In this episode, we discuss the many ways the system is rigged against us and how it makes breaking the status quo more difficult. The chapter is challenging but inspiring. It is great reminder that we have the power to create change but the work comes in adapting a pre-existing mindset. Bottomline? Marginalized & oppressed populations are ready to draw our line in the sand and say that enough is enough. Social justice as a part of self-care sounds exactly right to us.
