The parallels between our fitness spaces, corporations and our political landscape are becoming more apparent by the day.  Rhetoric, divisiveness, performative allyship, and bullying  are all elements at play once the motivation to "win" supersedes our espoused value system.  It there where both dissonance and decision making meet.  Accountability in this landscape comes in many forms and it is up to us (as leaders, instructors, community members, etc) to determine how that shows up to influence the correct outcomes.  In this episode, Mark and Ashley discuss the parallels, their own journeys within the spaces and an associated call to action.

Welcome Back! 

We're stoked to be with you for another season of Conversations in Courage. Thank you so much for being a part of this community. 

In this episode, we're talking about courage. Courage is not a gift, it is a practice. And given where we are as a world right now, it is a practice that often requires daily, intentional effort. Join us as we unpack this topic and also discuss the connection between Fear, Hope and Empathy and how together, these emotions can formulate a strategy to transcend difficult times.

Queer & Trans Resilience WkBk by Anneliese Singh - the author created a facilitator's guide that is free with permission on her website here - a brilliant teaching assistant for anyone leading groups, classes, workshops, or working one on one with queer and trans youth: Facilitator's guide 

Redefining Realness by Janet Mock- This is a personal retelling and reflection on moments and scenes from her life. I think especially for trans humans who come out in their adult human years, this provides a lot of relatable material, as well as simply being an incredible story told so naturally. 

Sissy by Jacob Tobia - a very current, very accessible memoir from one of the most affirming and fearless voices in the NB/trans community today. 

"Boy Meets Girl" dir. Eric Schaeffer; starring Michelle Hendley - This movie is from 2014, but it is earnest and beautiful and the lead is in fact played by a trans woman, so her reactions and attitudes are authentic. 

 "Disclosure" dir. Sam Feder - Trans folks and Netflix This film is all about unlearning as it explores the varied (and awful) ways trans humans have been portrayed (and otherwise misrepresented/erased) from the media since moving pictures have been around.
