The Antiracist Enneagram Podcast with Jessica Denise Dickson

Making Sense of Burnout

At the time of this recording and posting, yesterday, I was on a panel on burnout that Daylight News San Diego put on and it was an incredible conversation. Visit daylightnewssandiego.org [http://daylightnewssandiego.org] or follow them on social media to support them! As I was reflecting on what I did say, I kept thinking about all that I didn’t get to say, so that’s what this podcast is. If you’ve struggled with burnout, here are a few things that I want you to reflect on regarding the speed of society and our nervous systems, executive function depletion trying to avoid seeming racist, and which types are seen as more natural leaders. Note: at around the 9:20 mark, I said ‘just trying to look racist’ instead of ‘just trying to not look racist.’ Head over to The Antiracist Enneagram Podcast instagram page and share your takeaways!

Shifting From "Am I/is it Racist?!"

In this episode, Jessica discusses the important shift from "Am I racist?" or "Is this racist?" to "In what ways am I/is this complicit with upholding white supremacy?" It's an important shift because if you can name it, you have an increased capacity to change it! If you are interested in becoming better at naming white supremacy, here's my lesson on whiteness basics! https://jessica-s-school-ee3d.thinkific.com/courses/elc-whiteness
