S01 Episode 08: Alta Starr - Everything Is Already All Right

"There is so much toxicity in 'bitch' --all the misogyny, all the hatred of women. And then to add 'old' to it.  It's everything terrifying and awful. All the more reason to glorify it!" Alta Starr, 65, is a coach, trainer and writer who has a dazzling way with words and an exuberant sense of humor.  A former teacher, radio news and music producer, and grantmaker, these days Alta only does the work she loves now. Rather than worry about making lots of money, she trusts that "everything is already all right," a Black Southern saying. Alta is a skilled practitioner of somatics, a holistic change theory for individuals and groups to embody new ways of being and action that align with their values and longings. She has a private coaching practice for individuals, many on a pro bono basis, and trains groups such as BOLD (Black Organizing for Leadership and Dignity). Listen to how this wise woman composes her life and reveals her secret for fully enjoying being alive.
