Your anger is sacred ❤️‍🔥

This is an emotion we’re taught to fear & feel shame around.

But it’s a powerful one.
Especially when processed and channeled intentionally.

What do I mean by this?
Anger can take two forms: to destroy or to transform. 🦋

My good friend, Alice Leibowitz, has created a model around processing anger & deep grief through her work as an activist.

This model enables her clients to:
→ Process and get past deep, difficult feelings
→ Distinguish things they can control vs. things they cannot
→ Discover the deeper purpose they’re here to serve
→ Clarify their unique path forward to impact the world for good

💌 We’re going to be talking more about these topics at The Impactful You Show alongside a panel of experts in activism, leadership, yoga, spirituality, somatic healing and more!

I know I’m not the only one hurting and grieving this morning. America traded her democracy for lies and chose fear of others over love. The road ahead will be difficult for those of us who love freedom and freedom of speech. We may need to be wise and strategic about our activism but we must remain steadfast in our pursuit of rights for ALL of us. Women’s rights and LGBTQ+ rights and BiPOC rights and s*x worker rights and Indigenous rights and reproductive rights and the rights of survivors and the right to be free of religious tyranny and the right to vote. Now is when we need to love one another more than ever. In the end Love will prevail over darkness but only if we keep that love burning bright in our hearts. Denial is the brain’s attempt to cope with the shock of overwhelming harm but don’t let that defense mechanism deny your ability to see truth. The suffering of others is our suffering too. Even if you aren’t an activist, consider reaching out to someone you know who may be harmed by this devastating shift in their reality. Do you know someone who is gay or trans? Do you have a friend who could be harmed because of the color of their skin or their immigration status? Are the women in your life worried about their bodily autonomy? Maybe ask how you can support them going forward. And above all don’t minimize their fear and suffering. Being witnessed and deeply heard is crucial for anyone who is struggling against oppression. For my part I will never stop working for positive change. I know I’m not alone. And it would do my heart good to hear from you here if you feel like sharing.

Colleague might be a bridge too far, even if we collaborated on a book. But certainly Dr. Z, as he was affectionately known, was a much loved friend to me for a couple of decades. He mentored me in many ways that he may not have been fully aware of, but then service to others was his path in life. I miss him and am deeply grateful for all the ways he made my life better.

These two women tell such powerful stories of and and . One mother had to abort a dying twin to save the other twin and her own life. These are the sorts of medical emergencies that politicians and religious leaders (mostly male) never think of when they attempt to control the private decisions health decisions of women.

I LOVE IFS (Internal Family Systems). It's made a huge difference in my life and the lives of my loved ones. And it's an invaluable help to my clients. The goal of IFS is to bring compassion and curiosity to our protector parts and exiles so that we can be more "Self-Led." Self is something we all have and I like to envision it as the part of us that is ancient, timeless and very wise.

The Qualities of Self in IFS

According to IFS, the Self is the natural leader within each of us. When we are connected to our Self, we embody qualities that foster inner harmony and understanding. These qualities are often referred to as the “8 Cs of Self,” and they are:

Calm: A deep sense of peace and relaxation, even when facing challenges.

Clarity: The ability to see situations and emotions clearly, without distortion or confusion.

Compassion: A sense of warmth and care towards yourself and others, especially when confronting difficult emotions or experiences.

Curiosity: A genuine interest in exploring your thoughts and feelings without judgment, always seeking to understand rather than criticize.

Confidence: Trust in your ability to handle whatever comes your way, grounded in inner strength and wisdom.

Courage: The ability to face difficult parts of yourself or painful situations without avoidance, moving forward with integrity.

Creativity: An openness to new solutions, perspectives, and ideas that foster healing and growth.

Connectedness: Feeling integrated and connected, not only with yourself but also with others, experiencing a sense of unity and belonging.

These qualities are not traits that need to be developed—they are already within you. Happy to answer any questions you might have. Just pop a comment into this post!

As Trump concocts lies designed to win votes and avoid prison, it's important to remember what he said mere weeks ago as well as his treacherous actions.

There is no time for living room activism. Every day must be spent asking ourselves if we’re doing our part, if we’re doing enough to ensure that the grand idea called America continues.
