    Nov 20 2024

    Lots of people are urging us to build community in order to work towards a better world in the face of a new US administration. But what does that mean exactly? How does one build a community? What even IS a community? In this week's episode, I'm sharing ideas on community and ways to build it. But more importantly, we need to understand that it is built on mutual love, trust, and support. Tune in to learn more!

  • Ep 255 - We Have Trained For This
    Nov 13 2024

    Now that we've had a week to digest, it’s time to focus on the task at hand. We need to remember our training. (Do I sound like Yoda? Haha)

    So many of us have signed up for trainings and workshops and classes centered around healing ourselves, from yoga to meditation to sound healing. A lot of folks have even learned about astrology and human design and herbalism. This is a sign of us returning to I wear Roots, to returning to our relationship with ourselves and with the Earth.

    Now is the time for those practices to be applied to the greater whole, to the collective. This is what we have been training for. What does that even mean? Tune into this week's episode to learn more!

  • Ep 244 - The Day After
    Nov 6 2024

    If you're feeling lost or enraged or grieving or any combination of emotions, I have a message of hope for you in this week's episode. As naive as that might sound. But first, today, give yourself the space to take care of yourself, to process all that you are experiencing, to nourish and restore yourself. Get coffee with a friend. Take a nap. Ground yourself on the earth (literally put your bare feet on the ground). Breathe. Because tomorrow, we continue the fight for líbératión.

    Tune in to find out how!
