Formerly Chef Bry Comedy, we used to host the 5 star rated Surviving Empathy Podcast. After 141 episodes & a family cancer diagnosis, we went on hiatus & retooled the show to include a YouTube channel. Our show is all about social issues, kindness & forward thinking values, mental health, pop culture, movies, geeky & spooky stuff, & life in these weird uncertain times. Soft believers, we're paranormal curious, & sometimes talk about our thoughts about ghosts, cryptids, & alien life, etc., because it's just fun! Self described empaths, we just want the world to function & for people to get along & behave themselves. After all, we have this one life, there's just no room for hate & causing problems. Robust living & best practices is what it's all about! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Year of YouTube During Unreal Challenges, Redoing Things to Represent our Best & Truest Self

Apr 12 2025 16 mins  
This past year we decided to take our audio podcast to YouTube, but it hasn't been easy, nor as rewarding as I was hoping it would be.

But I'm back, clean and healthy,

Life's been a scary unmitigated disaster for me lately, and I found myself coping with life and the times we're in in some pretty unhealthy ways. I had several life crises, I landed myself in the ER multiple times, and needed hospitalization to get back to healthy again. I basically hit rock bottom. But since then I've been trying like crazy to take these scary surreal events and t

Dec 22 2024 48 mins  
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
