Grief is our gateway to change. Have you ever been told you’re “too much” because of the crazy amount of feelings you hold?
In this episode of The Time of the Feminine, Clare Dubois pours her heart out about feminine leadership and dealing with grief. We've been numbed by generational undigested trauma that labeled crying as weakness, that pain is meant to be handled alone, or that emotions are for “girls” only. Well, all those are lies.
Here, Clare shares why we can only heal the planet if we acknowledge its desecration - if we let ourselves grieve the dying trees and shed tears for the suffering of fellow beings. Also, she talks about how she built TreeSisters, ways to overcome our fear of failure, and what it takes to be a feminine leader.
Clare Dubois is the founder of TreeSisters, a social change and reforestation charity that activates nature-based feminine leadership while restoring humanity’s relationship with nature.
