Finding Softness From Within the Belly of Empire with meital yaniv
<p>In this episode, freddie sits down with meital yaniv, an author, death worker, and energy work practitioner whose past as an former IOF soldier raised on occupied Palestine has led them to a healing path of transformation as an anti-Zionist seeking a loving death to the state of Israel and Israeli identity. </p><p>The conversation explores the necessity of turning our lens inward to identify the ways we’ve participated and/or been complicit in oppression, without falling into shame or unhelpful self-policing. They also explore the importance of staying soft and embodied amidst burnout and oppression. meital shares a guided somatic practice centered on ancestral support.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://drive.proton.me/urls/7MTH3G6CP4#nSxEiPHrE1Iv" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read the transcript</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources </strong></p><ul><li><p><a href="https://gmail.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=f107e0a88766d05362f1e6652&id=77c4adbea9" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sign up for meital’s newsletter</a>.</p></li><li><p><a href="https://communitiesofmemory.com/products/meital-yaniv-bloodlines" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read meital’s book bloodlines</a>.</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bloodlines_book" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Follow meital on instagram @bloodlines_book</a>.</p></li><li><p>Work 1-on-1 with meital: <a href="https://www.truenamecollective.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.truenamecollective.com/</a></p></li><li><p>Learn more about meital’s work: <a href="https://meitalyaniv.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://meitalyaniv.com/</a></p></li></ul>

Facing collapse: the responsibility of grief & relating with Dean Spade
<p>I’m grateful to have this conversation with my friend Dean Spade, long-time organizer and author (Love in a F*cked Up World, Mutual Aid, Normal Life). In talking about how we show up for ourselves while also showing up for our movements, some of the key takeaways are:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Collective liberation requires personal healing work:</strong> Ignoring our “baggage” and internalized oppression causes movements to fracture, making personal practices of healing a prerequisite for structural change.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Practice of “What Else Is True?”:</strong> When emotionally activated, Dean suggests pausing to challenge one’s inner monologue by asking what other realities exist to foster empathy and slow down reactivity/alienation.</p></li><li><p><strong>Accepting reality as it is:</strong> Acceptance in this context doesn’t mean being okay with oppression; it means acknowledging what’s really happening, and doing our best to experience the grief that comes up. </p></li></ul><p>Whether you’re feeling hopeless about the state of the world or struggling to keep your community together through difficult times, this episode offers a sobering yet hopeful roadmap for staying grounded, connected, and responsive to reality.</p><p><a href="https://drive.proton.me/urls/CC1YG0208M#kTPRk7Wz8eei" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">You can read the transcript here</a>.</p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.deanspade.net/books/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Dean’s books</a>: Love in a F*cked up World, Mutual Aid, & Normal Life</p></li><li><p>Dean’s podcast, <a href="https://www.deanspade.net/podcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Love in a F*cked up World</a> (<a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/DeanSpade/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">& the associated Patreon</a>) </p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/spade.dean/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Follow Dean on Instagram</a></p></li></ul>

Art is Medicine with Tenderheart Press
<p>I’d never spoken face-to-virtual-face with E Oscar Maynard of Tenderheart Press until I invited them to chat with me for this series, and I’m so grateful they took a leap of faith to participate. Some of the themes of our conversation are:</p><p><strong>Art as medicine, both personal and collective: </strong>Oscar’s letterpress practice began as their own emotional release and healing, and over time it became a vehicle for collective grief and joy too. The medicine they makes for themself is what others need as well. (I relate to this for my coaching practice, too!)</p><p><strong>Protecting the medicine of creative practice from capitalism: </strong>Oscar sometimes struggles with self-doubt and worries that being a professional artist means the purpose of his work is subsumed by capitalism, and shares some of the ways he counteracts that.</p><p><strong>Seeing adversaries as human doesn’t mean accepting harm.</strong> We touch on the spiritual challenge of finding the humanity in others, even our oppressors. The point isn’t to excuse or forgive: it’s that holding that perspective gives us more grounded power than dehumanizing them right back.</p><p><strong>Permission to fail is permission to try.</strong> Oscar’s closing practice is simple: do the thing a lot, and fail a lot. Remember that what’s for you will find you.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://drive.proton.me/urls/JYSKS7RVCC#p1VhgrWpjAFd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read show transcript</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Support Tenderheart Press:</p><p>* <a href="https://www.countrycounterculture.com/tender-heartpress" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Browse the shop</a></p><p>* Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tenderheartpress/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@tenderheartpress</a> on IG</p><p><br></p><p>I’m having a couple more conversations around the question: how do we show up for “the work” and for ourselves when the stakes are so high? Tune in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/freddieblooms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">live on IG</a>:</p><p>* Wednesday, April 1 at 12pm PT with Dean Spade</p><p>* Wednesday, April 8 at 1pm PT with meital yaniv</p>
