I want to go back to normal! My goodness, life can get crazy. We can travel miles away from our own normal by doing too much, engaging in too many activities, way over thinking or interacting with people or events that truly are not our peeps or places that match our energy. What is normal, anyways?? Is it ordinary? Is normal boring? Or is normal comfortable and serene. The cool thing about normal...

Do we own anything or does anything really belong to us? Our minds are full of illusions. And these illusions of “owning” oftentimes stimulate clinging and grasping. When we feel we own something, we encourage unconscious thinking that leads to control or panic! Join Sherita and Allison as they dive into the concept of Papancha. The chatter of the mind and its need to own everything! People, feeli...

Our Self is a collective portfolio of actions, thoughts, behaviors, choices and ideas. Every day we are splitting our time into many facets. Time on thoughts, time for actions, time for pleasures and efforts towards future pleasures to be rewarded. We must ask ourselves, “What should Self invest in ?”. When we decide what we should and want to invest in, we can become more purposeful in creating a...

Whether we had to raise ourselves or we raised someone else, we all need to reflect on the messages we received (or gave) during our upbringing, how our experiences became stored in our memory photo album and how those pieces of information have developed our belief systems. Join Sherita and Allison as they discuss Carl Jung’s Chakra theory and how we can apply its principles to our own “upbringin...

What is wicked? Do we create wicked? Does a society need something wicked in order to bond? Maybe or maybe not. As far as time goes back for man, we have always had something, someone or some cause to fight. The chosen collect and deems a wicked enemy to defeat. And in this singular goal we believe we have found a way to agree. The wicked gave us a union, a justification for our actions. And even...

Saying goodbye is hard. It can hurt deep in your soul, but it’s truly part of our life journey. Goodbyes are necessary for growth. Yet sometimes goodbyes are unavoidable and that the growth it brings feels like it has absolutely no purpose or value whatsoever. Goodbyes stimulate grief. And oh my, grief is hard. However, it must be respected and whether we like it or not it demands attention. So ju...

Now what???? Oh shit!!!! What the Hell??? What am I gonna do now? We have all been there. The moment you know change is upon you, yet you have no idea what to do next. Chapters change, entire books in life close. And once a set is done, there is always a pause (a bit of panic) where we stop and wonder…Now What? Join Sherita and Allison as they talk about their drastic changes and their little grad...

You can have everything, but not all at once. In today’s society we are constantly reminded that we can be anyone, do anything, have anything. And oftentimes this “dream big” agenda can feel overwhelming with dangerously anxious ridden expectations. What is your dream is simple? What is you prefer the supporting role instead of the spotlight? What if “just living” is all you want to accomplish (qu...

I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world.... scratch the record. We all are Barbies living in the Real World! Since 1959, Barbie has been taking the world by storm and teaching women how to be their own woman or Babie, so to speak. This conversation centers around Barbie, the movie (Allison saw it and Sherita did not) as they disucss the themes that Allison took away from the movie as well as how Alli...

You already know. Yes, you do. Installed inside of our beings is an intrinsic field of wisdom. This space knows when it is time. Time for change, time for movement, time for rest. It is the same wisdom laced in the changing colors in the leaves of the trees, the same one that pushes the seed through the soil. So have no worries, you do know what to do next….even if you can’t see the details! When...

Music, drinks, laughter and beach. Oh yes…Bikini Season is here. Are you ready? And I don’t mean ready with perfect abs and fake tans….I mean ready to face the exposed truth a bikini may push you to feel? Join The Yatra Sisters as they talk about thin bodies, scars on the body, bodies of disease, bodies of curves, big booties and breasts of abundance. Yes, all this and more shoved in that bikini o...

How do you like your spice? Are you a warm chai or a red hot chili pepper? The Spice you choose can make or break the entire meal. It is crucial in creating the perfect dining experience. And we don’t just need spice in our diets, it is a must in our daily routines. Life without spice is like plain old rice. Good for a few days……boring if it becomes the only entree offered every day for years. Lif...

What would happen if you let it go? Oh goodness…..so much could happen. Maybe nothing would change or maybe everything would change. Many of us know it’s time to let go of an emotion, an argument, a possession or a story line that we used to believe. Letting go is a process. You may know you need to let go of a poor habit, yet letting go of the habit means you are letting go of your day to day rou...

I want the world to know….but maybe not everybody needs to know everything! The world is a huge population, made up by many mini subcultures. Our world is our cultivated world and that may not be as big as we think it is. Join Sherita and Allison as they talk about “coming out” and how this term can be shared by the entire human race. We are not 100% one thing. The totality of our beings is a comb...

Patience can save you, yet patience can drive you crazy! Why do we struggle with patience? Is it because we hate having no control, is it that we want what we want and we want it now? Or is it because we hate the space patience makes us sit inside of? Patience is not a time where nothing is happening. It’s actually the space where everything is happening. New ideas can bloom, past reflections can...

I owe you? You owe me? It’s hard to determine who we owe, what we owe or why we owe. Paying a debt is never fun, especially if you didn’t even enjoy the process of creating the debt itself. Money debt can feel terribly heavy and overwhelming. And yet people debt can feel even worse. Paying back a favor, caring for the ungrateful or receiving a gift with strings attached can feel as worse as a Mast...

On the playground we have the swings, the slides and the famous see-saw. That long basic board that simply goes up while the other side goes down. We all loved the small thrill it gave us, but we were terrified if we had to play with a mate that unfairly pushed too hard or forced themselves too strongly causing an unsafe imbalance. That basic old fashioned see-saw on the playground actually taught...

Sexy today, sexy tomorrow, sexy forever! Is this your truth? What we may have thought was sexy yesterday has arrived to become a different definition of sexy for us today. Let’s allow our beauty to change in beautiful ways. Our tiny bikinis in our twenties may wardrobe change into bad ass one pieces. The high heels fall down to flip flops. Hard abs may give way to sexy bellies filled with beer and...

Whether it’s the cycle or the pause, us women need to bond together and bring back our rights. The right to feel lousy, tired, emotional and needing a day off. Men can not understand our shifting hormones. So why is the word men even inserted into our MENstrual or MENopause labels? Women, it is up to us to restore our rights and normalize our hormonal selves. Join Sherita and Allison as they talk...

Are you a bad mamma or daddy? Were you raised by a bad mamma or daddy? It’s time we talk about this parenting crisis and encourage all of us to do a bit better. To raise a child is to raise a human being that everyone must encounter in society. Just cause you had sex, doesn’t mean you know how to be a parent. You probably need some education and guidance. Parenting is a skill, and to be honest som...

Have you ever looked around trying to find someone or something to blame? Or worse, looked around and found nothing or no one to blame? That is playing the Blame Game. And this game really does have specific rules to play it fairly. Yes, oftentimes there is someone and something to blame. And we should acknowledge this. Poor actions and unfortunate circumstances should be acknowledged and validate...

We know it. Our logical brains has accepted this truth. We know not everyone is gonna like you. Even though we know this truth, it still feels awful when we experience it. Why? Why doesn’t someone like us? You may never know. And truthfully the reason is irrelevant. We can’t please everyone, we can’t like everyone, and we can’t change every time someone says we need to change……especially if we hav...

From one destination to the next we go. And our go is usually in a rush. But why the rush? Why do we want to get to the next place so quickly? Is the journey in between our phases in life that uncomfortable? Usually, yes! Many times when we are transitioning from one stage in life into another stage we feel uncomfortable, confused, uncertain. We know we shouldn’t go backwards, yet forward can some...

In the spirit of self help we can start to look so deep in the mirror we lose sight of the self. Yes, improving our self every day is important but not when we become a bit obsessed! Self improvement junkies oftentimes hyper focus on changing themselves, gathering too much information and forgetting how to just live. Accepting past choices, flaws in our personalities and embracing the let downs ar...

Am I a Ho? You may be surprised that in fact you are. Yes, it's kinda obvious if we are a Ho in the sexual relations. And that is not to be judged! It may be exactly what you desire to be and it feels more right than wrong. But there are other relationship avenues we can be a Ho. Like being a Ho friend! What is that!?? A Ho friend jumps in quickly, loves quickly, grants promises and offers it all...
