“What will be, will be.” 🌐|💖


It's a holiday weekend (May the 4th / Star Wars Day; Cinco de Mayo) 🎊 -- among many notable themes + cultures celebrated in May, it's also Mental Health Awareness Month.



1 in 4 people are experiencing mental health challenges or navigating mental illness. Despite the illuminating statistics, there is stigma/taboo that has always existed around mental health, leading to many people suffering/witnessing a preventable decline in quality of life or the unfortunate loss of life itself.


This episode will be published on 5/5 -- from a spiritual lens, 5 in numerology represents change, transformation, growth... in the spirit of a new month + clean slate, this episode features curated, conscious conversations with wisdom shared and different perspectives on how to proactively shift (individually and collectively) from hurt/harm to healing. A gentle reminder that the realm of mental health is universal and in some way, shape or form impacts us all. ☯ (more at: ⁠⁠www.ted.com⁠⁠)



How to Tap Into Your Awareness: Meditation asks you to slip into a state of serene presence. But why does something that sounds effortless often feel so difficult? In this lighthearted invitation, spiritual leader Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche shares steps to help you accept the ebb and flow of your emotions and learn to meditate anytime, anywhere.


Transforming Generational Trauma to Generational Healing: Board-certified physician and pediatrician Dr. Candice W. Jones addresses how trauma affects individuals medically, emotionally, and mentally -- as well as how it can be passed down from one generation to the next. Dr. Jones also shares the steps necessary for identifying and breaking the cycle to move toward health and wholeness.


Changing the Narrative of Mental Health: Legendary actor and mental health advocate Glenn Close is on a quest to change how we think about mental health, starting with her decision to speak out about her own family's struggles. In an enlightening conversation with TEDWomen curator Pat Mitchell, Close shares the inspiration behind the advocacy group she founded to combat the crisis, underscoring the transformative power of community and the critical need for comprehensive mental health care systems.

Episode 97 on April 7 -- it's the first episode of the new month + the eve of the April 8 Total Solar Eclipse, a divine symbol for energetic recalibration & renewal. 🌑🎉



The eclipse is a natural, gentle and timely reminder that the world/universe is vast with a plethora of people/places/spaces...



Having a moral compass is essential for navigating around/above/through inevitable detours that present themselves throughout life's journey. 🧭



Honoring integrity + authenticity in a society fueled by greed + cruelty is not easy nor status-quo. It takes high emotional intelligence, strength, courage, honesty and wisdom to remain composed against physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual attacks that may cross your path and try to (but shall not) obliterate your mind/body/soul/spirit along the way. 💡


Don't be afraid to set the pace, set a different example and eclipse toward a clean slate (recalibrate/renew) as many times as needed. You're never off-track, lost, mistaken or misguided when you're genuine, empathetic, just, sincere, compassionate, kind to others or true to yourself -- you're Liberated... quite often there's no traffic along the extra mile. 🗺️


Eclipse. Keep exploring. Reset. Rebuild where you are, Revisit where you've been, Reroute your direction or Relocate if you must -- every being on this Earth and beyond deserves to peacefully live, learn, lead and bloom where they belong. 🌌



-------------



In the spirit of Recalibration & Renewal, this episode features gems of wisdom from Sadghuru Vasudev (spiritual educator, author, speaker and founder of the Isha Foundation) + Dr. Michael B. Beckwith (minister, author, founder and director of the Agape International Spiritual Center) on how to maneuver, heal, grow and transform any negativity/oppression thrown your way into a positive/healthy new beginning. ☯ (more at: agapelive.com + isha.sadghuru.org)

Welcome back! After a break filled with work, play, rest and travel -- UGT returns on Resurrection Day / Easter Sunday (crossover with Ramadan as well). It's also the end of the month -- a great time as any to reflect and envision/prepare for what's next. 🎉

Easter = Rebirth 🌜🌞🌛 -- resilience, meaning and direction; the opportunity to start over + rebuild no matter what life throws your way...

In the spirit of the holiday, this episode features a talk from Oprah Winfrey (a UGT fave) with trauma therapist, minister, and author Dr. Anita Phillips about her New York Times bestselling new book, "The Garden Within: Where the War with Your Emotions Ends and Your Most Powerful Life Begins." As Oprah guides the conversation, Dr. Anita paints the picture of how embracing emotions (rather than suppressing them) + navigating emotions in a healthy way contributes toward living our most powerful life. Blending faith, the latest discoveries in neurobiology and her own research, Dr. Anita shares how to cultivate our internal garden + reach a desired state of mental/emotional/spiritual well-being. ☯ (more at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠oprah.com/app/super-soul-sunday⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” 🌐|💖 - Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.



Happy (belated) 2024 🎉 -- it feels great to be back after a break, and it's MLK holiday weekend in the states! (*MLK National Day of Service: Monday, 1/15*)

Considering the current state of conflict throughout the world and recent attempts to dismantle anti-oppression initiatives, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life, global/universal legacy + vision for diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, justice, and peace resonate now as much as (perhaps more than) ever.

We're long overdue for a paradigm shift in our systems... Rather than resorting to tearing people/places/things/spaces down as a means to an end, what if conflict was explored with the intention for everyone to win, as reasonably as possible? Instead, what if we built the world + each other up? 💡

Each day is a fresh start and a chance to recalibrate our own vision for justice + definition of authentic living -- especially in the spirit of the new year. Ultimately, the elements of Dr. King's mission were intrinsic motivations, cultivated from within. How can each of us begin to nurture / continue to nurture that energy within ourselves, while giving others permission to do the same in their own way in 2024 (and beyond)? Injustice (misalignment) that stems from the inner self, whether directed toward ourselves or others, is indeed a threat to justice everywhere...

This curated episode features a recent CBS News interview with the renowned Oprah Winfrey where she answers these existential questions, explores overcoming challenges/conflict + life lessons, travels the road to "happier-ness" and highlights practical/spiritual/uplifting mental health tips from her new book co-authored with Harvard professor and social scientist, Arthur C. Brooks, "Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier." ☯ (more at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠cbsnews.com/person-to-person⁠⁠⁠)

“There are no traffic jams along the extra mile.” 🌐|💖 #AuthenticLiving #ActsOfService



Yesterday (11/11) was Veteran's Day. Today (11/12) is Diwali. Tomorrow (11/13) is World Kindness Day. Taking great care of yourself and the world around you is inspired by (and rooted in) honorable Service. 💡

What does Service mean to you and how does it manifest in your life? Is your definition of service integrated into living in ways that feel authentic and genuine to you/U? What no longer serves you? What serves you now? What could serve you in the future?

New Month Energy continues for November ✨ -- UGT is back with a fresh collective energy reading highlighting Acts of Service as a love language and beyond, perspectives on strengthening/enhancing the acts of service you are currently giving/receiving, and how to approach acts of service as a fulfilling way of achieving success (as you define it / see fit). ☯


*Before diving back in, a swift shout-out to acknowledge/honor the following this month (among many others not listed here) 🙌:
-Islamophobia Awareness Month
-Movember + Men's Mental Health Awareness Month
-National Family Caregivers Month
-Native American Heritage Month
