Today Patty is talking about how to receive Black History. A disclaimer: Patty is sharing this from her perspective, a white woman, sharing from her experience. Patty considers herself an ally, and someone who is imperfectly moving forward the best way she can.  

How do we have these difficult conversations?  

 If you have been part of Patty’s audience then you know she shares from the heart. Especially when it’s hard. What’s on her heart this episode; how to move out of resistance and into receiving.  

Receiving our history (speaking specifically as a US resident) feels more important than ever. How can we do this in a way that serves us all?

Resistance requires energy. The more we put towards pushing away what we don’t like, the longer it will take to receive all the blessings available to us.
