    47. Love the Creative Power of Difference

    This episode’s core teaching is valuing the creative power of difference, with hosts Sangodare and Alexis drawing on Audre Lorde’s “Difference and Survival” to frame differences as polarities that spark possibility, expanded choice, collective flourishing, and a living Earth. They discuss how differences in gender expression and money stories can create dissonance but also curiosity, intimacy, and growth, and they offer three “North Stars” to help reframe difference as a sensuous experience to get curious about rather than a pain to overcome.
