HH2GH is an educational platform focused on lighting up the darkness. Growing up in the hood we have been conditioned to live in a constant state of stress which further disconnects us from our true nature as energy beings. Living in a constant state of stress also leads to weaker immune systems and a lower life trajectory. Overall health has always been more than the physical and when we learn to embody our spirit, we create wellness. Do you want to live in the limited survival version of yourself or become one with the god/goddess you were always meant to be? Nobody is coming to save you, change starts with wanting to save yourself. Spin da block with me as we raise our vibrations from the hood to a good, healthy state of being.
Growing up in the hood enables us to create connections to people through the survival versions of ourselves. But what we don’t realize is that when we seek change in our life, it requires letting go of the old ways of being. This is very much inclusive of the people we have “always known” be it the homies, family and even partners. The person that you want to be requires your commitment to embracing whatever change is necessary. Spin da block with me as we go from HoodHealth2GoodHealth ✨
Part of healing is learning to forgive others for yourself, as well as learning to forgive yourself. Health and well-being is more than the physical as it’s the emotional/mental/spiritual balance that influence your physical. Lack of forgiveness is simply you holding onto the energy of experiences which you will continue to carry, poisoning yourself. Lack of forgiveness means you haven’t learned the lesson you was supposed to learn in order for you to elevate in yourself. Lack of forgiveness truly only affects you.

Growing up the hood, especially specific cultures, we see the stigmatization of going to therapy. The notion that “therapy means you’re crazy” truly was built on the systems in place. Seeking therapy is being able to talk to someone who could help you identify your behavior patterns, help you unpack your traumas, and even help you navigate/create a new direction in your life. The stigma surrounding therapy and mental wellness takes away your freedom to be true to you and live a life free of generational trauma. Therapy is a tool that could be used to strengthen yourself and redefine who you are and who you want to be! Spin da block with me as we go from #HoodHealth2GoodHealth ✨
Our first levels of love, being our parents, are the foundation of how we receive and perceive love. In the hood, many of us grow up without a solid foundation of what unconditional love is. The experiences we have and/or the false realities we create limit our ability to love and be loved as well as our understanding of the type of love we deserve. Spin da block with me to increase your awareness of how you love, how you receive love and what experiences may have shaped how you perceive what love is. 🤍
Growing up in the hood we are conditioned to believe that being vulnerable is being weak. We walk around projecting the “tough” act and embody the belief that not feeling emotion is a strength. Developing our emotional expression is how we reclaim our power. I truly believe “closed mouths don’t get fed.” Take your power back and release the belief that being vulnerable makes you weak. Embracing vulnerability is the strongest most scariest most rewarding thing you’ll ever do for yourself 🤍 Tap In.
Traumatic experiences that we’ve faced whether it’s Adverse childhood events or other events throughout our lives, leave a memory in our mind and the energy is stored in our body. Energy is not meant to be held onto but to be transferred and transformed. To truly heal, we have to release the energy we have stored from life’s experiences that have caused us pain. We have to be the alchemist of our own energy and transmute pain. Releasing past trauma frees our minds from enslavement. Tap in 🙏🏽💫
With many people easily susceptible to sickness, it’s time to look at the modification of one’s diet. We have been brainwashed to believe plant protein is insufficient while the other industries profit off the expense of the health of the people. We are living, electric beings charged by the sun.. why wouldn’t the constant consumption of dead energy create unhealthy expression in the body? Further leading to the development of disease! It’s been time to be your own health care advocate. It’s been time to be your own nutritionist. Spin da block with me as we go from HoodHealth2GoodHealth ✨

Surrendering is the key to being led to the most happiest, peaceful, healthiest version of yourself. We create stress and anxiety by trying to be in control of everything and then we get ourselves stuck in a state of victim hood feeling sorry for ourselves. It’s time to surrender control and let the universe WOW you! 🤍
My spirit felt compelled to talk about self love! It’s unfortunate that in the hood, we were never taught to love ourselves. Our parents operated on “sacrifice” and we learned from them. Let’s stop sacrificing and and learn to fill our cups up. We only have one life as the humans we came here as. There will never be another you. Make your mark, leave your legacy, and cut them dead ends!✨

Growing up in the hood we don’t learn to meditate. Meditation is something I learned in my mid 20s but it definitely changed my life for the better, mentally/physically/spiritually and emotionally. Meditation helps us master living in the now moment and living in the now is the most powerful thing we could do. Tap in with me and Mumma as she shares how meditation changed her life.
Stress is one of the biggest risk factors leading to cardiovascular disease(CVD) Heart disease (which is a form of CVD) is still the #1 leading killer among both men and women in the U.S!

During a conversation that I had with a pharmaceutical representative, I felt the need to ask why aren’t they looking at the holistic route of things. In their words “we live in a society that is lazy and looks for a quick fix.” So how could you expect these companies not monopolize?????
Managing an illness and healing from that illness is two distinct categories.

You see, health care was not always about profits over people. Healthcare professionals were not always focused on the bottom line. The first doctors weren’t focused on evidence based trials, they understood patterns. They even understood the interconnectedness of the systems.. but what do I know? Spin da block with me and learn where dollar signs became attached to your health
A brief intro to HH2GH. The purpose of this podcast and what I hope for the listener to get out of it.
We talk about “treating the whole person” in health care but how is that possibly when the only thing they treat are the physical symptoms?
