Pathak, a former therapist turned spiritual healer, mentor, and coach, this show helps you dismantle the systems of oppression you've absorbed within yourself.

-
Finding your authentic voice and power

10.0 Safety is in Our Liberation with Guest Robyn Mourning
Thursday Aug 13, 2020
Thursday Aug 13, 2020
Liberation is a trendy word right now, but the movement towards liberation has been ongoing for centuries. In this week's episode, special guest Robyn Mourning and I have a conversation about her personal emancipation, liberation and what it really means, and how the idea that liberation will leave us as outsiders, is actually a myth.
Here are some highlights from our conversation:
-Robyn shares about her personal emancipation (6:07)
-Healership and Liberation work (12:54)
-Healing, Liberation, and Emancipation if for life (14:17)
-What is personal emancipation? (14:56)
-What's the point of the white supremacy? (18:13)
-Liberation happens in community (22:25)
-Dehumanization in social justice work (24:58)
-Turning away from the oppressor and looking at yourself (34:33)
-Robyn liberates parts of her Black self from the dungeon she had put them in (38:59)
-Part of reclamation is taking ownership for where you have been wrong (43:37)
-Robyn shares her experience supporting the liberation of trans lives and how she thought she would lose safety, love and belonging, but she found them instead (45:55)
-There is no sense of belonging in oppression (48:41)
-You can't force others into anti-oppression work, that's oppressive (49:46)
-People fear they will lose joy and protection with liberation, but instead, liberation fortifies our protection, and liberatory relationships (50:15)
-Liberating our children (52:08)
-Robyn's suggestions for liberation work for change makers, way showers, revolutionaries, and disruptors of the status quo (57:54)
-Shirani drops a teaser about a community experience happening in Sept 2020 (01:01:48)
You can find Robyn hanging out on Instagram over @soulsmart_strategy or @joyandjusticecollab (or @wellsoulwellness, but Robyn shared that might be changing after the time of this recording)

7.0 Forging Deep Connections
Thursday Jul 16, 2020
Thursday Jul 16, 2020
Ever get frustrated when you're trying to have a conversation with someone and it feels like they aren't hearing what you're actually saying? Or maybe you've been guilty of that yourself? Then assumptions get made, feelings get hurt, and you end up feeling sad or angry, disconnected and alone.
In today's episode you'll hear about how to show up for someone, to listen to their story, to deeply hear them, so that you can build deep connections with them. So that you can actually connect as opposed to disconnect.
Why does this matter?
Because so much of what we see in our world today is due to the lack of deep understanding of one another and communication with each other.
I'd love to hear from you! Hop on over to Instagram, follow me, and send me a DM letting me know who you are and how you're liking the show. https://www.instagram.com/shiranimpathak @shiranimpathak
