You've made it all the way to episode four of the podcast. Give yourself a pat on the back; you've earned it, and you are valid.
This week, Coree and Elsa get down to the heart of the matter, although their wills get weak and their thoughts seem to scatter. But I think it's about forgiveness? Or maybe I've just been listening to too much Don Henley.
Forgiving others and forgiving ourselves are both heavy tasks, and not everyone is ready for The Big Forgive. It's enough to actually make one of our hosts cry, in fact. Only took us four episodes to get there.
Our show is a production of Cinder Block Comedy, in association with Sodabags Studios and your town is next. Media. This episode was engineered and produced by Alex Fleming and Alexander Scott. Special thanks to Morgan Pielli for our show artwork and Intellectual Dark Wave for our theme song, from his album Labor Songs.

Here's a pro-tip for all you aspiring podcasters: never miss your scheduled recording sessions. Otherwise your producers start coming up with "creative workarounds." Anyway, enjoy whatever the hell this episode is supposed to be.

Wake up, sleepyhead. We're almost to grandma's house. Coronavirus? Hurricane Ida? The Marvel Cinematic Universe? What are those? It's 2006 and You're Fine!
This week, we take some time to vent and just get through this thing called Life in a Pandemic. Times are hard, anti-vaxxers are stupid, and we're down to smoking our roaches. On days like these, all you have are your friends and your podcast on which you record all your conversations. So enjoy the flow of discourse as we touch on dirty hamster cages, saving horses from the glue factory, and that guy who assaulted the MSNBC reporter. And for those keeping score at home, there is the triumphant return of Coree briefly singing!
Please note that our audio quality on this episode is not up to our usual standards; we encountered technical difficulties during recording, and made do with what we had. We appreciate your patience while we get these issues sorted out.

Hi. You got a second? Remember how, last week, we were talking about turning horses to glue, and cleaning hamster cages? We really couldn't have done all that without your help. And then look at you! Look at all you have done, and you have accomplished in all that time. We just want to say we never forgot you, and you're fine.
Yes, because this is a self-care podcast, we do give a shout-out to Steve from Blue's Clues this week. Elsa also obsesses over catching Pokémon, while Coree just respects that Grimer is living his best life. But the center of our discussion is one simple question: How do you sleep at night? And yeah, you can take that a lot of ways.

Just in time for May the 4th, it's our 3rd episode! And not only is today Star Trek day, it's also Coree's birthday! May she live long and prosper.
Look, y'all. Our culture has mainstreamed a lot of psychological terms lately. And yeah, it's good to have the right language to identify and express your mental state. But maybe we've gone a little too far. If you're accusing the cashier at Wendy's of "gaslighting" you because they forgot to put barbecue sauce in the bag, it might be time to take that word out of your vocabulary. "Narcissist," "Triggering" and "Trauma" are also on notice, until folks can get their act together.
Oh yeah, and Coree's dad has cancer. So she's got that going on. Y'know, just dad things.

The results from Coree's ADHD tests are back, and the doctors say there's only prescription: do more podcasting!
They also prescribed her Adderall! So buckle in because this episode is going to ride that amphetamine coaster till the wheels fall off. You will hear Coree experience the early effects of her new drug, which includes a lot of highs and some very heavy emotional valleys. Consider this a trigger warning.
You'll also hear our hosts cover a wide array of topics, from Elsa's recent hospitalization, to embezzling funds, to butt pics, to Pokemon, to ear hygiene, to watching Brokeback Mountain for the first time. All that in just one podcast episode—you can't beat that value!

This week's regular episode has been postponed, as our hosts have each found themselves separated by tragic circumstances. Instead, we offer a brief glimpse into where they're at, emotionally and physically, and how they're meeting each new day.
If you've been following our show, you may know that a number of emotionally taxing family issues have afflicted Coree in recent weeks, while Elsa has wrestled with health issues stemming from their hit-and-run injury. Those came to a head this past week, leaving us without the time or resources to record an episode. Still, we want to let you know how they're doing. We'll be back next week with a new episode, right on track.
And no matter what you're going through, we hope you're keeping your spirits high, and you never stop trying.

Welcome to the first episode of You're Fine, a mental health podcast that doesn't count toward your deductible!
On their maiden voyage, hosts Coree Spencer (she/her) and Elsa Eli Waithe (they/them) invite you to share in their experiences with just keeping it together. You'll hear their stories of addiction and disorder, what they're smoking for self-care, and a lot of strange noises they make into their microphones. (We're still getting the hang of audio production, folks.)

You've made it all the way to our tenth episode! Who would've bet we would get this far? If you didn't, you owe us $5. Pay up.
This week's episode is about the delicate balance of advocacy: when to be forgiving, and when to be demanding. For example, Coree is working to forgive and accept her experience with publishing her book (which you can purchase at your local store via IndieBound or online!), while Elsa is continuing to demand the state of New York reckon with its slave trade history with their Slavers of New York project.
Elsa is also introduced to a particular banger from Peter Gabriel's discography they'd somehow never heard, which is an unforgivable oversight.

Good Grief

You're Fine!

play

06/15/21 • 55 min

Oh thank goodness, you're here! We were so worried you might miss out on an all new episode of You're Fine!
This week, Elsa and Coree return to the stage—the Stages of Grief, to be precise. Grieving can take many forms and come out of many experiences, all of which manifest differently from person to person. Still, the basic trajectory tends to align with the famous Kübler-Ross model, as theorized by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, perhaps the original #GirlBoss of silently weeping inside a Denny's.
This week has also been huge for Elsa, whose Slavers of New York project has taken off online and in the news. Tune in to hear the latest developments with their anti-racism work that's now poised to change the landscape of New York. And also stories of haunted lakes and Coree's quest to cure her ADHD!
