Listen "SurThriving - The Space Between"
Episode Synopsis
What if thriving isn’t the opposite of surviving?In this episode, Thomas explores the beautiful tension between the two, a hybrid he calls SurThriving. With warmth, humor, and a dose of neuroscience, he unpacks how endurance becomes evolution and how survival itself can be sacred.Thomas shares a personal story from his memoir Little Fag: A Story of Self-Acceptance and Healing, and draws wisdom from Dr. Thema Bryant, Brittney Cooper, Rachel Cargle, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Ocean Vuong.You’ll learn two SurThriving Practices:The Daily Debrief — a two-minute ritual to reframe survival as wisdom. The Joy Rebellion — a practice of choosing delight as a radical act of healing.Because somewhere between holding on and letting go, we find the rhythm of being beautifully, imperfectly human.
