“Mad Skills”

In episode 2 of season 3, Lacette and Ebony zero in on the knowledge, skills, abilities, and tools (KSAT) that form the backbone of liberated relationships. They break down how understanding trauma, systemic oppression, and our own emotional patterns can help us show up authentically. Listeners learn why strong communication, conflict resolution, and emotional intelligence are vital “mad skills,” and how resources like Nonviolent Communication and self-awareness tools (e.g., Enneagram, Myers-Briggs) can foster deeper connections. Whether you’re exploring new ways to communicate or working through past baggage, this episode offers practical steps toward healing, wholeness and freedom in your relationships.
