What's In Your Survival Kit?
Welcome to Season 5 Episode 4 of Two Wives and A SPARK!
In this tender episode, we’re leaning into vulnerability, reflection, and the quiet power of the pause. As we prepare to wrap this season, we’re not closing a door—we’re tending to what’s in our survival kits. Because living our values means making space for rest, reflection, and presence.
Together, we explore:
-
How micro joys are helping us navigate the overwhelm of these times
-
What’s in our personal survival kits when the world gets loud
-
Why pausing is not quitting, but a practice of trust and alignment
Resources Referenced in this Episode:
-
Audre Lorde quote - “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare”
-
Rainer Maria Rilke quote - “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer”
This conversation is meant to be a soft landing in the storm, a reminder to notice what’s sustaining you, and a gentle invitation to live into the questions.
