As part of our “Archival August,” we are re-releasing episodes from the past that have held specific significance for me recently, as I take some time for personal healing.

Lisa Lackey, is one of the premier therapists in Chicago. And it’s funny, I knew Lisa from afar for a really long time and kind of had put her on a pedestal. Early on, when we were starting to talk, I remember feeling honored that she was interested in connecting with me.

And now she’s somebody who I know that I can go to with absolutely anything and she’s one of the most generous clinicians. I mean, I know a lot of generous clinicians, but for somebody of Lisa’s caliber to be so generous is just truly exceptional.

Lisa identifies as a black woman and she’s been doing a lot of work in the anti-racism realm lately. And we don’t really talk a lot about that in this episode, but the way that she’s combining anti-racism work with empathy and compassion is I think truly what needs to happen in this country overall right now.
