Bullshitador Collective: come with your rage, leave with a plan
Bullshitadors make the invisible visible and the impossible possible. We harness the fires around us to stoke the flames within us.
From the personal to political and local to global, I'm hearing a lot of overwhelm from the women in my life. Between caring for children, aging parents, maintaining jobs during the rise of AI, navigating mid-life marriages and lagging hormones and a climate that has entered a point of no return, most women are wondering what they're expected to do and if it's too late to be part of the change that's necessary.
I think we can inject some rage and action into this moment. But we can’t do it alone, and we can’t do it unless we name what’s going on within the context of racism, sexism and the extractive structures of domination and hierarchy.
In this one hour session, everyone will have an opportunity to share personal and systemic bs, highlight the resources we already have to create change, and establish next steps toward a different future. When our anger, grief and frustration is spoken out loud, and heard by others who are also seeing and experiencing systemic oppression and collapse, we gain clarity and resolve to create a different future.
You will leave this hour with community, more stamina, and the knowledge that you have everything you need to make a change today for a different future. It's a bit of a release valve for everything that's going on ... come with your grief and rage, leave with a plan.

Why Bullshitador, why now?
I’m hosting this free session because:
I'm exhausted and fed up with the loop of doom that escalates fear and overwhelm to the point of inaction.
I know that when we come together in community, with purpose and imagination, we create joyful momentum.
I've witnessed how meaningful, sustainable change occurs when we place our fears within a framework of what is, and then fan the flames of possibility.
I’ve experienced the power of women creating change within their circles of influence by implementing shifts for themselves, their families and their communities.
This is my life’s work and I love it! I love reading about systems change, talking about it, and building relationships around it. My favorite people are all bullshitadors who do the hard work of making a difference in the world while being honest about their capacity and the impact of their actions (good and bad); I want to continue expanding that bullshitador energy until the circuit board lights up new pathways.
I'm building The Bullshitador Collective to belong to every single one of you who engages with the power of naming and owning the bullshit around us to build new structures that center life.
