how to stop apologizing for your privilege & start giving back

Feeling guilty about your privilege doesn’t make you a good person, it keeps you stuck. In this episode of Get In, You’re Driving, we unpack why suffering can become seductive, why guilt without action isn’t humility, and how pain can either turn inward and harden you or move outward and make you useful. We talk privilege, responsibility, and what “giving back” actually looks like, without performative shame or shrinking your life. 📚 Essays That Go With This Episode 🔗 The Seduction of Suffering https://museguided.substack.com/p/the-seduction-of-suffering 🔗 Privilege Is Not the Problem (Not Doing Anything With It Is) https://amariawholikestowrite.substack.com/p/privilege-isnt-the-problem-not-doing 🔗 Connect With Me 🚗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/getinyouaredriving/ 🚗 Website: https://www.getinyouaredriving.com/ 🚗 Substack: https://amariawholikestowrite.substack.com/ 🚗 YouTube:⁠ https://www.youtube.com/@getinyouaredriving⁠ 🚗 Email: maria@getinyouaredriving.com Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
