written by Kate Northrup

To kick off 2019, we’re so happy to be bringing you the author of Kate’s favorite book of 2018! Adrienne Maree Brown is the author of Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds, as well as the upcoming book, Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good – we’re so excited to be talking with Adrienne today!

Adrienne is a writer, a sci-fi Octavia Butler Scholar, an organizational healer, and a pleasure activist. She’s also a facilitator; a life, love, relationship and work coach; a network weaver; speaker; singer; and doula.

In this episode, Adrienne talks about her popular book and why it resonates so much with people, her experiences as a doula, time expansion, and a whole lot more.

Adrienne has tapped into a truth that has lived in all of our bodies and all of nature for so long, and how she articulates this is so fascinating. It was our honor to start this new year of podcasts by interviewing Adrienne Maree Brown.

We can’t wait for you to listen in!
