So, as we close in on the end of January 2021, how's your resolution going? Or have you set that kind of thing aside? This podcast is an exploration of the many ways we can set goals, find and define our purpose, and do so in a way that considers what the world around us needs. We speak with four embodiyou teachers (Emily Bromberg, Rebecca Polan, Melissa Clark and Mary Hammerstein) and two guests, anti-racism educator Dr. Barbara Shabazz of Intentional Activities and fitness expert Alix Hogu, founder of Five Diamond Fitness and Wellness. 

Learn how the tradition of New Year's Resolutions map to oppressive cultural norms that can make us suffer needlessly from Emily Bromberg and Melissa Clark. Then discover an alternative to resolutions in the form of connecting with evergreen, internally driven goals from Alix Hogu. From Rebecca Polan learn the process of Ikigai, a Japanese term that means "reason for being" that includes creating a purpose that ties to what the world needs. And speaking of what the world needs, hear some powerful words by Dr. Barbara Shabazz on what the world needs from you to dismantle systems of white supremacy that create inequity in our nation.

Integrate the insights with embodiyou teacher Mary Hammerstein, who offers a breathing exercise and an intention-setting meditation so you can embody your intention and so you can be you, on purpose.
