Shape Your Foundation 3-Day Retreat: The Women in the Family

In this week’s conversation with Hannah Summerhill we explore her insights on how we can all work to overcome the barriers that prevent us from having conversations on race, inequity, and how to best navigate these issues while creating more inclusive and equitable communities.

Her new book, "Real Friends Talk About Race: Bridging the Gaps Through Uncomfortable Conversations,” was co-authored with Yseult P. Mukantabana and discusses how to best approach these conversations. Their book can and can be found on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and wherever major physical and digital publications are sold.

Shape Your Foundation 3-Day Retreat: The Women in the Family

In this episode of Shaping Freedom, Lisane Basquiat is joined by Ruby Warrington, author of "Sober Curious," "The Sober Curious Reset," and her latest book, "Women Without Kids," to discuss the intersections of sobriety, redefining motherhood, and finding freedom in our choices.

The conversation begins with Ruby sharing her personal journey to sobriety and how it led her to explore spirituality. She highlights the importance of exploring sobriety as a tool for personal growth, rather than just a means of quitting alcohol.

The discussion then moves to the societal expectations placed on mothers and the need to redefine motherhood and find freedom in our choices. Ruby challenges the belief that motherhood should be the primary focus of a woman's life and encourages us to create our own definitions of motherhood.

Lisane and Ruby then dive into Ruby's latest book, "Women Without Kids," which explores the stigma surrounding women who choose not to have children and the societal pressures they face. Ruby discusses how she hopes the book will encourage conversations around this topic and provide support to women who have made this choice.

Finally, Ruby shares how she found spirituality as a means of connecting with something greater than herself and how it has been a transformative experience on her journey towards freedom.Key Takeaways:

This week I’m joined by the wellness guru, founder, speaker, and fellow human, Tai Beauchamp. After leaving a career in publishing, Tai decided to pursue her entrepreneurial heart and follow her desire to help women of color to connect and care for themselves. We’ll talk about Tai’s journey from her impressive journey in publishing to the founding of her wellness beauty brand Brown Girl Jane and why she decided to start her Instagram live experience Morning Mindset with Tai. We’ll talk about the privilege of caretaking and how we have to find a balance between our personal and professional lives. And we’ll talk about the complexities of growing at different rates than those around us. I had such a wonderful time talking with Tai and I know you’ll connect with her humanity just like I did.

This week I’m joined by Oliver Chittenden, the founder of Head Talks, a site that gathers hundreds of educational and inspirational stories about the different ways people care for their mental and emotional well-being. The site has been dubbed TED Talks for the mind. We’re talking about how to build your own toolbox for your mental and emotional health. We’re all unique individuals with different needs and one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work for everyone. And even as the stigma surrounding mental health melts away, we need to learn to recognize what makes our own struggles, recoveries, and successes our own. We’ll talk a little bit about Oliver's own journey to self discovery and how he hopes to help people everywhere get to know themselves better and find the tools that work best for them. If hearing new perspectives on finding a healthy balance for your mental health is exciting to you like it is for me, I think you’ll love listening to my conversation with Oliver Chittenden.
