Ep. 24 - Paradox & Healing - Feat. Tyger

Today, Sam speaks with his friend Ty.

Join us as we talk to Ty about his life experience, growing up as a black man in a country that oppressed him and ancestors, and his work in himself and with others to heal.

Experiencing emotional complexity this year | After hearing the presidential election results saying to himself, "I can take a breath" | Feeling a glimmer of hope for the next administration in the White House | Living in a world where irrational prejudice is in the "ether" constantly | Asking himself, "How can people not find a way to kindness?" | Paradox of feeling compassionate towards others while simultaneously reporting an experience of "terror." | "There is nothing in him that is not in you, you cannot move from othering, you can only move by healing the part of them that lives in me" | "We are here to heal Western civilization." (Malidoma Somé) | Working in prison with inmates about healing and experiencing their wounding through their stories | "The healing is hearing where other people are coming from." | Experiencing the enthusiasm from which the younger generation is stepping into being their authentic selves. | "A better argument doesn't mean others are wrong; it means you've been able to bully them into believing your perspective is strong." | Feeling the importance of multigenerational gatherings at this time | His great grandmother Cora Lena Odom said, "No one is better than you, and you are better than no one!" |

I have so much love and appreciation for you, Ty!
