Schauer Thoughts
Left and right brainers are often pitted against each other but here they’ll be given the time and space to collaborate. So strip away the day and step into the steam, it’s time to open up your pores and perspectives for a truly immersive, imaginative, and information-rich experience that’ll leave you refreshed and ready for whatever life throws at you next. Welcome to Schauer Thoughts, hosted by comedian and student-of-the-world Sarah Schauer!

Howdy y’all! This week we’re starting to build some self-trust and next week we’ll be establishing trust with others. Like always, we will be taking the long way around the subject, going full third person, but that is necessary to survey the land (self) we are working on. Hopefully a little outdoor Schauer will loosen up the soil and make your excavating a bit easier.

I told y’all that we were keeping it moving! This week we’re going over how the brain indexes abstract thought, how emotions are expressed across cultures, and the self-fulfilling prophecy of gender. Please excuse the tangents this week, Rite Aid closed and I am without Vyvanse. That being said, very happy to have you in this week’s communal Schauer!

Well you heard it here folks, we’re decentering gender this week in the communal shower. What does it mean to decenter? What is gender? Are pronouns “real?” Sit back, relax, and enjoy the musings of a single, 30 year old, childless lesbian.

This week we’ll be explaining some common brain myths that keep popping up in movies and online!

Hannah Montana was correct when she said “nobody’s perfect,” so please, please, start to forgive yourself more often and watch the first part of this two part series so you don’t miss anything. As always, please feel free to run this by a therapist - especially the exercise, expert advice and insight is always necessary and appreciated. Hope you leave this episode feeling extra refreshed, maybe even a bit lighter, you deserve it.

This week we’re tackling the “male loneliness epidemic!” From men’s first widespread tango with mental health to the socialization and neural pathways that got them there, no corner of our kooky brains will go unchecked. So strip down, mull around, and join us in the communal lavatory for some Schauer Thoughts.

Yes, trauma can be funny and “make” us funny to some degree! Sure! But here on Schauer Thoughts, a podcast for left and right brainers, we simply must explore the psychological crevices. Hopefully we can all laugh about this later and enjoy the endorphin rush.

Okay final part in my series on the demonization of play and the exaltation of work, thank you so much for listening and learning. Also, you do not have to memorize, understand, or accept this immediately. Capitalism has taught you that your worth is tied to your work and that you are a tool and that is fundamentally incorrect, it is a lie.

Got a little side tracked (but not really) on our discussion of the demonization of play and the exaltation of labor, but most morality is rooted in disgust so good, evil, disgusting, compelling, you get it.

Well it’s looking like another two parter! This week on Schauer Thoughts: the demonization, moralization, and general uncertainty around play and pleasure. So let’s slip into our skin suits and crank up the heat, we’ve got a lot of internalized beliefs about work to scrub raw from our left and right hemispheres, might have to even get in the crack.
