Ep 23: If you’ve ever felt pressured to turn your healing into progress or wondered why living in alignment often feels like swimming upstream—this episode will shift something deep in your bones. Ximena is a Mexican philosopher and regenerative design practitioner who breaks down how we internalize extraction, and why returning to rhythm is more than self-care—it’s system disruption. Together, we explore how reclaiming our cyclical nature is part of what might actually save us.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• Why linear time is a cultural invention that disconnects us from ourselves and our natural rhythm
• The ways we can find the cracks to break the toxic ideas of separatism, commodification of our bodies, and patriarchal exploitation
• How perfectionism and “optimization” sneak into healing spaces—and how to root them out
• Why the language you use matters- and our issue with “biohacking”

This isn’t about escaping the system or fixing yourself so you can re-enter it stronger. It’s about choosing, again and again, to live in a way that honors your body, your community, and the Earth.
