Howdy, sluts! We missed you. We missed each other. We are not quite ready for season 3, but wanted to offer a little check-in on how we've been navigating our own mental health... without a therapist. How are we practicing what we preach? We talk about acting despite feelings, utilizing community, physical activity, and more! Up first, we play Sup Slut? The Game to get caught up on the last 4 months or so. We look forward to bringing you new content this summer. Thank you for your patience and love. And thank you all for 10k+ Downloads!

This session we are closing out 2021 & our series on spiritual healing and mental health with our good friend, Zac Ensign. Zac is an LMT, past life regression hypnotist, artist, and community builder. They share with us how massage and hypnosis have been helpful for their traumatic healing, how queerness influences their own practice, and hesitations with new age "toxic positivity." Up first, Shawny shares his excitement with No Way Home and we do not talk about Yellowjackets because he's already read Lord of the Flies. See y'all in 2022. Love you.
Episode Content Warning: Discussions of disordered eating and suicide

We are joined once again by our friend, Gary D'andre (aka gangstagurry) to talk about his understanding of spiritual healing and mental health. As a Black, gay man from a Southern Baptist background (the B in QBT stands for baptized), Gary offers a nuanced perspective to the spiritual healing market. Gary shares his thoughts on tarot, reiki, the "god wound," and fine-tuning one's intuition. Up first, Shawny and Jerms chat about HBO's Sort Of and our perspective of Harlem. This episode is full of joy and vulnerability and we are beyond thrilled to share it with you.

We are kicking off our new topic: Spirituality and Mental Health. The babes talk about how spirituality and mental health practices mix, and what they struggle with and celebrate within their definitions of spirituality for themselves. Up first, we say f*ck the Grammy's, review our Spotify Wrapped, and ask the tough question: where is Keyshia Cole? Later this month we will be talking to spiritual healers and practitioners, so stay tuned!

This week we are talking with self-identified queer, fat therapist, Adam MacDonald, LCSW. Adam practices in Austin, TX and specializes in attachment-based therapy (among other modalities) and joins us to talk about the impacts our families of origin and original attachment figures can have on how we build future relationships. Adam breaks down the basics of attachment theory and how he works toward healing with his queer clients. You're going to love Adam and the sweet, funny way he navigates this work.

Howdy babes- it's a new month and that means a new series. For November, we are discussing FAMILIES! We will explore how we define family, explore attachment, and inquire about boundaries we hold to foster our sense of belonging. But first, Shawny and Jerms discuss two HBO dramas with some f*cked up families: Succession and Adult Material. Join us as we kick off this month telling y'all about our own families of origin :)

For this session we are joined by Hannah May Cumming and Emma Cogan, the founders of the queer feminist film collective, Monstrous Femme Films. The two open up about reclaiming the traditionally misogynist genre, finding healing in their art, and why the 70s are a worthy obsession. This interview is the perfect closer to our month-long dive into fear and horror and we know you’re going to fall in love with these babes. Up first, Shawny and Jerms catch everyone up on the music they’ve been listening too. You won’t be able to guess the surprise artist the two bond over. Promise.

This ep it's just us girls, girls. Shawny and Jerms continue talking about horror this month by dissecting Halloween Kills, YOU season 3, the new 5cream Trailer, and the Brittany Murphy documentary. Then, we get into what to do with our fear? What does it have to teach us? How do we face them and what's lying underneath? Let's get into it! Also, f*ck Perez Hilton and Dave Chappelle.

This month, Shawny and Jerms kick off a new series: Fear, Phobias, and Horror. For our first episode we get into our introductions to the horror genre, why queer folks are so attracted to horror, why sometimes Black folks are NOT, and memories with our favorite ghouls. This month we will be joined by other queer horror lovers and jump into phobias and the psychology of fear.

This session the babes wrap up the Race, Racism, and Mental Health series. Up first, we dive into Fenty Vol. 3- what we love, and what we hated. Did you see Vanessa’s braids???? Then, Shawny and Jerms discuss the difference between preference, racism, and fetishization (say that 3x fast) in gay dating. Is there ever a time when racial preference isn’t racist? Is there a way to fetishize ethically? Finally, we reflect on the learning offered during our series this month and announce what’s coming in October. It’s Shawny’s Bday this weekend!! Send the babe a tasteful (or not) nude to celebrate.

This session we are joined by Noopur Shah, LPC. Noopur (they/he) chats with us about holding an Indian/American cultural identity and generating their own understanding of gender and self-love. He also shares with us about decolonizing mental health, and maybe, as Chloe x Halle prophesied, the kids are alright. Up first, it’s a bad week to be a barb or Nicki’s cousin’s friend's big giant vaccinated balls. Also, THEE BARB has gifted us with Montero and we are absolutely adding some tracks to the QBT playlist.

Howdy friends, this week in our Race, Racism, and Mental Health series, we are highlighting another creator of color we love: Gia Goodrich. Gia had us on her podcast, The Bold Bitch Podcast, back in June when we were on hiatus. We had a beautiful time being on the other end of the interview hot seat and we think you'll enjoy it too. We will be back to our regular programing next week with the last guest of our current series. We love ya! Take care of yourselves and listen/follow/subscribe to us and The Bold Bitch xx
"EP024 with Shawny & Jerms of The QBT Podcast. You will laugh and cry and love us for it with this episode. We bounce all over the place from popular culture, to mental health and the stories that keep us stuck, to queer fabulosity, and creating something from nothing.
These two are going to be your new obsession. Their ability to balance humor with depth is delightful and refreshing AF.
IN THIS EPISODE:
Cultural critique and being opinionated
Problematic movies of the past
Identifying and unlearning our childhood stories
Approaching what you don't know with curiosity (it's harder than you think)
The new model of mental health
Being empathetic vs. Absorbing energy
Launching a podcast in a pandemic
Growing over time and knowing the beginning will be totally embarrassing
Why people crave vulnerability
About Shawny & Jerms: Join Shawny and Jerms each week as they chat openly about topics related to mental health, queerness, racism, wellness, current events, and how to navigate this life with more kindness and laughter. Shawny is a Black gay total babe working in social media with a Masters in Counseling and a history of serving marginalized youths. Jerms is a white queer mullethead, recent graduate and LMSW candidate, and former nightlife demon. The QBT Podcast is about two queer babes talkin' mental health, pop culture, and whatever the hell else we want Both living in Portland, OR, the two tackle complex topics with a lot of heart and wit. At QBT, we believe sharing our stories is a radical act, and are proud to be joined by queer practitioners, artists, and other fantastic folks that offer their experiences. We may be therapists, but we aren't your therapist, so please prioritize professional licensed help while navigating your own mental health journey.Find their resources and homework here

More About The Show: In the BOLD BITCH Podcast we dive deep into taboo topics. Each week award-winning creative powerhouse and compulsively curious host Gia Goodrich talks to badass visionaries and brazen game-changers with bold visions and strong opinions. Diving below the surface of subjects we're socialized not to talk about, we learn, lift the veil, and shift perspectives on the lightning rod issues impacting us every day. It might ruffle a few feathers, but it takes honesty to inspire change and remind us that the boldest version of ourselves is exactly what the world needs."

This session we begin our new series for the month exploring the intersections of race, racism, and mental health. HEAVY? Yes, AND babes...we handle it with grace, humor, and honesty like we always do. We are joined by professor, speaker, consultant, & counselor, Dr. Veronica E. Johnson. She generously shares her expertise working with clients through a psychodynamic lens, educating across racial differences, and the weight of living in oppressive systems. Any of that seem puzzling? Don't fret we break it down for ya. An episode summary can't really BEGIN to capture the depth of this conversation...so JUMP IN!
