  • 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.

  • How Professional Creatives Take Care of Themselves, with Austin Sasser

    How Professional Creatives Take Care of Themselves, with Austin Sasser
    Jul 13 2024
    In her second episode, Amora dives into how professional creatives can take care of themselves during times of stress with her friend and co-star, Austin Sasser!

    Sasser plays Fairy King Oberon & Duke Theseus in Janani Sreenivasan's upcoming production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at Under St. Mark's Theatre in the East Village, NYC, opening July 18th-28th. Buy in-person & livestream tickets here!

    Amora talks kings, cats, origin stories and a certain love-affair with the voice acting in the popular cartoon, Hazbin Hotel with Sasser.

    Sasser regales us with his affinity for Shakespeare, his experiences as an African American actor learning to embrace classical roles at the Atlantic School of Acting in NYC with the help of Anya Saffir, and how he invests heavily in the Canadian body care company, Lush.

    Amora & Austin touch on other actors of note who have inspired them, including Dame Judy Dench (a Titania of the ages), and Alan Rickman (Madly, Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman can be bought anywhere fine tea is spilled).

    All elements of this podcast written, created and produced by Amora Sun. Yeah, she was the one singing in the beginning and ending segments. The songs were "Happy Day in Hell" and "It Starts with Sorry," written/composed by Sam Haft & Andrew Underberg.

  • Sex! The Gift of Sexual Autonomy: Men's & Women's Psychological Sexual Health

    Sex! The Gift of Sexual Autonomy: Men's & Women's Psychological Sexual Health
    Jul 9 2024
    In this first episode, Amora takes on the most scintillating subject of all: sex!

    With real-life case examples 1 million years old to protect the identities of those she once treated, or so generalized no one could ever figure out their true identities, she reflects on what came up, what was reccomended, and larger societal sexual stigmas and constraints that we place on female pleasure, anatomy and how men can never be fully replaced by AI or vibrators (at least to straight women).

    Focusing on helping people of all genders not isolate themselves in the face of addiction to substances, s*#@%$ relationships and other compulsive traps, Amora touches on everything from limerance to the value of turning to yourself for pleasure first. Additional resources and information on how to support a partner recover from sexual abuse are at the end of the pod, and future episodes will include some of Amora's friends as they experiment with finding intimate partnerships post-pandemic in the Big Apple. And, of course, 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. Not because it's wrong, but because it's oh-so-right (and yet so difficult to remember to prioritize at times). She's an Enneagram #2/#6.
