Click An Icon Below To Subscribe
In this insightful episode of The Art of Being Well, I’m joined by Stephanie Simbari, known for her podcast That’s So Retrograde, to discuss her path through podcasting, motherhood, and creative work. Stephanie shares how the pandemic’s societal shifts accelerated changes in her own life, including friendship and business partner breakups. We also cover the rise of independence in America, her thoughts on free speech, and how her home birth was an act of sovereignty. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on resilience, autonomy, and navigating today’s complex social dynamics.
A few of my favorite things we cover in this episode:
- How the pandemic impacted Stephanie’s popular podcast and the personal challenges that arose during that time.
- The effects of friendship breakups amidst the pandemic and intense societal shifts.
- Stephanie’s perspective on the rapid realignment during the pandemic, dividing those questioning the system from those maintaining it.
- The rise of independent identity in America, as more people move beyond traditional political labels in favor of freedom and autonomy.
- The existential issues Stephanie sees as impacting society most—freedom of speech, chronic health crises, and the effects of censorship on social platforms.
- Recent censorship laws targeting misinformation and hate speech, and the resulting pressures on social media platforms to navigate free speech.
- The empowering experience of home birth as an act of personal sovereignty and autonomy.
