664: How to Play the Long Game in Your Advocacy and Activism
Let your rage be your fuel.\xa0\xa0\n\nThe rage I have carried over the last 6+ or so years has fueled so much of my work.\xa0But rage is not a long-term plan.\xa0\xa0\n\nIf you want to show up in advocacy, allyship, and activism you need more than rage.\xa0Rage will only take you so far.\xa0I want your rage to fuel you - it can be the gas that allows you to keep your foot on the pedal.\xa0But, I also want you to be able to sustain the long-term fight that is often required to make change.\xa0And that will require more than rage.\xa0\xa0\n\nIn this episode, I walk you through how to let your rage be your fuel while also not letting you get overly caught up in any one moment.\xa0The power of pacing yourself in your advocacy, allyship, and activism is what will allow you to stay in the work over the course of the next few decades - and that is what we need from you.\xa0\n\nFrom the moment Roe vs Wade was decided in 1973, people (white men of privilege, to be exact) have been working to overturn it.\xa0They have worked on this diligently for 50 years. 50 years!\xa0While I don\u2019t think it will take 50 years to codify abortion rights, I do believe we have a long haul in front of us.\xa0This goes for this fight and so many others.\xa0\xa0\n\nAdvocacy is an ongoing, long-term commitment.\xa0In this episode, I talk you through how to stay in this commitment over the long haul as well as how you can take action today.\xa0\n\nWe can use our rage for good.\xa0We can keep showing up, no matter how long it takes.\xa0We can get loud.\xa0We can get creative and innovative and scrappy AF.\xa0We can and will stay in this as long as is required.\xa0\xa0\n\nLink mentioned:\nTake my Shameless Summer Survey and win $100 gift card: shamelessmom.com/survey\n\n\nSponsor info and promo codes:\n\nPlease find our sponsor information here: shamelessmom.com/sponsor/\n\n\nInterested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?
