ACCESS ANDREA’S FREE GIFT: love, manifesting
Highlights:
“It’s the responsibility of the coach or healer to have, at the very least, an awareness of what’s affecting the people that you’re serving and how you might be supporting or perpetuating power dynamics and various forms of oppression.”
“One person can’t eliminate oppression or the affects that oppression might have on them, but they can be resilient around it - and I think a lot of coaching out in the world right now completely misses that opportunity to help people not only go after what they want, but how are they going to respond to the things that suck, especially if you have multiple marginalized identities.”
“I do think that there are times when anger can toxify, but i don’t think anger itself is a problem. We have certain ways of expressing anger, and i think a lot of us don’t have access to that anger because we learn to cope with it by either being apathetic towards it, shedding a tear, or just moving on because that’s what oppression does, especially when white supremacy in the United States has been going on for so long.”
