In this episode, we’re tackling a big question: can feminism and capitalism coexist?
A half-decade on Nomad and Spice! The world has changed a whole lot since we started but one thing is for sure: we’re glad to be navigating it alongside our intrepid gang of feminist explorers. We are honoured that you spend time with us in your ears when there are so many other things in the world you could be listening to.
Nomading has changed a lot in the last few years, so we decided to do an episode evaluating what our old life didn’t allow. We’re looking for silver linings and also to be realistic about the fact that the nomad lifestyle isn’t *whispers* without flaws and drawbacks.
From outfits, rings and wedding gifts to bridal parties, speeches and choosing surnames - this episode features all the things you should consider when planning a feminist wedding, and, as always, a lot of ranting about gender norms.
This episode is full of tips and tricks on how to support yourself if you are neurodivergent. We talk about strategies and ADHD hacks, therapy and medication, and why it is so important to increase awareness of neurodivergence.
This is the first of our two-part series on ADHD, autism and the whole spectrum of neurodivergence.
