About this episode
Natasha Rothwell is here today to teach us not only how to survive this time, but how to absolutely stay alive—and hold onto our wild, precious humanity—during this time.
During this magical hour, we discuss:
- The paradox of being an introvert who loves people;
- How Natasha finds God in theater, laughter, and even pain;
- How understanding her neurodivergence set Natasha free; and
- How we can resist fascism by leaning into delight, sexuality, creativity, and nature.
This conversation will wake you up. Don’t miss it.
