Deconstruct To Curiocity

- Can we reclaim "Conservative" Language?

- Can we borrow "Christian" terms & lingo?

- Can we social justice our way out of physiological burdens?

- It is irresponsible to rid ourselves of all expectations that don't feel like fit us?

- Can masculine energy really be toxic? Or is it just toxic behavior?

- What does it mean to "take a back seat" as someone with "privileged identities"?

- Does being mixed give us a leg up on finding nuance?

- Are we able to place nuance where there is none (or so we think)?

In today's episode, Lauren + Adam discuss: 

- A family member recently telling us they think we are going to hell.

- We chat about how everyone we know, makes an exception for a loved one that passes - believing they’ve gone to heaven, regardless of religious belief. No one attends a funeral of a loved one saying, “Too bad they’re in hell”.

- Believing someone is going to hell, without being upset about it means you’re either entirely unloving or you don’t really believe it.

- We compare the Bible to Tarot cards.

- How the art of learning feels spiritual. Not needing to embody or believe it, for information to have significance.

In this episode, Lauren + Adam discuss:

- Being present and the distraction of technology.

- We touch on cancel culture.

- We ask if being physically present is even necessary in the future.

- If you keep following your curiosity - eventually, someone might ged mad. How to handle that.

- We discuss how to align with someone in the way their brain asks questions - Not the conclusions they come to.

-  We navigate the difficulty of asking uncomfortable questions online, because IRL conversations are far less cancel-able.

- We talk about our younger selves and what our inner child is telling us.

In this episode, Lauren + Adam discuss:

- Lauren's personal experience from the social chaos that occurred after a photo with some of her close friends, celebrating liberation from purity culture, was shared online.

- This entire experience from start to finish is incredibly nuanced + we couldn't possibly cover everything. We hope you hear our hearts.

- Adam speaks on allowing others to live in their joy.

- We discuss that many people find themselves - again - giving away their power, and lacking voice or opinion after leaving church culture. How they choose to be lead by a select few that check off new boxes to make them believe they posses no self-identifying discernment. What we can do instead...

- A lot of white folks don't consider the fact that they have ancestors too. We talk about how to tap into that and why it is so necessary to stop perpetuating performative behavior that lacks critical thinking.

In this episode Lauren + Adam discuss:

- How healthy masculinity actually encourages play. 

- Subverting appropriation by reclaiming your OWN heritage. Adam shares on his search for his Norse ancestors' spiritual practices.

- Reimagining Spirituality as a contemporary Indigenous woman (Lauren).

- What true healthy masculinity looks like. Aka - Knowing, caring for, providing for, interceding for others in times where they don’t or can’t for themselves. It’s a protection energy we can aspire to. Adam opens up about his struggle to embrace his masculinity in today's world.

- Embracing that time is not linear. Not only do we have ancestors. But we ARE our ancestors. And the best way to connect with them is first to connect with & love ourselves.

In this episode, Lauren + Adam Discuss:

- Finding spirituality through humanity.

- Desperate times call for desperate prayers.

- Choosing to explore the spirituality of our ancestors - what they believed that they could be interacting + interfacing with to bring growth + healing in the world.

- It takes some bravery to speak boldly on something. It takes the greatest bravery to be vulnerable enough to stand for something AND allow space for that to change.
