Episode 7-How Nurses can Use Mindfulness to Unpack White Privilege

In episode 7 of the Transform Nursing podcast, we are listening to Jayne Peterson.  Jayne is a board certified  Integrative Nurse Coach with 35 years of nursing experience and is an accredited 5Rhythms teacher.  She specializes in promoting health and healing through embodied movement, imagery, and mindfulness in ways that are gentle and invite a sense of exploration and play.

When Jayne found herself triggered and defensive by an African American nurse who had been writing about issues around white privilege she realized she had some "stuff" to unpack. ,She started taking an 8 week course about white privilege taught at her church and began to see the herself in the world very differently.  

Takeaways from this episode:

• Mindfulness enhances self-awareness and you are in relation to the work of social justice and equity
• Serving our healthcare systems means serving the people who are providing care
• Make learning about social justice non-negotiable.
