Welcome to Fierce Compassion with Roxy Manning and Sarah Peyton

In our first episode, hosts Roxy Manning and Sarah Peyton discuss the power of compassion in building an antiracist society. They share common struggles with self-compassion - including their own! Roxy and Sarah also touch on the role of unconscious contracts and unconscious bias as blocks to living our antiracist ideals, and explore the concept of Beloved Community. Roxy Manning, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and certified Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC) trainer. She brings decades of service experience to her work interrupting explicitly and implicitly oppressive attitudes and cultural norms. Sarah Peyton, Certified Trainer of Nonviolent Communication and neuroscience educator, integrates brain science and the use of resonant language to awaken and sustain self-compassion, particularly in the face of such difficult issues like self-condemnation, self-disgust and self-sabotage.
