  • Resumen

  • Ever wonder what your friendly neighbourhood shrink is really thinking?
    After 13 years of practice and facing down the pandemic-scaries, Amora Sun shares some of her insights, observations and humor around the universal challenges of trying to exist in our flesh-suits.

    Remember when everyone was getting laid off or losing people they loved over the past 4 years due to the virus that shall not be named? Amora does, and she often worked well into the evening, including Saturday's! That's right, Amora confronts her workaholism and fear of disappointing others by focusing on making music, theatre and artwork in New York City!
    Riddled with odd voices and... intriguing impressions, Amora uses her flair for the absurd to highlight human frailty in a compassionate and unassuming way.

    Amora has run a tiktok account (@floodofjewels) sharing some of her personal and professional journeys since 2020 and was a mental health columnist for the Canadian classic newspaper, the Yellowknifer, from 2019-2022. While "Counsellor's Corner" is no longer in production, Amora is dedicated to trying to help folks who would never ordinarily set foot in a counsellor's office loosen up to the idea that maybe feeling brief spells of happiness is possible. She likes to act in plays sometimes, and to humiliate herself at improv and stand-up open mics, which she highlights @wecolorblush.

    Amora has already sampled a wide array of prospective life-partners in New York City. A good chunk of this podcast will be featuring some of her excursions and perceptions about... just what the heck is going on exactly.... Here's what one local texted her after she politely declined to continue seeing him due to... philosophical differences.

    "Yeah right, sweet-cheeks. Check your psychology degree at the door when dating a local!"
    - Staten Island Man #2

    After treating survivors and offenders of bad things like family violence, and having benefited from other podcasters brave enough to discuss difficulties that can't only be dealt with by first responders all the time, she is attempting to take up the torch and provide information and resources that can keep people from spiralling while using herself as a prime example.

    "Recovering from burnout? This podcast is for you! There's no one I know more burnt out who I'm surprised is still alive and... still shrinking? holy--"
    -Trusted Colleague/Friend

    So, join Amora and her friends as they experiment with finding intimate partnerships post-pandemic in the Big Apple. Feel slightly reassured that you're listening to a "trained professional" that can talk about breaking out of codependent patterns in such a clear and visceral way because they too... are just fine. Everything's fine! And, of course, you will love this pod as it will provide special emphasis on healthy-living strategies and self/other care will be highlighted... because you know the BIGGEST relationship you EVER have to invest in is the one with YOURSELF.

    Amora is still working on figuring out how to not vomit a little every time she hears herself repeat that last part... to herself.

  • Feeling Centered While Being Seen with Alyssa Poon

    Feeling Centered While Being Seen with Alyssa Poon
    Aug 6 2024
    Alyssa Poon has been living and working as a voice actor, narrator, theatre actor and much more since she made the migration from San Francisco to New York City to pursue her undergraduate degree at NYU (go violets!).

    Poon's enervating presence translates and moves anyone who beholds her. As we reflect on her performance and interpretation of the character, Puck, from Janani Sreenivasan's recent production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, we also explore what it is to embrace the unknown.

    After becoming enthralled with New York's theatre scene and deciding to stay after graduation, Alyssa has performed in Drunk Shakespeare and narrated about a million audiobooks if you Google her name under Audible. Being centered as a performer can be a challenge at times when we become too concerned with what other people -- critics, future casting directors, our friends still in Can- I mean San Francisco -- may think of us.

    Poon has been doing this for awhile and her awareness of her strengths and areas for growth speak volumes around her dynamism and professionalism as an artist. I hope to see her in many productions to come, and of course, download some of those audiobooks.

  • Staying True to Yourself as a Professional Creative with Genesis Taina Luciano & Ellison Estwick

    Staying True to Yourself as a Professional Creative with Genesis Taina Luciano & Ellison Estwick
    Aug 2 2024
    Have you ever wondered how to stay true to yourself while competing in one of the most powerful and impressive artistic cities in the world?

    On this episode of Saturday Night Shrinking, we talk with Genesis Taina Luciano and Ellison Estwick about their respective journeys in film, writing, performance, dance and acting as two native New Yorkers working hard to realize their creative dreams.

    We discuss ethics in the entertainment industry, how to keep our integrity when offered large sums of money to compromise it, and how to prepare for different jobs with alacrity and organization.

    While a Midsummer Night's Dream has officially closed for the time being, we remember its jollity and solemnity fondly, and take the experience into our bright futures.

    Ultimately, we are only as successful as how truly and respectfully we are prepared to love. There are many forms of love, but if we learn how to offer it without expectation, and to resist the urge to punish or detroy love due to our own discomfort with it, we can truly harness its tremendous ability to change lives for the better. Staying true to ourselves is indeed one of the deepest acts of love we can possibly extend, and as the saying goes, charity starts at home. Lastly, to quote Lauren Hill, a brilliant New Jersey woman of color: "How you gonna win if you ain't right within?"

    Jul 22 2024
    It's the subject we all both yearn to obtain and dread to ask for: Real love.

    Join me and Isabel Criado as we invesitgate the differences between examples of authentic, healthy romantic connection presented in our show A Midsummer Night's Dream at Under St. Mark's Theatre in Manhatten, NY. Get tickets here! Not in New York City? That's totally fine! Watch it on the livestream on Saturday! Just click July 27th as your date and wham! You're set to remotely enjoy the show from the comfort of your couch, bed, replete with snacks, as you will.

    In this episode, we ask the question: what is the difference between genuine care, affection and dotage and the skinny half-love hallmark to the phenomenon of limerance? We explore it all alongside some sneak previews of some of the most notable loving and unloving moments in the play, including how parental love can look different across the generations, and how self-love can anchor us into finding, keeping and continuing to appreciate that real authentic love we are all seeking.

    How can we fully and unconditionally practice loving ourselves so we can fully and unconditionally love another worthy of such care? Find out here with Saturday Night Shrinking!
