Privilege is something we all benefit from in some form or another.  While it is irrefutable, as soon as we try to cast a light on aspects of our privilege (eg. White privilege, able-bodied, heterosexual, etc.), people rail, scream and gaslight. Perhaps it is in our wiring to look at things as a zero-sum game, however, progress as a society is dependent on us recognizing that rising tides truly do raise all ships. Resources: Harvard Bias Test https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.htmlUnpacking the Invisible Knapsack https://psychology.umbc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/57/2016/10/White-Privilege_McIntosh-1989.pdfSupport the showDon't forget to rate and leave a review!

Critical conversations require more than just an astute command of language and exceptional listening skills, they also require three things that can inspire alignment and change: 1.Architect your unlearning by disrupting your narrative. 2.Look beyond personal responsibility and challenge systems of oppression. 3.Prioritize curiosity and interrogation over sensationalism and rhetoric. Support the showDon't forget to rate and leave a review!

The voices in your head are loud and often the expressions and stories of scarcity, fear, doubt and bias that were formed by your environment, your family, your experiences and society.  Though not always purely negative, these stories do inform our beliefs (sometimes self- limiting) which ultimately guides behavior and action; in essence keeping us stuck.  In this episode, Ashley and Mark discuss. - Breaking through narratives that do not fit with your why or your ideal view for life- Challenging the “No Excuses” rhetoric- Being unapologetically intentional about your prioritiesSupport the showDon't forget to rate and leave a review!

We're not wasting any time with this one. It's a little heavy, but definitely worth the listen. Progress cannot come without discomfort. So, ignoring ideas, policies and actions that create discomfort  just allows more of the same to flourish.  In this episode, we talk about everything from Black History Month to book bans to the murder of Tyre Nichols; cap-stoning a theme that discriminatory systems are alive and well … and that is what makes them so insidious.Support the showDon't forget to rate and leave a review!

Here's a non-exhaustive list of really annoying things that are exclusionary, mean, shame-inducing, or just plain stupid: equinox not letting new members join in January the way people talk about food the way people talk about bodies all or nothing mentality the idea of excuses vs reasons the focus is all about smaller, tighter, fitter racism, white supremacy, and exclusion mean and toxic studio culturepeople not eating carbs fitness instructors, trainers, and health coaching trying to diagnose, treat and cure LITERALLY EVERYTHINGchildren & adolescents with body image issues people thinking they need workouts over therapy lack of representation This week's topics isn't pulled from one particular previous episode, but many that we've talked about through all seasons. You can't talk about fitness without talking about wellness, boundaries, fear and courage, privilege, cultural appropriation, yoga, kids in schools and the failure of PE class, body image, gender and sexuality, community…all of it. We have a feeling this one may need a part two in the future...Support the showDon't forget to rate and leave a review!

Is 'canceling' a thing we still do? What about calling out? Or calling in? Are we shaming and bullying or demanding accountability? As promised, we're diving into some of our early episodes to explore how our opinions have changed. 2020 was an incredibly charged year for many reasons, and while we aren't carrying any regrets, we acknowledge that in some cases, there's way more nuance than we previously thought. We're not letting anyone off the hook here, rather we're exploring the kinds of skills needed to create actual and lasting change. Support the showDon't forget to rate and leave a review! Questions?

This week, we highlight one of WIS's ongoing advocacy initiatives: the Courage Campaign. On our website, we feature anonymous accounts from courageous women within the local STEM community. This campaign is a safe space, free of judgment, where women can share their story, speak their truth, and process their personal trauma. It's a place where we can process collective trauma and begin to heal. Astrid Kurniawan joins us on the podcast to discuss her story.

This week I have the honor of chatting with Ashley Mitchell (The Courage Campaign & The Conversations in Courage Podcast) all about her journey into becoming a fitness professional, how Boston's (and beyond) fitness space is white centered & how we can change that, allyship, trusting your gut & listening to the whispers, mindfulness, slowing down, pregnancy, advocating for yourself when it comes to healthcare, and SO much more.

This episode is important to us not just because its guest is a dear friend of ours but also because the school she represents is directly connected to the work of The Courage Campaign.  Within, we talk about one of the fundamental components of allyship: weighing Intention vs Impact.  What we say may not always be received as intended and that gap can leave individuals (especially students) feeling unseen, unheard and unrepresented.  It is important that we not only act with empathy but that we are also prepared to be corrected (despite having the best outcomes in our hearts) and admit when we are wrong.  This discussion is a call-to-action for the army of well-intentioned people who are looking for ways to crystalize and deepen what allyship actually entails.Erinn Buxton is the Climate and Restorative Practices Coordinator at the Joseph Lee K-8 School, in Boston Public Schools. Erinn previously worked in community mental health and in partnership with the Joseph Lee School as a school based clinician. Erinn's experience in counseling with students and families highlighted the impact of oppressive systems on mental health. Erinn's desire to challenge these systems, amplify voices that had been silenced and work to bridge opportunity gaps only grew, and led to her passion working to support and advocate in all areas of social justice.  Erinn focuses on supporting the community across grade levels and working to repair harm among community members when conflict arises. Erinn works closely with partners (hello Courage Campaign) to identify how we can bridge opportunity gaps through resources and increased access.  Erinn believes deeply in increasing student and family voice and working to deconstruct the oppressive systems that negatively impact students and families.Support the show (https://donorbox.org/the-courage-campaign-1)

From the bright lights of the theater to shining a light on human rights issues.  Today a thought provoking conversation around race, social biases and ally-ship with the founder and creator of The Courage Campaign, Ashley Mitchell. Listen in as she shares how she is using her platform to rally for diversity and inclusivity in the fitness industry and beyond.

In this episode, Ashely Mitchell, Boston-based fitness instructor and co-founder of The Courage Campaign, a nonprofit that provides public schools and communities with physical fitness combined with personal development, joins The Okay Days to talk about courage. Through her work, she aims to share what she has learned from navigating failure, fear, discrimination and use of adversity to redefine success. We talk about the connection of movement, intention and personal empowerment, what it means to be courageous and how we can continue to make both physical and mental health resources more inclusive. Follow along @blackgirlmagicmama.

  TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER As the daughter of a professional boxer, a competitive athlete, theatre major, and fitness professional, Ashley has uniquely experienced a myriad of physical and mental training philosophies, and has seen what works and what doesn't from various points of view. Her background and upbringing have taught her to successfully navigate failure, fear, and discrimination, and use adversity to redefine her own success. Through the work of her non-profit, The Courage Campaign, Ashley now aims to share what she's learned and help others to unlock passion, invoke courage, and reinvent achievement..  HER BACKGROUND Ashley talks about growing up with a father who was a professional boxer and speaks to learning about the dedication, respect, teamwork, and training that went into her father's work. She also talks about her father's full-time job as a mail carrier and the hours that he put into his job during the day followed by training and boxing in the evening. She also speaks about her mother who went on to get two masters degrees. Ashley was extremely driven and motivated by her parents. Ashley speaks about her move to Boston and the resiliency that her parents instilled in her and how that helped shape her journey. HER WHY Ashely talks about her why which she explains comes from so many different places but ultimately she never wants anyone who looks like her to be made to feel the way that she has been made to feel at various points in her life - from feeling small to self hatred to lack of confidence. In launching The Courage Campaign in the beginning she didn't aim for it to cater to kids but in her fitness work she realized that being in Boston, her clients were mainly white women and her work didn't feel connected to her why. She had to take a step back to realize that she wanted to focus her work on a population of people that were super vulnerable and she decided that she wanted to focus her work in schools.  ON HER STARTUP JOURNEY Ashley speaks to her journey as very much falling into place. She speaks to knowing exactly what her why was and being unapologetic about who she is which created a lot of connections for her in terms of people reaching out and knowing exactly what they were going to get. She says that authenticity was the key for her. She also talks about fitness as such a great opportunity to be meeting others from all walks of life. We discuss the idea of simply getting started and putting one foot in front of the other and not necessarily having all of the answers.   ON STARTING A NON-PROFIT Ashley discusses that hurdles are relative and that starting a non-profit, while taking a lot of bandwidth, is not necessarily hard. She discusses simply taking it step by step in determining what needs to be done and having the patience to wait for the approvals and paperwork during the process.  ABOUT THE COURAGE CAMPAIGN Ashley speaks about The Courage Campaign and some of the impact that she gets to create. She speaks to being able to go into a room with kids and see them shine because they leave behind the normal classroom baggage. She talks about things that surprise and delight her in the process such as seeing a kid's physical fitness gains transforming over time. Watching kids do their pushups and burpees and listening to the logic behind why they want to be what they want to be. She talks about how school can beat kids down naturally but that she works to encourage kids to always find their magic and continue on despite this. We discuss the joy and excitement that comes with working with kids in that manner. DIVERSITY IN WELLNESS Ashley and I discuss a goal that she is setting out to achieve as a Lululemon Ambassador which is diversity in wellness specifically in the Boston fitness scene. We discuss the lack of inclusivity and diversity that naturally exists in the Boston fitness scene and how homogenous it can be in terms of instructors, clientele, clothing sizes and even the employees who are working at various studios. Ashley began to wonder how she was the anomaly. She asked where the instructors and young professionals  were who looked like her because she knew it certainly wasn't for lack of talent. She realized that those people are there but they don't want to be in these white spaces because they weren't comfortable. So she asked how to begin to solve this and realizes that part of the reason it is so hard to solve is because there are so many layers that run so deep that it feels as if you can't get started. She stresses that when it comes to fitness or wellness no person should ever be excluded and believes that we can still create opportunity for everyone by starting through conversation and diversity in training and is excited for some things that will be coming down the pipeline with Lululemon in that regard.  FINDING SUPPORT IN BUSINESS & WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN Ashley speaks to seeing that for every person that has made her feel that she didn't belong there are five people that have disputed that very fact. She talks about being able to build her community and embrace every person that has been a part of it. We discuss Ashley's hope for women to find more respect for the way other people do things and supporting the differences between women and not having to connect because we're the same. She also speaks to respecting boundaries, wanting to see more women walking the walk and to be able to see more BIPOC women being a part of that conversation. We also speak to simply being on a human level and making mistakes and having humility and being able to apologize and own it.  NEWS AND UPDATES Ashley speaks about her podcast, The Courage Campaign and some of the upcoming work she has coming down the pipeline and to be sure to follow along to stay updated! links + resources WHERE TO FIND ASHLEY website on instagram on instagram PODCASt: conversations in courage GET INSPIRED THE CC SPOTIFY PLAYLIST BOOK CLUB reco Elaine Welteroth, More Than Enough THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS FLODESK: GET 50% OFF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION BY CLICKING HERE

Since the onset of the COVID-19, WISH Drop-In Centre Society has rapidly expanded its efforts to support street-based sex workers. Am Johal is joined by executive director, Mebrat Beyene, to discuss how WISH and other Downtown Eastside service providers are collectively responding to the pandemic, which has restricted services and exacerbated many pre-existing crises facing the community. Mebrat speaks to new WISH initiatives, such as opening a new 24/7 shelter for sex workers, increasing access to bathrooms and showers, and finding new ways to accept donations of essential items. She also calls on policymakers at all levels to swiftly address access to emergency income relief for sex workers, to provide a safe supply of drugs, and to house people as quickly as possible.
