The Bridge Ep 18: A Life of True Fulfillment & Expression with Gia Metric

Chelsea Ruppel Season 1 Episode 18

In this episode we talk about Gia’s experience in and out of the spotlight, how we define ourselves, doing what you value, prioritizing your happiness, being diverse and multi dimensional, taking chances, creating an empowering relationship to your life, allowing space for failure and new perspectives, exploring who you are outside of our art, redefining success and happiness, allowing Art to be a calling, true confidence, healthy ego, tapping into your power as an alchemist every day, staying true to who you are and what makes you happy, doing things for yourself, having a healthy relationship with social media, exploring new creative ventures, sexual + mental health, gender identity and expression and Gia’s thoughts on the future of humanity.


We also discuss the drag industry and how it's changing, alchemizing grief through art, finding aligned community by being yourself, wellness and self care, making music, Gia’s new passion for artistic swimming, the representation of queer community in sports and how being you is always enough.


Gia Metric is a dynamic Canadian drag artist celebrated for her boundary-pushing performances on Canada's Drag Race and in Vancouver's vibrant drag scene, who has recently made waves in the world of international artistic swimming by winning a silver medal just months after starting the sport. As an advocate for sexual health and mental health, Gia’s online presence is rooted in sharing personal stories and education to inspire queer youth. Her multi-passionate personality always keeps us guessing what she will do next!
