Today’s episode is dedicated to all the families who have been brutalized by ICE for far too long, and to the protesters and people in Minnesota who have lost their lives in the fight for justice and collective liberation. This conversation about shame, healing, and accountability feels especially meaningful in moments of profound pain. Shame is inseparable from the systems of dominance that try to silence, control, and dehumanize. Let this moment remind us what is at stake when the cost of standing up to power is so high. But the cost of standing down is even higher.
Please join me in a deep dive about shame with my friend, Dr. Keren Sofer. If you would like to connect with Keren, you can find all her offerings here: drkerensofer.com
