Listen Later

Join us in an honest conversation with Stephanie Ghoston Paul (she/her) exploring what it means to be a living ancestor.

Stephanie Ghoston Paul (she/her) helps movement-makers bring to reality a radically transformed world through wholehearted coaching and consulting. 

With individuals that looks like self-care and boundaries work to help leaders balance their lives by coming back home to themselves. 

Within community, Stephanie holds space for collective healing through truth-telling, and explores what it means to be a living ancestor. 

In organizations, she co-designs pathways to name harm, imagine liberatory ways of being, and engage in the messy culture and people work needed for that transformation. Stephanie believes that when people, communities and ecosystems fully align and embody their purpose, we move toward a future where all human beings are free, whole, and enough. 

She’s been described as a purpose-whisperer, an ecosystem connector, and a culture alchemist. Stephanie is also a best-selling author, podcast host, documentarian and recent TEDx speaker. She centers ease and care in her life and her work, making sure to practice what she preaches. When she's not "working" Stephanie enjoys cooking spicy dishes with her partner, finding new flavors of delicious tea, and witnessing her toddler discover the world.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • How we can make change “irresistible”
  • The role of questions to “re-member” and “dream ourselves into the future”
  • How we can intentionally become a living ancestor
  • The two sacred responsibilities of being a living ancestry
  • What it means to be in the practice of holding tensions
