Ever wondered about the transformative power of restorative justice over punishment? Sah is joined by Lara Love Hardin, author of “The Many Lives of Mama Love,” to discuss topics such as incarceration, restorative justice, addiction, and coping with grief. Lara shares her personal experiences of going to jail, the impact it had on her life, and the need for trauma-responsive care in the prison system. They chat about… 1. The profound impact of incarceration on individuals, families, and communities, stressing the need for trauma-responsive care and support. 2. Restorative justice, emphasizing healing and rehabilitation over punishment, while addressing the root causes of crime like trauma and addiction. 3. Addiction as a symptom of deeper emotional pain and trauma, and the importance of providing tools and support for recovery. 4. Grief and loss, highlighting the importance of self-compassion and seeking support during the grieving process. 5. Creating community and connection for healing and growth, emphasizing trust, understanding, and empathy in relationships. 6. The toxicity of shame, likening it to heroin, and the necessity of active processing and transformation. 7. Sharing stories of shame in supportive communities, recognizing its role in healing and dismantling shame narratives. Lara Love Hardin is the President and Founder of True Literary.
