EP 2.01 - The Stories We Need Right Now: Hands-Dirty Hope
We are living in a world that currently feels unsettled, to say the least.
At best, people seem confused. At worst, frozen, or acting out. There is so much anger and uncertainty in the air.
One way I’m coping is by returning to art and story. Because here is what I know: Stories are more than enter…
EP 2.02 - Raising Your Hand: Finding Power in the Full Light of Day with Kriste Peoples
There are moments in life–many moments if we’re lucky–when we outgrow an old form. What once felt right starts to feel too small. Something inside insists: there’s more than this.
So the seed cracks. The old form gives way. And in that small rupture, something wild, something true begins to reach f…
EP 2.03 - The Practice of Caring Out Loud with Samara Bay
I was a shy and intense kid. The kind who always wants to sit at the grownups table instead of running around with the other kids.
But I noticed early on that my intensity could confuse or overwhelm others, so I learned how to be me more quietly. I poured my caring into outlets that wanted me there…
EP 2.04 - Creating Containers: From Field Kitchens to Yoga Studios with Fiona Donovan
Picture two spaces.
In one, a field kitchen bubbles over with life. Under a makeshift tent, pots clatter, onions hiss on a portable hot plate, and someone’s calling out, “We need more rice!” A neighbor who's just lost everything ladles soup for another who’s just walked miles through mud.
In the s…

EP 2.05 - Incomplete Power: Keeping Your Wisdom Online
This morning, I was halfway through my meditation when it finally clicked. Not in a big, ah-ha way. More like a little sigh.
Yup. I’m scared.
I didn’t know that’s what it was at first. I thought it was just the news, the state of the world, other people’s incompetence making me feel so off. (Yup …
EP 2.06 - Walking Each Other Home: Power, Elderhood, and Belonging with Shirley Showalter
There are times in the world and in our lives when hope feels abstract. Maybe there’s a little ironic detachment. Maybe it’s more of a passive wish than taking action.
And there’s nothing wrong with wishing. But what I’m craving, and what I believe we need more than ever, is the kind of hope that…
EP 2.07 - Seen, Known, and Valued: Sarabeth Bickerton on Naming Your Uniqueness
It was two and a half years ago, but I can still taste it—that mix of confusion, grief, fear, and exasperation from the job hunt after a layoff.
I kept hearing the same things:
“You’re overqualified.”“You don’t quite fit this role.”“Your resume doesn’t really make sense.”
Externally, I wanted to pu…
EP 2.08 - Arriving in Your Power with Brooke Edwards
Do you know what it would feel like to arrive in your power?
We talk about power like it's a destination but I don't think that that's true. I mean, I have had clear, undeniable moments that I can point to and say, yes, that was me. I was lightning. But much more often, it's so much subtler than th…
EP 2.09 - Permission to Become: A Love Letter to Your Power
I keep noticing something in my work, in my friendships, even in myself: so many people are starving for permission.
Permission to rest. To stop performing all the time. To tell the truth.
Permission to become stranger, more tender, more sweet. Permission to become more fully themselves.
So many of…
