Are you believing this lie?

Do you believe the lie from capitalism, white supremacy culture, and patriarchy that you can’t impact your community until you’ve “healed” from your family shit, feel “less anxious,” and have your life “together”?

My friend, it doesn’t work that way.

The few people currently in power benefit when you believe that you have to choose:

Care for yourself and the people who depend on you, or give a shit about your community and our planet.

But the truth is that participating in community solutions to community problems is a powerful antidote to despair and fear.

We actually grow our individual capacity to heal when we take action with a like-hearted community.

With committed inner work, strong relational tools, and community support, you can make an impact on your community and take care of loved ones and keep healing yourself.

I created my TAKE UP SPACE course + community because I want you to have the same tools that that I’ve learned for trusting yourself and being the change agent you’re here to be — whether that looks like starting a business, running for office, spearheading a community project, or something else.

P.S. If you missed last week’s $10 workshop on self-trust and resilience (even when the world’s on fire), you can still get the recording and workbook! Head here to get instant access.
