Those $300 Pair of Shoes Won't Heal You"

I graduated from College and left a harsh reality in Philly behind. I assumed that with a degree in hand and all the right trappings, I would find the healing that I so desperately wanted. I relocated to Atlanta because that is where all the African-American professionals were supposed to go, right? I assumed that self-love and deep down happiness would come if I was in the right city, had a good job, nice car, home, clothing, etc. It didn't and it was a smack in the face. It took me years of inner work to be able to really stand in the mirror naked and deeply LOVE ME. All of me. It took so much time for me to understand that if I did not have the foundation of Self-love and acceptance, I would not be able to live a life of Passion, Purpose, and Abundance. There were so many years that on the outside, I looked fabulous!!! but on the inside I was suffering.

It doesnt have to be this way. I am so pleased to announce a guest on this week's show. Her name is Saeeda Hafiz and she is the author of an amazing book called " The Healing". Its all about how she was able to find healing and true happiness in Yoga and holistic eating. She did not allow her dysfunctional past to stop her in her search to live an authentic life. I have stacks of books in my home that are unfinished. Hers is the first book that I have read in quite some time, that I bookbinged!! I literally could not put it down. I cooked, cleaned, and even changed diapers while reading it. Her words are an authentic account of what it took for her to step into her greatness and she truly shines like the magnificient woman that she is!

Tune in! Let's have a real discussion about living one's authentic self regardless of the trappings that advertisers sell to convince you that their products will give you happiness and healing!
