"Listen to your body" has made me sit out a lot of great experiences that I think I was just too anxious to go into.

Ohhhh, I relate to this so hard and I struggle with it!! Self-care as resting — yes, we do all need rest and also sometimes the most helpful advice for me is to get up. I would love to hear from other folks w/ depression, anxiety, etc on how they navigate those contradictions of “I’m giving myself good advice about this but not that.”

Wow! Stunning interview with a brilliant story-maker. 🙏🏼 I sobbed so hard at "Women Talking," moved by the beautiful, effective labor of deep listening. Which Polley embodies in her willingness to have hard conversations about past assaults. So Brave! I'm especially moved by stories of kindness and creating beautiful experiences while filmmaking and caregiving. This IS how we evolve our species.
