DEFINING & REDEFINING AMERICAN: The ‘Where Are You From’ Trigger
How “American” is anyone? Whether you’re the person asking - or the person being asked - asking where someone is from can imply so much more! Listen in as we explore how we approach this question in the US, and how we can choose to own our truth without oppressing ourselves and others. CW: We have nuanced conversations on this podcast from the experience of a neurodivergent individual. You’re invited to play - and as with all invitations - you are able to decline the invite. The choice is yours 💌
Get ready to:
💌Play with valuing the natural diversity (it already exists - we just need to acknowledge it!)
💌Explore how to diversify your own experience of “American”.
💌Challenge yourself to practice empowered engagement within your Self AND with Others.

Triggered Topics: Nationality - Diversity - Empowerment.
Whether it's you who struggles with these moments as a trigger or someone you know - we can all use tools to recondition cultural beliefs that aren't realistic or helpful to our personal experience as a human being. It starts with you, so have a journal on hand or a good friend to dialogue with what comes up for you in this episode. And if you can't play with this today? That's okay too. Stay curious. We'll see you later, or in the next episode friend.
