Growing Time By Giving Time with Alida Miranda-Wolff - EP 12 Minisode #2
Manage episode 376745524 series 3432195
Caring for patients, clients, or family members keeps care workers incredibly busy—but where does that time go? Our society and economy are so focused on win-lose scenarios, it’s easy to forget that when we give freely of our time and care, we don’t come out at a loss. Instead, we—not to mention our community—get so much more in return.
In the second minisode of the Care Work Podcast, host Alida Miranda-Wolff discusses how care work relates to cultivating a garden, a concept explored by the author Jenny Odell.
Listen to Alida unearth some of society’s misunderstandings:
- The concept of time as a finite resource
- Society’s fascination with zero-sum games
- Undervaluing the time given by those who came before us
- The notion that we must lose time if we give time
