What if you could break free from the toxic elements of culture and reclaim your sense of self? Join us for an enlightening conversation with Laura, founder of Public Love Enterprises, as we explore the concept of cultural detoxing and how it can empower us to overcome the constraints of systems like capitalism and patriarchy. Learn how Laura's journey of self-discovery and healing has transformed her life and the lives of those around her.

Our discussion takes a turn towards resilience and self-care as Laura shares her incredible story of escaping an abusive ex-husband and becoming an amputee. She reveals how she manages her various projects, including running her own company and hosting three podcasts, all while prioritizing her own well-being and helping others in need. We also discuss the challenges of navigating life with a prosthetic device and the importance of staying resilient.

Finally, we reflect on the potential dangers of the "saving the world" narrative and its impact on our mental and physical health. Discover how coming from a place of care and love when engaging in activism can lead to more sustainable change, and how reconnecting with our bodies after trauma is essential for healing. Don't miss this inspiring episode as we delve into the power of mindfulness and resilience in personal transformation and the importance of slowing down in urgent times.
