88: Encore (The Final Episode)

While we often want to hold onto the things we love forever, endings are a sacred part of our natural cycles and they deserve to be honoured. In this final episode, Nic and Lala discuss their decision to end the podcast, reflect on their achievements and regrets, dream into their futures, and celebrate everything SEEN is and has been.

87: Alchemy of Change Pt.2

For the final episode of the season, Nic and Lala are joined by Marcellite Failla, a practitioner and scholar of African diasporic religions and spiritualities. Together, they explore the alchemy of change once more, interweaving the importance of ritual and routine, and discussing what it means to reclaim spiritual practices in a decolonized way. 

86: Levelling Up

The challenges associated with growth, transformation or success are often under-discussed. Often, we imagine that getting  the thing you’ve been working so hard for means you’re set, that you have it under control — but what happens in reality? In this episode, Nic and Lala are joined by Mebrat Beyene to discuss the peaks and valleys of levelling up.

85: Stagnancy

At some point along our journeys of personal growth or healing, we can find ourselves plateauing into a dreaded sense of stagnancy. In this episode, Nic and Lala explore the ways that stopping, stillness and taking stock are crucial elements to personal transformation, and how bringing more compassion and less comparison can support us in moving forward. 

84: Hope

In this episode, Nic and Lala continue to explore transformative justice on a personal level by tackling hope: its elusiveness, some of the uncomfortable pressures that it can place on us to be toxically positive, and how a ‘grounded’ hope can serve us well.
