Today I sat down with healthcare worker and activist Anna Lovotti. Anna is a physical therapist who recently moved to California to put her newest niche as a Neurology Certified Specialist to good use. She like many, was jolted into action regarding anti-racist education as a white ally following the death of George Floyd. Today we talk about what the process has been like, the bumps along the way and what is left to be learned. Antiracism is not a checklist or a class where you complete a few assignments. I also want to note that we talked about 1 instance in which I experienced racism at my alma mater. The individual who committed this act is no longer with the institution, and I do want to say that sitting down with her to talk about about it and naming the wrongs did provide for some therapeutic healing

Topics of discussion
- The Journey to becoming anti-racist
- What we have learned about ourselves and the system
- Having tough conversation as a clinician

Evolution of self is continuous.

Not only is my friend Courtney Greth an entrepreneur, LMT, Reiki Practitioner, Certified Yomassage Therapist, she is lightning in a bottle. Her energy and enthusiasm for personal development is hard to contain and I didn’t want to! She was very candid throughout this conversation about anxiety, boundaries and the journey towards practicing self-care. There truly is no better way to promote your business than practicing what you preach so I want you to pay attention to how the energy shifted after we took a deep breath. It really is nature’s reset button.

The Pastor! The Minister! The Legend! Paullllllllllll Calcote

I LOVED this conversation with Pastor Calcote. We as humans tend to compartmentalize certain topics, but at the end of the day there is totally a message to be taken from every indirect interaction because everything is connected. On paper we talked about completely random topics and literally hit on every scope of conversation. From prayer to memes to Michael Jordan to mental health. This episode is a prime example of why I love podcasting so much. It allows the opportunity to have conversations with individuals you never would have otherwise get to.

If you love tattoos and the environment, you’ll appreciate this episode. My friend Drew is a Rope Access Technician, Art & Tattoo Enthusiast, Environmental Advocate, but most importantly he is wise beyond his years and this conversation supports that statement.

I am so proud of everything he has accomplished already and I know that it is just the tip of the iceberg of the impact he will have on the world. He dropped some dope book and documentary recommendations for anyone looking to start or continue their journey in environmental health. He outlined: The meaning behind his tattoos and how the artwork is a form of self expression, what sparked his interest in the environment AND combining his work with the outdoors with a career in mental health and psychology.

All super cool stuff. Check out the Show Notes for his recommendations, rate this episode, share it with someone who might like this and hit subscribe so you never. miss. another. Episode.
