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.
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.

Good Grief

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!

Stigmas and Stones May Break Our Bones

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to get through this latest episode of our podcast. Some podcasts seem to go on forever, and that's a mighty long time. But Coree and Elsa here to talk you down, and to be casually bigoted against the Irish.
It's easy to say there's no shame in accepting and owning one's issues. But anyone who's tried to talk with a gymrat coworker or oblivious aunt has encountered the subtle humiliation of being told "everyone gets depressed," or "you don't need medications, just think happy thoughts," and other nonsense that comes with society's contempt for mental illness. That's why this week's topic is stigmas! (Not Stigmata; we're saving the religious mania stuff for a future episode.)
