It’s been a while since I’ve done a solo episode, but I had an epiphany I felt called to share. In this episode I speak about my evolving relationship to four classic millennial stereotypes – that we’re triggered, sensitive, lazy and entitled, and examine them through the lens of multivalence, nuanced thinking and Alice Miller’s “Drama of the Gifted Child”. While at first I rejected these stereotypes, I have since evolved my relationship to them. I question whether it’s not better to embrace and redefine characteristics, rather than reject them outright and why embracing the multiplicitous expression of an archetype can lead to a more honest and comprehensive understanding of ourselves and others.

Kimberly (known online as “MagaMama”) combines her skills as a yoga teacher, sexological bodyworker, Rolfer and somatic experiencing trauma resolution practitioner, helping people heal from birth trauma and sexual trauma so that they can live more authentically in their bodies. She is also a writer and a mother.
