Welcome to Episode 8, our final episode of Two Wives and A SPARK Season 4!
Today we offer some thoughts and reflections on going inward as we navigate these complex times and prepare ourselves for this holiday season.
We invite you to listen in as we share:
Our thoughts on this question from one of our wonderful listeners: “Two Wives and a Spark! Do you have Thanksgiving advice for everyone, I guess, but me specifically? I’m super down post-election and am not super excited about hosting people who voted for the felon…I am stressed about it.”
Some food for thought on boundaries
And more

James Baldwin quotes:
"You think your pains and your heartbreaks are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who have ever been alive."
“The great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do.”
Kamala Harris quote “Let their determination be our charge. And I'll close with this. There's an adage a historian once called a law of history, true of every society across the ages. The adage is, only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time, but for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But here's the thing, America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars.” (full speech)

Quote: “Listening creates a holy silence. When you listen generously to people, they can hear truth in themselves, often for the first time. And in the silence of listening, you can know yourself in everyone. Eventually, you may be able to hear, in everyone and beyond everyone, the unseen singing softly to itself and to you.” - Rachel Naomi Remen, MD

You’ll be hearing more from us when the first episode drops next week, but we wanted to share that the theme for this year is all about holding space for duality and this idea that two things can be true at the same time; we’ll talk about finding our way through seasons of growth, and more.
Episodes will drop weekly for this season. Each week we’ll share a question or a topic that we’re grappling with and do some learning in public in real time.
We definitely want this to be a conversation so please continue to connect with us via audio messages, DMs, emails, and let us know what is on your heart and mind.
