In this episode, Cat shares what has been on her heart surrounding the topic of racial identity & racial shadow. She gets vulnerable about how detrimental racist ideologies are on the psyche & often go unrealized & play a major role in establishing worthiness. She addresses her white privilege & how she is committing to use it to advocate for anti-racism. Coming from a mixed Latin & European background, she shares how she has internalized racist biases towards her own people and how she is working to heal & decondition these within herself. Please note : Cat does not claim to understand the extent of racism in this country or to fully understand the experience of Black and Indigenous people in this country. She is not an expert on racism nor is this based on fact. Rather it is based on personal experience and meant only to encourage deeper self-reflection of our own relationship to racism so that we can bring healing to the system.
