Queer Collective Podcast

Is it okay to be bad at keeping in touch? It doesn’t feel okay. It feels shitty. Every time we forget to call someone it feels like a choice, like we've prioritized something else that's more important to us than the people we care about. Except scrolling our phones definitely is not more important than calling our grandparents.... so why don't we prioritize it?

Knowing how to deal with tough situations isn't easy. That's why Karbon and Emily have put together 3 tips to help you deal with any conflict you face in your life going forward. Losing your cool during times of conflict has happened to us all at one point or another, but learning to approach it in a new way can help you diffuse a situation before it escalates . Enjoy!

The wort pain of your life... and it's hilarious. This past week Karbon severely injured her back and was unable to walk for several days. If you've ever had a serious injury you know how painful, depressing and BORING it is to be injured. In this week's podcast we talk all about injuries. The bad, the ugly, the hilarious, and what we learned from all of our shenanigans.

Making friends is hard, & often maintaining those friendships can be even more challenging. In this weeks episode Karbon & Emily talk about their trip into the woods, the loss of a friend, and the revelations they had that encouraged them to break the cycle of bail culture in their own lives & put themselves back out there.

Let's get real. As a queer person, sometimes just being yourself can be scary, nerve-wracking and even downright dangerous. This week Emily and Karbon uncover their internalized homophobia and speak on the times they have felt like they should "act straight" in order to protect themselves. Today we get down to the root cause of why we experience these behaviours in ourselves and why you might be doing it too. Enjoy the episode!
