🫂 How to Hold it All — Self-Employment in Hard Times with Shivani Mehta Bhatia
▸ Show notes from the creator
This week, we end season seven of Off the Grid with an honest conversation about self-employment amidst polycrisis.
I’m joined by the inimitable Shivani Mehta Bhatia — who returns to the show to help us weave our experiences of grief, witnessing, conflict, rest, deep sorrow, and profound joy.
It’s been a long year, and we quite literally laugh and cry as we reflect on how 2025 has clarified our commitments — including how we’ve (imperfectly) kept working through it all.
Tune in, then if you want to process together: join me for a free end-of-year journalling session on December 9th. We'll gather, look back at 2025, and do our best to hold it all collectively. 🫂
