Hi there Beautiful, Welcome to "Nature's Wisdom" segment, where we explore the magic and wonder of Mother Nature. Today, we are talking about trees. I love the forest and the woods. As a child, I've always been drawn to trees. Their magic, wonder and majesty always intrigued me. Today we're gonna be talking about the benefit of trees and why I love and enjoy them so much. This conversation was inspired by childhood, awe and wonder,  @mpricemsw  and "The Hidden Life of Trees" by Peter...

Hi there Beautiful, What makes your body beautiful? Do you know how beautiful and miraculous your body actually is? your body is beautiful and I'll prove it without the white male gaze. Let's talk about how magical your body is. much love, joy and peace, Alecia 🌺 "Negro Women to be Put to Work": https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-greenville-news-negro-women-to-be-pu/38314573/?locale=en-US 🌈RAGE EP: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aleciarenece.bandcamp.com/album/rage⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🌈...

Hi there Beautiful, Growing up is a trap. Do you even know who you are? Or are you playing a part assigned to you? Many of us loose trust in ourselves because we were forced to grown up? But who do you want to be when you grow up? What are your dreams? Let's talk about it. much love, joy and peace, Alecia 🌺 "Negro Women to be Put to Work": https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-greenville-news-negro-women-to-be-pu/38314573/?locale=en-US 🌈RAGE...

Hi there Beautiful, Black woman, save the world by saving yourself. Many Black women are trying to save the world, but what if saving the world begins by saving yourself? Resistance doesn't just mean withstanding. Resistance is leaving too. I am so excited to share this conversation with Roshida Dowe and Stephanie Perry as we talk about getting free and staying free. We'll also be talking about their 5th annual Exodus Summit 2024, where the focus is getting out of the country...

Hi there Beautiful, What if there are no rules? What if every rule is made up? trust your own creative process. follow your own intuition. I tried Julia Cameron's Morning Pages in The Artist's Way, and it no longer works for me. I thought I was a failure, but then I gave myself permission to trust my own process and follow my own creative intuition. Could following the rules be killing your creativity? much love, joy and peace, Alecia 🌺 "Negro Women to be Put to Work":...

Hi there Beautiful, In this segment of "A Kinder World", we'll be talking about the age old adage "Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words may never hurt me" and how it's a complete lie. Our words are powerful. They have the power to destroy and encourage. Our words can speak life and they can kill. How will you use your power? much love, joy and peace, Alecia 🌺 "Negro Women to be Put to Work":...

Hi there Beautiful, In this Black Girl Creative Segment, we talk about how Disappointment sucks. Let's talk about it. Disappointment is inevitable as an artist. as an artist, you're allowed to be disappointed . Feel the feelings. There is no shame, here. Only love. This is how to deal with disappointment as an artist. Embrace disappointment to create more human art. much love, joy and peace, Alecia 🌺 "Negro Women to be Put to Work":...

Hi there Beautiful, Christianity terrorized me. I am healing from the terror of Christianity and the church and decolonizing my faith. I never realized how traumatizing my Christian walk has been in my life, but this is the first time in years that I actually feel FREE. I'm free, no more chains holding me. I hope that you get something from this healing journal entry. much love, joy and peace, Alecia 🌺 "Negro Women to be Put to Work":...

Hi there Beautiful, You are a good thing. This is a guided affirmation and meditation session for Black women. Slow down. Take a deep breath. Whether you need a moment to pause, be still, catch your breath, or show yourself some well needed self care, use this as a virtual resting place. much love, joy and peace, Alecia 🌈RAGE EP: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aleciarenece.bandcamp.com/album/rage⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🌈 Get my Book, Black Girl Creative...

Hi there Beautiful, My Great Grandmother was the first person to model rest for me. She taught me so much in her life; live slowly, savor your life, rest well and so much more. It is a joy to be able to share my Granny's wisdom and legacy with you. How are you honoring and remembering your ancestors? much love, joy and peace, Alecia 🌺 "Negro Women to be Put to Work": https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-greenville-news-negro-women-to-be-pu/38314573/?locale=en-US 🌈RAGE...

Hi there Beautiful, Centering myself is actually really hard. Learning how to center yourself after centering and prioritizing others can cause you to forget to center and prioritize yourself. Some of us are still learning how to love ourselves well and give ourselves what we need to flourish and heal. I'm sending you so much love, grace and joy. As a recovering people pleaser and "servant", learning how to navigate delf love can be tough. much love, joy and peace, Alecia 🌺 "Negro...

Hi there Beautiful, be gentle with yourself. you are not a machine. you're not lazy, you're just tired, exhausted, depleted, weary, human. you are worthy. you are so important. we need you to rest. you are worthy of rest, love, care, play and pleasure. much love, joy and peace, Alecia 🌺 "Negro Women to be Put to Work": https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-greenville-news-negro-women-to-be-pu/38314573/?locale=en-US 🌈RAGE...

Hi there Beautiful, You're not lazy, you're just tired. are you beating yourself up for being human? do you feel guilty when you're resting? do you feel shame around rest and relaxation? you're not alone. hustle culture makes us feel like we're not doing enough. It's never enough enough. you have to give yourself permission to rest. much love, joy and peace, Alecia 🌈RAGE EP: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aleciarenece.bandcamp.com/album/rage⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🌈 Get my Book, Black Girl...

Hi there Beautiful, "Do you want to be liked or do you want to be free?" That's the question I asked myself when I was struggling with loving myself and seeing the value and beauty within myself. I've changed the name of the podcast because I have work to do. I have a whole person to be and become and I'm afraid. I'm afraid of rejection and falling into oblivion, but what I want more than anything else is to be at home with myself and love myself well. I have no idea what I'm doing and I...

Hi there Beautiful, Apathy won't save you. Pretending not to care will not protect you. You should care.

Hi there Beautiful, "No one will love you until you love yourself" and other harmful things we say like "People treat you how you allow them to treat you", or "you can't love anyone unless you love yourself" can actually cause more harm than good. We end up victim blaming the victim in these scenarios, when they were not the ones at fault. Their only crime was expecting the world to not be a hard and cruel place. Some people are too kind for this world... and that is not their fault....

Hi there Beautiful, I am a survivor of sexual assault and I wrote a song about healing from and surviving sexual assault. This is my story. I have transformed my fear, pain and shame (that didn't belong to me) into art and I hope this is encouraging to those still healing. This song is dedicated to all of my fellow survivors out there. I see you and love you. much love, joy and peace, Alecia 🌈 Listen to "In Your Prison" https://aleciarenece.bandcamp.com/track/in-your-prison RAGE 🌈...

Hi there Beautiful, Generational Curses are often talked about, but what about Generational Blessings?  @CoachYolanda  spoke about generational blessings, and it invited me to sit and consider all of the beautiful gifts I've inherited from my ancestors.

Hi there Beautiful, Slow down to live more. Slow is Love. This is the art of slowing down. I am a Black woman learning to slow down. I've always wanted to live slowly, but embracing slow living has been difficult. Going slowly and slowing down is a way to love yourself, your environment and people around you. much love, joy and peace, Alecia 🌈RAGE EP: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aleciarenece.bandcamp.com/album/rage⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🌈 Get my Book, Black Girl Creative...

Hi there Beautiful, Over the years, I have shrunk to fit the mold men and patriarchy have set for me. Let's talk about how I have made myself small to help others to feel big. This conversation was inspired by the beautiful work of  @sixtyblackmystictraveler  . Thank you so much for your vulnerability and courage. I sincerely appreciate you!

Hi there Beautiful, You are better than the algorithm. This is a Black Girl Creative Rant about Capitalism, Creativity and Social Media, and why it's so hard to be creative online. I don't wanna create for an algorithm. I just wanna make stuff. You are better than the algorithm. Don't let is take your humanity. Capitalism ruins everything, but don't allow these algorithms to control you. share your art. Share your heart. Be messy. Stay human. much love, joy and...
