Spiritual Grit

Where are you placing your focus? What is your part in the collective fight for liberation? 

In this week's episode, I talk about how it's important for us to ask lots of questions. How we need to remember that there is much more beyond the frame of our screens. It's not all death and destruction. There is joy and love to be found. Where are we focusing our attention and energy? What do we want to amplify in our lives?

“What is your purpose?” This question stresses out a lot of people. There seems to be a lot of big expectation applied to this question. But maybe it's not that deep. Maybe it's not as magnanimous as we think it is. Tune into this week's episode as I offer different ways of considering our life's purpose… and how that can help our efforts towards collective liberation, even if our efforts feel too small or insignifi...

There are things in our lives that have been there for so long we can't imagine life without them, whether it's a relationship, a job, or even a particular way of doing things. What will life look like without capitalism, for example? What are new ways of interacting with each other?

Sometimes this thing can be what holds you back, what weighs you down or keeps you small. Other times, it can be the thing that asks you to ris...

With so many blazing fires in the world and the constant upheaval in our daily lives, it's easy to get overwhelmed by what we think needs to get done. What protest do I go to? Do I sit and meditate to help the collective frequency? Do I do both? How? What if nothing I do actually affects any kind of change? 

But the real question is: how can we focus on what feeds and nourishes us? Yes, we must continue to fight for collective l...

What's your relationship to money? What about all of your possessions? Have you examined the importance you might place on these things? Why is it important? Does it bring up stickiness or discomfort? Can money do good and heal the collective? (And I don't mean this in the literal sense.) How can this kind of inquiry help the fight for lîbérätîon?

While we're at it, I talk about my GoFundMe page, why I'm running ...

It's a challenge to find inspiration while living in the center of a crumbling émpîre. It's a challenge to remain hopeful while despair pulls us down as the gën/oside in Pal/est/ine continues. But we must continue to dream and imagine - what does the new liberated world look like? How do we keep hope? The short of it is: we need each other more than ever. Tune in to this week's episode to hear more!

With so much upheaval going on and so many fires to put out, it's easy for us to get wrapped up in despair or hopelessness. It's easy for us to get fixated on our activist work and forget about joy. In this week's episode, I talk about how essential it is for us to be present in the now while also looking and imagining a liberated future. We need the sweetness of our lives in order to remember why we're doing this w...

I hate to state the obvious, but we live in a divisive time. Everyone is quick to pick a fight or react with sharpness, even harm. Everyone is in hyper-survival mode. So how are we supposed to create communities of care when we're too busy cutting each other down? How can softness help us remember our common humanity?

In this week's episode, I share some insights I learned while laid up in bed for two weeks with the worst case of th...

As each day passes and émpïré claws for desperate gasps for life by inflicting more and more harm, it's becoming more and more crucial for us to speak out, to speak truth, to take aligned action. But it can be scary and uncomfortable, activating our sympathetic nervous systems to alert mode. In order for our fight for lîbérätîon to be sustainable, we must listen to our bodies, root down into the Earth, and support ourselves wit...

In this week's episode, I'm talking about the importance of sharing our individual gifts and wisdom so that we can co-create a world of liberation. How speaking our truth is crucial to this work. And if we are to build communities of care, we need to remember that communication is a two-way street. It's not just about being clear in what you have to say; it's also about deep listening. When we can consciously collab...

How do you know what you don't know? How can you bring unconscious patterns to the surface if you don't even know they're there? How can you hear yourself amidst all the noise?

Winter is hibernation season. A time when we are meant to get quiet and cozy. But our capitalist society does not allow for that. Between holiday sales and the pressure socialize at Christmas parties, how can we even hear ourselves think?

So many people want to speak out for social justice and for the liberation of all. So many want to speak their deepest truths. But many don't. Because it can be scary. What's at risk when we speak our truths? What's at stake? Are we willing to contend with the results of our truth telling? Even if that includes losing friends and family? What do those consequences look like?
