Episode notes

In this chapter, they discuss the role of ancestors in the process of personal growth and becoming the person we are meant to be. They emphasize the importance of freeing ourselves from the traumas and experiences of our ancestors, which can often be more challenging than releasing childhood traumas. They connect this concept to the British rule of India, highlighting how the British viewed Indians as fundamentally different, leading to exploitation and a sense of division among the people.

In this thought-provoking episode, our host Srini converses with the insightful Jerry Colonna, renowned coach and author, about the profound impact of systemic othering and the journey towards personal and societal healing. Jerry shares his wisdom on the importance of empathy and moral courage, especially for those in positions of power. He discusses the themes from his books, "Reboot" and "Reunion," and reflects on the pervasive feeling of 'not being enough' that plagues our achievement culture. Jerry's personal anecdotes and the discussion on the role of ancestors in shaping our identity provide a deep dive into understanding the roots of systemic issues and the path to becoming the ancestors our descendants deserve. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to foster a more compassionate and equitable world.
