This episode goes into some territory that’s tricky to discuss and uncomfortable to look at: internalized patriarchy and racism. Andrea and I are two white women who tread this space carefully and with respect; seeking to understand, heal, and create awareness around these issues that have maligned, subjugated, and separated humanity for millennia. We are living in a time of deconstruction on multiple levels -inside ourselves and within all institutions. My new friend Andrea Ward Berg is a Human Design specialist whose career path has spanned 15+ corporate jobs and 7 years of entrepreneurship, working in 10+ countries.
