episode 002 of collectively well enough is here, and it’s the first guest episode with a true angel — in name and in energy.
angel hu (they/them) is a leadership educator, executive coach, and buddhist practitioner who i respect and admire for their soft and strong power — personally, professionally and existentially.
they’re also a caregiver to baby sonny, who makes a special appearance in the background of the first few minutes (consider this your warning and your invitation to let go of perfectionism with us).
we get into a lot:
how the universe conspired with the algorithm to bring us together
angel’s path from organizational psychology research into coaching and group dynamics
what group dynamics actually are, and why they’re so powerful and so polarizing
what it looks like to speak truth to power while staying gentle and real in corporate environments
the most underrepresented part of healing — no, it’s not cold plunges
shadow work, death, and the ongoing path of finding presence
the magic wand that abolishes gender
the revolutionary power of coaching
stick around to the end for a guided loving kindness meditation [1:00:34] from me. it’s an invitation back into connection and compassion for yourself and the collective — including that coworker who you have a hard time with. you can drop in there directly if that’s what you need today.
one of my favorites things about angel is their ability to name collective truths without shying away from the intensity. they don’t separate the personal from the political from the spiritual. the corporate work is the healing work is the collective work. and they live it — at home, at work and in their community.
