<![CDATA[The Sufficiency and Wellbeing Experience]]>What makes life meaningful, emancipatory, and worth living beyond simply “having enough”? Sufficiency and Wellbeing Experience is a weekly talk show exploring life beyond colonial capitalist ideas of endless exploitation, growth, and productivity. Through informal yet informed conversations on ecology, intersectional politics, wellbeing, bodily integrity, care, joy, love, and resistance, the show asks how we can build truly flourishing futures within planetary boundaries. Speaking from the margins, movements, and spaces of embodied resistance, the show critically engages with inequality, silenced voices, hidden and slow forms of violence, and elite narratives, while understanding hope not as naïve optimism, but as a politics of resistance grounded in place, emotion, vulnerability, critical thinking, and the audacity to imagine liberation despite far-right authoritarianism, fear, and ecological uncertainty.
