The flashbacks and emotions that came up in today's session are a bit too muddled for me to openly share at this time and I explain why in this short episode.

The themes of this week's episode are feeling rejected by my father, feelings as though his love was conditional, and feeling like I couldn't depend on anyone to support me in my weakest moments. I share how these beliefs have manifested as me isolating myself emotionally whenever I am going through something difficult or scary and not trusting anyone to be able to help me.

In this EVOX session, I started out by wanting to explore any repressed resentment I may have related to a specific time in my life. Of course, as so often happens, the session unearthed so many more emotions/hurt that my subconscious had been holding onto for years. I explore how the deeper emotions hiding under the resentment were really disappointment, grief and fear. I point out the several epiphanies I had during this session and how it cleared the subconscious blocks that had been keeping me from avoiding a specific conversation for years.Interview LinksPodcast: EVOX Series – Week 1Article: What is EVOX?Schedule: Schedule a Remote or In-Person EVOX SessionArticle: Louise Hay List of Emotional Root of DiseaseConnect w/Me & Learn MoreWebsiteInstagramTiktokYoutube

In this EVOX session, I identify the shame that I have repressed for years related to a specific time in my life.

In this EVOX session, I identified a paralyzing fear around the idea of "being invisible". I share how when thinking about "being invisible" I felt panicked, suffocated, and like I was drowning. In the episode, I discuss the possibility that this may be related to a family trauma I was unaware of, and the discussion I had with my mom about her near-death experience that seemed to connect many of the dots.Interview LinksBook: It Didn't Start w/You, How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We AreArticle: What is EVOX?Schedule: In-Person or Remote EVOX SessionConnect w/Me & Learn MoreWebsiteInstagramTiktokYoutube

In this episode, I discuss how I have observed in myself that I can manifest feelings of lethargy, sadness, aches, and pains, etc as a protective mechanism. When I am feeling emotionally afraid or vulnerable, I can wake up feeling lethargic and unmotivated. I share how I used to let these feelings dictate my entire day and the epiphany that changed everything as well as 5 simple things I do that help me prepare my mind and body for the best possible day.Interview LinksPodcast: Strategies to Manage Stress w/Dr. Ellen Vora, Holistic PsychiatristPodcast: EFT for Stress, Trauma, Depression and More w/Ben SchwarczArticle: What is EFT or Tapping and the Benefits?Connect w/Me & Learn MoreWebsiteInstagramTiktokYoutube

At the start of the new year, one of the things I committed to was to do one EVOX session a week with myself for the entire year.

On Friday, July 10th I was going about my day, feeling perfectly fine. Around 2:30 PM, out of nowhere I suddenly started to feel full-body muscle aches, headache, weakness, shortness of breath, chest pain, sore throat, and chills. And when I say out of nowhere, I mean it. Literally one minute I was fine and 60 seconds later it was like a train hit me.In this episode, I detail my immediate response and the specific things I did to support my immune system’s ability to fight off pathogens. My number and severity of symptoms truly scared me and I thought I might need to go to the hospital as they were getting worse quickly. I truly believe my immediate response and the immune-boosting things I did saved me from hospitalization.**This is not meant to serve as medical advice. I am simply sharing my experience and what worked for me. Always consult a medical professional before taking new supplements and if you become seriously ill.Episode Links:Article: COVID 19 Positive?

Today, Irina and I discuss the different ways each dosha type may be struggling during this period of coronavirus quarantine/isolation.Irina breaks down the specific symptoms of imbalance each dosha might experience and highlights the activities as well as foods each dosha can do/eat to restore balance. Towards the end, we also touch on best practices in terms of eating habits for all dosha types. When the best times to eat are, if snacking is okay, which doshas should be snacking and which shouldn’t, when to stop eating for the day, etc.Interview Links:Accrescent Podcast Ep. 13: Ayurvedic Medicine & Lifestyle w/Teri NejadOnline Resource: Irina’s free Dosha WorkbookArticle: The doshas in quarantine: how the doshas behave in social isolationWhere to Find Irina:WebsiteInstagramConnect w/Me & Learn MoreWebsiteInstagramTiktokYoutube

In this episode of The Accrescent Podcast, I have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Courtney Tracy. Her extensive education and experience in the realm of psychology as well as her no-nonsense approach to mental health has led her to be known as “The Truth Doctor”. In this interview, we examine how childhood trauma plays out in our everyday lives either consciously or subconsciously. Dr. Tracy notes that many people believe so many negative facets of their personality are “just who they are”. We don’t recognize that many of these negative patterns and impulses are related to trauma from our past. Her passion lies in helping individuals recognize these negative patterns and discover their “true self” underneath them. We discuss ways of identifying trauma patterns as well as ways to begin to heal those past wounds and no longer live as slaves to our trauma impulses.Intro LinksLeave me your feedback on Instagram or through the Contact Page on my website!If you are loving these interviews and the information provided, please consider leaving a review for the podcast and subscribing on whatever podcast listening app you use.Interview LinksBook: The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel Van Der KolkProduct: Four Sigmatic Organic Superfood Protein PowderFour Sigmatic Discount Code: LAL10Book: Adult Children of Emotionally Unavailable Parents by Lindsay GibsonInstagram Account: The Holistic PsychologistInstagram Account: Rising WomanWhere to Find Dr. TracyInstagramWebsiteTikTokConnect w/Me & Learn MoreWebsiteInstagramTiktokYoutube

Karen Hurd is back and we are diving into the topic of acidity. Karen breaks down the difference between acidity and acidosis, the difference between blood acidity and bodily fluid acidity and dismantles many of the common beliefs surrounding this topic. We also touch on the topic of the Keto diet, how it relates to acidity and how it can be very harmful to the liver, kidneys, adrenals, and overall health if maintained as a long-term diet. Karen walks us through the massive storm of internal imbalances that can occur when maintaining a keto diet for longer periods. She points out that Type 1 diabetics are at a particular risk of inducing acidosis when eating a ketogenic diet and explains why.According to Karen, “We have made a scapegoat out of acidity” in an attempt to place blame for a lot of prevalent diseases today. She points out that too much acidity in the gut can actually lead to a wide range of negative health outcomes including, nausea, acid reflux, heartburn, ulcers, chronic, and more. However, Karen explains how the gut can become too acidic and provides a very simple strategy to balance this acidity in the gut to prevent and even reverse many illnesses.Product Discount Codes + LinksHerbal Face Food: The Serum IIHerbal Face Food Discount Code: LAL20It Just Works Deodorant: WebsiteMicro Balance Health: WebsiteMicro Balance Health Code: ACCRESCENTIntro Links:Article: COVID-19 Positive?

Join me and my close friend, Brent Corbett, in this expansive discussion on the heavy topic of racism and black lives matter. Brent shares a little bit of his history and his journey into the world of motivational speaking. He walks us through his perspective as a black man in regards to racism and gently walks us through ways we can begin to become more positively involved in this narrative. This discussion is far from black and white (no pun intended) and makes a point of highlighting all sides of the narrative. I so appreciate Brent’s patient and gentle manner as he sheds some light on this powerful movement.Interview Links:Book: The Autobiography of Malcolm XBook: The Pedagogy of the OppressedBook: Lies My Teacher Told MeBook: The Topology of ViolenceWhere to Find Brent:InstagramConnect w/Me & Learn MoreWebsiteInstagramTiktokYoutubeOther Anti-Racism ResourcesFILMSOn Netflix:13thAmerican SonDear White PeopleSee You YesterdayWhen They See UsAmazon Prime:Just MercyThe Hate You GiveI Am Not Your NegroThe Last Black Man in San FranciscoFreedom SummerTwo Black Men A WeekPodcastsAbout RacePod Save the PeopleThe Diversity GapMomentum: A Race Forward PodcastPod for the Cause1619 by the New York TimesBooksThe Bluest EyeBlack Feminist ThoughtEloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower I Know Why the Caged Bird SingsSo You Want to Talk About RaceThe Next American Revolution: Sustainable Activism for the Twenty-First CenturyThe Warmth of Other SunsOrganizations Black Women’s BlueprintColor of ChangeUnited We DreamThe Conscious KidThe Leadership Conference on Civil & Human RightsSisterSongColorlinesEqual Justice InitiativeMagnetic Moment ChallengeThis week I am challenging each of you to buy a book, watch a documentary, listen to an interview, read an article, etc related to racism.

MD & Holistic Psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora provides realistic and effective strategies for managing stress & anxiety during this coronavirus period and all that it entails. Her message is one that washes us in peace and empowerment. Dr. Vora breaks down anxiety into two categories: false anxiety and true anxiety. She explains that false anxiety is often a result of a biological imbalance and shares simple diet and lifestyle factors that we can address in order to prevent our bodies from triggering a fight-or-flight response.Likewise, Dr. Vora encourages us to address true anxiety, the stress we feel from very real situations we are facing, with openness and compassion. She encourages us to allow our feelings to be felt and then released through whatever means connects with us most (meditation, journaling, verbal release, movement, etc).Interview Links:Healthy Fats for Cooking: Grass-Fed Ghee, Organic Avocado Oil, Grass-Fed ButterNo-Heat Healthy Fats: Organic Olive Oil, Organic Coconut Oil, Nuts, Avocados, Grass-Fed MeatsProduct: RA Optics Bluelight Blocking Glasses (discount code TA15)Article: Blue Light, Why It Is Both Necessary & Harmful & What to Do About ItApp Download: Iris Tech BluelightNatural Stress & Anxiety Relief: Valerian Root Capsules, Organic Passion Flower Tea, Passion Flower Extract, Organic Lemon Balm Tea, Lemon Balm Extract, Organic, Bioavailable CBD, Magnesium Glycinate, Cava, Phenol-Gabba, Dr. Vora Online Course: Holistic Approaches to Mental Health & Coping w/CoronavirusMagnetic Moment Links:Article: Blue Light, Why It Is Both Necessary & Harmful & What to Do About ItArticle: 7 Natural Remedies for Stress & Anxiety That Provide Immediate ReliefArticle: 5 Adaptogens for Stress & Anxiety ManagementArticle: 6 Tips for Managing Anxiety NaturallyWhere to Find Dr. Ellen Vora:WebsiteInstagramConnect w/Me & Learn MoreWebsiteInstagramTiktokYoutube
