friday flow: courage within

In this meditation, we are focusing on building strength, faith, courage, and self-belief. These affirmations aren’t just words — they’re tools for facing challenges, embracing change, and growing into the person you’re meant to be.There’s a deeply emotional moment during a meditation where I was moved to tears by the support of good friends and my own ability to believe in myself. It’s a raw, honest flow about how/why to love ourselves more fully, push through self-doubt, and truly believe in our worth, especially when life feels heavy. Whether you’re struggling with self-doubt or simply seeking more clarity and strength, these affirmations and insights can be the reminder you need to keep moving forward.

In Volume lV of Badass Women in Herstory, we’re looking at five unstoppable forces. From battlefields to hidden identities to underground networks, these women weren’t just ahead of their time — they bent time to their will. We’re talking about Queen Amanirenas of Kush, the one-eyed warrior queen who humiliated the Roman Empire and made sure they never forgot it. And Dr. James Barry..? Born Margaret Anne Bulkley, this trailblazer lived in stealth as a man for decades, performing the first successful C-section in the British Empire and leaving the patriarchy shooketh when the truth came out!!We’ll also meet Princess Khutulun, the Mongol warrior who literally wrestled her way out of every forced marriage proposal, Ida B. Wells, the fearless journalist who made lynching impossible to ignore, and Irena Sendler, the Polish social worker who risked her life to smuggle over 2,000 children out of the Warsaw Ghetto under Nazi rule. Tap in to hear how these women rewrote the rules, subverted empires, and left history trying to catch up. BISH YASS!!

Oh, an in-depth conversation with a researcher from the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction you say?  YEAH WE HAVE THAT HERE.  In this first part of my conversation with Melissa Blundell Osorio, a researcher at the prestigious Kinsey Institute, we dive into her fascinating journey that led her to work with the renowned Sex Museum in Miami and eventually pursue a PhD at the Kinsey Institute. We explore the vital role of sex museums in educating the public and breaking down the stigma surrounding sexuality. Melissa also shares her insights on misconceptions about sexuality, and we discuss the critical distinction between pornography and sexual education. Get ready for a deep, insightful conversation filled with valuable lessons about how we can shift our thinking and approach when it comes to sexual health and education.

Spur of the moment recording no main topic no main theme. I just quickly sat down and released whatever needed to be released.  The title came after the flow did.Everything that I touched on…I know I’m not alone in this.

every time I think “ maybe people are getting sick of these type types of  episodes,” I pause for a minute before I start going in on the next round of detailed research – and then almost immediately I am given this beautiful sensation.“Why haven’t I heard of these women?”  What the fuck lol honestly though. Did you know that there have been analysis of textbook/history books and across many countries the male characters/references out number female ones by more than two to one. In one study of over 1200 English language textbooks, there were over 178,000 male coded words versus 82,000 female coded words MEANING about 68% of gendered content is about men or boys and only 32% is about women or girls.Seeing  ourselves matters, seeing our gender represented matters. Seeing our gender identity, represented matters, seeing our sexual orientation matters.  When girls don’t see themselves  in history, research shows extremely negative outcomes; lower self-esteem and self image, limitations on identity and aspirations, mental health issues, and internalization of stereotypes. Let’s pass it on to them. 

Law of attraction! A lot of of what I write and create are based in topics and themes that I need to be supported with as well. Trying to attract my soul tribe.

And I want to keep evolving, so do the people that I know.This heart-centered set is about attracting, recognizing, and cherishing the soul-aligned people who make up your chosen family. It affirms that connection is sacred, and that you are magnetic to supportive, loving relationships. Whether you’re calling in your soul tribe or nurturing the ones already here, these affirmations root you in community, celebration, and belonging.
