That one where we ingest reality television mindfully. After spending the last few weeks working on and promoting her SXSW Panel Picker proposal, resting, reflecting, and getting tf organized, Adriana returns to the podcast mic to talk about several things that've been on her mind. In a recap of the weeks past, we'll talk current events and shed light on a few stories that affirm the lasting trauma of colonization and the importance on building community as a radical act of liberation (from the powers that be). This week's topic of the week is about many of our favorite guilty pleasure: reality television. Adriana will aim to explore the reasons people watch (and enjoy) reality television, what reality television watching tells about personality, and some ways to practice mindfulness when it comes to watching this type of programming. We'll discuss voyeurism, and its psychological connection to those who enjoy reality shows, Festinger's Social Comparison Theory, and the similarities (and key differences) between people who do watch and those who don't. In a short conversation about being mindful of the ways we judge others' journeys, the OG Says segment was inspired by the rare instance of coming across a thought-provoking meme. To close the episode and set the energetic tone for the week to come, Adriana intuitively chooses and reads a poem from one of her favorite books by Thich Nhat Hanh. ***PLEASE "VOTE UP" ON ADRIANA'S SXSW 2022 PANEL PICKER PROPOSAL!*** https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/112265 Email us for questions, comments, and anything else at: organicwithog@gmail.com Follow Us!

We're heartbroken and outraged along with El Paso and the rest of Texas this week. We're desperate to know what to do about this gun violence epidemic, so we sat down with Ed Scruggs, president of Texas Gun Sense, to learn comebacks to some of these NRA talking points we hear our crazy uncles spouting. We also talk white supremacy, police racism in Galveston, and some good news, too -- the #Texodus of Republicans from Congress and some wonderful things our listeners did for our "Politics Is Personal" guest Ann Finch's organization, Team Brownsville.

Episode 14: Beyond Baby Birth Postpartum health is just as important (if not more important) as prenatal health for new and expectant mothers, especially for Black women. If you listened to our 3rd episode, entitled, The Black Maternal Birthing Experience, with our guest, Jen Sarduy, we discussed many factors contributing to the disparities of healthcare among black women during pregnancy. This serves as the second part from our Black Maternal Health episode. According to Psychology Today, black mothers endure twice the risk of depression, and anxiety compared to our white counterparts, that often go untreated. Today, we will discuss postpartum care--the emotional well being and womb care for a stable, healthy fourth trimester! Guest Momologist Bio: Sister Freya Mórani is the Founder and CEO of RootMama. She is a certified doula, trained breastfeeding educator, childbirth educator and wellness coach. Sis. Freya provides intuitive and professional support to women, infants and families during preconception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She has a lineage of home birthing and midwifery reaching back to her maternal grandmother and great grandmothers. Freya became interested in becoming a doula after watching Shafia Monroe's presentation on the Legacy of the Black Midwife in 2011. She coupled her knowledge of healing the womb, inspired by Queen Afua, with her professional doula training to create the wellness company RootMama.
