Join us in an honest conversation with Chaney Williams (she/they) exploring how we can be in relationship with the entirety of ourselves, and what can happen when we have brave space to show up fully.
Chaney Williams is a poet, full spectrum doula, ritualist, and writer. She lives in Kentucky and has been a southerner since birth.
Chaney strongly believes that all people deserve access to trauma informed, intersectional, sex positive, reproductive care. For Chaney, writing specifically their poetry and creative non-fiction essays are confessional in nature because they create what they know and what haunts them because it is the way they make sense of the world they exist in. It is how she finds belonging in the universe and connects to her ancestors, future descendants, and the collective.Connect with Chaney:

What do we have to risk to be reconnected?
Join us in an honest conversation with Nanci Luna Jiménez (she/her) exploring why it is necessary to ground in our human goodness to end racism.
Nanci Luna Jiménez has committed to her own healing for more than 30 years to be a transformative guide, heart-centered listener, and authentic companion for leaders and change-makers committed to racial healing and social justice. Since founding the Luna Jiménez Institute for Social Transformation in 1994, she has reached tens of thousands of people with her core message of human goodness and connection as a transformational approach to social change.
Nanci works from the premise that systems are made up of humans, and unhealed humans perpetuate harm and injustice. Her approach centers healing and authentic relationships as the foundation for sustainable systems change and accountability. She gently reminds people what they already know: oppression can only end with their healing, and, with support, they can completely heal!
As a sought after TEDx speaker, coach, and master-level facilitator, Nanci’s approach honors the legacy and teachings of Dr. Erica “Ricky” Sherover-Marcuse, who coined the term “unlearning racism,” and Lillian Roybal Rose, M.Ed., an expert in cross-cultural communication.
Of Afro-Puerto Rican and Mexican heritage, Nanci was born in Detroit, MI, and raised in Detroit and Tucson, AZ. She currently lives in Portland, OR.

How do we develop leaders who care? What does care in the workplace look like?

What does it mean to be in relationship to questions? What does it mean to BE a living question ourselves?
Join us in honest conversation with Avery Kalapa (they/them) exploring the juicy, sometimes scary, and always revealing space that exists when we unhook from familiarity and open ourselves to new possibilities.
"And so to be in a relationship with questioning to me is almost to be in a relationship with that deeper, more mystical spiritual truth element where it's like, what is actually true for me? And of course I can't help but relate this to transness because for me, the journey of gender has been very much a spiritual journey at uncovering, and a discovering and a turning towards, 'oh, what is this thing that is unknown but that is blooming? What is this seed that is planted in the dark but wants to bloom?' And I don't know what's going to grow, and I don't know what changes it may bring to my life, but I know it needs to bloom. "Avery Janeczek Kalapa (they, them) is a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher, community weaver at Sadhana Support Collective, and queer + trans wellness organizer; eRYT500, YACEP, BFA, with 20+ years experience.
Celebrated for their enthusiasm, devotion, and depth of technique, Avery's teaching uplifts inner healing rooted in collective liberation.
They center integrative functional anatomy, nervous system regulation and stability to support queers and other counter-culture yoga lovers to break the burn out cycle, be nourished, strong, and spiritually powerful without bypassing the wisdom of their body and lived experience.
Avery’s a parent, gardener, creator; a white, trans, nonbinary settler based in unceded Tiwa land, Albuquerque NM.
An exploration of the relationship of transness and questioningHow answers can provide a false sense of security, while questions invite us into a deeper relationship with the unknown What conditions are needed to allow us to enter into a state of questioning, and how Avery creates this environment in their yoga offerings and practiceWhy questions are key if we are interested in divesting from patterns, conditioning and trauma How to cultivate the yogic teaching of Viveka ("discernment")Why it matters to have affirming yoga spaces, especially for folks who hold marginalized identitiesWhat possibilities "might open up if I’m allowed to want what I want? If I'm allowed to need what I need, and let that be on the surface and not the subconscious? Where might that lead us?"

Tristan holds space for learning and unlearning about gender as it relates to trans inclusion and queer competency, and teaches marketing practices to foster business growth from a justice and equity-focused perspective. They have been named one of Yoga Journal’s 2021 Game Changers. They serve on the Board of Directors at Accessible Yoga—a non-profit working, through education and advocacy, to share the teachings and benefits of yoga with those who have been marginalized, and to identify and remove barriers to access, build strong networks, and advocate for an accessible, equitable yoga culture.
We first met Tristan in 2021, and with so much mission and vision alignment, immediately dove head first into collaborations. BWB has learned so much about how to create safer spaces and deeply engage in solidarity work through their trans inclusion counsel.
In 2021, Tristan spoke at a BWB conference on a panel titled: Activism in Action: Centering Impact. The conversation was so epic that we decided to start this conversation from some of the seeds and lingering tendrils of that discussion.
In this episode you’ll hear:
