Self-Care When Experiencing Bias

Being the only person of a particular identity in a team can lead to isolation and stress. This course offers compassionate tools to navigate the mental and emotional toll of underrepresentation, using mindfulness to ground and support a sense of belonging.

Lección 1: Theory: I'm The "Only" In My Team

While mindfulness alone can’t solve the complex and often painful experience of being the 'Only'—whether due to race, gender, identity, or background—it can offer meaningful support. This session explores how mindfulness can help ease internalized stress, foster self-compassion, and create a sense of grounding when navigating feelings of isolation or exclusion in the workplace.

Lección 2: Practice: How To Cope With Being The "Only"

This session guides you through a mindful exploration of how it feels in the body to be the “only” in a group, whether by race, gender, identity, or lived experience. You'll be supported in gently working through the emotional and physical impact of exclusion, helping to release tension, soften negative thoughts, and reconnect with a sense of inner stability and self-worth.
