Ep. 165 Questioning Culture with Richie Reseda

Richie Reseda is a feminist ally, community organizer, recording artist, and founder of the social-impact record label, Question Culture. Success Stories, the anti-patriarchy organization he started while incarcerated, was chronicled in the CNN documentary “The Feminist on Cell Block Y.” He changes California prison policy with Initiate Justice, an organization he co-founded in prison.  🌟 Some Key Points from this Conversation with Richie: 1. His role in introducing Bell Hooks’ work to incarcerated men as a way to illustrate and push back on the “Soul murder” a patriarchal society demands of men 2. How to teach our children to understand the truth of their power so they can learn to reach for love and safety over fear, vs the false ideations this society has conditioned them about where their power lies 3. Why our work is not to strive for reform, but rather the abolition of the colonial system we’re currently living in 4. The importance of understanding that society’s ‘rules of governance’ are essentially violence that perpetuates more violence, given that they are not collaborative and created with a community’s and consent  5. Why the patriarchal narrative of right and wrong or ‘good and bad’ always equate to a form of domination, and why the evolution of a Soul-based societal perspective is rooted in curiosity, consent, and community collaboration  You can see Richie in the CNN documentary “The Feminist on Cell Block Y” Connect with Richie Instagram Question Culture Instagram For Everyone Collective Instagram 🎙This podcast is definitely Cheaper than Therapy 🌐 Dive Deeper Into The Show: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cheaperthantherapypodcast  Instagram: @cheaperthantherapythepodcast TikTok: @cheaperthantherapypod Connect with Vanessa: Instagram: @vanessasbennett TikTok: @thecodayoda YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@vanessabennettlmft5631  Connect with Dené: Instagram: @dene.logan TikTok: @denelogan Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

Vanessa Bennett and Dené Logan are two soul sisters and therapists who connected over their shared love of depth psychology—known as the psychology of the soul. It is a template for diving beneath the surface to examine the complex natures of being human while on the quest for wholeness, including the relationship to spirit. Through their training and lived experiences with depth, yogic psychology, and mindfulness, they developed a passion for supporting others in living their most authentic lives while cultivating a fulfilling and rich relationship with the Self, capital “S.”Every Wednesday, Vanessa and Dené look to demystify, de-stigmatize, and desensitize what goes on both inside the therapy room and in daily life, through soul-provoking conversations with fellow seekers, thought leaders, changemakers, and real people during live coaching sessions as they navigate the hard work it takes to be a human.This podcast is, for sure, Cheaper Than Therapy. Follow Cheaper Than TherapyInstagram: @cheaperthantherapypodcastTikTok: @cheaperthantherapypodYouTube: @cheaperthantherapypodcastConnect with Vanessa:Instagram: @vanessasbennettTikTok: @thecodayodaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@vanessabennettlmft5631 Connect with Dené:Instagram: @dene.loganTikTok: @denelogan
