Welcome to yet another explosive episode of the Anti Professional Podcast with your unorthodox guide, Chuck Copenspire! This time, we're turning the tables on normality with Abi Mallick, fondly known as the Existential Coach. Abi takes us on a rollercoaster ride through the enigmatic landscapes of play, anti-capitalism, coaching, therapy, and the intersection of parenting and queerness. Prepare to laugh your socks off and ponder the meaning of life, all in one breath, as we embrace the transformative power of play. Why should kids have all the fun, after all? Abi challenges the grim-faced narratives of capitalism, because who said money-making couldn't be fun? And speaking of challenging narratives, we also tackle the towering question - coaching or therapy? Which one is right for you? Rounding off with an intimate discussion on the delicate dance of queer parenting, this episode promises to be as exhilarating as it is enlightening. Forget what you thought you knew about life, love, and everything in between. Abi Mallick is here to show us that the real magic happens when we dare to color outside the lines.
