Humdrumity: Escape Monotony

Nikki La Croce: Your Same Kind of Weird

People are people unconditionally - we all have the capacity to be both good and bad, but we all can also find ourselves in relationships with others both good and bad.

As a podcast host, Nikki La Croce used the power of conversation to help herself discover the courage to leave a toxic and abusive relationship. Her online authenticity led her to find healthy love with a new life partner, then to share their experiences and dialogues together with an online audience. Despite her trials and tribulations, Nikki continues to practice gratitude and find joyous moments in daily delights no matter how big or small.

David Funk: Circuitously Fabulous

Today I chat with my dear friend David Funk about his life journey and how it’s never too late to zig when life tries to make you zag. David took a long and winding road to find himself and arrive at his current self both personally and professionally – he exemplifies the Humdrumity quest to always better yourself by trying new things even in the face of adversity.

Christina Wenman: Observationalist Zoomer

Ah, to be young again! But is that to be young again in bygone days or would that be to be young again growing up in this day and age? Every generation faces its own challenges and obstacles - though we may try to understand it, only those maturing in it can ultimately describe navigating their way through the modern era. 

Finding worldly knowledge and inspiration then turning it into tangible action has been a lifelong passion of my guest. Christina Wenman is an author, podcast host, and burgeoning documentarian exploring life as a Zoomer in an era fraught with digital trappings. She will be our guide today as both a participant and observer of her generation’s journey of self-discovery.

Deborah Heiser: Mentorship Demystified

Mentorship is traditionally imagined as wise sages imparting wisdom from on high to eagerly engaged young disciples. But in the modern era, this perception needs to be demystified and redefined. 

As an Applied Developmental Psychologist, Dr. Deborah Heiser began researching the positive mental outcomes of aging. This work led her to the revelation that giving back is the ultimate means to achieve life fulfillment. With this understanding, she went on to found The Mentor Project which provided her with the insights to author the book “The Mentorship Edge.” 

Today she will discuss how hierarchical mentorship, while still relevant, is no more meaningful than lateral mentorship; why it is equally important for the old to learn from the young; and how the mentor/mentee relationship needs to be organic for best results.

David Beckemeyer: Doomscroll Overload

Are you a victim of the “at-all-hours” doomscroll? Do you snap out of endlessly looking at your online feeds to find yourself no less uninformed and feeling a whole lot more anxious, stressed and helpless about the world around you? You are not alone.

Today we are in luck as I am joined by David Beckemeyer host of “Outrage Overload” - a podcast that explores political polarization and focuses on reducing toxic outrage by promoting civil discourse. In our discussion, David will help us understand the mechanics behind outrage media and offer practical strategies for fostering media literacy and understanding in a divided world.

Dana Harvey: Are You Experienced?

There is a lot of talk about psychedelic healing and the power of psilocybin (magic mushrooms) to help overcome a myriad of mental and personality issues. At the same time, there are a lot of questions about finding knowledgeable and experienced practitioners in this field. 

To misquote the great Jimi Hendrix, “Are you experienced? Or have you ever been experienced? Well, my guest has.”

Dana Harvey previously spent over three decades working in high-level corporate communications and investor relations before finding her true calling to become a facilitator of psychedelic-based healing. She is the founder of The Flourish Academy where she works to provide evidence-based education and guidance to help break the stigma surrounding microdosing therapy.
