    In the final episode of the system thread, I explain why, for the most part, I have kept politics and specific affiliations out of exploring system alternatives. I attempt to integrate several of the previous episodes in this thread into a vision of empowered community adaptation and innovation that includes all voices and addresses hierarchical and power imbalances.

    I read the final chapters and bring the story to its conclusion. I then reflect on what I was trying to explore through the creation of this narrative when I wrote it, and what I would perhaps change today, and invite creative collaborators to get in touch if they think there's merit in working together to further develop the ideas contained within the novel.

    Interview 8 - Mike Cahn
    Dec 20 2021

    Final interview of the series by request from some listeners, is with Mike Cahn, my partner in life and many projects. In this episode, he tells us about his "aha" moment when he began to consciously question the mainstream system and its values, while also talking about some of the things in his upbringing which prepared him for that moment and guided him where to go afterwards. We then talk about how our shared journeys led to the foundation of Carraig Dulra.

I loved every part of this podcast and the range/variation of topics covered within the theme. All of it sums up my middle-aged musings on justice, ecology, family, community, and legacy. I'm motivated to move forward on my dreams of living sustainably and embracing my non-childbearing years with as much curiosity, enthusiasm, and trepidation as I approached motherhood. Thank you for this.

Beautiful thoughts for a second coming-of-age
