June 22, 2020 22: 10 Ways to reduce stress & calm down
Hey everyone, things on the pod have be different lately and I have not been posting my ~usual~ content or as much as I used to. My problems and episode topics are completely irrelevant to what is going on in the world right now. I have taken this time to educate, learn, listen, sign, donate and support others around me. I think it is extremely important to allow ourselves to practice self care to keep our mental state in check so we are able to keep supporting one another and keep our foot on the gas with this movement. For this week I am sharing 10 simple and easy ways to reduce stress and calm yourself down.
Stay safe & healthy X

June 15, 2020 21: 10 Minute Guided Meditation
Hey everyone, things on the pod have be different lately and I have not been posting my ~usual~ content or as much as I used to. My problems and episode topics are completely irrelevant to what is going on in the world right now. I have taken this time to educate, learn, listen, sign, donate and support others around me. I think it is extremely important to allow ourselves to practice self care to keep our mental state in check so we are able to keep supporting one another and keep our foot on the gas with this movement. This week I wanted to try something completely different and lead a guided body scan meditation. This is my first time doing this so it is completely trial and error but with the goal of relaxation and to destress.
This is short so please take time after to look into these resources, read, research, listen, and educate yourself.
Lastly, please support black hosted podcasts, media, authors, business owners, activists, etc.
Thank you to my dear friend Carly for inspiring me with this <3
Stay SAFE ! SO MUCH LOVE X
*Body Scan - The body scan is one of the most effective ways to begin a mindfulness meditation practice. The purpose is to tune in to your body—to reconnect to your physical self—and notice any sensations you’re feeling without judgement. via helpguide.org

I understand that this is not my time to speak and it is not the time to listen to a 22 year old white woman. I have a platform to speak on, it might not be to many but sometimes all you need is a few to make a difference. I speak of recognizing my privilege, sharing my resources, what I have learned and acknowledging my past of not being a good ally. This is short so please take time after to look into these resources, read, research, listen, and educate yourself.
Lastly, please support black hosted podcasts, media, authors, business owners, activists, etc.
