Show Notes
Hey lady! How are you doing with your New Year’s resolutions? Are you still on track with your health and wellness goals? If you started the year revved up and ready to go and already find yourself slouching back towards bad habits we want to help take some of the pressure off with a helpful reframe that will help sharpen your focus on your goals.
This week, Alishia McCullough, a licensed clinical mental health therapist and founder of Black and Embodied Counseling and Consulting PLLC, stops by Cultivating H.E.R. Space to discuss her new book Reclaiming the Black Body: Nourishing the Home Within to discuss how Black women and femmes can unlearn the harmful narratives about our Black bodies. These stories have been passed down generationally and have been detrimental to how we view ourselves and our place in this world.
Alishia offers new frameworks on how to view the Black body and divorce it from the way it’s been traditionally viewed by discussing our relationship with nourishing food, deep respect for our ancestral lineages, and combatting the images we see in the media.
Lady, wherever you are in your health journey always remember that your mindset is the first part of you to conquer. Once you master how you view YOU, trust us, you will be unstoppable!
Quote of the Day:
"Food is a spiritual practice. Eating is a spiritual practice. Cooking is a spiritual practice. Farming is a spiritual practice. Gardening is a spiritual practice. Do you see how important food is to us a diaspora?"
– Lyvonne Briggs
