DEPTH Work: A Holistic Mental Health Podcast

82. Building Bridges Across Generations with Abby Kamen


Listen Later

Ever have an existential crisis that made you upend all your beliefs about who you thought you were in life? Abby has, and today she speaks to the power of unlearning oppressive ideologies that we all have inherited, and how patriarchy can seep into all notions of what’s healthy, normal, and how we should live. Abby’s work centers on cultivating shame resilience through allowing ourselves to engage in “belief grief” - giving up toxic beliefs about our roles and identities so we can foster collective liberation. We also talk about bridging generational divides and the gifts that come when we can learn to listen especially to younger folks.

In this episode we discuss:

  • the value of existential crises
  • getting unstuck from gender roles and refusing to live someone else’s story
  • finding your voice in midlife
  • how mentors and teachers show up in all places in life - even within your children
  • knowing your privilege, cultivating shame resilience and being willing to change your mind
  • ‘belief grief’ and letting harmful internalized beliefs go
  • Abby Kamen's Bio:

    I am an artist, author, and energist. With candor and wit, I seek to provide a thought provoking look at generational trauma and the cyclical effects of survivalism. With my art, my writing, and my energetic gifts, I provide an innovative approach to collective healing that will enable all of humanity to create better, together. I live in Louisville, KY.
