In this episode, Jahdea explores how growth and grief can coexist. Many of us were never taught to release pain—due to generational trauma, systems of oppression, and the suppression of the divine feminine. Through yogic wisdom like Tapasand Santosha, we reclaim rest and resilience as sacred tools for healing and transformation.
In this episode, I explore how technology has greatly influenced how we interact and how organic community seems to be disappearing, how widespread depression and spiritual disconnection are affecting our relationships, and why it feels harder to truly connect. Grounded in the yogic philosophy of Aparigraha (non-attachment), we reflect on how to let go of material possessions and get more grounded—I’ll guide you through affirmations to help you reconnect with yourself and others.
