It’s a tale as old as time, and it’s true for almost every person on the planet: there are times when we’re just not feeling good about our bodies. But hopefully there are even more times when we are feeling great about them! This week, Hannah Hart talks with Dr. Hanne Blank about healing our relationships to our bodies and better understanding what forces shape our body image. Here’s to having a better time in our bodies and inventing a world where that’s easier for everyone to do.

Body-ody-ody, Mind, and Spirit ft. Dr. Hanne Blank

Most of us are lucky enough to have our sense of smell intact in this post-Covid world, and we have our likes and dislikes when it comes to different scents. But maybe our interactions with scent can go deeper. In today's episode, Hannah Hart talks with Dr. Tracey Marks to learn more about her experience as a psychiatrist, as well as her expertise in the complementary field of aromatherapy. Come along to learn a bit about the way scent can affect our brains and how it plays a part in our mental health tool kit.

Aromatherapy? It's Complementary! ft. Dr. Tracey Marks

Firstly, we are 100% pro-science. Secondly, let’s have some fun. We’re examining seven pop psychology findings that were later debunked in more rigorous clinical trials.

Alan Godshaw might be best described as a martial artist turned philosopher turned martial artist turned artist turned martial artist.

Enjoy as he and Hannah Hart explore the upsides and downsides of martial arts—and the cultures that surround them.

"Oh Wow! I Need Professional Help" - Unlocking The BEAR Cycle

How often do you connect the dots between personal problems and societal problems? All the time? That’s what we thought! And that’s why we’re talking policy on the pod today. Hugo Soto-Martinez is an activist and organizer who turned his passion for justice into a political career. A huge part of his platform is housing justice, and we’re excited to discuss what he thinks could change in LA, where the unhoused population has been growing, and people are frequently left to solve their own housing problems without support, options, or resources. 
Learn more about Hugo at hugo2022.com, follow him @hugoforcd13 on all platforms, and don’t forget to look up your own local candidates! Local races determine what happens on the ground in your neighborhood, so getting involved can make a huge difference.

It’s time to ask society, “Why are you the way you are?” and get a headlock + noogie combo instead of an answer. We’re talking to our friend Hannibal about his everyday experience as a cis het man, and what toxic masculinity has meant to him, both before and after he became aware of its existence.

Toxic Masculinity with (Non-Toxic) Hannibal Deiz

We are so lucky to have Valerie Harvey on the pod this week. She is an extremely talented MUA who expanded her work to the DEI field in 2020 to help people navigate their growing awareness of racism, sexism, homophobia, and all of the -isms that keep us from seeing each another as fellow human beings. In this episode, she shares her personal experience as well as wisdom about the motivating factors that uphold these -isms, and ways we can use disagreements as an opportunity to call people in rather than call them out. 

Please visit Society of Allies to learn more or to book Val for DEI sessions. Visit Mohawk Makeup if you are in the market for an MUA or would just love to see her beautiful work. Follow both on Instagram @societyofallies and @mohawkmakeup!
