The Muse's Lab

CW: Discussion of topics that include digital and physical violence such as assault and bullying, along with suicide.

I don't usually have commentary on shows I watch; however, there's not enough room on the interwebs to share what I felt and how parts of Megan Thee Stallion's story resonated with my own. Particularly with the themes of grief.

After a week's long exploration of the villain narrative sparked by one of my fave creators on TikTok, I'm sharing my thoughts on what this means and possibly a new approach to my creative practice and life overall.

Baybeee! This one is for the somatic baddies, the holistic healers and those who are on the fence with really diving deep into "the work" that is healing. Such an amazing, eye-opening episode with OG Muse's Lab Community member Evan. In part 1, we discuss types of somatic healing practices that are accessible to everyone and get down to the nitty-gritty as to why most people hesitate to start their healing journey. Stay tuned for part 2.

We're back with part 2 of Astrology as a Tool for Survival. In the second half, Kailyn and I discuss the importance of gatekeeping, as well as the importance of Black spiritual practitioners and upholding indigenous traditions. As a New Orleans native, Kailyn expresses the importance of keeping the metaphorical, and literal, recipes inside the house. And if you've been giving out "cookout" invites, you might wanna opt for a to-go plate.

Thank you for tappin' in.

And we're back! This time I finally got time with my sestra THE Kailyn Davillier, and we're diving in deep to discuss the application of astrology as an observer. In this two-part episode we discuss the importance of understanding your chart and how it relates to the current astrological weather, then using that information as an observer to make informed decisions to navigate our day-to-day.

Enjoy part 1!
