75. Loving Awareness In Action - The Science of Social Justice with Dr. Sará King

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang

If you have a body, you deserve well-being

Dr. Sará King joins us for a special episode. She is a mother, neuroscientist, political and learning scientist, medical anthropologist, social entrepreneur, public speaker, and certified yoga and meditation instructor. She is the Founder of MindHeart Consulting, an NIH postdoctoral fellow in Neurology at Oregon Health Science University (OHSU) in the Oregon Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Neurological Disorders, and she is a core team member of Mobius, a non-profit supporting compassion in technology. She is also the Director of Science and Community Engagement for the Embodied Social Justice Certificate program.

Dr. King shares her own personal journey with adverse childhood experiences, houselessness, and insecurity. She shares how it led her to social justice work and how that melded with her expertise in yoga and mindfulness meditation. We discuss interdependence, trauma and access to healing for diverse populations.

Pearls from our discussion:

Well-being and social justice are one and the same.

Our power is in how we slow down and connect to ourselves.
