Healing From Separation & Hate with Aaron Rose
Explicit content warning
06/13/19 • 66 min
This episode features an interview with diversity & inclusion expert Aaron Rose and gets deep into the weeds of our collective healing process around divisiveness and hate – the root of which, Aaron argues, lies in the of pain of separation and resulting fear of “otherness.”
Something of a “millennial Marianne Williamson,” Aaron’s work focusses largely on explaining how this pain / fear manifests in our reality as political scaremongering, media stereotyping, institutionalized racism, and exploitative capitalism - and that, in seeking to address any of the above, we must first look at how these systems have taken hold and become embedded within ourselves.
In this episode, Aaron and Ruby also discuss (among other extremely important topics!):
-Aaron’s own journey as a queer person healing from the conditioning of the Catholic Church
-Identity and embodiment through the lens of quantum physics
-Why amends-making is an essential part of our collective healing, and how to do it
-Why we are the “generational clean-up crew” tasked with undoing the wrongs of our ancestors
-Why in the Now Age it is vital that we bring our spirituality to our politics
-How to use your voice for the highest good of all

Burnout, Mental Health, and Social Change with Samantha Moyo
In May 2019 (perfectly timed for Gemini season!) "burnout" was officially recognized as a syndrome by the World Health Organization—and in this episode Ruby talks to entrepreneur and activist Samantha Moyo about the high risk of burnout among social entrepreneurs.
When a passion project comes with an added layer of social responsibility, taking any time out can feel like it's not an option. As well as the "buck-stops-with-me" mentality and personal attachment that comes with running your own business, time off can lead to feelings of guilt and a sense of "letting others down"—leading to burnout, or even breakdown.
In this VERY IMPORTANT EPISODE, Ruby and Samantha also discuss:
-Samantha's own breakdown after exiting her last company—and how she recovered
-The inner and outer instability that comes with "being the change"
-Why slowing down and doing less is modeling a necessary societal shift
-Samatha's work with leading climate change initiative, Extinction Rebellion
-Self-care tips for social entrepreneurs and activists
