“Yes, the systems are crumbling, but you don’t have to.” - Dr. Jpop

The headlines are overwhelming, institutions are failing, and it feels harder than ever to know what’s real let alone what to do.

September 17, 2024 • 19 mins
“Transcending the noise that distorts our true perceptions and intentions is a deeply personal pursuit, but it has social, economic, ethical, and political implications, too.”- Max Picard We are constantly bombarded by noise in many forms. So much so, we choose it without considering what we are letting in and why. If we took the time to build a relationship with silence, would it impact the noise we let in and the noise we make? ...

January 9, 2024 • 25 mins

018 Pause: Allyship Is Not...

November 14, 2023 • 16 mins
We are raised in a society with its own set of values, and those values permeated every aspect of our culture. So naturally we're socialized to those same values unless we had experiences or humans in our life that showed us differently. When you decide to walk in allyship, there is an understanding that what you valued before may no longer align with your new journey. Because of this, it is important to be aware of how you’re ...

017 Pause: Collective Trauma and Fight or Flight Advocacy with Dr. Jpop and Dr. Lisseth London

October 25, 2023 • 29 mins
“Allyship is a way of life. It's a practice of assessing my beliefs, my values, the way that I function, and how that has been influenced by supremacy culture. Taking that data and deciding, ‘what do I need to unlearn that does not align with my desire to walk in allyship?’”-Dr. Jpop I decided to re-release an epsiode from this summer in light of the recent global attention to the conflict between Palestine and Israel that has ...

016 Diversify Your Life with Katrina Liew Pilkington, M.S.

October 10, 2023 • 26 mins
“I've always opened myself up to everybody because I wanted to learn and grow and be diversified in my own right and I think that people need to do the same thing. Not because it feels good, but because many people of marginalized identities are scared of you and your nervous system's response to us existing.” - Katrina Liew Pilkington, MS The process of forming bias is natural, therefore having bias does not make you a ba...

015 Intent vs. Impact

September 26, 2023 • 9 mins
“I’m sorry if that was offensive, I didn’t mean it like that.” But it landed like that, so now what should you do? When confronted about actions or words that have hurt someone, are you more concerned with how you meant to come across, or how you were received? Of course this applies to allyship, but it’s a life lesson for all human interactions. In this episodes I am talking about the importance of being more concerned with yo...

“You can tell the tree by the fruit it bears. You see it through what the organization is delivering as far as a concrete program. If the tree’s fruit sours or grows brackish, then the time has come to chop it down—bury it and walk over it and plant new seeds.” —Huey P.

010 Collective Trauma and Fight-or-Flight Advocacy with Dr. Lisseth London

May 30, 2023 • 23 mins
“How do you know the difference between regulated activation and fight or flight activation,” was a question asked in one of our Building Allyship focus groups. The tragedies and events of the last few years have provoked many to question how they show up in the world, for themselves and for others. This has led to people speaking up to power more and taking steps to dismantle a culture that does not serve us. But continuously show...

009 The Role of Psychological Safety in Allyship with Dr. Thurman Webb

May 16, 2023 • 43 mins
“The purpose of communication is not influence, the purpose of communication is clarity.” - Dr. Thurman Webb One purpose of our nervous systems is to keep us safe. If we do not feel safe, our sympathetic nervous system jumps in to sort out what response we should yield to get to safety or at least the feeling of safety. So in the practice of allyship, which requires yielding our ego and leaning into vulnerability, what role does sa...

“Good people aren’t perfect people” - George Seay, LMFT One of the most common fears I’ve heard surrounding allyship is the fear of making a mistake, saying or doing the wrong thing.
