In Hines Sight

From broken moments to shared experiences, ends and beginnings of relationships, my first-ever international solo trip, a closing of a lawsuit, waiting on a grad school application…… this is 32.

After being on hiatus with the podcast, I’m coming back “Ryan Emerged.” And I’m taking a lesson from my original Cali Soundtrack with a mixed tape approach.

I invite you to listen to this podcast first, then check out the accompanyi...

There are four sandwiches total, and three of them were evenly divided among n students, but four students didn't want any of the fourth sandwich. But you know Carol. She came along and wanted a bit from all four. So what fraction did Carol eat of a whole sandwich?

IDK, Carol -- just keep livin' your best carb life and let me do ANYTHING else.

That's how I felt Sunday night. I'm at the intersec...

I'm going solo for this episode. Tim to chat about Both/And thinking - a mindset I've been developing these last few weeks in particular. I'm learning that "wholeness is about embracing, not denying, all of our feelings," as Michelle L Buck Ph.D. wrote; multiple feelings can exist at the same time, even if they feel incongruous or contradictory.

I dare you to challenge yourself how you can shift yo...

We make fun of the word unprecedented and how overused it's felt as a way to describe 2020. But for real, 2020 had its challenges for everyone.

With my friend Thomas Renner -- a yoga instructor and life coach based in Dallas -- we take a moment to reflect on 2020, share gratitude for positive reflections we gained from this past year, and discuss setting and maintaining resolutions for 2021.

Maybe you'r...

Let’s talk about our status. And I’m not talking single, taken, or it’s complicated. I’m talking about HIV status. Because when we arm ourselves with information and know more about our personal health, we can make fact-based decisions for ourselves and those we interact with.

In hindsight, Ryan didn’t know a thing about HIV and AIDS, until he found the community of AIDS/LifeCycle. In this episode, you’ll hear from AIDS/LifeCycle Ri...

A fake laugh to get the perfect candid smile? Yeah, of course. How else do you think I got the photo for this podcast album art?

From the rise of social media and how it's permeated every aspect of our lives, Ryan invites Liz Navarro onto the pod to discuss how we consume social media and some of the emotions and psychology behind what we post.

Liz is the founder of Liz Navarro + Co., helping clients and stud...

Ryan welcomes back Eddie Kring from Save.LGBT, and is also joined by Save.LGBT's Executive Director Orlando Gonzales. It felt like a long week leading up to the time of this recording, and Biden had not yet been declared winner of the 2020 U.S. Presidential elections.

However, the conversation we focus on is timeless. We discuss healing and how we as a nation can move forward with healthy, constructive conversation. A...

In this followup to my last episode - which was a very short seven minutes - I dive deeper on the conversation about politics. With my friend and special guest Eddie Martí Kring joining, we talk about how it's much more than politics; it's about choosing to show up for love, and choosing to protect our human rights.

Eddie and I met a few years ago at the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Time to Thrive conference. I wa...

Unlike the past two episodes, I take this one solo. Growing up, I hadn't been involved in politics. Give this super short episode a listen to hear what I would now tell my 18-year-old self (in hindsight, pun intended), and three actions I urge everyone to take right now.

And most importantly, vote! Go to www.vote.gov.

Is Jesus the only path for a queer person to get to Heaven? Do churches fall on a spectrum kind of like the spectrum of sexual orientation? How can someone who's been wounded by the church find healing?

These are some the topics brought up when Ryan interviews Dr. Cindy Ryan in this episode of the Identity Series.

Dr. Cindy Ryan, who has a passion for connecting people to God through writing, speaking and min...

It’s time to paddle out, because in this episode of the Identity Series we explore the intersection where surfer meets LGBTQ+. Rich Overgaard, owner of @surfergays on Instagram, examines his identity as a newer surfer. Marta Dallas Chiesa, co-owner of Gay Surf Brazil – a weeklong retreat that connects LGBTQ+ people and allies for surfing in Brazil – discusses the importance and opportunities of safe travel for queer people. 

And my ...

Years in the making, I finally started it: the girl in a red body suit, getting extra credit when I definitely didn’t need it, and a drag name inspired by cheese crumbles at brunch.

My first podcast episode, it may be a little all over the place. But thanks to a push by my boyfriend Kris, I got the nerve to record, edit, and publish this episode — the first for my “In Hines Sight” podcast.
