Episode 8: Being the revolution by relating to difference with Andréa Ranae Johnson
“There’s always an invitation into your responsibility, into your sovereignty, into your power, into your wholeness. And especially in a culture that doesn’t hold those things as true and innate, there is always an opportunity to choose, ‘Oh no, I’m not whole. I’m not sovereign.’ or ‘Yes, I am whole. I am sovereign.' “
-Andréa Ranae Johnson, The Everything Belongs Podcast
Today on the Everything Belongs podcast, we are in conversation with Andréa Ranae Johnson. Andréa is a teacher, coach, facilitator and a writer. She is a vision-led facilitator and coach who believes that together, we rise. She is deeply committed to doing her part in cultivating a world that works for everyone and does so by placing her work at the intersections of personal growth, social justice and conscious business. Andréa runs her podcast, A Call to Serve, as well as 2 courses: Rise Up: Visionary Business for These Times and Whole / Self Liberation. In this stirring conversation, Madison and Andréa take on the very deep topic of performative belonging, accepting differences as a radical act of sovereignty and looking at our relationship to our own power. From start to finish, Andréa speaks from her deep sense of sovereignty on self responsibility, trusting (instead of trying to manipulate) others' personal decisions and choosing our wholeness and sovereignty. They also go deep on social media and dealing with the wide array of criticism and judgement there. You'll want to tune in with your full attention to this one. Listen in here...
