  • Wellthy Wednesday - 10 Min Be Kind to Yourself

    Take some time out of your day to show yourself some kindness. What would happen if the kindness and empathy we so freely give to others we showed to ourselves? No journaling for today's meditation, just you and an open heart ready to show yourself love and kindness.

  • Thoughts on Sheryl Underwood, Sharon Osbourne & Being Black in the Workplace
    It’s nothing new that white privilege runs rampant in many spaces including work environments which makes them very toxic environments for Black people and BIPOC however it’s very rare to witness as explicit of an example as we did last week. On March 11, 2021’s episode of The Talk, Sharon Osbourne thought it was a good idea to cuss out and verbally berate her coworker Sheryl Underwood on national television. The show is currently on hiatus pending an investigation but if the shoe had been on the other foot and Sheryl Underwood as a black woman did the same thing Sharon Osbourne did, there would be no investigation. Underwood would have lost her job. Nearly every Black person in the work place has a story involving a coworker of this nature. I know I do. Let’s talk about!

  • Wealthy Wednesday - Self Talk

    Our self-talk is comprised of our inner thoughts and the messages we tell ourselves. If you exist in a scarcity mentality, those thoughts can often be limiting, negative, and hyper critical. This meditation and journaling is an opportunity for us to become keenly aware of our self-talk and shift it from the negative to the positive, one breath at a time.

  • Thoughts on “Soul” - Are You Waiting for Your Big Moment?
    I watched Soul (there may be some spoilers so if you’re emotional about spoilers, don’t listen to this just yet) and whew chiiiiile, Disney & Pixar unloaded the clip on me and my emotions with this one! Talk about a movie that really makes you think about your life and whether you’re really living or just going through life, waiting for a “big moment” to kickstart your life. If that’s you, or you just watched the movie and felt ALL the emotions, let’s talk about it!

  • Thoughts on the Power of Affirmations

    Affirmations may sound very woo but they are exceptionally powerful. We can literally change our life with affirmations and positive thinking. I've seen this change in my own life and would encourage everyone to establish an affirmation practice, like yesterday! Listen more to learn about affirmations, what they are, how to use them, and how to establish a practice of your own.

  • Wellthy Wednesday - Clearing Out Negative Thoughts Meditation

    80% of our thoughts on a daily basis are negative. They are so pervasive we may not be cognizant of them however in the times we are dealing directly with negativity, this meditation and the breath we practice during the mediation can help clear away those negative thoughts and energy. There is a brief journaling portion after the meditation if you would like to reflect on anything that came up for you during the meditation.

  • Thoughts on 40 Days of Self-Care & Love: Boundaries
    I recently posted a few pieces of content about boundaries on Instagram and TikTok that seemed to resonate and align with a lot of people and receive so much feedback and questions. Usually when that happens, that’s a sign that it’s time to have a deeper conversation so we’re talking about it here on SashaSpins! Where does the 40 days come in? We’ve entered the season of Lent and while this is a Christian holiday, I wanted to invite others in and spend my Lent helping others along the way on their journey of self-care and self-love.

  • Thoughts on DEI & Representation, Tokenism, and Being the Change
    Oh wow, say that five times fast! When we talk about diversity, representation, inclusion, and equity, these are terms that people sometimes use interchangeably but they have distinct and impactful different meanings and outcomes. For example, just because diversity and representation is present in an organization or environment, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is inclusive or equitable. Diversity and representation without equity and inclusion amounts to tokenism and if you see this in your spaces, it’s time to act. Let’s talk about it!

  • Wellthy Wednesday - 10 Min Self-Talk Meditation

    Our thoughts become our actions which manifest in how we talk to an treat ourselves, how we allow ourselves to be treated, and ultimately how we treat others. It all starts with self-talk which is the messages we tell ourselves. These messages are the soundtrack to and of our lives. Of the thousands of thoughts we think each day, 80% of them are negative. During our meditation today, we reflect on this negative self-talk and how we can ultimately change the messages we are sending ourselves because we are worthy of joy, love, and good things.
