The group compares their COVID-19 experiences in Kansas City and Oklahoma, highlighting how differing local policies shaped public perception, professional frustrations, and outcomes in health communities.
The conversation touches on light pollution, circadian health, and how environmental factors influence our rest and recovery.
Danielle shares how mindset can influence food reactions and healing, reframing dietary restrictions as opportunities for growth and deeper listening.
Mark reflects on insights from the Hadza and Kogi cultures—how traditional peoples handle grief, community, and emotional processing differently from Western models.
The group discusses the teachings of Dr. David Hawkins and how emotional suppression plays a role in chronic illness. They explore tools for navigating discomfort and integrating personal experience.
They examine the unintended consequences of mask mandates, including impacts on language development and emotional recognition in children.
This episode encourages listeners to continue the work of integration post-Confluence—emphasizing embodied action, nervous system regulation, and the power of honest community conversations.
