Shane's Shorts - Aging
Aging is something we all experience. Some of us fear it, some of us celebrate it. In this video, I talk about varying views on aging and what it can represent. Regardless of your feelings about it, aging isn't something you can stop. It's important to consider your mindset about it and how you allow it to affect you. #authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #aging #age #gettingolder #ageisjustanumber #wisdom

Shane's Shorts - Men's Mental Health Awareness Month
June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month so I thought I'd take a moment to acknowledge some of the mental health challenges men face. No matter who you are, it's ok to ask for help. And having emotions is a natural part of being a human being. #authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #men #mentalhealth #weakness #menhavefeelingstoo#mensmentalhealthawareness

Being YOU! Season 4, Episode 10: Roundtable
Based on the amazing feedback from last season, we decided to bring back the roundtable discussion. Our conversation revolved around the intersection of mental health challenges and being part of the LGBTQ+ community. This time, my panel of guests included Phoebe Weng, Isabel, Serafin, and Andrew Robertson. They shared personal stories about their own experiences with being queer, gave feedback on mental health challenges within the community, and offered feedback on suggestions on how to help others find resources and improve their mental health. And of course, we touched on authenticity throughout the conversation. This was another open and real discussion with some really great people! Thank you all for participating, sharing, laughing, and offering feedback on something that impacts most (if not all) members of our community. I am VERY appreciative!This Season's Authenticity Ambassador is the Transgender Center of the Rockies.Check them out at transgendercenteroftherockies.orgA big THANK YOU to all of our sponsors this season!

Shane's Shorts - Benefits of Self Pleasure
In this video I discuss the often "taboo" topic of masturbation. I talk about the benefits of pleasuring oneself...such as stress reduction, improved sleep, and a deeper connection to one's own body. I strongly believe that when we allow ourselves to talk openly about things, we minimize shame, misunderstandings, and ignorance associated with those things. There is nothing "wrong" with masturbation if it is a personal choice, no one is being harmed by it or forced to participate, and you are doing what is aligned with your own personal preferences and beliefs. #authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #masturbation#selfpleasure#orgasm#ecstacy#mentalhealth #connection #release #benefits

Shane's Shorts - The Naked Body
We all come into this world naked. And under the clothes and adornments we wear, it's all we have. We judge ourselves and others, strive for a "perfection" that does NOT exist, and are often shamed about our bodies and how we present them.Remember this: Every body is different...and beautiful! Love yourself and your body.#authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #body #naked#confidence #empathy #dignity #imperfection

Shane's Shorts - Pride Month
June is Pride Month so I thought I'd share a bit of info on the history, types of celebrations, and the civil rights movement of the LGBTQ+ community. We have been fighting for our rights, equality, and the right to be who we are for generations. And there is still more work to do. Keep fighting, be yourselves, and be proud of who you are! Happy Pride Month!#authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #pride #lgbtq #stonewall #riots #civilrightsmovement #celebration #proud #loveislove

Shane's Shorts - Toning It Down
My entire life I experienced moments where others were trying to get me to "tone it down" in one way or another. Sometimes, it's a look. Others, there were comments like "you talk to much" or "can we take it down to a 7?". For much of my life, it would really affect me. I'd be embarrassed. And since I was such a people pleaser who HATED conflict, I'd often try to change my behaviors. But then it dawned on me...I was just being ME! Authentically ME! I also realized that in many of those scenarios, it wasn't about ME at all. It was the person who made the comment or gave the look that had an issue. Perhaps THEY felt what I was doing or saying was inappropriate...based on THEIR views, beliefs, upbringing, or insecurities. In some cases, it may have even been that they were envious because I was doing something they felt THEY couldn't or were NOT ALLOWED to do. Either way...I'm gonna pass on "toning it down"! I'm going to continue to be my loud, outspoken, curious, ADHD, silly, childlike, self with my dark/twisted/inappropriate (at times) sense of humor. I am FULLY aware I am not everyone's cup of tea. And I'm ok with that. Thank you, as always, for your support. Be yourselves, and have a great day everyone!#authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #immabeme#loud #outspoken #adhd #childlike #humor #curious #toneitdown

Shane's Shorts - Autism Acceptance Month
In this video I talk about Autism Acceptance Month and various symptoms and criteria of Autism Spectrum Disorder. A lot of assumptions are made about individuals on the Autism spectrum. And there are a lot of misconceptions. The goal of Autism Acceptance Month is to expand the understanding, awareness, and acceptance of those with Autism. I challenge you to further educate yourself about it in an effort to minimize any misconceptions and/or a lack of understanding you may have.Thanks for watching!

Shane's Shorts - Music
In this video I talk about music and the ways in which it can affect a person. I've always loved music and realized from a young age how impactful it can be. Whether it's a song from your favorite movie, a commercial jingle living rent-free in your head, or a song that reminds you of someone special...music can completely change your mood. So blast your favorite song, get up and dance, sing in your car, and/or reminisce about whatever the music reminds you of. #authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #music #song #dance

Being YOU! Season 4, Episode 3: Stan Bush
This is the third episode of Season 4. I had a great conversation with 80s rock sensation, Stan Bush. His music, which spans SIX DECADES, has been featured in several movies, A video game, an animated series, a soap opera, AND the Olympics. It's also won him an Emmy Award. With thirteen solo albums and nearly twenty singles as a solo artist, it's obvious he keeps himself busy. During our time together, we discussed his decades-long, ongoing career in the music industry. He shared personal stories, talked about family and spirituality, and shared what it's been like being closely associated with the Transformers movie franchise over the past five decades. THANK YOU Stan for joining the show and sharing your life with us! It was great meeting you and I look forward to what comes next for you.

Shane's Shorts - Coming Out
In this video I touch on various aspects of coming out...including the privilege of NOT having to do so! I knew I was gay at 10 years old. But I didn't come out until I was 23! Prior to that, I didn't feel I COULD come out! And my coming out process lasted 2-3 years. As a therapist, I've had many discussions with clients about their own coming out experiences. It's sad to me that it's something people still have to go through. I'm hoping this video brings some things into perspective and challenges people to think about what people go through as part of their coming out experience. #authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #comingout #lgbtq #queer #fear #rejection #youarenotalone

Shane's Shorts - It's OK to NOT be OK
I wanted to be vulnerable and honest and let others know that it's ok to not be ok. I learned from a very young age how to play the part of the happy, outgoing, funny guy who's always laughing and in a good mood. But the truth of the matter is, I've struggled quite a bit the past year and a half, despite what my socials or outward demeaner may indicate. So, I wanted to put this out there to let anyone who is struggling know they are not alone! Life can be hard and overwhelming and sometimes just downright shitty! Please do whatever you can to take care of yourselves. Lean on a friend, seek out a therapist, take a trip, take a nap...whatever it is that works for you. Be yourselves and have the best day you can! #authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #notokay #struggle #lifeishard #notalone #mentalhealth #overwhelmed #selfcare

Shane's Shorts - Suicide & Self-Harm - Part 4 of 4
This is the fourth of 4 videos on suicide and self-harm. I am sharing information and my opinions based on 16 years' experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am hoping to leave viewers with a greater level of insight, understanding, and awareness on the topic. Suicide and self-harm are VERY serious issues and are not discussed as openly as I feel they need to be. This lack of communication/discussion can lead to worsening mental health challenges and/or increased suicidality and self-harming behaviors in those who are struggling. Please challenge yourself to become more comfortable discussing these topics with friends, family, and those you care about. You never know who may be struggling but keeping it to themselves because they feel they can't or shouldn't talk about it. Keep in mind...talking about it may just save a life!PLEASE NOTE: If you, or someone you know, is struggling, please speak to someone and/or reach out to a mental health professional for support and resources. You can also go to The Trevor Project at thetrevorproject.org to get help, and for additional information, support, and resources.YOU MATTER!#authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #suicide#selfharm #youmatter #trevorproject #mentalhealth #counseling #therapy

Religious trauma is something that many people have experienced...myself included. It's the emotional, physical, and psychological harm that can be caused by oppressive, abusive, or high-control religious environments and doctrines. Symptoms include anxiety, depression, shame, and guilt, among other things. Working through this trauma involves deconstructing harmful beliefs, validating the experience, creating new support systems, and often working with a therapist.If you have experienced religious trauma, please know...you are not alone. And If you need further assistance in processing your trauma, please reach out to a mental health professional. Take care of yourselves, be yourselves, and have a great day!#authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #religioustrauma #youarenotalone

Shane's Shorts - Gender vs Sex
In this video I share some brief information about the differences between gender and sex. My hope is to give people some VERY basic information that may help them better understand aspects of gender, sex, sexuality, and attraction. I don't expect anyone to fully understand it all. That being said, I DO challenge people to make an effort to further educate themselves...on anything they may not understand and/or are ignorant to. **And PLEASE understand, when I say "ignorant" I do NOT mean stupid. MY definition of ignorant is having a lack of knowledge, understanding, exposure to something.Thanks for watching, be yourselves, and have a great day!#authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #gender #sex#attraction #identity #presentation #beyourself #educateyourself

Shane's Shorts - Trying New Things
Sometimes, you gotta try something new or different. It's easy to get stuck in our normal routine and end up in a sort of "autopilot". So I challenge you to shake things up now and then. Try new things, do something differently than you typically would, and even step outside your comfort zone from time to time. It's a great way to keep things interesting. And who knows...maybe you will find something new that you really enjoy.#authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #new #different #comfortzone #trynewthings
