Hey, y'all! 👋🏽 I'm back with another DeepStretch experience. Things have come a long way since the December drop; I've since become certified and have been teaching this format regularly at a local studio. Today's release is just that... a spacious experience that will not only strengthen & decompress your joints, but also help settle your nervous system. For best results, do the full sequence from top to bottom once or twice a week....
In this brief solo drop, I speak to a pattern that keeps showing up. I bring a structural critique, and it's a record scratch moment. Crickets in grad school discussion boards. Tumbleweeds on social media posts. Radio silence after podcast episodes that push beyond the simple hero-villain narrative. Avoidance in spaces of so-called "higher" education is common, as are furrowed brows in response to critiques of capitalist wellness grifters, and...
Hey y'all. I stepped away for a couple of months to take a beat, and now I'm back on Patreon with Subject To Change, this time featuring a three-part release. 🪧 - Part 1 - A message for the 'apolitical' among us (including the voice in our own heads). "I don't do politics." What this means, really. In this first bit, I tell you where my mind goes now when apolitical rationale is used as an excuse to disengage from the hard stuff + No Kings...
Hi y'all. Things are off the rails in the U.S., and I'm here because what we need most in dark times is each other. In this release, I'm sharing excerpts from an earlier-this-week Patreon drop where I discuss how I'm coping and making my feelings of outrage actionable, specifically my fury toward federal agencies like ICE and Customs & Border Patrol whose history of violence against citizens of color and undocumented immigrants pre-dates...

Hi y'all. Things are difficult in the U.S. right now, and I'm going to keep showing up because what we need most in dark times is each other. In another unscripted episode of Subject to Change, I tell you how I'm personally coping and making feelings of fury & outrage actionable. I share what I've been learning about the systemic racism and brutality perpetuated by federal agencies like ICE and Customs & Border Patrol, referencing not...
Hi y'all. This episode of STC rolls out in (roughly) four parts: Intro + it's ok to not be okay >> First, I offer a recap of some recent main feed releases, then talk about the real deal struggle to keep showing up in the face of wtf. Personal story >> I share about the time, back in 2010, when a kind-hearted Brit named Lucy changed my relationship to "the other woman" forever. It's a firsthand account of how solidarity can...

November is Native American Heritage Month, and in the lead-in to this week’s convo, I speak about the whitewashing of U.S. history, not to be a Thanksgiving buzzkill (sorry, not sorry), but because truth matters. Then I invite listeners into a conversation that explores the critical differences between Western and Indigenous perspectives on leadership. My guest, Wyatt Kelly, is a young Apache leader, public policy manager, and self-described...
