Dismantling Hierarchy

4/27/2024
Isis Fabian is a corporate recovery and neurodivergent coach. They explore what their world looks like current day especially as discrimination toward neurodivergency is at an all time high due to workplaces not being equipped with both the hard and soft skills to support accordingly. Isis is changing that to where individuals and organizations are learning how to be supported and be supportive. Further, we go deep into discussing the constructs and systems in the world that are still rooted in patriarchy, white supremacy, colonialism, imperialism, etc. and that it's not that these systems are broken...they are actually operating exactly how they were designed - the work is to completely dismantle them to be able to move forward and to make room for the new world.

Equinox, astrological new year in Aries, Full and New Moon in Aries, and eclipse season?! Morgan Garza is a teacher, an author, a coven leader, a CMO, and the head witch over at Saged. This is a community that I have found after experiencing my awakening in 2022. Morgan and I talk about our respective experiences and dip into what it means for us to be modern day witches, being in tune with the elements and nature, and how to build a magical life that you could have never dreamt of. Trust and surrender are the keys to meeting yourself on your highest timeline - and it's easier said than done. Ultimately what this means is to not be attached to any outcome, Trusting that you are going to be ok, that everything is unfolding as it should, and that what's supposed to happen is already happening. Your job is to trust, hold your vibration for yourself, and you will find yourself surrounded by the people, places, and things meant for your highest self.
