“Are you calling me a coward?” – was a phrase told to me in a story recently that I had to raise my eyebrows for — for various reasons.
It did make me reflect on two things. One, on the value of defining what courage is for us. Two, how we have to check ourselves when something we hear provokes a strong reaction.
This is what I talk about in my episode!
In it, I invite you to reflect on what courage is for you, to see if you’re taking conscious steps towards being the person you’d like to be (while being a full and worthy individual right now, of course).

How Do We Choose to Operate in Times of Fascism?
Fascism has never been a thing of the past; now, to disregard it means to disengage from reality. As international law has crumbled, Israel is still destroying Gaza, and masked agents are snatching people of the streets in the U.S., I invite you to ask yourself how you choose to show up in this reality.

The Fires, The Multiple Fires
“Let everything burn, except your desire to fight” – my year started with this writing that I saw in a beautiful graffiti project.
