#37 Taking Care of Yourself Amidst Global Crises

In this very spontaneous and un-edited episode, I talk about taking care of yourself and your mental health amidst these heavy, strange times. Not only are we in the middle of a pandemic still, and most of us also still in lockdown and are we engaging in the intense and important conversations surrounding Black Lives Matter, but it’s also eclipse season (plus a bunch of retrogrades and all of that…). 

 We are literally being asked astrologically to slow down, surrender and let the Universe do her thang, whilst on the other hand we are being asked to engage in protest & debate, whilst on ANOTHER hand (I mean, we only have two!) the pandemic is still demanding most of us to live our lives differently than we used to. Phew, it’s a lot. 

And it’s okay to feel like this is a lot.

I hope that from this episode you’ll take away that if you don’t rest, you also cannot fight. In the words of @feministsexed, ‘Rest is not the enemy of change. It is one part of its fuel’. 
I also talk about Rachel Cargle in this episode (see her website and her Instagram). Plus, I mention April Harter’s @racismrecoverycenter. 

More resources will be shared as I engage in conversation with friends and colleagues on these topics.

My intention with this podcast and the Spiritual Fem community moving forward is to emphasise their inclusivity and diversity whilst also acknowledging that it is founded and run by me, someone who experiences privileges from many angles. That’s okay – it just means I have all the more reason to step up and also use this platform to help other women step up too. 

 I invite you to ask yourself ‘what is it that I need right now?’ more often moving forward. I truly believe that’s at the root of honouring who we are and all we can do to make the world a better place.
