   Episode 19: Your Limitations On Me Are Not My Problem (+ Boy, Snow, Bird)

   hello hello! thank you for being here. i'm very grateful to be here too :) recently in this past year, i've been learning how to make friends, what i like and don't like, how to say no again, basically how to be myself again after deciding to be sober and being committed to taking care of my mental health. it's not a straight line in terms of learning and applying those lessons to my life, but it's important that i take a moment to fully realize that all of the old ways that i used to do things just won't work anymore. that includes interrogating all of the limitations that other people have put on me and why i felt i had to believe those limitations. i talk about a lot - why the adult/child power dynamic is so intense in regards to this, why realizing that the very vast majority of people do not have my best interest at heart has been weirdly liberating, and how reading Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi has been a great book in this time of my life. if you haven't read Boy, Snow, Bird (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy,_Snow,_Bird) yet, I very much recommend it.

   Episode 18: Your Real Issue with Nepotism (+ The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo)

   hello hello! if you're new here, hi! my name is genesis. and if you're not, hello old friend! today, i am talking about nepotism. it's a really passionate topic of discussion lately and I'm honestly befuddled as to why. regardless, it's a topic that i've been thinking about for a while now, especially since enduring some financial trauma. i think it's really easy to think of nepotism as bad and "self-made" as good or vice versa. i think it's really easy to think about this as a right or wrong issue, but it's a fully gray area. and i think it’s really easy to think about it as only beneficial when that’s not always the case. everyone's experience (or non-experience) with nepotism is different, but it's all ultimately about money. i think the shame around money leads to the lack of transparency around it and why it can, most of the time, be a really taboo topic. i'm throwing my hat into the analysis ring. this week, i'm also talking about nepotism through a book I just finished: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I briefly state my review, but it also prompts some conversation about the topic of nepotism in regards to Hollywood and the entertainment industry (which seems to be at the center of the discourse). thank you for listening :) i'm happy you're here and i'm really grateful to be here too!

   Episode 17: Sure, They're Cute...But Are They Kind?

   hello hellooo!! recently, i've been reflecting on hook-up culture and the future of monogamy. i feel like every fourth person is talking to me about someone they met on one of "the apps" whether that's Tinder, Grindr, Bumble, etc. And I think that there are some issues that we have to watch out for when body-based apps are how people are meeting people and putting themselves out there. Also! I think it's important we all remember that modern hook-up culture takes its roots in queer spaces, specifically the piers in New York City in the 70s and 80s. consent and safety are always topics to bring up when talking about sex whether we're having sex with our partner of 20 years in our bedroom or with a stranger in the bathroom of a club. can body centric apps be an avenue for sexual liberation? how is the prevalence of the "type" playing into all of this? i'm exploring all of this in this episode and i hope you enjoy. Safe Sex Is Hot Sex my friends!! if you have any thoughts of your own, i'd love to hear them! here's my email: presentinggenesis@gmail.com thank you for being here! i'm grateful to be here too :) Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/3WsJ9scsJkZhpJ3tBgZHTB), Substack (https://presentinggenesis.substack.com/), Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/presenting-genesis/id1649102099), Anchor (https://anchor.fm/presentinggenesis/support), TuneIn - all under Presenting...Genesis Links: Audre Lorde's Sister Outsider (https://archive.org/details/sisteroutsideres00lord/mode/1up) The Queer Space Studies Initiative - New York Piers Archives (https://www.queerspacestudies.com/new-york-piers) Safe Sex Is Hot Sex - photographs by Steven Meisel for Red Hot Organization (https://thefashionography.com/pride-2020/steven-meisel-aids-posters/) John Berger's Hold Everything Dear: Dispatches on Survival and Resistance (https://www.versobooks.com/books/2155-hold-everything-dear)

   Episode 15: The Resurgence of Funk and Disco

   Are you excited???? (Anxious, nervous, anticipatory??) Cause I am!!! Hello and welcome to Presenting…Genesis and thank you for witnessing my presentation and my coming out of my whale mode. I am talking these week about a prediction that I have for this year and the coming years: The Resurgence of Funk and Disco. And I’m taking this prediction very seriously. I don’t throw around prediction like it’s nothing. This is a Prophecy. A Vision. I don’t get these sorts of global prophecies very often, but this is one I’ve been getting since last fall, so I’m sharing it. I talk about slavery and AIDS here for a hot minute because it’s inextricable from these two genres so warning for that. And also warning for any of you Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris fans, I absolutely body them. Omg remember when they dated and their music slowly got worse?? Gisele Bundchen and Azaelia Banks have their grip on witch culture. I don’t get obsessed with many things, but I’m really into that. ANYwho… I hope you enjoy. Tell me what you think.

I'm only talking about 4 out of 7 this week because i didn't want to talk for an hour and a half. part two will come out soon. this was all spurred by a.) talking to my therapist and b.) reading Lacey Ramburger's short essay called "A List of Green Flags You Should Strive For". i hope you enjoy. maybe this will inspire you, who knows? thanks for being here :) i'm grateful that i get to be here too.

   Episode 13: The Art of Being Serious

   Happy New Year to those that celebrate the Gregorian calendar. 2023! And a big happy birthday to my fellow Capricorns who celebrate a birthday from the 24th to the 1st. I see you. This is coming out on Monday (I know). The future ones will be on Sunday, but I had to get my ritual on and get centered for the new year that I celebrate at my birthday, especially since it's so close to the end of the year. So I prioritized that! today, I am talking about the art of being serious. about contrivance. about the art of devotion and dedication. i have been thinking a lot about how i have so many hobbies, most of which are directly applicable to the things i want to do and succeed at in my life, but i've been trifling and joking around. i'm deciding to take my life and my crafts and the skills i am cultivating seriously. as usual with any talk about language, i'm talking definitions. i'm talking gratitude for years old conversations that continue to have an impact on me. i'm talking being young and being serious (and how weirdly controversial that can be). and about why we shouldn't internalize the limitations that others have for us. i am very happy to be alive and to be here and to be year older. i thank you! for being here too.

   Episode 12: I Make These Things Called Mistakes.

   hello hellooo. welcome to Presenting...Genesis where I present myself to you all and come out of my "whale mode" (or go further into it. who knows anymore.) i feel like it's really easy to come on the podcast and give advice and things to remember and anecdotes and what not and pretend like I have my shit together and that I know what I'm doing and that I'm in control. I am not. And this is me being very (too?) transparent about that fact. i'm being vulnerable here and talking about how really one of things I excel at is making mistakes. I make them every day. whether they're innocuous errors or grievous lapses in judgement, i never know if and/or how they're going to affect me longterm. but there is ALWAYS a lesson to be learned from those mistakes. at least i think so. i talk about drugs and NA/AA and Step 5 and eating disorders and family drama and almost car accidents and art and stealing and hard truths. if any of those things are something you cannot handle, then leave. take care of yourself. it's not offending me. come back to this when or if! you can. thank you for being here!! i'm so grateful to be here too ☆ For help on body dysmorphia and eating disorders for you or that friend you have (that might actually be you. i've been that friend for myself plenty of times) - 7 Ways to Help Someone With Body Dysmorphia (https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/mental-health/body-dysmorphic-disorder/how-to-help-someone-with-body-dysmorphia/) National Eating Disorders Assoc.

   Episode 11: What The Hell Is "Whale Mode"?

   hello hello. welcome back to my podcast where I present myself to you all and come out of my "whale mode" and today is the day. The day where I talk about what "whale mode" means to me is finally here. this is a very personal episode. i'm talking about the origin stories of a deeply personal lesson for me in self-recognition. you could liken it to step 5 of the AA/NA handbook in which i say fuck you to fear and step into the unknown of (over?)sharing on the internet. i'm talking bipolar disorder, its mania and depression. i'm talking going outside and seeing wild nature behavior which happens all of the time but i'm seeing with virgin eyes. i'm talking how beautifully related we are to other animals other than size. thank you for being here and for listening. i cannot express in words (not yet anyway) how very grateful i am to still be here too. (p.s. please keep praying for me if that's something you do for i am still sick but i have a sneaking suspicion that it's due to an unlearned lesson about being born in the late 90s hustle culture that has unsustainably developed even in long Covid and connecting my worth to how much i work. i'm working on it. maybe i'll make an episode about it.)

    Episode 10: The Idea of Deserving Love

    hello hello! welcome back to Presenting...Genesis where I present myself to you all, to the world, and I come out of my whale mode. I promise I’m going to make an episode about what the hell whale mode is, especially cause now I feel I’m actually coming out of it and entering this mode I call my “sun mode”. Anyway… this episode is about the idea of deserving love. I got the idea to do this episode through two quotes that I have known for a while “The idea of deserving love. And then watching love being given to people who did nothing to deserve it.” - Anaïs Nin AND “We accept the love we think we deserve.” - The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Stephen Chbosky I get into these quotes and tear them about and subsequently myself. Questions like: Why do we feel we need to deserve love? Why do I feel I need to deserve love? What does the love once gotten prove to me? What is this supposed love supposed to feel like? Is there always a better love? Is love hierarchical? Is love even something that can be deserved? And many, many more… If you enjoy this, let me know. Leave me a comment, share your thoughts. I want to hear from you if you want to share :) The cover I’m playing on the ukulele in the opener and the closer is Ooo by Karen O (https://open.spotify.com/track/7J0BfGbfBjr8FXgY7LzZpc?si=ec2725fb6d854cab).

    Episode 8: What Do Your Tattoos Mean?

    hello hello! welcome back to another episode of Presenting...Genesis. this week i'm talking about something kind of fun! as opposed to last week which was quite (literally) sober and serious. we're talking about tattoos. I have been getting tattoos since I was 19. To me, since I see them everyday, they are nothing to comment on. But this past week cooking with my family, they saw a tattoo of mine on my hand and immediately started bombarding me with questions: "When did you get that? Why did you get that? What does it mean? Did it hurt?" etc. I started thinking about the fact that I didn't really want to share, but it would seen as rude if I didn't, so I went against my feelings and I did. So this episode is about the gaze, the need for people to comment on our bodies, and why we don't have to answer questions about our bodies if we don't want to! Thank you for listening. I'm very thankful that you are here. And I am very happy to be here too.

    Episode 7: I Relapsed

    hello hello. this is an emotional episode. i’m gonna be talking about drug abuse and relapse, not in specifics, but i know very well how difficult of a subject that can be. so if this is not something you can deal with today, or maybe ever, i will see you next week. for those sticking around, welcome back to “Presenting…Genesis” where I *very slowly* come out of my “whale mode”. as you can tell by the title of today’s episode, i relapsed. i wasn’t sober for very long, 8 months, but even one day is amazing to me. for a while, even though i knew i had a problem, i didn’t go sober because i didn’t want to deal with having relapsed. but now that i have (and not for the first time) there are a lot of thoughts. although i'm not currently in any of the Anonymous rooms, i'm reflecting on the first two steps. click the links below to learn more about the 12 steps. this is all an improv. i didn’t write anything down before recording this episode so listen to Genesis uncut and go easy on me please. i am soft. especially now. if you want, you can find me on substack under Presenting…Genesis (https://presentinggenesis.substack.com/). this podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, TuneIn, and Substack. Give a review, send me an email (presentinggenesis@gmail.com), or write a comment. thank you for being here and i’m happy to be here too ⭒ Get Help Today: Call 866. 842.8161 to talk to the American Addiction Centers (https://alcohol.org/aac/) American Addiction Center 24/7 Text Support (https://alcohol.org/aac/admissions/team/text-support/) - if you want to talk to fellow addicts, i encourage you to look up NA or AA Zoom Meetings and you can choose whatever "Open" room you'd like. They'll ask who is here for the first time and you'll probably get an onslaught of phone numbers and support when you speak up.

    Episode 6: Baltimore...The Greatest City in America?

    hello hello! today i'm talking about Baltimore. Baltimore, Maryland, USA where the slogan is "The Greatest City in America". i was just home in Baltimore visiting my family on a rare weekend off from work and I realized I have A LOT of thoughts about Baltimore that i've never shared before. i'm taking you on a tour of my family history, the history of Baltimore (in short), and some of things I love and don't like about Baltimore. there's so much more to say about Bmore so one day I'll have to make a part two to this, but for now, this is what i got. so sit back, relax, and drink a Natty Boh (or don't) to this unedited episode of my dissection of Baltimore. thanks for being here. i'm happy to be here too.

    Episode 5: The Word "Excited"

    hello hello! i think a lot about how words once reframed can bring us joy and community, rather than loneliness and deeper self-understanding rather than assimilation and conformity. i recently read an entry on substack - which I just started --> Presenting...Genesis (https://presentinggenesis.substack.com/) anyway i read an entry by anecdotes, spirals, deconstruction, fever dreams called "grief is just love with no place to go" (https://selfportraits.substack.com/p/03-grief?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2) which i highly recommend. they reframe grief as love. i've done a lot of reframing of language in my years and I wanted to talk about some of what I've learned, specifically the word "excited". there are so many philosophers and filmmakers who talk about this kind of thing such as Walter Benjamin, Andrei Tarkovsky, bell hooks, Andy Warhol, Patricia Hill Collins, James Baldwin, Anaïs Nin, the list goes on. I highly recommend you check them out. Let's grow our vocabulary together :) I thank you for being here. I'm happy to be here too.

The genesis of Genesis if you will, the soft g of it all. It is very grounding to be starting, to be in the ing. I'm living up to my name. I'm a beginner in basically every aspect of my life. I'm understanding how beautiful and private this process of beginning in public is for me and I wanted to share what it's been like turning my dreams into reality without the want of public opinion. I'm fumbling, muddling through my explanation of it, but through it all, beginning is all about truth, trust, and belief. Thank you for being here! I'm happy to be here too.

    Episode 3: Everyone Is Fake...And Real

    Hello and welcome back to my podcast where I come out of my "whale mode" and present myself to you all. Last week, I touched on this idea, well reality, of the persona. Getting back into socializing, as well as starting a podcast and a Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF3K7yrrf3-f8Z73T7QEeRw (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF3K7yrrf3-f8Z73T7QEeRw)) I'm thinking a lot about how I want to show up on those platforms, how much or how little I want to share, what parts I want to give you all access to, as well as, how I used to portray myself, however "genuine" or "fake". And I'm coming to understand that no matter how I portray myself anywhere, in real life or online, someone from my past, present, and/or future might say that I am acting fake because who the parts I'm giving you all access to are not the same parts I give them access to. I've understood for a while that different people and situations bring out different parts of us and this week, I'm diving into that. So, go for a drive, fold your laundry, wash your dishes, lay down cause this is a long one. Thank you for listening! I'm happy to be here and I'm happy that you are here too. -Genesis

    Episode 2: Would It Be Weird If I Started Crying?

    Welcome back to Presenting... Genesis where I present myself to you all and come out of my "whale mode" (see the previous episode if you're confused). When I first moved to Durham, over a year ago, I immediately got a library card. I was in the adult non-fiction section and I came across this book about how to make adult friendships. I checked out the book, but I never read it. I thought I had made all the friendships that were really meaningful to me already. 1. arrogant much... 2. heavy, heavy dissociation. Upon further reflection, I should have read that book because boy was I wrong. Socializing is an art, an art I am very much a novice in. So, as always, sit back, relax, and listen to a beginner trying.

    Episode 1: The Sober Bipolar

    hello hello! let's get this party started. for those who don't know me, my name is genesis and I am very happy to be here. i've always been told I had a voice for radio and my teachers told me constantly to be quiet, so I'm making a podcast where I talk to the air for many minutes. i'm being vulnerable in this first episode and presenting my brain to you all. i'm talking having bipolar; i'm talking being sober; i'm talking this weird fleabag trend that y'all should maybe rethink. so, sit back, relax, and listen to a beginner trying. you can also watch instead of listen if you want to see my face :) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF3K7yrrf3-f8Z73T7QEeRw
