This episode feels very much needed right now, so I am excited to share it with you. In this episode, my guest, Chrissy, and I talk about radical self-care, a concept first articulated by Audre Lorde.

Chrissy gives a great explanation of radical self-care, and then we talk about the ins and outs of radical self-care, boundaries that can prevent it, boundaries within radical self-care, the difference between regular self-care and radical self-care, and why radical self-care is so important.

We talk about how we practice it ourselves, how we do not always do it well, and we share some laughs and personal examples along the way. We also encourage people to take steps to care for themselves within their own capacity.

I am very excited for everyone to listen to this episode, and I hope it helps you.

In this next episode, my guest, Jonida, and I talk about many things, but it starts with self-exploration and how being in a new environment can help you connect with people who show you a new side of yourself—but only if we let ourselves connect. If we are too busy with electronics, playing it safe, or other distractions, we may miss those people who can show us a new perspective or strength we did not realize we had—and we may never get to see how we can grow if we do not test ourselves in new areas or meet new people.

This episode, Devin and I get real. We talk about hate, discrimination, and everything that comes along with it — implicit bias, accountability, advocacy, and the discomfort that comes with challenging harmful beliefs and systems both internally and externally.

We both discuss mistakes we’ve made and how we’ve learned to deal with them. We also talk about the other side of accountability: accepting whatever response someone gives you after you take responsibility for your actions.

This conversation comes from a very personal place. Neither of us are experts, but we do encourage listeners to continue learning, take accountability, and also take care of themselves.

Content warning: This episode discusses discrimination, hate, bias, harassment, trauma, and mental health. If you have experienced discrimination in any form, please listen with care and take breaks if needed.

Resources, articles, and materials discussed in this episode are available in the transcript section for anyone wanting to continue learning.

This episode of Share a Cup with Me, Michael and I have a great discussion about communities—from how to start one, how to maintain one, and what our communities actually do for us, to why they’re so important in your life. We talk about shared interests, disagreements, and even the moments where conversations go a little off track—because that’s part of what community really looks like.

We don’t always have the same interests, and that shows in the episode, but that’s kind of the point. Being in a community isn’t about being the same—it’s about showing up, listening, and engaging anyway.

Mainly, we talk about the idea that if you want a community, you have to be involved in it. You have to put yourself out there. You have to be living fully.

So, thanks for sharing this cup with me. I hope you enjoy this episode.

In this month’s episode, my coworker Thy and I discuss how connections and a person’s network can help combat loneliness and build support. We also talk about how the best relationships have healthy boundaries for both sides, how you can give too much to any part of your network, and how over time some relationships fade while others stay. Overall, we reflect on how connections truly can make you a better person, both mentally and spiritually.

In this episode of Share a Cup with Me, I’m joined by my friend Liz for our first real sit-down conversation. Over imagined cups of tea, we talk about accountability—what it actually looks like when it’s rooted in care, trust, and psychological safety rather than shame or punishment. We reflect on work, friendship, culture, trauma, and the ways people grow when they feel safe enough to be honest. This conversation wanders, gets deep, and ends where it matters most: with love, grace, and the people who shaped us.
