108: ICE Raids, Fear, and Rising Up: How to Process, Act, and Heal Together

I share the raw truth of what it's like to live through the fear, trauma, and resilience brought on by ICE raids in our communities and how we rise together in response.This week, I come to you with a heavy heart and a strong voice. With ICE raids terrorizing cities like Los Angeles and communities being paralyzed by fear, this moment demands that we wake up, feel, act, and take care of each other. I reflect on what I’m seeing and feeling, and share tools for processing these intense emotions while offering a path forward rooted in action, healing, and community.I talked about:The emotional and spiritual impact of ICE raids across Los Angeles and beyondWhat I’m witnessing firsthand from self-deportation to marches and community uprisingWhy now is the time for deep transformational work and radical self-awarenessThe four tools to navigate these times:Acknowledge your feelings even if you’re feeling numbProcess your emotions - talk it out, write, art, or dance it outDecide how to use your emotions take aligned action, big or smallRest and recharge because healing and activism both require energyI invite you to join us for two upcoming community events that are rooted in healing, empowerment, and action:Future Self Experience (virtual, June 22): https://www.wendyamara.com/workwithme/p/future-self-experienceLatinas in Wellness (in-person, Los Angeles): bit.ly/latina-in-wellnessThis is a time to come together, not to be an isolation, but to feel and rise with intention.
