The Interstitial: How We Become Free
On this short Interstitial episode, I riff on what’s been alive for me since my most recent conversations with Sophie Messager (on reclaiming drumming) and Ash Stinson (on embodiment and listening to the body). Jumping off from these dialogues, I'm holding a a central question here: How do we, as women, become truly free within systems that were never designed with us in mind?
Key Points:
- My own understanding of liberation in three parts - awakening, reckoning with inequities, and consciously choosing how to operate within toxic systems, including determining how and when to withdraw consent
- What it means to awaken to the reality that most systems were built without the participation and input of women
- The importance of taking time moving through the emotions that arise - but also moving on when ready
- The tricky dance between participating in systems while you have to, while honestly assessing your available power to enact change
Key Questions to Consider:
- Am I waiting for permission to show up differently?
- Am I waiting for it to feel easy or comfortable before I follow my truth?
- Do I actually have more freedom and power than I’m giving myself credit for?
