Ep 42: Eli Lawliet, PhD on Supporting Ourselves and Our Community Through Social and Political Stress
Nov 09, 2023

Today's guest is Eli Lawliet, PhD (he/him), known by many as The Gender Doula.  This is the conversation to listen to for any of you who may be feeling some stress, anxiety, and fear in response to the continuously challenging political landscapes of our world. Anti-LGBTQ+ legislation is being proposed, passed, and upheld all throughout the world, and here in the United States we are anticipating a 2024 Presidential Election year. Eli grounds us all with such great invitations and advice for how to navigate these challenging times. 

In addition to offering great resourcing practices and invitations for the listener navigating political stress and fear, Eli also talks with us about such things as:

  • transness and queerness as spiritual practices
  • the power of being in relationship with our trans and queer ancestors
  • what his work as a gender doula entails,
  • and how we all need to heal our relationship with gender
