Building the World We Want with Beth Green

Is this a sudden change? Or were we like this before, but didn’t know it? Tune in for this and more on today’s Lighting the Way.

Join me in fighting against being a victim in your own mind. Like many others, I have been victimized by sexual abuse. And like many others, I have been repressed, suppressed and oppressed by others with more power. But like the women who have stood up to Jeffrey Epstein, Trump and others, I am not a victim, and I don’t want to be called that. Why? And what to do instead.

Tune in for More.

A lot of us wake up every day wondering what is the next freedom of ours being threatened, what group is being targeted now and which rights are we losing today. And we want that world to go away. We can close our eyes, go to the beach and escape for a moment, but the beaches will be increasingly polluted, the forests will be increasingly logged and the environment will continue to be degraded at a faster rate. How to escape? Don’t escape. Let’s really make the world go away. Tune in for how.

Evolution: We use that term a lot to describe a path of personal and societal growth. But what is evolution? Is it becoming some preconceived notion of ourselves, or is it shifting away from our preconceived notions? Is it the path to "success," or is it a never-ending process where even our view of success changes? And what does all this have to do with the ego, which is always screaming in our heads about what we should or should not be, based on patterns and perceptions often developed from infancy? Join us for a great conversation.
