Stand Up
from What Was That? · host Jessica Goodfellow
An honest exploration of what happens when competence collapses, control stops working, and action becomes the only path back to healing, connection, and self-trust.The themes of proving and performance have followed me around for yonks. After arriving in Brisbane it came time to confront them. Today I discuss my rather measly tenure as a battle dancer and how it became a doorway to stand up comedy, which more or less saved my life. Sorry chat gpt, I’m not calling it ‘The Shape of Waiting’.Incredible psychologist: https://www.spathiswellbeing.com/aboutAs mentioned in the episode, here you can watch gift horse, my beginner comedy special: youtube.com/watch?v=GW_ou_UgowE&feature=youtu.be This is a public episode.
