    Deep Dive into Showing Up

    What does it mean to show up? How do we know how, for whom, or to what extent to show up? Who, or what, tells us when it’s “enough”?

    Deep Dive into Mutual Vulnerability

    So often we're told that care needs to focus the person receiving care. That there isn't room for our humanity, that we as someone giving care should just be a blank slate.

    Building Grief Practices

    So, grief is a part of our existence in this world. What do we do with it? In this episode of CareFull Practices, Ryder Fox discusses grief practices. Even though grief comes in so many forms in our lives and care practices as multiply marginalized people, so often we end up either hiding from it, or feeling crushed by it. Ryder uses their own experiences of learning how to micro-grieve their harms and pains to explore how we can build a relationship with grief that allows it to exist more fluidly. In this episode, we invite you to notice how grief shows up for you. What helps it to move? What helps you to feel witnessed?
