The Power We Hold

<p>Welcome to The Power We Hold podcast!</p><p><br></p><p>The Power We Hold follows eco-artist and spiritual coach Vanessa Albury's journey to to becoming a better and better ally to people of all our beautiful difference ( BIPOC, LGBTQAI2S+ and fellow non-normative brained and bodied friends, neighbors and strangers) and a better steward of planet Earth, our shared home. We talk with culture makers from all over the world about their work and experiences of life.  <br><br>The lovely human and brilliant artist, Caleb Williams is my season 1 co-host on this journey because of her vast talents along with her willingness to have uncomfortable conversations with me and our shared belief in our intentions, integrity and love. She moved to LA to live her dreams, but she will make appearances in future seasons.<br><br>TPWH is here to support you on your journey into better allyship and Earth stewardship with us.. I understand that people tend to listen to other people who look and sound like they do, so I’ve created this podcast to provide an example of how to navigate uncomfortable and even difficult conversations about race, gender, brains, bodies and the planet. <br><br>My intention is for this podcast is to give us all, support for a future of equality and faith that together we can create a better, equal and sustainable world together. <br><br>To get there, to understand each other, we must discuss uncomfortable topics and learn how to relate to each other through them. <br><br>With deeper understanding of each other, we can truly love each other. Thank you for joining me on this journey exploring the power we hold together!</p>
