Most of us were warned about drugs in elementary school through the D.A.R.E program (Drug Abuse Resistance Programs), which in a nustshell told us don’t take drugs or you’ll die. But somehow we were still curious and it’s estimated that 47% of young people use an illegal drug by the time they graduate high school and among Americans 31.9 million are current illegal drug users. So why do we do drugs when we know about the harmful effects they have — addiction, criminal offenses, diseases, and even death? What is wrong with us?
On this episode I am joined by Blunt Talk Girls who are outspoken, blunt, have no filter, and have something to say about all of the things that society tells us to be quiet about. They are bridging the gap between cool and important. Let’s talk drugs!

I’ve been very open about my therapy journey because I grew up in an environment where therapy was for "pussies" or crazy people.
Well call me crazy as hell because therapy definitely opened up so much space for healing in me and I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again ... okay let me stop lying, I’ve said it HELLA TIMES and I’ll say it again ...
GO DEAL WITH YOUR SHIT!
But first, how do you know if you even really need therapy?
On this week's episode we're talking therapy .. AGAIN. But hear me out! This time I brought my good sis, Chyna Teaira, a certified therapist with years of experience in not only therapy, but spiritual healing, poetry, music, spiritual coaching, acting, sound healing, and yoga, to read us about our lack of knowledge about therapy, therapist, and healing. And also how addressing our own shit can help us flourish and live out our dreams! She is the owner of Preserving Peace a holistic wellness service centered around cultivating safe and loving spaces for Kem-Unity, basically a force to be reckoned with and I had to get her on the podcast to walk us through the mind of a therapist!

In the process of preparing for this yoga retreat I asked myself what is most message is most important? What is it that I am really here to do? What things are non-negotiable? What is the content and structure that I am sharing?
It sounds like a lot to figure out, but actually it was clear, simple, and easy. No confusion. No hard brain work required.
The most important part of teaching or sharing ... YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN PRACTICE! You should be an embodiment of what you are sharing. This way, there is no conflict with what you are offering. No confusion because you are sharing a part of your own Life.
I start off with a disclaimer at the beginning of the retreat. A set of clear intentions and values. It’s a bit bold. It’s straightforward, but it honest. We don’t have much time here on this planet. Life goes by quickly. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time!

Let’s be real, most of us have spent a lot of our time gossiping or discussing our likes and dislikes of others. But why? What makes us judge others and how do we stop it?
During my time in Tanzania, in a little village called Makunduchi I remembered the knowingness of non-judgement and perspective.
May we grant others the compassion to express their perspectives with non-judgement. May we be able to accept each other. May we be able to see from each others perspectives. May we be able to acknowledge that our own perspectives are only ours.
