This week is all about rewiring our conditioning! The moment when the stories we were handed begin to crack, and clarity arrives whether we’re ready or not. From questioning binary political thinking to confronting environmental harm, capitalism, and internalized narratives about worth, this episode explores what it means to think critically in a world that rewards comfort over truth.
This episode is proudly represented by OYA Müllem, a vibrant, community-centered cultural space in Cologne. More than a bar or restaurant, OYA is a place of connection—bringing together food, music, art, and collective care in a welcoming, colorful environment.
