In this episode, I talk about some of the challenges (and possibilities) of navigating identity and status threats in movement building. This is part of my series on The Movement We Need, where I explore five basic needs that successful movements must meet in postive ways: safety, belonging, value, agency and meaning. In this one, I talk about issues of value, and the very real threat people feel when their sense of self is denied or they fear a loss of status.
I highlight ways we can truely see and value one another, foster unity and build a broad-based, impactful movement.
Also, join me for my new 6-part online and by-donation program “Magic for Challenging Times.” We will meet across 6 Wednesdays beginning on April 16th. Sessions are recorded so you can join at any time!
