Postcolonial Jitters
from Crying in My Jacuzzi with Dana Balicki Hosted by dana balicki
What happens when you no longer want the dream you worked for (capitalism anyone, lol)? When the worked-so-hard-for-thing stops singing back? And can we make the trade for something riskier and more honest—prioritizing resonance over metrics and presence over pace? In this ep, we dare to embrace changes not as failures, but as craft, maturity, and a detangling (rebellion as practice!) from our cultural, colonial conditioning. We also get a surprise visit multi-dimensional house-call from a beloved guide from seasons 1 & 2! An offering is made that doubles as ritual: cutting ties to shame, asking forgiveness, welcoming your spirit home, and helping others along the way. If you’ve outgrown a plan/a relationship/a situation that once felt perfect, this conversation gives you language, tools, and permission to pivot without apology.
