The People Scare Me Podcast

Hey! You made it to the last episode of the Cartoon Critique Corner, talking about the memorable Penny Proud. I LOVED watching the Proud Family on Disney Channel because it reflected the different and relatable aspects of the Black family household as well as breaking stereotypes, while at the same time, being entertaining! Twitter: @Cutieartist92

In this special episode, I talk about and explore the somewhat overlooked topic of drug abuse: how it affects the person with the addiction as well as how it affects the people who are connected to them. By having more discussions and learning more about it, drug addiction can be taken more seriously as we stray away from stereotypes/stigmas. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

There's always that one character who no one listens to despite their level of knowledge and urgency in their message. His peers call him a crazy conspiracy theorist, but this 12 year old never gave up on unveiling the truth about a certain little alien! Twitter: @Cutieartist92

This is Part II of my book review of "Parable of the Talents" by Octavia E. Butler. Stick around to listen to my overall score! As always, thanks for listening. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Welcome to the People Scare Me Podcast's first ever book review! For the last three months, I've had the pleasure of reading "Parable of the Talents", written by Octavia E. Butler. I was so excited to read this novel along with her preceding novel, "Parable of the Sower". This review will be broken up into two parts. So much to cover in so little time! Let's see if I can take on this wonderful challenge. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Sometimes, the most quiet person in the group can be the most powerful. There is no bravery without fear, after all. This episode taps into a certain red-headed toddler who is known for being a highly supportive friend despite his "scaredy-cat" tendencies. Let's talk about it!

Jibber jabber about self esteem, daily routines, and learning how to let go and move forward from certain things. Thanks for listening. I hope y'all are taking care of yourselves as well.

If you are a fellow 90's baby, OR a millennial in general, you probably remember a certain "football" head who had a heart of gold, and assisted anyone in need within his unique community. So, without further ado, let's get into this nostalgic character critique. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Have you ever looked up to someone who you thought was so cool and confident with themselves? Well, as it turns out, even the strongest heroes have their flaws and shortcomings. However, this particular hero can teach us a thing or two about how to truly thrive in our self-love journey. Stay tuned! Twitter: @Cutieartist92

**WARNING: This episode discusses psychological conditions such as personality disorder, and narcissism. Please do not listen if you are sensitive about this particular topic ** This little boy from a Colorado mountain town isn't your typical Dennis the Menace, or Bart Simpson for that matter. He is probably considered the worst animated child in cartoon history! At least in MY book, he is. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

We all have a grumpy Squidward inside of us sometimes; Trust me; if you hate your job, can't stand your neighbors, and think everyone around you are a bunch of morons, you are officially channeling your 'inner Squidward'. So let us begin to flesh out this character tentacle by tentacle. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Have you ever felt like you were born on the wrong planet? Or maybe that you would never belong anywhere no matter how hard you tried to fit in? Well you are definitely not alone. Today, we explore a very unique, out of this world character; and no, I don't mean Stitch. I'm talking about his Earthly bestie, Lilo! Sometimes, it takes meeting another alien to finally feel like you belong. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

Now, I know that I can't change how men think. But I can challenge you by asking: How many women in your lifetime have you shamed based on your EXACT SAME behaviors (sexually, socially, professionally, etc.)?

Today, I'm diving into discussing one of my favorite nerdy characters who I grew up watching as an adolescent back in the day. Almost every group dynamic in a show has to have "the smart guy", and that smart guy is Double-D from Ed, Edd, and Eddy! He's also one of my cartoon crushes. Does that sound weird? Maybe. Don't judge me, ok. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

That Tina is an odd one, isn't she? So many socially awkward moments, so little time. In honor of Dave Creek's passing (Lead Character Designer of "Bob's Burgers"), we are going to explore the many quirks and layers of my spirit-character, Tina Belcher. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

"Whose leg do I have to hump to get a dry Martini around here?" Yup. You guessed it: Brian Griffin from "Family Guy". For a few reasons, Brian started off as such a likeable character from the first few seasons. Then down the road, he just became more .... well, I'll speak of it more in this episode's character break-down. Twitter: @Cutieartist92

In this first episode of the Cartoon Critique Corner, we are analyzing Marge Simpson from "The Simpsons" (voiced by Julie Kavner). Marge is well known for depicting the classic American house-wife. However, there are special aspects about her upbringing and development as a character that has proven time and time again that she is much more than what is viewed on the surface. And plus, who can forget about that tall, blue bee-hive hairstyle? Twitter: @Cutieartist92 (Rose)

Greetings, folks! Here we go again with another season of The "People Scare Me Podcast" .... but with a twist! In this new season, we are going to explore and critique some interesting characters in the animated world; analyzing their character development, personality traits, visual design, and more! Cheers to a new year and a new season of content! Twitter: @Cutieartist92 (Rose)

What does privilege mean to you? Maybe, without realizing it, you TOO may have been provided certain gifts or opportunities that allowed you to have privilege. Sometimes, it can make you feel guilty receiving those certain privileges when there are others who don't have them. Here's my take on the topic. Tune in and stay safe out there!

Tune in to some of my personal unpopular opinions on some stuff. Also, there is a special announcement about a project that I've published and now selling to the public! Instagram: @rosemc15 Twitter: @RoseMCockerham

It's been a while, folks, but I'm back with my thoughts on the "C" word. Of course, we are aware of all of the changes that this pandemic has caused us to make, but I have faith that we will prosper. We just need to stay in doors as much as possible, wash our hands, and (my favorite), social distancing. And stop taking everything off the shelves!

Sometimes, fear can help us avoid danger, but other times, it can paralyze us so much that it deters us from reaching our goals. What are some of your fears? Where do they come from? And how can we conquer our personal fears? Let's dive in to the unknown!

I. AM. SICK. of cheating songs! It's sad that we live in an era of culture where something like infidelity is being celebrated; having no empathy or love in your heart is cool; and stealing someone's man/woman is "fun". Why do people cheat anyway? Let's find out while I rant...

** Please excuse the audio malfunction within this episode ** Not really an ACTUAL episode, but more like a mental release for myself as well as a personal check-in for any listeners. This past week has been pretty rough in terms of dealing with negative thoughts and low self-esteem. Hopefully, things will get better down the road. Thanks for listening.

Oh no! It's the most dreaded day for a single introvert: Valentine's Day! Well, it doesn't have to be ALL bad. In this episode, I give you some tips on how to not only cope, but also celebrate V-Day in your own special way. So do yourself a favor and BE YOUR OWN TRUE LOVE!.... and spread more love to friends and family. Psychology of Love: www.newsrecord.org Philosophical Questions: www.conversationstartersworld.com

In my opinion, there is a clear difference between thinking realistically or critically and thinking purely negative. But why do so many people confuse the two mindsets? And what does it REALLY mean to be a negative person?

Welcome to the FIRST official episode of SEASON 2 of The "People Scare Me" Podcast. Why do we always compare ourselves to others? It's time to learn different ways to NOT keep up with the Jones's and focus on watering our OWN garden. I'm also going to include the Psycho Fact of the Day, as well as ask a philosophical question near the end of each episode.

Hey everybody, let's start the new year off right by launching Season 2 of The People Scare Me Podcast! I can't wait to bring up new topics, ask new questions, and get everyone thinking about their own personal growth in mental health, self care, and self love.

2019 had tons of lessons, tragedies, triumphs, and memes. . . lots and lots of memes. This is the last episode of the year 2019 into 2020 before I go into my hiatus where I continue to hide under my little rock of comfort. I reflect on what 2019 has given me/us in terms of news, entertainment, and changes in my personal life. Hopefully, 2020 will actually be worth looking forward to, and I wish all of you Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
