Balance the Darkside

12/22/23 • 43 min

Cosplay has its dark side - believe me. And if you don't, then in today's episode, you can hear it from Anthony Cosjitsu, as he returns to chat with me all about the depths that some go to inside of the community.
Cosplay is and should be a positive space, but we know that with anything there can excess, anxiety, competition, cancel culture, and poor behavior. We talk through the ups and downs that we have experienced ourselves and the best approach to navigating the sometimes murky characters you can encounter. Don't get us wrong - it's a small percentage of everyone out in the space, but it never hurts to be careful and look out for yourselves - and each other!

Take These Steps - Season Finale

There are steps you can take in Cosplay, or anywhere. I'll take the time in this season ending episode (at least, standard episodes coming out regularly), to tell you what my process is.
- Decide on the thing in one of the areas you’re working to fix, my 5 are Environment, Physical and Mental well-being, Finance, and Relationships.

Write down the thin you want changed most and just write about it – what frustrates you, what do you believe you’ll get when you’re done chasing the thing – what do you have to gain or want from making an effort

Make a goal – crazy or not and break it down

Then...look at what really needs to go into it to get results and break it down
