    No More Breadcrumbs

    We want to be well, we want to rest, we want to be seen and celebrated, we want to be paid for our art, we want black women to stop settling for breadcrumbs, we want it all! In my second Cracked Conversation after a massive hiatus, I'm chatting with my friend til the end and creative collaborator Khyelle Anthony (@khyellemango). We get deep into our relationships with chronic health issues and how we're claiming healing and worthiness in the face of ALL the challenges we're facing daily. It sounds kind of heavy, but trust me we laugh a lot. We're nixing Hope and replacing it with Faith. Faith that it will all work out if we keep showing up and doing the work. And also laying the f**k down, frequently. And watching Severance.

    A Touch of Delulu

    Welcomed to Cracked Conversations where I'll be chatting with black women about how chronic perfectionism has affected their physical bodies, their relationship to self, and what the hell is healing anyway? This is Taylor Harris-Butler! Guys, she's my new favorite person. Her grounded wisdom, her vibrancy, her wit and her laugh my gosh! We really got into it. She's an actor, a writer, a dancer, and an AD, and in this episode we discuss regulating your nervous system when you're the only black person on set, reframing our relationship to chronic illness as just another part of our bodies that needs to be listened to and cared for, instead of tackled or battled, and embracing the fact that our healing journeys really do require just a touch of delusion! We cover a LOT of ground. I know you'll enjoy her as much as I did!

    It's Like You're My Mirror

    I turned 35 last week and I've been flooded by love, genuine connection, unforgettable New York experiences, and those ever present mirrors creating a road map for my next stages of growth and expansion. I'm over the moon to have the privilege of not only seeing this age, when so many have not, but also having access to the tools, the community, and the awareness to both celebrate where I am, and to envision the magical future I'm creating free of limits. By the grace of God, I'm still here!

    Funny Girl

    For YEARS I've wanted to try stand up, but perfectionism has been holding me back. I finally faced my fear! Listen to me throw some pasta at the wall and see what sticks.

    Perfectionism is Embarrassing

    Apparently perfectionism is just ego....so I'm getting out of my own way! Also, is chronic dissatisfaction a thing???

    I'm Having A God Moment

    One example of a God moment is when you're about to write someone off, but you push past the discomfort, get vulnerable, set your ego aside, and then magic happens! This is one of those kinds of stories. I'm sorry I say like so much...I'm really gonna work on that!
