Boykin Meets World

By: Jessica Ann Boykin
  • Summary

  • Hi, how are you?I’m Jessica Ann Boykin & I’ve lived a lot of life and by that I mean, trauma. Not the cool hip stuff, the CPTSD, severe depression, latent diagnosis of ADHD & complex grief kinda life. The purpose of this tear drop of a show in the vast ocean of podcasts, is to offer some connections. It is the connectedness to the disconnected. Pain is relative, we all have hurt & struggled & wondered how the f*ck am I going to get out of this? Join me as I ask myself that very question, as I journey through a painful self awareness of faults, fears and f*ck ups. I explore topics like narcissistic parents, mental health struggles like depression and anxiety. I talk with people I have an admiration for and my favorite recurring guest, my son. Join the conversation, send me your experience with your mental health, life or suggestions on what to chat about. I hope you enjoy & if anything, you’ll probably be left with a new found appreciation for your life! Thank you for listening & be well. With love, JAB

  • dear trauma, you're a real bummer.
    May 25 2022

    Hello!! I AM BACK!

    Oh brother, it's been rough. Shout out to Chuck for allowing for this to happen, you're a good man. Well, on today's episode I catch up, talk about what I have been struggling with and where I am at. Dealing with the shame of money troubles, the inability to get ahead of this and dealing with intense inadequate feelings.

    It's a short one but its a catch up and I hopefully will be back in action! If you want to help, go to instagram @boykin_buys and purchase something, my cashapp is also connected.

    I missed you kids! Rate and review on apple podcast, Spotify or wherever you listen. Email me with your thoughts, struggles, or whatever. I want to get better connected and hey, if you have questions ask em'!

  • Out of the Mouths of Babes An Interview w/My Son Archer
    Mar 7 2022

    Ep. 23 my son Archer makes another appearance on the show!

    This episode you get a look at our relationship and we talk about some big topics! It never ceases to amaze this boys mind and sometimes it feels like he is raising me! He gives some important advice on how to bring up big or uncomfortable topics with your child in a way they can handle it.

    We also go over one of our favorite books, 'Big Idea's for Curious Minds An Introduction to Philosophy for Curious Minds'  from The School of Life Press. I will link the website below! We go over two chapters in the book where we look at the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre where we talk about the "mind body problem" about the two versions we see our selves as, one version of how others see us and how we see ourselves. Also, looking at the philosopher  Jacques Derrida and his philosophy around the media and how they don't show you the whole picture of what is going on in the news.

    Join us for this special conversation and see the beauty of the mother son relationship!

    I will be going back to my once a week schedule! Starting today I will be releasing every Monday! I want to thank everyone who has supported me since starting this podcast. As I say, the intent is to connect to the disconnected and if I have helped at least one person and have helped make someone feel less alone with their mental health  and feel less different, than I really have achieved the intent of the journey.

  • An Internal Monologue & Some Listener Emails!!
    Feb 13 2022

    Episode 22 I discuss what's been going on with why I have been lagging! I really don't want to get in my own way with the podcast but I have been battling some sever feelings of inadequacies and self doubt, the feeling of irrelevance and that I am a pseudo intellectual!  You know, the usual! 

    So, these listener emails couldn't come at a perfect time! I read the sweetest email/fb messages on the show and discuss some topics brought up and or around the messages. 

    The show is started off with some writings of Lise Bosch, you can find her on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/writtenbylise/

    The episode from Theo Von is #379 'Return Vibes'  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-past-weekend/
