  • Episode 28: What Happens When We Let Go

    Episode 28: What Happens When We Let Go
    Dec 6 2023
    For the first time in 3 podcast seasons, we came to the table with blank canvases. No topic to explore, no questions or premeditated stories to share, just our open minds and honest thoughts. We let the conversation flow how and wherever it chose, with the hopes that something meaningful could come from it. Tune in now to hear what came up for us, including: • Why we want to get out of our heads and into our bodies to connect with ourselves, one another, and the world more. •What shame and guilt can teach us •What systems of oppression gain when we (especially those identifying as women) ignore our anger • What we’re being intentional about going into 2024 and much more…

    On the day this episode aired, 11/8/2023, many of us continued to observe the horrific genocide of the people of Palestine in Gaza, distressingly. In this episode, Ina and T aim to create space for one other and the podcast audience to promote the importance of community and solidarity in moments such as these. They discuss many topics along with their individual and shared feelings, thoughts, and wonders including: •The role of children and generational trauma • The paradox of oppression - when you’re marginalized and experiencing oppression but want to use your privilege to help • Is being pro-Palestine being anti-Israeli? • The influx of propaganda to spark divisiveness • What we thought about Dr. Umar’s response to the genocide • What we’re walking away with after processing all of the information we've been taking in, and much more… ***𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲*** The title of the Netflix documentary referenced in the episode is 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘎𝘢𝘻𝘢.
