How Do We Lose Touch With Our Humanity with Vanessa Faloye

About this episode

The episode explores the ways we lose touch with our humanity and the importance of caring for each other.

Check out the news on any given day and you'll see evidence of all the ways we "other" people, shame them, alienate them, and cause harm to them - passively and actively. In this conversation, Vanessa Faloye and I dig deep in to the things that separate us and cause us to lose touch with our humanity. We explore what it even means to be in touch with it, and why it's so easy sometimes to "other" people. We also talk about the important practice of continually bringing ourselves back to a place of reverence and care for each other and ourselves. You won't want to miss this one!
