  • 005: Alicia Blackburn Pt. 3 - Identity, Growth and Partnership
    Jul 16 2024

    In the conclusion of my interview with Alicia, we cover so many impactful points in their life that inspired growth. We dive into searching for identity and struggling to connect with self through loss, sexuality, gender conformity, spirituality and of course, loving all parts of ourselves.

    I've truly been inspired by Alicia's story and their unwillingness to give up on themselves. I can't wait to have them back to share more tales of growth and gain new perspectives in the continued pursuit to MILD OUT.

    Enjoy!

  • 003: Alicia Blackburn (Part 1) - Music, Trauma and Church...oh my!
    Jul 9 2024

    In this episode, I get to interview Alicia Blackburn (She/They), on their various traumas and how they have persevered.

    Starting at an early age, Alicia found coping mechanisms for their anxiety. This laid a foundation for finding new modalities to connect with emotion and survive a gauntlet of trauma for the past couple decades.

    We share in these experiences and unpack in an effort to edify, educate and entertain. We wouldn't shut up...so we've cut this into 3 parts for easy consumption.

    Please enjoy Part 1 of my interview with Alicia!

  • 002: Anger and finding it's root cause
    Jul 2 2024

    In episode 002, Matty talks about his experience as an angry person and how anger can rob us of joy. He sets off with connecting to the source of our anger - fear, trauma, self-doubt/loathing, etc. Discussing that we need to learn that our anger is a part of us and to NOT push it down, but to nurture it and love it for what it is.

    This leads to further discovery in gaining perspective, transmutation of negative thoughts to feeling better and self-love.
