Decolonize Your Mind: The Podcast
Decolonize Your Mind: The Podcast invites listeners into an intentional space of reflection, embodiment, & radical honesty. Created & hosted by alisha, founder of Traumatized & THRIVING, this series explores the intersections of trauma, capitalism, & collective liberation, grounded in care & curiosity rather than performance or perfection. Each season focuses on a single form of medicine: Somatic Medicine: returning to the body through nervous system awareness, embodiment, & movement. Educational Medicine: deep dives into decolonized frameworks, trauma literacy, & critical reflection. Conversational Medicine: dialogues with revolutionaries, community members, & healers who embody justice & care in practice. This rhythm mirrors a trauma-informed approach to learning, pacing, integration, & rest, while honouring that healing happens through many modalities. Each season weaves storytelling, somatic wisdom, & decolonial thought to help listeners understand how systems of power, including colonialism, capitalism, white supremacy, & patriarchy, shape our bodies, our beliefs, & our relationships. Together, we ask what healing looks like when we step outside of those systems & begin to imagine otherwise. Rather than “self-help,” this is collective care media, a space for slowing down, unlearning, & remembering what freedom feels like.

The harm was never yours to hold. Let your body remember freedom.
This meditation supports the release of internalized racial harm held in the body. Oppression teaches us to turn against ourselves to stay safe. In this space, you’ll witness those patterns without judgment and begin to let them go. Each breath is an act of return, an act of self-liberation.
Tagline: Endurance is sacred, & so are you.
Caption: Survival is resistance. You are resilient. You are sacred. You are here.
Description: To survive oppression is an act of resistance. This meditation honours your endurance & the sacredness of your survival. Your continued presence is a form of resistance. Feel into your body & recognize your resilience.
