Becoming Irresistible: the story & sources behind Healing Justice Podcast's new name
Published March 18, 2020
It's here - our new name for Healing Justice Podcast!
We are Irresistible -- a community of practice in collective healing and social change. In this episode, hear founder Kate Werning & Advisory Circle member and past guest Ilana Lerman talk all about our name change process, inspirations, and sources for this new name.
Together, we celebrate the many traditions of movement leaders, cultural workers, and spiritual teachers who remind us to embody the liberation we are pursuing and who show us that our movements for justice can and must be expansive, vibrant, and fully alive. We are so much more than resistance. We are irresistible.
