I Will Not Internalize Others’ “Work” As My Own (w/ Brittany Janay)

“They are not my work.” It might sound harsh on the surface… and in this week’s episode, Brittany Janay affirms how clarity and being able to track others’ “work,” unresolved traumas, unhealed forms of injected white supremacy helps her create healthy boundaries in conflict and disagreement. We should not internalize other folks’ work (internalized perfectionism, scarcity mindset, respectability) as deficiency in us. Brittany reminds us that we can be loving, gracious and invested in those of whom we’re in relationship and be very clear, particularly in conflict and disagreement, when their own “work” is beyond our capacity to change.
