224. Boulder High Schooler Anya Hoth talks w/ Waylon about how we can all be Eco. Mar 15, 2024

Show notes

Waylon features fellow Boulderite and high school senior Anya Hoth about how we can all live an "ecofolks" lifestyle. They talk over living zero waste, eco transportation, how environmentalism is related to our health, if voting matters, and how parents can inspire their children to give a care.

Waylon: "I don't want to sound like old people everywhere, but how old are you..?"

Anya: "I'm 18! I would like to talk about the potency of changing our actions to help the climate in this dire and gloomy doomy time."

Waylon: "Yeah. Everyone's kind of depressed. We don't know what to do. We kind of hope the president or the king or the emperor of the universe takes care of stuff. And a lot of us do "eco" things like you and I in our own life, but we often hear that doing things is pointless and doesn't matter."

Anya: "Everyone working together really needs to happen. You need to think wide-scale and say, 'Hey, it's not just Boulder working on this problem. It's all the counties in Denver, all the counties outside of Denver—Broomfield, Aurora—all over the state, and all over the country. The world. We need to start using each other's ideas.'"

223. Virtue Signaling can be a Good Thing. ~ Waylon Lewis Mar 11, 2024

Show notes

In this week's Mindful Monday video & podcast, Waylon talks about virtue signaling—the notion that annoying people love to annoyingly talk, tweet, or otherwise show off their perfect little values—values they may not actually care about.

"It's incumbent on all of us to grow up, examine our hearts—our capacity to care about one another. Nothing's wimpy about that. Nothing's stronger than caring. And nothing's weaker than oppressing others, or being incapable or scared to feel compassion." ~ Waylon Lewis

We really want to encourage Black women and girls to start from that place of loving the way your hair grows out of your scalp, and then letting that dictate the different ways that you style your hair." ~ Melissa Burlock Read an excerpt from their book on Elephant Journal: My Divine Natural Hair. ~ Shelia, Sylvia, and Melissa Burlock *This is a partial conversation.
