• Roots & Repair: Addressing Childhood Trauma in Ginny & Georgia
    Jul 17 2025

    Join us as we explore the inner children of Ginny, Georgia, Maxine, and Marcus from Ginny & Georgia. We'll examine how Georgia's unhealed inner adolescent drives her protective yet destructive behavior, impacting Ginny's quest for stability. We also look at how Max's inner need for validation fuels her intense friendships, and how Marcus's inner child, seeking solace, struggles with depression. Discover how understanding these "inner children" can unlock empathy and healing for all.

  • Dating the Avatar
    Jul 4 2025

    Have you ever felt like you’d met your dream person? You start dating and for a while, things are great. They may not be perfect, but if feels like they could be the one? Until sometime later you realize that they aren’t who you thought they were. Either they aren’t showing up the way they did when you first met, or you’re seeing sides of them that you didn’t anticipate. If you’ve had that experience, then you’ve probably dated the avatar.

    Our Core Curriculum today is Sociology and we’re talking about the ways we hide behind avatars- that’s the representative of you in video games, on social media, your profile pic, etc., why we date them, and how we can heal whatever wound created them.

  • One of Them Days - Dreux and Alyssa
    Jun 26 2025

    Today's Episode of Hopscotch-n-Jacks dives into the "inner child" dynamics of Dreux and Alyssa, the main characters from the movie "One of Them Days." We explore how their past experiences and unresolved emotional needs influence their actions and reactions throughout their chaotic day. We discuss how Dreux's need for control and security, stemming from her disciplined nature and ambition, clashes with Alyssa's more free-spirited and sometimes impulsive approach, which might be linked to a desire for artistic expression and perhaps a fear of commitment or responsibility. The conversation unpacks how these underlying "inner child" traits manifest in their friendship, their individual struggles, and ultimately, their journey to overcome obstacles and mature.

  • Beyond the Parade: Pride & Protest
    Jun 5 2025

    Join us for a profound Pride 2025 episode that delves into the heart of what "Pride" truly means, both individually and collectively. We'll unpack the vibrant and often complex landscape of Pride in 2025 and how the LGBTQAI+ community navigates ongoing challenges and triumphs.

    But to truly understand Pride today, we must journey back to its radical roots. We'll trace the origins of Pride back to the Stonewall Uprising, examining how a defiant stand against injustice ignited a global movement for liberation.

    Finally, we'll explore the deeply personal impact of Pride on our "inner child." How does celebrating our authentic selves and witnessing community resilience heal past wounds and affirm the queer kid we once were, or still are? This episode is an invitation to celebrate, reflect, and nurture the vibrant spirit within us all.
