Resolve Your Mental and Emotional Baggage at the Subconscious Level

Resolve Your Mental and Emotional Baggage at the Subconscious Level

Today in our episode of Unleashed Unapologetically, Raquel talks to us about the subconscious and the conscious mind. We go into the effects they have on us especially when we're dealing with emotional baggage.

Well! We all have those emotional and mental baggage that we carry around. They are the limiting beliefs, the doubts and fears and the self-judgement. What we don't often pay attention to is that emotional baggage can literally stop us from growing and living our best lives.

Raquel believes that when you heal yourself, you heal the world. However, when you fail to heal from your past experiences, fear becomes a constant attribute, it lingers, it affects and limits you. Know that you have the capacity to carry past experiences and learn from them. You can start by letting go of the things you cannot control.

Dr. Omolara created her company Melanin & Medicine to provide women physicians of color the support and programming they need. As an advocate and speaker to both physician and community audiences she expresses her expertise in the fields of implicit bias in healthcare settings, inclusion and equity for women physicians in healthcare, racism in health, and health of marginalized children and families.

A Bone-Deep Longing For Soul Search

A Bone-Deep Longing For Soul Search

Deep down, what you believe about yourself is essential. So within each one of us lies a bone-deep longing for success, freedom, self-confidence and Soul search. 

In this episode of Unleashed Unapologetically we are talking to Elisha Halpin who is a sacred life mentor and embodiment coach for visionaries, creatives, healers, and coaches. To fully live our lives and express self-love, self-respect and self-compassion we need to allow the longing for it. It is natural, it is powerful and it is promising.

When talking to Elisha we understand that if we do not have a healthy outlet, our paradigm is not positive rather negative, that desire for self-support, self- love, self-respect and self-confidence will degenerate to the dark night. 

Elisha is a channel of Divine Feminine wisdom  

"As the Priestess behind the Leader, Elisha facilitates sacred leaders into the embodiment of their Soul's Essence allowing them to trust their power, create their sacred service to have an impact, and authentically express their truth".
