Cosmic Connections
Notes de l’épisode
In this special crossover episode, we’re sharing Episode 3 of cosmic cheer squad—our new podcast from the Positive Disintegration Network. Chris and Bee are joined by a very special guest: Emma Nicholson, co-host of Positive Disintegration, for an in-person, around-the-table conversation recorded in Madison, Wisconsin.
Together, they reflect on:
* How they became friends and collaborators through the theory of positive disintegration
* The idea of cosmic pockets as a way to hold intense feelings until it’s safe to process them
* Inner critics, intrusive thoughts, and how to rewrite old narratives
* Parenting yourself while raising others
* Emotional trampolines, anti-cults, and resisting illegitimate authority
* Why the Gravitron might be the perfect metaphor for development
Plus: Bee’s legendary toffee, Aussie accent jokes, trench coat metaphors, and the beginnings of a truly cozy counterculture.
💫 It’s part reunion, part origin story, and all heart. Come sit with us.
