Unpacking the Power of Words and Beliefs on the Voyage to Mental Wellness #164- Jane Marie Auret

Navigating the tumultuous waters of cultural identity and mental health can feel like an odyssey, but we're not charting these depths alone. Jane Marie, a beacon of insight with her work at Screens in the Ego Literary Magazine and her recent book, joins us to shed light on how our quest for fulfillment has evolved from spiritual quests to medical models. Our conversation traverses the linguistic landscapes that shape our emotional worlds, contrasting Western and Middle Eastern mental health vocabularies, and unpacking how secularism's lack of direction has many yearning for the structured narratives once offered by religion. As the tides of our dialogue ebb and flow, we anchor in the personal harbors that many of us call home—the stories of our individual journeys. I bare my soul about my own post-college linguistic trials and the crossroads of my writing career, while Jane shares her first foray into publishing and how it opened her eyes to a deeper connection between the psyche and physicality. From there, we sail into the choppy seas of academia, where the misunderstood waves of mental wellness crash against the walls of expectation and misinterpretation, challenging the mainstream current of thought. Finally, our voyage takes us through the straits of societal critique and historical exploration. We cast a critical eye over the role of anger in the crafting of narratives around mental health and gender equality, and how safety—or the lack thereof—sculpts gender roles across cultures. A historical lens magnifies our views on male warriors and the Israel-Palestine conflict, while the Russia-Ukraine relations loom on the horizon, challenging media narratives and shaping our understanding of global politics. As we dock at the episode's end, Jane Marie shares her future aspirations and dispenses the wisdom that everything we seek may just be found within. Join us for this expedition into the depths of what makes us who we are, and perhaps discover a lighthouse guiding you to your own shore.
