It's time to get serious and talk about the topic of white privilege. In this episode, Jill and Nick dive into the privileges they’ve had their whole lives and how this simple recognition is a powerful tool in their progress to being anti-racist. Come hang out with us!
💬 QUOTE OF THE DAY
“We all have souls and identities, but at the same time we were born with social locations and group identities that shape us and easily keep us separated from other people, especially within institutions. I find that working against racism mends the social fabric, heals the soul, and reduces fear, isolation and alienation. It makes things better for everybody.” ~ Peggy McIntosh

💬 QUOTES OF THE DAY
“Anything that feels good couldn't possibly be bad.” ~ Angelina Jolie
“A 'treat' is different from a 'reward,' which must be justified or earned. A treat is a small pleasure or indulgence that we give to ourselves just because we want it. Treats give us greater vitality, which boosts self-control, which helps us maintain our healthy habits.” ~ Gretchen Rubin
