Season 4 Finale: “What are you most passionate about in life?”
Who Knows?
On this finale of Season 4, each of our guests from the season come together to answer one question: “What are you most passionate about in life?” They all share answers that are just as unique as the people they are and the experiences they have had in life. It was such a joy to get the opportunity to speak to all of them this season, and I hope you enjoy one last moment of insight and inspiration with all of them. I also share a bit of what this season has meant to me and what my hopes are for the future of Who Knows? and my own life. It was tough to find the right words, and it’s even...

Season 4 Episode 8: "Health and Wellness" with M Camellia
Who Knows?
On our final interview episode of Season 4, we dive into the topic of health and wellness. There is so much to be said about how all of the toxic ways that health and wellness is portrayed can affect a person's mental health. The conversation needs to be had more often regarding how so many have been led to believe that food is bad, thin is the only acceptable body type, and that wellness only looks and acts one way. Not to mention its relation to accessibility, racism, and so many other, often forgotten, important pieces of this flawed concept. We begin as we always do with a topic...

Season 4 Episode 7: "Me Time" with Casey (@caseyandthebear)
Who Knows?
On this episode, we are coming together to talk about being alone. Some people hate it, and others want nothing more than to have a little me time every day of the week. There’s a balance to be struck between company and solitude, but either way you dice it, there are important benefits to finding the joy in spending time with yourself. Jessica begins with a fantastic topic breakdown, citing the major differences between alone time and being alone in an unhealthy way.

Season 4 Episode 6: "Sobriety" with J.Timber
Who Knows?
On this episode we discuss sobriety. We pull back the stigmas and tropes that we see so often and explode the realities of addiction and the benefits of choosing to stay sober. The research we begin with that Jessica brings to this episode is filled with layers of information that you may not have even begun to think about when it comes to this topic. From an introduction to the sober curious movement to the realities of the alcohol industry and their deep pockets. All the way to the current state of addiction statistics as a result of the pandemic. In our conversation, we...

Season 4 Episode 5: "Male Mental Health" with Cody Tapoler
Who Knows?
On this episode, we attempt to scratch the surface and start the conversation on a very large topic that seems almost unconquerable: Male Mental Health We begin as we always do with a topic breakdown from Jessica Sheriff, our resident mental health professional, who shares some of her amazing research regarding this topic. The statistics of the severity of mental illness among men, the realities of societal pressures on men, and the important consideration of the difficulties faced by men of marginalized groups when attempting to seek mental health care or simply begin the conversation about...

Season 4 Episode 4 :“Self Expression” with Kyle Rowe
Who Knows?
On this episode, we tackle what I think to be one of the biggest simply complicated topics of all: Self expression. Living your truth, loving what you love and being who you are. It seems like all it takes is to just..well...do it, right? But I’ve always found it much more complicated than that. So many of us have a hard time feeling comfort in all that we are and want to be. Past trauma, unkind words, and the fact that everyone seems to have an unsolicited opinion about what we choose to do! It sometimes feels like we live in a world where simply being you can be a rebellious act, but...

Season 4 Episode 3: “Coming Out” with Olivia Meeks
Who Knows?
On this episode, we are bursting into pride month with a conversation about coming out. That journey of moments in the lives of LGBTQIA+ individuals where we come into our true selves in our own way and with our own story. Each coming out journey is very different. Some are filled with joy and acceptance, others are unfortunately terrifying and confusing. Thankfully we have our resident therapist to kick us off with some affirming and protecting info to remind us that while coming out is wonderful and important, the MOST important thing to do is take care of and be yourself in your own way! We...

Who Knows?
In this episode, we are diving into a kind of emotional state that hides in plain sight, one that may show up in many areas of your life without even realizing it, and one that you may think you know the meaning of, but might want to revisit with new eyes. Enter: Codependency. And to better understand this topic, along with a fantastic topic breakdown from our resident therapist, Jessica Sheriff, I have the pleasure of sitting down with Jo Westwood, AKA “The Codependency Coach” and creator of the “Lovingly Fierce” Codependency Recovery Course. Jo is not only here to talk to us...
