Ep 419: You Are Not Your Parts

Grief and sadness are important emotions to be honest about, pay attention to, and process as they come up. Today I’m sharing some things that make me sad and that I tend to be grieving on a pretty regular basis. As a person who embodies a lot of joy, passion, fire, and humor, I don't know if people realize that I grieve all the time. And I bet some of you can relate to this ー much of what makes me sad or has me grieve comes from systemic oppression and the myriad of delusions humans live under that cause us to do harm to ourselves and each other.  In this episode, I share two recent experiences that reminded me of how these systems can show up in our daily lives, sometimes in really sneaky ways that are hard to detect. When we start to peel back all the layers that we've acquired since coming into these bodies, we can remember that we are so much more than our parts.     In episode 419 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (1:21) Grieving over the systemic oppression that causes us to do harm to ourselves and each other (2:46) How I reframe emotions like sadness, grief, and anger (4:48) Recognizing why so many of us struggle with self-love and self-respect  (9:30) My eye-opening experience at a breast reduction consultation  (13:55) Honoring the unlearning, unpacking, and deconstructing of liberation work  (15:30) The truth about everyone’s purpose  (18:11) Why you can’t rush the healing timeline    Resources mentioned in the episode: Episode 389.
