Birthing a New Activism with Laura Hartley

I had a deep and vulnerable conversation with Laura Hartley, Climate activist and Life Coach, about Acceptance as a Pathway to Transformation and Collective Liberation.

Acceptance is not giving up. Giving up implies a sense of resignation and defeat, often leading to inaction or a lack of engagement with the challenges at hand. 

In contrast, acceptance is about understanding and acknowledging the reality of a situation while maintaining agency and openness to new possibilities.

We also discuss the long term effects of galvinizing people based on fear and anger ultimately leads to despair and a lack of imagination and joy.

🌟 Here are 3 key takeaways from our conversation:

1️⃣ Remember your story that is not yet complete. The story of the world and our lives is ongoing, offering us the potential to affect change.

2️⃣Enoughness before action: Don’t act from exhaustion.  Get to a place of spaciousness and rest and then choose your action.

3️⃣Unlearning and understanding: Every individual in the pursuit of collective liberation has a unique responsibility to engage in unlearning toxic systems, honoring personal boundaries, and choosing the areas where they can make a meaningful impact without burning out.
