In this episode Athena and I talk about how scarcity shows up for us on an individual level and on a relationship level. I come to a realization about the use of certain words as triggers within myself, which Athena holds space for me to process. 

Athena is a fat, queer, Afro-Caribbean woman, living with gratitude on the unceded and stolen lands of the ʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. For over a decade she has worked in nonprofit organizations providing one to one support to survivors of violence and trauma. She is a guiding collective member of Fat Panic!: an alliance of people of all sizes who believe in a society in which no one is taught to hate their own or anyone else’s body, for any reason. She is a full-time student, a partner, a parent to two, and in her spare time, the Navigator of Iyapo Station; a book club reading fantasy and science fiction works by BIPOC authors.

I’ve been carrying this message for a while now - thought I’d take some time in the morning to spread some light and love for self. You hold all that is the universe inside of you - so when you’re in awe of external wanders, remember that you’re that too!

Anaya Lambert (she/they) is a first generation ‘Canadian’ ('internal migrant') and a descendant of the transatlantic enslavement trade. Her family immigrated from Guyana to eastern Canada during the initiation of the Canadian Multicultural Policy in 1971 which resulted in an influx of Carribean immigrants seeking a better life in Canada.

Anaya’s work involves historic, intergenerational, and personal trauma recovery, supporting Queer Trans Black Indigenous People of Color (QTBIPOC) in healing through land connection, food sovereignty, and offering anti-racism workshops to help 'Canadians' embody healthy racial identities and reimagine equitable structures of power.

Oooo y'all, this episode gives me 'mom giving you a big hug' vibes. Kendra is so gentle in her words, in her tone and is so very honest about how scarcity mentality shows up in her life. I love the message to 'come back home' that she shares with us - I employ you all to sit with this information and feel it.
