Today is our first episode of Books Chats and Chill episode, where I unpack books alongside Omphile (from Bookamoso). On today's episode we are unpacking the book What Happened to you by Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah Winfrey

The book highlights the importance of acknowledging and addressing what happened to us in order to understand the role it plays in explaining our behavioral patterns and to restore ones humanity. Essentially to move away from "what’s wrong with you" to engage "what happened to you" conversations.

There was no book review submitted for this book, we are still inviting you to submit yours for our next books lined up for this series. You can send us a voice note on the link below or share them via DM or email.

Do enjoy listening to this episode and remember to share your review.

There's a thin line between self-care and self sabotage. But do we always see it when what regard as self-care is actually self-soothing or numbing ourselves. I had an interesting conversation with my husband that sparked the interest to relook at how I define self-care and what is self-care really.

This is what I unpack on today's episode.

Do you ever doubt that you can make the right decisions for yourself?

Sis, I used to. In the earliest days of my relationship with my husband I leaned on him a lot to make most of the decisions, even more, to help me with my own. I didn't trust that I was capable of making the right decisions for myself neither did I believe that I was capable of fulfilling the promises I made to myself

Over the past years I've allowed myself to make those decisions even if they don't turn out the way I had desired but to also keep record when they do. This helped gain confidence in myself and trust that I can make my own decisions, and that a poor outcome didn't mean I was bad at making my own decisions. Self-trust is not saying you know all the answers, nor is it believing that you will always get it right. It’s knowing that despite the outcome you got you, you got your support and respect still.

What's good is that we can begin to trust ourselves again. On today's episode I share about self-trust - what breaks self-trust and how to nurture it.

I hope you do enjoy this episode.

Thank you for deciding to spend your time here.

How to cultivate self acceptance and How will it benefit you

The journey to self-acceptance does not happen overnight. Learning to be okay with all of you can be hard at times, but with practice, patience and being deliberate about it you can learn the art of self-acceptance. 

On today's episode I share my own personal experience with self-acceptance, how denying yourself of that can hinder you from leaving in peace with yourself and where you can start with your journey of self-acceptance. 

Once we find peace within ourselves we engage the world from a different stand point that is nourishing and content.

I hope you do enjoy this episode.

Thank you for deciding to spend your time here.

What would you allow yourself to do if you loosened the idea you have about yourself, and still held your life as important?

Imagine the freedom that this would give you, to explore your whole self. This is one of the ways that you could come to knowing yourself better this year. Releasing yourself from the idea you have derived about yourself, and going for the thing you have not allowed yourself to explore about yourself.

Sometimes the ideas we hold about ourselves can be the thing that is standing on our way to experiencing our wholeness. But allowing yourself to do the uncomfortable thing that resonates with you or the thing that has always felt like the right thing to do can be the thing that will bring you closer to your true self.

On today's episode I share some of the ways we may be standing on our way to to living as our highest self and from experiencing our full self while being attached to the ideas we have about ourselves. I share my personal experience and my one word for the year that aligns with how I want to feel this year and step out of the idea I hold about self.

I hope you do enjoy this episode.

As the year comes to end, what are you finding in your life to be grateful for?

My intentions with this meditation is to help you see gratitude different, to find the countless things to be grateful for in your life if you are struggling with finding any or more. This meditation is for cultivating gratitude and therefore abundance.

This is the final episode for Season 2. It’s also the last of the holiday special meditation episodes.

I am finding a lot to be grateful in my life, but I also want to express my gratitude to you for showing up here for yourself first. If there’s anything I am grateful for now is the support I have received from every one of you, everyone who listened and engaged, I appreciate you deeply. Thank you for you choosing to heal yourself therefore the collective, thank you for showing up for yourself the way you did this year.

Thank you for tuning in and for listening.

This 12 minutes long guided meditations will help you with setting and honouring your boundaries, and believe that you are worthy of enjoy this holiday with so much love and peace

Boundaries may sound isolating, the word itself sounds like you are closing everyone out, you are building this big wall and no one can have access to you and by doing so you will lose people. We are socialized to be always be accessible, to be selfless and to be polite. So showing up for yourself in this new way and setting boundaries for the first time will sure be terrifying, especially when we fear that we will lose people by doing so.  

This holiday season a lot might come up, a lot might be triggered, and lines might be crossed. But remember this your energy is currency, just like time they are your resources and you have the freedom to claw back your resources when they are abused or you need them for yourself. Boundaries are a language of self-love. Those who value your relationship with them will respect them for you and those who fail to honour them were benefiting from you not having boundaries.
