The Sugar Jar Podcast

In this episode of the podcast, I talk about longing for things and how it can impact our healing. We all have something that we think about, something that we desire, and I talk about whether we are ever able to let go of those desires and if we do/don't, how we can heal or make peace with them.

"Sometimes we have fear around sharing our longing or acknowledging our longing because we have this fear that it might be seen as jealousy." - Yasmine

A true pioneer in the wellness and healing space, we talk about healing, discuss maternal care, doula work throughout all of the different spectrums that women experience, and the disparities in care for black and brown people in comparison to non-black people.
