Episode 9: WE'RE BACK, JACK

05/25/20 • 57 min

We took a little coronavirus break but we are BACK BAYBEEEE!!

We're so excited to be back for episode 9 that we threw out our normal structure (again, lol) and just had a raw and honest conversation about what we've been up to for the last couple of months, and how we've been handling everything that's been going on in our world.

Our community was hit extra hard by the pandemic and things haven't been easy so we wanted to dive into how each of us has responded to everything based on our enneagram types (Haley is a 7 and Rachel is a 3), what we've personally struggled with the most, as well as something positive we've gained from the experience so far.

Episode 10: Two White Women Talk About Racism

In light of the recent police killing of George Floyd, the latest in a long history of unarmed people of color being senselessly murdered in this country, we've decided to have a serious conversation about racism in America.

In our season one finale, Rachel discusses three things people who are white can be doing right now to advocate for people of color and end racism, and Haley shares her personal experience with coming to terms with her own inherent bias and thought patterns that could be harmful to people of color.

We end the episode by each sharing something specific we've done in the past that has been harmful to people of color in an effort to confront our own racist behaviors and promote growth.

This episode is meant to challenge our listeners who are white and motivate you to look within yourself to uproot your own inherent biases, while empowering you to do the hard and painful work of ripping them out.

It starts with a conversation. It starts with us.

Note: since this episode was recorded, nationwide protests and riots have significantly intensified, and at least one person of color has been killed in the process. His name was James Scurlock.
