Cosmic Connections

In this special crossover episode, we’re sharing Episode 3 of cosmic cheer squad—our new podcast from the Positive Disintegration Network. Chris and Bee are joined by a very special guest: Emma Nicholson, co-host of Positive Disintegration, for an in-person, around-the-table conversation recorded in Madison, Wisconsin. Together, they reflect on: * How they became friends and collaborators through the theory of positive disintegration * The idea of cosmic pockets as a way to hold intense feelings until it’s safe to process them * Inner critics, intrusive thoughts, and how to rewrite old narratives * Parenting yourself while raising others * Emotional trampolines, anti-cults, and resisting illegitimate authority * Why the Gravitron might be the perfect metaphor for development Plus: Bee’s legendary toffee, Aussie accent jokes, trench coat metaphors, and the beginnings of a truly cozy counterculture. 💫 It’s part reunion, part origin story, and all heart. Come sit with us.
