In this episode Weeze and Trudi wrap up are series with a special invitation to eXpand. eXpansion is the process of liberation, personal exploration, equity, and transformation of our personal and social futures, and for the first time in three years, they are partnering up to facilitate this journey in a 4-month container that you are invited to.

If liberation isn't the goal, or destination (as we covered in vignette 3) then what is? In this vignette Weeze & Trudi share the next step in the process of personal liberation and expansion, defining the destination.

In this vignette, Weeze and Trudi explore reframing the concept of liberation from a destination or goal, to a process and practice.

In this episode we talk about the importance of reimagining what's possible in our lives, in our work, our world, and more. Weeze and Trudi have been on a reimagining journey of their own, both when it comes to their personal and collaborative work. We'll continue to talk about why reimagining is an important process in liberation and anti-oppression work.

Trudi and Weeze are going rouge and have decided to release a 5-part minisode to catch you up, and bring you up to speed and where we're at and where we're going, The basics: That's Not How That Works is coming back with a new team, an upleved vibe, and expanded vision of the future... and we want you to come with us. We have big plans and we'd love for you to join us. Take a screenshot of the episode, share it to Instagram @trudilebron and @accordingtoweeze to skip ahead and get even more details about what we're up to and how can be down :)

The world is on fire, y’all and there’s so much to unpack both globally and personally. There are actual wars going on—the war on the Black and queer communities as well as voting rights here in the U.S. happening simultaneously with the war in Ukraine—and some major life and business changes for us as well. So we’re gonna take a little break, y’all. But before we go, don’t miss today’s episode where we’re breaking down all of this, sharing updates on our lives and the podcast, and leaving you with some things to do and ruminate on while we’re gone to make things more equitable in YOUR world. Let’s explore: - What bothers us particularly about the war in Ukraine - Some small things you can do that can make massive shifts for people - The changes Weeze has been making in her business to make things more accessible and equitable (and an invitation to rethink your own business practices as well!) - Why we’re stepping away from the podcast (temporarily!) - Trudi’s big news Pre-order your copy of Trudi's book: The Anti-Racist Business Book For the full story on Weeze’s eye condition, go back and listen to Ep. #102: Your Urgency is Not my Emergency Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/trudilebron https://instagram.com/accordingtoweeze https://instagram.com/nothowthatworks Music by Dennis “Aganee” Jenkins https://www.aganee.com https://instagram.com/therealaganee

Then you don’t want to miss today’s episode where Trudi and Weeze are breaking down the expectations (and massive misconceptions) that come from the kind of work that we do, THIS thing that’s happening with the language of anti-racism and anti-oppression, and why more than ever it's important to give people the space to be human. We're unpacking: The imaginary social contracts between high visibility figures and those receiving their free service (and why it’s bullshit) What to do if you’re on either end of this imaginary social contract How to balance doing DEI work and taking care of yourself Why Weeze has been less active on social media lately Pre-order your copy of Trudi's book: The Anti-Racist Business Book Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/trudilebron https://instagram.com/accordingtoweeze https://instagram.com/nothowthatworks Want to work with us?
