Listen Later

1. How to listen to the signals our bodies give us, and other concrete strategies to hold on to being human.

2. The healing power of honoring and reconnecting with our little girl selves and with our Mother Earth.

3. How, if all else fails, we can practice presence and embodiment by talking to a house plant.  

4. The traumatizing effect of purity culture, colonization, and assimilation, and how to come home to the wholeness of our core nature, desire, and wisdom. 

5. Concrete, everyday acts of rebellion that help us regain what we lost, and restore us to who we really are.
