In this episode, host Kelly Wolfe is joined by author, poet-storyteller, and speaker, Kaitlin Curtice to discuss themes from her new book, Living Resistance: An Indigenous Vision for Seeking Wholeness Every Day, including:
Radical Self-love as an act of resistance from a lens of embodiment, rather than capitalism and consumerism
Ethics as resistance, especially what it means to decolonize the way some of us practice yoga and engage wellness spaces
Resistance work from a place of joy rather than just anger
Solidarity Work as resistance - in the big social moments and the day-to-day smaller moments - and how we can make sure it doesn’t slip into becoming performative.
