SHEQuest II

Part Two: The Whole World is a Trigger

In the part-two podcast of my conversation with Estelle Thomson, we talk about triggers and my simultaneous experience with them and contempt for them. I’m cheerleading for anti-fragility, after all: the practice of facing the world head-on no matter what headspace we’re in. Hint: look to the mothers and how they manage a child’s tantrum. It’s all in the snacks and the naps.

Kate Inglis, author of Notes for the Everlost: A Field Guide to Grief and host Estelle Thomson continue a 3-part conversation on grief, body, triggers and creativity. We are back in Kate’s bedroom closet widening our lens on the nuances of grief with a stream of consciousness musings on cultivating fragility in an unjust world, the dark side of motherhood, shame and trauma triggers.

In this episode, we explore rage, the dualities in triggers, the search for equanimity. A fresh look on PTSD, the treasure chest that is scared and the sweetness of wounds. A must-listen! —Estelle Thomson
