Summary
Presidential Candidate Marianne Williamson joins the podcast today to share what a new political paradigm looks like, in a world of heart-centered leadership.
Williamson first ran for president in the 2020 election, where she was heavily criticized by mainstream media for her emphasis on a return to love in governance. Today, as she is running for office again, she shares her perspective on how our current system is broken and what it would look like to create a brighter future for America.
She opens up about her struggles with the media and the judgement of others, revealing what the future of embodied, feminine leadership looks like. She also shares why it is essential for the spiritual community to step up and take a stand for the collective.
