S3 | Ep4: Shifting Identities with John Shank

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with John Shank, who once embodied all 18 normalized dominant identities—but no longer does.

In this episode, we explore how identities shift over time, often bringing feelings of anger, loss, and the need to adapt. These changes provide unique insights into the lifelong adaptability required by those with non-dominant identities. Together, we’ll discuss how to create space for others—free of judgment—and recognize the ways people navigate the evolution of their identities.

 

What to listen for:

• What happens when your normalized dominant identities begin to shift
• Why identity changes can feel more challenging for those who’ve predominantly held normalized dominant identities
• A 4-step tool to process complex emotions (first introduced in Season 1, Episode 5)
