Idelisse on "bitchcraft" practices:
Always have younger friends, younger and older. You know, I read somewhere that you should have at least one friend for every decade of life, right? I have a handful of friends in their 20s easing into their 30s and then another handful in their 30s easing into their 40s, right? They are just amazing. And adrienne maree brown is one of those. And she was the first person who ever described me as an elder, right? When I met her, I think I was 60-something. And I was at this training, and it was very kind of low point in my life where I was just feeling old and kind of you know, what am I gonna do now in my life? And we did this, we had this wonderful session. We were at the end of the session. We're reporting back about how we feel now, right? And you do all these exercises, right? So I think I said something like, “I came in like a downtrodden matron, and I'm leaving as radiant hottie.”
Thank you for this! This is exactly the kind of podcast I need in my audio arsenal!
