“Why, when we humans have such a great capacity for caring, consciousness, and creativity, has there been so much cruelty, insensitivity, and destructiveness? Has it ever been different, and can it be different again?” These are the questions that fueled Riane Eisler passion for her work and for her vision of a world where we could return to a more equitable partnership society. 

Riane is one of the mothers of feminism and she has a life time’s worth of incredible work behind her. We are so honored to have had this insightful, heartfelt conversation with her.

What does it mean to be perfect? We have no idea! And maybe that’s for the best. In this weeks episode we explore perfectionism and what it feels like to try and loosen the grip we have on the idea that anything we do will ever be “perfect.”

Join us as we sit down to reflect on the last two conversations we had with Rebecca Bradshaw and Francis Weller, we got so much out of those talks we had to circle back around to dive in a little deeper. 

We also talk about the ways we can reclaim ur power through what we buy, who we call and the little steps we all can take day to day. 

We can not recommend the 5 Calls App strongly enough!! Use your voice, call your reps, take your power back!!

Yay Francis is back!!! Join us as we sit down once more with psychotherapist, writer and grief activist Francis Weller. In this episode we talk about accessible, actionable steps we can take to feel less powerless, the importance of learning the language of grief, slowing down to the speed of the soul and so much more. As always we delve into these seemingly heavier topics with nothing but love and little humor along the way. We’re here to embrace it all.

Join us for a heartfelt conversation with Rebecca Bradshaw inspired by her recently published book Down to Earth Dharma: Insight Meditation to Awaken the Heart. We get into the juicy topics of cultivating trust, the heart expanding beauty of vulnerability and reframing the thinking minds need for “control” and how that allows us to soften into enchantment.
