Stœnd with Lavender

We are back. We are alive and we are read to get Stœnd together again. We are adulting hard and it has fun moments. I was sick recording this and have been holding onto this episode for months.

We have all fallen down throughout our journeys, how have you decided to face the lessons from your falls? Join us for the first month of our season two premier with Lily, as we discuss the lessons of “failure.” It is time to reshape our perceptions of failure. How do we grow without learning? How have your failures/lessons helped you grow?

This month we are taking time to mentally and emotionally prepare for what is to come. For most this may look different, which is okay, but we must also allow ourselves other methods to deal with life. This month we know there is more coming for us and to us. Let us take the time to address the things we want to change and improve in our lives for the stage of our journeys. Stay tuned for more.

Today we talk about finding joy with the friends and loved ones that we keep close. A close friend joins us today to discuss what keeps us moving towards the future. We are not alone, we do not have to be alone. We discuss how joy can be found in the small things, and to celebrate the small victories because they make the biggest ripples. Stay tuned for more to come next week!

The things that bring us enough joy to choose to be here today. What are they? Who are they? What does Joy look like to you? This month we are staying afloat on the Joy raft. Life seems to be getting harder, it’s time to envelope ourselves in the small-BIG joys we sometimes forget.

Father’s Day feature

Welcome to our Father’s Day Feature! This week we are joined by Trophy and Randy J for our third week of June’s harvest. This week I wanted to honor the male perspective of parenthood, and this episode is unfiltered, unedited, just vibes. These are two men experiencing life differently, but they share one thing in common: fatherhood. This week will reveal the inner workings within fathers’ minds. Stay tuned for more to come.

This week we are joined by Jelaina Salcedo. We talk about our personal harvests and reflect on how far we’ve come to self improve. We are all working towards better versions of ourselves, how are we maintaining ourselves to get where we want? We all have dreams, what will it take for us to achieve them?

This is the month where farms are harvesting fresh and local produce for the summer. This month is about going back and acknowledging all the hard work we overlook of ourselves. This is the month to take pride in all that we’ve done to be here today. Take a deep breath and accept that it is really okay to move at your own pace. This is your harvest, what does it look like?

Today we are joined by Nubia Peña, we talk about motherhood and it’s lessons. Nubia talks about the lessons she’s learned as a woman and she will teach her beautiful daughter. We dig deep into self discovery and sexuality.

Today we are joined by Annet Nyakwada as we discuss the definitive natures of both womanhood and sexuality. We talk about renovating traumatic experiences that perpetuate fear and shame as Black African women. Join us in this healing time, it’s time to choose yourself for your own peace of mind.

Femininity, sensuality and fertility. These are aspects to grace yourself with on your personal womanhood journey. It’s is time to embrace the things that we have been taught ignore, to avoid as we move through womanhood. Our womanhood is very much intertwined with our choice to become mothers. We must embody the aspects that empower us as we move through womanhood.
