The Politics of Living - Episode 7

September 6, 2017

On today's show: 

• Inessa Anderson's in-depth interview with marketing & media maven Janna Lopez, exploring the themes of destiny and determination.  Inessa and Janna talk about the dark night of the soul, life stages, foundation-shattering and accepting the unknown and all its gifts.  
• The She-Ra Solution: In the September segment of the She-Ra Solution, host Kristin Theil examines opposities and similarities.  The lives and work of Zaha Hadid, a ground-breaking architect and Muslim, and Sara Ehrman, activist and Jewish woman, showcase how each woman worked outside of expectations to accomplish their goals. 
• Peace, Love and Soup's Tave Fasce Brown and Brian Delaney are joined by Elyssia Schaeffer, Ayurvedic Practitioner, and they discuss the concept of "eating for the season", the cooling benefits of watermelon and Ayurvedic health.  Street correspondent Coco from the KBOO Youth Collective talks to Portlanders about how they pick the perfect watermelon.
