    The Cost of Community

    Community is about finding people that like you and encourage you to be you.  What you might forget is that this means you need to face who you are to find the people that support the full and real you.  Laumee and Rachael do a meandering dive into what community means to them and also how this search for external validation is a distraction for knowing yourself.  Enjoy the conversation.  Announcement:  This podcast will no longer have a set schedule.  We will still try to publish a podcast twice a month but we are going to make room for creative flow and inspiration.   Questions to reflect on: What do you really want? What would make you feel energized?  What does a safe person look like? How can you be safe for yourself and others? What feels depleting?

    What do you really want?

    How do you find freedom beyond what happened?  Trauma affects our world, our responses, how we relate to each other, and how we see ourselves.  It’s time to get to know who you are and what motivates you.  As Laumee says, “It’s time to be as weird as you are and be ok with it.” Start by paying attention to what brings you joy and curiosity. Pay attention to what drops your energy. “You cannot fight what you prefer.”  Resources mentioned: Who you were meant to be by Lindsay Gibson https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/who-you-were-meant-to-be-a-guide-to-finding-or-recovering-your-lifes-purpose_lindsay-c-gibson/550386/#edition=57324559&idiq=41557158 Maria Brophy business advice for artists https://mariabrophy.com/ Question for today:  What does your authentic self want?

    Exclusive vs Inclusive

    Creativity is a safe place to express yourself, to get to know yourself, to see your shadow, to contribute.  Laumee and Rachael talk about the difference of creating for the joy and discovery vs how art is usually portrayed as something special to be scrutinized.  Hopefully, this episode will encourage you to create and better understand yourself.  Find the post on Instagram and share your thoughts on the question: What if you could trust yourself?  https://www.instagram.com/sparrowshand/

    Community Catch-Up

    Laumee and Rachael are back from their summer break.  Now they are sharing insights, new projects, and steps towards community. The reminder today is that life is not a superhero journey.  There isn’t one savior to fix it all. You are not responsible for the world but you can heal yourself, you can do your best, and you can still make a difference in ways you might never see.  Q What does it mean to be authentic to you?  Q How would you have a friendship with yourself?  Resources listed: Christin’s Stay Hype Podcast  https://youtu.be/kMxeCBQ1d_k?si=x33euXJ4Pu8FOs2E

    Discussing Action in a World of Suffering

    How do we take care of ourselves while the world needs changing? How do we work towards change? What even makes a difference?  There isn’t really answers, mostly questions.  Laumee and Rachael discuss the struggles of trying to do more, self-care and preservation and what can be done.  Resources: The Way Out Is In: A Zen podcast episode about healing transgenerational trauma and hatred https://open.spotify.com/episode/0XmhX76zRnYv2RghXxN9Ic Combatants for Peace is a grassroots movement of Israelis and Palestinians working together to bring peace, equality and freedom. https://cfpeace.org/
