The rise of a global pandemic naturally elevates feelings of fear and anxiety. With the spread of coronavirus rising and death tolls across the globe multiplying, it is natural to feel a sense of hopelessness and uncertainty. These are unprecedented times for us. Ironically, it is also it perfect time for healing and transformation.So, how do you approach healing and transformation in times of trauma and isolation? Nanci Luna Jiménez joins the show to offer insights on healing and self-care during these unprecedented times. She also discusses her work in the areas of racial healing, language oppression, and reclaiming your power. Nanci Luna Jiménez is regionally, nationally, and internationally recognized for her highly effective and insightful trainings, inclusive facilitation, and dynamic speaking for groups of diverse ages, industries, and cultural backgrounds.

A Conversation About Healing During Social Distancing With Nanci Luna Jiménez

Were you allowed to cry as a kid—or did someone tell you to toughen up and get over it? Nanci Luna Jiménez believes that too many of us were taught to shove our feelings down, instead of handling them in healthy ways—and that if we can’t release our feelings and process our hurt, we can’t dismantle oppression. Nanci wants to change that. She’s the founder and president of the Luna Jiménez Institute for Social Transformation, where she inspires individuals and organizations to deepen their commitment to social justice and create transformational change. And she wants us all to understand why building intimate relationships and allowing ourselves and others the space to release feelings aren’t just feel-good tactics. They’re acts of revolution.  When we get hurt and there’s oppression coming at us, the responses we’ve normalized are all responses that eventually numb and isolate us. And if they don’t numb and isolate us, then they will come out and leak out in ways that become oppressive towards other human beings. —Nanci Luna Jiménez, founder and president of the Luna Jiménez Institute for Social Transformation  We talk about:  The Luna Jiménez Institute for Social Transformation How healing from institutionalized oppressions and social justice are connected Adultism—the systematic and institutional mistreatment of young people—as the training ground for oppression What constructivist listening is and how practicing it is beneficial  Links:  Luna Jiménez Institute for Social Transformation The Transformational Communication Program and other LJIST events  Plus:  We’re launching an IRL community called Collective Strength in Philly! Check out the details and RSVP to our first event on salary, fair pay, and negotiation. Sara talks about why she makes a point to talk with friends about speaking fees, freelance rates, and salaries as often as possible. Remember our chat with Veronica Rex about the Philadelphia Community Bail Fund two episodes ago? Their Mother’s Day bailout raised over $135,000 this year and bailed out a bunch of moms for the holiday, plus they have plans (and the funds!) to bail out more moms soon.
