The Snarky Empath

I've been having migraines off and on for three days now, and with it some rare accompanying anxiety. But I really wanted people to see the unvarnished reality of mental health snags given the state of the world these days. Here, I share my anxiety and feelings about the state of things these days in politics. Not exactly looking or feeling my best or most put-together post exercise, I wanted to s...

On this quick video I address yesterday's events that took place with the attempt on former President Trump's life, and the sociopolitical aftermath that will likely ensue, and what my concerns are for the country in these polarized times. https://linktr.ee/bryarpatchmedia Hosted on Acast.

Here, first I talk about political absolutism, and the risks involved in single issue voting. But really, I'm here to talk about how I keep my good mood up and my mind positive and resilient to the harshness of the times. Just a basic level of activity and mindfulness can help you, just like it does for me, in keeping your mind right and your attitude and hope up, especially when there's so much n...

Hello folks! I just wanted to check in on you guys after the podcast and say hi, and talk a little bit about the last podcast show entitled, "The Politics of Love v Hate, or at Least, Normal v Abnormal." The After-Party is our new series we'll be doing every week after the full length podcast episode airs to talk more personally about various things, like what went wrong and right with the last ep...

After the Supreme Court's democracy busting controversial ruling, essentially making Presidents of the United States Kings, then Biden's not so great debate performance and the aftermath that followed, we thought we should tackle this subject once and for all so we can get it off our chest and then move on to better things and greener pastures! Here, we'll talk about the politics of hate v love, o...

On this quick mini episode, I talk about the freedoms we take for granted on this 4th of July weekend, and how in our culture and society today, many people don't feel happy or empowered to truly be themselves and be free. As a society at large, many unkind people out there have made it their mission in life to rag on others, and I don't think that's right. So here I talk about how we have to try...

On this After-Party for the podcast episode, "season 1 episode 5- Ghosts, Crypids & Aliens Oh My!" I talk about what we're trying to achieve with this episode of the podcast, and the channel as a whole. I wanted to explain our skeptical but open minded "soft believer" point of view on the paranormal and unexplained phenomenon. Then, I allow myself to get very personal and in depth about who I...

We've been hammered lately by technical difficulties and existential realities, dealing with everything from cancer diagnoses to financial hardship to mental health setbacks. So your friendship and support means everything to us! We're trying so hard to make this show both informative, compassionate, and helpful, advocating for good mental health and robust living for regular people, and ways to m...

Every week I'm going to try to put out a post podcast "After Party" video and audio, talking about that week's podcast. This will allow you to get to know us better, and hopefully for us to connect with and get to know you better too! Also, to critique our performance and to perhaps clarify something we said or elaborate on something in order to make something more clear. The Bryar Patch After Par...

On this fun down to earth episode, Rebecca and I get super real about the hard knock life for all of us regular working people. We wanted to talk about the trials and tribulations out there for us regular folks, and how to see the world correctly.

On this episode Rebecca and I talk about what it's like to be average working class people trying to succeed and do the right thing, while being constantly bombarded by hateful and irrational people in our culture and society today. How we regular folks can find ways to maximize clarity, hope, and solutions, who are just trying to get a leg up in this difficult world, and thrive in a culture that'...

On this video we discuss the whole viral "man or bear" craze that has taken the online world by storm, so we thought we would put our two cents in too! If you aren't familiar, it started with a viral Tik Tok video where 8 women were asked, if you were out in the forest, would you choose to be with a man or a bear? Meaning, would you feel safer seeing a man, or would you rather take your chances wi...

Testing testing! Sorry in advance for the less than perfect camera angles! Mid shoot, my main camera battery died and had to depend on angle shots! That why this episode is called This is Just a Test! A famous old-school Beastie Boys song, we wanted to start the brand new show simply figuring out our tech and perfecting our production. As former podcast hosts of the 5 star rated Surviving Empathy...
