Clarify Your Calling

What does real allyship look like? In the wake of continued racial unrest and our heightened cultural awareness of racial inequity, this episode is a valuable exploration of what it looks like to practically steward the privileges we have now. Rather than “giving a voice” to anyone, our best next step might be to pass the mic. On this episode of the podcast, we continue our conversation with the SVP of Kafene, Elisabeth Wadsworth, to discuss allyship, privilege, and what is stoking the passions of her heart now.

When the world as you know it gets dismantled and disrupted, how can you rebuild better? What does it look like practically to steward the resources and privilege you have to make the world a better place? On this episode of the podcast, SVP of Kafene, Elisabeth Wadsworth joins us to share her learnings from the life planning process with Chanel. She dives into the beauty of living in cities and shares her personal definition of stewardship in the midst of a tumultuous age.

What does it look like to get caught in the trap of over-performance? This episode will help you break free from possible burnout, exhaustion, or lack of focus by exploring one the ways we can use our talents for evil instead of good. By that, I mean the negative ways we can apply our really good gifts of skill, competency and strength, that cause us to be ensnared in cycles of mental, emotional, and sometimes literal physical fatigue.

If you’re struggling to move forward, it might be unresolved pain from the past that is keeping you stuck. Wounds that have yet to heal will cause reactivity in your present - like those moments when you snap and want to run over to slap someone who you feel offended you with a level 10 attack when it was really a level 5 insult. But if you can prioritize your personal healing, those same wounds can become wings instead of weights in the pursuit of your calling.
