[00:01:41] Willo's Interview--- [00:01:41] Trina: Willow. Thank you so much for joining me again. We had such an amazing conversation last time, and I'm just thrilled that you're back and I'm ready to dig in. Again, there was so much gold in that last conversation. [00:01:56] Willo: Yeah, me too. I mean, if you, and I could probably talk all [00:02:00] day, but I'm really, really excited to help expand upon that. Anyone who really got some big sparks and things lit up for them, or they were curious, we are going to dive into it and give some juicy details, right now.. [00:02:12] Trina: Yeah, so, and listeners, one of the things that we talked about last time was canceled culture, the which wound and how it's more important than ever to source within and to speak our truth. And I'd love to jump in and talk about cancel culture first because cancel culture, it, we see it a lot in politics, but when we look in to the business world, We see entrepreneurs really creative. Heart-centered. Entrepreneurs who are sharing of themselves. I mean, they wouldn't be doing that. I mean, being an entrepreneur is not the easiest job. There are easier ways to make money, but these entrepreneurs, if they're anything like you, if they're anything like me, they're here to make an impact. And, and this is the only [00:03:00] way that they can see to make the kind of impact that they desire. And so I know from those that I know. You'll have to tell me if it's the same for you, which I'm pretty sure it is that they're passionate about what they do. They believe in what they do and they're sharing from their heart and they're sharing their truth. And when they go online and it's sad to say that, that there are some out there, who poop on their parade? Who, who criticized, who cut them down, who try to cancel them because they're not perhaps maybe mainstream or they speak about something that the person who's commenting doesn't understand. How do you see that happening in the [00:04:00] world of social media? [00:04:03] Willo: Yeah, well, in particular, you hit the nail on the head because one of the things I want to presence here, that's at the root of. Cancel culture is ultimately judgment. And so often, Brené Brown has that beautiful quote about how, essentially something about being in the arena. Right. And how so often there's people that are, throwing the stones and casting the judgment, but they're not even in the area. Yeah. I'm no expert on cancel culture, but it is. I always really presents it as, because the thing is, this is that if you are watching and you are watching, possibly leader people, you know, who have been taken down specially, I mean, we've seen this so much as we've, black lives matter. That's come around. Really being aware of racism amongst, and just the entire thing we've seen with race and really [00:05:00] acknowledging privilege as a white woman. And so lots of white coach, white women coaches have been torn down in the last year or two. Of course white men, me too movement. Right? It's just, it's across the board. That there's a lot of this. So as we're seeing it, we cannot unsee it. Right. And these little things are living not only in our nervous system, but also in truly our DNA and our ancestry from a long, long time. That's where we linked it to the witch wound. So the one piece I want to presence here is recognizing how often judgment. Comes from this, like, or cancel culture comes from judgment it's it was absolutely. I think I there's a, a core value that is being triggered for people when they are wanting to stand up for what's. Right. And I get that. I totally get that. And there's a point we've seen where it has gone to.[00:06:00] Style. And so it's just presencing that even if you're just witnessing it and you are like, you only have a couple of hundred followers on Instagram, or you're just starting your little tiny baby business. These are the things that are all of a sudden making you be like, well, shit, I better not speak up. I better not actually make waves or that might be me too. And so even though you're mild, Away from that ever happening, you're still being impacted it cause it already, your nervous system is how to, you haven't even gotten to the point of expanding your nervous system to potentially have, I wasn't of followers let alone tens of thousands of followers, but this happens at every level. There's people also that are at, 10 and 20,000 and they're afraid to go bigger. They're afraid to claim we have many layers, right. That we're peeling off. So, yeah, but just recognizing it, acknowledging that this judgment often is something that I always think about this. When I hear somebody who has a lot of judgment or criticism for others is how much [00:07:00] criticism and judgment they must have for themselves. [00:07:03] Trina: Yes. You spoke so many powerful things right in there, and I need to unpack some of them. There was so much in there. Okay. So I absolutely love that. You talked about energy, that you talked about judgment because those things go together. When I talk about energy, energy is the ability to do work and work is the ability to create change. And when you were talking about judgment, judgment limits our view.. It reduces the amount of opportunities we see and the, the opportunities that we can grasp the opportunities are always there right out in front of us offering themselves up to us. But if we can't see them, we can't grab them [00:07:54] Willo: We're judging other people. Because we [00:08:00] also hold ourselves, we are, we're judging ourselves so harshly and it just spills out. I mean, ultimately, even on some of the work that I do, right, this is the, the villain, the villain wants to point fingers at other people and blame people and make them wrong. Well, we also have villains that point, our fingers at ourselves. Of what's the matter with you, what's wrong with you. You're not doing this right. You don't know what you're doing. Right. And so there's some element and that's where then we get into this power dynamic, right? Where the ego feels so satisfied by making someone else wrong because that all of a sudden it somehow makes us feel superior or better. [00:08:43] Trina: Right. Energy is so, interesting in how we judge. Because we can judge at many different levels. And you were just talking about when we judge
