In the latest episode of the Lundy's Work Podcast, we voyage into pertinent topics of oppression, societal marginalization, wealth distribution, and individual wellness. Our episode ignites conversations around the mystifying number '8,' marginalization, and the systemic oppressors in society's structure, articulating core insights through vivid anecdotes and personal experiences.

This edition further dives into the insidious nature of the 'us versus them' culture and its damaging effect on mental health and wellbeing. Emphasizing the significance of accessible mental health services, we spotlight Khesed Wellness, an affordable therapy nonprofit designed to serve all of us.

Echoing seamlessly into our main discussion, we review 'The Future,' an apocalyptic business and near-future book by Naomi Alderman. We then proceed to uncover four ways to think about the oppressive energy that influences both societal trends and personal behaviors, adversely impacting wellness culture and company policies.

Alongside the exploration of tangible topics, we delve into spirituality, identity, oppression complacency, and the multi-faceted oppressive disguises. Through personal experiences of navigating evangelical Christianity and queer and trans identities, we present a compelling dialogue.

Uncovering the essence of humanity and transactional world views, the episode erects a powerful message: mental health is a human right. We conclude by urging listeners to play an active role in healing collective traumas, shifting power dynamics, and overthrowing systemic oppression. Tune in to join the enlightening journey towards personal wellness and societal transformation.
