Ep. 72 - Being gay in East Africa - a coffee with Paul Canary Kanyamu
Like you, I’ve been watching in horror at the brutality of the laws that have been introduced in Uganda in recent months and seeing how these laws have affected the lives of our global LGBTIQA+ family in East Africa. I want to give a voice to those whose lives have been turned upside down by these laws and whose very lives are threatened by living outside of the closet. Come and join me and the amazing Paul Canary Kanyamu on this episode of Connection over Coffee with The Loneliness Guy, and let’s listen to how life is for our family in East Africa and what asks us to do to support our LGBTIQA+ family there. About Paul Canary Kanyamu: Paul Canary Kanyamu was born in western Uganda and he’s 26 years old. Paul’s a Humanitarian Volunteer and Human Rights Defender. He fights for and champions the rights of LGBTIQA+ persons including Queer Refugees. Paul is very active on LinkedIn and that’s how we found each other. He highlighted the struggles of living in Kakuma Refugee Camp and brought attention to the dangers to life experienced daily. He was resettled in Canada under that country’s refugee resettlement program in April 2023. Paul now wishes to study and gain his Master’s Degree in Social Work, International Development, and Disaster Management and continues to advocate for the welfare and wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ people in East Africa.

Let’s see what we can learn from their insights before we’re the ones dispensing advice in the same way. Come and get that quick shot of connection goodness and let’s get groovy.

Ep. 70 - Loneliness, connection & polyamory - a coffee with Kevin Martin
One of the great things about being gay and queer is that we can question and challenge the norms of the heterosexual society. This includes how we choose to define our relationships. This is true of exploring open relationships and polamory. Non-standard relationships can be a source of connection and loneliness. While exciting, it can feel like we’re not sure how to navigate relationships that serve us and help us feel connected. Come and join me and Kevin Martin on this episode of Connection over Coffee with The Loneliness Guy, and let’s get you some tools to navigate discussions about open relationships and polyamory. About Kevin Martin: Kevin is a gay farmer from northwest Ohio who's ventured into the world of psychology to live out his personal mission of helping people around the world know that they are loved. He's a mental health coach who operates his own private practice called SafeHaus Counseling & Coaching. Through his practice, he helps LGBTQ+ folx, particularly gay men, explore their mental well-being through such topics as sexual empowerment, open relationships and consensual non-monogamy, and radical self-care. He lives in Hawai’i and enjoys CrossFit, indoor rock climbing, and spending deep quality time with his friends and family.

Ep. 68 - Loneliness & taking unsafe risks - a coffee with Dr Shayna Skakoon-Sparling
Loneliness drives your behaviours. We can want sexual connection so much that loneliness can make you and I take potentially unsafe risks in the hope to feel any kind of connection. You and I – indeed, the community – need to have a conversation about this so we live our lives as gay and queer men without putting ourselves at risk of HIV and STIs. I’ve found the perfect guest to join us for this episode. Dr Shayna Skakoon-Sparling works within our community to help you make better decisions for your sexual health and wellbeing. Come and join me and Dr Shayna now on this episode of Connection over Coffee with The Loneliness Guy, and let’s get you making less risky decisions when you’re feeling lonely. Grab a coffee in your favourite mug and join us now. About Dr Shayna Skakoon-Sparling: Professionally, Dr Shayna (she/her/elle) is an applied social psychologist and an incoming assistant professor in the psychology department at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. Her research explores the importance of social connection and how seeking social connection and intimacy can impact sexual health decision making among sexual minority men. For example, some of her work has examined how having sources of social support can buffer guys against the negative impact of sexual minority stress. Some of her other work looks at how trying to cope with loneliness can lead folks to agree to sex that isn't particularly fulfilling and that can put their health at risk – she’s currently working on a set of SSHRC-funded studies to explore this more deeply and to look at ways to help guys cope more effectively with loneliness.

Ep. 64 - Connecting with our bodies - a coffee with Andreas
One of the most common things that you and other gay men in this community tell me is that you have a difficult relationship with your body. This poor relationship can get in the way of you really connecting with your self: an important component of you feeling connected and less lonely. It's time to change that. Come and join me and Andreas from Andreas Embodiment on this episode of Connection over Coffee with The Loneliness Guy, and let’s talk about your relationship with your body and some tips to help you begin the process of feeling connected to your wonderful body. Grab a coffee – or an enormous tea – and join us now. About Andreas: Andreas is a gay, bisexual and queer men's sex and spirituality coach. He is a 500hr advanced yoga teacher and certified Self Pleasure Practitioner. Andreas sees sexual and spiritual energy as two sides of the same coin. When these two powerful forces in our body are separated, it leads to lack of confidence, disconnection and suffering as LGBTQ+ men. Andreas guides men through human design, nude yoga, tantra and spiritual healing so they can merge their sex and spirit to attract the right guys into their life, feel good taking their shirt off at the beach, and feel on-purpose in their careers & businesses. He works online with men all over the world or in-person in Canberra and Sydney.

Ep. 60 - Loneliness after coming out - a coffee with Shaun Williams
Loneliness can feel like a constant companion when we’re in the closet. But what about the loneliness we experience – and perhaps aren’t prepared for – AFTER we come out? What did you do to feel accepted and belonging in the community? Let’s explore the loneliness we can feel after we come out in this conversation with my friend, Shaun Williams of Bent Couch Counselling. Grab a coffee and join me and Shaun and listen to his beautiful story. About Shaun: Born in country Victoria and father to four kids, Shaun finally admitted to himself and his family that he was gay in 2019. In working to overcome the challenges his new life presented, he started an international peer support group for 800 formerly married gay men with kids - Gay Fathers Worldwide. Realising life had more to offer, Shaun gave up his long-term career in public health construction and embarked on a new vocation as mental health professional servicing the needs of the LGBTQIA+ community. In 2022 he launched his own company Bent Couch Counselling which has successfully helped many men overcome many issues including anxiety, depression and loneliness. Shaun is a local leader in the Melbourne gay community as deputy Chair of the City of Port Philip LGBTQIA+ Advisory Committee and the Small business director for Globe Victoria which assists LGBTQIA+ communities, small businesses and professionals to connect. Later this year he has been invited to speak at the Australian Counselling Conference. Shaun lives in Melbourne with his new partner and is living his best life.

But as is so often the case when conversations are real, open and honest, it went where it needed to go: we spoke on how loneliness has shown up in our lives and how it’s fuelled connection for each of us, how we came to live together, and how each of us approaches life individually and as part of this team.
