Shye's Not Shy

WARNING: This is the season finale!!!!! Seasons greetings, everyone! Today, we’re discussing a range of topics centered on what’s happened over the past couple of months in domestic U.S. politics. But that’s not all!  We begin this episode with a brief discussion of sex and healthcare in the U.S. and then transition into what a second (?) Trump presidency will bring, and what this means for all of...

WARNING: Psych major talking about mental problems? What a shocker! Have you ever questioned the mental state of humanity or even what seems to be an exponential increase in the number of people with mental health issues? If so, look no further: this episode is for you! The overarching topic of mental health is a relatively new one, so listen to my perspective on the era of mental illness and what...

WARNING: If you don't like jokes about serious topics, you might be in for a rude awakening. How do mixed-identity relationships work? Do men have roles as fathers? Are women the only ones who can bear the burden of emotional maturity? Join us as we talk extensively about romantic, platonic, and familial relationships with a splash of modern-day cultural identity issues and chronic online beha...

WARNING: Don't be intimidated by big words, you smart cookie! Enjoy this New Year with me as I review Michael Parenti's book, 'Blackshirts & Reds: Rational Fascism & the Overthrow of Communism'. If you're like me and are always surprised by the lack of global economic and social history you have, listen as I discuss Parenti's approach to how the introduction of the...

WARNING: Bear with me as I learn how to capture audio better in the future! Clay and I both couldn't get what happened on Oct. 7 in Gaza and Israel off our minds. Listen to our introductory-level discussion to make sense of and give context to this geopolitical conflict and the terms that have been used to describe what has happened. Wanna learn more?

WARNING: Once again, there are more vivid descriptions of pedophilia and child sexual abuse, so continue with care. I'm finishing this series by name-dropping some political predators and their affiliates, as well as discussing Jefferey Epstein's "associates". Stay tuned to hear the not-so-happy happy ending. Here's the list of references: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...

(TRIGGER) WARNING: Includes discussion of child sexual abuse and pedophilia. Proceed as you wish.  Exploring the roots of childbearing, power, and sexual abuse with real-world examples from the Department of Justice .  If you can, please donate to Darkness to Light, a charity founded to end child sexual abuse: You Can Protect Children - Darkness to Light (convio.net) .

WARNING: Exploring cultural appropriation and unproductive in-group fighting with a dash of politics is more fun with a guest! Follow Blasé Garcia on Instagram @iambhouse to see all his cool features!

WARNING: The episode may contain laughter, viewer discretion advised. Great times in D.C.! Listen to my stories and talks of what the future has in store...

WARNING: We've got some hot takes about religion in the U.S., dating, sexuality, and so-called womanhood, plus we love, love, love to gossip (so tune in)!

WARNING: Very emotional and sad, but raw and real and something that I hope will provide you with a journal prompt to think about for today. The loss of a parent is something so difficult to grasp; it's even harder when your relationship wasn't the best.

WARNING: Fun Q&A plus political takes that no one asked for!! Hot takes and cringe are what I do best. I hope you can keep up with everything that I talk about and even laugh with me (probably at me).

WARNING: This one is for all my history geeks ;) I submitted this for a podcast competition, so let's hope I win! I hope you enjoy my exploration of communism's history in the U.S.

Journaling has been an amazingly necessary tool in my healing process, and I want to reflect on my past entries to see how much I've changed since writing them. For some reason, this is super therapeutic, so I hope that the things I talk about resonate with you <3  This series will (hopefully) push you to want to start taking (better) care of yourself. If you want to write alongside me, her...

Happy First (Real) Episode! Today, I use the information that I've learned from my Intro to Learning class and apply it to something that gets me thinking: the formation of political beliefs.  I do not claim to be an expert, just a girl wanting to explain the world using some stuff that she knows.     WARNING: I was "pushin' (more like pronouncing) p" a little too hard in the m...

Just some info about me and why I started "Shye's Not Shy". WARNING: Beware, my voice is kind of addicting to listen to...
