CareFull Practices is a podcast for people trying to create the care they want to witness in this world. Drawing from decades of community care, crisis support, and lived experience, these conversations explore sustainable, relational, and deeply human care practices -- beyond formulas, burnout, and survival. Together, we explore grief, fear, repair, mutuality, and the ongoing practice of building more honest relationships with ourselves and each other.

    Recognizing the Narratives of Stuckness

    In this third episode of CareFull Practices Season 2, Ryder Fox dives into our third practice towards getting unstuck: recognizing the narratives of stuckness. When we receive the same messages over and over, or learn that doing a specific thing keeps us safe, we internalize that message. We might not even realize that some narratives are internalized and aren't just objective truth. We invite you to curiously examine the narratives behind your stuck points, and sit with what you've been telling yourself. Check out our Patreon for our full-length episode, where Ryder and Ash will get honest about how easy it can be to beat ourselves up, take all of the blame, and silence ourselves in the company of these louder stuck narratives. Ash will share more about their own experiences with taking the blame for others’ feelings and experiences. Ryder will talk about how hard it was for them to let go of the idea that they needed to stay inside an abusive relationship in order to be loved and have a family.

    Identifying Patterns of Stuckness

    In this second episode of CareFull Practices Season 2, Ryder Fox dives into our second practice towards getting unstuck: noticing the patterns of our stuckness. When we're inside of what feels most stuck, we can forget that there might have been other experiences too... times that felt less stuck. We focus on survival, on getting out of the stuckness any way that we can. But what if instead we can notice the patterns of how our stuckness shows up, and use that to learn strategies of better navigating our stuckness? We invite you to gently start to sit with your patterns of stuckness, and consider: have I seen this before? Check out our Patreon for our full-length episode, where Ryder and Ash return back to the examples they shared last week to discuss patterns around each of those stuck points, and practice noticing these patterns.

    Naming what feels stuck

    In this first episode of CareFull Practices Season 2, Ryder Fox dives into the first step towards getting unstuck: identifying specifically what even feels stuck in the first place. Sometimes, all we feel is overwhelmed, trapped, panicked, stuck... but how can we consider how to get unstuck if we don't even really know what is making us feel this way? Yet at the same time, our bodies and minds naturally protect us by not sitting in the stuckness, because stuckness feels unsafe. We invite you to gently explore even just one specific thing that feels stuck, and see if you can name it. Check out our Patreon for our full-length episode, where Ryder and Ash talk more specifically about their own stuck points, how they've named them, and where they've struggled.
