Description

LISTEN, we are not here just to pay bills, lose weight, and die! 😤

This episode is a reminder that having hope isn't about "toxic positivity" or pretending everything is okay. It's about having the audacity to envision a better future and being a part of the solution. Because, as Caitlin puts it, doing the alternative is just doing "the fascists dirty work for them". And we're not doing that here!
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your future—like the world is falling apart and you’re just trying to hold it together—this one’s for you. Caitlin opens up about her own two-year stretch of spiritual and creative burnout. Coz that wasn’t rest. Sure as heck wasn’t a break. It was a breakdown! But with the help of a trusted therapist, her moon journal, and a return to introspective practices like tarot, she’s reclaiming her vision for the future—and inviting you to do the same.

💬 "We are not here to just pay bills, lose weight, and die. We are here to have a human experience. It's not our fault that capitalism is like, no, you don't get to have human experiences, but it is our responsibility to give a middle finger to capitalism and to say, you know what? I'm going to pick my little spot on the horizon and I'm going to move toward it." - Caitlin

You'll totally learn:

• How to fight the capitalist impulse to just survive and, instead, have a full human experience.
• Caitlin's personal journey of a two-year creative and spiritual disconnection, and how she's finding her way back.
• The power of introspective tools like journaling and tarot for reconnecting with your future self.
• How to distinguish between healthy hope and toxic positivity, especially in a world with so much anxiety (hello, climate anxiety!).
• Why finding little joys, even if they're fleeting, is a revolutionary act
• The importance of believing a better future is possible to actually be part of the solution
