Welcome to the very first episode of It's Not You, It's the System! This is a podcast from Lauren Kay Roberts, an anticapitalist, trauma-certified coach and recovering political staffer (that's me!).

I want It's Not You, It's the System to be a space to for you to stop blaming and shaming yourself for your struggles -- because the truth is, we're all swimming in toxic systems that impact us on every level.

I'm talking about systems like capitalism, cisheteropatriarchy, white supremacy, ableism, family patterns, generational trauma, and many more that play out in relationships, workplaces, the economy, the government, and even our bodies.

Remember: you are NOT flawed, defective, or broken, my friend.

Yes, you can totally take action to heal, grow, and show up with more integrity...but please stop trying to "fix" or "improve" yourself, okay?

Let's get your messy family stuff and internalized oppression out of your way so that you can make the impact you're here for!

It would mean the world to me if you'd subscribe, rate, and review the podcast wherever you listen.

Better yet, share this episode with a friend!
