Why did you incarnate on this planet at this exact moment in time? Your life purpose is profound AND it's a lot simpler than you think. Today, I'm interviewing Jessica Zweig about her new book, The Light Work, and the important message she has to share with you. Jessica is a #1 best-selling author, serial entrepreneur, award-winning podcaster, and business and branding coach. She has been described as "a voice of our time" by Marianne Williamson and named top branding expert by Forbes. We discuss topics such as being a star seed, the matrix, and the importance of living in alignment with your true purpose. Jessica shares her personal experiences, including a transformative trip to Egypt where she received a divine message. And you're about to hear it! The conversation highlights the need for us all to awaken to our true potential and break free from societal conditioning. In this conversation, Jessica Zweig and I discuss the power of living in alignment with your purpose and how to embrace your divine feminine energy. We explore the concept of light work and how it can transform your life and the world. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the upcoming Lionsgate event and the significance of the date 8-8-8!

Takeaways The Light Work is a book that expands upon Jessica Zweig's previous work and reveals her unapologetic spiritual perspective. Jessica's trip to Egypt was a turning point in her life and inspired her to share her message of joy, self-sovereignty, and the return of the feminine frequency. Star seeds are souls that incarnate on Earth from other parts of the universe to help shift the planet to a higher frequency. The matrix refers to the construct of reality in the 3D plane that is based on fear and control. It is important for individuals to unhook from the matrix and reclaim their self-sovereignty. Living in alignment with one's true purpose and embracing one's unique gifts is essential for personal and collective transformation. Living in alignment with your purpose and embracing your divine feminine energy can lead to a more fulfilling and gratifying life. Finding a community of like-minded individuals who are on a similar mission can provide support and inspiration. The date 8-8-8, also known as Lionsgate, is a powerful portal for manifestation and transformation. Practical exercises, such as the creation, calling, and cause triangle, can help clarify your mission and purpose in life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hey Heal Squad, are you ruled by fear? Are you afraid to be vulnerable and/or show your true self? Welcome to the club and welcome to this special Heal Squad All Stars edition, where we meet this head-on. In this episode, Mark Nepo's wisdom encourages us to embrace vulnerability, grow through pain, and discover self-awareness by "being broken open" while using creative expression for healing; Monica Berg underscores the constant nature of change, the transformative power of shifting perspectives on fear, and the potential unlocked through positive dialogue and anti-fear mantras; Koya Webb guides us to liberate ourselves from societal pressures by embracing authenticity, truth, and self-expression, and to embark on a healing journey of empowerment through alignment with love, spirituality, and continual growth. Mark Nepo: Embrace Vulnerability: to connect deeply with others, share authentic experiences, and foster genuine connections. Growth through Discomfort: growth arises from pain, guiding us towards inner strength and transformation. "Being Broken Open": challenges and struggles lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves and promote spiritual awakening. Monica Berg: Embrace Change: change is constant. Invest time in discovering who you want to become. Transform Fear: from a hindrance to opportunity, and challenge negative thoughts with positive dialogue. Three Types of Fear: recognizing healthy, real, and illogical fear allows you to navigate and overcome. Koya Webb: Authentic Expression: break from societal expectations and perfectionism by embracing authenticity and unapologetically expressing yourself. Speak Your Truth: defy societal norms to foster genuine connections, transcending limitations imposed on women's voices. Align with Love: embrace love, spirituality, and higher frequencies to heal and empower self, recognizing that healing is an ongoing process.

Impostor syndrome can affect anyone, but it doesn't have to define you. By acknowledging its existence and addressing its root causes, you take away much of its power. In this episode of the Get Loved Up podcast, Koya Webb talks to Dr. Lisa Orbe-Austin, one of the foremost experts on Imposter Syndrome, to help us detect its early signs, what causes it, and how we can avoid being stifled by it. GUEST BIODr. Lisa Orbe-Austin is a licensed psychologist and executive coach, with a focus on career advancement, leadership development and job transitions. She is a co-founder and partner of Dynamic Transitions Psychological Consulting, a career and executive coaching consultancy, where she works mostly with high potential managers and executives.Connect with Dr. Lisa and follow her work through the links below: Website: https://linktr.ee/drorbeaustinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisaorbeaustin/Book: https://www.amazon.com/Own-Your-Greatness-Overcome-Self-Doubt/dp/164604024HIGHLIGHTS02:00 Why Dr. Lisa focuses on Imposter Syndrome specifically06:59 Signs you may be suffering from Imposter Syndrome10:27 Why you need a community around you13:13 You are not your thoughts 17:27 Stand in your power while sharing your vulnerability27:18 Always consciously take care of yourself33:48 Keep trying to find the therapy that fits youQUOTES05:25 Dr. Lisa: "When families focus on achievement as the only method of validation, you have to do something, achieve something, be something that's impressive in order to be recognized, and when you fail at that, the love is pulled away as like a punishment, you're not necessarily valuable unless you keep achieving. Those kinds of dynamics really do exacerbate the achievement component of Imposter Syndrome where we constantly feel we're in this rat race of achievement 'cause we're trying to prove we're worthy."07:01 Dr. Lisa: "Imposter Syndrome is the experience when you're skilled, credentialed, competent, have experience, yet you haven't internalized that. As a result of not internalizing that, you then feel like you might be exposed as a fraud if you make a mistake or stumble in any way." 15:14 Dr. Lisa: "Perfectionism is death. Perfectionism is the death of opportunity of progress, of risk taking. It's a death of a lot of different things and if you're aiming toward perfection, you are losing so much in the process."34:10 Dr. Lisa: "As a therapist I want to be present for you in whatever form, and some therapists are not like that. Some therapists are what we call tabula rasa, which is a blank late and you can't see what they feel like." Please leave a five-star review for the Get Loved Up Podcast.

Many of us are disconnected from our own emotions." 15:16 Dr. Thema: "People assume that if you love each other that's gonna be enough. I love you and you love me, that's love conquers all. But when we talk about the day-to-day, along with that love, you're dealing with a personality."35:55 Dr. Thema: "It's a marathon, not a sprint. We have to pace ourselves for the change we want to see in the world or in your personal life. For it to be sustainable, I cannot empty myself out. I cannot operate on fumes." 40:22 Dr. Thema: "Therapy is not for us to tell people what to do. Therapy is for you to come home to yourself so that you can then operate in clarity." 49:55 Koya: "The best sex happens when both people are like yes absolutely let's go. Everything else is a gray area and can be very harmful eventually to both people."Please leave a five-star review for the Get Loved Up Podcast.

You can't keep doing this. And so it manifested in a whole host of other physical conditions. There was depression for a period of time, there was chronic insomnia for about two years, there was an eating disorder for a period of time."14:20 Manoj: "Surrendering to just what is in front of us sometimes can feel like resistance. But it's actually the easiest thing to do to cultivate flow and alignment." 18:52 Manoj: "I generally meditate everyday. I have done so for the majority of the last 15 years. But I remember there was a period in 2022, there was so much going on and I was glued to the news. And all of this where I just couldn't sit."38:45 Manoj: " I felt like if I tell someone no, they're not gonna love me. I'm gonna lose their friendship. That's something I had to heal from and realize that no is sacred. Actually you should be able to tell everyone in your life no at some point and not feel like you're gonna lose their love."

In this episode of the Get Loved Up podcast, Koya talks to celebrated environmentalist Leah Thomas. Leah talks about Intersectional Environmentalism and how we can't separate social justice from true environmentalism. While a little goes a long way when it comes to protecting the planet, Leah also recognizes that unsustainable practices also stem from social realities that need to be changed. Our planet's struggles are also our own and to solve environmental issues would also require solving the problems that hound human species alone. GUEST BIOLeah Thomas is a celebrated environmentalist based in Santa Barbara, CA. Coining the term ‘eco-communicator' to describe her style of environmental activism, Leah uses her passion for writing and creativity to explore and advocate for the critical yet often overlooked relationship between social justice and environmentalism. With this intersection in mind, Leah founded and launched Intersectional Environmentalist in 2020, a resource hub and platform that aims to advocate for environmental justice, provide educational resources surrounding intersectional environmentalism, and promote inclusivity and accessibility within environmental education and movements.Leah, who is also the founder of eco-lifestyle blog @greengirlleah, uses her multiple years of eco-focused educational and work experience to inform her ever-expanding list of projects, as well as her audience of more than 350k followers. A graduate of Chapman University with a B.S. in Environmental Science & Policy and a cluster in Comparative World Religions, Leah has interned twice with the National Park Service and has worked at leading green companies, including eco-friendly soap company Ecos and most recently, Patagonia. A fundamental optimist and opportunity-maker, Leah used her time after being furloughed during the pandemic to create Intersectional Environmentalist. Leah's writing has appeared in a variety of publications, including Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire and Highsnobiety, and she has been featured in Harper's Bazaar, W Magazine, Domino, GOOP, and numerous podcasts.Connect with Leah and follow her work through the links below: Website: https://www.greengirlleah.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greengirlleah/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leahpthomas/HIGHLIGHTS04:34 Leah's political awakening 07:42 What 'intersectional' means 23:27 Top 5 questions to dive into to become a better person26:08 Support conscious capitalism as much as you can 30:30 Living the nomad life in LA40:22 How to get started in becoming an environmentalistQUOTES05:35 Leah: "Really early on, I started seeing in my studies that environmental legislation is not enforced equally for all people, especially along racial and economic lines. That's something that always stuck with me for a really long time, just not understanding why there wasn't more representation of all the incredible black folks and our contributions to sustainability. " 06:22 Leah: "We can't separate the liberation of people from environmentalism. And if we do, I don't really want to take part in that type of environmentalism." 22:04 Leah: "I think about my time spent writing the book and it's all kind of a haze. I was just so into it, I was writing it during the pandemic. And I'm the type of person where if I have something to say, I'll say it. And when I don't, I'll be quiet. I'll be quiet for years. But I had something to say, I had it in my heart, and there's something just so freeing about that and then also I know that I can back it up." 26:10 Leah: "If you can, I mean, supporting conscious capitalism, shopping local, trying to reduce harm by getting things that are fair-trade, locally sourced, ethically made. I know sometimes there's a really hefty price tag on that." 41:03 Leah: "Do a little audit. Reward yourself with the things that you are doing. Compassionately guide yourself to do better in the areas that you're not." Please leave a five-star review for the Get Loved Up Podcast.

I didn't want to dress like a woman, I was dressing like a tomboy. I couldn't walk down the street. I couldn't look at a phone. I was just completely triggered by everything that connected me to a stranger or my sense of self as a woman." 24:49 Gabriella: "Never alone is a love story. And it's a love story because my sister died by suicide and it's an, it's an homage to who she is. But also to all of the others who have experienced the depth of the dark night of the soul and how that dark night of the soul didn't see the light. And unfortunately they lost their lives to suicide."35:38 Gabriella: "In a world that I would like to live in. I would like there to be no frontiers. I would like people to exchange each other's culture freely. I would love the free exchange of how human beings just migrate from one place to another."

On this episode of the Get Loved Up podcast, Koya talks to bestselling author, podcast host, and motivational speaker Gabby Bernstein. Gabby talks about her own childhood trauma, her journey to healing, and some tips for people going through the same journey. With refreshing honesty and awareness of her own vulnerability, Gabby admits that she herself is a work in progress, and the only way forward is to continue working on yourself everyday. GUEST BIOFor over sixteen years, Gabby Bernstein has been transforming lives—including her own. The #1 New York Times best-selling author has penned nine books, including The Universe Has Your Back, Super Attractor, and her latest, Happy Days. In her weekly podcast, Dear Gabby, she offers up real-time coaching, straight talk, and conversations about personal growth and spirituality with unique and inspiring guests. What started as hosting intimate conversations with twenty people in her New York City apartment, Gabby has grown into speaking to tens of thousands in sold-out venues throughout the world. Gabby was featured on Oprah's SuperSoul Sunday as a “next-generation thought leader.” The Oprah Winfrey Network chose Gabby to be part of the “SuperSoul 100,” a dynamic group of trailblazers whose vision and life's work are bringing a higher level of consciousness to the world. The New York Times identified Gabby as “a new role model.” She co-hosted the Guinness World Records' largest guided meditation with Deepak Chopra, and appears regularly as an expert on TODAY and Good Morning America, among other publications.

I got sober at 25, but by the time I was 11 years sober, that was when I realized why I was using in the first place. And that was when I remembered childhood trauma. 07:29 Gabby: "We all dissociate in different ways. When we've had extreme trauma, we can go as far as dissociating in such an extreme way where we literally tuck away the memory and it's a brain function that is developed to protect us. And it protects us temporarily but we still can live with the feelings that are so impermissible."09:11 Gabby: "In the beginning of the book I talk about how my publisher said, 'we're nervous for you, Gabby. You're sharing one negative story after the next. You're being too vulnerable and you're not showing your true strength. And my response was, 'my ability to be this vulnerable is my true strength.'"12:17 Gaby: “It's very dangerous to shame psychopharmacological medication when it's necessary. When someone's having a biochemical condition, you can't meditate your way out of it. There's also the other side of that which is that medication can be overly prescribed and people can have a lot of trouble with side effects."

On this episode of the Get Loved Up podcast, Koya talks to life coach, mental health advocate, and affirmation musician, Toni Jones. Toni talks about being present in the moment, healing, spirituality and takes us with her to the journey that led her to discovering and inventing Affirmation Music. As a proponent of self healing, Toni hopes to touch more lives and help more people be attuned to themselves and their wellbeing, all in hopes of building a better world for everyone.GUEST BIOToni Jones served for six years as a Life coach and Mental Health advocate for women and youth. Now as an Affirmation Musician, she found creative ways to promote the message of conscious well being through her music. Toni started making music as a tool for her life coaching clients to practice healing on the go. After great response from her first album she decided to make music full time.She has since released five projects so far: Affirmation for the Grown Ass Woman, Affirmations and Chill, I See Me Mantras, and Get Cha Mind Right (the mental health mixtape). Toni's music is healing music, she coined it as Affirmation music. Affirmations set to modern music, which is different from the traditional way of saying Affirmations and mantras that are usually set to relaxing new age music. By creating affirmations to modern music this allows the listeners to ride, be on the go and vibe, just dance to the music while still reciting healing words.Connect with Toni and follow her work through the links below: Website: https://www.iamtonijones.com/Be a member: https://www.wifeyourlife-vip.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/tonijonesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamtonijones/Twitter: https://twitter.com/IamToniJonesIamFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/IAMtonijonesIAMMerch: https://tonijonesmerch.com/HIGHLIGHTS03:11 To be tender is to treat yourself like a newborn06:23 What is self-parenting for adults?11:00 Early childhood and growing up in church13:24 Going back to school and independence 14:48 The birth of Affirmation Music19:39 How to feel what you want to feel21:34 Toni's self-care rituals 26:34 It takes a village to complete your hero's journey31:51 Avoid dwelling in scarcity and tap into abundance 33:25 Toni's thought process for writing affirmation music 44:11 Healing is a journey QUOTES11:21 Toni: "I just remember watching everybody praise God. I just remember this appetite within me. Like what is, what is making people do this? And I always had a curiosity, an insatiable curiosity for the unknown, the unspoken, but, you know, and so as I grew up in church as a teenager, I just remember asking provocative questions because I'm like we are learning about you. We learn about these miracles and things, but it was like, it didn't make me want to be a better Christian." 19:03 Toni: "I asked myself these three questions, how do I feel? And I give myself the space in time. This is how I feel right now. I'm going to be honest.And then I go into the next question of how do I want to feel? And I go into what is the ideal emotional goal that I would love to embody today. And I jot that down or I spend time in my mind about what's true for me, how I want to feel."28:24 Toni: "Knowing when to say, I need help, I need support is monumental. It's monumental, even in business. Oh I need a team, I need PR, I need a manager. I need this. Let me bring this to the altar, to manifest those alignments and those relationships to make my business, to make my success, to make my finances that much more sustainable and healthy."31:51 Toni: "You know, you can think on what's not here and go right into the emotional reality of scarcity. But then you can look at what you're saying at the present moment. Focus on what's here, what you can be grateful for and tap into that emotional reality of abundance, you know? And so gratitude is such an important practice because it helps you to get present in the moment in a way that is supportive for your future."38:42 Toni: "I'm going to love you forever. No matter what changes I'm going to treat you just like how oxygen treats you. Oxygen doesn't judge you. It supports you no matter what your habits, no matter what your practice is, no matter what race, no matter how much money, we're gonna treat you like the level of oxygen treats you."Please leave a five-star review for the Get Loved Up Podcast.

On this episode of the Get Loved Up podcast, Koya talks to entrepreneur, author and podcast host Lisa Bilyeu. Lisa takes us through her journey from devoted housewife and mother to a leader of women. Overcoming the limits of the belief system imposed upon her, Lisa has developed what she calls the radical confidence to ask questions and give herself the grace to learn new things. Instead of being held back by our fear of failure, we need to embrace it. And when we do fail, as Lisa demonstrates through her life story, we need to look for opportunities to learn. Radical confidence is not to go blindly into the storm, but to willingly face crippling doubt with a concrete plan for success. GUEST BIOLisa Bilyeu co founded Quest Nutrition, which grew 57,000 percent in its first three years. She is also the cofounder and president of Impact Theory Studios, a revolutionary digital-first studio that produces wildly entertaining original content focusing on themes of empowerment. Over the course of her career, Lisa has created a slate of content that has been viewed more than half a billion times, and she and her husband have built Impact Theory's global audience to more than 7.5 million. As host of the digital series Women of Impact, Lisa conducts real, uncensored conversations with the most inspiring women. Her book, Radical Confidence, will hit shelves May 10th, 2022. Lisa lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Tom, and their two furbabies. She frikin' loves her life.Connect with Lisa and follow her work through the links below: Get her book Radical Confidence now: https://radicalconfidence.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/lisabilyeuInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/HIGHLIGHTS02:37 Lacking confidence?

And as women, we all know that we think about all of these things. We want to be people pleasers. We want people to like us, we don't want to ruffle the feathers. And so a lot of the time we end up stuck in a life that maybe we didn't want, but we don't feel like we have the right to ask for more." 13:23 Lisa: "You convince yourself, well, I'm not in a frickin war zone. Well, I have a roof over my head and we convince ourselves that it's not that bad. So I ended up living eight years of a life that wasn't the dream. It was what I call purgatory, the mundane, where I lost everything. I lost my dreams. I lost my hopes. I lost who I was."28:26 Lisa: "The biggest lesson that I've learned. I repeat to myself every single time that every time I fail, what's the opportunity. Every time I literally fall on my face, I used to be like, I can't believe it. I'm so bad. See, I knew that I shouldn't have started this. I told you that you were no good Lisa, right, the voice in my head. Even now, it doesn't matter how many successes because the failures and the mess-ups still sting. And I can't get rid of the sting. So now I recognize that even if it's a private failure, I must address it." 36:49 Lisa: "Like why do we set the bar low? Set the bar high and bust your ass to exceed it. And if you don't, be proud that you freaking went for gold." Please leave a five-star review for the Get Loved Up Podcast.

On this episode of the Get Loved Podcast, Koya talks to Jovanka Ciares about the importance of reconnecting with your ancestors and their ancient wellness practices to reclaim your own wellness. As a trained herbalist and nutrition educator, Jovanka talks about unearthing and using the massive amount of wisdom and traditional wellness techniques that ancient civilizations have passed down to generations, some of which have been forgotten in the present day. There's so much to learn about our own bodies and wellness that is not covered by western medicine, and Jovanka's expertise on the topic will surely help you unlock your hidden potential. GUEST BIOJovanka Ciares is the author of Reclaiming Wellness and several other titles. A certified wellness expert, integrative herbalist, nutrition educator, and coach, she offers lectures and workshops in Spanish and English. Ciares studied nutrition with bestselling author T.

Once you learn to love it, it's easier to implement. So I decided to write this book as an homage to my own ancestry, but also to remind people that in your ancestry lineage, chances are you're going to have some of these practices and it's important that we reclaim them in order to reclaim our natural and our rightful state of wellness."15:32 Jovanka: "With the development of social media and the way that we can communicate now and spread the word far and wide, it became very obvious especially at the beginning of the pandemic that I was also not reaching the people that I believed need this information the most. So I created the Reclaiming Wellness initiative, it's an educational initiative that essentially teaches people how to use some of these practices so I do cooking classes, how to use herbal medicine, how to prepare your own medicine at home." 21:41 Jovanka: "Spirituality and religion don't have to be at odds with each other. We could have a religious practice that has its dogmas and follows a particular set of tenets and we can be very spiritual and also take from other religions or other spiritual practices to make our lives better." 29:56 Jovanka: "Every time I get off a phone call with a client and they have clarity about what they're supposed to do, they have hope about the fact that they can heal, it just reminds me that I'm in the right place."

I mean our culture is obsessed with efficiency. We're like how can we do things faster, better, how can we do more. And in that, our ability to conversate, specifically to when we think about these last few years, I mean a lot of people have literally been in survival mode. We can barely carry our own answers to the questions, let alone shoulder the potential burden of someone else's answers." 10:04 Jenna: "I learned so much about grief. A lot of times we try to overcome grief, and what we forget is sometimes we just have to pick up the grief and start moving with it and building those muscles. You don't leave grief behind." 16:06 Jenna: "One of my greatest frustrations in being an online personality or having a brand online is a lot of times, people watch what you're doing online and they assume that's it. But people like you and I, we share like 2% of our lives online and we live 98% of our lives offline. And I want my life offline to be far richer and more beautiful than the life I'm presenting online." 23:08 Jenna: "Don't assume that someone cannot hold or understand something. But think about how you can communicate in a way that invites them to have empathy, to understand at a deeper level." 41:42 Jenna: "Without sadness, we don't know what joy feels like. Without fear we don't know what safety feels like. If we want these full lives, we have to experience full feelings. And a lot of us are just uncomfortable to just sit in them."

We do have those pockets of time that could be dedicated to ourselves. I think it's important to ask ourselves what we do in those moments."12:15 Yasmine: "It can get really hard when you are literally holding everyone else and feel like no one's holding you. The invitation is to ask yourself what it would feel like to allow people to figure out how to deal with their own issues, to maybe not have access to calling you after a certain time, to give yourself the attention and energy that you're pouring into everyone else."23:02 Yasmine: "Whatever it is that you identify as, it's so important to question it because sometimes we're limiting ourselves by these ideas of what we think we have to be. And it may not actually be fulfilling what we want to be in alignment with."33:27 Yasmine: "The reason that we want to have space for the people, places, and things that we love is so that when we connect to people, we experience the joy of vulnerability. We experience the joy of connection. We experience the joy of being in a relationship with people." 33:42 Yasmine: "If I struggle with my worthiness, then I'm also going to struggle with believing that the people I'm in a relationship, truly want to be here."Please leave a five-star review for the Get Loved Up Podcast.

Or maybe I am a bad person. Maybe there's something off about me."35:16 Devi: "You're not making or setting a boundary for every individual person that you're bumping up against. You decide what is the boundary for my life, based on who I am, and anytime anyone walks up to the counter and asks for something or does something, I experience it based on the boundary I've set for myself. So then it feels even less personal as we're getting into with other people. Because we're saying it's not about you, this isn't personal. This is my boundary, for me."51:56 Devi: "Any relationships that may have had some challenge around those boundaries were just ones that needed to lightly slough off anyway. It wasn't necessary to maintain the relationship because I will not maintain anything that requires me to be minimized."Please leave a five-star review for the Get Loved Up Podcast.

Anna Malaika Tubbs is a New York Times Bestselling author, advocate, and educator who is inspired to bring people together through the celebration of difference. Motivated by her mother's work advocating for women's and children's rights around the world, Anna uses an intersectional lens to advocate for women of color and educate others. Her focus is on addressing gender and race issues in the US, especially the pervasive erasure of Black women which she explored in her recent release The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation. Connect with Anna and her work in the links below: Book: https://amzn.to/3wam81hHIGHLIGHTS02:23 The secret power of power naps 05:12 The story behind the book 10:24 Rewriting the stories of the black mothers 15:22 The role of white supremacy in the erasure of black mothers' stories19:50 Black people do not need to educate everyone of their pain22:35 We don't need to carry the burden alone23:40 Anna's self-care habits and ways to prioritize family32:35 Ways that society can improve their treatment of black mothers 38:32 Raising a black family in this political climate 50:19 Change is always possible in the worldQUOTES08:31 Anna: "It happens all the time, that black women's stories are erased, that black mother's contributions are taken for granted. But I narrowed it down to the civil rights movement because we come back to it all the time in our policy discussions."10:30 Anna: "It's very clear there's an intentional erasure of women's stories, and very specifically black women's stories. Because it doesn't fit this kind of hegemonic notion of this white male who is the leader, this white cisgender male as the hero of every story. It doesn't fit that, we're just gonna say it never happened or it didn't exist."34:59 Anna: "These biases in our healthcare systems that tell back women, you're imagining this, this is just something you're feeling, happen over and over and over again. The black maternal health crisis, so much of it is a result of bias against black women that doesn't hear us, when I say this is happening to me." 36:48 Anna: "We as a nation have seen over and over again that policing should not be responsible for social work. There should be more funding put towards social workers and de-escalation and thinking about other resources that people could call, especially victims of domestic violence."41:16 Anna: "I needed to keep a hold on my joy and my love, and not allow fear to be the only thing that I was feeling. To use that fear as a driving force, to face it, not to hide it. Say don't be afraid, but say yes, this world can be very scary but my joy and my agency is something I need to hold on to because that's how I continue to fight against these forces."Please leave a five-star review for the Get Loved Up Podcast.
