Dismantle Binary Thinking with Sky Cubacub

A lot of people talk about wanting their funeral to be a celebration of life, but Sky Cubacub (Rebirth Garments) has thought concretely about what that looks like. Sky's experienced a lot of death recently, and rebirth is a foundational concept in their work.

We talk about reimagining every facet of life and the struggles that came AFTER Sky's rebirthing ceremony. We also geek out over Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Content warning: Sky and I talk a fair amount about suicidal ideation and other mental illness stuff in this episode.
