This week, we're revisiting this sweeping conversation with TEDWomen curator Pat Mitchell, where Close shares the inspiration behind the advocacy group she founded to combat the crisis, underscoring the transformative power of community and the critical need for comprehensive mental health care systems.

Today, I had the pleasure of interviewing my friend Emily about her incredible journey with tarot and sobriety. We delved into her deep passion for tarot and how it’s been a pivotal part of her healing journey. Emily opened up about her experiences with body image and self-acceptance, and how she’s navigated those challenges. Emily also shared her journey with her decision to quit drinking. We discussed how crucial it is to find support and resources when you’re on the path to sobriety, and the profound impact of sharing personal stories. She also talked about the concept of connecting with her higher self, which was unbelievably beautiful. To wrap up our conversation, Emily did a tarot card reading that really highlighted the importance of making adjustments, setting practical plans, and taking time for meditation and contemplation. It was a deeply insightful chat that left me inspired by Emily’s journey and the power of tarot in her life. Enjoy!

Recovery, Treatment, Connection || Part 2 of Jackie G ft Kailey 1:16:16

1:16:16

Today is the day we finally get to release Part Two of my interview where my wonderful, beautiful wife Kailey switched seats with me to be the host, interviewing yours truly. I loved part two SO much. After processing through some difficult parts of my story in part 1, it felt hopeful getting to share what the recovery journey looked like on the other side. Coming to terms with the fact that I had an eating disorder, an addiction, and severe depression changed everything for me. I got to talk with Kailey about what it was like going to therapy with a badass therapist, admitting myself into a treatment center for people with eating disorders and addiction, coming out, and falling in love. Ultimately, we talked about how recovery is not linear, how it was always about connection, and how important our relationships with our bodies truly are.

לפני 1 year49:02

49:02

Welcome back, dear listeners! Season 5 - holy mother forking shirt balls - starts today with a surprise switcheroo. My beautiful perfect wife, Kailey, is joining us today to interview ME. In the episode I share my experience growing up with ultra-conservative "Left Behind movie era" (IYKYK) parents obsessed with thinness, trying to scare my sister and I into heaven, ultimately leading to me doing everything I could to be as disconnected from my body as possible. I go on to talk about being sexually assaulted as a teenager, being the personal assistant to an emotionally and sexually abusive boss ten years older than me (IYKYK), and falling head-first into an eating disorder and alcohol addiction. After recording this for about an hour, I remembered how EXHAUSTING it is to dive deep into these stories and conversations. That being said, Kailey and I decided it would be best to continue this in our next episode with part 2. That'll be where I talk about coming out, therapy, treatment, meeting Kailey, and ultimately learning how to be connected to my body and why I would want to be. Anyway, thank you so much for following me through so many twists and turns over the past five-plus years. I can't get over how cool that is, and will forever be grateful for that. Okay, that's enough for now. Enjoy! Follow me: IG: @jackieg.tv www.jackiegronlund.com Follow Kailey: IG: @kailey424 Cover Art by Casey Williams IG: @helloimcaseyw Music by Lucas Taffo…

Abby Jo Morris || Trans Experience, Eating Disorders & Evangelicalism 1:15:10

1:15:10

“When I came out as trans, I realized I wanted a body that was all for me.” - @abby.jo.mo I got to interview Abbie Jo Morris on the podcast today and was reminded why I started the show in the first place. Abby is incredible, and if this is your first time listening, you’re making the right choice. Abby is a Maine based writer who explores the intersections between various identities including trans woman, Jewish convert, chronically ill spoony, and sex-positive poly slut. Abby joined me on the podcast today to talk about her experience growing up in a highly conservative part of Florida while being raised as a fundamentalist evangelical. We definitely bonded over the correlation with that, and how we both struggled with eating disorders in the midst of it. It was really interesting to dive deep into the similarities of the rigidness between Evangelicalism and eating disorders. We went on to talk about her journey coming out of Christianity and finding Judaism, and how that coincided with her coming out as a trans woman. Abby is someone who I feel like I’ve known for my whole life. We both left this conversation feeling so full of life and wanting to dive even deeper into who we are, and that is exactly why I love doing this podcast. Enjoy!

Bex Mui || Healing, Reclaiming, & Reframing Your Spiritual Practice 1:05:46

1:05:46

For today’s episode, I had the honor of talking with Bex Mui, a queer witch, energy worker, and spiritual organizer. Bex is the founder of House of Our Queer, a Spiritual place base, and the author of the book House of Our Queer, Healing, Reframing, and Reclaiming Your Spiritual Practice. In our interview, Bex talked about what it looked like being raised Catholic in regard to her sexuality and her relationship with her body, what it looked like to take the space that she needed to heal, and then being able to freely reclaim what felt true and enjoy the spirituality that has always been rightfully hers. One of the things that Bex said in the interview that stood out the most to me was: “As a young witch and a young healer, I did have this sense that all of this noise, everything that I was hearing from the church and the community had to do with the fact that there was some type of power in my body. There was a lot of noise and a lot of control, and that wouldn’t be something that was happening if there wasn’t something that they wanted” Hearing those words gave me goosebumps. Enjoy the episode, and don''t forget to check out Bex's book. House of Our Queer will forever have a place on my shelf.

Today I got to interview James Barnes, also known as The Trans Coach. James is a Corporate Motivational Speaker and Stress + Mindset Coach whose mission in life is to empower people through life transitions in and out of work. He wants to help people create more empathy and understanding for not only others, but also themselves. He is a father, and husband, and also happens to be a Trans man. It was such an honor to have James on the podcast today to share his story about his own transition, and how his experience was healing the man that he’s always been. My favorite part of our conversation was when James talked about what it looks like to define yourself both in and out of your transition, versus just jumping from one checked box to the next. He talked about how important it is to just be a friend to yourself and learn who you’ve always been. Enjoy!

"My Government Means to Kill Me is an exhilarating, fast-paced, coming-of-age story that lends itself to a larger discussion about what it means for a young, gay, Black man in the mid-1980s to come to terms with his role in the midst of a political and social reckoning."

Hello, my dear internet friends! This week I got to interview Brian Sonia-Wallace, the West Hollywood Poet Laureate, Harper Collins Author, and one of the most creative/ unique people I've ever gotten to talk to. In 2012, Brian set up a typewriter on the street with a sign that said “Poetry Store” and accidentally started their business: RENT Poet. Over 5,000 poems later, their book of essays, The Poetry of Strangers , profiles the communities they've written for across America, and the desperate desire to be listened to and heard that they found. Excerpts have been published in The Guardian and Rolling Stone, and they've been the official Writer in Residence for unlikely clients from Amtrak to the Mall of America. I got to talk with this incredible human about what it was like traveling America with a typewriter, meeting countless strangers, and talking about what they need. We also talked about Brian's story of how they became who they are today, how their relationship with their body has grown over the years through outlets like bodybuilding and theatre, and what it means to be a poet.

לפני 4 years1:05:16

1:05:16

Hello, dear internet friends! This week was one of my favorite weeks here on the podcast because I got to talk with my lovely lady, Kailey, about how our relationships with our bodies have changed throughout the course of our relationship with eachother. There are a million and one things to be said about that, so processing it here was a lot of fun. We talked about what it's like processing trauma in therapy while having a serious partner, not being able to "hide", allowing ourselves to express our needs to each other, Kailey's autoimmune disorder, etc. Oh, and we had a pretty big announcement to make, so don't miss that ;) Enjoy!

Jonathan Parks-Ramage || "Yes, Daddy", Evangelical Trauma, Power Dynamics 1:01:29

1:01:29

Hello friends! For this week's episode, I had the honor of interviewing an incredible author, Jonathan Parks-Ramage. Jonathan Parks-Ramage is a Los Angeles-based novelist, screenwriter, and journalist. His debut novel, YES, DADDY, is now available wherever books are sold. His writing has been widely published in such outlets as VICE, Slate, OUT Magazine, W Magazine, Atlas Obscura, Elle, and Medium. On the episode, Jonathan gives us a peek into the world of writing his novel, Yes, Daddy, and how he used truth to write fiction. The book is an exploration of class, power dynamics, and the nuances of victimhood and complicity. Personally, I couldn't put it down. He also shares his story about spirituality and talks about ways that the evangelical church is extremely harmful. Incredible interview. Enjoy!

This week I got the chance to interview one of the most important voices on the internet regarding faith and sexuality, Kevin Garcia. Kevin is a digital pastor, creative mystic, and public theologian. Through writing, podcasting, YouTubing, etc, Kevin has created an online platform that literally saves lives. As a queer woman who has a bit of a rough history with the Christianity stuff, this episode was an encouragement. By pulling apart bad theology and reconstructing sustainable spiritual practices, Kevin both helps us free ourselves, and those around us. Enjoy!
