    040 | Jessamyn Stanley: Love Thy Ass + Wellness Gone Mad

    The first time I heard Jessamyn Stanley speak in 2019, I immediately felt like I could trust this woman to hold it dowwwwwwn when it came to representing some of my most important beliefs, no matter who was or wasn't in the room.

     

    She’s an award-winning yoga instructor and intersectional activist with a heavy PASSION for diversity + inclusion in the self-care space.

     

    There’s so much laughter and memorable dialogue in this episode about why yoga in the west was initially more embraced by white folks, why in her words "self-hatred is such a boring distraction," advice for those uncomfortable with the word 'fat' and hella more. 

     

    I hope you enjoy this convo as much as I did.

     

    Per usual, I’m very thankful for your support! If you loved this episode please consider leaving a rating, review and sharing with your people! 

     

    You can also hit me up on social media, I’m @itstracyg everywhere and Jessica can be found @mynameisjessamyn. Appreciation overload!

    039 | Jessica Dore: Mystical Girl, Material World

    Celebrated tarot practitioner, Jessica Dore is a woman who reminds me on the daily that the internet can be a soulful place. In her words she’s “interested in using tarot cards to help people understand the interplay between internal and external life and to behave flexibly and in alignment with what is most precious.”

     

    In my words: she’s a psychology / mysticism appreciator’s wet dream. 

     

    We talk about why tarot has had such a profound comeback during modern day times, her very unique morning routine, what the energy of lust, anger and grief have taught her and so much more.

     

    Jess has delighted my heart and stretched my brain and you need some of that. Enjoy. 

     

    If you love what you hear, please consider rating and sharing this podcast if you haven’t already. I can be found everywhere on social @itstracyg and send Jess some love! She’s @thejessicadore everywhere as well. 

     

    Per usual, I’m very thankful for your support!

    038 | Thrills And Potions: His + Hers Relationship Q&A

    For this episode, I’m in convo with the human I’ve been merrily monogamous with for 4 years to date, Carl Joseph-Black. If you follow me on Instagram, you know Carl's been invaluable to my personal development. Since much of this community has been curious about some more details on our union, we’re going to answer questions from yall taken directly from IG Stories.


    As with prior episodes of this season, we recorded this one pre-covid19 so unfortunately we won’t have the stories and lessons and the bigass fight that happened during our time locked down in our Brooklyn apartment to share with yall lolol. But trust, if you’re currently in a relationship or manifesting a relationship or just nosy about why the fuck I love this dude… keep listening.


    Per usual, if you enjoy this episode, please leave a rating + review, tell me on social media (@itstracyg) and share with a friend. This podcast is independently produced and every drop of naturally positive feedback from you makes a big impact.


    Also, if you wanna follow Carl he's @cjoeblack everywhere! xx TG
