132: The Courage to Fight for Our Freedom with Kate Nielson, Robin Kagan, and Jim Case

In today's episode, we discuss releasing old unnecessary beliefs, stuck-ness, and resistance, and creating equal opportunity for all human beings to thrive. We explore:

- The greatest challenge women face today both at home and in the workplace

- Why pay equity and the pay gap is even still an issue today and what we can do about it

- Why many women gravitate toward college majors that prepare them for lower-paying fields

- Specific policy measures AAUW supports for all women to achieve economic self-sufficiency

- How fear is used to manipulate, influence, and control much of what we think, feel, and do

- Why fear is a choice and we have the ability to choose how we react or respond in life

- Exploring how radically our lives can change when fear is no longer a controlling factor

- How fear works and integrates into our experience and how to identify our fear story

- Learning to move from a fear-based experience to an opportunity-based experience

- The impact of resistance and the importance of understanding it and surrendering to it

- Busting the illusions about meditation and developing an effective daily practice
