Vulnerability and tending to what is important is particularly critical in a chaotic time. After my wrapping my interview with Cher Hale, she inquired into my next steps around demanding attention. As listeners who gift me your attention, it seemed appropriate to share with you my own in the moment reflections on attention and what’s important about it to me. Together, Cher and I share insights around unlearning supremacy conditioning, the power of community, and the transformative impact of nervous system work. This pre-season bonus episode offers a glimpse into aspects of my personal growth journey along with an update on the status of this podcast.
In this episode of Unlimited, Cher Hale (she/her), invited me to explore my relationship to vulnerability and tending to what is important.
Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:
- My personal reflections on vulnerability, emotional safety, and the impact of supremacy culture
- The importance of community, storytelling, and doing things that matter rather than just looking good
- The role of nervous system work in building the courage to ask for what I need
- My process of unpacking individualistic thinking and hierarchies to reclaim my own agency
