Beyond The Fringe: Bayo Akomalafe: The End of ...

In this surprising and wise conversation with Bayo Akomalafe Ph.D, we learn how to see the defeat of the neo-liberal agenda in a new light. We begin to see what is possible when human dominance and control are removed from the center of life and our lives. Dr. Akomalafe’s vision for the future imagines a true and deep sanctuary for what is broken, hidden, afraid, and even “monstrous” in ourselves. Being defeated in “getting things right” then becomes a liberation from an oppressive master-slave dynamic that continues to inhibit our programs of antiracism, climate justice, and closing the wealth gap.

Pay Attention Interviews: Joanna Macy: Staying Alive: Vitality, Love and Intimacy in your Nineties

In this extraordinary conversation, Polly and Joanna talk about her translations of and commentary on the poetry and letters of Rainer Maria Rilke. Rilke’s ideas and insights about living fully as the means of creating God and world have guided Joanna in her personal life through the decades since her mid-twenties. While she herself was engaged in political and social activism, and Buddhist practice, her approach to everything was guided by Rilke’s unique perceptions of reality. Together here, Polly and Joanna laugh about and discover new perspectives on their own lives.

Polly Young-Eisendrath with Ali Shapiro: Thinness, Beauty, and Power

Last year, after reading Women and Desire: Beyond Wanting to Be Wanted, I put Dr. Polly Young-Eisendrath on my bucket list to have on the show. This book explores the power in women having their own needs and wants, rather than focusing on wanting to be wanted. This book dovetails with my Truce with Food work as it provides a road map and skills for clients to go from the “good girl” based on what others need and want to developing their own preferences that are in alignment with who they are. Knowing your body’s own unique nutritional needs and truest personal callings are under this umbrella.
