Hey spooky fruits!

Let’s get real for a second — how do you show up in conflict? Are you reacting from old programming, or are you showing up as your authentic self?

In this week’s episode of Weird Fruits, MJ and Stevie Mae dive into the nervous system’s natural responses when tensions arise, and what it really takes to stay true to who we are in those moments.

We share stories of moments when we’re fully embracing and embodying our weird selves, as well as times we’ve drifted away from our integrity or essence.

We also offer a simple sound practice to help clear the cobwebs and realign with your true energy.

Be true. Be you. Always.

P.S. You are forever welcome to our "funny bubble"

What does the word beauty evoke in you? What comes to mind when you think of true beauty—beyond the standards shaped by culture and society?

In this episode, Weird Fruits returns from our summer hiatus to explore how our beliefs about beauty have been formed, challenged, and evolved over time. Together, we’ll unpack what beauty means beneath the surface, with a somatic exercise to help us be present with beauty in its purest essence.

Grab a fruit and join us for our first ever Fruit and Tell! Not sure what that is? Neither were we.

In this episode, Marbear and Steve talk about their first ever representations into queer culture while growing up in small country towns. They also explore a somatic practice to reframe narratives from our inner critics when they tell us we don't belong.

Follow, like, share and tell us: who were your first queer representations? Who are your queeroes now?
