Hello, Pretty Souls! Today’s long awaited episode is a raw, candid conversation all about healing the root of racism in America.
In this episode, Jhéani shares passionately from both a relational & big-picture perspective on what she feels white people need to under regarding racism.
She goes in depth into the harm of White Fragility, white people being disconnected from Nature & their feminine energy, cognitive dissonance and how all of these things combined have kept racism and white supremacy alive and well in our society.
Jhéani is joined by guest Michelle Yasmin Smith who is a speaker, activator, reiki master, embodiment priestess, and founder of The Rising Healer Sisterhood.
Forever a student of life, Michelle is known for her heart-centered approach to holding space for personal transformation.
Michelle helps coaches, healers, visionaries, artists and creatives from all over the world upgrade and expand their energy, activate their divine power, master their mindset, and transform their lives.
Through Pretty Soul, Michelle found Jhéani & wanted to hold space as a white woman for a conversation around race in her community, and in doing so it was recorded for your enjoyment!
As a white person, this is not necessarily going to be the easiest episode to listen to per se, but it’s necessary at this time and it is the TRUTH that will set you free!
So listen with an open heart, mind and engaged consciousness so we can hopefully begin to move forward collectively & create a world we all love & are proud of!

Michelle also wants to add: “I am not an educator of racism & the incredibly vast amount of systematic, intentionally designed oppression that has resulted from it. I am a healer. I know the nervous system. I know somatic healing. I know ancestral healing. I know my lane: help us all unearth, reveal, and clear the programs of oppression that we grew up breathing in the air around us.”
