In this episode, we discuss the book that changed both our lives and how women are the change we need right now. We talk about how white women are challenged with truly being in community with each other, how white folks also loose in a culture of white supremacy, and how we can go about doing the work of reclaiming our personal and collective souls.
This week the call to action is to reflect on - what are YOUR gifts, wounds, and passions? Where do they intersect? How can you leverage your gifts, wounds, and passions to live more deeply aligned? If you’re already clear on this for yourself, how can you be a catalyst for someone else to realize this intersection for themselves and live with a greater level of integrity and alignment? Then take the next step either for yourself or to stand for someone you care about.
