What This Documentary Teaches Us About Being Human

Episode Focus: Come See Me in the Good Light (Documentary Deep Dive) Host: Coco (solo episode)

In this deeply reflective solo episode of Parallel Frequencies, Coco steps in while Blane is traveling to deliver a powerful, emotionally resonant discussion of the documentary Come See Me in the Good Light. What begins as a film analysis unfolds into a profound meditation on life, love, art, grief, and what it truly means to live fully—even in the face of death.

The episode centers on the life and work of poet Andrea Gibson, whose battle with terminal cancer becomes the backdrop for a story that is ultimately about living with intention, vulnerability, and generosity. Coco explores how the documentary balances grief with humor, poetry with everyday mundanity, and pain with profound beauty—highlighting the love story between Andrea and their wife Megan as the emotional anchor of the film.

Drawing from themes of seasonality, spirituality, and artistic expression, Coco reflects on mortality not as an ending, but as a catalyst for deeper presence and gratitude. The conversation also touches on mental health, suicide awareness, and the importance of accessible support—dedicating the episode to the organization Promise to Live and encouraging listeners to engage with its mission.

This episode invites listeners to sit with discomfort, honor emotion, and reconsider how they show up in their own lives—without waiting for a crisis to begin truly living.
