The Glorious Mess
The Glorious Mess is a storytelling space for the ones who grew up in chaos and still became something. Hosted by Raymond Jordan Johnson-Brown — a social worker-in-training and multi-hyphenate creative — the show explores the power of story: the ones we lived, the ones we hid, and the counter-stories we’re claiming now.
Each episode sits in narrative, not advice. You’ll hear lived experience, moments of meaning-making, and conversations that open space for listeners to draw their own conclusions. Every season brings a new guest host as we talk healing, identity, and all the messy, brilliant ways people rebuild their lives.

Dreaming in a Political World
In this episode of The Glorious Mess, we hold nothing back. From rising polarization to the fragility of the systems we live in, we dig into the current reality of Canadian politics and why it's more urgent than ever to stay awake and engaged. No system is perfect, but as we imagine and build alternatives, we also reckon with where we are right now.
And then… we dream.
We explore the quiet language of dreams—what they reveal about our fears, our futures, and our relationship to a world in flux.
Tune in for raw truth, wild imagination, and a little chaos.
Because dreaming is political.
