Join myself and Ian MacKenzie, as we jam on the power of anticapitalist visioning and taking care of ourselves inside capitalism. In this episode, we riff on…
-
The collective "quiet heaviness" and nervous system exhaustion felt in the wake of the Epstein files and global revelations of exploitation.
-
Why Nisha feels a "holy wail" of rage rather than shock, as these headlines mirror patterns women have navigated for a lifetime.
-
The danger of distancing ourselves from "bad actors" and how that prevents us from seeing the micro-ways domination exists in our own communities.
-
Ian's reflection on moving from being a "good man" who points fingers to a man who stands with others to say, "Brother, we can do better."
-
A story from Nisha's youth about the "parking lot code" and how social pressure often forces men to choose status over the truth.
-
An analysis of the "alpha" performance—using figures like Andrew Tate—as a mask for deep-seated anxiety and a desperate need for control.
-
How we have all internalized systems of domination and extraction, even in our most personal relationships and parenting.
-
Why we often use outrage as a "safe" way to avoid the deeper, more transformative vulnerability of collective grief.
-
The unique healing and "dropping of the guard" that happens in single-gender spaces when the performance for the other is removed.
-
Exploring "matriarchy" as the fundamental antidote to patriarchy—shifting from a culture of domination to one that centers the protection of life.
-
The shift from "power over" to "power with," moving from ego-driven heroism to leadership rooted in service to the whole.
-
A closing vision of "soft-bellied" freedom—the ability to live without armor and build a world that prioritizes the well-being of all children.
We would love for you to rate and review it! This helps more people find it and give it a chance. Thank you in advance :)
