Bevin: A Femme Over 40 and her Friends

Beauty is how we decorate our time and space! I've been working in the activist realm redefining beauty standards for 23 years and in two decades many things have shifted and some have alarmingly worsened.

The cosmetic, weight loss and surgery industries rely on our feeling "less than" and chasing unachievable standards to make billions annually. Reflecting on the shifts we've made, share my perspective on how to live beautifully a...

Lauren Morgan has been teaching me dreamtending for seven months and the quality of information I'm getting from and able to use from my dreams has increased a thousandfold. Beyond dream interpretation it’s learning the wisdom our dreams are teaching us. She is a font of information about the plant world around us and helps make the gifts of Mother Earth more accessible. She has an incredible book called Seasonal Herbalism, a p...

I had the opportunity to go on my first cruise and it surprised me! I had a lot of preconceived ideas about cruising. I'm grateful I was willing to be open minded and try it out! I had such a wonderful time and had a great time recounting them in this episode! Enjoy our visit in the woods and check out my you tube Cruise Vlog playlist as I roll out the content I filmed while on my adventure with Rachael!

The more years I experience, the more healing I do, the less I feel the need to be right or defend myself. I used to be SO defensive that any kind of criticism or loving concern came across as threatening and would shut me down or rile me up.
Our spirit knows mistakes are part of life & will readily say I’m sorry but the ego gets so caught up in defending mistakes it ignores the impact it has on others.
This episode I r...

Internet sensation, author and fellow advocate for self-kindness Jeffrey Marsh joins me to talk about making difficult choices to prioritize our peace! Sometimes the most loving thing we can do for ourselves is to choose to go no contact with family. We discuss the new frontier of social media, the distinction between being kind and being "nice" and attention as a human need. If releasing shame is on your personal growth agenda, kn...

A.P. Looze is a human love letter to a life lived queerly. A performance artist, photographer, textile artist, vexillographer, Akashic records practitioner and so much more… A.P. contains multitudes. Their coming out story is hilarious!

We talk about what it means to embody queerness, how getting rooted in our queer lineages is so vital to the experience. How we center love in our movements. The opening about experiencing light and...

Community means you keep showing up! I am feeling very blessed and enriched by my in person and online communities right now. In these times having community is so vital to getting our needs and resources met. Belonging is an actual human need--I talk about how to bring your own safe place to community, how to develop it, the importance of vulnerability and tips for facilitating community.

I also talk about focusing on where ...

Koi is a queer friendly event producer and his (currently in New Mexico but will travel with him) event Pandemonium is linked b...

We've talked about morning routines (ep 103) and figuring out our values (ep 111) but here I propose less than ten minutes, thrice daily for your optimal peace! I talk about my experience having an intentional routine three times a day and what you could do to brainstorm what your path to peace could be like.

Especially. helpful this time of year because in the Northern Hemisphere this is a great time to strategize and lay down f...

Listener question! Do I ever watch old vlogs and videos? How do I feel after having left the hustle bustle of Los Angeles? Following up on Episode 2 about my Gay Divorce and the healing of that heartbreak.

Here's the performance art piece I created about Mariah Carey and Activism on the occasion of the inauguration in 2017, which feels relevant to these times: https://youtu.be/dXPZFjxGMWI

Are the ten core principles of Burning Man an example of how we can create an interdependent society and bring out the best in one another? I immersed myself for the first time in their culture for four days at the Alchemy Burn near Atlanta, GA and I radically received! The feeling of personal freedom is contagious and I had a great time at this fire festival right below the full moon and Jupiter. Thanks to my bestie Rachael for ge...

This is a FUN episode! Join us for this long form conversation! (When we finished I cou...

"Living authentically is the key that unlocks the door to life!" Dylan returns to the podcast and we talk all things transition, transformation and self trust. Releasing fundamentalism and the wedge to trusting self and your connection to God. Living in integrity through listening to that still, small voice and following our purpose.

Previous episode with Dylan: Episode 51 https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/1s4Q9T...

I'm hearing propaganda that being queer or trans is being "pushed" onto kids. There's an important distinction between having information about actual human diversity available to people and pushing people into making decisions about a very fluid experience.

Queer and trans people have existed since people have existed, natural human diversity is more fluid and spectrum than white supremacy culture's bin...

Can you believe it before you see it? Listener question about how I walk with faith and trust in God. (The Goddess, the Universe, Spirit, a life force greater than myself, etc...) I talk a lot about faith in dreams and visions for your life with a brief visualization exercise towards the end to help orient you towards your dreams!

Join us on the virtual porch as we chat faith!

As with all spiritual content on my podcast ...
