Join me as we step into the world of Carmen Berkley, Vice President of Strategy and Impact for the Inatai Foundation, a staunch advocate for racial justice and equity, and a champion of individuals across all diverse backgrounds. Carmen's journey, uniquely rooted in a family lineage of strong, nurturing women, and her dedication to creating meaningful societal change will leave you both inspired and challenged. From her personal acts of revolution, her deep-seated reverence for her community and ancestral ties, to her unwavering empathy in the face of capitalist structures, Carmen's narrative is a testament to the power of of the kind heart.

We delve into the soul of community, exploring the myriad ways it shapes us and the crucial role it plays in our lives. Whether it's the laughter that binds us, the music that moves us, or a shared sense of belonging, community is a lifeline that enriches our existence. Yet, we din't gloss over the shadows within the broader world, as we discuss the potential for exploitation and the importance of forging genuine connections as an antidote to hostility.

Carmen and I discussed the transformative process of transitioning from trauma surviving to trauma rising. Carmen shares invaluable insights on tapping into our creative potential, the role of therapy, and the significance of self-care in this journey. As we envision a future where empathy takes center stage, and Empath Leaders steer the way, we conclude our episode with a connective breath exercise - a universal prayer and a tangible bond uniting us in our shared energetic community. This conversation was truly riveting, heart-felt, and we could feel ancestral angels looking down on us with a wise nod.
