Nowhere To Go But Up Podcast

Podcast Link: Nowhere To Go But Up Interview with Lori Reising

Hello everyone!

I’m so excited to announce that I will be Sean Dustin’s monthly co-host for the variety portion of his show, Nowhere To Go But Up.  The link above is the interview we did so y’all could get to know me a bit.  His podcast talks about people’s bottom struggles and how they were able to rise up from the ashes.  I get into the biggest bottom of my life that spanned by entire 30s and how I found laughter and life again.  We also get into other topics such as podcasting, dating, life lessons and more!  I’m super excited to add in this project and be a part of Sean’s show vision!

Here is a little bit more about the Nowhere To Go But Up podcast in Sean’s words.  “This podcast was inspired by my own journey, and evolution through life, and wanting to share my story as well as stories from regular every day people. I’m a single dad, Union blue collar guy, former drug addict, spent time in Federal and State prison for drug trafficking and fraud. I was released in 2006 with nothing but the clothes on my back, and a bag of mail, and legal paperwork. In 2010 I finally kicked a long time methamphetamine habit, and started the long climb back up the ladder of life. I’m happy to say in 2019 I have managed to navigate myself into a position where i feel confident in sharing my struggles and successes, in the hopes of helping others.”

I hope you tune in to catch us banter since we approach life from vastly different perspectives.  Hopefully we will learn from each other and show the world how there’s room for curiosity and compromise within us all.

The Language of Grief with Morgan Wade

The Language of Grief with Morgan Wade

Episode Summary

I am talking today with Morgan Wade, a somatic therapist and hypnotherapist specializing in intimacy and embodiment. We are in unprecedented times with a global pandemic shifting life as we have known it.  I believe we are on the precipice of dropping deeper into a society based in community instead of currency and for that I am excited.  We are seeing how humanity is rising up to a global crisis and frankly I am proud, but we are also experiencing very real levels of collective grief pertaining to such dramatic change, as well as personal grief and loss from the virus itself.  I wanted to get to some real talk about grief for support and understanding. We will explore the language of grief that comes after the sudden loss of a person and how it can be an access point to raw vulnerability and spirit, how loss is human and moments of enlightenment can sometimes be found on a kitchen or bathroom floor and we also look at how grief can become our teacher.  We touch briefly on the stages of grief, but more so on the process of finding meaning in grief.  In the end, our conversation becomes a beautifully woven exploration of this earth  school ride that we are all on together, in community  in these human bodies and in our hearts.  As someone who had spent many years of my life in grief, this episode means the world to me.  I want to offer some support to the many people out there experiencing loss on any plane and to normalize the gravity of what they may be feeling.  I also want to offer support to the communities of those very same people so they might be able to hold space a little more without fear.  Morgan offers exquisite insights from all sides.

Show Notes:

  • Our history – a kindred spirit connection
  • Morgan’s early relationship with grief
  • Grief is human and universal
  • We are all increasing each other’s bandwidth for holding discomfort
  • Grief as a direct access to raw vulnerability and spirit
  • The current layers of collective grief
  • Moments of enlightenment on the kitchen and bathroom floor
  • The gift of grief as a teacher
  • Our innate medical wisdom to boost immunity
  • The stages of grief
  • Finding meaning in loss
  • The earth school ride
  • Who is your dream guest and why?

The Road to Rockin Out with Gabby Holt

Episode Summary

Gabby Holt is the real thing. The Portland native brings a balance of shimmering vocals, dynamic guitar work, and a profound technical command of the stage to creating the next generation of anthemic rock music.  Dropping her debut solo song and video for ‘Did I Make This Up’, Gabby spends the afternoon with me exploring the gift of emotion and pain, the vulnerability and all access pass in music, intuitive wisdom, raw connections to nature, how she started making major shifts for her body and cellular health and her process in music and in life.  Gabby also shares how sobriety has helped her be present in her life, has made life psychedelic and brings a clarity within her relationship processes. And…  get ready for two breath-taking acoustic performances by Gabby in the episode!  You will be transformed by her pure voice and energy.  So let’s get to it!

Show Notes:

I have such a moving time with Gabby exploring the gift of emotion and pain, the vulnerability and all access pass in music, intuitive wisdom, raw connections to nature, how she started making major shifts for her body and cellular health and her process in music and in life.  Gabby also shares how sobriety has helped her be present in her life, made life psychedelic and bring clarity within her relationship processes. We chat about her song Did I Make This Up and her video release on March 20th.  The song relays her deep childhood wound with abandonment and how she has learned to separate what is hers and what is not in relation to all of her life.  We are so blessed to take this deep dive with Gabby into past wounds, process work and discovering her magic in such beautiful and complex ways that  I believe we will all walk away with excitement to dive even deeper into our own humanity.  And…  get ready for two breath-taking acoustic performances by Gabby in the episode.  You will be transformed by her pure voice and energy.

Laughter is Medicine, The Art of Crafting Puppets and A Life in Comedy with Ben Harkins

Episode Summary

Originally from Pittsburgh, Ben Harkins is a Portland-based comic. His unsweetened wisdom and deadpan delivery have made him an audience favorite throughout the PNW. His irreverent material attacks everything from the cost of groceries to the extinction of species. He was recently voted Portland’s Funniest Comic in Willamette Weeks Funniest Five. He is also the host of Dark Web Tonight a live video clip show every third friday at Kickstand Comedy Space.  We will be getting down with my guest today where he gives us insights about finding his funny, using meditation for mental health, the puppets that are ruling his world, the perks of Portland’s comedy scene, what persistence in the pursuit of passion can do and so much more. You will get the treat of hearing some of his comedy, as well as some oracle card fun we had.  It’s a journey so I hope you enjoy the ride with us!

Show Notes:

In today’s episode we touch on mental health briefly and tools for navigating the journey.  I just want to say that many cities and towns have resources available that you may not even know about.  There may be hotlines, nonprofit programs or even school clinic’s where you can find therapist’s completing their school clinic to obtain their license.  I’ve heard amazing things about our school clinic’s here in Portland.  I am going to include a national suicide prevention hotline in the show notes.  If you find yourself in a difficult place without the tools to navigate it please reach out.  Community is here for you.  We are hard wired for connection and can really thrive in that space!  Let’s do this together y’all!
