39. Joy Is My Justice with Tanmeet Sethi

Tanmeet Sethi, MD (she/her) is an Integrative Family Medicine physician who has devoted her career to caring for the most vulnerable and spent the last 25 years on the frontlines practicing primary care, global trauma, and community activism. Her first book, Joy Is My Justice (Hachette, 5/2/23) is a radical push on the cultivation of Joy in a whitewashed wellness world as a revolutionary healing practice and human right accessible to all.

In this episode, Tanmeet and I discuss:

- Tanmeet’s background and what brought her to her work with joy and justice

- What joy actually is and how to know when we're experiencing it

- Today’s toxic white-washed wellness industry and the harmful impacts it’s having on people of color and marginalized communities

- How is joy a pathway to liberation

- Ancestral and generational trauma and how we heal our lineages

- Resilience and what it actually means to be resilient

- Tanmeet shares two of her practices for finding and experiencing joy
