Restora the Podcast: Become Magnetic & Manifest Your Desires

Here's my take on manifestation... what it is, how to do it and my favorite methods to make it happen. A lot of people are mistaken when they think of manifestation as some woo-woo magical BS. While I do believe it's magical, it also takes hard work. The truth is that the magic behind manifestation is you and your mindset. When we manifest something, we're taking an abstract thought or idea and making it real. It's as simple as that!

Yummy! What feels good to you? What gives you pleasure? This week we're decolonizing what it means to feel good--like really good. In a world that pushes us to go-go-go and constantly produce, sometimes we need to take a moment to stop and smell the roses. Pleasure is all about slowing down, resting and receiving. And it's just about the most radical thing a melanated queen can experience.

What the hell is a sun-moon-rising? This week I'm breaking down one of my favorite topics of all time--astrology! I like to think of our natal charts as a tool that helps us discover all the different sides of ourselves so that we can work on our shit and live up to our highest potential. In addition to being able to understand why individuals are the way that they are, we can also use astrology as a tool to help us understand the collective. Astrology has been essential for me in understanding that even though each of us are unique individuals, there's a little bit of you in me and a little bit of me in you. That's the beauty of oneness, babe :)

Yaz is back! After taking some time to reflect on the direction of Melanated Philosophy, I realized how important it is for us to unlearn and set down the struggle stories--narratives like "we have to work twice as hard to earn half as much" are not helpful on our paths to abundance and freedom. In fact, it was these narratives that slowed me down and hindered me from making more content for y'all. Let's set down these struggle stories so that we can start to focus on how worthy and valuable we really are.

If given the opportunity by Morpheus, would you take the red pill (escaping the matrix to discover what reality really is) or the blue pill (blissful ignorance and living the rest of your life like that one Spongebob meme)? Today, Yaz breaks down what her perception of the matrix is, what it needs to function and how to escape it--if you even want to escape it! Short answer: we can escape the matrix by creating ecosystems and new agreements within our community. Featuring some wise words from adrienne marie brown, author of Emergent Strategy and Pleasure Activism, and the beloved Nina Simone.
