Kindreds

We get real about burnout, how it shows up for us professionally and personally, who is most at risk, and how we are finding ways to move through it: with a lot of compassion, self-love, and some good professional help.Resources we mention:Coaching with Kerry Connelly (https://www.mysticjusticepodcast.com/welcome) Daring Compassion Movement Chaplaincy (https://www.faithmattersnetwork.org/daringcompassion) Vicarious Traumatization (https://proqol.org/uploads/VT_Handout_3.2018.pdf)Compassion Fatigue (http://www.compassionfatigue.org/index.html)Burnout Symptoms (https://traumastewardship.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/when-experiencing-overrwhelm-and-trauma-trauma-stewardship-institute.pdf )

We speak with author Sue Monk Kidd about The Book of Longings, a story of an ancient woman claiming her calling to speak truth. We also talk about our sacred practices outside of patriarchal religion and what spiritual community looks like outside of the institutional church. This is a conversation you will not want to miss. The Book of Longings is now available in paperback. We encourage you to pick up a copy at your favorite independent bookstore or on Bookshop.org.

Episode Summary: We take on one of the big questions of the Christian faith: who is Jesus (to us)? We go back to childhood nativity stories and Easter mornings and bring it to current day, exploring everything we were taught about Jesus the baby, the man, and the divine savior. We talk about theology, pop culture, the pressure to fit in, what salvation is al about, and what it means for us to follow Jesus now (or not).

We look over the last (nearly) four years of recording, share some of our favorite moments in podcasting and in life, and talk about our plans for 2021. We're going to focus on what we do best: looking at the intersections of faith and feminism. We want to talk aboutJesus and who he is to us, what do we mean when we say Christian supremacy, what does liberation mean for ourselves and for everyone? We want to talk about compassion fatigue and burnout, accountability and cancel culture and leave space for some fun stuff too. Stay tuned. As always, we’d love to hear from you, either on our Instagram (@kindredspodcast) or send us an email.

"I exist in a body." This sounds so simple, but it's actually something that Ashley and Katey have recently been exploring and owning. Maybe you can relate. Do you feel like you're just a talking head? Do you feel like the only way to know something is in your mind? Were you taught your body wasn't to be trusted? You'll want to tune into our conversation about how to reconnect body + mind + spirit.Full show notes: http://kindredspodcast.com/2020/11/13/episode-52-embodiment-waking-up-to-our-bodies/

Many of our public libraries, at least the buildings, have been closed for the last few months which has made us mindful of just how much we love them. What might our libraries have to do with defunding the police? Full shownotes: http://kindredspodcast.com/2020/07/27/episode-48-what-do-libraries-have-to-do-with-police-abolition/
