YOG 52: Life's To Short?
'Life's to short,' is a phrase we hear often when sickness and/or bereavement draws close. We question our mortality and reflect on the regrets and reconciliations we want to clean up in order to live our best selves with whatever time we have left. In this session June reflects on 3 layers to consider before you take any action around life being to short.

YOG50: Recovery Step 1 with Rineya from My Black Experience.
Hey family, I could not let January slip by without sharing some step one racial sobriety. The adapted step 1 from AA translates to us as, 'We admitted we were powerless over the impact of racism (white supremacy), that our lives had become unmanageable.' I am thrilled to be sharing the space with my sista in recovery Rineya who agreed to join me to share her experience strength and hope on this first step as a black women in the rooms. We explore the pain and powerlessness of living under the system of white supremacy, her rock bottom moment, tokenism, racism in the rooms, and the power of black spaces which bring hope in taking the first step. You don't want to miss this! You can connect with Rineya at www.myblackexperience.co.uk or follow her on instagram @Rineya_Umran_ka

YOG49: The Opposite of Trauma is Play.
In this podcast June shares the importance of play as part of our healing, recovery process. Living under the oppressive system of racism is traumatic, and if we were raised in homes that also were chaotic, play is going to be something the can feel foreign to us because these environments will consciously and unconsciously keep us on high alert. Play is the opposite of trauma, so grab a tea and a pad to take notes as June shares how to bring more fun into your growth process.

YOG48: Gentleness.
With recovery and healing comes pain. Sometimes it hurts more than the original hurt because we now have to deal with the years of using the dysfunctional survival behaviors that helped you cope. I know it's not what you want to hear but that's the reality. I say this not to scare you but to let you know that despite the pain, you are not alone and there are tools you can use to be more gentle. This work is deeply spiritual, so in this episode I empower you to focus on the peace and not the pace.

YOG45: The Freedom To Restart.
Many of us are stuck in our perfectionism, which often means that we give up on ourselves far too quickly. We should and could ourselves with shameful thoughts and then become afraid to try again.

YOG40: Surrender to self love.
When our life experience has been dominated by pain, its hard to trust others, our Higher Power, ourselves. This mistrust makes us vulnerable to the insanity of trying to control everything. Many of us are so used to suffering that it feels hard to open up to wonder of what it means to be human.
In this podcast, I talk about the power of surrender. Surrender is when we allow ourselves to take small loving actions to self nurture even when it feels uncomfortable and we're afraid of the outcome.
