And we’re back! It’s 2024, and it’s going to be a big year. I thought that it would be fun to have one of my favorite guests back on the show, Harvey Ruderian. Harvey is a bodyworker in his profession, but to me he is an elder, a lover of life, a mystic, and a generous soul with such pure and deep wisdom. 

With that, we have a circuitous conversation today about politics and consciousness on multiple levels of abstraction. 

We discuss:

  • Differentiation vs. separation
  • Wounds in the West
  • How we can use politics for healing/growth
  • What kind of transformation we’re up for
  • Disidentifying from party ideologies
  • How this time can serve us as a collective
  • Indigenous vs Western views on community, our collective issues & politics


Thanks for listening!

Stuff You Should Know
Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
