Episode 17. Acceptance & Diversity
from The MindfulMess with Gene & Matt Hosted by The MindfulMess
We're back! In this episode, we explore the topic of acceptance of oneself and how it influences our ability to accept others. Matt helps us explore what it means to "belong to yourself" and Gene questions where we really draw the line of the people we "are" and the people that we "want to" or feel we are "supposed to be." We discuss how our self talk influences our behaviors, how it's often mirrored in how we treat others, and explore the importance of remaining curious when faced with novel social or cultural experiences. This led us to a conversation about diversity and its inevitability in today's world, and we ponder a different model of seeking understanding in the face of intolerance and some of today's challenges in holding the conversation around anti-racism. Give it a listen and let us know what you think! References: Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown
