Healing Hearts: Tackling Racism and Trauma with Lisa Lackey and Deirdre Fay

When you think about trauma, it becomes a way of life where you're hyper aware, right or deadened and numb, because I was going to say outside of your home is never safe.
Imagine sitting down with a friend and talking about the tough stuff—racism, trauma, and healing. That's exactly what you'll get in this episode of 'Insideout Conversations'. Lisa Lackey, a seasoned therapist and consultant, teams up with trauma expert Deirdre Fay to dive deep into the emotional and psychological toll of racism. Lisa shares her own experiences and those of her family, offering a raw and heartfelt look at how deeply ingrained racism affects lives.
Deirdre brings her expertise to the table, emphasizing that while systemic change is crucial, real transformation starts in the heart. They both agree that a 'soul revival' is needed—where hearts are renewed and transformed to truly make a difference. Throughout their conversation, they touch on the history of racism, the current landscape, and the role of younger generations in driving change.
They discuss strategies for healing, the importance of feeling connected in relationships, and how spirituality can help navigate these tough waters. One standout moment is when they talk about how trauma from racism can manifest as hyper-awareness or numbness, and why acknowledging this trauma is vital for healing. Lisa and Deirdre wrap up the episode with a hopeful message, urging listeners to stay engaged in the fight against racism and to foster meaningful connections in their lives.
If you're looking for a conversation that's both challenging and uplifting, this episode is a must-listen.
