How to Slow Cook the Truth

In this first episode of Kitchen Table Sauce, I invite you into the place that taught me how to hold contradiction: my Nana’s kitchen table. It’s where rage and tenderness, jealousy and love, laughter and grief all got to coexist. The place I first learned that staying with the mess — not rushing to fix or simplify it — is how we actually grow sturdy enough to hold real connection and conviction.

We’ll explore what it means to simmer in complexity in a world that prefers simplicity – build capacity to sit in nuance, to witness ourselves fully, and to see each other’s humanity even when it’s uncomfortable. 

We’ll wander through:

🌶️ what it actually means to slow-cook truth instead of blasting it on high

🌶️ how to build capacity for nuance when your nervous system wants certainty

🌶️ why binaries (good/bad, right/wrong, us/them) are a scam

🌶️ simple, embodied ways to practice nuance

🌶️ how community, curiosity, and a little humor are the antidotes to propaganda, self-abandonment, and burnout

So pull up a chair. Bring your contradictions. Simmer out loud. There’s room for all of it here.
