Internalizing Toxic Capitalism

A Space To Be: Internalizing Toxic Capitalism

On this episode I offer some conversation about the signs and signals that toxic capitalism might be making you feel sick about yourself. 

As always I strive to be honest and as unedited as possible. I have only made edits when I actually make sounds that are not audible as words, and you will hear that I am sharing my space with crickets singing into the dawn's quiet. I wrote things down before I recorded, some of what comes forth is in the moment. I share all of this as body-based space-making so that we have more room to consider what it might be like to live without feeling like 'time is money'.
