This episode is me speaking honestly about what it feels like to live as a woman of color in the United States right now. I’m sharing reflections after our recent retreats and naming the real emotional and nervous system toll that ongoing political attacks on immigrant communities are having on us.

I talk about why pretending things are fine is not helping anyone and why naming what’s happening matters. This episode is about how we stay regulated, connected, and supported so we don’t burn out or disconnect while everything feels heavy.

I talked about:

• The emotional weight many women of color are carrying right now
• How political decisions are directly impacting immigrants and small business owners
• Why community and embodiment are not optional if we want to stay resilient
• What I witnessed during the Mastermind and Restore & Reclaim retreats

In this episode,  I give you five tools I’ve been using and teaching to get through this moment. These are not mindset hacks or bypassing strategies. They’re practical ways to support the body and nervous system so we can keep showing up.

The 5 Tools I Shared:

1. Naming that we are under attack and telling the truth about what’s happening instead of bypassing it
2. Stating what you’re feeling and allowing yourself to name it honestly
3. Writing down and sharing what you’re feeling so it doesn’t stay trapped in your body or mind
4. Doubling down on what’s already working and supporting you, without adding more effort or pressure
5. Being in community with your people, consciously and gently, by choosing spaces that feel aligned, safe, and supportive

This episode is a reminder that care, connection, and rest are not luxuries. They’re how we survive, stay present, and continue doing the work that matters.
