Ep, 147 Community as an Antidote to Whiteness. Pt. 2: Obstacles to Community
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Part Two of Community as an Antidote to Whiteness, we name five common ways people unintentionally sabotage the very thing they say they want: community. From profit-chasing to power-seeking, avoidance of vulnerability to lack of accountability—and one surprise obstacle—we unpack how these patterns show up, why they’re rooted in whiteness and control culture, and what it takes to do something different.
We also share a mushroom fact about root entanglement, reflect on our first year living in Portugal, and offer stories from the daily work of choosing connection over performance.
🎙️ The Ben and Jamesa Podcast is where we explore the deep work of healing, leadership, and building connection in a world built for disconnection.
