I wanted to post at least once more on mental health before the end of May, for Mental Health Awarness Month. Of course we will still discuss mental health, as we have done in the past (check out previous episodes). However, sometimes when there is a spotlight on mental health, it draws more attention to the topic. In this episode I spoke about how beneficial research can be and how it can open yo...

In this episode, I wanted to encourage others to start your mental journey today, if you have not already. It is not an easy journey, especially for those who have experienced trauma and/or mental health concerns. However, the sooner you start the better. The journey is important because mental health affects your physical health and other areas of life. Before Mental Health Awareness Month is ove...

I wanted to speak on mental health since this month of May is Mental Health Awareness Month, at least here in the United States. Mental health is being talked about more in general, which is good; however, I do not hear it talked about as much in the context of health concerns. Chronic health concerns can take a major toll on a person's mental health, which in turn can also cause more issues with...

This is a last minute, impromptu episode speaking on listening to your inner conscience regarding things that appear small. I shared an interesting experience I had earlier tonight. These "smaller" things can be preparation for bigger things that awake our conscience to make important decisions. Please excuse if the audio is not the best.

This is long overdue, however I wanted to update from the juice fast in September. I spent time reading notes I took during the notes. Side note: I meant I thought I wrote more for Day 2, not Day 3.

I wanted to share the upcoming 3 day juice fast. I know it has been so long! Hope that yall have been well. I have still been posting on Instagram, especially in the Instagram stories.  The 3 day juice fast starts Friday, September 23rd, 2022 12:00 AM EST to Monday, September 26th, 2022 12:00 AM EST. You can look into your time zone and adjust as needed. I know some of you are listening from...

This episode I spoke on reasons why I believe we tend to fall prey to believe everything we hear. There are many other reasons, but these are a few that came to mind. I always encourage others and myself to question things and not to be afraid of the response from others. The goal is to keep us in a slumber or in a constant state of fear and uncertainty so we go along with whatever is presented.&n...

So, I wanted to do an update to the episode where I spoke on Kim Kardashian and the topics of celebrities promoting vegan brands. I still do not think it is inherently always a bad thing, however context is important and as I've tought about it more, I understand the outrage. You can leave voice messages on the Anchor. FM page https://anchor.fm/naturalholisticlady Also, you can find me on Instagra...

So many people around this time are celebrating the holidays and they are preparing and/or eating so many different types of food. As mentioned in the episode, food can be very emotional, causing various feelings to arise. Guilt is one of them, so I wanted to touch on ways to address holiday food guilt. The goal is to enjoy food in healthier ways without unhealthy emotions attached to it. As far a...

In this episode I wanted to touch on the division that I see with the medical challenges that are occuring right now and the role of the media in everything. The episode is not to steer people on either side, but just to discuss the concern of this division and the tactics being used. I am not a medical expert, and even if I was, I encourage people to do their own research and also speak to your d...

I decided to touch on the anger towards Kim Kardashian and her recent partnership with Beyond Meat, which is a vegan food brand. Follow me on Instagram @naturalholisticlady if you have any comments.

There are myths that people make up when it comes to the vagina. It's important they are addressed because so many women are struggling with vaginal issues. The shame and misinformation can lead to further issues and fear of seeking out support. I am not an OBGYN but I do know from experience that the vagina is a sensitive area and I have learned ways to greatly improve things. Every woman is diff...

Have you ever heard of programming? Well we all have been programmed, even if you are a free thinker and the type of person that always questions things. Unfortunately, many people do not question things and they simply go along with certain beliefs and mindsets because of what they hear and watch. Mass media plays a major role in programming, including television and social media. However, the ed...

The goal is to stay grounded and protect our mind, body and spirit during all the controversy that is occurring. This is not about the left or the right, it's about where is this country heading and what ideologies are prominent. We see a major change in how people think and what is supported as a group. We should be aware how we are influence and aim to know firmly what we believe and having the...

I wanted to touch on how sometimes we can use food to deal with the deep seated emotions that we have. These emotions can stem from current things we are experiencing or larger things that have occurred in the past or we anticipate for the future. As mentioned in the episode, receiving enjoyment and pleasure from food is not in of itself a negative thing. I believe food was created not just for no...

I am revisiting the topic of anger as promised. In this episode I touched on various aspects that can contribute to deep seated anger. Anger in of itself, like stress, can be helpful and it inevitable. However, some of us are experiencing chronic anger on a daily basis which can lead to so many health concerns and a lack of peace and joy in life. I believe it is important to know where it can stem...

In this episode I addressed anger, which is natural emotion, and how the way it is expressed plays a role in whether it can be positive or otherwise. spoke about how men and men tend to be viewed differently when it comes to anger and how this can at times have an effect on how anger is suppressed or expressed. Also, when it comes to anger, race can play a role as well. I mentioned that black wome...

In this episode, I speak on reasons why we cannot afford to get sick, especially in this day and age. The coronavirus situation has been a reminder for this topic as well, being that so many people are concerned more and more about their health and the economy. However, finances is only one reason I mentioned. Tune in to listen to other reasons why we cannot afford to get sick!  You will also...

Eating healthier is important, however many people are concerned with being able to afford healthy foods. Because of the current climate of the economy and the coronavirus, more people are dealing with more financial challenges and uncertainties. Eating healthy does not have to cost an arm and a leg. This is an opportunity to be more creative in the kitchen and also with the way you make money wor...

In this episode I speak on how this year brought to the surface some factors that black Americans face such as pre-existing health conditions and overweight/obesity concerns. Along with the police killings against black people, which has been a longstanding concern, but has been recently brought to the surface again, this can add more stress to the health of black people. The same can be said for...
