S2 E9: The Loneliness and Bravery of Being Inquieta A 2-minute story about being awake in a sleeping society and a look at what it means today.

S2 E8: In this episode we explore questions about the differences between, and blending of, curanderismo and brujeria; and the ongoing practice of reclaiming our identities.

S2E7: Sharing news on big changes and exploring the decision making process when you can’t see the vision.  Naming the unknown trust that some call faith. With these changes I talk a bit about what it feels like when your community names you, honoring the pacing of this Winter's Solstice, and sharing my wishes for the New Year.

S2E6: In this episode we continue the conversation on Uncertainty and take a stand for Interconnectedness. For many BIPOC, living in uncertainty is nothing new, as living in perpetual uncertainty has been a baseline. What has always been true and what we can’t escape (cause and effect), is increasingly evident. In the midst of it all, the Western delusion of Independence is trying to die, and we are witnessing its death throes.

S2E5: The Western U.S. has literally been on fire, bringing many of our hopes to a breaking point.

S2E2: In this episode, we talk about activism and the benefits of slowing down when the world is on fire, tending your own fire, preventing and caring for burn out, and the guilt and shame that can arise from slowing down.

As we continue to navigate the unknown of these times (thanks, no thanks pandemic), we’re also having more clarity about our needs and what’s possible.

Episode 4 is a special sharing from Martha. During these strange and traumatic times of #covid19life, we are all experiencing so, so much as well as within our communities. In this episode, Martha shares her personal experience with the new "Shelter-In-Place" order, how she is navigating it. She shares helpful resources and encouraging words. She touches on the following topics: Our rapid mood changes and rising emotions. Choosing gentleness and compassion. The dangers of denial and the importance of it's other functions. The rising disparities + grief/loss. Releasing the status quo. The shedding and renewal the Spring Equinox brings. Honoring where you are.

In this short episode...a long time coming too, we dip into a more soulful and meditative message. Sharing our thoughts, defining the space and the core intentions for Platicast. We open up a conversation about cultural identities and roles, the experiences of generational silence and how silence plays out in our lives. We re-visit this origins of this podcast’s name, working with platica in folk healing, and using our voices to heal silence through Platicast. Some topics discussed: Using our voices Breaking the silence Curanderismo Platicas Community + inclusive & supportive spaces (Original air date: 2/25/2020) Connect: @_platicast_  platicast@gmail.com  http://www.platicast.com/ Music: "Southside" by Lee Rosevere

We're back!  In episode two, we work through some gunk in our own experiences by sharing our ideas around the whole light & love shiz and the ultra-spiritual bypassing that happens in spiritual communities.  We talk about the importance of having supportive people in your life, finding one's pack, reaching for those shifts in yourself and trusting that it will propel you into the realms of possibility, surrounded by "your people" that are there for you...to listen, support and love all the parts of you regardless.  We get to the grit, unpack, and find our way in this episode. In our conversation, we talk about: Wanting to be witnessed when in a vulnerable space and others not listening!  Well intentions? Or tangled in triggers, ego, agenda, assumptions. Lack of capacity to witness and hold space. Not letting us be in or openly process while in that shadowy or angry place. And when that shame sets in. Little trust when sharing ideas/projects, etc. Feeling protective and discouraged when sharing from a vulnerable place. Told it has to be a "certain way."  Always receiving uninvited feedback on ways to change or improve. Coaches.  The marketing behind big money coaches and the damage they can do to make a sale.  The unworthiness factor is their greatest tactic and how done we are with this! Claiming a feral process.  How one can get caught up in the illusion of perfection. The power of showing up to reclaim our voices, truths and birthrights in a society that continually tells us we are wrong, illegal, broken, and unwanted.

In this episode, we talk about identity as a growing process, a flowing cyclical movement. We discuss how the world structures identity, and how the right set of identities can constitute our value and worth.  Why we hate writing "about-me" pages, the elevator pitch/speech, finding our niche, branding our work. How we'd like to do away with the classic question of "what do you do?" ICK!  Impostor syndrome and how POC can't just relax and exist. Our lives carved around what we feel WP want when we're in their presence. Our work to keep them comfortable.  We talk chicanismo, our rite to choose the identity most closely related to our indigenous roots. 20-year-old white shaman girls and how white folx created a hierarchical system with certificates that take up the space and resources from POC.  The journey of trying to create community while living in mostly white spaces.  Lastly, a chiquitx segment on the summer solstice, our desires and rekindling our passions.
