  • Twin Peaks pt 2 and Anxiety Meets Circus Arts
    Jun 9 2023

    First, we start with tattoo artist Lee Dandy and the Sancheck system on the second half of our conversation about Twin Peaks. We had been discussing the role of generational trauma and abuse. Did Laura Palmer make the decision to end a cycle of abuse? That’s how Sancheck interprets this David Lynch masterpiece.

    Then, we talk to Maggie Parrish about what it means to be a circus arts performer with anxiety.

  • Twin Peaks, Generational Trauma, and Abuse
    May 26 2023
    "This is about a kid, who was abused her whole life, deciding that she’s going to be the one to end it." Sancheck and Lee Dandy enlighten me on their interpretation of Twin Peaks, and it is a good one. Both have been on the show before. Lee is a queer tattoo artist at Electric Panther in Cabot, Arkansas. Sancheck is a dissociative identity system. This is really Sancheck's episode. Take a listen to their fascinating take on the show, generational trauma, and abuse.

Fun conversations about mental health and pop culture 💖

It’s fun, it’s casual. Nerdy out with other neuro-divergent folks about their eclectic interests and get some feel-good insight into living with mental illness.
