Self-care, Self-preservation, and the Privilege to Know the Difference - S1E9
We are so excited to be back! Join Des and Em as they talk about the differences between self-preservation and self-care and how they are navigating what’s happening in the world.
"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” Rooted in the quote from Audre Lorde's book of essays, A Burst of Light, this episode unpacks what it really means to preserve yourself.

About Mejor Sola: Des and Em are two Latinx female-identifying storytellers who love deeply...and have had their hearts broken by others. Growing up, there are frameworks for love that are heavily shaped by machismo, religion, culture, and tradition. This kind of love is tied to sacrifice and service. Learning love in this way has made it extremely challenging to make space for self-love and platonic love - love that fuels us and brings us joy and not simply for others. Love for ourselves. Most of all, a love that does not require self-sacrifice in order to be celebrated.
Intro and outro music is “Little Latin Jazz” by oymaldonado.
