Healthy Humans For Social Change with Jo Becker

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 08:00:00 GMT

In this episode, Jess is joined by their friend, chosen family and comrade Jo Becker. Jo and Jess met at a Civil Resistance training course a few years back and have been in each others lives since. Jo (they/she) is currently doing their PhD in the field of autonomous spaces, prefigurative politics and degrowth. This is grounded in political organising bringing anti-hierarchical, abolitionist and climate justice perspectives/praxis together.

In this episode they cover so much ground - from imagining different economies and worlds, to the importance of true solidarity, to their different thoughts on how to call people into the work of social change and their shared passion and belief that things don’t have to be this way.

Healthy Humans For Social Change with Andre Henry

Mon, 08 Jan 2024 08:00:13 GMT

TW: Racism, suicidal ideation

In this episode, Jess Mally interviews Andre Henry, bestselling author, award-winning musician, and activist based in Los Angeles.

Jess and Andre cover so much ground in this conversation - from Andre’s journey into activism, including their awakening to systemic racism, their studies and exploration of armed struggle vs nonviolent resistance as a strategy, what healthy means to them and how our movement spaces desperately need to centre care, community and relationships to sow a better future into the soil of today.

Andre shares vulnerably and openly about their own journey with depression, the way out and how that journey taught them - among other things - how the body is a key strategic battleground in the work of liberation.

It’s an incredible conversation, but it ain't short ;) so grab a cuppa or listen in two parts - we promise it’s worth it!

Healthy Humans For Social Change with Mikaela Loach

Mon, 05 Jun 2023 07:00:59 GMT

In this honest and transparent episode, Jess is joined by powerhouse and climate justice activist Mikaela Loach.

Mikaela is a climate justice activist, bestselling author of It’s Not That Radical: Climate Action to Transform Our World (April 2023), co-host of The YIKES Podcast, writer and 4th year medical student based in the United Kingdom. In 2020, Forbes, Global Citizen and BBC Woman's Hour named Mikaela as one of the most influential women in the UK climate movement. In 2021, she was one of three claimants on the "Paid To Pollute" case who took the UK government to court over the huge public payments they give to fossil fuel companies every year. Her work focuses on the intersections of the climate crisis with oppressive systems and making the climate movement a more accessible space.

In this episode Jess and Mikaela explore what climate justice actually means, how it seeks to tackle the root causes of the climate crisis, how we are all needed and have something to bring to the work and what role our own honesty and vulnerability plays on the journey,

Mikaela defines what healthy looks to her, the importance of choosing honesty over scarcity and “not pretending to know it all”!

T/W: mentions of suicide/crisis/illness

In this episode, Jess is joined by Nora Logan, in discussing her passion for disability justice including her raw and personal story about why she is passionate about health and wellness.

Nora is a writer, meditation teacher and the host of the podcast So, Life Wants You Dead, produced in collaboration with Soho House after winning their 'Soho Chance' competition in 2021.

In this conversation Nora shares her journey of going through a liver transplant and the recovery process in the face of an ableist and capitalist society.

Let’s Talk About Colourism - An Honest Conversation

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 18:15:07 GMT

In this episode, Jess is joined by three wonderful Black women to unpack the topic that is COLOURISM.Colourism is a phenomenon that shows up in the Black community and other communities of colour across the world. It is also very present in media across all forms and understanding and dismantling Colourism is crucial for true social change and authentic diversity.It is not a new phenomenon by any stretch of the imagination and it has - over centuries of white supremacy across the globe - become yet another tool of oppression.Recent events have caused Jess and Cephas to change the regularly scheduled program and dedicate this episode to this conversation.As always, we don’t claim to have all the answers, but we found it important to center the voices of darker skinned women in this conversation and I (hi Jess here ;)) have learnt SO much from listening to their experiences.I hope you will too.Please follow our guests and their work on social media.You can find Aisha on IG:@disneydiariesofablackgirl@theehoshen (her jewellery business)Feven runs an amazing candle business, you can find her on IG:@soyandjoyukYou can find our podcast via the handles below and Jess and Cephas are there too.@thethirdwaypodcast (IG) @thethirdwaypod (twitter)@jessmally @cephasazariahWe also suggested you do some further reading, here the books we mentioned:Do Better - Spiritual Activism for fighting and healing from White Supremacy by Rachel RickettsThe Color Complex: The Politics of Skin Color in a New Millennium

Black Lives Matter - a response to recent events

Fri, 05 Jun 2020 10:29:15 GMT

In this episode, co-host Cephas interviews Jess Mally about the recent events in regards to racism in the US, the global response and the urgent calls for change here in the UK.The episode was recorded one day after Jess attended the Black Lives Matter protest in London and is a raw and honest expression. This isn’t a polished conversation and we certainly hadn’t planned to release this type of episode as our first one. However it felt wrong to abide by our initial schedule - business as usual is out the window.We hope that this conversation will shed light on the dynamics at work when it comes to systemic racism and add to the calls across the world that changes have to be made and they have to be made now.Jess references a few books and resources those who want to start the work of antiracism might want to pick up. You can find a small list below.There is so much more that can be said and done and we at The Third Way are committed to playing our part in bringing change. So this is only the first of many episodes addressing these issues.Our introductory episode in which we give context to the podcast, introduce ourselves and more will air next Wednesday (10th June 2020).In the mean time, we hope you find this episode helpful and we would love to hear from you.Follow us on instagram @thethirdwaypodcast and twitter @thethirdwaypodThank you for listening.Jess and CephasBOOKS TO READ:Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race - Rennie Eddo LodgeMe and White Supremacy - Layla F SaadWhite Fragility - Robin DiAngeloNatives - AkalaBlack and British.
