This week, I’m joined by the phenomenal Tammaka Staley — a spoken word artivist, sex educator, and healing justice practitioner ✨🌈.

Together, we share a raw and unfiltered conversation on healing, navigating sexuality, and resisting systemic oppression.

🎙️ With deep honesty and vulnerability, Tammaka reminds us that healing isn’t just personal — it’s collective, cultural, and revolutionary.

Pull up a seat — this session is about truth-telling, resilience, and reclaiming wholeness.

In this week’s conversation, we’re going deeper than just surface-level healing. We're talking about the inner work, the mindset shifts, the untangling of perfectionism, and the journey of self-awareness through different healing arts modalities.

🌱 What does it look like to heal when the wounds aren't visible?
🧠 How do our thoughts and beliefs shape our healing process?
💫 And how can tools like energy work, somatic practices, or mindfulness truly help?

Our guest brings insight, compassion, and a deep knowledge of integrative healing sharing how these practices can unlock clarity, peace, and growth for anyone open to the journey.

This is an episode for the thinkers, the feelers, the ones ready to soften into healing.

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down for a conversation that weaves together the tender threads of becoming a life coach, building a marriage as a queer couple with a trans partner, and parenting through one of the most heartbreaking experiences a family can face—a child’s leukemia diagnosis.

This is a story of resilience.
Of choosing love again and again.
Of navigating trauma, illness, identity, and hope—without a roadmap.

We talk about:

• How the path to life coaching began with personal unraveling and redefinition

• What it means to build a trans-affirming, spiritually grounded marriage

• How our family endured the long nights and quiet faith of caring for a child with cancer

• The power of healing work—for ourselves, and others

• And how grace found us not in perfection, but in presence.

• Whether you're navigating your own transformation, parenting through the unknown, or simply longing for a story that makes room for complexity and joy, this episode offers a space to breathe and believe again.
