After twenty-four years of football and eight seasons with the NFL, Ryan Mundy retired. He could no longer play the game that consumed his life, that filled his entire ecosystem, so much so when he stopped playing, Mundy had to ask himself who he was without it. Who is Ryan Mundy?

After taking stock in his life, Mundy had two paths ahead of him; a career path and a personal path which led him to seek therapy. It was a challenge to find a therapeutic alliance. This experience inspired him to review the resources available to take agency over our health.

Today, Ryan Mundy is the Founder & CEO of Alkeme Health Co. - a digital health company with a mission to become the universal healthcare provider for the Black community.

Sacred earth medicines, some of which are often referred to as psychedelics have shown exciting results as powerful healers of trauma and a deepener for self-discovery. This week, Devi is joined by Charlotte James, co-founder of the Ancestor's Project, a collective that facilitates sacred journey's in service to collective liberation. Devi shares some of her personal experiences with earth medicines and Charlotte shares insight into her shadow work, the need for normalizing these new tools in the mental health conversation, and ways to embark on your own empowered journey.

 

James and her partner Undrea Wright started the Ancestors Project as an outlet for the BIPOC community to reduce harm and expand consciousness with the wisdom of Sacred Earth Medicine.

Announcing your boundaries can oftentimes be interpreted as “selfish” and you’ll most likely be challenged for having them. In this episode, Devi and Angela Rye revisit the post from the Black Love YOU Retreat that went viral last month. Granted the combination of words, “mutually beneficial” may have a connotation that some people internalize due to whatever personal energy is connected to the term. Devi expounds on how she defines it and the importance of genuinely benefiting from any and all interactions and making a positive exchange a priority. The episode continues with a conversation between the two friends about the balance of being spiritual and being pro-black and how they work together.
