M.A.D. Gyal Musings is a #mindbeingwellness—holistic health, mental wellbeing—and commentary space. M.A.D. means mentally aligned with divinity, so I take a candid approach to exploring mental health + varied social issues.
It also aims to deconstruct and reclaim the ‘mad gal’ moniker women are often stereotyped with.
Each episode ends with awesome music, another of my passions, INjoy!

In this episode I share a message that came through very strongly from spirit for you as the ultimate mind-being wellness goal for 2021 — to get back to self and focus on building mental strength/discipline by cultivating healthier habits, making necessary shifts and eliminating what no longer serves us. You always know what you need to do to be your best self and show up authentically in the world, now's the time to execute that...

MindBeingWellness (mental health) tips for the Coronavirus pandemic
In my second official episode, I'm sharing practical tips, curated from experts and some of my own, on how to take care of your mental health in light of the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. I hope you find them useful and valuable.
If you do, please share this with someone, like it, rate it, leave me a comment. You can also e-mail me (tami@tsansai.com) and follow me on social media at @tamitsansai.
I also forgot to include the two songs for today. The first of which represents the cut and clear, 'destroy to rebuild better' Oya energy I mentioned earlier. Oya, by Ibeyi. Incidentally, Oya is the Orisha I most identify with. Play the song here: https://youtu.be/lHRAPIwsS5I
The other is incredibly soothing. It's The Waves We Give by Beautiful Chorus ft a Bruce Lee quote. I always find it so helpful when it feels like everything is falling apart. Stream it here: https://youtu.be/654sikYivck
Seneko kakona [abundant blessings] and see you next week!
