The Sacred

Why Connection Matters Most in Crisis


Listen Later

In this reflection episode, Elizabeth steps back from interviews to ask: what’s really staying with me from these conversations?

We explore themes of gender, division, fear, and the deep longing for connection in a time when everything can feel like it’s falling apart - politically, socially and spiritually.


We talk about:

  • Why gender is so hard to talk about without blame

  • The “polycrisis” and our collective fight-or-flight

  • How contempt sneaks in and empathy fades

  • Whether old spiritual traditions still have anything to offer

  • And what it takes to stay human (and stay open) in a polarised world
