It’s that time of year again, when diet culture and exercise solely as a means of weight loss are flooding every single platform. I cannot think of a more damaging mindset or approach to fitness and wellness than pushing the idea that there is only one goal when it comes to exercise. In today’s podcast, we’re talking how harmful this mentality is and ways to say NO to diet culture and instead take a new approach to diet and exercise!

For our chakra/ body scan meditation today, I offer you the intention of focus as we move through our chakras today and release tension throughout our body. This meditation is powerful enough on it's own as we move our presence and energy from the external to the internal, becoming aware of what we may be holding onto in our body and working our way through releasing it.

I watched more TV this year than I have ever watched before, thanks quarantine and chill! A review of all of the TV shows I watched in 2020. Some programs were informative, others were just to pass the time, and some watched because everyone was talking about it and ya girl have into peer pressure. Remember Love Is Blind? Yeah, I definitely got caught up in that for a minute! There are some spoilers here so if you’re sensitive about those, be mindful of that. You’ve been warned!

Whether we recognize it or not, we often move through life holding onto negative energy, emotions, thoughts, and feelings which become a weight. That weight removes us from our center and balance and can impact our peace. During our practice today, we meditate with the intention of becoming aware of what we may be holding onto and releasing that weight followed by 5 minutes of journaling to close out our practice.

What a year! In this episode, we’re revisiting and reviewing all of the books that I read, re-read, and I’m still in the process of reading in 2020! This was a unique year in many respects and one of those for me was how much I was able to read! I FINALLY embraced audio/ e-books and for the first time in years I was able to stick to my one book a month promise I made to myself. Let’s review all of these books!

So often, we move through our day addressing the needs of others and responding to everything we are called. For our meditation this Wellthy Wednesday, I offer you the intention of making time to show up for you, to take what you need when you need it, and make time for you. Wellthy Wednesdays are moment for us to take a break from the busy world around us and come together here on SashaSpins for 5 to 10 minutes of meditation allowing us to get centered and bring balance or a few necessary moments of stillness to our day.

How many times has someone been caught using racist language only for them to cry ignorant when called out? Noah Cyrus has recently found herself on the receiving end of backlash and being called out after for using racially insensitive and racist word, “nappy”, to take a swipe at Candace Owens only to fall back on the excuse she “didn’t know” what the word meant and the context it was used in. She isn’t the first person to do this, won’t be the last. In today’s episode, we’re talking about why ignorance is not an acceptable excuse and why “I didn’t know” is NO LONGER grounds to give people a pass to remain in the lap of ignorant luxury.
