#beyondFLG

In this episode, Dr. Chinchilla Garfunkel and Dr. Simon go #beyondFLG with Dr. Megan Gavin to learn more about the similarities, or dissimilarities, between nematodes and humans, to learn more about the seedy underbelly of '90's era talk shows like Jenny Jones, and to get to the bottom of Dr. Gavin's path away from biology and toward psychology.

Dr. Megan Gavin, aka the Great Gavsky, earned a B.S. degree in Biology from Indiana University, an M.A. degree in Community Counseling from NAU, and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from NAU, aka the Harvard of the West. She is currently the director of Counseling Services at NAU which includes a wide range of job responsibilities in addition to seeing clients clinically. Additionally, The Great Gavsky is treasurer for the Northern Arizona Psychological Society (NAPS). Megan is from the hoosier state of Indiana and bares a strong resemblance in appearance and personality to Elaine Bennis...think Seinfeld. In this episode you'll get to witness this resemblance in radio format while also getting details about her life path and her experience as a guest on Jenny Jones.

What is #beyondFLG?

Flagstaff is a remarkable place full or remarkable people. Some may even say that Flagstaff is the best place on Earth and some may say that such a statement is hyperbolic. Either way, there is no other place exactly like it, and that includes the people that contribute to it. Flagstaff is full of people with diverse backgrounds that possess a wide range of interests, skills, and stories. This variety of interests, skills, and stories contributes to the textured and unique feel of the area.

#BeyondFLG is a podcast aimed at highlighting the natural beauty of this region and the peoples that contribute to it. Some may describe this podcast as award winning based on the badges given to it through the podcast platform while others may say that the show is underproduced and overstated. #beyondFLG is hosted by two local psychologists and founders of Beyond the Pines, A Flagstaff Wellness Collective; Cody Bayles and Dan Phillips. Their values lie in promoting connection to self, others, and the natural world and their efforts occasionally hit somewhere near that mark, let’s say adjacent to it. Join them as they go #beyondFLG with members of the Flagstaff community and explore the overall connection to the area, their craft, and others.
