Season 1 taught me so much and as we gear up for Season 2, the conversations are getting deeper and transitioning.  Last year, we were told everywhere, whether on social media or in our friend groups to "choose ourselves" - But how? 

As a kinship adoptee, I wanted to understand what that looked like for me when most of my identities were based on my situation not my soul. In this episode, I'll be sharing some notes from the archives and how I processed the action of choosing myself. 

Let's get into the episode. Here's a sneak clip before we start Season 2.

What a ride! 14 episodes...14 episodes! 

Thank you for rocking with me since February 6th, I appreciate ya'll so much. 
So let's dive into the episode and reflect on how we started and where we going. 

Adopted Black Girls are out here and Black Families Adopt Too. We're here and we aren't going anywhere. The system is already crazy and that mental battle is a hard one to navigate after those papers are signed. We have a lot more to talk about, but today, let's reflect so we can continue to go forward. 

See you in the episode!

How do you manage tough conversations with others when you struggle to do it with yourself?

I know all too well. 

I received an email asking how I relate my conflict work with my adoption experience earlier last month and well, here’s my answer. 

A mellow vibe and breathy talks with this episode so thank you for listening! 

See you in the episode!

It’s easy to shut everyone out when you’re feeling low. But how do you find your way back? 

I get it, it can get comfortable in your cocoon but when it’s time for you to need someone, who you gonna call and how are you going to navigate that? 

I broke it down in four steps to how to get started. This in no way replaces seeing a mental health practitioner but this helped me when I just wasn’t ready yet. And I still do it to this day.

See you in the episode!

Can we just be honest with each other? 

Sometimes operating in maintenance and alignment is when tests show up the most. From my brain being clouded to understanding the root of my releases, join me as we talk about preparation, alignment and my current space.
