Take down the hierarchy? When I started to think of how hierarchies are harmful, I had to also think about how they were beneficial. There’s a threshold for both. So if imagine outside of the hierarchy, I began to imagine theories like Maslow’s Hierarchy instead as Maslow’s Rings. At the center, you are self-actualized. On the outside, is your physiological experience. Kind of makes sense! Right? 
Doctor of Clinical Psychology, PsyD., middle aged, mother of two young adults, Latina, neurodivergent, came from the dirt and clawed my way out through the US education system, digital and AI artist, web programmer, writer, pure water elemental, dark creature, and goddess of water (one of many)!
I am one, of infinite possibilities.
This is me, who are you?
