Liberatory Strategy

In today’s episode, Shirani is shining a light on what she refers to as “everyday supremacy”; ways in which we uphold supremacy culture on an everyday basis. Ways that keep us divided, separate and isolated. But the truth is that we're just trying to prove that we are worthy of love, acceptance, connection and belonging. So, how do we heal everyday supremacy so that we can get what we truly desire...

Supremacy culture began long ago before the Middle Ages and Euro colonization. This is when white body supremacy culture began, but the pattern of supremacy culture has been with us since the first known recorded civilization, the ancient Sumerian civilization. That is over 5000 years of trauma that lives in our body and our DNA. It’s time we heal it!  In today’s episode, we cover:  Being vulnerab...

Supremacy culture wants us to stay disconnected. It wants us to stay in shame, so that we don't speak, so that we don't share. But you know what supremacy culture? You don't win this one. In today’s episode, Shirani explains how she got back up after feeling completely burnt out last year, and how her realization that she was building her business from a place of fear and trauma response turned ev...

Do you ever get that feeling of loneliness and lack of connection? Those feelings are a part of our lack of fulfillment and they’re due to our disconnection from Source, Self and others. In today’s episode we talk about how, for generations, our way of thinking and our false beliefs are keeping us from feeling worthy and receiving the love, the beauty, the joy, the connection, the contentment, and...

If you feel burnt out, like there's something missing and you just know that you're not living your life to its fullest capacity despite having all the things, then today’s episode is exactly what you need. Today, Shirani talks about why we always chase after the next thing just to end up feeling unfulfilled and exhausted. She talks about her own experience on the path to fulfillment and how you c...

Today’s episode is all about boundaries and the small shifts you can make to your perspective so that you can be true to yourself and your boundaries with ease. One of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to boundaries is that you create boundaries *for* other people, when in fact, boundaries are for you.  Boundaries are created for *you* to adhere to them, not for others to adhere to them.  Y...

Today we’re busting the myth that there’s value in the hustle and grind, and offering an alternative instead. I see you over there, placing your value on how hard you can hustle and do the grind.  And I also see that you’re incredibly exhausted.  So, tell me, how’s the hustle and grind serving you? Spoiler alert: It’s not. In today’s episode we’re talking about the fact that most of the time when...

Developing a relationship with a power greater than yourself is not optional, it's mandatory, if you are going to be a leader who can truly affect global change. The reason we see all of the different problems in our world today, is because we have forgotten our connection with a Divine Source of Power greater than ourselves. A Divine Power that guides us, fuels us, gives us the power that we have...

One of the age old questions is: how to balance your personal and professional lives? Work-life balance is the million dollar question. The reason the answer is ever elusive for so many people is because they’re buying into the myth that the personal and the professional are separate.  In today’s episode we’re talking about the fact that the personal and the professional aren’t separate, and debun...

Today we’re answering the question how do we shift from problems to solutions, and I’m sharing with you a powerful 3-part process to help you succeed.  When we have a hard time resolving problems, especially in a team or group setting, or when solutions don’t stick, there’s a couple major reasons for it: 1. We haven’t taken a thorough history of the problem. 2. We’re trying to problem solve from a...

Have you ever wondered the best way to set your day up for success? One of our community members asked me this question a couple of months ago, and in today’s episode, I’m sharing with you the exact steps I take to set my day up for success. Before we talk about my actual morning routine, however, we need to talk about how it's our spiritual connection to a Power Greater than ourselves that actual...

The "Model Minority Myth", a phrase I learned from Ijeoma Oluo, is a tool the supremacy uses to keep BIPOC folx hating on one another. Our achievements are weaponized against one another and this becomes yet another one of the burdens we carry. We must break free from this toxic pattern and break out of this myth. The reason I'm talking about this today is because as a leader, it's imperative for...

Today we're exploring how the bastardization of the feminine (check out previous episode, S2E5: The Fierce Feminine) lead to women being the ones carrying the heaviest burdens. The burdens us women carry are heavy and the burdens we carry are many. It's important to note that the burdens we carry aren't ours alone We carry the burdens and the pain of the men that we love, our children, our familie...

Technically, this is Part 3 of the You're Powerful AF mini-series, but she's so fierce she needed her own name! Do you ever have those days where you neglect and ignore your own needs, you don't follow your hunches, so you feel irritable and the whole day ends up being a hot mess? Yeah, I've had those days, too... And typically, they're the days that I haven't listened to the power and the wisdom...

In this episode we're continuing the conversation we started last week about the fact that you are powerful af. Tune in to learn how it is that we got it twisted and fell under the illusion that we are not powerful and how we can start to take our power back. Today's episode is sponsored by: The Sanctuary for BIPOC Women in Leadership If you're a BIPOC womxn in leadership, and you'd like to connec...

Did you know that you are powerful af? I mean, really, truly, you are powerful. So why is it that sometimes you don't feel that way? Why is it that imposter syndrome can creep up on you, planting seeds of doubt, leading you to question the choices you make and therefore how powerful you are?  Because,  living under the colonial, capitalist, white supremacist, contemptuous patriarchy, we're taught...

What if you knew that you didn't have to show up armored up and ready to defend yourself all the time? What if you understood that you can be strong and gentle at the same time? And what if it were possible for you to find fierceness in your gentleness? These are just some of the topics our first guest of Season 2, Krishna Avalon, and I dig into in this episode. We also talk about being a Brown gi...
