Pushen Boundaries - Episodes

A weekly show for listeners to hear stories and conversations that allow us to explore subtle events and interesting social interactions too often ignored. These stories are meant to arouse the emotions of listeners towards self-improvement and consider how our behaviors impact others. There have been many moments in my life where I have wanted to share interesting stories that can be used by others to improve their own lives. With 22 years of educating youth and adults, I would like to share topics with you that will push against social norms and shift your mindset to consider alternative views. Sometimes, the best advice can be collected from the stories of others.

Episodes

Gender Bullies

November 14, 2019 • 48 mins
Some may find this hard to believe, but men are bullied too. These behaviors against men go unchecked and have not been addressed. Men and their silence. Are we able to say, "I had enough!" instead of internalizing our feelings. How do we have a voice? How do we disagree with women? How can we release frustration within the current social constraints placed on men today?

Soccer Queen - Implicit Bias

November 17, 2019 • 18 mins
A peek into the windows of our homes is often displayed in the behaviors of very young children. In their innocence, they will repeat the conversations of parents without a filter. Their voices can offer an honest account of our strange behaviors. How soon can implicit biases influence children? How can adults positively influence the beliefs of their children?

December 15, 2019 • 24 mins

Internet Censorship

January 23, 2020 • 43 mins
How much choice do we have in the information available to us on the internet? Are we simply following the leader without looking for other views?
