I love the conversation Laverne’s admission has given rise too. A lot of it is shallow and obvious in its call to action (cancel Laverne) so I’d like to provide a deeper perspective rooted in compassion and consideration. I discuss: 

• Dating Across Political Lines
• The Intersection of Politics and Dating
• How people relate to their oppressors
• The Challenges Faced by Black Trans Women
• How black folks relate to white folks
• Dating preferences within a white supremacist world

The thoughts I unpack: 

• Race obsession is wasting my time
• White supremacy is a game you only win if you refuse to play
• the power of focus and attention in how my reality shapes itself around me

Abraham Hicks’ Law of Attraction methodology is great. But what about its limitations? This episode explores this question through a Reddit post and listener feedback. I discuss: 

• the importance of cultural contexts in spiritual teachings
• race and visibility in the spiritual industry
• healing vs self blame
• fate vs free will
• energy exchanges
• reality transurfing and pendulums

Hi!!! Been practicing processing my emotions and wanted to discuss that process: 

• self concept and self esteem is directly related to your in/ability to process emotions
• emotions aren’t identities
• the power of envy
• how language obscures understanding - autistic vs allistic speech: direct and literal vs indirect and metaphorical
• body domination is colonial
• reconnecting with your body
• embodiment precedes emotional processing 
• body pendulums as divination

There are MANY ways to worldbuild outside of giving money. There's a lot of spiritual action you can take, to be discussed. For physical action Google "how to help Palestine" or check out this resource: https://devonprice.medium.com/heres-a-long-list-of-actions-you-can-take-for-palestine-e63fa0d3bd70

Words fail in a genocide. Palestinians, my heart is with you and I am so so sorry. Israeli and Jewish allies, I think of you too. Standing up for what's right is probably costing you your community and relationships... I want to acknowledge that cost. Thank you

So it turns out lies - even the little white ones - have immense consequences on our abilities to build a self esteem! I discuss how lying:

• challenges our sense of personal authority
• decentres ourselves
• is a form of manipulation that robs others of choice
• causes moral injury
• builds an immoral and cowardly world
• has short term social benefits but long term self-esteem consequences
