  • 30. Purpose as the Root of Love

    Hosts Sangodare and Alexis explore the idea of a “loveship” ad a relationship as spiritual practice. They urge listeners to treat purpose as the seed and root of love, contrasting “happily ever after” with “purposefully ever after,” and grounding the discussion in Audrey Lorde’s mantra, “I am who I am doing what I came to do.” They argue that purpose is an ongoing relationship with one’s aliveness that strengthens partner choice, collaboration, and boundaries across romantic and non-romantic connections. They close the episode with a listener Q&A.


    • Purpose as the root of Relationship 
    • Audre Lorde’s Purpose Mantra
    • How Purpose Readies Partnership
    • Finding Resonance in Love
    • Practices to Notice the Miracle

  • 26. Celebrate the Squabble: There is One Right Way to Make a Grilled Cheese Sandwich

    In this episode Alexis and Sangodare offer a relationship practice: “celebrate the squabble,” framing conflict as a generative opportunity for growth rather than something to fear, and grounding it with levity and curiosity.

They close with three North Stars for conflict and announce a March 27–29 Black feminist breathing gathering in Durham with chanting, sound circles, dancing, Sunday School, and a live podcast taping.


    • Celebrate The Squabble
    • Navigating our First Fight
