Barely Famous · Falling in Love with the Process with Joanna “JoJo” Levesque · 22 Nov 2024 podcast

And he was interested in talking about the things that unite as opposed to the things that separate us. So particularly, like, is it monotheistic? the religions that have one God. But even Hinduism, you know, where there's multiple gods, it's still there. There's a lot of like similarities somewhat. So that's the thing that I was probably I'm a curious person. Sure.

And I think that what I know for sure is that God is real in my life and that God has saved me many times. And I enjoy being someone that thinks that there's some divine presence in my life that's orchestrating my steps and that I need to work in conjunction with. I can't just be like, oh, well, I don't need to do anything because God's going to. God's got me. And God does got me. Yeah, of course.

But I'm here, too. Right. So I don't know. That's a long winded way of kind of talking about my. And then there's been my experiences with meditation and psychedelics and that will break you open too. And that will make you question things. And I realized through dabbling in that a little bit that there's no end to that. So sometimes you got to just choose.

What framework do you want to believe in? Because if you get going on this journey – The questions never stop. Then you start – then you're like blasted off to the universe and then you're like, well, what's – it's just too much.

I know people party on it, which that bums me out.

I don't think people should do shrooms as a party thing. I don't think people should mix alcohol and – you know, any of these substances. I would agree. I think they're meant to be respected and revered. I think mushrooms have a lot to teach us. And I think microdosing can be really life-saving for people.

And, you know, especially if you do it in a guided way, be responsible with it, have somebody who really knows what they're doing and talking about, and probably not just a homie, but like, you know, if you could have somebody put you on a protocol, it can be really affirming and help to So the concept of neuroplasticity is I think the ability for our brains to form new pathways.

And like if you're in a depressive path. Right. That something like psilocybin, for example, mushrooms. can act as like fresh snow on the ski slopes of your brain and allow you to go down a different path to see things from a different angle. Um, and it's not for everybody. It would, you know, it's not a one size fits all approach, but it has, I think helped me in seeing things as half full.

And it's, it's, it's not something that you need to do all the time. And Yeah, I sound like a massive mushroom head.

Yeah. Like marijuana doesn't agree with me. Right. So I'm not somebody that can like do that. For some people, it really relaxes them and that's great. To each their own. Yeah. But I think microdosing can be positive for some people for sure. How did we get on that topic?

I was like spirituality, religion, psychedelics.

The first woman that comes to mind is my Aunt Connie. She is like, I'm so fortunate to have a tribe of people that have raised me. My mom is an amazing woman and she makes me so proud with. teaching me, showing me through her actions that people can change and you can pivot and you can be your best self at any age. And it's so inspiring.

And my Aunt Connie is definitely like another mother figure in my life. And I would say her and my Uncle Dale were parental figures to me and the most stable foundation that I had throughout my life. I would run to them, literally run to them from, you know, where I was living in Foxborough down to their house where I'd ride my bike and I'd be like, you know, can I just be here?

And, you know, can you adopt me? And she has just, I don't know how she does everything that she does from raising two boys and being an amazing real estate agent and cooking like Martha Stewart and, you know, putting up all the decorations and always just making me feel the most at home. So just being so kind to everybody and, So I think that she's definitely an inspiration to me.

And I think of different female executives that I've encountered in my life and how they do things. They're probably more effective sometimes than not. Some of the male executives that I would agree. And they also do it in their own unique way. The way they wield their femininity and use that in such a dope way. And then also, I mean, we all possess the masculine and feminine.

And I'm just it's been so cool to see that dance.

Yeah. We're really close. And she came to see Moulin Rouge 11 times over the... She's your number one fan.

They are my number one fans. Yeah. Between last year and this year, when I did my limited engagements at Moulin Rouge, I was like, you're coming again?

You sure you want to see this? It's the same show. She's like, it's different. I notice something different every time. I'm like, oh my God.

And I would love to originate a role and to also – more than anything, more than just like being the star because I actually – sometimes it feels really nice to be behind the scenes. And I think the older I get, the more I would really like to actually just help support people to use my resources and my experience to see something come to fruition where I don't need to be the face of it.
