When we don't have the time, money or the ability to book a weekend getaway, let's consider what else we can do. Let's consider the ways in which we can better use the mindfulness resources available to us.
Falling Apart?
You letting yourself feel the pain of these times? A lot of falling apart as we look in every direction. The loss of RBG. The Earth, in continuous distress. All while we continue living amid spiking numbers of COVID.
Tired of proving your worth?
When do you invest in yourself? As marginalized beings, we learn to devalue ourselves. In today’s video, I’ll talk about ways we can invest in ourselves to reclaim our worth..
NOT welcome here!
Internalized oppression makes us believe that we are never good enough. This endangers our mental health. In today’s video, I’ll talk about these lies we’re fed, and how this creates internalized oppression.
What mask do you wear?
As marginalized folks, we need to wear masks everyday. We learn from a young age to mask parts of ourselves. We learn to hide. In this video I talk about the masks we wear to protect ourselves from oppression.
Having to pick and choose?
Binaries limit us. They tame us. When we try to live outside the binary, we risk rejection. We feel isolated. We therefore mold and change ourselves in order to belong. But what about the space in between?
Wanting to hide?
Shame is one of the most excruciating emotions to feel. As marginalized folks, we’re susceptible to chronic shame at greater levels than anyone else. We grow up with the internalized belief that we are never enough, no matter what we do. Chronic shame makes us want to disappear
This could have been ME!
“You’re crazy.” “You’re making this up.” When we are gaslighted, we stop trusting ourselves. We believe our experience is unreal. Gaslighting harms our mental health. Learn to identify gaslighting, and how we can learn to protect ourselves from it.
This made me want to puke
Getting tokenized over again and again? You’re only seen for being black? Only seen for being queer? Tokenizing aims to be inclusive, and instead harms us. Tokenizing is not solidarity! In this video I’ll talk about what happens when the “positive” focus on our identities turns ugly
Is this sustainable?!
So much exhaustion and pain as we continue to fight for justice for black lives. It’s important to notice whether we are receiving or giving during these times. In this video I talk about how we continue this sustainably.
STOP asking this question!
I am not ok. We are not ok. It took 8 minutes and 46 seconds to take George Floyd’s life. Imagine ALL you can do in 8 minutes and 46 seconds. Take the following 3 action steps NOW
Are you giving away your power?
In this video I talk about having CHOICE. Especially during a pandemic! When we forget our ability to choose, we give away our most essential power.
Moved to tears!
Are you making space for your grief? We are surrounded by grief. Yet, we often label this as inconvenient, and miss out on the value of grief. In this video I talk about the global grievance process, and share about the 5 Stages of Grief by Elisabeth Kübler Ross.

How are you looking for comfort these days? Do you find yourself going back to your favorite childhood foods, movies, or habits? When under stress, we all regress. In this video I talk about regression, the ways we can comfort ourselves, and the importance of appreciating the small things
Pressured or stuck?
Do you find that you’re ‘shoulding’ yourself lately? I should be doing more, I should be more productive. In this video I talk about how to stay with-in. How to stay in the moments where we so desperately want to leave our homes, our emotions, and ourselves.
Feeling COVID-19 Resistance?
Feeling COVID-19 resistance? Not wanting ANOTHER thing to happen? You are not alone. In this video, you will learn how to connect with your inner resilience, and shift your perspective
