Wow, mahalo for introducing Loretta J. Ross to me. She is speaking my language. I am here for her energy too, Liz. So many gems. "We are not in charge of the timeline of how fast human hearts and minds change." "I want real people around me. I don't need a martyr, and I don't need an asshole." Haha. Thank you, Loretta. I feel relief. I feel calm. I feel a new level of gratitude for my own struggles. I will be alright.
Absolutely same. Loved the entire podcast and I’m so looking forward to keeping up with her work.
So glad you joined us! Loretta is truly incredible.
In love with this conversation. Can all men and people watch this and talk to someone else about it
"Not being trauma- controlled." THANK you Loretta! And Justin thank you for bringing up How people react with "keyboard courage". For me, this is such a serious issue. Hardly know where to begin on this. The discussion is great on this. My second time watching.
Thanks Gretchen. We always appreciate your insightful comments and gratitude.
Really inspired by this week's episode to show up better in the world. Also want to echo what Justin said about being online less. It really helps to get away from the constant unhelpful negativity.
It's hard to do, but so important for our mental health these days.
Balance is needed between being truthful and respectful . In connection to personal speech on touchy subjects that is helpful.
Thanks for sharing your reaction. Glad you're here with us.
Wow, my favorite guest so far. So much insight, I wrote down a lot of what Loretta said. Thank you guys
Thank you! So glad it resonated with you.
Thank you.
This has helped to introduce me to a way of being open, and going beyond my normalised critiques
So glad to hear that. Thanks for watching.
