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.
Rooting in Self-Compassion.
Speak gently to yourself today. You are enough. Your heart deserves care.
Your body & heart need your own kindness. This meditation invites you to speak gently to yourself, release self-criticism, & honour your inherent worth. You deserve the care you freely give to others.
Supremacy is a system, not your truth.
Supremacy lied to you. You are not what it told you. You are more.
Supremacy lies to you about who you are & what you’re worth. This meditation invites you to release internalized shame & remember your wholeness. Supremacy is a system, not your truth. You are more than what it told you to be.
Your grief is sacred.
Grief is love that survived. Honor it. Feel it. Let it move through you.
Grief lives in the body. It is love that has survived across generations. This meditation gives space to feel & release ancestral grief, honouring those who came before you & the love that still flows through you.
Belonging is your birthright.
You are not alone. Connection is survival. Interdependence is your truth. Feel it in your body.
Individualism isolates us. It teaches you to carry everything alone, even when your body is breaking under the weight. This meditation helps you reconnect with the truth that interdependence is survival. Feel how belonging lives in your body. Remember you were never meant to go through life alone.
Safety is a practice. It begins with you.
Your body is allowed to feel safe. Slow down. Breathe. You are held.
Safety is not something society hands to you. It is something you can practice in your body. In this meditation, you’ll slow down, breathe, & notice the places where safety can take root. Even in small moments, your body is allowed to feel safe.
Community is resistance, love, & survival.
You are part of a web of care, seen & unseen. Let connection hold you today.
Community is not optional. It is life. In this meditation, you’ll ground yourself in the truth that you are part of a web of care, seen & unseen. Let yourself feel held by connection, by the people who love you, & by ancestors who walk with you.
Rest is revolutionary care.
Rest is not lazy. Rest is sacred. Rest is yours.
Rest is not laziness. Rest is not a privilege you must earn. Rest is resistance in a world that demands constant productivity. This meditation guides you into stillness, reminding you that rest is sacred, necessary, & yours.
Love is your birthright.
You are allowed to receive. You are allowed to love yourself fully. Let your heart soften.
Love is not something you have to earn. Care is not something you need to prove yourself worthy of. This meditation opens space in your body to receive love, to soften, & to remember that love is your birthright.
You learned to survive. Now your body is ready to release.
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.
Endurance is sacred, & so are you.
Survival is resistance. You are resilient. You are sacred. You are here.
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.
