Live A Conscious Life

Is it just me or are White people obsessed with being nice? This is something i’ve been noticing among White folks, myself included! We are so fucking obsessed with being nice and I think it's keeping us from telling the truth and our truth, and just being ourselves. In this episode, I talk about “Niceness” as a tactic that both White supremacy and patriarchy use to keep the systems of oppression going around. When we are more focused on being “nice” than being honest, we run the risk of reinforcing oppression within ourselves and in society, and we are more likely to feel suffocated than free. I argue that valuing kindness more than “niceness” will serve us better, and that kindness includes being honest with ourselves and with each other. If you’re sick of being “nice”, and value kindness and telling the truth, then this episode is for you!

There are various stories we internalize from society and create in our minds about ourselves, our bodies, our relationships, money, health, business, sex, you name it! That don’t serve us. The problem is when we continue to believe stories that don’t serve us because they prevent us from living the life we want and enjoying ourselves. But, we aren’t always conscious of the stories that we tell ourselves because our identity is wrapped up in them and we may not even realize it! If there’s a story that you’re tired of telling yourself, or if you want to become more aware of the beliefs you’re letting rule your life, then this episode is for you!

Money stress is a big one! Who doesn't stress about money sometimes ( or all the time)? Last week's episode talked about how worry doesn't serve a purpose where I mentioned worrying about money, but wanted to do an entire episode on money stress. No matter your money situation, you can feel at ease. I'm not saying it's easy, but it's an option for you if you want it. Press play to feel more at ease about money, not matter your situation.

Did you know that worry doesn't actually serve a purpose? And, that you don't have to worry? Yes, you can be worry-free. Once you understand how worry doesn't serve you, you can begin to let it go and practice ease instead.

We’ve been taught that gender is “innate”, that we’re born with gender, but we’re not born with gender, it’s assigned to us. We are socialized to be and act a certain way according to the gender that we were assigned at birth (even before birth). But, in this episode, I clarify why gender isn’t necessary at all. Gender conditioning isn’t necessary and neither is gender assignment. But, what about biological differences, you might say? Yep, I go over that too and encourage us all to ask the deeper questions and get super clear on how we define biology exactly. Plus, I give you practical actions you can take in your daily life to leave gender outside of the equation. Want to move beyond gender and deepen your perspective? Then this episode is for you!

TW: I do mention killing and sexual assault in the first part of the episode. If you can't hear that right now, go ahead and fast forward to about 11 minutes into the episode. Otherwise, please listen from the beginning as I share my theory about patriarchy and criticism in the first part, and while it's dark, it's important to recognize. In this episode, I talk about self-criticism from patriarchy as well as how patriarchy has influenced us to criticize one another. Take a listen to give you another perspective on how criticism is connected to patriarchy.
