We are a society of brilliant people who’ve traded in what we know, deep in the core of us, for what looks right rather than what is right.
We keep ourselves externally focused, numbed and busy, worrying about what we say, how we look, what people think of us and how much we accomplish.
Reconnecting with ourselves is possible and it's controversial.
It asks that we break the patriarchal, racist, capitalist motto that we’re only as a good as how we look, what we produce and what we consume.
It means redefining leadership to include our mental, emotional, spiritual, physical and communal health.
It asks that we slow, that we stop wasting time on things we can't control and people we can't please and instead name our needs, own our joy, and lead with wisdom.
It means putting an end to believing no matter what we accomplish, it’s never enough. It means choosing compassion over comparison, self trust over self doubt, resilience over getting it right.
It asks us to face our fears and go against old stories and personal prejudices. It requires faith in ourselves, our intuition and our creativity.
And most importantly, it means finding our truth and speaking it.
So how do we do that?
Give me a mic and I'll lay it down for you.
