Ep 17: Unmasked! Body & Spirit Are One w/Lisa Factora-Borchers

In this episode, I talk with Ohio-based writer, poet, and editor (and fellow Filipina Catholic-daughter-of-immigrants mama) Lisa Factora-Borchers! Our conversation is rich with explorations about what it means to find ourselves unmasked and what to do with that discovery; how inextricably linked our spirits are with our bodies; and the varied ways in which we can work towards healing our conditioned (and often damaging) thinking, including language-less prayer and writing. She also talks a bit about how her spirituality feeds into how she invites her kids to be aware of the divine. // Today’s poems: Hafiz’s “The Warrior” and Joy Harjo’s “Eagle Poem” (found here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46545/eagle-poem) // Find Lisa here https://lisafactoraborchers.com // The quote about what her memoir is about can be found here: https://rewire.news/article/2020/05/05/5-reproductive-justice-advocates-to-know-this-asian-pacific-american-heritage-month/ // Fabulous Fire Fridays on IG!
