17. Mirrors of Meaning: Gathering Ourselves in A Messy World

Could the way we come together in community be the key to reimagining what’s possible? 

In this solo episode, I’m weaving together threads of thought inspired by an incredible conversation between Priya Parker and Prentice Hemphill on power, love, and the art of gathering. What does it mean to create spaces that spark transformation and help us imagine a new way forward? How do we hold onto what’s good in community while challenging the systems that isolate us? 

Tune into this episode to hear: 

• Why gathering with intention can help us make meaning across difference

• How saying the quiet parts loud invites intimacy, belonging, and transformation

• The role of "pop-up rules" in creating spaces where we can suspend limitations and practice new ways of being

• Why endings deserve just as much intention as beginnings

• How power and love interact, especially in the digital age

Whether it’s a yoga class, a family dinner, or a grassroots movement, this episode explores how we can design gatherings that reflect our shared humanity and create ripple effects in the world. 

As always, this is a space for curiosity, imagination, and the relentless pursuit of joy and liberation.
