TIMELESS // 'How to Stop Measuring Your Worth' with Sonya Renee Taylor - E242

In this timeless, we explore the "ladder" - the system of hierarchies that tells us which bodies are worthy and which are not. From racism, ableism and capitalism to beauty standards and perfectionism, the ladder keeps us climbing for external validation and always leaves us feeling not enough. Radical self-love offers another way. It asks us to step off the ladder, to revisit the stories that placed us on it and to begin divesting from the messages that keep us trapped. It calls us back to our inherent worth, our divinity and our wholeness. Sonya Renee Taylor Sonya lays out her radical self-love vision. She is a New York Times best-selling author, world-renowned activist and thought leader on racial justice, body liberation and transformational change, international award winning artist, and founder of The Body Is Not an Apology (TBINAA), a global digital media and education company exploring the intersections of identity, healing, and social justice through the framework of radical self-love. This is not easy work, but it is possible through honesty, community, grace and a willingness to embrace our own complexity. And as we do it, we create the conditions not only to free ourselves, but to dismantle the ladder for everyone. We hope this short piece roots softly in your body.
