INTERVIEW: In light of the recent tragedy and mass shooting in Uvalde Texas that took place earlier this week, we’re talking to the kids. The students who across the country participated in school walkouts and are taking a stance on the current climate of gun reform in the United States. As you’ll hear there’s a lot of talk around mental health, but more-so the sheer access we have to firearms in this country.  Simply put, in America a gun has more rights than a woman’s body. This begs the question, what can we do on a local level to instill change? In this series I’m joined by local student protestors along with Erica Vilardi-Espinosa — a candidate for the local Los Angeles School Board (specifically LAUSD School Board District 2). She shares with Bedside her thoughts on how we can begin to better instill systems that support the wellbeing and safety of students and educators alike.

QUICKIE: Ghosting...the original bad boy. Everyone has a ghosting story and most people have been on both sides of the equation. Ghosting refers to the disappearing act people pull when they want to leave a relationship or potential relationship. If a breakup wasn’t bad enough, Ghosting takes it to new levels as it gives absolutely no explanation, follow up, or point of further communication. Today we've got Amanda Blair here to  break down all the ins, outs, energetics and tips for ghosting. We also cover the Science of Ghosting — yes, this has been a scientifically researched topic! I remember when I was going through a recent ghosting experience and wondered how to handle it with “grace”. This episode is the answer I wish I had during that time.
