00:21:01From Questioning to Writing
In this episode, I sit down with my teacher, Jaime Erickson. We talk about the quiet moment in a hospital room with her Grandpa that first taught her to question authority, why she came to distrust systems — from hospitals to organized religion — that fail to see the person behind the process, and how that instinct eventually led her to writing and to teaching as a way of cultivating critical thinking itself. It's a conversation about care, systems, and what it really means to ask "why".
