Thereโ€™s nothing to fear but fear itself.

Spike Lee as โ€œHalf-Pintโ€ in the cult classic โ€œSchool Dazeโ€

๐‘ผ๐‘ต๐’๐’†๐’‚๐’“๐’๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ and ๐‘ซ๐‘ฌ๐’‘๐’“๐’๐’ˆ๐’“๐’‚๐’Ž๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ is more than about race, gender and capitalism. It is about peeling back EVERYTHING you were ever taught to be and every way you were ๐’•๐’๐’๐’… to show up in the world. Why because it was likely taught through the lens of a racist white man...


Your soul began losing its identity beginning with your parents forcing you to sit at the table and eat as a child. Crazy right?! But itโ€™s true. We have to get back to how our soul craves to exist before college, before sports, before schooling, before being told you canโ€™t play in the dirt. Can you imagine what you would look like now if could have just gone about life freely? Like without expectation and meaningless rules?


Itโ€™s hard to imagine isnโ€™t it?



Well if you want to heal truly, then start by rejecting anything that doesnโ€™t speak to your SOUL. Itโ€™s not easy because the traumatized self is louder but just get really quiet and start asking yourself does this feel good to my soul and if not what can I do to help myself out of or into a better space. You may cry and you may resist because it may cause REAL shifts in your reality but isnโ€™t your soul worth living in ๐‘ซ๐’Š๐’—๐’Š๐’๐’† ๐‘ป๐’“๐’–๐’•๐’‰?


This time in our lives is about ๐’–๐’”, as individual beings. If you didnโ€™t have time to do the work on you Mother Nature just did you a solid so go ahead and start it now. Take the drivers seat and save your own life, you have the time to do so until ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ. This is literally our โ€œgrace periodโ€ to do better by ourselves. And if the pot gets too hot, phone a friend. Thatโ€™s what they are there for or even better call your therapist.

"I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship." --Louisa May Alcott

One thing for sure is we will all look different on the other side of this but its up to you to determine the ๐’˜๐’‰๐’ that will be you.

My favorite herbs to lean on to help in times of self-doubt and fear are


ALWAYS CHECK CONTRAINDICATIONS BEFORE STARTING AN HERBAL REGIME. SOME HERBS ARE NOT SAFE FOR CHILDRE, PREGANANCY AND OTHER HEALTH CONDITIONS.



Take care of yourselves.
