Conversations about race are incredibly uncomfortable, which is exactly why we ought to have more meaningful conversations about it. Why on a mental health podcast? Because your discomfort is a sign you have work to do on yourself and this is a way to do just that. So let's dig in and have a different conversation about race, especially us white people who avoid them the most as many studies have shown. When we show up better when we show up where it's uncomfortable.....we grow, expand and elevate our life experience.

This often results in actions & behaviors that don't align with our most authentic selves. We become trapped in pleasing others while sacrificing who we are, creating more distance from being free. Your freedom resides in your ability to be the most authentic version of yourself. I've come to a place in my life where I have found how freeing it is to just be yourself! To just be authentically you, whoever that is, just be that.
