This episode goes into some territory that’s tricky to discuss and uncomfortable to look at: internalized patriarchy and racism. Andrea and I are two white women who tread this space carefully and with respect; seeking to understand, heal, and create awareness around these issues that have maligned, subjugated, and separated humanity for millennia. We are living in a time of deconstruction on multiple levels  -inside ourselves and within all institutions. My new friend Andrea Ward Berg is a Human Design specialist whose career path has spanned 15+ corporate jobs and 7 years of entrepreneurship, working in 10+ countries.   

 

• Unpacking “white colonization” & “white feminism”

• Foundations of institutional racism 

• Being a merciful witness to your inner illusions & beliefs that create fear & separation

• Monitoring your “mindspeak” & connecting to joy as keys for collective healing

• How your Human Design (think Myers Briggs meets Astrology) can serve a liberation tool from harmful programming
