HOW WE SHOW UP with mia birdsong
In this conversation we explore how capitalism has underminded our ability to create and sustain healthy communities, what it really means to show up for someone, how to set boundaries and hold each other accountable without bosses or policing, what a healthy interconnected community feels like and, how to cultivate a sense of collective vitality that embodies the liberated future we want right now.
