Being the Role Models We Wish We Had with Jessica Sojorne Libere

Becoming/Unstuck

This week's episode is a little different from the ones preceding it, in that it's a little shorter, and it's just my voice. In part, I needed a break from editing, in part, my guest for the next week was too ill to record (so I had an empty slot to fill), and in part, I have been wanting to figure out how to intersperse guests with teachings, or social commentary. All of these things came together this week to allow me some space to play!

As I was walking in the woods thinking about how to craft an episode about "Being the Role Models We Wish We Had", I started to get this little feeling in my lower abdomen (sacral chakra for folks who use that language) and what began to creep up into my heart was the knowledge that this episode would make a lot of sense as an intro to sharing my own, unique, voice. The only way I would do an episode on role models without intertwining it with my own story would be if I blocked how much sense it would make, out of fear. If there's something that gets my attention, it's a chance to dance with my fears. I have always been fascinated by exploration, which is a dance with the unknown, which is a dance with fear. Through this lifelong fascination, I have come to understand that when we turn towards fear, we turn fear to love. Et voila, here we are with an episode that has been a loving gesture for me to record, and which I hope is a loving gesture for people to receive.
