<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To wrap up season 2 of the Own It All podcast, I’m sharing my conversation with the incredibly gifted, socially-conscious, driven, wise, and widely published Charlene Carruthers. She’s a Black queer feminist community organizer and writer with 15+ years of experience in racial justice, feminist and youth leadership development movement work. She’s also the author of the bestselling book</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Unapologetic: A Black, Queer and Feminist Mandate for Radical Movements,</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and when we spoke, she had just begun serving as a board member for the Women’s March.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In discussing what it means to own your power in</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">all</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">aspects of your life, our conversation was both wide and deep. We covered everything from intersectional activism, to staying in integrity while maintaining your boundaries, to reframing the way we look at collective work for liberation.</span></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We shouldn’t see every single thing at every moment as</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">the</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">most urgent thing. Moving only in a spirit of urgency will lead us to only focus on one thing and picking away at ‘the wall’ in one area. But if we say, ‘Over my lifespan, there are so many different contributions that I can make,’ I believe that’s a much more fruitful pathway in doing this work. … There are so many different ways to contribute. It isn’t just about where you can physically put your body. What kind of a community you’re a part of, what are you reading, what are you teaching other people? All of those things go into transforming the world that we live in.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Charlene also shared powerful insights into the importance of authentic relationships with people who are different from you, and how that ties into some of the work that white women need to do. For that, and for everything else she shared, I am so grateful to Charlene taking the time to come onto the show. We only just scratched the surface, so if you’d like to learn more about Charlene’s work and philosophies,</span> <a href= "https://www.charlenecarruthers.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">check out her website</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">to get started.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thanks for tuning in for season 2 of Own It All! I’m so pleased that I could share these conversations with you over the past two months, and I’m so grateful to my guests, and all of you joined us.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Welcome back to the Own It All podcast! I’m thrilled this week to share my conversation with host of the top-rated and much-downloaded self help podcast</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Unf*ck Your Brain,</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Kara Loewentheil. Kara is a Master Certified Coach with a B.A. from Yale and J.D. from Harvard Law, and she has been featured in outlets like</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">Marie Claire</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">,</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">Mind Body Green</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, MSN.com, and</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Huffington Post</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kara and I talked a lot about perfectionism, thought work, and liberation from the inside out. If your brain could use a little bit of “unf*cking” right now, well, this is definitely the episode for you. Kara even shared a brief step-by-step process you can use right now if you’re trying to neutralize your thoughts.</span></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Write down the thoughts — no editing or analyzing!</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pick 1 thought and come up with a neutral version of it.</span> <strong>Example:</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">transform the thought “My stomach is gross” to the neutral thought “A lot of people have a stomach like mine.”</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Practice this thought! Repeat it, either aloud or in your head.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make it a habit by using a reminder app, making it a password, or even putting post-it notes around your house.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pay attention to how it feels different in your body over time.</span></li> </ol> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">“Women being able to think and feel how they want is what’s going to create everything else we want on the outside. It’s going to create women negotiating for better pay and family friendly leave, and loving their bodies, and enjoying fitness because it feels good. Whatever it is that we want on the outside, we have to do the inside work first. For me, this work is about freeing women to own their lives, but it has to start in our minds.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kara, thank you so much for coming onto the show and sharing your insights on thought work with all of us. And thank you to all of you out there listening and sharing the show!

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, it’s safe to say we’re living through a time of massive upheaval and dealing with all of the emotional turmoil that comes along with it. Days feel like weeks and it’s easy to get overwhelmed by fear, grief, and uncertainty in the face of this new normal.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With all that in mind, this felt like the right time to share my conversation with Ty Alexander. Ty is a best selling author, speaker, podcaster, and wellness blogger who blends radically honest stories with actionable a-ha lessons. We talked about the new entrepreneurial journey and her work with</span> <a href= "https://lovetyalexander.com/destination-heal-podcast/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Destination Heal</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, as well as what it means to choose gratitude over grief and how to set boundaries around the way we communicate our feelings to others.</span></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">While [our feelings] should have a place in our lives, it doesn’t need to be a place every day, all day. A lot of times what happens in trauma is, we allow those feelings to take over our lives all day. Feeling doesn’t make any changes. Acknowledge your feelings, write them down, journal. But then what’s the steps to get</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">out</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">of that feeling? It’s about doing those actionable steps to move yourself out and past that moment.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ty, thank you so much for coming onto the show! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed connecting with you. For those of you out there who want to learn more about Ty, head on over to Instagram and check out @tyalexander and @selfcareirl. Thanks so much for listening and for sharing the show with your friends. See you next week!</span></p>
