S2/E3 - Lisa Berry Blackstock - Walking Monsters: Navigating Unfair Systems We Didn't Choose

Host: Jess Villegas - ACUITY Business ConsultingIn this episode of The Leader’s Commute Podcast, we explore what it means to navigate systems that are large, impersonal, and often unfair — systems we didn’t design and can’t easily change but still have to live inside.This conversation with Lisa Berry Blackstock, one of the earliest and best-known internationally independent patient advocates thriving in the healthcare advocacy field, is not about outrage or blame. It’s about learning how to stay grounded, attentive, and human while navigating complexity, power imbalance, and uncertainty.Walking Monsters isn’t about villains or bad actors. It’s a way of naming the reality that some systems, such as — healthcare, bureaucracy, institutions — move through our lives with real consequences, regardless of intention.  Soul Sherpa Healthcare Advocacy Services: soulsherpa.net  Soul Sherpa Solutions: soulsherpasolutions.comCONTACT Jess Villegas Jess Email: [email protected] Jess LinkedIN: LinkedIn
