Host Timothy Regan explores and practices the principles of healing trauma on the collective, community level with special guest Kosha Joubert, the CEO of the Pocket Project, a global team of people dedicated to creating a culture of trauma informed care.

There are pockets of trauma within us and our world – “hot” trauma where harm is actively happening, and embodied personal/ancestral trauma, which profoundly interferes with the fulfillment of our lives and relationships and societies.  And where there are pockets of trauma, the Pocket Project helps to create pockets of trauma healing.  These are coherent and safe spaces where people bear witness and mourn and integrate trauma so that we are made more whole and our capacities return for relationship, creativity, enjoyment, and so much more.

Kosha guides us through the felt experience of healing through her stories and images, and offers essential reminders of how to approach and engage in collective healing.

Fresh “Lev” White hosts Friends Dr. Samantha Coleman and Sandria Washington both discovered as adults they were adopted. Each quickly learned that Black Adoption is common, but taboo to speak about in private or publicly. The voices of Black adoptees – especially those adopted by Black families – are rarely heard.  In 2019, Dr. Sam and Sandria partnered to create Black to the Beginning to disrupt the legacy of secrecy, stigma, shame and silence about Black Adoption. In 2020, they launched the critically-acclaimed The Black Adoption Podcast.  Their work as culture-shifting podcasters makes them sought after speakers, consultants, and most recently contributors to a new anthology, A Year of Black Joy: 52 Black Voices Share Their Life Passions.
