Kim Saira on the Power of Owning Your “Sacred Rage”
This month on the Twelfth House, we’re hanging it all out, as we riff on the idea of being seen. Whether it’s showing up on social as our multidimensional, squiggly brained selves, or pivoting our businesses entirely to align with our future visions of what’s possible.
Today our guest is Kim Saira. Kim Saira is a movement healer, breathwork and joy coach, and community care activist.

Being a woman of color in predominantly white wellness spaces and what it means to honor your sacred rage
Overcoming burnout as an activist and creating new boundaries in order to return to your work
What is sacred anger? How Kim schedules time to connect with and feel her sacred anger

“It’s really never about me, it’s always been about serving other people.”
“This balance between selfish to be selfless is really knowing that if I do not fill my own cup up, the way that I’m going to speak and act to other people will literally come from not compassion, but maybe from comparison, from feeling like the way I show for my community will be judgment, versus compassion.”
“The heart doesn’t live in the thinking mind. The heart lives in compassion, wisdom, love, and understanding. How do we activate that? We need to feel that for ourselves first.”
“I love connecting with people on social media. It’s just something I love to do. And I have to remind myself that in this human body, in this human journey, I’m not a title. I’m not a role. I’m not a job. I’m a coach. But I’m more than that. We’re all multi dimensional.”
“We need to be okay with everybody’s anger, especially women, and especially women of color, of any kind. I feel like we need to make space for that anger and rage, and be able to sit with it and hold it and be there.”
“People of color are angry and they should be, why wouldn’t they be? And there is absolutely a sacredness to that, that we have to hold and also harness.”
