4.1 | How to Lead When Your Ancestral Trauma is Activated with Daniela Miranda
It's season 4 of the podcast!
I wanted to kick off this season with a conversation I had with Daniela Miranda, ceremonial leader of Mapuche ancestry and unbranding photographer, about what leadership looks like in the face of genocide.
This conversation sprung from a post I made online in December about celebrating Hanukkah and simultaneously calling for a ceasefire. It was not a thoughtful post and came from a place of pain and powerlessness.
There was a war of words that broke out in the comment section of that post, which was also incredibly painful and led me to ask myself how I wanted to lead around this topic so loaded with ancestral trauma (mine and everyone else's).
Dani and I both share a strong spiritual connection to our ancestors and have a lot to say about colonial trauma activation and embodied thought leadership from a Latine perspective.
In this conversation we address some of the ways you can take care of yourself emotionally and spiritually so that you can
a) actively metabolize/heal your ancestral trauma/collective pain; and
b) support challenging conversations in ways that can honor multiple perspectives AND standing for humxn rights.
