Bridging Personal & Systemic Transformation

This week's episode

• Honoring heartbreak
• Examining hope
• Clips from Joanna Macy
• Behind-the-scenes of Jess Serrante's podcast

"Uncertainty inherently means that possibility exists. Possibility for all sorts of things. For the darkest fantasies and fears that I have and for the most beautiful. And that my life is a vote in the direction of a possibility, and I'm going to give myself to the one I want.”

Jess Serrante

Climate Coach & Host of We Are The Great Turning (podcast)

Questions we explore in this episode:

  • What's the role of heartbreak and honoring our pain for the world in showing up fully and bringing our full selves to the world?
  • What would it be like if more coaching models and healing modalities and spiritual paths helped us get in touch with our heartbreak for the world as part of discovering what we are individually most called to contribute to the world?
  • What are the things (besides "hope") we can use to motivate ourselves when things get scary, or we start to feel despair?
  • How can honoring our heartbreak for the world help break through the myth of individualism that is a blind spot in many Western coaching models and reconnect us to acting in solidarity and service?
