Well Being

This week, it’s just Theo and Kel holding it down—sending love to Andy while diving headfirst into sparks of inspiration, creative nostalgia, and full-on goblin hosting energy. We kick things off with hype around DJI’s next move (👀 Pocket 4 rumors), the ever-evolving world of content creation, and a surprise shoutout to Pizza: The Movie—a modern stoner comedy that absolutely delivers. From there, things get reflective as we explore how creativity has become more accessible than ever… and why that’s both exciting and a little overwhelming. Then it’s time to slip into Goblin Mode: Hospitality Edition. We revisit memory spaces—those chaotic, perfect hangouts from the past. Garages turned creative sanctuaries. Smoke-filled backyards. Dingy couches that somehow felt like home. The places where ideas were born, friendships were forged, and nothing else mattered. From there, we get real about: What it means to host people in your space The pressure of cooking vs. just showing up Dinner party insecurities (and why they exist) The unspoken rules of “acceptable” goblin hosting (frozen food? box wine? slightly burned meals?) And ultimately, we land on something deeper—what makes a gathering truly meaningful isn’t perfection… it’s presence. This one’s about creating spaces where people can just be—messy, creative, nostalgic, and real. Come hang in the garage with us.

This week, the trio is BACK together—and you already know that means sparks are flying. We kick things off with inspiration from Resident Evil 9, throwbacks to Pokémon Red, and a surprisingly deep dive into the current state of movies (plus a little Pedro Pascal appreciation along the way). But things really heat up when Kel recounts a festival experience that goes from vibey to full-on survival mode—think heat exhaustion, mushroom miscalculations, and laying under a tree questioning reality. Day two? Redemption arc. From there, we dive into mental health and creativity, exploring two powerful ideas from Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: What happens when you try the opposite of your artistic instincts? And are you really listening, or just waiting to respond? The conversation gets real as we unpack: The struggle between process vs. product Rediscovering the joy of creating instead of chasing the result Nostalgia for the DIY filmmaking days at the Fox Theater And that elusive creative spark you can’t force—but can learn to notice This episode is part reflection, part chaos, and part creative reset button. If you’ve ever felt stuck, burned out, or just too focused on the end result… this one might hit different.

It’s hot. Like… offensively hot. And in this sweat-soaked episode of Well Being, Theo and Kel return (sans Andy, who is once again booked and busy) to talk surviving the heat, thriving on set, and finding inspiration in the chaos. Sparks are flying this week: Theo’s fresh off nearly two weeks on set, soaking in that creative camaraderie and rediscovering the magic of production life A dive into the surprisingly fun Wonder Man series and why industry insight changes everything Kel brings the heat with Age of Attraction, a reality dating experiment that asks: what happens when you remove age from the equation? (Spoiler: it gets wild) Fitness arcs, early morning hikes, and prepping for Beyond Wonderland with next-level perler creations Then the crew shifts into the mental health portion, continuing their journey through Goblin Mode: A Guide to Life—this time tackling Goblin Hospitality. Why don’t we invite people over? Why does everything have to be perfect first? And who are we really trying to impress? They unpack: The myth of the “perfect home” Childhood conditioning around hosting The pressure of appearances vs. the reality of connection Why your friends care more about you than your countertops It’s messy. It’s honest. It’s deeply relatable. Because at the end of the day… your friends aren’t home inspectors—they just want to see you.

This week on Well Being, Theo and Andy are flying duo while Kel gets dragged into the mortal realm of work. But fear not — because we’ve got Sparks of Inspiration that span animated mysticism to 70s detective brilliance. Theo celebrates a holy day of personal significance: a new album drop from Gorillaz, complete with an 8-minute hand-drawn short and vinyl variants acquired like sacred relics. Meanwhile, Andy falls headfirst into an unexpected obsession with Columbo, discovering that the pilot was directed by a baby-faced Steven Spielberg — and realizing procedural television hasn’t quite felt the same since. From there? We spiral (lovingly) into: Wizard-core aesthetics and curated maximalism Dream homes vs. the homes we actually live in Victorian manors, arcade basements, gothic rod iron fences Jacuzzi tubs as emotional reset chambers The quiet mental health impact of “keeping up appearances” And of course… an extended Doctor Who corner featuring David Tennant, Rose heartbreak, Donna supremacy, and why some regenerations are better left skipped. In our Mental Health portion, we dive deeper into Goblin Mode Guide to Life, unpacking what it means to unlearn performative perfection — especially when it comes to how our homes “should” look. What if comfort mattered more than presentation? What if your house reflected your inner wizard instead of HOA expectations? Episode 119 is part nostalgia spiral, part aesthetic manifesto, part detective dissection — and fully us. Light a candle. Build a hidden room. Question your lawn. Be well. And don’t let them tell you you need to change… just because you’re feeling a little strange.

This week on Well Being, it’s a two-man weave as Theo and Andy hold it down while Kel is off adventuring. We kick things off with Sparks of Inspiration — a full-blown British invasion. Andy dives deep into the worlds of Doctor Who (Tenet, Eccleston, and Matt Smith runs secured) while revisiting the magic of Harry Potter on Audible. Rose. Donna. Martha. Regret. Redemption. Giant bees (apparently). Meanwhile, Theo returns to the haunting beauty and brutal difficulty of Hollow Knight, embracing the pain in hopes that maybe — just maybe — this is the run where he finally beats it. Then we pivot into the Mental Health Portion, continuing our Goblin Mode exploration. But this time? We dig into Goblin Core. What does it mean to live in “organized chaos”? Is goblin energy unclean… or just uncurated? Where did our internal pressure to keep a staged, company-ready home come from? Childhood? Culture? Pinterest perfection? We unpack: The difference between messy and dirty Why dishes feel like a moral failing Bathroom hypocrisy The guilt spiral of “I should be cleaning” And why no one has ever achieved enlightenment scrubbing a toaster oven From ornate mossy corners to cable-filled doom boxes, this episode explores the tension between aesthetic chaos and internalized shame — and whether we can build homes that reflect who we actually are instead of who we think we’re supposed to be. So light a candle, embrace the goblin within, and remember: Cleanliness might not be next to godliness… but self-compassion probably is.

This week on Well Being, Theo and Kel roll deep in a two-man squad while Andy gets pulled back into the capitalist void. We kick things off with Sparks of Inspiration: 📚 Theo finishes Dungeon Crawler Carl: Doomsday Scenario and immediately needs book three injected into his veins. 🌌 Star Wars Outlaws is finally clicking. 🗡️ Hollow Knight gets resurrected (again). 🎬 And Kel experiments with Montage Editing in Final Cut — confronting vertical video, anamorphic squeeze lenses, and the existential crisis of “Do I make people turn their phones sideways?” Then we shift into Goblin Mode. What does your ideal home say about you? Are Pinterest-perfect interiors inspiring… or quietly shaming? Is clutter a failure — or proof that your life is actually being lived? The guys unpack: Minimalist chic vs curated maximalism Secret passage mansions and Resident Evil dream homes Candid photos vs perfectly composed misery Millennials and the art of “Well… at least we’re not on fire” Why productivity feels impossible when your space isn’t your nest And the difference between a house that’s impressive and a house that’s yours Turns out, maybe the goal isn’t a perfect home. Maybe it’s a home that reflects you — cobwebs, scratched couches, tech upgrades, goblin corners and all. Be well. Even if your rug’s clawed up. Even if the clutter’s winning. Even if you’re still figuring out where the hell everything goes. Just cause you’re feeling a little strange… doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

January finally let go of our ankles, and Well Being is back on the other side of the longest month known to humankind. This week’s Sparks of Inspiration are absolutely stacked: Kel somehow watches five movies in one week, we talk Sinners, Weapons, One Battle After Another, Superman (2025), and why modern stabilization might be robbing car chases of their soul. Andy revisits Schitt’s Creek and gets hyped for the Super Bowl halftime show, while Theo dives headfirst into Dungeon Crawler Carl, a book series that feels like Running Man meets Hitchhiker’s Guide with max chaos energy. From there, we roll straight into the mental health portion, pulling from Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being to unpack one of the book’s biggest chapters: Rules. The rules we’re taught. The rules we inherit. The ones we don’t even realize we’re following. We talk perfectionism, lowering the stakes, creative pressure, and how unconscious rules can quietly suffocate joy, collaboration, and experimentation. We reflect on breaking out of rigid structures, rediscovering play, and why sometimes the best move is to throw away the old playbook—without losing the skills you earned along the way. Creativity, mental health, teamwork, and the radical idea that maybe you’re allowed to do things your way. No absolutes. No averages. Just testing the rules and seeing what happens.

The whole gang is finally back together, and the vibes are immaculate—slightly unhinged, deeply thoughtful, and very anti-vertical video. This week’s Sparks of Inspiration bounce all over the place: Shrinking season three turning into an accidental five-episode binge, Royal Rumble confusion at 9am, Resident Evil retrospectives, the absolute joy of Dungeon Crawler Carl, and a bold creative stance that may change everything: turn your damn phone sideways. In the mental health portion, we return to The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin and unpack the idea of intention—why care matters, why friction isn’t always the enemy, and whether making things “easier” actually drains them of meaning. From perfectionism and creative paralysis to algorithms, organization chaos, and starting literally anything, the conversation gets honest, vulnerable, and surprisingly funny. We talk about hiding feelings in characters, making art through anguish, being a creative instrumentalist in a much bigger cosmic orchestra, and why sometimes the best move is just dumping everything into the timeline and seeing what survives. It’s a joyful mess. It’s thoughtful. It’s a reminder that the work isn’t the point—the intention is. 🎧 Sparks fly 🧠 Mental health gets weird 🎨 Art gets vulnerable 📱 Vertical video gets roasted Welcome back to Well Being.

Being persists. This week, we kick things off with Sparks of Inspiration, diving deep into gaming obsessions as Theo continues his Resident Evil marathon in preparation for RE9, revisits the chaotic joy of Resident Evil Village, and discovers the hilarious, unexpectedly heartfelt world of Dungeon Crawler Carl. Kel shares finishing his latest Star Wars run, thoughts on the Fallout series (including some side-eye at the Brotherhood of Steel), and why Walton Goggins is absolutely unstoppable. Then—big life update alert 🚨—Kel tells the full story of his Disneyland engagement, complete with castle photos, sneaky family coordination, Magic Bands, and an accidental masterclass on how to get a hundred professional engagement photos for the price of a Lightning Lane pass. It’s wholesome, chaotic, and extremely on brand. In our mental health portion, we continue our Goblin Mode series, exploring what it means to create a home that feels curated, cozy, automated, and lived-in. We unpack ideas of organization vs. chaos, shared living spaces, renter limitations, smart lighting obsessions, and the emotional weight we attach to “having things in their place.” Is a tidy home actually peace—or just another expectation we’re supposed to live up to? As always, we wrap with reflection, humor, and permission to exist somewhere between mossy goblin cave and hyper-organized Pinterest dream. Be well. 🖤 Theme by Affektiv https://open.spotify.com/artist/2dkwCQLY61JvqMmiiBvps3?si=N97bAnDqQkqcSSxVZA0C0Q https://soundcloud.com/affektiv Email us: [email protected] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WellBeingpod

All the things. Everything. All at once. Welcome back to Well Being. This week it’s just Theo and Andy holding down the fort as they ease back into rhythm after the holidays. Sparks of Inspiration kick things off with glass-blowing competition shows, Edgar Wright rewatches, heavy video game rotations, and spinning the wheel on nightly comfort gaming. In the mental health portion, the conversation turns toward work-life balance, respecting time off, setting boundaries with notifications, and why focusing on one meaningful goal might be healthier than chasing a dozen at once. The two reflect on resolutions, therapy check-ins, burnout, and learning how to actually rest without guilt. From there, it’s full Goblin Mode. The discussion explores what it means to feel truly at home—maximalism vs. minimalism, curated clutter, creative spaces, rotating collections, and why “less is more” doesn’t always apply to people who love their stuff. From coffee setups and office reorganization to lightsabers on the wall, this episode embraces comfort, personality, and building spaces that reflect who you are right now. It’s cozy, reflective, a little chaotic, and very goblin. Be well. Just ’cause you’re feeling a little strange.

We’re back in the new year and checking in — resolutions, realities, and all the weird little habits that follow us into January. Theo and Kel kick things off with Sparks of Inspiration, diving into video games as healthy escapism, rediscovering Doctor Who, filling the Severance-shaped void with mysterious TV, and finding joy in actually finishing long-form games instead of doom scrolling into oblivion. In the mental health portion, we do a real New Year check-in: what’s working, what isn’t, and why “baby steps” might be the most sustainable way forward. From cutting back on energy drinks to navigating therapy, medication adjustments, gratitude practices, and creative momentum, this episode is about being honest without being harsh. We also tackle perfectionism — how it shows up in our art, our homes, our bodies, and even the clothes we wear to the grocery store — and ask what might happen if we loosen the grip just a little. That conversation leads us straight into Goblin Mode: giving ourselves permission to rest, create imperfectly, be cozy, play games, make messes, and exist without constantly performing productivity. This episode is about letting go, tuning back in, and remembering that progress doesn’t have to be loud or polished to be real. Just cause you’re feeling a little strange — you’re not alone. 🖤 Theme by Affektiv https://open.spotify.com/artist/2dkwCQLY61JvqMmiiBvps3?si=N97bAnDqQkqcSSxVZA0C0Q https://soundcloud.com/affektiv Email us: [email protected] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WellBeingpod

Welcome back to Well Being, caught right in that strange liminal space between Christmas and New Year’s — aka Twixmas. The days feel blurry, productivity is optional, and next year’s problems can absolutely wait. We kick things off with our Sparks of Inspiration, swapping holiday highlights, comfort media, and creative joys — from Disneyland dreams and Stranger Things discourse to Hades II, Star Wars games, Doc Martens conversions, and the quiet magic of returning to things you love. From there, we ease into the mental health portion, unpacking what resolutions actually mean in a world that feels heavy, loud, and demanding. Instead of rigid goals and toxic self-optimization, we explore resolutions as guiding lights — promises rooted in compassion, creativity, movement, and sustainability. We talk fitness without shame, creativity without burnout, work-life balance, planting seeds for future growth, and learning to love making art both alone and together. Then we drop fully into Goblin Mode 🧌 We shed shame, confess our goblin behaviors, laugh through messiness, doomscrolling, food choices, jacket piles, and creative chaos — all while questioning perfectionism and the unrealistic standards we’ve been taught to uphold. This episode is cozy, honest, funny, and reflective — a permission slip to enter the new year without pressure, without punishment, and without pretending you’ve got it all figured out. As always: Be well. Don’t let them tell you to change — just because you feel a little strange.

It’s the season of exhaustion, hibernation fantasies, and doing the best we can with what we’ve got — welcome back to Well Being. This week, the crew leans into Sparks of Inspiration fueled by video games, television binges, unexpected freelance shoots, fog machines that refuse to die, and the reminder that sometimes the tools you already have are exactly the ones you need. From Red Dead Redemption and Cult of the Lamb to Vince Gilligan’s newest Apple TV obsession, inspiration shows up in strange and comforting places. In the mental health portion, we dig into Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being, unpacking chapters on distraction, collaboration, and imperfection. What’s the difference between distraction and procrastination? Why are we never actually creating alone? And how do fear, perfectionism, and age quietly convince us to stop sharing our work? The conversation turns deeply reflective as we talk about: Fear of releasing art into the world Perfectionism vs. progress Losing (and finding) your creative voice The pressure of age, careers, grades, money, and expectations Why imperfections don’t ruin great work — they often define it From Pulp Fiction focus pulls to Star Wars wet-hair continuity, from early 20s fearlessness to mid-30s self-doubt, this episode is a reminder that art doesn’t need permission to exist — and neither do you. Be well, foolios.

After a whirlwind holiday week full of food, family, and brutal winds, the trio returns to Well Being feeling… well, mostly refreshed. Sparks of Inspiration kick us off with Kel rediscovering the joy of baking and hyping up a Subtronix 360 show, Theo launching a new Redbubble shop and tumbling down a retro–gaming rabbit hole, and Andy searching for something—anything—to qualify as a spark as he pushes through a packed work schedule. From there, the crew dives deep into this week’s mental health focus: imperfection, pressure, and the stories we tell ourselves. Using Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act, they unpack perfectionism, self–doubt, the fear of the audience, and how creative paralysis sneaks up on all of us. They explore embracing flaws, the weird beauty of “happy accidents,” and how the pursuit of perfection can stall projects, dreams, and sometimes entire eras of creativity. The conversation hits everything from abandoned edits to old sketches, from behind-the-scenes memories to unfinished films waiting for a second chance. The gang gets vulnerable, honest, and surprisingly motivational as they explore how to stop chasing “perfect” and instead chase completion, joy, and the messy fun of making art. Then it’s back into the campaign with a chaotic showdown, questionable decisions, a portable hole, and the party once again diving into trouble faster than Theo can shout “Wait two minutes!” If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, creatively blocked, or crushed under your own expectations — this episode is a warm, funny, slightly chaotic reminder that imperfections aren’t just okay… they’re part of the magic. Be well, foolios.

This week on Well Being, Theo, Andy, and Kel gather in the calm-before-the-storm—right on the edge of Thanksgiving chaos and Black Friday madness. Sparks of Inspiration kick things off with everything from chaotic LA concert adventures in torrential rain, to mindless comfort-TV binges, to Theo consuming comics, audiobooks, and absolutely stuffing the creative vessel. Then the trio dives deep into this week’s Mental Health portion, exploring Rick Rubin’s wisdom on creative environments, intuition, and the ever-lurking specter of self-doubt. The conversation flows into perfectionism, artistic fear, the pressure of numbers, relationship-shaped insecurities, and the courage it takes to make art “just for you.” There’s reflection, honesty, and—of course—a healthy dose of spite-fueled motivation. Finally, we roll back into the campaign as our crew faces unexpected company: Liberty Strike Rangers, Copper Butterfly gang members, and a rising sense of aberrant danger. With detect magic, gang lore, and uneasy alliances in play, the team must decide whether to push forward or take the long way around. The world expands, the tension builds, and the story continues to evolve with every choice. ✨ Sparks of Inspiration. 🧠 Mental Health in Action. 🎲 Campaign Chaos. All wrapped up in the signature Well Being blend of humor, honesty, world-building, and soul.

This week on Well Being, the trio shows up tired but determined — sparked by surprise concerts, fresh vinyl pickups, classic monsters, and a little unexpected holiday cup magic. Those moments of inspiration kick off a deeper dive into Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act, where Theo, Kel, and Andy explore the inner landscapes we overlook, the subconscious wells we ignore, and the ever-present creativity hiding just behind the clouds. In the mental health portion, the gang reflects on how we consume information — intentionally or accidentally — and how it shapes our creative lives. From dream journaling to media detoxing to simply letting life come to you, they unpack ways to realign the inflow so it feeds your art instead of draining your energy. Then it’s back into Campaign Session 16, where the sewer water rises, the dome goes up, and four mysterious figures lurk just outside the safety of Jelly’s tiny hut. Caltrops are dropped, accusations are made, and once again the Gang wonders why they never take the non-stinky route. Be well, foolios — and maybe reconsider your algorithm.

The gang returns from a short break as Theo shares stories from DreamHack Atlanta, while Kel and Andy bring Sparks of Inspiration ranging from Over the Garden Wall to the Dodgers’ World Series win, and even a Freddy Krueger Halloween rave adventure. This week’s mental health portion dives into Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act, exploring what it means to immerse yourself in greatness, to see nature as a teacher, and to notice the constant flow of change in ourselves and the world around us. The trio reflect on how what we consume shapes our creativity, our moods, and our inner balance—with a few tangents on Pokémon hunts and Harry Potter thrown in for good measure.

Theo and Andy return—sans Kel, who’s apparently trapped in a Doc Brown toilet situation—to spark inspiration from Pokémon Legends ZA, Resident Evil rants, and a full-blown Keanu Reeves deep dive. From The Replacements to Point Break, it’s a love letter to all things Keanu before diving into the mental health side of “Goblin Mode.” They unpack what it really means to lean into your inner goblin—balancing self-care and chaos, setting boundaries with overbearing parents, and learning to show up as your true self (even if that self is still in pajamas at 3 p.m.). Then, it’s back into the sewers for more campaign madness, lizard fights, and a questionable collection of thumbs. 🎮 Sparks of Inspiration: Pokémon Legends ZA, The Replacements, Resident Evil 5 🧠 Shadow Work: Finding your balance in Goblin Mode ⚔️ Campaign: Sewer battles, thumb trophies, and the scent of adventure Be kind, embrace the chaos, and don’t forget—work to live, not live to work.

This week on Well Being, Theo, Andy, and Kel dive into the Rick Rubin-inspired art of paying attention — and knowing what not to pay attention to. From doomscrolling detoxes to discovering creative sparks in the randomness of life, the trio reflects on curating your inner algorithm and guarding your mental bandwidth. Theo shares how filtering his Instagram into a haven of art and inspiration reshaped his mindset, Kel faces off with screen-time stats and the challenge of being present-Kel, and Andy tries to balance Pokémon launches, Dodger wins, and a critical look at creative content intake. The conversation wanders through horror shows, Resident Evil, and even a $10-million-dollar thought experiment that reframes the value of waking up each day. It’s a blend of humor, honesty, and mindful rebellion — all before the crew jumps back into their chaotic campaign for another round of invisible rings, fire spells, and questionable rolls.

This week on Well Being, sparks of inspiration fly from San Bernardino to the stars! Kel preps for a Halloween music fest as Obi-Wan (complete with poi battles and pixel whips),and gets lost in the Ed Gein Netflix series. Andy re-binges Firefly, and Theo dives deep into horror flicks and Peacemaker hype. In the mental health segment, the trio explores The Creative Act by Rick Rubin—talking “The Vessel and The Filter,” and how creativity flows through us like cosmic data. They share actionable ways to stay inspired: random art roulette, mindful walks, and even Audible deep dives into Good Omens and Jurassic Park. Then, it’s back into the campaign where chaos erupts underground—tentacles, poison, and some very questionable dice rolls. ✨ Whether you’re an artist, gamer, or just creatively curious, this episode reminds us: the true instrument is you.

The sparks are flowing this week on Well Being! Kel shows off the shiny new iPhone 17 Pro Max and dives deep into lenses, low-light testing, and the magic of anamorphic flares. Theo kicks spooky season into gear with a Resident Evil marathon, horror movie nights, and Megan 2.0 absurdity. Andy brings it back to creative sparks, reflecting on missed opportunities, signs from the universe, and finding flow again. From there, the trio crack open Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being and explore how creativity emerges from awareness, mindfulness, and noticing the subtle nudges the world offers. They wrestle with the challenges of carving out mindful space at home, the resistance to change, and what it means to truly pay attention—whether that’s to silence, serendipity, or Spider-Man rubber bands. The episode then shifts into the campaign, where awareness takes on a whole new meaning: paralyzing poison, bug monsters, and wild dice rolls push the gang into dangerous territory. Kelliot, Xelia, Devi, and Xolo fight to stay alive as awareness meets action. It’s an episode of sparks, creative work, and universal callings—reminding us that being mindful isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth the roll.

The Well Being crew is back from a short hiatus and diving straight into sparks of inspiration—from Death Cab vinyls and new camera toys to binge-worthy shows like Peacemaker and Haunted Hotel. This week, Theo, Kel, and Andy crack open Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being alongside a new workbook, exploring what it means to nurture creativity, embrace silence, and rediscover wonder in unexpected places. Of course, things don’t stay quiet for long. In the campaign, the gang stumbles upon slime, suspicious purification machinery, and some very hungry giant centipedes.

This week on Well Being, the trio celebrates hitting triple digits the only way we know how: by going full goblin. Sparks of Inspiration range from EDM gems and K-dramas to football drafts and rediscovering The Office. Then we toss out “The Artist’s Way” and dive headfirst into Goblin Mode: A Guide to Life, unpacking what it means to live messy, authentic, and unapologetically human. Along the way, we debate our next book — Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being or Thriving with Adult ADHD. Spoiler: creativity wins… for now. And in the campaign, our party (Kel, Andy, Magy, and Theo under Andres’s DM guidance) roller-skates deeper into the sewers, where foul smells lead to even fouler discoveries.

We kick things off with a DIY-filmmaking spark: the crew dives into producing a music video for Brain Fragment’s “Octopus of Malice”—complete with a resurrected fog machine, on-the-fly effects, and a September 3 YouTube drop. It’s scrappy, sweaty, and wildly creative, and we loved every second. Also on the sparks board: an origami-style “Moft” iPad dynamic folio that turns into about twelve different stands because sometimes targeted ads actually hit. In our mental health check-in, we ask whether we should remix how we’re doing The Artist’s Way. Seven days of Morning Pages (30–45 minutes a day) plus reading and homework can be a lot—especially for working artists juggling 9–5s, projects, and family time. Andy shares why evenings are for decompressing and hanging with Magy, which means homework isn’t always realistic. Real talk on capacity, compassion, and sustainable creativity. Stick around for shout-outs, socials, and Theo’s Sunday 11:30am PT Twitch art stream—tunes, drawing, and good vibes. 💌 Tell us what you want next! Take the listener survey: SURVEY!

Kel returns, Andy’s out this week, and Theo’s buzzing about craft and consistency. Sparks hit on deep-dive inspo from Last Podcast on the Left—their Zach Cregger chat (Barbarian, Weapons, Whitest Kids U’Know), plus a wild Dolby Atmos Halloween sound-effects release that has Theo dreaming bigger about building their own thing. In the mental health check-in, the crew talks therapy shifts, finding a livable schedule, and what to do when Morning Pages stall—like trying quick voice-memo journaling to stay in the flow. There’s real talk on self-doubt vs. “imposter” feelings, and learning to be your own guide as you wade back into The Artist’s Way. Then it’s back to the table: a high-tension car caper with thieves’ tools, an Inspector-Gadget-style mage hand, covert comms, and peak Magy chaos—stealing cars, throwing punches, and reveling in the safe power-fantasy of play when the dice finally cooperate. 📓 Homework: Keep Morning Pages going (or try a short voice-memo check-in), take an Artist Date, and notice synchronicities this week. Bonus: sketch a simple daily schedule you can actually keep.

After a month-long hiatus, Theo and Andy are back in the groove! They kick things off with their "sparks of inspiration," discussing the ins and outs of a video game challenge and the latest Batman comics. Then, they get into a mental health check-in, talking about the challenges of separating work from personal life and the weird feeling of "graduating" from therapy. Finally, things take a turn for the weird when the episode ends with a deep dive into an investigation involving sewer maps and... spaghetti?

The crew is back—after a false start and a Kodak-to-pink background transformation—to bring sparks, shame, synchronicity, and solid chaos. Theo talks about quitting smoking with a fidgety flavored-air gadget called Füm and promotes his upcoming spooky Twitch radio stream, QWRK Radio. Kel gets deep into Andor season two, praising its emotional weight and time jumps, while Andy unexpectedly binges Cloudward, Ho!, the new steampunk D&D campaign from Dimension 20, after his downloads fail—introducing Magy to it on his third rewatch like a proud campaign dad. This week marks Week Three of The Artist’s Way—Recovering a Sense of Power. Which means: anger, synchronicity, shame, and criticism. We discuss how powerful emotion can be harnessed rather than feared, how synchronicity starts creeping in when the universe knows you’re cooking something good, and how shame and criticism can either crush or shape your creative spirit. Everyone shares where they’re at with morning pages (spoiler: we’re all tired), artist dates (some corporate hellscapes, some musical healing), and the infamous “10 Tiny Things” list (some tinier than others). In the campaign, the gang investigates the aftermath of a suspicious vat explosion, meets a green dragonborn foreman, uncovers a blackout-induced riot, and rolls nat 1s while trying to read technical reports. There’s drone sabotage, vat line theories, potion handouts, and a lot of workers whose shoes have been mysteriously tied together. 📓 Homework: Morning Pages – Keep writing. Let it be raw, repetitive, ridiculous—it’s all part of the process. Artist Date – Treat yourself to a solo, sacred slice of fun. Make it intentional. Make it weird. Synchronicities – Notice what clicks. What’s showing up in your life that feels “too aligned” to be random? 10 Tiny Things – Update your list of small joys, wishes, or acts of self-care. Pick one and follow through. 🧠 Week 3 Tasks – Recovering a Sense of Integrity Describe your childhood bedroom: Sketch it or write about it. What was your favorite thing in the room? List five traits you liked in yourself as a child: Tap into the version of you before self-censorship kicked in. List five childhood accomplishments: Big or small—what made you proud as a kid? Examine your current habits: What’s helping your creativity right now? What’s holding it back? Make a list of friends who nurture you. Call one of them. Check your inner compass: Are you feeling aligned or off-course? Pause and listen. List five people you admire. List five people you wish you had met (who are now deceased): What about them inspires you?

The gang returns from a two-week hiatus, caffeinated and creatively cautious, diving into Week Two of The Artist’s Way: Recovering a Sense of Identity. But first, sparks of inspiration! Andy rants about Seth Rogen in “The Studio,” Kel circles the finale of Andor like a Star Wars shark, and Theo gets gifted Alligator Bites Never Heal on vinyl and a fresh Switch 2 controller. There’s bath-time therapy, DC travel talk, and a brief but passionate Nintendo corner. In our mental health portion, we unpack our recent experiences with morning pages—some of which now span 30-minute stream-of-consciousness audio journals while navigating traffic and existential dread. We vent about work stress, camera nerd joy, and trying not to judge ourselves when all we can write is the word “fuck” 70 times in a row. The group also shares their solo artist dates, from bubble baths to film marathons (Brazil still rules). We dig deep into Julia Cameron’s warnings about Crazy Makers, Poisonous Playmates, and that nagging skepticism that creeps in just as our creativity begins to breathe. What do we do when success starts to show up and we suddenly want to run? What happens when the universe actually… responds? Then, in our campaign, the gang stumbles into a sewer-based city of lizardfolk and fishy friends, grabs some beefy grub at DacaVille, and gears up for the next chapter of their world-shaking investigation. There’s healing, tail-friendly booths, and camera whistling. Truly the future is funky. 📓 Homework: Keep up those morning pages. Plan your next artist date. And remember: quantity is your job—quality is the universe’s.

Sparks fly this week as the gang dives into watercolor misadventures and a punk rock night to remember. Andy and Magy try their hand at painting pizza and wine at a windy CPK patio, while Theo takes his son to see The Damned live—chronicling the entire Dracula-goth madness on Instagram. Kel, in pursuit of rest, dreams of edits, storytelling through montage, and a perfect 6-hour nap without alarms. In our mental health section, we begin Week One of The Artist’s Way—recovering our inner child artist. We talk negative self-talk, creative insecurity, and the messy beauty of being a bad artist (on purpose). The group shares their first experiences with morning pages (spoiler: some pages are just “fuck” over and over), attempts at artist dates, and the radical concept of being gentle with your creative self. There are affirmations. There is coffee. There is soul-searching. Then, we return to the campaign, wrap up a major drone battle, investigate blown vats and virus-infected robots, and prep for our next mission—one that might involve jellies. As always, effective healing and even more effective music from our bardly friends. 📓 Homework: Try those morning pages. Book an artist date. And remember: bad art is still art, and your artist child deserves love too.

After a short break, the gang is back together for another week of Well Being. Theo, Andy, and Kel return with new sparks of inspiration—from cinematic deep dives to vinyl-fueled nostalgia and a camera-happy rave trip in Vegas. Kel recaps his mind-blowing first EDC experience and how it shattered some unexpected internal walls, leading to a powerful realization about creative and emotional expression. In the mental health portion, the trio explores new material outside of their usual Shadow Workbook. This week’s theme digs deeper and requires more intentional preparation, setting the stage for a discussion that’s both vulnerable and energizing. So grab your anamorphic lens, a Mission Impossible rewatch list, and your copy of Worlds on vinyl—it’s time to catch up with your favorite camera nerds and emotional explorers.

Kel’s off getting therapeutic in the deserts of Vegas (read: partying at EDC), so Theo and Andy hold it down with this week’s Sparks of Inspiration—including the Superman trailer that finally brings the man of steel some emotional range, creative football schedule drops, and a comic book rabbit hole featuring All-Star Superman and Absolute Batman’s terrifying take on Mr. Freeze. In place of shadow work, the duo dives into Burn After Writing prompts, asking hard-hitting questions like: what do I need vs. what do I want? What brings me comfort? What would I name myself if not Theo or Andy? And who gets brainwashed if we get a brainwashing machine? (Spoiler: Sony execs and billionaires, get ready.) Then it’s back into the heat of battle as the gang continues their campaign, pushing through drone attacks, nearly losing Kel again, and trying to remember that yes—being a barbarian means you probably should be smashing things. Will Theo’s big drone-jump gamble pay off? Will Maggie’s rogue fists do any damage? Tune in to find out.

As one chapter closes, another opens—and this week, the Well Being gang reflects on the surprising finale of their long journey through the Shadow Work workbook. But first, Sparks of Inspiration include dreams of Andor, comic book binges, Thunderbolts (the movie, not the team from Mario Golf), and a chance run-in that sparks reconnection. Then it’s time to explore joy—what it really means, where it hides, and how the chase for constant happiness can ironically make it harder to find. The trio reflects on retail therapy, hot baths, silly moments, finished edits, and the unachievable suddenly being achieved. It’s vulnerable, funny, and honestly kind of sweet. In the campaign, things heat up as Kelliot teeters on the edge of death, only to be saved at the last second (shout out to healing word). Spiritual weapons fly, drones drop, and the party continues to barely survive the chaos. If Chapter 2 was training wheels, Chapter 3 is the bike ride into hell—and we’re pedaling fast.

The gang is back after a quick break and kicks things off with some solid Sparks of Inspiration—from a spooky good vampire movie with Michael B. Jordan (x2!) to a tech-fueled adventure through San Francisco. Andy shares his surprising dive into lawyer shows (with a strict Suits-to-Boston Legal ratio), and then it’s time to get a little uncomfortable. This week’s shadow work focuses on dealing with difficult people—whether it’s your boss, a random stranger, or that one person who always seems to get under your skin. As always, the team blends world-building with real talk about growth, projection, and how our reactions might say more about us than we realize. Let’s shine a little light on the shadow.

This week on Well Being, sparks fly with talk of gorillaz vinyls, Coachella dropouts, and WrestleMania hype—but the real magic comes in the form of a heart-to-heart with Lucia Rallo, founder of the Bushwick Community Darkroom in Brooklyn, NY. Lucia takes us through the genesis of her analog oasis, born from a literal closet and now pulsing with the energy of artists, creators, and seekers of community. We explore the intersection of art, grief, and grassroots healing—from the emotional aftermath of personal loss to the beauty of building something bigger than ourselves. Lucia drops gems about the meditative power of darkrooms, the surprising economics of local communities, and why sometimes doing the small thing is the most revolutionary thing. There’s no mental health segment this week because this whole conversation is a mental health segment. Stay for the real talk, the community feels, and the D&D campaign that rounds out the episode with flying daggers and fantasy chaos. In this episode: 🎞️ How Lucia built a darkroom empire from a basement closet 🫂 Why micro-communities might just save democracy 🖤 Grief, resilience, and creating art as survival 🎲 Our gang finally gets into a real brawl in the campaign—and it gets messy Links: 👉 Bushwick Community Darkroom Theme by Affektiv https://open.spotify.com/artist/2dkwCQLY61JvqMmiiBvps3?si=N97bAnDqQkqcSSxVZA0C0Q https://soundcloud.com/affektiv Email us: [email protected] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WellBeingpod

Welcome back to Well Being! This week, Andy returns from his mountain retreat, Theo’s riding high on Severance season 2, and Kel is…well, somewhere on assignment. In this episode, our dynamic duo dives into a brutally honest mental health check-in—with new therapists, old frustrations, overthinking spirals, and full-size hotel bed regrets. Plus, we go deep with “Burn After Reading” prompts: who we’d bring back from the dead, what languages we wish we knew, and the biggest holes we’ve tried to fill (emotionally, not metaphorically). It’s real, it’s ridiculous, and it’s healing. Then we jump back into the campaign—straight into chaos. Rollerblades off, hovercars on, drones attack, and Sholo rages like a true wildcard. Spiritual weapons get summoned. Sneak attacks go wrong. Negotiations are abandoned. And everyone starts doing the exact opposite of what they should be doing. It’s glorious. 🎲 Mental health meets mayhem. Therapy meets tactics. Chaos meets catharsis.

This week on Well Being, Theo and Kel go full Val Kilmer appreciation mode, diving into the legacy of a legend—from Batman Forever to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. But it’s not just sparks of inspiration this time: the duo opens up in a raw and thoughtful mental health check-in. Theo shares insights from a recent therapy session, Kel talks about stepping into the world of therapy and navigating insurance nightmares, and together they explore what real change feels like after a year of shadow work. Also covered: spooky coat-on-a-chair realizations, anxiety hand-under-the-bed metaphors, and why some medications feel like superpowers with trade-offs. Come for the movie talk, stay for the vulnerability. ✨ Theme by Affektiv https://open.spotify.com/artist/2dkwCQLY61JvqMmiiBvps3?si=N97bAnDqQkqcSSxVZA0C0Q https://soundcloud.com/affektiv Email us: [email protected] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WellBeingpod

We’re back from a wild hiatus, and this week, we’re diving deep into the hush-hush world of sexual intimacy, desire, and shame. How do societal norms, religious teachings, and media shape our views on sex? What hidden beliefs are lurking in our shadows? Join Theo, Andy, and Kel as they break down the stigmas, share personal reflections, and explore how shadow work can help us redefine our relationship with intimacy. 🔥 Sparks of Inspiration: Severance Season 1 rewatch, Hulu woes, and Dodgers baseball! 🌀 Mental Health Focus: Unpacking sexual shame & rewriting our internal narratives 🎭 Campaign Corner: Where does intimacy fit into roleplaying?

This week, the crew takes a deep dive into the world of insecurities—how they creep into our work, relationships, and self-image. From imposter syndrome to body dysmorphia, we unpack the emotional weight we carry and how it shapes our daily lives. But it’s not all heavy! Sparks of inspiration bring us indie filmmaking victories, Daredevil critiques, and the wild world of Blender-powered Oscar winners. Plus, in the campaign, the team stumbles into a neon-lit underground city, meets fish-headed locals, and discovers a greasy diner that just might hold more than a good meal. Grab a seat at the bar, because this episode gets real.

What if thinking dumber actually made you smarter? This week, Theo, Andy, and Kel sit down with David Carson, author of the Dumbify newsletter, to explore how embracing “dumb thinking” can lead to creativity, problem-solving, and even scientific breakthroughs. From the origins of Liquid Death to the unexpected genius of potato chips, they discuss the power of letting go of the need to be “smart” all the time. Plus, the gang shares their own stories of happy accidents, DIY filmmaking mishaps, and how dumb ideas sometimes lead to the best results. No campaign session this week, but plenty of laughs, insights, and inspiration to shake up your mindset. Be sure to check out David’s work and, in the spirit of Dumbify, embrace a little bit of foolishness in your life.

The gang is back with sparks of inspiration, from revisiting Severance to diving into Absolute Batman. But this week’s shadow work takes a deep dive into denial—how we mask emotions, push things aside, and convince ourselves that everything is fine. From childhood experiences to relationships, the crew unpacks what it means to sit with discomfort without forcing a silver lining. Meanwhile, in the campaign, the team navigates sewers, encounters slimes, and makes some high-stakes rollerblade repairs. Join us for another episode of Well Being —where facing the shadow is part of the adventure.

Ah, balance—the ever-elusive unicorn of life. This week, Theo, Andy, and Kel attempt to wrangle their inner chaos and find some kind of harmony between their shadow traits and, you know, actually functioning humans. Will they succeed? Probably not, but hey, it’s the effort that counts! Sparks of Inspiration this week include Lego-building therapy, the dangers of puzzles (too many pieces, not enough patience), and why AppleCare might just be Kel’s new best friend. Meanwhile, in the campaign, our heroes finally stop running and start fighting… with mixed results. Some epic rolls, some epic failures, and one poor rat who gets viciously mocked into oblivion. Join us as we fumble through shadow work, dodge existential crises, and try (keyword: try) to find balance.

This week, Theo, Andy, and Kel dive deep into the foundation of identity—our families of origin. Sparks of Inspiration ignite the episode with everything from Super Bowl performances to impulse purchases, new tech, and a long-overdue therapy appointment. But the real journey begins when the crew explores how childhood environments shape financial habits, relationships, and personal growth. From generational cycles to unexpected self-discoveries, this episode is a heartfelt, hilarious, and sometimes heavy reflection on where we come from and where we’re headed. Plus, the campaign continues—fear, teleportation, and glowing rats included.

The crew is back, and this time they’re diving deep into the murky waters of conflict. From personal clashes to shadow work revelations, Theo, Andy, and Kel explore how conflict shapes our lives, where we feel it in our bodies, and how we can start addressing it instead of running from it. With some sparks of inspiration (including the Fantastic Four and Severance), they gear up for a powerful discussion on self-awareness, past wounds, and the weight of unresolved tension. Meanwhile, in the campaign, the gang faces their first real fight—some better prepared than others. Acidic ooze, desperate attacks, and unexpected fear set the stage for a chaotic battle that leaves scars both physical and emotional. Will they overcome their fears and find their strength, or will conflict consume them? Buckle up for an episode that blends introspection, laughter, and some good ol’ dice rolling chaos.

Are we anxiously attached? Avoidantly detached? Securely thriving? Or just chaotically winging it? This week, the Well Being crew is diving deep into Attachment Style Theory—because understanding how we connect (or avoid connecting) can be a total game-changer. But don’t worry, it’s not just theory talk; Theo, Andy, and Kel get real about their own attachment styles, childhood influences, and those sneaky patterns that creep into relationships. Of course, no episode is complete without some Sparks of Inspiration to kick things off, plus a campaign session that delivers pure chaos—rollerblades, bear traps, and a bag of holding? It’s all fair game when prepping for an underground mission. Grab your emotional support snack and settle in for an episode packed with laughs, deep dives, and maybe even a revelation or two.

Buckle up—this week, we’re diving deep into disappointment (but don’t worry, we keep it fun). The trio is back to share Sparks of Inspiration that spark some joy before tackling the tough topic of reacting to disappointment, courtesy of the Shadow Work Workbook. From awkward dinners and dashed job hopes to family letdowns, Theo, Andy, and Kel get real about how disappointment manifests and how they’ve learned to navigate those moments (or not). And, of course, the campaign chaos continues! This week, clown lawyers get weird, paperwork gets signed, and special demands turn into comedic gold as the team preps for their next mission. Who needs space pesos, anyway? Grab a cup of tea (or a stiff drink), and join us for laughs, insights, and a whole lot of healing.

Kel's feeling a little off this week, but that doesn't stop the crew from lifting his spirits with some energizing Sparks of Inspiration. In the mental health segment, we delve into the intricate process of Trusting Your Intuition through shadow work. The episode wraps up in the campaign as the Gang faces the fallout from their meeting with the Donner Party, leading to a mission with stakes higher than they could have imagined. Tune in for insights, laughs, and the unexpected twists that make our journey unforgettable!

New year, same Well Being energy—but with a fresh twist! We’re kicking off 2025 with Sparks of Inspiration to reignite those creative fires and sharing our New Year’s resolutions (spoiler: some are ambitious, some… not so much). Then, we dive into shadow work, peeling back the layers on the complicated relationship between love and hate. Are they two sides of the same coin? We’re figuring it out. Finally, it’s campaign time! Xolo’s interrogation comes to a close, but things really heat up as the four unite—much to Kelliot’s dismay. It’s a mix of resolution-making, emotional reflection, and narrative chaos to start your year off right. Don’t miss it!

It’s the season of giving—and forgiving! Before the Well Being crew heads into winter break, they’re gifting you some festive Sparks of Inspiration to deck your creative halls. Then, we’re dashing through the snow (or something like that) into this week’s shadow work, where the focus is on forgiving oneself. It’s a journey that shakes us to the core, like a certain Dickensian miser learning the true meaning of Christmas. Of course, no episode is complete without our campaign chaos! This week, we’ve got clown lawyers, high-stakes interrogations, and all the world-building whimsy you could wish for. We’ll be taking a break next week for Christmas, so cozy up, hit play, and join us for a merry and introspective adventure!
