Time for another encore! Ep.80 is even more relevant now than when I recorded it one year ago. In the updated intro, I share audio from Saturday's Hands Off Protest in Flagstaff, Arizona. It was one of over 1400 protests around the globe where over 5 million individuals said aw-hell-no to the Trump regime's patriarchal power flex. Daddy issues are alive in the zeitgeist right now and, like it or not, they are shaping our collective responses...

I'm doing a lot of deep breathing lately and I know I’m not alone. A helluva lot of Americans are feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, and preoccupied by a single question: What can I possibly do in response to a billionaire-funded fascist coup? Long-time friend of the pod, Susan McCulley, is here to help us find a few answers to that question. No, she's not a seasoned activist or recognizable political figure; she's an everyday...

This week on TDP… an encore presentation of an episode I dropped almost two years ago. Ep.59 is ripe for a reboot because fascism has come for America and much of what I speak to in this drop has become an everyday norm. I re-recorded the intro to reflect our current reality, and I hope you listen to the end, where I take a closer look at tone policing and why it works to silence us. (The right knowledge can help us to beat them at their own...

Some of you may be relieved to hear that today's release will turn our attention away from current events, circling back to a 'cult'ure series topic that is yet-unfinished. I recorded the bookend portions of this episode a couple of weeks ago, just as I was wrapping up my first term of graduate study at ASU. I was still actively recovering from Covid, but I sat down to press record anyway. I was feeling fired up and eager to share some recent...
I'm back. Because silence isn't an option right now. In this episode, I share how graduate study / critical inquiry into leadership and social psychology is helping me make sense of an upside-down world. Groupthink, aka hive mind, isn't just a 'culty' thing. For better and for worse, conformity happens everywhere along the political spectrum. I speak to how unspoken "display rules" keep us from speaking up, then make the argument that...

Hi friends. My apologies for the long lag time between episodes. I've been laid out with Covid for two weeks, and I'm just now coming up for air. 🥴 AND I'm finally sharing this convo that Monica Welty & I recorded back on January 29th. It's the first drop in a new series, Togethering, where I'll be inviting friends - both new and old - to chat out what's most alive for us in the moment. And in this moment in the U.S., a literal...
