While Lauren settles into her new apartment and Tristan completes their cross-country road trip, we’re bringing you special crossover episodes we were part of on our dear friend Brooke Monaghan’s podcast Transcend Your Dichotomy!

This week’s features a conversation Lauren and Brooke had back in the spring of 2022, when Lauren was transitioning her anticapitalist course and community TAKE UP SPACE to a new, evergreen model for the first time.

Tune in to hear us talk about...

-Lauren’s story of learning to take up space and recovering from the toxic world of Democratic politics and establishment, “progressive” nonprofits

-How getting fired in 2016 initially forced her to embrace entrepreneurship

-The ways that trauma, disabilities, and other challenges can make working for other people feel impossible (and the privilege some of us have to exit shitty work situations)

-How perfectionism gets in the way of making big, meaningful changes

-Trusting yourself, even when you’re not sure of the outcome

-The evolution of our relationship with work and the reemergence of labor organizing

-Depersonalizing collective problems and no longer blaming ourselves for struggling under oppression

-Why self-improvement is bullshit

And more!
