What does it mean to live with softness and to have access to all of your emotions? How do we lead with that gift and impart it to others? Corey Evan Leak is a prime example; as a podcaster, writer, and anti-racism educator, he is using his platforms to help others find peace and belonging. Corey and I sit down today and talk about his article Angry Black Man and where that term comes from, about the work needed to access all of our emotions, and learning new ways to show up.
We’re exploring:
- The only default emotion society has allowed to men - how anger becomes a security blanket
- Letting go of our lizard brain and thinking about our reactions
- Releasing who society says you need to be
- Shedding the stigma of therapy and breaking cycles of generational trauma
- Wearing masks and code-switching as mechanisms of self-preservation
- Addressing the privilege of therapy and how we can access help when we are ready
