🖤✊🏽 ✌️ We live in a world that is so rich - filled with chances to move beyond tolerance to deep understanding and love.

I don’t know how many of you know that many moons ago I got a degree from Sydney University in modern history.

The particular focus of my studies was social and cultural history.

I learned a lot about settler societies about black history in America, Aboriginal history here, and women’s history all over the world.

One of the most well received papers I submitted quoted Public Enemy lyrics. I am pretty sure that was a first for my lecturers in 1990!

All of that to say that Modern rap and hip-hop is as much social commentary as it is Pop culture and generational healing.
_________

So this year during I want to share how the same principles of understanding and expansion can inform so much of our allyship.

I don’t often say it aloud but cultural responsiveness is a core value of all that I do and one of the reasons I work with women in a therapeutic space is to help us open up to each other, to differenc, and recognise that what we all share and what we all have in common as human beings far outweighs our differences.

❤️‍🩹When we heal ourselves we heal 7 generations prior and the 7 ahead of us.

…ultimately we all need to feel seen heard and safe.

That how somatic healing and hip hop and the origins of rap come together for me. They represent people of colour making sense of the their past and claiming their future.

Just look at and you’ll see what I’m saying.

Culture is important. Let’s talk more about it in the comments ✊🏽✌️🖤

Shout out to the pioneers Mos Def, Monie Love, Bahamadia, , and more!

🌩️ On weathering life's storms....

Do you get to control the 'weather'? Absolutely not.
Do you get to control the debris after the storm, still no.

However, do you get to find help in navigating your way home to yourself? Well yes as a matter of fact you do.

If it's your business that is letting you down, your relationships, your parenting, social life, or career... they are all a reflection of your own ability to make choices and change.

If we want to be agile, and fearless (or at least free from the limiting consequence of our fears), we first need to now ourselves inside and out.

From there, that radical self acceptance, we come back to what IS possible, rather than living beneath the specture of what ISN'T.

No reality changes from the same mindset that created it....
Reach out when you're ready so we can explore this more together. I have free 20-minute slots for new connections available from time to time and I LOVE sharing my somatic frameworks to support women in shifting to their next gear without the need for hope marketing, expensive coaching, or hustling harder.

Here are some reasons to try new things (and one of the BIGGEST reasons I do what I do).

There's no shame in your desires for....

Freedom.
Shifts.
Permission to be your actual self.

Utter gold. Message me to see how I can offer some of these to you, anytime you're ready.

It can be simple, AND true. Difference of perspectives is IMPORTANT.

Especially when it comes to growth, healing and recovery...

The start to the year might be a power surge or it might be a gentle self-nurture… or anything in between.

Here is a recipe for easy gut health. Let me know I’d this is of interest in the c8mments 🤍

It doesn't have to be difficult, or expensive, to bring excellent gut health into your home.

When reflecting on her 50-year-school-reunion, shared these words in her article for the ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"...once you have accepted yourself, perhaps it becomes much easier to accept everyone else."

Perhaps, YES.

We are all born with equal capacity for JOY. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Life may tame that joy, and keep us from remembering it but at some stage, we must remember it is there in order to keep loving the skin we are in.

The goal of any kind of self-development process is to be vulnerable enough, in a safe enough space, that you can find your way back to your own true essence.

It isn't about getting stuck in the trauma of what happened (remembered or denied).

It is about deciding to use that past, or that hurt, as a springboard, as the fodder, to grow and change.

Here's the kicker though - it doesn't generally happen to lone wolves.

Accepting that our evolution hits differently when you are guided or held by another trusted ally, or a community of trusted allies is the underpinning of long-lasting shifts.

It is the collaboration, the shared and relational processes that really work. THis is researched, not just made up (and it's what a lot of conventional treatments lack in this era).

It is in relationship with ourselves and with others on a parth of healing that we remember who we are. Joy, and all.

There are only a few hours left to join the safe, supportive, self-development program that I offer.

There's an intimate (powerhouse) group of women waiting to welcome you.

It's easy to join, and you can cancel anytime.
(link is this: www.alenaturley.com/join or use the one in my bios).

It's been lovely having you here whilst we opened ourselves up again. Thank you, beautiful.
