Right Where You Are

Welcome to every present moment ever. Welcome to Right Where You Are with Khanyisa. Talking everything humaning and being present in our human experiences....

This episode takes place in my bedroom, in my childhood home. We dive into the concept of taking up space and some of my philosophical takes on this phenomenon. I then share a bit of my own story on my decision to take up space by allowing my ideas and desires come to life, including the idea of this podcast.With much loveKhanyisaDon't forget to breatheAnd welcome to Right Where You Are...

“SHAME ON YOU!” It seems the whole world is constantly screaming these words at us. “You are unworthy, invalid, inferior.”This episode takes place at the gym, and I speak about shame and my theories on its origins in human history. I then add my take on it as an unhealthy and unnatural emotion, and definitely not an effective one.This one’s long and filled with some academic references. I’ve added a bibliography below. I’ve also created a Guide on my Instagram (@khanyis.isibhakabhaka). Otherwise, enjoy. And feel free to shoot me a DM with your own opinions or arguments on this.With loveKhanReference listWays of Seeing by John BergerThe video of the BBC production "Ways of Seeing" (Episode 2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU_RToLqOsADiscipline and Punish : The Birth of the Prison by Michel FoucaultVisual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema by Laura Mulvey. pp. 6-18Peter A Levine, PhD on Shame - Interview by Caryn Scotto D'Luzia: https://youtu.be/i2CN5nhmfxkNot mentioned:Performative Acts and Gender Constitution: An Essay in Phenomenology and Feminist Theory, by Judith Butler.

This episode is a gesture of appreciation for you, beloved listener. Because in all of space, and all of time, with infinite possibilities... what were the chances that this podcast found you... Right Where You Are........

We did it Joe! We've come to the end of season 1 of RWYA... Or maybe we didn't do it Joe. Maybe it's too imperfect to let it come to an end. Are we really going to end the season off on episode 6? With only 3 "full" episodes, and another 3 episodes that basically say the same thing? YES! Yes we are.This episode is about allowing our creations to be imperfect, incomplete, messy and... human. We explore the importance of showing up imperfectly, in the fullness of our human expression. In fact, this was the very lesson the spirit of Right Where You Are wanted to teach. And I'm grateful to have had that be the first.To many more🥂Khanyisa......

Hello! Welcome to season 2.The theme for the season is Learner Human.Because that is what I am. A Leaner Human. Awakening. Becoming. BeingI'm excited for what this journey holds for usSincerelyKhanyisa(Excuse the mic movement noises. I needed to move my body in order to feel present with this process)......

Long time no see, my friends!I am back from a much needed hiatus and we’re kicking off Season 2 with a huge caveat for whenever things get... political.Let’s be honest, it’s quite difficult to observe the human condition and to be Right Where We Are without noticing that everything (and I mean e👏🏾ve👏🏾ry👏🏾thing👏🏾) is intrinsically connected to the realm of the socio-political. In this episode, we explore a new way of thinking/talking about politics that is not divisive and does not result in more conflict. This is a paradigm shifting perspective that can create the liberation we so deeply desire. ...My blog-site: https://learnerhuman.com/Show notes for this episode: https://learnerhuman.com/2023/07/11/earth-is-spinning/Follow me on the gram for podcast updates and more conversations: @learnerhuman......

Everything I said in episode 1 is true. And the opposite is also... true. Let's play a bit of devil's advocate and find ways to hold polar opposites as true in our hearts. Putting self-responsibility and self-compassion in one basket, creating a magical and revolutionary paradox.[spontaneous, unscripted & straight from the heart]People mentioned:@ayandastood@simplysayo@peathefeary(all on Instagram)Enjoy💚🌍......
