Honoring Authenticity and Diversity with Julie and Willow
Discussing honoring sensitivity, LGBTQ equality, equal rights, educating ourselves about how to heal systemic racism and how we can support black, indigenous people of color (BIPOC) So important for us to be ourselves in the world and not only accept differences but to embrace differences Let’s start celebrating the beauty of all of our differences. Why would we want to be the same? It is in the differences that make us valuable and beautiful in the world. I share my own story of hiding who I was as I tried to be in the role of being "perfect" and lost who I was and how both my personal life and my business thrived when I stepped into my own authenticity. Lots of work to be done for equality: we still have to consider safety and acceptance as a consideration for where we live. Our ancestors who lived in tribes honored the sensitive in the group because of our natural gifts. We were the highly valued and respected healers, guides, and leaders of the tribe because of our unique gifts. This high sensitivity trait evolved for the particular survival of the population because of our unique gifts and their importance to the world. Somewhere along the way, society got too busy and started giving us messages that who we are and how we experience the world is different and wrong in some way. I say it’s time to change that message back into a place of honoring who we are and embracing diversity in general. Why is there such a push to have everyone be the same? Differences are needed and beautiful and valuable. With differences comes important perspective, creativity, details, and information! It’s time to embrace and honor differences! Let’s be the change the world needs and cherish authenticity and a loving acceptance of everyone. Let’s honor the sensitive. Let’s embrace the fluidity and spectrum of sexuality and gender. Let’s cherish Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. I truly believe it is HSPs that care so deeply for others that can be part of the change. Let’s open to, embrace, honor, and celebrate the superpowers of the sensitive and the beauty of diversity.
