What if the barriers to liberation aren’t the systems we live within, but the ways in which those systems live within us?
In this podcast, Lena Papadopoulos—anthropologist, leadership coach, shadow work expert, and award-winning intercultural educator—unpacks the relationship between self-suppression and systems of oppression.
She guides listeners on a courageous quest to unearth the root cause of the divisions within us and between us, building our capacity to lead true change in our lives and in our world.
Because until we’re really willing to face our pain, we’ll create more of the same.
In this episode, I share the five prayers, hopes, desires, wishes I’m holding for the people who find their way to my work and into my world. This is what I want you to feel, experience, and become when you step into my field and frequency.
May this be an invitation for you to reflect on what you desire for your people, too.
If you resonate with my work and my vibe, and you’re ready to really move the needle in your life and leadership in ways that are both intimate and in-depth, join us inside RootWork for Liberation (https://www.lenapapadopoulos.com/rootwork).
I’m hosting an Open House (https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/762510/172453796557882720/share) this Friday, April 3 at 12pm Eastern. Together, we’ll root into what it means to lead a world-changing legacy for liberation, I’ll tell you about the program curriculum, and you’ll hear from previous participants about their experience with this work.
Program enrollment ends April 8th. We begin April 14.

Using Your Voice to Share Your Message
What’s the message you most want to share with the world, and what’s holding you back?
In this episode, we explore what it means to use our voices for change, and why that can feel so hard. For so many of us, speaking our truth isn’t just uncomfortable, it feels dangerous.
We’re afraid of being burned at the stake for our convictions—rejected, misunderstood, exiled.
But your unique self-expression is a core part of your collective contribution, and you deserve to be heard.
If you want to build your capacity to use your voice and share your message with courage and conviction, join us in RootWork for Liberation (https://www.lenapapadopoulos.com/rootwork). Early bird enrollment ends today, March 25.
