  • Parenting, Boundaries and Change / Deeper Poddy 1:8
    May 28 2023

    Description:

    Starting from a current situation for Liana, we unmaskingly jump into a reflection of parenting. From boundaries within the inner family and caring about one's own needs in the face of children's frequent demands, we explore the process of transitioning between behavior patterns that navigate these dynamics. A transition that holds both challenges and the potential for growth. We end with a slight cliff-hanger on the relativity of problems before we fall too deep into the topic :)

  • On Long-Distance Conversations in Past, Present and Future / Deeper Poddy 1:7
    May 14 2023

    Description:

    Welcome, friends, to another episode of your favorite poddy! Inspired by our mode of talking, which for today forgoes the video, we explore long-distance conversation. Starting with what might simply be called a phone call and the feeling it promps, Liana makes good use of her life experience and illustrates the experience of conversations back in the day. A look onto the practices of verbal exchanges of younger humans as well as the future of long-distance communication - bringing our podcast home to the subtle realms - ends our episode. Enjoy!
