Part two: after discussing marriage, conspiracy theories and cryptozoology, Caroline asks Jayden a bit about his social media presence. Jayden has a unique take, as he is someone who creates content for and with 'influencers' and yet, he doesn't spend time on social media himself. Hear his 'behind the scenes' look at life surrounded by people known on social media, and, what it's like to live with someone who is so 'online' when he is so 'offline'.

This is the first 'special' episode of Out of Line, where we explore what it feels like to be an American right now. The current political climate has created a great source of anxiety for many -- for others, there is intense grief experienced personally each time there is another mass shooting or drastic and inhumane immigration measure taken by the government. The angst is high, and yet, so are the levels of activism. More Americans are registering to vote, and choosing to use their voices to speak up about issues that matter to them. So how do we process our own emotions and experience in a way that will make us more effective citizens? How do we ensure that we are responding from a grounded place, and not just reacting and resisting. Afterall, as the saying goes, What you resist persists.
This episode is a wild experiment in exploring these very questions. I, (Caroline) only got the idea to create this episode on Tuesday of this week, and created a call to action on my @teamwoodnote Instagram story, inviting guests to call in and record their own experiences. In a short 2 hour window, so many people called in that I could only be more sure that this conversation needed to happen.
What you'll hear: first, some of your own voices. If you called in and answered one of the questions, (What does it feel like to be an American right now? What are your self care practices like to support you in coping? And, what role does social media play in your activism and/or mental health?) THANK YOU. I felt your anger, your embarrassment, your sadness. I also felt your trust in me -- allowing me to piece together this collective experience. Thank you. Next, I talk with two professionals who share their own takes on what is happening in the world, and, strategies on supporting yourself with health first.
Some of my doctor friends have told me that 50-70% of their patients have mentioned an increase in anxiety and depression over the past 18 months, and so this needs to be talked about. Whatever your experience, and whether you have felt like you could share it with others or not, you are not alone. x
Guests:
Anna Kunnecke is a life coach that works to empower soulful women in finding their strength. Her business, Declare Dominion, is based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada where she lives with her husband and their 5 kids. Anna was generous enough to hop on a Skype call with me and chat about strategies to process what’s going on in America and in our bodies, so that we can be more effective activists.
Dr. Brittany Busse, is an occupational medicine specialist, and the Medical Director of Telehealth for Kura MD, Inc. She was willing to share her perspective on what is happening in America on a deeper neurological level.

Trigger warning: This conversation is not an easy one to have or listen to, but Anne’s courage to share her experience and her truth are especially important right now as we take a much-needed look at mental health, learning how to speak about our own needs, and learn how to support each other. Whatever your own personal truth, our hope is that this discussion will remind you that no matter how perfect and pretty an Instagram feed may look, we’re all fighting our own battles. One day at a time, may we truly unravel the aloneness that social media can amplify, and remember that we are all in this together.

Part two of Amy’s interview is a look behind the curtain of social media.. An honest take on mental health, self esteem and human value from someone in the ‘air quotes’ “influencer” realm, when Amy herself is not considered an ‘influencer’. It’s a new path for Out of Line, and I hope you’ll stick around to listen to what Amy has to say.
Amy Virginia Buchanan is a singer/songwriter, avant garde theatre artist and co-founder of Spring Street Social Society. Her style is influenced by a midwestern upbringing, spanning most of the middle of the country, as well as intensive training in classic theatre and clown arts. Amy combines her expertise in the arts with her experience in hospitality to curate events, often in partnership with brands as experiential marketing. She lives in New York City with a little cat named Whenny, but was in LA for work and came to my place to record our chat on witchcraft.

Note: After the latest ‘listener survey’ that many of you filled out, I (Caroline) realized that you don’t just want to hear from "influencers", you just want to hear from open, honest + interesting people.. So today’s guest is all about that! I’m so excited to continue evolving with you and creating the conversations that will intrigue us most. Make sure to listen to part two, to hear Amy's take on what it's like to live + work with "influencers", while not being one yourself.

After a feature on the Instagram blog a few years ago placed her in the spotlight and resulted in a greater social media following, Karen found that pairing her love of photography and social media by getting a job with an advertising agency was her ultimate dream.

Rachel Nguyen is a fashion blogger and YouTube'r, also known on social media as That's Chic.
