Welcome to Come to the Brink. I’m Zoë Flowers.This season is called The Disruptors.These are conversations with people who refuse to accept the way things have always been — especially when those ways are harming the very people they claim to serve.Because disruption, in this space, isn’t just about calling things out. It’s about telling the truth. It’s about shifting culture. It’s about choosing people over systems that were never designed to hold us.And today’s guest has been doing that work for a long time.Arlene is a nationally recognized speaker, trainer, facilitator, and thought leader with over 25 years of experience in the domestic and sexual violence movement.Website: www.toorelinstitutue.orgEmail: [email protected] I am currently working on...Upcoming In-person Training (May 13-14 / Washington D.C.)Stewarding the Work: A People First, Purpose Always Facilitator Intensivewww.toorelinstitute.org/eventsNew Book ReleasePeople First, Purpose Always: A Practical Guide for Building Healthy and Thriving TeamsAvailable via Amazon and the TooREL Institute On-line Store

The wellness industry has become big buisness. So much of what we see in modern wellness is performative. We are in a situation where wellness practioners are operating at lower capacity and clients often feel they have to look well even if they don't feeling well. Caress Fitch believes every part of nature rests deeply, and need to do the same. She's also dedicated to having 3 belly laughs a day and taking recess breaks.Caress Fitch is a trauma-aware, systems-informed wellness strategist and the founder of Mindful Passions International — a practice rooted in embodied autonomy, harm reduction, and sustainable change for people navigating complex life transitions.Her work draws on nervous system regulation, ancestral health, and client-led pacing to support people in building lives that are not just functional — but actually livable.

She offers a range of readings, including Akashic Records, and teaches classes on candle magic, animal communication, and developing intuitive abilities.She has also been deeply involved in animal rescue for over seventeen years, fostering special needs dogs and supporting animals and their humans through some of the most difficult transitions.Kimmie also holds a Master’s in Sociology with a concentration in Political Economy and Globalization, and she brings a thoughtful awareness to her work — including a commitment to not appropriating cultural practices.

Welcome to Come to the Brink. I’m Zoë Flowers.This season, The Disruptors, is about people who challenge what we’ve been told to accept—about work, identity, healing, leadership, and who we’re allowed to become.Today’s guest understands disruption not as rebellion for rebellion’s sake, but as an inward reckoning that changes everything outward.I’m joined by Joyce Kyles.At the heart of Joyce Kyles Consulting is a commitment to wellness, self-care, and transformation. Joyce brings over twenty-five years of professional experience and lived wisdom into spaces where individuals and teams are invited to grow, unlearn, and reimagine what thriving can look like—personally and collectively.Her work disrupts narratives we take for granted: how we see ourselves, how we work, how we care for others, and how we give ourselves permission to evolve.Joyce and I talked about endings and new beginnings, and evolving through choice, not drama.

Welcome to Come to the Brink. I’m Zoë Flowers.This season, The Disruptors centers people who have challenged the status quo—not just through ideas, but through decades of sustained, embodied work.

Welcome to Come to the Brink.I’m Zoë Flowers.This is the space where we gather in truth— where we talk about the grief that lingers, the moments that shape us, and the sacred pauses that bring us back to ourselves.Today’s episode is different. There are no guests. Just me. And a year I didn’t plan to have

This is a throwback episode to earlier this year, when I was invited to be part of a roundtable talk hosted by the Black Women Talking Back Podcast about the women of SINNERS. It was a spirited conversation for sure!

Welcome to Come to the Brink, the place where we tell the truth about what breaks us, what remakes us, and what it takes to keep going when life drags you to the edge. This is where we meet the parts of ourselves we’ve avoided, the parts we’ve abandoned, and the parts that are still here — waiting for us — even when we think we’re out of time, out of breath, or out of courage.Today, I’m talking about yet another thing we as women don’t talk about enough...menopause. Well, to clarify, I am talking about my Hero's Journey to Menopause. A journey that included generational trauma, the return of uterine fibroids, a hospital stay during Covid, several blood transfusions, a little help from my friends, a menopause support group, clueless doctors, and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

I sat down with my long-term colleague Aleese Moore Orbih to talk about how spirituality, art, and healing practice revolutionized my work in the gender-based violence movement.

Welcome to Come to the Brink. This is where we gather — the grievers, the dreamers, the builders — to speak honestly about what it means to live through endings and still create.My guests today are Fiona Oliphant and Cassie Whitebread of Healing Equity United, an organization dedicated to centering those living at the margins by valuing lived experience, amplifying marginalized voices, and realigning power within institutions and communities.Their recent article, “Preparing for the Future Means Feeling Now,” reminds us that numbness is not neutrality is the only way through this dystopian nightmare.Fiona brings decades of experience as a legal advocate, executive director, public speaker, and Jamaican-American mother with an unshakable belief that collectively we can end violence and oppression.Cassie is a radical educator, coach, and community builder — a former teacher turned consultant who helps organizations operationalize equity through honesty, care, and connection.

My conversation with Debbie Weiss was so inspiring, Debbie is the bestselling author of On Second Thought…Maybe I Can! and The Sprinkle Effect. For over 40 years, she was the family caregiver. She took care of her father from age 17-49, her son, and later her husband. Along the way, she lost herself in the roles she was carrying. At 50, she chose to start living for herself. Nine years later, at 59, she became a widow. Because of the shifts she'd already made, she was able to walk through grief with resilience and continue creating a meaningful, joyful life.She now teaches women how to use her Sprinkle Effect™ Method, See It, Sprinkle It, Shift It, as a way to move from feeling stuck to possibility and [email protected]://www.instagram.com/debbie.r.weiss/https://www.tiktok.com/@debbierweiss

Today, I’m joined by Tracie Collins.Tracie is an author, entrepreneur, business strategist, public speaker, and creative powerhouse. She is best known for her stage production Cold Piece of Werk, which confronted the human trafficking epidemic in Oakland, California. That groundbreaking work earned her a Mayoral Proclamation from the City of Oakland—declaring March 14, 2015, as Tracie Collins Day.Her work has always pushed against silence—whether around women’s rights, racism, or the taboo topics in Black culture. And in 2023, she made another bold move: leaving the U.S. to start a new chapter in Mexico.Her life is art, activism, and reinvention—woven together. And I can’t wait to share this conversation with you.

She is Renée Michele— a multi-hyphenate creative whose world stretches across the realms of spirit, story, and sacred service.She is a Hoodoo practitioner and a Yayi in Palo Mayombe, where she navigates spirit realms with intention and ancestral devotion— always bringing respect, purpose, and just the right amount of sanctified chaos.She is the founder of Geechee Gal Roots and Ancescents— two offerings rooted in cultural reclamation, handmade ritual goods, and storytelling from the soul.She’s also an artist, a poet, and an author of works like Lock, Stock & Smoking Metaphors, Enamored: The Love Letters, and the deeply anticipated I Know It Was the Blood.And if all that wasn’t enough, Renée shows up as a death doula—quietly, gently— offering non-clinical, spiritual care to those crossing the veil.Contact Renée @ https://www.instagram.com/geecheegalroots/

And both times—her home, her business, her life—were touched by the flames.This conversation is about trauma, yes. But it’s also about wisdom, remembrance, and the power of elders who know the way through. We also discussed her new book, The A's Have It – Abandonment, Abortion, Addiction

Welcome back to Come to the Brink. I’m your host, Zoë Flowers. Thank you for joining us and for following the podcast.

The caregivers. The cultural workers. The ones who show up for everybody else… even while carrying invisible wounds of their own.I’m joined by Odilia Romero—Zapotec interpreter, cultural bridge builder, and co-founder of CIELO: Comunidades Indígenas en Liderazgo. For more than two decades, Odilia has organized with Indigenous migrant communities in Los Angeles and across California.

It’s the deep, personal understanding of what it means to lead while still healing.Today, we’re talking about what it means to carry community in one hand and old wounds in the other. What it costs—and what it gives back.

Grief can take us to unexpected places. The resilience we discover and the courage it requires to reinvent our lives can take a toll. Today, I'm talking with Aleese Moore Orbih about losing the love of her life to cancer, navigating that deep loss, and courageously pivoting careers after decades of transformative advocacy work.Song Inspo-Back To Life Soul II Soulhttps://music.apple.com/us/album/back-to-life/723348678?i=723349014

Another correction is that it was March 27, 1703, when Neptune and Saturn were conjunct in Aries at 11 ° Aries.https://cayelincastell.com Cayelin has been celebrating the Sky Mysteries for over 33 years, from the visionary understanding that we inform the mysteries as much as they inform us.

I broke my episodes into guest eps and storytimes. Storytimes are my reflections and an attempt to make sense of the nonsensical. In this episode, I am pulling apart my nonsensical GenX youth and how it impacted me. The GenX experience...when we say nobody was really checking in on us for most of our young lives, we mean it. and it left us with a certain amount of scrappiness and freedom to become...what we would have become.... The GenX suburban experience is another thing entirely. Our parents were busy, so it was all about our friends. This episode is dedicated to the 2 girls who took me in, introduced me to Hip Hop, and essentially changed my trajectory.Music Inspo-Out Here On My Own (from FAME) Irene Cara

And today's conversation is exactly that: a doorway into what happens when the body starts to speak and we’re finally ready to listen.Today’s episode is one of those conversations that takes us beneath the surface—into the unseen, the unspoken, and the deeply spiritual.On today's show, I’m joined by the incredible Shanda Domango—a trained dancer, choreographer, medium, and creator of Healing Movement, a somatic, ancestral, and spiritual healing modality born from her journey through loss, pregnancy, and awakening.Shanda thought she knew her body.

But when she became pregnant, something shifted..Guided by a family friend and medium, Minister Esprit, Shanda began studying chakra-based and ancestral healing.Music Inspo-Break On Through by The Doors
