White girls talk about White Privilege with Moriah Helms


Listen Later

Today I've invited my good friend Moriah Helms to join us on the show to talk about some topics that I feel are part of the journey, wherever you are in it. 

"The cult of individualism has led some of us to believe that we can be well by simply eating the right foods and doing certain (often appropriated) spiritual practices. But in reality, this way of being leaves a deeper spiritual toxin firmly rooted in our beings. Without confronting white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, colonialism, and how they all interconnect and influence us, we can never be truly well. I believe that excavating these toxins (a lifelong process) allows us to plant the seeds of belonging and creative potential in our lives." - Moriah Helms

Moriah lives in midcoast Maine, Wabanaki territory, where she practices lymphatic bodywork and energetic healing, stewards a large garden, engages in transformative justice and mediation within my community, reconnects with her ancestors, and runs around in the woods with my dogs.

Here's a little taste of what we talked about:

  • What is the cult of individualism?
  • White privilege, from a white woman’s point of view
  • What is the SYSTEM of white supremacy, white privilege, colonialism, etc.
  • How can we support healing for all of us?
  • Why it’s important to just listen.
  • What is white supremacy and does it effect you?
  • Cultural appropriation within the health and wellness industry
  • What is Spiritual Bankruptcy?
  • You can’t have cultural exchange if you have nothing to offer.
  • How to honor indigenous people and not just steal traditions
  • How can re-distribute money or wealth and support people of color
  • What does it mean to be anti-capitalist?
  • Thanksgiving and it’s true meaning
