	Description:		This episode traces how want eclipses love, why our nervous systems cling to the status quo, and what it looks like to re-center care—personally, politically, and on the block where we actually live. In this episode The “want machine” vs. the memory of love Need as interruption—and why that’s the point Motherwork as a political ethic (remembering, soothing, staying) Homeostasis/allostasis 101: why change feels impossible From dominance to care: reframing “strength” Micro-rituals for turning your sight inward (bath, breath, boundaries) Neighborhood resilience: co-ops, block pantries, bees & barter Five takeaways Want is loud; need is quiet. Train your attention toward the quiet. Biology isn’t destiny. Stability bias (homeostasis) explains the resistance—and invites patient, repeated, embodied reps. Motherwork is governance. Remembering and soothing are political acts. Care scales locally first. Start with neighbors; build small systems that keep people sane and fed. Strength ≠ dominance. Try courage with compassion.
