226. The Tower Can Also Be Soft with Danielle Houser, Janessa Quinn, and Emily Pumm
Episode Description
In the episode, Britten LaRue is joined by TMT Alums Danielle Houser, Janessa Quinn, and Emily Pumm for an exploration of a paradoxical phrase: The Tower Can Also Be Soft. Together, they share how they found Britten's work and The Magician's Table, what it felt like inside the container, and how their offerings shifted through the experience - threading themes of choice, vulnerability, spiritual diversity, confidence, and the tenderness that can hold us through big transformation.
Topics They Cover:
-
Finding Britten's work and coming into their Yes for The Magician's Table (including hesitation around logistics, money, timing, and identity)
-
The paradox of a "soft tower," and how choosing participation can change the texture of transformation
-
The container as a place of disarming vulnerability, mutual respect, and a kind of softness that made experimenting feel safe
-
What they'd tell someone who feels unsure they belong, doesn't know how they'll make it work, or is afraid to use their voice
