22. You Are Magic & Fear is Never the Truth

The sound of the thing you are called by, and choosing a name with multilayered meaning

From outcast to leader

What being the daughter of an immigrant taught Yaya about communication & self expression

When you realize you're magic

Making the radical choice to express the way you really feel (that way, if people hate you, at least they hate the real you and not a false impression of who they assume you are) (also, that way, you attract the exact right people into your life)

Why dreams are real, our favorite dream teacher/writer, & how to work with your dreams (and nightmares)

Fear is never the truth

Magic, nature, and layers & layers of ancestral depth ("I feel like I have an intact ancestral identity in a way I didn't even three years ago")

Healing chronic pain

Sensory overload and how "there's a lot of undeniably magical things happening all the time, but life is loud"

Navigating the world as an empath/Highly Sensitive Person

A lot of chronic conditions are due to long term nervous system overwhelm

Herbal body oiling

How a radical diet change healed Yaya's endocrine (hormonal) and nervous system

It's good to do things that our ancestors would recognize from their time on earth

Shapeshifting mythical archetypes & fields of consciousness

Discovering your own relationship with the plant realm
