On The Other Side Of Darkness
We were blessed today to catch up with our dear friend Todd Boman. Todd and Russell were both born in the Pontiac Memorial Hospital in the 70’s. Probably right along side Madonna Ciccone, a neighbor. Todd has a unique story to share. Growing up in Michigan as a young gay male is its own peculiar hellscape. He understood immediately (and by that I mean junior high school) that being gay in the 80’s and 90’s likely meant death from HIV/AIDS. Surviving the darker side of this AIDS crisis in America was fraught with escapist behavior and that became yet another damned issue to try and survive.
Ashtangorexia Nervosa
Bibi Lorenzetti is a new mother and an intensely dedicated Ashtanga yoga practitioner. What most people don’t realize is, like Russell and Harmony, Bibi shares body dysmorphia and has suffered with Anorexia Nervosa. In this episode we talk about how the urgency to “progress” at the physical side of the yoga practice, often comes at the expense of one’s health, which is traced more deeply to old feelings of insecurity. And how Bibi’s mindful and conscious approach helped to prepare her for pregnancy and becoming a mother.
