02. tending the revolution

I recorded this episode the day after the bombings in Rafah, a night that has stayed with me like so many of the nights we have witnessed over the last seven months.

On this episode, I share my story of being a public health worker deployed to the COVID-19 pandemic response in 2020 and 2021 – like so many thousands of public health and health care workers.

Tune in to hear about why I hate the word “burnout” and what I use instead. You'll hear about recovery, the return of a creative spark, and my dream for what comes next – including a little sneak peek of this summer's community of practice, THE PEOPLE’S HEALTH. Enrollment opens on June 20!

What is a practice of intimacy?

• how do we define practice, and intimacy? what are our intimate practices?
