[Ep. 163] Identity Is Such A Drag: Letting Ourselves Compost w/ Sophie Strand

On today's episode, Luis speaks with Sophie Strand, self-described writer, compost heap, and neo-troubadour animist.

Together they explore identity as a strategy: sometimes useful, sometimes not, but never the truth. Often when there is low capacity for ambiguity, the identity is the strategy born from that, fueled by desire for stability.

Luis and Sophie discuss:

· not getting trapped in the idea of self, and leaving openness for fluidity and change

· the mythical and animistic experience of nature and trauma

· the restricting idea of “normativity”

· the atomized self vs the communal experience of life

· shifting focus from destructive to constructive behaviors, from isolation to relation
