In this live I share the tea about what we will be studying in the Sacred Sista Sanctuary Mastermind this month. The Financial Therapy topics are.
6 July: : Money, deprivation and hoarding. Are you being stingy with yourself?
13 July: Money, jealously and envy. Do you find it hard to celebrate others?
20 July: : Confronting your internal oppressor. How does this part of yourself sabotage your abundance?
27 July: : Exploring the relationship between your self worth and your net worth.
In this live, I continue the conversation from part 1 on the importance of cherishing our black bodies and the significance of building relationships within our community. Drawing from personal experiences and observations, we will explore how our internalised oppression can impact the way we treat ourselves and others. By examining these issues, I aim to shed light on the challenges faced by black businesses in building relationships with clients (given our traumatic relational history) and encourage a shift towards a deeper valuing of ourselves and our community.
This week I had an interesting experience at a beauty salon and barbers where I gained some new incites to share with you around the relationship with have with black bodies and detachment we have as a result of oppressive systems.
Living inside systems of oppression is a huge issue for many of us so in this live I talk about how I’ve built my confidence over the years both personally and professionally.
In today’s live I’m continuing the conversation about the business side of therapy by talking to student therapists. I share all the tea about how to navigate the training as a black student and the reality of how they get exploited and what to do about it.
Following on from the previous session about the challenges in this business, today I’m talking about why I love being a therapist!
I’ve had quite a few questions from people asking about the business side of being a therapist, so I’ll be spending the next few days talking about being an entrepreneur. Today I’m talking about the challenges I face in doing this tender work.
Today’s live answer’s a question from one of my new clients who wanted me to share thoughts on the importance of having a sacred space and/or altar to do our inner work. There are so many reasons why this is an essential part of the process so grab a pen and paper as there are lots of nuggets and journal prompts to note.
One of the reasons why so many of us are suffering is because we are in situations that are not reciprocal. We are surrounded by people and places who gorge on our energy leaving us feeling drained, resentful and untrusting. In this live I talk about the principle of reciprocity that the ancient goddess Ma’at tells us is essential for our personal and collective growth.
Many of the clients I work with are unable to say what they want because they are unclear about what they need. They often say that no one had ever asked them before so I often get blank faces and long pauses as the reality of not understanding or knowing what their needs are hit home. This is always an aha moment for me because it means that conversations going forward will begin the unravelling of them seeing themselves with a new sense of curiosity about want they want. In this live I talk about the importance of stepping back to explore your needs so you can step forward and claim what you deserve with clarity.
