   S2 Ep01 - The Effort of Self Awareness with David Foster Wallace

   We’re back, baby. Season 2 launching here with some timely and timeless mental perspectives from David Foster Wallace. Nothing short of how to survive modern human life with some explorations of the effort required to consciously guide your attention to break your first person perspective. “The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day."

    S1 Ep01 - Confessions of an Itchoholic

    Shedding Skin - Confessions of an Itchoholic, Episode 1 (out of 10) - Nature . Shedding Skin - Confessions of an Itchoholic is my memoir of growing up with a body that was not east to inhabit. It will be released 1 episode / chapter each week for a few months. Citing neuroscientists, philosophers and modern-day poets (ie rockstars) and exploring the 90s popular culture that shaped me (its music, movies and video games), Shedding Skin is a rollicking, humorous ride of self-analysis about the confusion and alienation of growing up with chronic health battles, the disorientating effects of coping mechanisms (like alcohol and drug dependencies), and eventual flailing attempts to understand how to live a deep life whilst struggling with new parenthood. Shedding Skin was long listed for the Richell Prize for emerging writers in 2023 .

This is a little 10 min intro ep with too many 90s movie quotes and an explainer of what this podcast is. The plan is to release the 1st season of content episodes over the next few months, which will be 10 or 11 episodes of my audio memoir Shedding Skin - Confessions of an Itcholic. I’m also going to be doing some interview episodes on topics like mental health, addiction, psychedelics and parenting amongst other things. I have links and references for the content I use in this episode below, and here is a link (https://sheddingskin.substack.com/p/shedding-podcast-music-references) to the references for the SheddingPod music intro and the content I used for that.
