Hey friend hey! It's been a while, and during my break, I've been focusing on self-care and celebrating my wins in wellness. Today, I want to share a lesson I learned: never get too comfortable in your healing journey. Let's talk about why the super-human narrative hinders us in our wellness journey, and why sustainable wellness practices are the goal. In this quick chat, we will do a self-check in to assess where you've been compromising yourself, and how a gentle reminder can get you back on track no matter how crazy life looks for you right now.

When the Echoes Come
Hey friend hey! In this podcast episode, we begin with a self-check-in and discuss the importance of self-awareness in the self-work journey. In a continued personal reflection of my own trauma history, this chat focuses on how trauma echoes can disrupt our healing journey. Trauma echoes are feelings that arise when we encounter situations that remind us of our past trauma. These feelings can be overwhelming, and we may feel like we're back to the beginning of our healing journey. In this episode, I share my experience of dealing with trauma echoes and the importance of acknowledging our feelings and sitting with them to allow healing to rise and cover old wounds along with some tips on nurturing our mind, heart, and spirit and practicing self-love. The podcast ends with a motivating Lesson I’m Learning segment that will lift your head and give your heart the fire it needs to keep going. Let this episode be a gentle reminder that healing is not a linear process and that it's okay to take the time and space needed to heal.

Black History Month - An Opportunity to Self-Love
Hey friend hey! We are back after an unplanned hiatus but this episode makes up for it! We are starting Black History Month with a frank conversation on why focusing on our mental health this month is underrated way of honoring those that came before us. Mental health hasn’t always been acknowledged in our community and even now the impact of our human experience is invalidated at every turn. This episode we are discussing the history of black mental health care in America and why you should consider this month an opportunity to self-love in ways that are impactful, lead to growth, and that fulfill our ancestors' dreams. It's a different type of Black History Month conversation but a needed one that will inspire you to continue your mental wellness practices with a new level of motivation. Let's dive in.

Why Self Discovery Is Important to Your Mental Wellness Journey
Hey friend hey! This week’s conversation is about the importance of self discovery in your mental wellness journey and let me tell you we get real! The truth is we struggle to recognize ourselves at times. Even though we like to tie our self-worth to our identity, we don’t always make room for investing in our self-discovery. I’ll be sharing why you should change that this year and what benefits you will find when you do. This week’s LIL is good one too! Just so you know, another lesson I learned this week is I struggle to sit still when talking so sorry about the extra noise, I’ll get better I promise! If you are interested in the self discovery journal I talked about in this episode you can check it out here http://bit.ly/3iFxExp

This Episode is for Grace & Gratitude

We are leaning into grace this episode as I talk about a major topic that’s being ignored in our communities and why now is the time to acknowledge what you survived to get to 2023. I also have a mindfulness exercise to help you reflect, release, grow, & heal in this season PLUS a free mini journal you can grab for your wellness work. http://bit.ly/3Xjv1jV
