Connectedness — Welcome to the second half of a Wild and Precious conversation with Cate Baio, Transformational Coach.
Our conversation begins with Cate speaking about the importance of community in connectedness and how challenging that is right now. She talks about a Brene Brown book, “Braving the Wilderness”, and how important shared experience is to our sense of community. (Heck Yes!)
I make a rallying cry for the fact that humans are going to be human, no matter what. And that, with focus and encouragement on healthy ways to connect, we got this.
Cate introduces a term from her child’s school “up & clean or down & dirty” — and we talk about some “up & clean” ways to connect…as well as a few “down & dirty”
We wind our way into creating a culture where everyone is emotionally strong and healthy. Wow. What a world.
I end by sending a shout out to a dear friend who is running for leadership of the British Columbia Green Party, Cam Brewer. A huge boost to ethical, healthy political action.
What we talked about:
First, Braving the Wilderness of community.
Second, We yearn for connection. Let’s do it in an “Up & Clean” way.
Third, Let’s work to foster community that’s connected and healthy…maybe even a few politicians?
Notes:
The Wholehearted Collective — Cate’s latest space for connection.
Braving the Wilderness — Brene Brown
British Columbia Green Party — Cam Brewer’s leadership
