Navigating Chaos: Reflection, Resilience, and Pluto in Aquarius (episode 94)

12/13/2024 72 min 17 sec

This week, I’m celebrating the third anniversary of GatherThem Podcast! It’s been a journey, and I’m proud to have kept this project alive despite the ups and downs. In this episode, I open up about my recent hospital stay, dealing with kidney health challenges, and how it’s forced me to reflect on self-care, resilience, and the power of trusting my intuition.I’ll also share my thoughts on navigating the systemic challenges we all face—whether it’s work, healthcare, or just trying to find balance in a chaotic world. Plus, with Pluto now in Aquarius, I dive into the rapid changes happening in technology, the push for self-sovereignty, and why I think staying ahead of the curve is more important than ever.Through it all, I’m learning to embrace change, trust my instincts, and build a community of like-minded individuals who are ready to grow and thrive. Additionally I discuss the UnitedHealth CEO murder, the recent Jay-Z scandal, and my thoughts on Chipotle raising their prices in 2025.Join me as I reflect on the past, look to the future, and celebrate this incredible milestone with all of you.

Children's Television: A House of Horrors

03/22/2024 77 min 20 sec

This week, I give a brief recap of my life and some rapid topic thoughts on news topics that have come up over the past two weeks. Also, I delve into the first two episodes of Quiet on Set, a documentary shedding light on the mistreatment endured by staff and child actors within Nickelodeon. Streaming on Max, this eye-opening series exposes the horrors of gender inequality, racism, and the blatant child abuse adults did very little about. Buckle up, because as a Millennial who grew up watching shows like All That, The Amanda Show, and Drake and Josh, I have plenty to discuss and a lot unpack and I only got through the first two episodes!Twitter: @GatherThemPodIG: @GatherThemPodTumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/weallgatherhereEmail: Gatherthempod@gmail.com

Additionally, I discussed the trailer for the two-part Wendy Williams documentary, showed interest in the Selena/Yolanda docuseries, and expressed thoughts on Tinashe's debut album "Aquarius" ahead of her concert!Twitter: @GatherThemPodIG: @GatherThemPodTumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/weallgatherhereEmail: Gatherthempod@gmail.com
