EP 33 - Recognizing Our Power in Times of Terror #1

This short episode is part one of a 2-part mini-series on what it means to practice thought work in times of state-sanctioned terror. As authoritarian regimes rise globally — and as Iran continues to face repression, executions, and silencing — many are asking: Is coaching even relevant right now?In part one, I share why I believe thought work becomes more essential, not less, in extreme conditions. I introduce a pattern I’ve been noticing within our communities as we resist corrupt regimes. I call it "reactive rigidity" and I unpack how it can create unnecessary suffering, especially for the most vulnerable among us.You’ll hear:Why coaching is not indulgent in times of crisis.What “reactive rigidity” is and why our nervous systems crave it right now.How reactive rigidity backfires by reproducing harm in our communities.A simple practice to invite you to pause & note where your thought patterns might reflect reactive rigidity.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WWW.Roxanaakhbari.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to access my other free coaching resources or to book a free consultation call to explore how we can work together.If you find value in what you hear, the best way to support this podcast is to follow the show wherever you listen, leave a review, and share it with others.
