In this special episode of Lab Partners, Nic Strack interviews Eréndira Jiménez about her new eight-week circle, “Tending the Revolt.” The conversation explores how caregiving, creativity, and liberation can coexist—especially for parents and caregivers who are seeking to integrate revolutionary ideas into their daily lives. They discuss:

• How the 8-week circle serves as a communal space for reflection and creativity
• Shifting experiences & expressions of liberation and activism from something more “combustible” to something more intimate, poetic, and lived in the everyday
• Exploring stories, myth weaving, and community wounds
• The power of gathering honestly, without agenda, to discover transformation through mutual presence
• Launching as a practice of liberation itself

Intro & Music by Noah Souder-Russo

This is a powerful conversation (between two heretics and a role model!) embracing queries that are relevant to many creatives, like:

“HOW TO BE RESOURCED TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT“

“HOW TO BE RESOURCED TO JUST BE YOU”

and

“WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE FINANCIALLY FREE?”

Maru, Eréndira, and Kelsey offer stories, examples, and perspectives gained in their years of deprogramming orientations to resource, success, security, and certainty.

They discuss:

• Letting go of metrics of success that were never theirs
• Trajectory shifts from more “safe” and traditional career paths to the trust falls of their work lives now
• The distinction between being intellectually committed to divesting from the stories of capitalism and colonialism verses the actual embodied movement towards that divestment
• Trusting their bodies rather than homogenized stories to guide them to resourcedness
• The romanticization verses the real life experience and sacrifices of “geting free”
