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!    Listen to our playlist on Spotify.  We are in Feedspot's list of Top 45 Gay Podcasts!   Follow us on instagram and twitter:   @qbtpod   @mattyjerms   @shawnyboy   Big thanks to Momager Alie Kilts, and music contributions from Chanti Darling and Maarquii.

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.

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."
