The Trauma Within Balancing Creativity and Mental Health W/ RJ City

Trauma Queen

Do you have any questions, any comments about the episode? Jimanekia would love to hear from you!

Do you ever find yourself longing for the ignorance of youth or wincing at a well-meant compliment? Join us as we sit down with actor, writer, and media personality RJ City, who hilariously reveals his discomfort with praise and his morning routine geared towards outrunning anxiety. From the beauty of ignorance to the calming productivity that soothes his soul, RJ shares his unique and often amusing perspectives on life.
Throughout our conversation, RJ opens up about the trials of balancing creativity with mental health, and the shift from the idealism of youth to the pragmatic realism of adulthood. We navigate the nuances of being labeled a "passive aggressive alpha male" and delve into cultural perceptions of politeness and rudeness. With personal anecdotes and a generous dose of wit, RJ sheds light on the importance of humor in dealing with vulnerability and maintaining mental well-being.
Finally, we explore the intriguing parallels between wrestling and comedy, the concept of cancel culture, and the significance of community bonds and self-celebration. RJ’s reflections on family dynamics, legacy, and the role of humor in navigating human susceptibility will leave you chuckling and contemplating all at once. Tune in for a whirlwind of laughter, reflection, and genuine moments that promise to entertain and inspire.

Thank you all for listening. Set a boundary with yourself this week, set a boundary with someone else. If someone else does not respect that boundary. LET THEM LOOSE YOU! Stay hydrated internally and externally. We do not have an ashy family.
