Ep 164 - How spirituality supports activism

“I’m in it. I’m in the Academy, and so this opportunity to go on strike and demand what’s right, this is a huge coalition” - Leslieann Hobayan

With the Rutgers strike last week, I was able to experience first hand how my spiritual practices, along with the progress I've made on my healing journey, have helped me show up as an even stronger activist than ever before. So many of us activists know how draining it can be to proactively fight for social justice. We know how our nervous systems can get fried and how are energies can be depleted. Are there ways for us to be activists without sacrificing our well-being? The answer is YES!! And it starts with self-awareness, building self-trust, and strengthening nervous system resilience.

Listen in to see how it all plays out in my most recent activist activities, including talking to the press(!) (Say what??). And then reach out to me if you're interested in learning how to create this way of being for yourself!
