I’M BACK YALL! Over the last 3 weeks, I spent time in Toronto and St. Lucia. I’ll share what I did in Toronto in another podcast because today’s episode is ALL about St. Lucia! Akeem hosted his first ever wellness retreat alongside 2 phenomenal hosts. It was truly a beautiful experience, one so magical that I’ve been struggling to explain just how good it was to others. While we were out there we explored St. Lucia, did a full body detox and ate the best plant-based food I have ever eaten in my life. Downloads are discussed, gems are dropped and we share both of our experiences! www.beyondwellnessretreats.com

Before self-love, there is self-acceptance. Being able to accept the individual that we are and the things we've done can allow us to truly love ourselves. But what exactly does that take? On today's episode, I shared 4 ways to self-acceptance. Of course, I know there's so many more ways but here are 4 that work for me!

Today’s episode is short, informal and an introduction to mental health and mental illness. I’ve been meaning to discuss these topics for a minute now but with everything happening in the news, it was only right to do it now. I briefly touch on the difference between mental illness and mental health, my perspective on the issue and what we can do to help stop the stigma. I will upload a more formal episode by the end of the week! Please feel free to send me questions or leave your thoughts.

This episode explores the attachment we have to labels & how this can be detrimental to our sense of self and identity. Labels can create a sense of belonging and meaning, but what happens when we become so attached and forget who we are at our core. I speak on the influence labels have on us, labels & attachment and what we can do to reclaim our identity and free ourselves from the limits of a label.
**Sidenote: speaking about social media and labels was left out because that topic alone deserves its own episode, stay tuned for that**

My boyfriend and I rarely argue but when we do, it's sets the stage for conversations to be had and eyes to be opened. Today's episode we discuss an argument we had over a year ago & share our own understanding of what had happened. I often find in alot of relationship arguments, we tend to react to past situations and not the present moment, which was what had happened here. Let me know what you think!

This episode I speak on the concept of shifting, which I read about in a book by Charisse Jones and Kumea Gooden. In short, shifting is when we take on a different persona or identity in order to hide our true selves when we are with white people. As a result, we lose our sense of self & wholeness. I share my experience with shifting and what we can do as black women to stay true to who we are but still get the job done!
