Finding Hope in the Polycrisis
Do Good and Do Well with Sarah Fox, listen to our Podcast Episode here
I often come away from podcast recordings wondering
“What did I say?”
“Was any of it useful?”
“What was that conversation even about?”
I really try to commit to being deeply present in the discussion and to speak without second guessing where it’s going. I believe many of us spend a great deal of time in relation with others overthinking our communication, worrying about certain parts of us being perceived.
What if people find out I am uncertain, unclear, uninformed on any of this?
What if I start to express something that feels meaningful to me but I can’t quite articulate it and it gets lost?
What if I speak for too long or don’t say enough?
If I allow myself to be preoccupied with these questions during the discussion, I devalue the organic vitality of the relational field. What’s the point in recording a conversation if nothing I say is a surprise to me? I might as well be performing a monologue. So much of my work emerges from my deep regard for how we develop in relation.
I listened to this episode about 8 weeks after we recorded it (on 1.5 speed of course) and I noticed…
Sarah Fox is a great host
Lucy Lucraft is a brilliant editor
There’s lots of interesting stuff here about navigating the polycrisis, community care, compassion, experimentation and the role that coaching can play in all of it
