    #9 ft. clara tomé: how we can actually solve the climate crisis

    what if the biggest lie in climate history was sold to you by an oil company? clara tomé (@iamcleer) went from international modeling to climate justice — and in this episode, she's pulling back the curtain on everything the fossil fuel industry doesn't want you to know. a practicing environmental lawyer and EU climate pact ambassador, Clara traces her own awakening and shares what we can all do. but this isn't your typical "go vegan, save the planet" conversation. clara goes deeper — unpacking why the climate crisis is fundamentally a crisis of justice, one rooted in centuries of colonialism and late-stage capitalism. we also get into the stuff that rarely makes it into mainstream climate discourse: why "pristine" conservation can actually harm the communities who've protected those ecosystems for generations, why indigenous knowledge deserves the same seat at the table as peer-reviewed science, and what it really means to rebuild our relationship with the natural world. support clara's ngo rights & roots and protect indigenous lands learn more follow clara on instagram follow unbound the pod: https://www.instagram.com/unbound.thepod/ and ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kikilindenau/⁠⁠⁠ and upscrolled ⁠⁠⁠https://share.upscrolled.com/en/user/c8a1197d-8a24-4f2d-8ef4-85aca25fa447⁠⁠⁠ intro & outro music by krakau for more info: - Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World - Jason Hickel - BP made up the carbon footprint - More about Rights of Nature

    #8: where did we go wrong? the creation of the patriarchy

    do you actually know what the patriarchy is? if not, don't worry! i didn't know either, that's why i read "the creation of the patriarchy" by gerda lerner, to actually get a historical understanding of what turns out the start of the oppression of women worldwide. join me on this episode to walk through some of the major developments in history that not only led to the domination of men over women, but that set a precedent for all domination (think slavery, class struggles, exploitation of nature) that rules - and ruins - us today. want to learn more? i'm working on a substack article so make sure you subscribe. resources: - The Creation of Patriarchy - Gerda Lerner - Feminism for The 99% - Cinzia Arruzza, Nancy Fraser, and Tithi Bhattacharya - The Will to Change - bell hooks follow un|bound: https://www.instagram.com/unbound.thepod/ and kiki ⁠https://www.instagram.com/kikilindenau/⁠ and upscrolled ⁠https://share.upscrolled.com/en/user/c8a1197d-8a24-4f2d-8ef4-85aca25fa447⁠ intro & outro music by krakau thank you for being here 3

    #7 ft. sarah noack: from single motherhood to matriarchy

    kiki sits down with sarah (@bysarahnoack) to explore single motherhood, matriarchy, and the invisible labor that holds society together. they talk about how patriarchy depends on women’s unpaid care work, and why western systems often fail mothers while other cultures still center the “village.” sarah shares what she’s learned traveling the world with her daughter and documenting mothers’ stories globally — and why supporting single mothers isn’t just personal, but political. support sarah's docu series: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-tell-the-stories-the-world-forgot follow sarah on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bysarahnoack/ and substack: https://bysarahnoack.substack.com/ follow un|bound: https://www.instagram.com/unbound.thepod/ and ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kikilindenau/⁠⁠⁠ and upscrolled ⁠⁠⁠https://share.upscrolled.com/en/user/c8a1197d-8a24-4f2d-8ef4-85aca25fa447⁠⁠⁠ intro & outro music by krakau

    #6: what do we mean when we speak about "the system"?

    we always speak about "the system" - it is inherently violent, and we want to burn it down. but what even is it? using systems theory as a basis, specifically Ludwig von Bertalanffy and Donella Meadows, i break down the system into five different subsystems: economic, political, social, racial, and cultural. using the cocoa supply chain from farms in west africa to our supermarkets, i shine a light on how low farm-gate prices, trade structures shaped by colonial extraction, unpaid household labor, global racial hierarchy, and comforting consumer narratives about chocolate work together to stabilize inequality and wealth accumulation, while shifting responsibility to individual “ethical” choices instead of structural change.

    #5 ft. shawna krueger: yoga can be a movement or it can be just movement

    what is yoga when it’s more than a workout? kiki sits down with shawna (host of leadership in yoga) to explore yoga as a lens for living — a practice of presence, awareness, and “being” rather than another item on a to‑do list. they talk about why western yoga often centers asana, how capitalism shapes what gets taught, and simple ways to return to the deeper intention through meditation, writing, and everyday moments of pause. support adaptive yoga northwest: ⁠https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/XBMNVK6LUJBVN⁠ learn more: ⁠⁠https://www.adaptiveyoganorthwest.com/ ⁠ listen to the leadership & yoga podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/79mKxBXBGTqaDj3UF10HKy?si=a0bc0211fd2e4434 follow shawna: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/shawnakru/ ⁠ follow un|bound: https://www.instagram.com/unbound.thepod/ and ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kikilindenau/⁠⁠⁠ and upscrolled ⁠⁠⁠https://share.upscrolled.com/en/user/c8a1197d-8a24-4f2d-8ef4-85aca25fa447⁠⁠⁠ intro & outro music by krakau

    #4: why I started unlearning the systems I was raised in

    in this episode, I share my personal and political journey that led to the creation of unbound. I reflect on how studying decolonization reshaped my worldview, how colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy live in our bodies, and why institutions alone can’t create real change. this episode explores unlearning, burnout, collective liberation, spirituality, and the power of grassroots transformation — an invitation to question the system and imagine alternatives together. if you enjoy this podcast, please subscribe and leave a rating. follow un|bound: https://www.instagram.com/unbound.pod/ and ⁠https://www.instagram.com/kikilindenau/⁠ and upscrolled ⁠https://share.upscrolled.com/en/user/c8a1197d-8a24-4f2d-8ef4-85aca25fa447⁠ intro & outro music by krakau

    #3 ft. kara mckilligan: living in alignment as resistance

    what does it really mean to live in alignment — and why might that be a quiet act of resistance? in this episode of un|bound, i speak with Kara, an alignment coach whose work centers on reconnecting with the body, intuition, and inner knowing. together, we explore unlearning conditioning, dismantling perfectionism, and how alignment challenges capitalism, productivity culture, and the idea that our worth is tied to what we produce. this episode also supports creating freedom movements, a leadership development program cultivating justice, joy, and what Martin Luther King Jr. called beloved community. support creating freedom movements: https://give.socialgoodfund.org/CFMUnbound learn more: https://www.creatingfreedommovements.org/ follow kara: https://www.instagram.com/karamckilligan/ follow un|bound: https://www.instagram.com/unbound.thepod/ and ⁠https://www.instagram.com/kikilindenau/⁠ and upscrolled ⁠https://share.upscrolled.com/en/user/c8a1197d-8a24-4f2d-8ef4-85aca25fa447⁠ intro & outro music by krakau

    #2 ft. rob r.: returning to sri lanka from exile through music and memory

    what does it mean to come home after exile, and how can music hold memory, grief, and healing? in this episode of un|bound, I speak with DJ Rob R., a Sri Lankan Tamil artist whose life was shaped by civil war, displacement, and return. together, we explore identity, forgiveness, reconciliation, and how sound can become a bridge toward collective healing. this episode also supports palmera, a non-profit working with rural communities in sri lanka to rebuild livelihoods after the 2025 cyclone. support palmera: ⁠https://palmera.org/rebuilding_fund⁠follow rob r.: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/rob_r_music/⁠follow un|bound:https://www.instagram.com/unbound.thepod/ and ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kikilindenau/⁠⁠ and upscrolled ⁠⁠https://share.upscrolled.com/en/user/c8a1197d-8a24-4f2d-8ef4-85aca25fa447⁠ intro & outro music by krakau

    #1: breaking what breaks us and remembering what binds us

    welcome to un|bound, a podcast about breaking what breaks us and remembering what binds us. in this first solo episode of un|bound, I share why I started this podcast and why so many of today’s global crises are, at their core, deeply human ones. I reflect on systemic injustice, shared responsibility, and why transformation is less about becoming someone new and more about remembering who we already are. un|bound is a space for unlearning, listening, and reconnecting — with ourselves, each other, and our shared humanity. follow un|bound: https://www.instagram.com/unbound.thepod/ and ⁠https://www.instagram.com/kikilindenau/⁠ and upscrolled ⁠https://share.upscrolled.com/en/user/c8a1197d-8a24-4f2d-8ef4-85aca25fa447⁠
