In this episode we bring you excerpts from an online SAND Community Gathering with Gabor and Daniel Maté hosted by Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo from February 2024. Also present in this episode is Betsy Polatin offering guided meditation and grounding exercises as everyone navigates these difficult conversations. Lastly SAND presenter Deran Young ends the episode with a question on Racialized Trauma. You can watch the full video conversation here No statement, no words can speak to the immense suffering, devastation and horrendous humanitarian crisis intensifying in the Middle East. The current tragedy awakens existential fear, acute grief and deep despair. It also creates a rift among friends and families. Many are in a state of deep shock and in need of support, and the obstacles to communicating with loved ones only intensify the anguish. In this Q&A session, Dr. Gabor Maté and his son Daniel discussed ways to listen and communicate across different perspectives and narratives. Gabor Maté, M.D. is a specialist on trauma, addiction, stress and childhood development. After 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience, Dr. Maté worked for over a decade in Vancouver's Downtown East Side with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness. For his groundbreaking medical work and writing he has been awarded the Order of Canada, his country's highest civilian distinction, and the Civic Merit Award from his hometown, Vancouver. Gabor is also the creator of a psychotherapeutic approach, Compassionate Inquiry, now studied by thousands of therapists, physicians, counselors, and others in over 80 countries. Daniel Maté is a composer, lyricist, and playwright for musical theatre based in BC and New York. He has been active since 2007, when he graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts with an M.F.A. in Musical Theatre Writing. He also holds a B.A. in Psychology and Philosophy from McGill. Daniel received the prestigious Edward Kleban Prize for Most Promising Lyricist in American Musical Theatre, a Jonathan Larson Foundation Grant, and the ASCAP Foundation's Cole Porter Award for Excellence in Music and Lyrics (for his song cycle The Longing and the Short of It.) He has presented his work at the historic Kennedy Center in Washington, DC and New York's Lincoln Center, and was an invited participant in the inaugural Johnny Mercer Writers Colony. Betsy Polatin, MFA, SEP, an internationally recognized breathing/movement specialist and best- selling author, has been teaching for 45 years. Her unique and intuitive perspectives are greatly influenced by the study of movement, breath, and trauma, as well as the teachings of spiritual and meditation masters.

In this episode, we welcome Aiko Bethea, CEO & Founder of RARE Coaching & Consulting, to discuss overcoming toxic productivity.  Our BWL community attracts many high achievers. They are often the “firsts” in their families and communities…the first to graduate college, the first to be on their level of leadership, the first one that people call when they need help…and the list goes on. In the workplace, research shows that Black women are often held to higher standards, and are more likely to have their contributions overlooked. These roles and standards combined with the consistent unrealistic and violent expectations of systemic oppression, may cause us to adopt these harmful standards of achievement and perfectionism as truth. For many, this causes feelings of unworthiness as we begin to equate our identity (who we are) to our achievements (what we do), creating a  toxic cycle that  negatively impacts our self-concept and overall wellness. In Aiko's words:  "The same thing that can be killing us, which is toxic productivity and perfectionism, is also the same thing that opens doors for us. Therefore, it's so important for us to have those checkpoints of 'what am I doing and who am I doing it for?' Because the world may be completely rewarding you over and over for behavior that's actually killing you." This episode gives you a moment to reflect on your own relationship with productivity and perfectionism. Aiko breaks down the signs of toxic productivity, and provides insight on steps we can take to resist and heal from it.  Additionally, we discuss the power of centering ourselves, and share practical ways to do so in our personal and professional lives.    About Aiko The founder of RARE Coaching & Consulting, Aiko Bethea is an award-winning and highly sought after equity consultant, executive coach, and speaker.

Takeaway Tips: Language is a big part of connecting with the community. Having empathy doesn't mean you don't hold people accountable. You can hold people accountable and do it with generosity and empathy. Be curious and ask questions instead of making assumptions. It's okay not to know everything. If you have a learner mindset, you have permission to say I don't know and fail. Why We Need More Learners Instead of Knowers in the Workplace. Question what you think you know. How Social Accountability Creates Culture Change. Emotional intelligence in the workplace. Create an environment where others feel heard. Hold each other accountable with generosity and empathy. Checking your default and self-interrogate to understand why you do things and what aligns with your aspirational self. To figure out who you want to be, start with who you don't wanna be.

Rugged individualism occupies the heart of American mythology.We pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. We ignore structural inequality and rely on our “can do” attitudes. We take on the personal shame of job loss or bankruptcy or health struggles. And we unquestionably accept that to make it in America, all we need to do is work hard.Are we happier and is our society stronger for all our self-reliance? Or does individualism exacerbate the political, social, and interpersonal issues that cause us all so much pain? And in what ways do we collude with this toxic myth as we lead and support others around us? In today's leadership roundtable conversation, my guests discuss how addressing the cultural burden of individualism is a powerful place to start when looking to also address the cultural burdens of racism, sexism, and consumerism.Deran Young is a licensed therapist, CDWF, CDTL, Co-Author of the New York Times Best Seller, You Are Your Best Thing, retired military officer, and the founder of Black Therapists Rock.Black Therapists Rock is a nonprofit organization that mobilizes over 30,000 mental health professionals committed to reducing the psychological impact of systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma.

Black Joy: Stories of Resistance, Resilience, and Restoration by Tracey Michae'l Lewis-Giggetts With deeply personal and uplifting essays in the vein of Black Girls Rock, You Are Your Best Thing, and I Really Needed This Today, this is “a necessary testimony on the magic and beauty of our capacity to live and love fully and out loud” (Kerry Washington). When Tracey M. Lewis-Giggetts wrote an essay on Black joy for The Washington Post, she had no idea just how deeply it would resonate. But the outpouring of positive responses affirmed her own lived experience: that Black joy is not just a weapon of resistance, it is a tool for resilience. With this book, Tracey aims to gift her community with a collection of lyrical essays about the way joy has evolved, even in the midst of trauma, in her own life. Detailing these instances of joy in the context of Black culture allows us to recognize the power of Black joy as a resource to draw upon, and to challenge the one-note narratives of Black life as solely comprised of trauma and hardship. “Lewis-Giggetts etches a stunning personal map that follows in her ancestors' footsteps and highlights their ability to take control of situational heartbreak and tragedy and make something better out of it….A simultaneously gorgeous and heartbreaking read” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

I'm in the studio solo dolo for this episode and I'm talking about Bruno!Every family has secrets. Some of those secrets are merely private things that truly aren't anyone's business outside of the family. But there are other secrets that are truly damaging and traumatic. There are secrets that hurt, harm and kill. Watching Disney's Encanto brought home to me the impact that generational trauma has on families, particularly Black families. Many family members carry the shame of their generational trauma without zero understanding of the origin of the trauma and why they function the way they do in society.Brene Brown, TED talk famous social worker and renown shame researcher says, "I define shame as the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging—something we've experienced, done, or failed to do makes us unworthy of connection."Bruno, a character in Encanto, embodies his family's shame. The shame is directly related to their trauma. Bruno is the hidden secret. The crazy thing is millions of families across America have a Bruno! In our families Bruno can be male or female. They may be a drunk or someone with mental illness. At the end of the day, however, Bruno holds the family shame and because he holds the family shame the rest of the family can 'function' in the larger society.Whew! So that's what we diving into in Episode 10.

This week we're talking more about vulnerability, and my continued love for "You Are Your Best Thing" by Tarana Burke and Brene' Brown. But, we also dive into how it important it is to remember that you're a baddie. It's important to heal, but it's also important to remember that you're amazing. So, let's dive into how we have to pivot vulnerability into being able to talk about our accomplishments and speak life into ourselves. Let's find some joy together!!

I am so excited about this conversation with the incredible organizer, writer, and healer, Yolo Akili Robinson. We had a great talk about everything from being an uncle, the healing journey, future books, the authentic self, to the intersection of male privilege, the patriarchy, race, and queerness. I particularly enjoyed how Yolo described his own healing journey and how he created what he needed and then shared it with the world through BEAM, as well as our discussion on what being gender non-conforming means to each of us. We ended with a fruitful talk about the scarcity mentality, and Yolo sharing what he is in the middle of reading! You can also check out Yolo's first book, Dear Universe wherever books are sold and read his essay in the new anthology, You Are Your Best Thing: Vulnerability, Shame Resilience, and the Black Experience, edited by Tarana Burke and Brené Brown.
