I help therapists, healers, and space-holders bring decolonial and liberatory values into their work—so you’re not just saying you’re aligned… you’re actually practicing it. ⬆️ More integrity, more connection, more liberation. ⬇️ Less burnout, less performative wokeness, less colonial residue. If you want a practice where marginalized clients feel safe, seen, and honored—and you want to feel more grounded and intentional in your work—subscribe and join a growing community of practitioners doing this work differently. You practice can be liberatory-- let's get you there!
And we're back!

May 2026 | issue #7 hey there, i’m trying something new…to honor my boundaries, i’m experimenting with moving The POL to the first monday of the month. i’m also practicing a bit of self-grace—and modeling it, too. meaning: if you don’t receive The POL on the first monday, it likely means i needed to allocate some of my bandwidth (time, energy, or nervous system capacity) to other parts of my full life—and you’ll receive it on the first tuesday instead. you’ll still be getting everything that...
