Life Lessons from a Red Bunny: Bodies, Belonging, and the Polemics of Lightness— EEQ • AIQ • SSQ

Описание: Life Lessons from a Red Bunny — Bodies, Belonging, and the Politics of Lightness
(A Change Academy production — voice of Dr Elena Carruba)
What if a small red bunny could teach you more about power than a thousand leadership manuals?

This is not a children’s tale. It is a mirror.

In this 21-minute journey, we explore how bodies become symbols, how difference becomes danger, and how “lightness” is often weaponised against those who do not fit the dominant script. The red bunny is every child who learned early that belonging has conditions. It is every adult who learned to make themselves smaller, quieter, brighter, lighter — just to remain visible.

Through story, psychology, philosophy, and leadership insight, we unpack:

Why exclusion begins in the body before it becomes policy

How power trains us to perform “acceptable” versions of ourselves

The hidden cost of being lovable instead of sovereign

And how reclaiming your weight — emotional, cognitive, ethical — becomes an act of leadership

This episode is for thinkers, leaders, educators, and anyone who has ever felt “too much” or “not enough” in the same room.

By the end, you will not simply understand the red bunny.
You will recognise yourself.
And you will leave with a new posture toward the world: one that no longer begs for lightness, but chooses presence.

If this resonates, like, subscribe, and share it with someone who learned to disappear in order to belong.
