Naked Conversations: Race, Culture, & Beyond


Feb 20, 2018

So often I talk to bright, capable, big-hearted women who are struggling with the issue of “enoughness.”  The question often sounds like, “Yeah, but what is my purpose?”

I fully want each and every purpose to have a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction in their lives.  I want them to feel that their life has purpose and meaning, in whatever way they define it.

In this episode, I get into the sticky topic of our purpose and our privilege. After years of reading and learning about my own privilege, and moving through guilt and responsibility, I’m still peeling back the layers… getting more “naked.”  I want everyone to have an experience of life purpose, and I recognize that we haven’t all been granted the same opportunities.

As always, I’m sharing personal stories and insights, along with clear questions and resources to help you dig deeper into your own definition of “life purpose” and the messages you received around that idea based on your place on the privilege continuum.

This show is a particularly naked one for me. I don’t have the answers, but I want to be courageous enough to ask the questions.
