Right Where You Are

A call to love, even if it feels like the world is loveless and burning. An invitation to open your heart, even if it puts you and the risk of betrayal and crucifiction.

Because LOVE IS THE ANSWER. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. LOVE IS THE ANSWER.

Everything I said in episode 1 is true. And the opposite is also... true. Let's play a bit of devil's advocate and find ways to hold polar opposites as true in our hearts. Putting self-responsibility and self-compassion in one basket, creating a magical and revolutionary paradox.

[spontaneous, unscripted & straight from the heart]

Long time no see, my friends!

I am back from a much needed hiatus and we’re kicking off Season 2 with a huge caveat for whenever things get... political.

Let’s be honest, it’s quite difficult to observe the human condition and to be Right Where We Are without noticing that everything (and I mean e👏🏾ve👏🏾ry👏🏾thing👏🏾) is intrinsically connected to the realm of the socio-political. 

In this episode, we explore a new way of thinking/talking about politics that is not divisive and does not result in more conflict. This is a paradigm shifting perspective that can create the liberation we so deeply desire.

Hello! Welcome to season 2.

The theme for the season is Learner Human.

Because that is what I am. A Leaner Human. Awakening. Becoming. Being

I'm excited for what this journey holds for us

Sincerely

Khanyisa

We did it Joe! We've come to the end of season 1 of RWYA... Or maybe we didn't do it Joe. Maybe it's too imperfect to let it come to an end. Are we really going to end the season off on episode 6? With only 3 "full" episodes, and another 3 episodes that basically say the same thing?

YES! Yes we are.

This episode is about allowing our creations to be imperfect, incomplete, messy and... human. We explore the importance of showing up imperfectly, in the fullness of our human expression.

In fact, this was the very lesson the spirit of Right Where You Are wanted to teach. And I'm grateful to have had that be the first.

To many more🥂

Khanyisa

A poem.

An extension of episode 3. I believe in love. I believe in life. And I believe that opening is the way of life/love/god/yonk'into nje.

“SHAME ON YOU!” It seems the whole world is constantly screaming these words at us. “You are unworthy, invalid, inferior.”

This episode takes place at the gym, and I speak about shame and my theories on its origins in human history. I then add my take on it as an unhealthy and unnatural emotion, and definitely not an effective one.

This one’s long and filled with some academic references. I’ve added a bibliography below. I’ve also created a Guide on my Instagram (@khanyis.isibhakabhaka). Otherwise, enjoy. And feel free to shoot me a DM with your own opinions or arguments on this.

With love

Khan
