Today I sat down with healthcare worker and activist Anna Lovotti. Anna is a physical therapist who recently moved to California to put her newest niche as a Neurology Certified Specialist to good use. She like many, was jolted into action regarding anti-racist education as a white ally following the death of George Floyd. Today we talk about what the process has been like, the bumps along the way and what is left to be learned. Antiracism is not a checklist or a class where you complete a few assignments. I also want to note that we talked about 1 instance in which I experienced racism at my alma mater. The individual who committed this act is no longer with the institution, and I do want to say that sitting down with her to talk about about it and naming the wrongs did provide for some therapeutic healing

Topics of discussion
- The Journey to becoming anti-racist
- What we have learned about ourselves and the system
- Having tough conversation as a clinician

Activist, Friend, bald…..Why am I mentioning that she’s bald? Well as always you’ll see once you finish listening to the episode, but without giving up too much Kristina does a beautiful job of highlighting the title of this episode: Life gets life-y.

Evolution of self is continuous.

Not only is my friend Courtney Greth an entrepreneur, LMT, Reiki Practitioner, Certified Yomassage Therapist, she is lightning in a bottle. Her energy and enthusiasm for personal development is hard to contain and I didn’t want to! She was very candid throughout this conversation about anxiety, boundaries and the journey towards practicing self-care. There truly is no better way to promote your business than practicing what you preach so I want you to pay attention to how the energy shifted after we took a deep breath. It really is nature’s reset button.
