Libby de Franco and Olivia Merwood present ‘Do It Bad’ – A podcast about showing up in the world as your most authentic, loud, and messy self. In these episodes we explore the idea that showing up badly is better than not showing up at all– in fact, sometimes it’s EVEN BETTER.
Join us in our fun, fast-paced discussions, exploring how we (accidentally and intentionally) became the most queer, witchy, cringiest humans– and our hottest tips for how to have the most fun ever and love yourself while doing it. We chat about the ideas and people that have influenced our work in the world, the way that we show up, and the way we BE in the world.
Do it Bad is a big ol’ permission slip to show up in the world however you want– and maybe even when you don’t fucking feel like it at all, because it’s still worth it. ;)
Death Becomes Them
In this very special episode of Do It Bad, we hold a séance for our special guest Tumi Moloto, contacting their spirit in the underworld to discuss Tumi’s recent experiences going through a death portal.
* We invite you to be aware that this episode discusses suicidal ideation and death. Please choose wisely if listening is right for you at this time. It is not for the faint of heart, but will move you in ways you can’t possibly imagine. *
In this episode, we communicate with Tumi's soul about:
- Normalising death through the micro-dosing of death, walking with death, and metaphorical deaths
- The concept of existential kink as described by Carolyn Elliot and how it relates to Tumi’s death portal experience
- The active choosing of life through choosing metaphorical death
- The idea that fear is the part of desire that we aren’t in approval of yet
- The eros of death, and how death and sex are deeply intertwined
You can find Tumi via Instagram – Instagram.com/tumimoloto777 (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FInstagram.com%2Ftumimoloto777%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR37YN-VSwg7sypUGQOALinSXdrtoAUei53Podx56CSHfIi87kbfc9FvNG8&h=AT3k4drUCTV4hlWfsIlEKI_cLog7iwuS8PzTfV_w0WivRNBSJIsXk97XK4VLA66y5vJNH4VXAtewKMssSLlmAZzEb9mdBp3zQ7SXPC0MZlLXSiVAA1Tl2OrSmBBbqvlucybtgQ8)
“Evolution only happens from the willingness to do it bad.”
