S10E2 - Embodiment & Joy As Social Justice with India Pierce

Today we’re joined by India Pierce, an Educator and Consultant
who helps others boldly chase joy and improve their equity
practices & organizational culture.


 


India is a guest teacher on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion
& Liberation for our Feminine Embodiment Coaching
Certification - and a fellow entrepreneur who believes embodiment
is freedom work.


 


I spoke with India as part of ‘The Future Is Embodied Conference’
late last year & our conversation was so rich, I thought it
best to open the enclosures & share this conversation more
widely. So today, it’s coming to you on the podcast.


 


In this conversation, we explore:


       How India found embodiment
through religion & the three dimensions of her embodied
living


       Extractive activism &
divine activism - we speak about the different fuels for
movements


       India’s journey back to her
body through experiences of her emerging queer identity &
pregnancy loss


       Why India sees Embodiment
as liberation work


       JOY - Being guided by joy
& why joy is freedom work


       Is it selfish to prioritize
joy? The difference between self-care, joy, collective liberation


       2 practices for coaches,
practitioners & those working in the embodied arts to center
DEI and liberation in their work


Advice - This conversation discusses pregnancy loss 


 


India Pierce is an entrepreneur, educator, and consultant who
helps others boldly chase joy. After over a decade of working
with businesses to improve their equity practices and
organizational culture, she realized that something was sorely
missing from the organizations and daily lives of the business
owners she worked with; you know what that thing was? Joy! That
realization went on to drastically change her work and life.
Dubbing herself a “joy ambassador,” India launched India Pierce
Consulting to encourage people to put the joy back into their
work. She supports organizations in creating joyful and equitable
workplaces where employees thrive and find fulfillment. As well
as, small business owners in building their businesses with their
joy in mind so they can grow their business without sacrificing
their greatest vision for their life. Outside of work, she is
completing her doctorate, enjoys spending time with her family,
binging RomComs, and eating pizza.
