If love is a feeling and an action, then self love is how we feel and act towards ourselves. Everyone tells us that self love is the key, but no one really tells us how to get to a place where we are the love of our lives. Self love is not always about running yourself a bubble bath and taking yourself on dates. Self love involves setting difficult boundaries with people you love, healing, getting to know our own darkness and relaxing into it and being happy being alone. In this episode I will walk you through what self love looks like spiritually, emotionally and physically.

"We, the quiet people, need to rebel. We need our children to rebel – not necessarily by chanting platitudes or yelling into megaphones. But if we don’t encourage them to demonstrate or protest, then we need to instil the wisest of all our skills in our children: DOUBT. We don’t need the kind of doubt that cripples us into inaction, but the kind that inspires generous thirst for investigation. Doubt is just another word for investigation, the application of intellectual rigour, the wrestle of the mind with difficult concepts, the desire to make the world a better place rather than meekly accept the word of the more fiscally energetic" - A quote from Bruce Pascoe, An Australian Indigenous writer, teacher, farmer and activist, from the Bunurong clan, of the Kulin nation. The above quote is from his Piece in The Guardian "Teach your children to rebel. Teach your children to doubt" published on 1 June 2019.

Spirituality should fuel and empower one's activism because seeing the divinity in each other should urge us to want the best for others. The experience of oneness and unity consciousness should not be an abstract concept experienced only in the fifth dimension, but should instead be anchored firmly into everyone's physical reality and experience.

The UN has declared 2019 as the International Year for Indigenous languages. Next week between 27 May - 3 June 2019 is Reconciliation week in Australia. It's a time for the broader Australian community to reflect on their relationship with First Nations people. What I've been reflecting on is the importance that language reclamation plays in self determination. Language is used to convey thoughts, culture, beliefs, customs, traditions and history. Language is the bridge that connects us to our identity, heritage and ancestry. This week's episode is all about how language is related to self-determination and demands for self-determination at several different levels and in a number of inter-connected ways.

Being an ally to people of color involves a lot of self reflection, self education and listening. It requires one to be grounded in humility, collaboration and accountability. It means knowing and understanding that you are often coming from a position of power and privilege and that this privilege has been gained through unjust systems that continue to marginalise the very groups that you are seeking to be ally for. Privilege can be a powerful tool for either being an ally or for oppression. Be mindful of how you put yours to use.

This week, I am reading out listener's scenarios and questions on whether certain words, behaviours or situations can be perceived as racist. From sliding into DMs and asking if someone would like cream with their coffee; assuming a person can twerk or play basketball; naming your black dog after a black person and why certain people can't use the n word even though some black people still use it! The question of the week is - Yo, Is That Racist? Inspired by the podcast of a similar name!

This week, I discuss the differences between soulmates, twinflames/twinsouls and karmic relationships and the purpose of, and gift behind, each relationship....because everyone wants a twinflame but no one is willing to do the work!

If Karmic relationships were a song - it would be the whole Lemonade album by Beyonce. If Soulmate relationships were a song they would be No one Else Comes Close - Joe Thomas; Believe - Damar Jackson and All I Need to Get by - Method Man and Mary J Blige. If Twinflames were a song, they would be A Thousand Years - Christina Perri; Halo - Beyonce; At Last - Etta James and This Is Why I Love You - Major.
