S3 E4: Boost Your Oxytocin!

Episode 16

Thursday, May 29, 2025 • Duration 01:10:50

The Cozy Impact Pod Season 3, Episode 4: Boost Your Oxytocin!

Welcome back to the Cozy Impact Pod, where we explore how softness, joy, and embodiment can be powerful tools for change.

In this episode, Malia and Julia reconnect after a full season of life and work. They reflect on burnout, shifting energy cycles, and the ways we find rest in a world that rarely slows down. From crocheting sea turtles to walking through botanic gardens, they explore how small sensory pleasures, like touching yarn or eating a peach, can ground us when things feel overwhelming.

They also dig into the deeper currents under their work: imposter syndrome, the pressure to have all the answers, and how meritocracy and white supremacy culture show up even in our most well-intentioned spaces. Together, they ask: What would it mean to embrace “I don’t know” as a radical practice? And how can we find comfort without losing our fire for justice?

This is an episode about pausing, recalibrating, and remembering that connection is a form of impact.

Season 1 · Episode 7

Wednesday, January 24, 2024 • Duration 01:03:52

We tend to place "difficulty" on a pedestal, celebrating when people work hard. But where did we learn that it has to be hard? Why is easy bad? And is easy the opposite of hard or can we look to pleasure, softness, and play as antidotes to widespread burnout from the constant effort we're encouraged to make.
