In today's episode, I get vulnerable and share stories about that icky feeling of embarrassment, specifically related to whiteness and the process of dismantling white supremacy in our bodies. In order to dismantle this system from the inside out, we need to be able to be present and tend with these icky feelings that often come from grappling with ancestor and current trauma and learn how to direct the energy into aligned right actions. 

\n

Aligned right actions can be anything from journaling about it to setting up a monthly donation to BIPOC people and organizations that inspire you.  It is the ability for white people to work through icky human feelings of embarrassment, shame, guilt, regret, fear, etc. that can help us address this monster of white supremacy within us. As we can see on the national stage, it is also these same emotions when left untended that can perpetuate misalignment and the outdated legacy of harm for all.  It is time for us to look within.  Now that it is out in the open for all to see, it is time to work through these emotions in our own bodies as we are clearly all connected, educate ourselves about the deeper histories, and increase our ability to sit with and feel it.
