Milica Spiric on Feminism, Self-exploration, and Music as Healing
In this episode of “D Sustainability Issue” Dessie welcomes Milica Spiric.
Mili and Dessie talk about diversity, inclusion, working cultures, overcoming bias, and feminism. About learning about yourself from communicating with others and thus learning about others. They discuss concepts such as the stereotype threat - the perception that women are not good with numbers etc. that leads to “male dominated industries”, and motherhood penalty, or the decrease in salary for a woman after giving birth. They also address toxic masculinity, and on the other hand the rise of the feminine, that is bringing wealth and health on every level, including an increase in GDP in women-lead countries.
Mili speaks about how singing represents a healing mechanism for her - when going through sad times, grief and pain, and a mechanism to connect to herself and others as well.
We forget to create for the sake of creating.
Mili mentions other practices that have helped her grow and heal - meditation, hypnosis, reading, tarot reading. She also speaks about the importance of standing for yourself and leaning on your values when it comes to important decisions in your life. About being gentle with yourself, and listening to yourself, as well as to your body.
For the whole conversation, tune in to the episode.
