Today we're going to talk about two of the most important things when it comes to meeting our needs, interconnectedness and equity.

Full Show notes: https://bit.ly/WellShitEpisodeGuide

In this episode we cover:

• How ignorant we used to be
• What we mean by interconnectedness
• What happens if we meet our needs in ways that negatively impact others
• What happened for us personally when we ignored interconnectedness
• How we don't live in an equitable society
• What that means for the meeting of our needs, other people to meet their needs, and the affect that has on OUR needs being met too
• Serena's personal experience of being on two different sides of a systemic inequity
• How we're being conditioned by the media to perpetuate these problems
