Whether it’s in your garage, basement, storage unit, or the back of a closet, I think most of us are holding on to a box or two of miscellaneous objects from our childhood. I had all but forgotten that I was storing a box of musical figurines in my garage until I discovered it soaked through on the flooded floor. Unpacking the box and assessing the damage brought up a complicated mix of emotions. On this bonus episode, I’m joined by Natalie and Rebecca Davey, hosts of Reframeables, to explore a different perspective on my relationship with my mom and the gifts she gave me throughout my life.
Despite never showing any interest in delicate, not-to-be-played-with toys, they were always waiting for me under the Christmas tree. What was my mom trying to do within the dynamic of our family by curating other people's collections? Why was it so hard for her to accept my aesthetic and lifestyle?
Natalie, Rebecca, and I dig deeper into these questions and talk about the vulnerability that exists in the mother-daughter dynamic. They really help me reframe and remember the things that I loved about my mom and the effort she made to connect our family.
If you enjoy this conversation, I encourage you to check out Reframeables to hear the deeply insightful and healing discussions they bring to every episode.

Bonus Episode--All the Wiser, Hosted by Kimi Culp!
January 18, 2023

If you got the chance to interview the host of one of your favorite podcasts, what questions would you ask them? On this past Season, Season 3, I got that chance. Kimi Culp, the host of the podcast All the Wiser, was a guest on my show. On All the Wiser, Kimi interviews people with remarkable stories. Stories about the darkest moments of their life. What brought them there? How did they get through it? And what wisdom did they gain from that experience? There were a lot of things I wanted to ask Kimi, but the first question that popped into my head was about one guest in particular. This guest was Sue Klebold. Sue Klebold is the mother of Dylan Klebold, one of the perpetrators of the mass shooting at Columbine High School in 1999. The mass shooting at Columbine wasn’t the first mass shooting at a high school, but for some reason it became the most iconic and felt like the beginning of the ongoing wave of school shootings we’ve seen in the United States. I asked Kimi about inviting the mother of one of the most notorious mass shooters on her show. Why did she choose her? Was she nervous about how this choice would be interpreted by her listeners? Kimi’s answer to me was incredibly moving and, if you haven’t heard my episode from Season 3 with Kimi, I invite you to go back and listen to it. Thanks to Kimi’s courage in this choice of guest, I would say that my heart grew just a bit more. First, when I listened to Kimi’s interview of Sue Klebold. And second, when Kimi told me why she interviewed her.
As a bonus episode between seasons, I’m sharing Kimi Culp's interview with Sue Klebold from her podcast All the Wiser. I’ll put a link back to the All the Wiser website so that you can read the show notes from this episode and check out more episodes from this show.

Today, I’m joined by fine art photographer Jesse Freidin to discuss his latest project, Are You Ok?, a portrait and interview series of trans and non-binary youth across the US.
Jesse describes his vision for articulating the message that the only way to have a non-binary child is to support them 一 a major contradiction to the story that’s being told in mainstream media. In showing the faces of young people who are under attack, Jesse hopes to use these intimate portraits as an educational tool to change hearts, minds, and legislation.
In our conversion, we go in depth about what compelled Jesse to pursue this project and how deeply fulfilling the journey has been so far. His work explores what it means to love unconditionally and live authentically, despite the dangers and stigma of doing so as a gender nonconforming person.
Throughout history, photography has been crucial for creating change. So far this year, 20 states have proposed anti-trans bills that attempt to restrict access to education, healthcare, sports, and other areas that allow trans and non-binary youth to thrive. Projects like Are You Ok? offer a platform for kids and families to show a different perspective and change the narrative.
Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Castbox, or on your favorite podcast platform.
Topics Covered:
● What sparked the idea for Are You Ok?
● Jesse’s thought process behind the composition and framing of these portraits
● The dangers of the current wave of anti-trans legislation across the US
● Imagery as a vehicle for social change
● Jesse’s vision for the future of this project
● The unexpected healing and community that this series has brought Jesse
