2020 was a hot mess. Phew. Y'all didn't need us to say it. Together, we talk more together about the lessons we learned from our third year of medical school/research year and our wellness strategies in the midst of this crazy year while working in the hospital daily and doing research. We delve deeper into what surprised us about the field of medicine, how we've been able to take care of patients through drawing on our unique life experiences/backgrounds/strengths, and how we've maintained a sense of groundedness and community in the midst of so much individual and collective trauma. Lots to look forward to in 2021 and we're so thankful to y'all for being on this journey with us! Stay woke y'all.

We are so excited to interview beloved community healer and warrior Chanel Durley, founder of 33rd and RiSING, a wellness space that provides healing for Black, Indigenous, and POC communities in the Bay Area and beyond. In this episode, we talk about Chanel’s experiences with Crohn’s in which she experienced racism and deep injustice and inequity in multiple encounters and 11 hospitalizations in the medical system. We also converse more about the toxicity of grind mentality and its roots in trauma and how her experiences as an intuitive healer came into her founding of 33rd & RiSING. Takeaways we love: -Who told us to stop believing in the wisdom of our bodies? -Going into doctor’s visits as interviews and seeing yourself as deserving of building your healthcare team. “These are my goals; this is the life I want to live: Are you with me?” -“You don’t validate me. I validate me.” -How are you unwinding? How are you unplugging from the matrix? For more info about Chanel and 33rd & RiSING: https://www.33rising.com/ https://www.instagram.com/33rdandrising/
