41. So Special, So Special, So Special

On this episode hosts Alexis and Sangodare focus on reclaiming the term “special” in a sincere way. They argue systems like capitalism and empire discourage recognizing inherent dignity and discuss why this self recognition is not vanity but deeply spiritual work. They close by announcing registration for the September Chrysalis Experience retreat via mobilehomecoming.org. * Reclaiming Special * Why Special Feels Risky * Revolutionary Responsibility and Relationship as Witness If you want to support this podcast and have access to monthly live sessions with us and other goodies, join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/did-i-mention-we-159287534 [https://www.patreon.com/posts/did-i-mention-we-159287534] You can also send us a tax-deductible donation via “text to give."   Send a text to this number: 53-555.  All you have to put in your message is “September.” Then press send.

40. Love To Let It Flow

On this episode hosts Sangodare and Alexis discuss purpose as “love flowing into form,” how society and capitalist value stories can separate people from purpose, and how natural gifts often become last on the to-do list. They unpack over-prioritizing support for others at the expense of their own creative practice, the need to value our most precious connections to source and consent around purpose-to-purpose relationships while respecting boundaries under scarcity. * Collaboration as Artform * Honor the Flow and Purpose * Balancing work that feeds and work that takes…work If you want to support this podcast and have access to monthly live sessions with us and other goodies, join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/did-i-mention-we-159287534 [https://www.patreon.com/posts/did-i-mention-we-159287534] You can also send us a tax-deductible donation via “text to give."   Send a text to this number: 53-555.  All you have to put in your message is “September.” Then press send.

39. Love To Offer Our Lives

On this episode hosts Sangodare and Alexis introduce love as a collective superpower, arguing that love’s fullest power is not individual or confined to isolated couples or the nuclear family but lives on the scale of community and collective freedom. Drawing from Angela Davis’s autobiography, they highlight how her story centers collective support and love as forces that propelled her political commitment. They share 3 “North Stars” and call for social relations where all are loved and no one is sacrificed. * Love Is Collective * Love Beyond Individualism * Tapping Into Presence If you want to support this podcast and have access to monthly live sessions with us and other goodies, join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/did-i-mention-we-159287534 [https://www.patreon.com/posts/did-i-mention-we-159287534] You can also send us a tax-deductible donation via “text to give."   Send a text to this number: 53-555.  All you have to put in your message is “September.” Then press send.

38. An Unreasonable Love (Go Knicks!)

On this episode hosts Sangodare and Alexis celebrate the New York Knicks winning their first NBA championship in 53 years, and how sports and fandom connects to the legacy of collective love and teamwork. Using Alexis’s Dad’s Knicks loyalty as a metaphor, they offer three north stars about how love is it’s own reason and answer a listener question about whether or not it makes sense to have a goal oriented approach to relationships. * Love Unreasonably * Lessons From Knicks Fandom * Chrysalis Purpose Roadmap If you want to support this podcast and have access to monthly live sessions with us and other goodies, join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/did-i-mention-we-159287534 [https://www.patreon.com/posts/did-i-mention-we-159287534] You can also send us a tax-deductible donation via “text to give."   Send a text to this number: 53-555.  All you have to put in your message is “September.” Then press send.

37. Urgent versus Important

On this episode hosts Sangodare and Alexis distinguish what is urgent (time-based) from what is important (value-based) amid capitalist pressures. Using experiences around Black Feminist Film School production and podcast scheduling, they emphasize that clarity about the important attracts community support, while urgency can undermine rest and presence. They invite listeners to a virtual Juneteenth Patreon date night and take a listener question on addressing a loved one dating someone potentially harmful. * Urgent vs Important Explained * Scarcity and Stolen Time * Rest, Boundaries and ‘Passing It On’ For more on our coaching and community building offerings, Click Here https://www.mobilehomecoming.org/loveship [https://www.mobilehomecoming.org/loveship] Because love is living with purpose join us for our first Chrysalis Cohort!
