Episode Overview

- Systemic transformation requires intentional cultivation of healthy relationships
- Empowerment through advocacy and nurturing a sense of agency for change
We cannot assume that people simply feel like they belong. We have to work to create that. And we need to move from a hundred percent sage on a stage kind of expert stance, reducing that and sharing some time where you are the expert of you stance.
Imagine a world where everyone feels like they truly belong. In this engaging episode of Essential Conversations, hosts Roxanne Pendleton and Andrea Dalton sit down with Jesse Kohler and Whitney Marris from the Campaign for Trauma-Informed Policy and Practice (CTIPP) to discuss how we can make that vision a reality. Jesse and Whitney dive into the importance of creating inclusive spaces that go beyond just having good intentions.
They talk about the need for real, actionable steps to ensure everyone feels included and valued at every level of society. This isn't just about lofty ideals; it's about making tangible changes in our communities. The conversation kicks off with a grounding practice, reminding us that self-care is crucial for anyone looking to make a difference. Jesse and Whitney emphasize that belonging doesn't happen by accident.
It requires effort, intention, and a shift from an 'expert on a stage' mentality to one where everyone has a voice. They advocate for community-centric engagement, where healthy relationships are the foundation of any transformative work. This episode is packed with practical advice on how to turn distress over the current state of the world into courage and agency for change. It's a must-listen for anyone interested in fostering inclusivity and promoting trauma-informed practices in their communities.
