Performative

This special episode weaves together the experiences of five queer artists who've navigated the exhausting terrain between authentic self and performed safety. From Matt Fishel's childhood joy being "bullied out" of him to Blake Mundell's voluntary enrollment in conversion therapy, these stories map the psychological geography of concealment.Each artist reveals how constant self-monitoring becomes second nature - whether it's Ty McKinnie learning not to talk with his hands or Vincent di Geronimo facing daily violence in small-town Connecticut. Yet these aren't simply survival stories. They're testimonies to the peculiar alchemy that transforms hidden pain into visible art, showing how queer resilience isn't about overcoming but about finding unexpected pathways through.Timestamped Takeaways[00:01:33] Childhood transformation: Matt Fishel recalls when joy turned to vigilance at age 11[00:02:56] Geographic isolation: Vincent di Geronimo's move from NYC to Connecticut brings immediate violence[00:05:37] Performative masculinity: Blake Mundell maintains image through sports and "manly" activities[00:06:44] Accidental outing: Aruan's preference for Wham! over Madness exposes him in classroom[00:10:57] Physical withdrawal: Matt Fishel becomes recluse after serious beating in Nottingham[00:11:57] Conversion therapy: Blake voluntarily enrolls seeking to eliminate "sinful desires"[00:13:42] Suicide attempt: Blake's confidential letter to pastor gets weaponised by church[00:19:06] Classroom cruelty: Vincent faces normalised homophobia in maths class[00:20:15] Body language policing: Ty McKinnie's father forbids talking with hands[00:21:43] Unexpected liberation: Blake finds freedom through telling friend's story[00:24:23] Musical salvation: Aruan discovers community through Prince and Bowie[00:26:37] Industry rejection: Matt Fishel told by labels to "cut the gay content"Guest BioThis special episode features five remarkable artists from the podcast's first season in 2021: UK-based Matt Fishel and Aruan, alongside US artists Vincent di Geronimo, Blake Mundell (performing as Courier), and Ty McKinnie.

Why do we follow orders or go along with things that feel wrong? Why might defiance be better than compliance? And how can we go about becoming more defiant?Episode SummaryI've always been fascinated by why people obey, even when it clashes with their instincts or values. In this conversation, I'm joined by Dr Sunita Sah — a physician-turned-organisational psychologist whose work explores the hidden social, cultural, and psychological forces behind compliance. Drawing from her research and personal journey, Sunita reframes defiance as alignment with our true values, not reckless rebellion. We unpack concepts like “insinuation anxiety” — the discomfort of signalling someone else might be wrong — and explore her five-stage model of defiance, from recognising tension to taking decisive action. Sunita explains why compliance is often mistaken for consent, why both have distinct definitions, and why many of us have never practised saying “no” skillfully. Along the way, she shares vivid examples from medicine, aviation, parenting, and history, including the calculated defiance of Rosa Parks. For leaders, Sunita offers a challenge: create environments where dissent is safe and effective, and treat defiance as valuable feedback. For all of us, she suggests starting small — practising low-stakes resistance to build our “defiance muscle.” Whether you're a rule-maker, rule-follower, or both, this episode invites you to rethink the stories you tell yourself about compliance, and to see saying “no” as a powerful tool for living with integrity. Guest Bio Self-Description:Dr Sunita Sah is a physician-turned-organisational psychologist and Professor of Management Studies at Cornell University. Her research examines the social, organisational, and psychological forces that influence decision-making, particularly in contexts involving authority, conflicts of interest, and ethical dilemmas. She is the author of Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes (US title: Defy: How to Speak Up When It Matters), a book that reframes defiance as a vital life skill. AI-Generated Timestamped Summary [00:00:00] Opening & why we obey even when it feels wrong[00:02:00] Sunita's career journey: medicine to organisational psychology[00:05:00] Personal experiences shaping her research[00:07:00] Redefining compliance vs. consent[00:10:00] The five elements of informed consent[00:11:00] Introducing “insinuation anxiety”[00:14:00] High-stakes and low-stakes examples of silence[00:18:00] Why people resist defiance — lack of skill and practice[00:20:00] New definition of defiance as value alignment[00:23:00] Tension as the first stage of defiance[00:25:00] Stage 3: asking clarification questions[00:27:00] Scripts for skilful defiance[00:30:00] Practising in low-stakes situations[00:33:00] Speaking up for others vs. for oneself[00:36:00] Defiance as a skill, not a personality[00:38:00] Calculating safety and effectiveness of defiance[00:41:00] Costs of compliance vs. costs of defiance[00:44:00] Clarifying values to lower stress and improve integrity[00:46:00] Leadership responsibility for safe dissent[00:48:00] Performative vs. genuine speak-up systems[00:50:00] Defiance as contagious behaviour[00:52:00] The role of mischief and playful resistance[00:56:00] Saying yes when the world expects no[00:58:00] Advice for compliance officers and leaders[01:00:00] Upcoming courses on defiance and decision-makingLinksSunita's website: https://www.sunitasah.comDefy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes — https://www.sunitasah.com/defySunita's Cornell University faculty profile — https://www.johnson.cornell.edu/faculty-research/faculty/sunitasah/

Faith ReframedCultural Christianity vs. Christ-Centered Faith: Where the Divide BeginsToday we're diving into a conversation that needs to happen:Cultural Christianity versus Intentional, Christ-centered living.And what happens when that difference begins to shape how we, as Christians, respond to real-world issues like feminism, church hurt, and patriarchy.What is Cultural Christianity?So let's start with definitions. Cultural Christianity is less about Jesus and more about identity.It's Christianity as a label — a default setting — rather than a lived-out, surrendered faith.You see it when someone says they're Christian because:They grew up in a “Christian home.”They go to church on Easter and Christmas.Or… they equate Christianity with being a “good person” or “moral citizen.”But here's the thing — Jesus never invited people to identify with Him in name only. He called them to follow Him. Daily. Sacrificially. Personally.In contrast, Intentional Christianity is about that personal, ongoing commitment to Jesus — loving Him with your heart, soul, mind, and strength. It's not performative. It's not inherited. It's not political.It's relational. It's transformational.How Cultural Christianity Distorts Social EngagementSo why does this matter?Because Cultural Christianity distorts how we engage with the world — and often leaves deep wounds in its wake.Let's talk about feminism, for example.Feminism and the ChurchCultural Christianity often adopts traditionalism in the name of "biblical values" without really engaging Scripture holistically.That's where you get ideas like:“Women should stay silent.”“Leadership is for men only.”Or worse — a tolerance for abuse under the guise of submission.That's not gospel. That's patriarchy dressed in Christian language.Intentional Christianity — rooted in the life of Jesus — looks radically different. Jesus:Defended women in public.Gave them dignity, voice, and value in a culture that silenced them.Made women the first witnesses to the resurrection.Feminism, at its core, is about equality, dignity, and agency — things Jesus modeled long before the word “feminism” existed.Church Hurt and the Real Impact of Inauthentic FaithAnother area impacted by this divide is church hurt.And let's be honest — many people have walked away from the Church not because of Jesus……but because of Christians who never truly followed Him.Cultural Christianity can build toxic systems — ones that prioritize image, power, and control over repentance, healing, and community.That's where you see:Abuse swept under the rug.Performative spirituality.Gatekeeping instead of grace.Intentional Christianity, on the other hand, calls us to accountability. It confesses sin. It listens when someone says, “I was hurt.” It doesn't shame victims; it seeks justice.The Patriarchy ProblemLet's zoom in on patriarchy for a moment.Cultural Christianity often defaults to patriarchal systems, not because Scripture demands it, but because culture — historically and socially — has normalized it.And when you're more invested in preserving a system than reflecting Christ, you end up defending oppression as “God's design.”But here's what Intentional Christianity does:It asks, “What did Jesus model?”It values servant leadership, not dominance.It honors mutual submission, not hierarchy-for-control.It doesn't just ask, “Is this biblical?”It also asks, “Is this Christlike?”And that distinction matters.The Call to Authentic DiscipleshipSo what do we do with all this?The call is simple but costly:Trade in Cultural Christianity for the real thing.Jesus never said, “Identify with Me.”He said, “Follow Me.”

Forrest and Dr. Rick discuss what's really wrong with the self-help industry, going beyond the obvious pseudoscience and snake oil to examine deeper structural issues. They explore the industry's mixed-bag focus on individual responsibility, the risks of turning healing into a never-ending project, performative personal growth, narcissism, social media and capitalism, and honest striving vs. hustle culture. They also talk about their personal experiences navigating our relationship to the industry.

In this solo firestarter, Dani dives deep into the linguistic traps and weaponized narratives shaping our world—from activist orthodoxy to AI-generated propaganda.She unpacks how binary thinking, “I am” language, and identity-based scripts keep us small, sick, and compliant.
She calls out the cultural pressure to conform to pre-approved scripts, and how large language models (like ChatGPT) are being programmed to editorialize our reality while pretending to be neutral.This episode is a wake-up call for anyone ready to unhook from narrative control and reclaim their voice, their mind, and their healing.Watch on Odysee + Progressive Radio NetworkPart 2:danikatz.locals.comwww.patreon.com/danikatzAll things Dani, including books, courses, coaching + consulting:www.danikatz.comPlus, schwag:danikatz.threadless.comShow notes:• The problem with activist absolutism and binary thinking• How false dichotomies hijack history and fracture communities• Language as the original source code of our reality• The spiritual + psychological impact of “I am” statements• Why identifying with diagnoses and traumas limits transformation• The predictive programming baked into AI language models• How ChatGPT subtly editorializes truth, tone, and intent• The algorithmic rewards of outrage and performative morality• The sovereign alternative: conscious, precise, possibility-oriented speech• Why nuance is resistance—and language is liberation

Performative Expectations vs. Honoring Your Neurodivergent (AuDHD) Needs     In this conversation, Patricia discusses the challenges of navigating personal truths, autonomy, and performative expectations, particularly as an AuDHDer. Patricia reflects on her struggles with body image, the importance of self-trust, the need for autonomy (PDA), honoring her needs as a neurodivergent human, and prioritizing her comfort. She also addresses social anxiety, the joy of spontaneity, and the balance between assertiveness and sensitivity in relationships. Ultimately, Patricia emphasizes personal growth and the acceptance of one's unique identity through the planning and execution of her son's wedding.   HIGHLIGHTS   ·       Navigating personal truths is essential for autonomy, and working with PDA (pervasive or persistent drive for autonomy) ·       Performative expectations can override the needs of the human. ·       Body image issues are apt to come up when asked to wear clothes one doesn't normally wear. ·       Self-trust is crucial in making personal choices. ·       Finding comfort in clothing is important for self-regulation, and feeling authentic. ·       Fear of overwhelm and dysregulation can be mitigated with preparation. ·       Embracing spontaneity can enhance connections with others. ·       Assertiveness is necessary in family dynamics. ·       Personal growth often comes from challenging experiences. ·       Sensitivity is a strength, not a weakness.   SOUND BITES "This is not about getting married." "I felt so present." "I really wanted to honor the bride." "I was very disheartened." "I fell in love with it."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You have a right to trust that you are exactly where you need to be. There's not anything you need to do. Your value and worth does not come from being productive. You can be stimmy. You can be joyful. You can be quiet.   You can be assertive. You can be moving your body. You can be still. You can want to touch all of the dogs in the world, and all of the horses. You can want to be left alone. You can enjoy being with people not being with people. Every single part of you is okay exactly the way you are.   CHAPTERS   00:00 Navigating Personal Truths and Autonomy 03:01 The Impact of Performative Expectations 05:55 Body Image and Self-Trust 09:11 Finding Comfort in Personal Choices 12:11 Overcoming Social Anxiety and Overstimulation 14:52 Embracing Spontaneity and Connection 18:08 Balancing Assertiveness and Sensitivity 20:46 Reflections on Personal Growth and Relationships   PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you LINKS   Neurodivergent Online Course-- https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/neurodivergent-online-courses/   Receive the top 10 most downloaded episodes of the podcast-- https://www.subscribepage.com/e6z6e6 Sign up for the Newsletter-- https://www.subscribepage.com/y0l7d4   To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select “listen on Apple Podcasts” chose “open in itunes” choose “ratings and reviews” click to rate the number of starts click “write a review”   Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com  

This week, I'm peeling back the glossy filters and calling it like it is. Why are so many individuals on social just shaming machines in disguise? I'm talking about the rise of the shamefluencer — creators who weaponize wellness language to judge, call out, and divide. It's a culture that prioritizes perfectionism over progress, comparison over compassion, and fear over freedom. In this solo episode, I'm chatting performative wellness is hurting real healing, and what true self-work actually looks like — beyond the highlight reels and hashtags. Healing isn't about shaming others to feel better about yourself or to grow a following or get clicks. It's about embracing imperfection, owning your journey, and showing up with honesty and vulnerability. Be gentle with you and with all. It's time to reclaim wellness as a space for growth, connection, and kindness — not judgement. A gentle reminder from me to you: everybody's trying their best — and if you can be kind, be kind. You can always be kind. x Candice

This episode tackles the spectacle of performative masculinity and the rise of man-fluencers like Liver King, Wes Watson, and Jack Donovan. We expose the marketing behind ancestral tenets, supplement empires, and controversial ideologies. From Liver King's arrest to Jack Donovan's far-right leanings, we question what's real versus contrived. We highlight the contrast between performative posturing and authentic growth, featuring a post from Kelvin Davis as a grounded example. We also critique how workouts like Murph get hijacked by social media. Wrapping with a wild gorilla-versus-humans debate, this episode blends serious critique with humor to explore what masculinity really means today.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:01) - The Rise of Performative Masculinity(0:12:46) - Influencers and Masculinity Ideologies(0:17:57) - Exploring the Meaning of Brotherhood(0:30:32) - The Misuse of the Murph Workout(0:39:50) - Debunking Social Media Misinformation(0:48:22) - Gorilla vs. 100 Men DebateSend us a text

What happens when a prison reform panel becomes a performative stall tactic? In this episode, we break down why the Oregon Justice Resource Center made the difficult decision to step away from Governor Kotek's advisory panel on women's prison reform. After two years of ignored recommendations, performative meetings, and worsening conditions inside Coffee Creek, we ask: is Oregon really serious about change—or just managing the optics?The Trail Blazing Justice podcast is a production of the Oregon Justice Resource Center.

In this episode, Kimberly and Alex discuss his extensive background in working with children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). He spent much of those years taking a non-traditional approach from just behavioral to prioritizing fun and community. This work led him to keenly understanding the importance of local agriculture, nutrition, and the gut-brain connection, and eventually he began working as an animal butcher and supporting his wife's work, The Wild Nutritionist. Aspects of their discussion are connected through the thread of the importance of holistic care for ASD individuals as well as local farming, nutrition, and the gut-brain connection.   Bio Alex Johnson is a father, butcher, former autism specialist, husband of Kate Pope, The Wild Nutritionist, and long-term friend of Kimberly's.

Do you still feel obsessed or out of control with food, even though you're not dieting anymore? This is SUPER frustrating, I know.    In this episode, I'm breaking down why so many women still feel chaotic around food even after quitting dieting, and why intuitive eating can feel confusing, frustrating, or “like it's not working.”   Before you throw in the towel and go back to your low carb diet or counting calories, listen to this episode. It might change everything for you.    We'll talk about: The sneaky ways diet culture lives on in your thoughts and food guilt Why you might still feel addicted to food even when you're eating what you want The difference between real permission to eat and performative permission How to rebuild self-trust with food when you still feel like you can't be trusted If you're stuck in the “I'm not dieting, but I'm still obsessing” stage, this episode will help you understand what's really going on and how to move forward (rather than backwards into your old dieting habits that keep you stuck).  

Have you ever taken part in something you have no real interest in just for the sake of posting it online? Maybe you went to a concert for an artist you had no real interest in, or took up running just to make others jealous?Joining guest host Adrian Kennedy to discuss ‘performative socialising' is Holly Carpenter, Irish model and social media star, Rosalyne Lipsett, Fashion Broadcaster with Ireland AM and Jason O'Callaghan, Psychologist.

Performative diversity & inclusion initiatives were never about progress.They were considered as performative for a reason—because it looks like change without being change.That's the conversation I'm having in one of my most viewed episodes of Keeping It Real with Dr. Anita—and it's a message that matters now more than ever.In this episode, I break down:-Why social statements without internal action erode trust-How failure to lean into inclusive influence ultimately limits impact-What real accountability looks like when it's cascaded from the top throughout the organizationIf we want real representation and retention, we must move beyond checking boxes and start changing cultures.Watch now, and if it speaks to you, please share it ➡️ because we all have a role to play in getting this right.

We've all heard the lines: “I'm just really busy,” “Friendship is hard,” or “You know I'm always here if you need me.” These phrases sound virtuous, even comforting—but are they actually meaningful? Or are they just passive ways to dodge the responsibility of real connection?In this episode, we unpack the culture of performative friendship—where people want credit for care they never deliver. Because sometimes, the thought doesn't count. Especially when it's never followed by action. Let's talk about what it means to actually show up.1:1 coaching www.birdbrainwellness.com

We've mistaken platforms for purpose. We've idolized influence and sacrificed intimacy. And we've called it success when in reality, it's just burnout in disguise. This week, Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Tauren Wells joins Win Today for a brutally honest conversation about the danger of exposure growing faster than character. Together, we explore how influence without intimacy leads to insecurity, how image management becomes spiritual performance, and why pathologizing our struggles has kept us from doing the real work of healing.

What does gender inclusivity have to do with pet behavior consulting? (Spoiler: everything.) In this episode of Enrichment for the Real World, Emily Strong (she/they) chats with Sami Griffin (they/them), a cat and dog behavior consultant with a passion for creating safer, more inclusive spaces—for pets and their people. Sami helps us move beyond surface-level performative action into real, effective inclusivity that doesn't just sound good, but does good.From busting myths around sex and gender to sharing tangible ways to practice using pronouns and avoid assumptions, this conversation is packed with insight, empathy, and action. You'll also hear how the same principles we use in behavior work—intentional practice, meeting learners' needs, and using a descriptive approach—can help us grow as inclusive professionals. Whether you're already deep into this work or you're just starting to explore how gender inclusivity fits into your role, this episode offers guidance, support, and that gentle-but-firm nudge to do better—for everyone's benefit.Meet Our Guest: Sami Griffin (they/them)Sami (they/them) got a bachelor's degree in music and gender studies (with a lot of philosophy). They worked as a veterinary assistant in veterinary emergency, in shelters in the foster and behavior departments, and with a Veterinary Behaviorist as a behavior therapist focused on behavior modification. Amongst all things animal behavior, they are passionate about educating people on queerness and how all systems of oppression are interlocked. If they aren't teaching people about the animals in their lives, they're likely teaching people about queerness and LGBTQ inclusivity, playing indie video games, puzzling, or embroidering.Connect with Sami on Instagram or their websiteTLDL (Too Long, Didn't Listen): Mistakes are Normal – Nobody gets it right 100% of the time, and that's okay. The key is how we respond: with openness, humility, and a willingness to keep learning. Behavior Principles Apply to People, Too – Just like teaching a dog to sit or helping a cat love their cat tree, changing our language and habits takes practice, reinforcement, and support.Take a Descriptive Approach – Instead of making assumptions about pets or people, taking a descriptive, curiosity-centered approach will build trust, reduce harm, and create space for authenticity.Links & Resources from the EpisodeFind the transcript in Arial l Find the transcript in OpenDyslexicLearn why Emily and Sami said it's so important to speak outGoing Down a Rabbit Hole?Want more ways to expand your inclusive, science-smart behavior toolkit?

In a world that celebrates big milestones, loud announcements, and curated perfection, it's easy to forget that some of the most meaningful wins don't make it to the feed.  They happen behind closed doors. They don't come with applause. They aren't always photogenic… but they are real. And they are enough. Today's episode is a deeply personal one. I'm pulling back the curtain on how my definition of success has changed over the years… How I'm still digging my biggest goals, but now it's in a way that aligns more with how I want to feel, not just how it all looks. Whether you're in a season of quiet growth, private healing, or just choosing to build a life that prioritizes peace over performance, I hope this episode feels like a soft place to land.
