Open Share about Life and Body Love

08/31/20 • 12 min

A little bit of a different flavour to this episode of Let Beauty Guide You! Just wanted to openly share why I've been quiet for the past few months and what's been shifting in my life as a result of the times, stuff I'm sure you can relate to as well.
ALSO, I wanted to share that I have created a Signature Program called Body Love. This program is designed to empower you to transform your relationship with your body so that you have access to deep gratitude, love, and appreciation for your body on many levels. The program goes deep and if you'd like to be part of this transformative experience, DM me on Instagram: @niateachtoronto or shoot me an email at [email protected]

Being a Spiritual Ninja Means No Spiritual Bypassing

White folks, this is a conversation calling for us to be better! In this episode, Best Selling author, Janelle Christa, explains what it means to be a Spiritual Ninja. In order to contribute at our greatest capacity, we must face our humanity and deal with the hard stuff. Relating her work to Black Lives Matter, Janelle doubles down on why it's not okay for white people to deny, ignore, or bypass systematic oppression and the pain of BIPOC (in this conversation, specifically Black people). In the context of standing for social justice, yes, self care is important. However, the Black Lives Matter movement is not about the fragile feelings of white people. Protect our energy so we can hold space and contribute? Yes. But we should feel this. We should de-numb ourselves to the pain of all those who are oppressed. It is only by doing the work and getting present to the impact of White Supremacy that we can leverage our privilege to take steps in the right direction.

The Artist's Way

In this episode, Glen Cram, leader of The Artist's Way book club in Toronto (pre-COVID, of course) joins me to discuss the transformational benefits of doing this famous 12-week creative recovery program. You've probably heard of this book by Julia Cameron, right? But have you read it? Better yet, have you actually done the exercises? Between stream of consciousness journaling to connect with Inspiration, Artist Dates (fun, fresh adventures), and discovering the inner critic, this program is a JOURNEY. In our opinion, a journey well worth taking.
In the middle of a pandemic- maybe now more than ever- it will be self-care, creativity, inspiration, and innovation that gets us through.
When in-person meet-ups are possible again, here is the link for details on the Artists Way meet-ups with Glen in Toronto: https://www.meetup.com/torontoartistsway/
