I sit down to share this raw cosmic download on self-expression, creativity and what I have coined(using this expression since 2018) remembrance codes✨Get some water, your journal and come down the rabbit hole with me 💜

22.Let your freak flag fly.

⚠️Trigger warning⚠️: Talk of drug addiction!
I am thrilled to be able to present to you, Artist, Death doula, writer, cosmic criatura Eva Arriaga.
We discuss Eva’s biggest shift and awakening that led to her getting sober which led to her discovering spirituality and accepting her very real and intense human emotions without running or distracting herself from them. She takes us through her first NA meeting and opening up about her addiction to her Latina family.
Boundaries,heartbreak, imposter syndrome, being radically honest with ourselves and others, exploring this journey and I remind Eva of a moment we had in Toronto where I had a panic attack in the middle of the 420 parade and her swooping in to make sure I was okay. 
Eva is a fierce and gentle force to be reckoned with and a very talented published author whose book “The Boy Beside the Sea: A Place of Love Remembered” is currently in my library and comes out during those dark rainy winter days when I’m in my feels.
Seriously, you’re going to want to keep an eye for volume 2.

20. Using Human Design as an empowerment tool with Alyssa Troob,RDN

This is the kind of chat you want to roll one for (and Mansur did just that during this chat) haha.
Get a glimpse into the brilliant mind and soul of a revolutionary soul, paving their own ways of being in this World.
We chat from all things cultural hybridity and being raised in different parts of the world AND the United States, breaking out of pre-structured molds, questioning these molds and authoritative figures, identity shifting, healing out loud and quietly, honouring the cycles, creativity and so much more.
This beautiful interaction is so wholesome that I’m smiling right now listening to it all over again.

19. Identity Shifting, healing and everything in between with Mansur of My culture My Rules

Ryli (https://www.instagram.com/rylipelchat/) messaged me wanting to share this part of her story, I have to be honest with you, I had no idea what to expect. I met Ryli through the fitness industry and know her as a competitive fitness athlete. So I found it brave of her to want to openly talk about something at first glance contradicts a huge part of her life, but also something that most of us don’t really know much about. All I know about eating disorders have been from movies and tv shows, so this chat was eye opening for me, to say the least.
She takes us on her journey from before being diagnosed, to physical symptoms that seemed to come out of nowhere, leading to acknowledging past traumatic experiences, and forming an intimate bond not just with food but with her body. We dive into support, being let down by “professionals” who only saw her file but not her as person, community, being vulnerable with those around you without making yourself small, emotional resiliency and so much more.

18. My Battle With Anorexia, as told by Ryli Pelchat⚠️

I am acutely aware of how discussing certain topics like NUDITY can bring up feelings of shame and guilt, can have you react and want to push away from this uncomfortable topic, something that is still very taboo in our society. By taking a moment, setting an intention to simply listen, you are giving yourself the opportunity to just be. No need to take on the beliefs of others as THE truth, but hopefully to be able respect them as THEIR truth.
—————————-
The Power Of Nudity and specifically the Female Form is a topic I am intimately connected with. As a former art nude model,connecting to my nude body in front of a lens and sometimes in front of several photographers at once revealed something inside of me, helped me to reclaim and simultaneously shatter the illusion of my sensuality.. there is so much to unpack here and Kris of (https://www.instagram.com/8bl00m00n/) and I go in. As immigrants from Haiti(me)& Lebanon(Kris), we bonded over the bold steps we took years ago in Toronto(where we met)to shed our clothing and the weight of our cultural upbringing. Kris talks about their struggles with the university education system, discovering a course about Nudity and studying the history of public nudity.
As a fellow revolutionary renaissance soul and badass, Kris continues to shatter the illusions of limiting self AND soul expressions in their own way.
This is the kind of chat, you’ll come back to over and over again to have your mind blown.
——- Check out the many medium of Kris’ potent expressions including their poetry, Arabic rap, belly dancing and more. (Kris’ tik tok will have you hypnotized,don’t say I didn’t warn you)!

17. Reclaiming our body through Nudity with Kris aka Abystars♾

We’ve all, at one point or another had to have a very intense conversation, and we’ll keep having them. In this chat, meet two of my favourite humans @Antwane of (https://www.instagram.com/officialhightophamlett/) and his wife/partner Silvia (https://www.instagram.com/fitlife_silvia/) & how after over 8 years, had one of these intense conversations.

✨We talk about their individual paths, their love story, business partnership, their faith and the ways in which they show up in the World. ✨
Just a heads up, it’ll be difficult for you not to laugh and cry along with us haha. As you get a glimpse of their personalities, I hope you remember that you are deserving and worthy of speaking your truth, always.
Antwane and Sylvia are both/have both been fitness athletes, they are the owners of https://www.instagram.com/fitlifeathletics/
Ant is an IFBBPro who is finally stepping into the spotlight as a posing coach for athletes
Sylvia is a plant dealer (I just love saying this) with her company https://www.instagram.com/silsconcretejungle/
And they are all around authentic, passionate and kind folks.
✨✨✨✨✨

We’ve all, at one point or another had to have a very intense conversation.
I’ve done it when I was 19 and told my very Haitian mother that I was pregnant 😰, when I sat down with my program advisor and admitted I was too sensitive to follow through on becoming a social worker even though I’ve always known I wanted to help people, quitting jobs, letting potential romantic ties know I wasn’t feeling the same,and again and again and again with the tough icky conversations.
And these conversations are made tougher by the stories we tell ourselves, aren’t they? And to have some semblance of control over the situation or circumstances, because what we’re really afraid of is the unknown of “what if their reaction is completely different than the scenarios I’ve made up in my mind? “ afraid of the rejection of our truths, afraid of hurting someone else by our truths.
So we sometimes decide to hurt ourselves instead. I hope hearing about Silvia’s inner turmoil gives you the nudge you may need to have your own intense uncomfortable conversation and that you receive the response you never could’ve imagined 💜

As always, these chats are to remind you that you are not alone.

I met Sarah of https://www.instagram.com/coach_sarahjessicataylor/ through the fitness industry during one of our trip to Vancouver and we’ve kept in touch throughout the years .
In 2019, we re-united again in Vancouver! Even though her hair and makeup for her Photoshoot was done by yours truly 🙋🏽‍♀️, all I can remember is the conversation we had!
I love love love talking to this human because she holds nothing back 👏🏽
In this chat, you get a peek of Sarah’s numerous Shifts, from a moment when she was 12 and became aware of the control she had over her body, to being the “perfect” student in school, living in Toronto with the perfect life and feeling so disconnected, the chance she took to move to a new province and start her life again, her bipolar diagnosis, going deeper into the fitness industry and competing as an athlete leading to burnout and a discovery of holistic alternative medicine, and so much more.

Kristina (https://www.instagram.com/vatrawellness/) and I have followed each other’s lives, careers, and numerous shifts over the past 5 years or so via social media so this chat had to happen!
As a yoga and meditation instructor/practitioner and soon to be reiki practitioner, Kristina is paving her own way in the Wellness Field.
We discuss Kristina’s confidence from a young age, her secret years of being bullied, choosing a different path over and over again, forgiveness and having your own back while cultivating a sacred community, and walking away from toxic ties in the spiritual community.
So much laughter, real life wisdoms and good energy here ✨at certain points it felt like I was talking to myself 😭 safe to say we might’ve just become best friends on this live 🤣 seriously, she’s coming to Montreal for a visit ! Gotta love these soul connections ✨
