Project Rook

Here's a little secret: The life and health you desire are going to cost you something. If this year is to be any different than any other year, what are you willing to give up for it? Is your health or wellness worth the discomfort, frustration, and pain that you will have to temporarily endure while pursuing it?

Whether it comes to navigating the holidays, the winter, your health or the bs news headlines, the truth is always present it's just up to you to recognize it. The takeaway from this episode is that the Flu Season is just like most things you waste time obsessing and worrying about, nonexistent until your belief in it gave it power.

Your magic lies in your imagination and your ability to BEcome what it is that you desire. The plot twist is this: what you see and experience in the world depends not on what is there but the assumptions you make when you encounter it. Healing will always come back to you, every single time.

You can drown yourself in all the Awareness you want but until you DO something to prevent cancer, all the pink in the world ain't gon' save you. This is your friendly reminder that Breast Cancer Awareness Month is nothing but a billion dollar hustle that plays on your emotions while doing nothing to actually help you or those you love.

Everyone says they want it, the truth that is. But do you really? Are you really ready to shatter the world as you know it? I think you're lying. I think you want the benefits of creating a new world for yourself but not the consequences of letting go of your old one. Exiting the Matrix seems exciting until the truth ushers you into places your beliefs are unable to support.

Cancer is nothing to be feared. Why? Because when we understand what it really is and what actually causes it, we then come to understand what it takes to eliminate it or better yet never experience it in the first place. --- Episode Notes [00:48] Reflection on 100 episodes [11:12] What you must understand about cancer

If consciousness is your "state of awareness", what do you think happens to your health when your state of awareness of the world is that of lack and fear? You can not stay in energetic alignment with the Universe and experience all of her love and abundance when you're stuck replaying the memories of scarcity and lack. Remember every thought matters and all physical conditions manifest from the nonphysical.

While I do believe that how you think is more important than how you eat, from my experience, my mind has always been it's clearest and most focused during the times that I've eaten the best. It's not rocket science that what you put into your body matters and anyone who eats food (every-body) can attest to the fact that they feel certain ways after eating certain foods. Cleaning up your body has a majestic way of cleaning up your thoughts, and with clear and intentional thoughts you put yourself in the driver's seat of your behavior and ultimately your life.

Whether you're working to restore your health or simply in pursuit of a better life, the journey is undoubtedly not going to look exactly the way you may expect. Although we love to highlight the bountifulness of fruitful living, there are going to be times when despite planting seeds in what you believe is good soil, despite watering it consistently and making sure it has adequate sunlight, the harvest still doesn't come. What does one do when you put time, energy, and genuine effort into something you greatly desire, and you have nothing to "show" for it?

We've been lied to. We were taught that in order to love our people and community we must stay connected by way of our pain points. The more traumatic the better. Trauma is deeply embedded in our DNA and no matter how much you try to move beyond it, it's always the people who claim to love you who are there to remind you that you must not forget. I wonder what would happen if we decided to forget traumatic memories and create new visions of a powerful and fearless future.

Michelle Williams says she wants to normalize the mental health discussion. Well, let's chat. The narrative is that most people are suffering from some sort of mental illness and the solution is to "seek help". Funny though, that help always seems to come packaged with some sort of mind-altering and nerve-damaging psychotropic drug. Christians, on one hand, say that by His stripes they're healed, yet they see little to no healing taking place. On the other hand, they claim it's ok to drug themselves up because God is working through doctors to help them create drugs people need, yet the drugs are making people worse. Wtf is really going here?

Yes, it's July and yes, we're at the midway point of 2018. However, I'm here to remind you that I don't give a where you currently are, you do NOT have to leave 2018 the same way you came in. Remember the hardest person you have to convince is yourself.

Hate to tell you but you're soft and the life you say you want is not accessible to the soft. We can all agree that life will and often does kick your unexpectedly, however, it's imperative to know what to do and how to do it in order to keep pressing forward. On this episode, I'm challenging you to look at your kickings just a little bit differently. Episode Notes [11:30] First thing you should do when life is kicking yo [15:13] Second thing you should do when life is kicking yo [21:09] Third thing you should do when life is kicking yo [25:25] What you've forgotten about the journey

I don't give a what's going on in this physical world, I need you to understand that your health and wellness really comes down to one decision. You must decide what you believe. Are you following the reality that other humans have created or are you creating and living the reality you say you want and believe in??

On today's episode, we're talking about curing what doctors say is incurable. My guest, Jazmine Janay, is walking us through her journey back to healing, health, and wellness. From a 100-pound weight loss to becoming a junk food vegan that led to several debilitating autoimmune conditions at age 22, she describes in detail the moment she decided to put her health back in her hands.

How you gon' win when you ain't right within? Our bodies are falling apart, our minds have gone to , and we have become weak links who, rather than operating in our power, have become emotional pawns in this earthly game. The problem, however, is that we claim we're here to leave a legacy. So as much as we would like to "preach" to the youth, the question at hand is what are we really "doing" to illustrate what healthy, wise and abundant living really looks like?

I don't want to hear anything else about toxic masculinity because what we're now experiencing in response to this "problem" is toxic femininity. Society has created a narrative for women to follow and we have followed suit to our own detriment. Until focus is shifted to the matter at hand, we will continue to see the rise in mental and physical health problems with women that ultimately trickle down to our children, our families and our community.

When people say that some are just "lucky" because they healed from an illness or condition, please know that is some utter bullshat. In the health game there is no such thing as luck. It's levels to healing. Like pulling back the layers of an onion, you decide how deep you wanna go. However, before you can even consider that, there's one fundamental question that you haven't asked that is more than likely hindering 1)your ability to consider what's possible and 2)your overall health progress. Let's talk about it. Episode Notes [01:22] Rook update (or rant :) [13:55] The question you haven't asked

We all seem to agree that children's behavior is often stimulated to a larger degree by specific things they eat or drink, yet we have such a hard time accepting the correlation between what we, as adults, put in our mouths and its effects on our mood, thought processes and behavior. As society continues to shift, it would behoove you to make your mental focus a top priority and the first way you can do that is by checking the types of "food" you're putting in your body.

I know, I know, marijuana is all natural, straight from mother earth so it can't be a problem. Maybe. Or maybe you've abused it so much that instead of you controlling it, it now controls you? The task, as with everything in life is self-checking to be sure you're aware the moment your vice no longer becomes an option that you choose but rather a "need" that you've become dependent upon.
