Stepping Into Truth: Conversations on Race, Gender, and Social Justice
Talking the ups and downs of social justice work, the trap of expectations and much more with Makenna Held
Episode 19
Makenna Held
In this episode Makenna and I discuss how we can, with the best of intentions, do harm when we intend to do good in the realm of social justice. How expectations are joy killers and so much more.
Start with a vintage, enameled cast iron Dutch Oven (teal is her favorite).
Then sauté a mirepoix of business acumen, marketing, and strategy; pour in a good bottle of Integral Coaching methodology; add a cup of movement and spirituality; and a hearty handful of feminist theory. Whisk gently. Follow with a sprinkle each of intuition, wry comedy, and truth talking; and finally a dash of Tibetan theories of Emptiness. Place in the shade for two hours on a bright sunshine-y day and VOILA! You’d have Makenna Held.
