In the final segment of our conversations with the prolific Iris Lacsamana, we hear her take on what “pro-lfe” means for her as both a Catholic and a feminist, and how she incorporates self-defense training and fair trade activism into her pro-life lifestyle.

It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers.” – World Fair Trade Organization Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1637417355] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/irislacsamana/] Divine Mercy Witness [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/divine-mercy-witness-tickets-59565322483] A 2nd Cup [http://www.a2ndcup.com/] Irislacsamana.com [http://irislacsamana.com/] Iris’ YouTube Channel [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT2VpP9SoW_7-DY5DPsnkFA] Artists AF [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCmemkiFcyj0oYXRrieREKg] Fair Trade Campaigns [http://www.fairtradecampaigns.org] Fair Trade 101 [https://fairtradecampaigns.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/CAM_FT101_170630.pdf] Sseko [https://ssekodesigns.com/] Veha Shoes [https://www.themodist.com/en/designers/designer-a-z/Veja?gclid=Cj0KCQjwtMvlBRDmARIsAEoQ8zSzwuANOGVNJifg85fAKZmxLEheZZ3hejDnKOw9ShAyF6BCwKa8zgcaAq0GEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds] Rothy’s Flats [http://www.rothys.com] Email: weturnedoutfine@gmail.com [weturnedoutfine@gmail.com] Website: weturnedoutfine.com [https://www.weturnedoutfine.com/] IG: @wtofpodcast [http://www.instagram.com/wtofpodcast] Twitter: @weturnedoutfine [http://www.Twitter.com/weturnedoutfine] All elements of We Turned Out Fine created and produced by Naomi and Lydia Jackson.

Episode 9 features special guest Iris Lacsamana, a local Houston visual and performing artist, playwright, choreographer, P.E. coach and all-around Catholic Wonder Woman. The sisters had such incredible, invigorating and profound discussions with Iris that it had to be split into two episodes! Be sure to listen to both parts to hear about all of the soulgasms, Mary being the new Eve, God loving sex-workers, god-loving sex-workers and practicing self-defense as part of a pro-life lifestyle!

“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going outside your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” — J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring What started off as a vehicle for freedom and indolence became a conversation on interdependence. In this episode, Naomi shares her story being a commuter cyclist. From cycling through Chicago winters, to confronting mortality and challenging the status quo, Naomi recalls how this simple form of transportation changed her life. Along the way you’ll hear the sisters discuss some practicalities that come with cycling as well as understanding the complex relationship between cyclists and motorists. For more information you can check out Naomi’s website The Cycling Gospel More Resources: Bike laws can differ depending on where you live.

In this episode, the sisters discuss the Enneagram and the Five Elements, two different personality type/belief systems that have a lot in common. Enneagram is Greek for “nine-pointed figure” and the Five Elements comes from ancient Chinese culture. Both systems have helped us learn more about ourselves and the people in our lives, but they have also given us deep emotional language to talk about self discovery and spiritual growth. We hope you enjoy this episode and we hope that you check out some of the resources that have been most helpful to us.

I highly recommend checking out The Enneagram Institute [https://www.enneagraminstitute.com] website as it provides a great history to the origin of the enneagram and how we have came to learn about it. The Wisdom of the Enneagram is practically a textbook. If you are interested in digging into the nitty gritty details of your type, this book is for you. The Road Back to You on the other hand is a much lighter read that provides a great scope of the enneagram complete with plenty of anecdotes. If you want to do deeper into contemplative practice and engaging with your enneagram type then The Sacred Enneagram is the choice for you. -Riso, Don Richard., and Russ Hudson.
