The Ebb and Flow of Being

The Ebb and Flow of Being

Rachel joins IA to share a unique illustration of how fluid identity can be. The conversation finds its footing on how language, culture, politics, and even geography, mold our perspectives and how we relate to ourselves and others alike. Along the way, a range of topics come to the surface including:

- reflections on spending the pandemic abroad

- cultural and political differences between Spain and the US

- striking a balance between progress and simplicity

- the primacy of recognizing trade-offs and relationships in all aspects of life

- the importance of zooming out and leaving space for levity

- how a comparative look at language reveals how easily things are lost in translation

- why some illusions can have value


and many more!
