This is a little casual update on why I haven't put out any episodes recently.

To anyone feeling like this I'm sending love and light and a thousand hugs your way. You are loved and I hope we both seek and find the support we need in this dark space. 

In this episode we discuss Tawonga's journey with grief and how she has been navigating grief, not just as an emotion but also all the changes that come with it. We talk about learning how to navigate faith and the pain of loss with God.

"I have been in this state of both losing and finding myself at the same time. I am mourning old versions of myself while celebrating these new versions and chapters of myself that are coming in. And it's happening simultaneously." Bri Hall

As beings who are ever evolving, have you ever found yourself grieving a past or multiple versions of who you once were? In this episode I share a little bit of my journey with this and how giving this season of grief I was in, a name, helped me acknowledge and accept that being a different person was and is okay. Grieving who you once were is okay and we should allow ourselves to go through those emotions without stifling and missing out on all we are in this moment. Cause we are still deeply loved and deeply valued. Sending love and light. 

Join me as I discuss my opinion on manifestation and the law of attraction. Please share your thoughts with me.

In today’s episode I talk about community and the division that is now plaguing humanity. What do think can be done to cultivate healthy diverse communities within our cities?

Hustle culture is "a prevalent mindset that overworking yourself is the only way to succeed."

 In this episode I talk about the dangers of a “hustle til drop” approach to life and how we can actually begin to live in every moment of our lives regardless of where we are (financially, corporately, etc). I talk about cultivating harmony in various areas of our lives and how that may look different for different people.

 What are your thoughts on hustle culture? 

DISCLAIMER: Any decision to take any form of medication (increase or decrease of current dosage) should be consulted with a qualified doctor/psychiatrist. My journey with antidepressants have been made with qualified pyschaitrists. Every illness and the response people have to the treatment is different for everyone. Therefore, you may relate to this but ultimately there will be differences in the details of our journeys.  

I share my journey with depression with the hope that it can resonate with someone and give you the courage to share and own yours. Our stories may be different but we are all connected. I know how it feels to be in a space where you feel misunderstood, unseen and unheard. I hope this brings a little bit of light and warmth to those spaces.

 I hope we can cultivate safe spaces in which people can have the courage to share their struggles, knowing that they will finally be seen. At  the end of the day I want you to know that you are seen. I see you, God sees you. Follow my socials @katianalivata on both Instagram nd Facebook for more information on where to get support. Sending love and light.
