What's Normal with Gabriel Sanders

About What's Normal with Gabriel Sanders

Hello, I am Gabriel Sanders, and I believe that there is no "normal". Every person has a story, which is their normal, and which I find fascinating. I hope you will too. On my podcast, I have conversations with people about their "normal" lives, their "normal" journeys, occupations, lifestyles, and more... and what "normal" means to them. Enjoy, and thank you for listening.

   Everything is Connected

   Ever feel like you're living in one square inch of reality and calling it reality? Well, the fascinating Dr. Betty Kovacs has. I had the great privilege to talk her about life, death, religion, and everything in between on all dimensions of reality. Ever since she was child, learning about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Dr. Kovacs started asking the big question of "WHY?" Her normal has always been trying to find ways to break out of the norm, step outside of it, and find something beyond that, because that is the nature of all of our creativity. We get into her studies of symbolic and mythic languages, how religion has influenced our way of life, how the pandemic is an example of the decay and destruction of the heart consciousness in western culture, quantum physics, essentially trying to answer the big questions of life and human existence, and so much more. We also dig into the amazing connections between the deaths of three people closest to Dr. Kovacs: her mother, husband, and son. Dr. Kovacs earned her doctorate from the University of California, Irvine, in Comparative Literature and Theory of Symbolic/Mythic Language.  She taught Literature, Writing, and Symbolic/Mythic Language for twenty-five years.  She served many years as Chair and Program Chair on the Board of Directors of the Jung Society of Claremont in California and sits on the Academic Advisory Board of Forever Family Foundation.  Dr. Kovacs is author of Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing the World, winner of the Nautilus Silver Book Award and the Scientific & Medical Network 2019 Book Prize.  She has also written The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life. Dance life in snake boots! Leave each moment fully, then let it go. Enjoy, and thank you for listening.

   Celebrating the Weirdness

   A great title for this fun talk with Rena Strober. “Celebrating the Weirdness” exemplifies not only Rena’s normal and how she raises her daughter, but how being weird is not being boring, and it's how to celebrate what's different. Rena says she can respect those that are "normal" but that's "just not how she was made." To her, every day is an adventure. Rena Strober is multi-talented. She is the co-producer, creator, and performer of the Sesame Street album "Imagine That!" She works with "Dotz" the blind children's choir, a voice actor, she was on the Broadway tour of "Les Miserables" (and knows another guest of the podcast), played the Witch in "Into the Woods" at the Charlottesville Opera House, was in the original LA cast of "Reefer Madness," featured in HBO's "Veep," the Disney Channel's "Liv and Maddie", performed on the dais at The Friar's Roast and on home plate at Shea Stadium, and so much more.  We get into classic Nickelodeon, a side story about Marc Summers of "Double Dare" fame, my connection to Ben & Jerry, our love for Mel Brooks and if he was indeed in "The Muppet Movie," and the amazing fact that her house is a pop culture museum. We also get into her association with a famous murder in a NYC Italian restaurant, which was made into an episode for the OG "Law & Order," and Rena shares her feelings about fact vs fiction. Rena co-wrote and performed in her own musical "Spaghetti and Matzo Balls" which was based on that experience. Order a "half double-decaffeinated half-caf... with a twist of lemon," dive in to this great talk, and celebrate weirdness with us! Be sure to check out her music video for "Imagine That!" on YouTube, and you can buy the album on her website: renastrober.com! You must also watch this promo video for "Imagine That" (https://www.renastrober.com/imagine-that-a-childrens-album/).... You will LOVE this album. Mentions: Academy of Music for the Blind (http://ouramb.org/) Guide Dogs of America (https://www.guidedogsofamerica.org/) "Law & Order: Organized Crime" (https://www.nbc.com/) Thank you for listening. 😁❤️🎤🤪😷🎧 Facebook: @whatsnormalwithgabrielsanders Twitter: @wnwgspodcast Insta: @wnwgspodcast Email: emailwnwgs@gmail.com + Podcast artwork created by the amazing Dan Meth.
