This week on the Pod, we’re joined by the luminous Sherri Mitchell: Indigenous rights attorney, activist, ceremonial leader, and the author of Sacred Instructions.
We dive into the birth canal of this moment — a world in transition, contracting and expanding as it labors to bring something new into being. Sherri doesn’t shy away from the pain, confusion, or cultural clusterf*ck of our times and she also doesn’t wallow. Instead, she offers radical clarity, vision, and a deeply embodied path forward.
Together, we explore:
What it means to live through a species-wide rite of passage
The vibrational power of oral traditions and why sound is sacred science
Why “triggered” might just be the most misused word of our generation
How to move beyond naming the water we’re drowning in, and start swimming toward land
The 80/10/10 rule for building the world we actually want
And then Sherri guides us in a practice of remembering, of dreaming the world we want into being, and dreaming ourselves into the kind of people who can live there.
As Jeff put it: “You can dream a better world. But you have to dream yourself into it too.”
This conversation is a balm, a fire, and a wake-up call. If you’ve been overwhelmed, heartbroken, or teetering on the edge of despair, listen in. It’s about metabolizing this moment into wisdom, vision, and action.
