In Part 2 of my chat with Freya we cover: Why I don’t want to learn from any more white men. Why compassionate/empathetic people are attracted to cults. The “rescuer” archetype and the “drama triangle” Fawning/friending/pleasing/fornicating/“tend and befriend” and your nervous system. The danger of unchecked charisma. How to use charisma responsibly and not become a cult leader. Using “presence” as a weapon. The difference between energetic states and stages of psychological development. “Human-denying philosophies.” The difference between victim consciousness and victimization. Hyper personal responsibility. Critical race theory and epigenetics. Schizotypal personality disorder and “ideas or reference” and “creating your own reality.”

Welcome to Season 2 of The Baby in The Bathwater Podcast. Exciting things are coming! Stay tuned for chats with Taylor Lorenz, Anke Richter, Mangala Holland, Darrin Drda and more. In this season opener Annie talks with award-winning writer and broadcaster Daniel James. Daniel is a Yorta Yorta man based on Wurundjeri land in Naarm/Melbourne. They discuss the upcoming Australian Constitutional Referendum which seeks to create an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. Sadly, this issue has become a hotbed of disinformation and conspiracy theories from the far right, including influences from far beyond Australia's shores.

Daniel’s work explores notions of empathy, intergenerational trauma, hidden history and the political landscape that continues to shape the lives of Aboriginal people across Australia. You can hear him on the radio on 3RRR FM on Tuesdays at 7pm (AEST) and read his weekly column in The Monthly. Daniel has also done a series of podcast episodes about the Referendum with the 7am Podcast,
