018 | White Privilege and Responsibility
Explicit content warning
06/06/20 • 49 min
We are in the midst of a civil rights movement that is spanning the globe sparked by the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and the long list of people of color who have been murdered and lynched for too many years to count.
It is imperative that we be in conversation and lean into any of the discomforts being felt. It is essential that we learn how to own our white privilege and use our voices to create a country where once and for all, every human is equal under the law. Leah and Jenn have a deep and heartfelt conversation about ending white silence, owning white privilege, and standing for black lives matter.

017 | Paris, Part Time with Lisa Baker Morgan
In 2008, Lisa Baker Morgan, a thirty-eight-year-old, newly divorced mother, unexpectedly found herself staring down death in a Monaco hospital, nine time zones away from her two young daughters in Los Angeles. After facing mortality and surviving, her life took on a sense of urgency to experience and accomplish all of the things she had ever wanted for herself and her daughters. Top of her list: a life-long desire to live in Paris. The seemingly indulgent and even "crazy" aspiration was part of a journey that set her on the path of recovery of health and of spirit.
In this Deep Chats episode, we get to hear about Lisa’s incredible journey and how it has shaped her life as a result. Beyond inspiring, and yet incredibly humble, this is a conversation that we know will touch you all.
In this episode we discussed:
- How to BE the future that you want.
- Letting go of what you think is supposed to happen.
- Life defies categorization.
- Impermanence and the lessons it teaches us.
- Choosing to dwell on negative versus finding the opportunity.
- Seeing the world through gratitude and presence.
