Over the last seven months I have dedicated myself to really diving in and going within. As I watch everything unfold in Minnesota and throughout the country I felt compelled to talk about spirituality and to talk about some of the things that we can do as we face all of this distribution, hatred and ugliness in the world. As always this space is a space to share our voice, our collective pain and celebrate our collective healing. I know that sometimes facing the day itself can feel tough but I want you to remember how sacred and divine you really are. We must stop listening to outside forces that try to minimize the divinity from which we truly originate. Please listen to the podcast with an open mind and an open heart. #lifecope #collectivehealing #spirituality https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCXvqTlrjH2kQ4fY18-aa-0SWNvdmHgf4

She dismantled the Europeans belief of the native people being blood thirsty savages and instead thru archeology and research showed the world the greatness of the Aztec people. Now on average 1.9 million people visit the Native city of Teotihuacan. This might of never been possible had it not been for the incredible work Zelia Nuttall did to change the European narrative.

Every New Years we have a tendency to set resolutions. Try to bring in the year thinking of all the hopes and dreams we have for it. That's lovely and all but what is a thought without action? Why is there a need to create new goals when we couldn't even keep the last years ones? Why do we continue to create unhealthy cycles? I am here to tell you that all that can stop today, if you're willing to actually put in the work. Redefine and realign your goals with true action. Let go of this pie in the sky mentality. Create the reality you want by taking action and taking reign of your life. Redefine, Align, Achieve!
