We Can't Do It Alone: Our Capacity Is Rekindled By Community (with Ess Crossley)

You, Me, Empathy

On episode 7 of We Can't Do It Alone, Nōn sits down with Ess Crossley (he/they) to explore our new project The Feely Cards (out October 22*), how helping sometimes looks like people educating us even if it feels uncomfortable, Ess's transformation from their "women phase" to their beautiful nonbinary trans little bean world, and how our capacity for love, patience, helping, and even being human is rekindled by community.
