"It is the dance we are fighting for." In this series opener, we explore why radical self-care matters in a world that feels increasingly chaotic. Through stories of bubble baths, borrowed wisdom from LGBTQ+ activists who "buried friends in the morning and danced all night," and a fresh take on ancient scripture, this episode challenges the notion that suffering equals goodness. We dive into Dr. Shaniqua Walker Barnes' concept of Sacred Self-Care and why refusing to be scapegoated is not just personal wellness—it's political rebellion. A timely conversation for anyone wondering how to stay human in dehumanizing times.
