    Oct 20 2025

    Join colLaboratory’s three 4/6 profiles for a chat from their respective roof balconies about the living assignment of Transpersonal Praxis that is the Opportunist - Role Model life.

    Quinn, Amalia, and Nic share with each other and with listeners their experiences and reflections around:

    • Shame and failure in the process of bumping into life before finding resilience or detachment “on the roof.”
    • The evolving relationship to community, friendship, and environment: finding spaces and people that allow one’s full expression to exist without defense.
    • Parentification in early role modeling
    • Balancing participation and observation: needing distance within connection, cultivating internal space while remaining relational.
    • Role models - what are they? Do we have hem?
    • Conditioning as a good thing - mutual exchange and relational influence

    And a lot more.

  • Trust is the Resource (What Does it Cost to Be Free?) ~ With Maru, Erendira, and Kelsey
    Oct 13 2025

    This is a powerful conversation (between two heretics and a role model!) embracing queries that are relevant to many creatives, like:

    “HOW TO BE RESOURCED TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT“

    “HOW TO BE RESOURCED TO JUST BE YOU”

    and

    “WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE FINANCIALLY FREE?”


    Maru, Eréndira, and Kelsey offer stories, examples, and perspectives gained in their years of deprogramming orientations to resource, success, security, and certainty.

    They discuss:

    • Letting go of metrics of success that were never theirs
    • Trajectory shifts from more “safe” and traditional career paths to the trust falls of their work lives now
    • The distinction between being intellectually committed to divesting from the stories of capitalism and colonialism verses the actual embodied movement towards that divestment
    • Trusting their bodies rather than homogenized stories to guide them to resourcedness
    • The romanticization verses the real life experience and sacrifices of “geting free”
