A Loving Disruption with Elena Kunkel

Elena Kunkel 1 Episodes Sep 24, 2026

A Loving Disruption explores the idea that the opposite of depression is not happiness but expression. Host Elena Kunkel examines the gap between functioning and feeling fully alive, discussing how accessing all parts of oneself—appetite, anger, humor, ideas, desire, taste, conviction—can lead to profound change. Each week, she talks with artists, founders, neuroscientists, somatic practitioners, coaches, philosophers, astrologers, and others who understand what brings a person online and what shuts them down.

Success Is None of Your Business
Success Is None of Your Business Aug 3, 2026 1719 My six-year-old daughter looked at me and asked, “Mom, what can I do where I can win a trophy?”It was wildly convicting because I could hear my own relationship with work inside that question.

Turns out, it can mak
