    Ep 104: When They Call You a Homeowner

    Money and Nikeeta are back with another packed episode. Money gives some suggestions on how to build vicarious resilience.

    Review from RainzzSC

    Mental Moment with Money 00:32:38
    How to build Vicarious Resilience?
    YES! The same way we are able to mirror the negative impacts of Trauma, we are also able to mirror and experience resilience - the ability to adaptively respond to adversity
    Seeing other as equal/community as you rather than you as “savior”
    Recognize strength in others
    Develop your potential
    Witness other people’s joy
    Ask folks how they do it
    Get involved in social causes and social change

    Word 00:53:04
    Patrisse Cullors owns houses… but what are the actual questions we should be exploring about the organizational structure of the largest liberation movement of our time?

    Topic 01:33:00
    Could we see ourselves being parents? We sort of kind of both land on yes… for now.
