About this episode: 

How are we shaped by the world around us and what is our role in shaping it?

Amisha is honored to walk with Alnoor Ladha in this transformative episode that blends the personal and political, the spiritual and systemic. Alnoor has spent years at the intersection of activism, mysticism, and storytelling – working to reimagine how we relate to power, care, and community.

In this episode we get into all kinds of things: taking real responsibility (like, the kind that doesn’t burn you out), how our inner healing connects to outer systems, grounded spiritual practice as a form of resistance, what post-capitalism could actually feel like in the body, and how deprogramming scarcity can open us up to deeper connection and joy.

We talk about:

:: Power, entitlement, and victimhood – not as buzzwords, but as energies we carry and can transform

:: Why separating the spiritual from the political just doesn’t make sense anymore

:: Living your values without needing to be perfect

:: How systems like capitalism got made – and why we can unmake them

:: What becomes possible when we choose compassion over competition, and care over control

This one’s for anyone who feels the overwhelm of the world and still believes something else is possible. Alnoor offers a grounded, tender invitation to look at what’s happening globally as a mirror of what’s going on in our relationships, our bodies, and our everyday choices.

We hope this conversation lands in your chest, loosens some old stories, and opens up space for something more generous, more collective, and way more alive.

“Part ​of ​our ​practice ​is ​to ​become ​more ​and ​more ​aware ​of ​the ​entanglements ​so ​we ​can ​be ​in ​deeper ​and ​deeper ​service ​to ​post ​capitalist ​futures ​and ​we ​can ​remove ​the ​aspects ​of ​our ​lives ​that ​aren’t ​consistent ​with ​our ​values.” Alnoor Ladha
