It is so easy to get caught in the hustle and bustle. Sometimes, we forget that we’re the ones who call the shots. Society may push a certain lifestyle but that doesn’t mean that you have to subscribe to it. You are allowed to make your path; this life is your journey. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to take things slowly. You are allowed to be still.

Happy 2024, my loves! I know it’s been a little while but I am back with a list of lessons from last year that I will be taking into the new year. Here’s to a brighter, more peaceful and prosperous year. I love you all

Changing your perspective is a superpower. When we change our minds, we shift our focus to the reality we want to create. Simply put, changing your mind can change your life.

Hello, my loves! We all have our comfort zones and there is nothing wrong with that. I hate to break it you, but your dreams and highest desires lie outside of that wall. And I believe you have what it takes to not only step out of that zone but to shine while doing it.

When I say rest, what do you think about? For many, rest is a foreign concept. Sometimes, we feel as though we have to earn rest or that we can rest when we’re old. (absolutely not). In this episode, we talk about rest and ways we can incorporate it into our daily lives.

Surrender is an act of faith that takes constant practice. It doesn’t necessarily feel good or easy but it is so necessary. It is an act of letting go of what no longer serves us (so that we can align with what does.) For lack of a better term, let go and let GOD.

In this episode, we are reminded that you are supposed to be seen. You are allowed to take up space. There is enough space in the world for you to be your truest, most authentic self. And there are enough people in the world that will love you for being just that

In this episode, our host shares her excitement about being back! For the comeback, she goes through a list of some things that she’s been learning on her break.

In this episode, we explore the idea of God beyond religious conception. Once we recognize that God is not a man in the sky, we open our perception of existence.

In this episode, we differentiate between “openness” and “vulnerability” and discuss ways we can foster more vulnerability in our daily lives.

I’ve been doing a little reminiscing this week and just wanted to share some of my thoughts. Enjoy

In honour of one year of celibacy, I wanted to share some things this journey has been teaching me. Enjoy. I love you

Forgiveness is a tricky thing. In episode 29, we talked about self-forgiveness and today, we dive into forgiving others. How do we forgive others? How do we put them in the past without feeling resentment? How do we forgive without closure?

Trust is foundational for all relationships (especially the one with yourself). In this episode, we navigate ways to develop trust in self, others and a Higher Power. — tw: mentions of suicidal thoughts and overdosing.

Hi, hello, and welcome to season 4 of release! As we journey further into release, I want to continue to be (more) open and honest in all episodes. I have decided that the beginning of this season would begin with a story. I felt it was time to share some of my story because I know there are others struggling with these same burdens. You are so loved and your experiences are all valid. Thank you f...

Welcome to the end of season 3!! Thank you all for the love and support so far. I am so honoured and grateful you’ve taken the time to listen to what I’ve had to say. **** As our host celebrates her birthday, she takes some time to reflect on the year that has passed. (It’s been quite the year). She shares 10 things from her list of things she’s learnt this year.

When talking about forgiveness, we sometimes forget to we should also be directing it inward. In this episode, our host speaks about self-forgiveness and ways we can practice self-compassion on this journey.

Emotional bypassing is defined as “sugarcoating uncomfortable emotions and experiences”. When we practice emotional bypassing, we deny ourselves the opportunity to honour and learn from our emotions. Our emotions are teachers. When we allow them to move through us, we learn so much. We learn about our own humanity and how much beauty can be found in every aspect of existence.

On this episode, we have our second-ever guest, Mariam (@mariam.coker on instagram)!! Mariam is a child and youth therapist and an all-round amazing person. In this episode, we chat about our mental health experiences as black women and practices we can use to validate ourselves and our feelings. We also speak about the benefits and importance of community and connection. (Please excuse the backgr...

Happy 1 year of release!! Thank you all for coming along with me on this journey. I’m ready for all that the future of release has in store for us. I love you all! In this episode, our host shares some insights on spirituality and how to appreciate the journey. As with all journeys, spirituality does not have to look or feel a certain way, it’s about what resonates and works for you. ***tw: mentio...

Happy 2023, my loves! As we welcome the new year, many are fixated on their resolutions. However, many create very vague resolutions with the understanding that they are “bound to fail anyway.” In this episode, we speak about how we can formulate more successful resolutions. And we are reminded that the desire to change is not only available in January. You can wake up on a random morning in July...

As the year comes to a close, I think it is imperative to reflect. So, I thought I would share some lessons I’ve learnt. Thank you for being here. I love you.

Think of your support system. That list should have at least one name on it, yours. When we are thinking about structures of support, we always discredit ourselves. Even if there is no one in your corner, you must be able to show up for yourself. You must always be your biggest supporter.

Grief is a universal feeling. Everyone has struggled with loss to some degree. Sometimes, we never slow down and allow ourselves the grace to experience and begin our healing journey. In this episode, I talk about ways that we can transform our grief into a teacher. How do we learn from the feelings that we face while going through this journey? How do you pick yourself up when you feel like you h...

Welcome to season 3! Thank you so much for being here! In this episode,  we talk about not allowing others’ expectations or views of you to dictate what choices you make. It is your life. As long as your choices do not harm you or anyone else, the world is your oyster. Fear simply limits you. You will never know unless you try.
