Threads of Connection with Dean Spade

Dean Spade joins the pod this week to discuss his book, Love in a Fucked Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up and Raise Hell Together. He brings a sharp, layered perspective on how we are shaped by the systems around us—and how we can wake up to the patterns of control we’ve internalized. Together, we explore what it means to turn our relationships into spaces for healing, liberation, and deeper connection.
