Episode 3 in the first installment of Confessions of a Trap Yogi and we switch it up a little bit. In our convo we go over some of the issues with having sensitive triggers and reflect on how to fine-tune our fuses before we set it off over some beef that really isn't beef. Before I get into it though I send a heartfelt shout out to my people in my life that have been holding me down this week, and share some of my favorites follows on IG. This podcast was inspired by Crucial Conflict no doubt and I leave you with a hip-hop affirmation from the dopest lady lyricist in life....Queen Bahamadia.

I chat it up with some Hip Hop Black History for BHM 2018 and send love to the family of Chicago rapper Fredo Santana and to everyone celebrating the life of J.Dilla who was so inspirational his beats live in our hearts.

L.O.V.E. that is Me

Episode 5 I'm joined by Shea @hippiebumpeace from @maroonvillage! We chat it up with some ripped from the headlines and our girl Eryka Badu who ruffled feathers with her recent comments. We have moments of reflections and get into how our practices have helped us in our relationships. Granted your girl isn't a yoga bae LOL but I share some stories and get at the heart of how this practice has changed me, helped me come correct in the matters of love. Shea and I had a dope time together. Her and Rich (baddy hubby lol) have been growing their family and practice together. So we are super lucky to have her insight as she's living in a new body, with new tools to have a fresh perspective on how she deals with the love of her life. We finish up with our hip hop quotable Method & Mary.

Check Yourself Before You Check Your Mate

I confess meditation, yoga, and mindfulness has changed my life. Welcome to the podcast and playlist. I like to think of this as soundscaping for the soul. I'm a Chicago girl all day long, I'm a mom, an entrepreneur, I'm a doctoral candidate and so much more. Don't get it twisted I'm a yogi but don't push me LOL...this practice has so much to offer and I've loved every second of being a trap yoga teacher. Confessions is about being real and using the wisdom from some of our most phenomenal rappers and music artists. Music moves me, calms me, inspires me, lifts me up and is my companion in moments where my feelings don't translate into words. Music is the spirit of life and we can miss so many lessons because we are stuck in the hooks. We all are in control of how we move through our lives....like GZA said "Life's a script I'm not an actor I'm the author". It's time to write your own narrative and let these lyrics move your head and your heart.
