Speaker 1 (00:00):
Why are we still begging a broken system to heal
us, when our ancestors builtentire healing traditions with
their bare hands?
What if 2026 isn't about moreinsurance, but about insuring
ourselves with knowledge,community and collective care?
What if the revolution isn'tjust televised, it's homegrown,
herbal and handled by us?

(00:21):
Because when healthcare becomeshustle, survival becomes sacred
and in our communities, blackhealth is Black wealth.
Period.
Trigger warning.
This episode discusses systemichealth disparities, medical
racism, economic inequity inhealthcare access and
community-based healthstrategies.

(00:41):

Welcome to Life Points withRhonda, the podcast where we

(01:23):
talk all things relationships,from self-love and family
healing to financial freedom andthe ways we show up in the
world.
I'm your host, rhonda, andtoday's episode is more than
urgent.
We're cracking open aconversation that's long overdue
.
It's about how we, as Blackpeople, are reclaiming our
bodies, our care and ourcommunities by building DIY

(01:44):
medical networks.
These aren't just trends,they're survival systems and
they're reshaping how we carefor ourselves, our elders, our
children and our future.
I know your time is valuable,so let's get started, okay, and
dive into the episode.
The State of Black Healthcare inAmerica why We've Always Been
Our Own First Responders.

(02:04):
The state of Black healthcarein America.
Why we've always been our ownfirst responders.
Let's begin this journey withhonesty, because too many of us
are still whispering about itbehind closed doors instead of
addressing it boldly out in theopen.
Here's the reality.
The American healthcare systemwas never designed with Black
people in mind, not in itsorigins, not in its evolution
and certainly not in its currentform.

(02:26):
From the very beginning, blackbodies were seen not as patients
to be cared for, but asproperty to be exploited.
We were experimented on, cutopen without anesthesia and used
to test procedures that wouldlater become standard practice
for white patients.
Dr J Marion Sims, often calledthe father of modern gynecology,
conducted brutal surgicalexperiments on enslaved black

(02:49):
women without their consent.
Let that sink in, theirsuffering built the foundations
of an entire medical discipline,and yet their names are barely
remembered.
This is not just historicaltrauma.
It is generational, and thedisrespect didn't stop in the
1800s.
It carried over into the 20thcentury through studies like the
Tuskegee syphilis experiment,where over 600 black men were

(03:13):
misled and denied treatment forsyphilis, even after penicillin
was available for 40 years 40.
This was not some hidden secret, it was government-sponsored.
Entire families were affectedand trust in medical
institutions was shattered.
But here's the thing, fam it'snot just history, it's happening

(03:33):
right now.
Today, during childbirth, atrates three to four times higher
than white women, blackpatients are less likely to be
prescribed pain medication forthe same conditions as white
patients.
Mental health symptoms in blackyouth are more likely to be

(03:55):
labeled as behavioral issuesrather than emotional distress,
and black men, our brothers, areoften treated like they're
dangerous before they're treatedlike they're in danger.
What does that tell you?
It tells you that it's notabout insurance, it's not about
paperwork, it's not even aboutmoney.
It's about bias, power andperception.

(04:17):
Even with top-tier insurance,we're still walking into
hospitals with fear, notconfidence.
We're still Googling oursymptoms at home before daring
to step into an urgent care.
We're still second-guessingwhat to say to doctors, afraid
we'll be labeled aggressive ornon-compliant.
It's exhausting, and when youlook at how access is structured

(04:39):
, the barriers are endless.
Let's talk about food deserts,where nutritious options are
scarce and the local cornerstore sells more liquor than
lettuce.
Let's talk about neighborhoodclinics with overworked,
underpaid staff and hours thatdon't align with anyone working
two jobs.
Let's talk about Black elderswho don't trust the system and

(05:00):
are forced to choose betweengroceries or prescriptions.
And let's talk about how hardit is to find a Black therapist,
a black doula or even a blackdentist who gets our experiences
and treats us with dignity.
And don't even get me startedon mental health.
For decades, our trauma has beenburied beneath survival.
We've normalized stress to thepoint where rest feels like

(05:22):
rebellion.
We've been gaslit into thinkingtherapy is weakness, when in
fact it's the healing work ourancestors prayed we'd have
access to.
And when we do seek help, we'reoften met with diagnoses that
pathologize our pain rather thancontextualize it.
But here's where it gets real.
Despite all this, despite allthe neglect, all the bias, all

(05:44):
the loss, we still rise, westill create, we still organize,
because Black people havealways been our own first
responders, from the UndergroundRailroad to Underground Clinics
.
We have a legacy of buildingwhat didn't exist and healing
ourselves when systems wouldn't.
And that legacy, that fire,it's being reignited in 2026.

(06:06):
We're entering a new era, familyone where we're not waiting on
policies to catch up, one wherewe're not depending on broken
institutions to suddenly startvaluing our lives, one where
we're building DIY medicalnetworks, reviving ancestral
healing and trading healthresources like currency, not for
survival but for liberation.
Because, at the end of the day,this isn't just about medicine,

(06:30):
it's about power, it's aboutautonomy, it's about deciding
that our bodies are notbattlegrounds but temples, that
our wellness is not optional butsacred, and that Black health
is not just about longevity,it's about legacy.
So when we say Black health isBlack wealth, we mean it with
our whole chest, because ahealthy community is a powerful

(06:52):
one, a rested mind is a radicalmind, and when we control our
care, we control our future.
This is why the conversationwe're having today matters more
than ever.
This is why DIY health isn't atrend, it's a movement, and in
the next section we're going totalk about what that movement
looks like, who's leading it,how it's organized and how you

(07:15):
can become part of it.
Because healing is no longer arequest.
It's a revolution.
The rise of DIY medical networks, what they are and why they're
saving lives.
Imagine walking into a spacethat feels like a living room,
not a waiting room, where theperson checking your blood
pressure knows your children'snames, where there's no

(07:36):
clipboard asking for yourinsurance, but instead someone
handing you a warm cup of herbaltea while you wait for your
wellness circle to begin.
That's the vibe, that's thevision, because DIY medical
networks, or what some arecalling community-led health
ecosystems, are more than justgrassroots pop-ups or emergency
band-aids.
They are powerful,decentralized systems of care

(07:58):
built by the people for thepeople, and they're not waiting
for approval, licensing orfederal dollars to save lives.
Let's break it down.
What is a DIY medical network?
At its core, it's acommunity-based web of support
and healing resources thatoperate independently from
traditional hospitals, urgentcares or corporate health

(08:19):
centers.
These networks are being builtout of necessity, born from the
deep cracks in our healthcareinfrastructure.
But make no mistake, they'renot makeshift, they're
intentional, they're strategic,they're sacred and, most
importantly, they're working.
Diy networks often include someor all of the following Mutual

(08:39):
aid, health pods where familiesor neighborhoods share supplies
like blood pressure cuffs,thermometers, first aid kits and
even share medication.
Education, mobile wellnessclinics.
Vans and buses equipped withfree HIV testing, blood sugar
checks, doula consultations andsometimes even chiropractic care

(08:59):
.
Acupuncture or trauma therapypop-ups, community herbalists
and root workers.
Those reviving our plant-basedhealing knowledge, offering teas
, tinctures and salves that healthe body and nourish the spirit
.
Black doulas and birth workers.
Protecting Black mothers andbabies in a country where Black
maternity death rates are anational disgrace.

(09:22):
Therapy circles, groupjournaling and spiritual
counseling.
Free or sliding scale mentalhealth services provided by
people who look like us and livelike us.
Digital health co-ops and signalnetworks.
Telegram and discord groupswhere folks trade tips, find
black doctors, recommendtherapists and warn each other

(09:42):
about predatory clinics orpolice presence.
Emergency community funds,crowdfunded systems to pay for
insulin surgery, travel toappointments or funeral costs
when the state fails us yetagain.
And here's the thing, thesesystems are interconnected.
If someone in Harlem knows amidwife in Atlanta who just

(10:04):
helped a mother give birth athome safely, that number gets
passed around like sacredscripture.
If someone in Oakland creates afree PDF on anti-inflammatory
herbs and foods for lupus, it'sdownloaded in Memphis, baton
Rouge and Flint.
If a brother in Baltimorecreates a map of food co-ops,

(10:24):
that map becomes a life-savingtool in Chicago and Detroit.
This is digital era,underground railroad energy.
But instead of escaping slavery,we're escaping medical neglect,
economic abandonment andgenerational silence about our
health.
Now let's be clear DIY doesn'tmean unprofessional or unsafe.
Many of the people leadingthese efforts are certified

(10:45):
nurses, doctors, herbalists,therapists and nutritionists.
They've simply chosen to stepoutside of the gatekeeping
institutions to offer care ontheir own terms, with our needs
at the center, not corporateprofit margins and those who
aren't credentialed.
They're still deeply rooted incare trained by elders grounded
in experience and supported bytight-knit webs of

(11:07):
accountability and ancestralknowledge.
This is the part mainstreammedia doesn't understand.
In our communities, agrandmother with 30 years of
midwifery under her belt is justas valuable as a white coat
with a plaque on the wall,because her care comes with
history, with love, with prayers.
Now let's talk about why thesenetworks are saving lives In

(11:29):
2026,.
We are watching a dual crisisunfold.
First, the healthcare system isbecoming more expensive and
less accessible.
Premiums are up, drug pricesare out of control and
telehealth, which was once atemporary fix during the
pandemic is now replacingin-person care, leaving many
elders and tech challenge folksbehind.
Second, our people are tired ofdying with dignity when we

(11:54):
never got the chance to livewith equity, so we're building
new systems that respond to ourrealities.
A single mother who can'tafford daycare and a copay she
can join a community wellnesshub that offers free childcare
during mental health groupsessions.
A Black trans youth who'safraid of being misgendered or
mistreated at the ER they'rewelcomed with open arms at a

(12:15):
queer-led herbal clinicoperating in a shared co-op
space.
A grandparent managing diabetesbut struggling to understand
their nutrition plan.
Grandparent managing diabetesbut struggling to understand
their nutrition plan.
A retired nutritionist turnedvolunteer shows up with a
culturally specific food map forsoul food alternatives.
These aren't hypotheticals.
This is happening right now inkitchens, garages, zoom calls,

(12:38):
converted buses, instagram DMsand backyards all across the
country.
And what's wild?
These efforts are often run onshoestring budgets, fueled by
community donations and pureheart.
But here's the secret Heart issustainable when community is
the engine.
You don't need a million-dollargrant to make a difference.
You need intention, you needtrust, you need love, and we, as

(13:04):
a people, are overflowing withthat.
There's a quote I love thatsays when the people have
nothing left to eat, they willeat the rich.
But, baby, in 2026, when thepeople have nothing left to
trust, we will build our ownsanctuaries of care and we will
stock them with herbs, withprayers, with blood pressure

(13:25):
cuffs, with loving arms and withfreedom.
This is not about replacinghospitals.
It's about reducing dependencyon a system that has failed us
for generations.
It's about restoring autonomy.
It's about healing togetherinstead of waiting alone, and
it's about preparing forwhatever comes next, with skills

(13:46):
, knowledge and a tribe, becausehealing doesn't have to look
clinical.
It can look like porch talks,like sister circles, like uncles
teaching breathwork, like kidslearning CPR at the cookout.
That's what DIY networks areFreedom disguised as care.
And in the next section, we'regoing to talk about the tools,

(14:06):
herbs, skills and allies youneed to start your own health
pod, wellness circle orneighborhood healing station.
We're going to get practical,because this revolution it's not
just inspiring, it's achievable.
Building a health pod, how tostart your own DIY wellness
network today, let's get into it, because it's one thing to talk

(14:29):
about the problem, but we as apeople have always been more
than talk.
We are doers, creators, legacybuilders.
So today, let's talk about howyou can start your own health
pod, whether you're in anapartment, a family home, a
rural town or the middle of acity block.
First, what's a health pod?

(14:49):
A health pod is a smallcommunity-rooted circle of
individuals friends, familymembers, neighbors, coworkers
who come together to mutuallysupport one another's well-being
outside of the traditionalmedical system.
Think of it as a microclinicmeets spiritual wellness tribe.
You don't need to be a doctor,you don't need money, you don't

(15:09):
need a title.
You just need intention, a planand a heart for your people.
Step one define your pod'spurpose.
Ask yourself who are you tryingto support first, family,
single mothers, elders, youth,creatives, spiritual folks,
returning citizens, lgbtq plus,fam.

(15:31):
What health issues do they facemost often?
Is it diabetes, stress, highblood pressure, reproductive
health, depression?
What services or supports aremissing from their lives?
A pod could focus on emotionalsupport like weekly mental
health check-ins or groupjournaling, herbal healing,

(15:51):
monthly herbal remedy shares,body-based care, free yoga
movement, breathwork, massagecircles, chronic illness support
, diabetic meal swaps, pressurereadings, accountability
partners, pregnancy andpostpartum, black doulas,
lactation support, birthplanning, men's health circles,

(16:13):
barbershop healing, prostatehealth, grief discussions or it
could be a mix, but focus is key.
Pro tip don't do this alone.
Bring two to three trustedco-founders in early, so the
weight isn't just on you.
Think team, not hero.
Step two gather your tools andhealing materials.

(16:33):
You don't need a hospital, buthaving a well-stocked sacred
space matters.
Start with this DIY health podstarter kit.
Build it slowly with this DIYhealth pod Starter kit.
Build it slowly.
Basic medical tools Digitalthermometer, blood pressure cuff

(16:55):
, automatic or manual Pulseoximeter for oxygen levels,
glucometer for blood sugar.
If needed, first aid kit,bandages, gauze, antiseptics,
menstrual pads or cups, condomsand safe sex materials.
Emergency contact forms andallergy cards.
Holistic and herbal suppliesherbal teas, chamomile, sleep
hibiscus, blood pressure nettle,iron, ginger, inflammation

(17:35):
carrier oils, olive, jojoba,coconut tinctures Thank you
Tourmaline Sage, palo Santo orAfrican incense for spiritual
cleansing, florida water camphoror ancestral oils for cleansing
rituals.
Educational materials Anatomyposters or PDFs, easy to read
wellness books.

(17:55):
Sacred Woman by Queen Afua,medical Apartheid by Harriet
Washington.
African Holistic Health by DrLaila.

(18:19):
Africa templates to design yourflyers, education cards and
wellness forms.
Zoom or in-person video callsfor meetings or care sessions.
Safety items Mask kits forimmune, compromised folks, cpr
certification or first aidtraining, emergency response
plans, hospital routes, whodrives who, etc.
This may seem like a lot, butremember.

(18:41):
Build as you go.
Ask each pod member tocontribute one item, trade with
nearby pods, host a healingsupply swap.
You'll be amazed what you canbuild when you combine forces.
Step three build trust andaccountability.
This part is critical.
You are not just organizingmaterials, you are holding

(19:03):
people's healing energy.
That requires boundaries,confidentiality, thank you.
Everyone contributes what theycan time, knowledge or presence.
Also rotate roles.

(19:27):
Let someone be the herbalist,another person lead meditation,
someone else facilitate prayer.
When everyone is involved, thenetwork becomes stronger and no
one burns out.
Pro tip have regular check-insevery two weeks or monthly.
Celebrate healing wins, mournlosses together.
Keep it sacred.

(19:49):
Step four connect to the largermovement.
You are not alone in this.
There are DIY pods forming allacross the country and globally.
Search hashtags like ChoshHealing Justice, chosh Black
Health Matters, chosh HerbalHealing Pod or Radical Rest.
Connect with groups like theNational Black Doulas
Association, black HealersCollective, heal House Kindred,

(20:13):
southern Healing JusticeCollective, m4bl Healing Justice
Network, queering Herbalism,and don't forget to create your
own network.
Link with church groups, blacktherapists, reiki practitioners,
youth groups, single mothercollectives and healing-centered
schools.
Our strength is ininterdependence.
Step five ritualize the work.

(20:34):
This is more than justcommunity care.
It's spiritual rebellion, sotreat it like the sacred
offering that it is.
Open each meeting with agrounding ritual, pour libations
for the ancestors, sayaffirmations as a group, burn
herbs and ask for spiritualprotection.
Read a healing quote from bellhooks Audrey Lord or Dr Sebi.

(20:57):
Play a frequency or lo-fi trackto calm the nervous system.
Make healing beautiful,intentional and sacred.
When our people feel seen, theyopen up, and when they open up,
healing flows like water.
Step six track what's workingand what's not.

(21:17):
Keep a record of common healthneeds in your group, remedies or
rituals that work best barriersyour group is facing food time
access, local Black-friendlyresources, discovered emergency
protocols, asthma attacks,allergic reactions, etc.
Use this data to evolve.
Add new tools, share the model,offer workshops.

(21:41):
One day, your health pod couldbecome a full-blown community
clinic, collective or school Protip.
Turn your learnings into a freePDF or zine and pass it out at
events, barbershops, salons oronline.
My final thought for thissection let's be clear the
system was never broken.

(22:02):
It was built this way, butinstead of begging it to change,
we're building sanctuaries ofhealing in its shadow.
That's the revolution.
That's the answer.
So, whether you're a motherbraiding hair and sharing
recipes, a brother teaching CPRin the barbershop, a healer
offering full moon cleansings ora youth teaching TikTok

(22:24):
meditations to their friends.
You are the medicine.
When we come together with loveand purpose, we're not just
resisting, we're restoring.
And in 2026, our Black HealthPods won't just be surviving,
they'll be thriving, radiant,revolutionary, rooted in love
and rooted in legacy, becauseBlack health is Black wealth and

(22:46):
we're no longer outsourcing ourpower.
Section 4, the role of Blackdoulas, birth workers and
healers, reclaiming the sacredart of care.
Let's take a sacred pause righthere and talk about something
that should be at the verycenter of every conversation
about Black health Black birth,black motherhood, black healing,

(23:08):
black life.
Because what's morerevolutionary than preserving
Black life from the moment itenters the world?
And yet, in a country asmedically advanced as America
claims to be, black women arestill dying during childbirth at
rates that rival those ofdeveloping countries.
In fact, the maternal mortalityrate for Black women in the US
is more than triple that ofwhite women, even when you

(23:29):
control for education and income.
Let that settle into your bonesfor a second.
A Harvard-educated Black womanis still more likely to die
giving birth than a high schooldropout who is white, and it's
not because of biology, it'sbecause of bias, because of
neglect, because of dismissal,because our pain is still not
believed, because our wombs aretreated as war zones instead of

(23:53):
sacred portals.
But guess what?
We are reclaiming that powerthrough the divine work of black
doulas, birth workers andspiritual healers who are black
doulas and birth workers.
A doula is not a midwife, thoughthe two roles can work
beautifully together.
A doula is a trained supportperson, someone who walks with

(24:14):
you through the pregnancy, birthand postpartum journey.
They're there for emotionalsupport, spiritual strength,
physical comfort and advocacy inspaces where your voice may be
dismissed.
But a Black doula, a Blackdoula is so much more than that.
She or he or they becomes acultural anchor, a translator

(24:35):
between medical jargon andancestral knowing, a protector
of your spirit as much as yourcervix, a reminder that you are
not a statistic.
You are a divine vesselbringing life forward.
Many Black doulas go beyondtraining.
They carry the wisdom ofgenerations.
They know the smells of labor,the sound of a woman's breath
when her body opens, the chanceto calm the room, the herbs to

(24:59):
ease the pain, the oils to rubon swollen feet, the prayers to
whisper during transition.
They are the bridge and theyare saving lives, why their work
is so urgently needed.
Far too often, our sisters walkinto hospital rooms and never
walk out again.
Their partners are toldeverything was fine, only to

(25:19):
bury them days later.
But when a Black doula or birthworker is present, outcomes
improve dramatically.
That's not anecdotal.
It's backed by data.
Studies show that mothers withdoula support are less likely to
undergo unnecessary C-sections,experience less trauma and
fewer complications, reporthigher satisfaction with their
birth experience, are morelikely to successfully

(25:42):
breastfeed, have strongerpostpartum recovery outcomes.
But beyond statistics, it's thefeeling of not being alone, not
being dismissed, having someonewho looks like you and feels
like home, holding space foryour transformation.
And let's be honest, this isn'tjust about birth Healers of the
mind, body and spirit.

(26:04):
Black healing work stretches farbeyond labor and delivery.
We are seeing a resurgence ofsacred care Energy healers who
help align chakras and emotionaltrauma.
Herbalists who restore wombhealth with yoni steams, teas
and tinctures.
Spiritual midwives who guidewomen through miscarriages,
abortions and rebirths.
Grief doulas who walk withfamilies through ancestral

(26:37):
transitions and loss.
Thank you, that rest is notlaziness, it's sacred recovery.
These practitioners are ourearth angels and many of them
are forming healing collectivesoperating out of living rooms,
converted wellness spaces,mobile clinics and even sacred
sanctuaries inside churches,mosques and cultural centers.

(26:58):
They are the heartbeat of theDIY health revolution Reviving
Rituals, ancient tools formodern healing.
One of the most powerful giftsBlack doulas and healers bring
is a return to ritual.
In these modern spaces, we'reseeing a revival of ancestral
tools and sacred ceremonies,practices our grandmothers

(27:20):
whispered about, now roaringback with pride.
Some of these include wombblessing ceremonies with candles
, rose water drumming andaffirmations.
Ancestor veneration.
Altars for women preparing togive birth, calling in the
protection of the lineage.
Postpartum belly binding usingtraditional African cloth
techniques.
Moon circles aligned with lunarcycles for regulating womb

(27:44):
health and menstrual peace.
Herbal baths to cleanse grief,restore softness and release
past trauma from the body.
Naming rituals rooted in Yorubaor Congolese tradition
affirming the soul of the newlife.
Entering these practices arenot extras, they are medicine.
They are a declaration that weare not just birthing babies, we

(28:06):
are birthing futures.
That care is not clinical, itis spiritual, it is communal, it
is sacred.
How to find or become a Blackdoula or healer?
If you're looking for supportor if you feel called to become
a healer yourself, there arecountless resources, training
and directories.

(28:27):
National Black DoulasAssociation, nbda.
Sistersong, mama Glow by LathamThomas, ancient Song Doulas
Services.
Roots of Labor, birthCollective.
Black Healers NetworkDecolonize your Womb School.
Black Healers NetworkDecolonize your Womb School.
Many of these organizationsoffer free or sliding scale
services, especially for Blackmothers, lgbtq plus birth givers

(28:51):
and low-income communities.
They also offer trainings,certifications and mentorships.
If you feel the call to walkthis sacred path, pro tip you
don't need to be a doula tosupport.
You can be the cook whodelivers meals to a new mom, the
auntie who sits and listens,the friend who makes herbal care
packages, the cousin whowatches the baby while the new

(29:12):
parent naps.
That is healing work too.
The doula mindset for everyone.
Let's expand our vision becausein 2026, we are all doulas, we
are all midwifing each other'shealing.
Whether you're helping a friendthrough heartbreak, guiding
your teen through mental healthchallenges or tending to your

(29:32):
own self after burnout, you arebirthing something holy.
The doula mindset is one ofpresence, compassion and
witnessing.
You don't have to have all theanswers.
You just have to show up tobreathe with someone, to speak
life into them, to hold theirhand, not their pain.
And in a world that treatsBlack folks like machines,

(29:52):
presence is revolutionary.
Our ancestors knew that healingwas never meant to be solitary,
that birth was never meant to betraumatic, that health was
never meant to be transactionaland that care, when done right,
is the most sacred form of love.
Black doulas, birth workers andhealers are the soul of this
movement.
They're not just helping ussurvive, they're helping us

(30:15):
return to ourselves.
So let us honor them, supportthem, become them, because when
we reclaim the sacred art ofcare, we don't just change
outcomes, we change the future.
And in the next section we'lltalk about how this energy is
transforming mental health inour communities, where trauma
meets tenderness and DIY therapycircles are breaking

(30:35):
generational curses.
Section five emotional wealthhow DIY therapy circles are
healing Black mental health fromthe inside out.
Let's take a breath, becauseeverything we've talked about up
to now ancestral healing,doulas, herbal medicine, health
pods is powerful, but there's apart of our well-being that

(30:56):
often gets buried beneath allthe physical survival strategies
, and that's our emotionalhealth.
Because, let's be real, some ofthe deepest wounds we carry
aren't visible on an x-ray.
They're in the silence we learnto survive.
They're in the walls we builtaround our hearts.
They're in the generationaltrauma that whispers.
Be strong, no matter whatthey're in the pain we numbed

(31:17):
just to keep going, and toooften when it comes to mental
health in Black communities.
Often, when it comes to mentalhealth in Black communities,
we're told to pray it away, manup or just be grateful.
But healing is not aperformance of strength.
Healing is a return to softness, a release of shame and a
reclamation of feeling.
That's why in 2026, we areseeing a beautiful revolution,

(31:47):
diy therapy circles led by thepeople for the people, restoring
what institutional systemscould never truly give us
Emotional safety the crisiswe're facing.
Let's talk about the weight wecarry.
Black children are more likelyto be diagnosed with behavioral
disorders than giventrauma-informed care.
Black men are four times morelikely to die by suicide than
Black women, but least likely toreceive professional support.

(32:10):
Black women are some of thehighest performing, most
overburdened and under-supporteddemographic groups in the
workforce and we're burning out.
Lgbtq+ Black youth reporthigher anxiety.
Lgbtq+ Black youth reporthigher anxiety, depression and
suicide attempts, but are rarelyseen through an affirming or
culturally competent lens.

(32:30):
Many of our elders are silentlysuffering with undiagnosed PTSD
, grief and unresolvedhistorical trauma from
segregation, displacement andracism.
And yet access to mental healthsupport remains scarce,
especially in our communities.
Therapists are expensive,cultural competency is rare and

(32:53):
for some of us, the idea oftelling a stranger your business
still feels like betrayal.
So what do we do?
We circle up, we build sacredcontainers, we create our own
healing rooms, because we maynot all have therapists, but we
have each other.
What is a DIY therapy circle?
A DIY therapy circle is a safe,peer-led space where Black

(33:17):
folks come together to share,release and rebuild.
It's not a replacement forclinical therapy, but it is an
accessible, culturally-rootedalternative that supports
healing in powerful ways.
Here's what makes these circlesso special they're rooted in
trust, often made up of friends,family or community members
with shared experience.

(33:37):
They're accessible, free or lowcost, no insurance, no
diagnosis required.
They're flexible, held in homes, barbershops and in the
community gardens, online or insacred spaces like churches or
wellness centers.
They're trauma-informed.
Many use prompts, breathwork,storytelling and rituals to

(33:58):
honor each person's journey.
They're ancestral Black peoplehave always used circle dialogue
, from griots to villagecouncils, from kitchen table
wisdom to drum circles.
This is in our DNA.
It's not about fixing people.
It's about holding space,because sometimes all a person
needs is for someone to sayyou're not alone, you're not

(34:20):
crazy, you're not broken.
You're human and you're healing.
How to start your own DIYtherapy circle?
Just like with a health pod,starting a healing circle
doesn't require credentials.
It requires care, intention andconsistency.
Here's how you can start.
One choose your format.

(34:42):
Decide if your circle is openor closed.
Invite only virtual orin-person mixed gender or
specific to a group Black women,black fathers, queer, black
youth, etc.
Two create a ritual of opening.
Every circle should begin witha grounding practice Light a

(35:02):
candle or incense.
Set an intention Healing,release clarity.
Breathe together for threeminutes.
Offer an affirmation or prayer.
Acknowledge the ancestors orspiritual guides.
Three use guided prompts.
Structure can help easevulnerability.
Try questions like what'ssomething heavy you've been

(35:23):
carrying?
When was the last time you feltseen?
What's a lie?
You were told about your worth?
What did your parents neverlearn how to say?
What does peace feel like inyour body?
You can also pull cards, poemsor even quotes from bell hooks,
audre Lorde or Kendrick Lamar tospark deeper discussion.
Fear to hold a talking piece.

(35:43):
Pass a sacred object, crystal,flower, ancestral item around.
Only the person holding it mayspeak.
Everyone else listens fully,without advice, without
interruption.
Pro tip silence is welcome.
Not everyone needs to talkevery time.
Five create an exit ritual.
Don't leave people raw.

(36:04):
Close the circle with a momentof peace.
Everyone shares one word forhow they feel A group hum,
drumbeat or breath Light PaloSanto or Florida water cleanse,
group chant or guidedaffirmation.
Sixth follow up.
Healing doesn't end when thecandles blow out.
Check in with each othermidweek, share a playlist, send

(36:26):
love notes.
Build the emotional wealth thatkeeps us rooted when this is
happening already.
These circles are growingeverywhere, from big cities to
rural towns.
In Oakland, hood healingcircles combine breathwork with

(36:46):
storytelling and plant medicine.
In Atlanta, black Boy JoyCollective hosts healing
sessions for men to cry, releaseand reconnect.
In New Orleans, kitchen TableHealers gathers mothers to talk
grief, joy and love whilecooking ancestral recipes.
On Instagram, pages like AtTherapy for Black Girls and At
Safe Haven Spaces offer virtualprompts and check-ins.

(37:09):
Tiktok now features virtualhealing lives with breathwork,
affirmations and live groupjournaling.
You don't need a therapist'scouch.
You need a witness.
You need a mirror.
You need a circle.
Emotional wealth is ourinheritance.
Let me say this loud and clearyou deserve emotional wealth.

(37:29):
You deserve joy that doesn'tcome with guilt.
You deserve softness thatdoesn't feel like weakness.
You deserve rest that isn'tearned through suffering.
You deserve people who look atyou and say I get it, I got you,
and you deserve to feel yourfeelings without shame.
Emotional wealth is not aboutbeing happy all the time.
It's about having the space tobe real.

(37:51):
It's about building communityso strong that you never have to
pretend again.
This is what healing justicelooks like in 2026.
Not just marching, not justsurviving, but feeling,
releasing healing.
Reclaiming my final word forthis section there is nothing

(38:11):
more revolutionary than a blackwoman crying in a room full of
love and not being told to holdit together.
There is nothing more sacredthan a black father whispering.
I don't know how to do this,but I'm trying.
There is nothing more healingthan a child saying I feel safe
here.
Our healing is not justpersonal, it's collective.
Our liberation is not justpolitical, it's emotional.

(38:33):
Our medicine is not justpersonal, it's collective.
Our liberation is not justpolitical, it's emotional.
Our medicine is not just herbal, it's relational.
Diy therapy circles are notsoft work, they are soul work.
And in the next section we'regoing to talk about food,
because no healing system iscomplete without honoring the
plate.
We're breaking down how foodco-ops, herbal gardens and

(38:53):
black-led nutrition arereshaping how we feed our people
, because nourishment Sectionsix food is medicine how black
gardens, co-ops and nutritionhubs are feeding the future.
Let's talk about the mostunderestimated but most powerful
form of medicine.
We touch every single day ourfood.
Because when we talk abouthealing our bodies, minds and

(39:14):
communities, we can't skip overwhat's on our plates.
We can't bypass what's in ourpantries, our soil, our kitchens
and our children's lunch boxes.
We were raised on soul food.
We were raised on grandma'sgreens, sweet potatoes,
cornbread, red beans and oxtails.
But let's be honest, some ofthat soul food was survival food

(39:36):
passed down from plantationscraps.
It's time we ask a boldquestion what does liberated
food look like in black hands?
The answer it looks like gardenplots in abandoned lots.
It looks like herbal bundleshanging in kitchen windows.
It looks like collard greenswithout pork and smoothies
without guilt.
It looks like co-ops,collective meals, soil healing

(39:58):
and children learning how togrow before they go.
It looks like Black healthbeing restored from the inside
out.
The problem food apartheid, notjust deserts.
The term food desert doesn'teven scratch the surface of
what's been done to ourcommunities.
A better term is food apartheid, because it's not random, it's
systematic, it's the result ofzoning laws, redlining,

(40:21):
divestment and the intentionalplacement of liquor stores and
fast food joints, while pushingfresh markets out.
In many Black neighborhoods youcan walk 10 blocks and not find
a single organic vegetable, butyou'll find chicken shacks,
corner stores and sugary snackson every corner.
Here's the toll it's taking.
Black Americans are 1.5x morelikely to suffer from obesity,

(40:46):
two times as likely to developtype 2 diabetes, more likely to
have high blood pressure, heartdisease and strokes, less likely
to have access to healthy,affordable and culturally
relevant food.
And it's not just about access.
It's about education,affordability and ancestral
connection, because food is notjust fuel, it's ritual, it's

(41:07):
memory, it's medicine.
The rise of Black FoodSovereignty Movements Enter the
Black Food Sovereignty Movementa wave of farmers, herbalists,
chefs, aunties and educators whoare reclaiming control over our
food systems.
Not just what we eat, but howit's grown, who profits from it

(41:28):
and how it heals us.
These are the folks sayingwe're growing our own, we're
feeding our block, we'rereplacing corner stores with
co-ops, we're reclaiming theland our ancestors bled into.
Let's shine light on just a fewof the people and movements
leading this revolution SoulFire Farm, upstate, new York.
Black and Brown-ledfarm-fighting, food apartheid

(41:51):
through training, education andliberation through land.
Black Church Food SecurityNetwork.
Multiple cities, churchesturning backyards into gardens
and feeding communities whileteaching soil stewardship.
The SIP Culture Project,mississippi, farming,
storytelling and arts woventogether to restore land and

(42:12):
food knowledge in the Deep South.
Ron Finley Project, los Angeles, the Gangsta Gardener who
turned curbside dirt lots intovegetable oases and changed
zoning laws doing it.
Blk plus GRN Trap Garden andBlack Urban Growers, national
hubs for healing,healing-centered Food Systems,

(42:33):
black Farming Collectives andWellness Partnerships.
These folks aren't just feedingbellies, they're feeding
freedom, because when youcontrol your food, you control
your health, you control yourwealth and you begin to undo the
trauma of being disconnectedfrom the earth.
How to start a wellness kitchenor herbal garden in your home or
block.
You don't need acres, you needintention, whether you live in a

(42:58):
high-rise apartment or have abackyard, here's how you can
begin healing through food.
Start with five medicine plants.
Grow these in pots, windowsillsor small garden beds.
Basil anti-inflammatory,improves digestion.
Mint calms nerves, aids, sleeptime, antibacterial, respiratory

(43:19):
health.
Lemongrass, blood sugar control, anxiety relief.
Collard greens calcium-rich,detoxifying, deeply ancestral.
Create a kitchen healingcabinet.
Stock with powerful items liketurmeric and black pepper for
pain, ginger root, nausea,immunity.

(43:39):
Sea moss, minerals, thyroidhealth, raw honey, antiviral,
allergy aid, apple cider,vinegar, blood sugar balance.
Do a monthly meal healing circle.
Host a potluck.
Do a monthly meal healingcircle.
Host a potluck where eachperson brings one healing dish
Before eating.
Everyone shares how the foodconnects to their culture or

(44:01):
health journey.
That's medicine.
Teach the babies, let yourchildren or neighborhood youth
plant one herb and name it.
Show them how to water it anduse it.
Empowering them to grow.
One thing can unlock a lifetimeof confidence.
Join or start a food co-op.
Food co-ops let communitiesbulk.
Buy healthy food at lowerprices.

(44:21):
They're run by the people, notfor profit.
Use a community fridge Partnerwith a local farm.
Share freezer space.
There's always a way.
Create healing meals withritual, set intentions.
As you cook, play affirmingmusic, say a prayer over your
plate.
There's always a way and I amnourished the soul in our food,
a return to ancestral nutrition.

(44:41):
Many of the foods we weretaught to fear, like sweet
potatoes, okra, black-eyed peas,yams, millet, callaloo, phonio,

(45:05):
hibiscus, are deeply healing.
They are indigenous to us.
Ancestral nutrition meanseating seasonally and locally,
pairing herbs with meals,listening to your body's rhythms
, healing your gut for emotionalpeace, restoring lost recipes
with purpose.
This is not about dieting.
This is not about clean eating.

(45:25):
This is about sacredremembering.
Food was our first language ofcare.
The pot of soup waiting on thestove, the skillet of cornbread
for Sunday dinners, the bananapudding that healed heartbreak,
the plate left out for theancestors.
Our people have always knownfeeding is sacred and in 2026,

(45:50):
we are returning to that altarwith open hearts and full plates
.
Final word for this section.
When we say Black health isblack wealth, this is what we
mean, because a garden is notjust a garden.
It's a protest, it's anoffering, it's a declaration
that our wellness will no longerbe outsourced To systems that
don't value us.
Every kale leaf you grow, everytea blend you brew, every youth

(46:10):
you teach to touch the soilthat's legacy, that's, that's
divine work.
And when we reclaim our rightto feed ourselves with love,
intention and wisdom, we unlocka freedom that no policy can
ever give us.
You deserve food that affirmsyou.
You deserve meals that don'tinflame you.
You deserve a body that feelssafe in its fullness.

(46:31):
You deserve to be nourishedinto your destiny, because food
is medicine, food is memory,food is liberation.
You've heard of physicalimmunity, your body's defense
system, but there's anotherlayer that's just as vital, if

(46:54):
not more so, a layer ourancestors never ignored.
It's called spiritual immunity.
And in 2026, we are finallywaking up to what our
grandmothers, babalawos, hoodoo,practitioners, pastors and
priestesses always knew If yourspirit is unprotected, your
health will unravel, no matterwhat you eat, take or treat.

(47:14):
Spiritual immunity is yoursoul's firewall.
It's the strength of your aura,your ori, your inner compass.
It governs your energy, youremotional clarity, your
spiritual boundaries and yourability to resist not just
illness but depression,manipulation, confusion and

(47:35):
chaos.
And let's be clear in a worldthat is constantly trying to
invade, exploit and drain blackenergy, protecting your spirit
is non-negotiable.
What is spiritual immunity?
Spiritual immunity is theenergetic layer of protection
and alignment that helps youResist emotional manipulation,
detox energetic clutter andstress, restore divine clarity

(47:58):
in the face of confusion, createboundaries that guard your
peace, connect with ancestorsand divine guides for guidance,
navigate toxic environmentswithout absorbing the poison.
Heal faster by staying alignedwith your inner truth.
Our people have always hadtools for this.
It's in our prayers, our oils,our altars, our music, our

(48:21):
rhythm, our rituals, ourintuition.
Your immune system has whiteblood cells.
Your spirit has incantations,crystals, altars and divine
alignment Signs your spiritualimmunity is compromised.
Let's be real, most of us havewalked around with low spiritual

(48:41):
immunity and didn't know it.
Here are signs your energy bodyneeds healing Constant fatigue,
even when well-fed and rested.
Mental fog and forgetfulness,feeling ungrounded or scattered.
Nightmares or broken sleep.
Chronic fear, anxiety or dread.
Sudden mood swings when aroundothers, absorbing other people's

(49:03):
pain or negativity.
Feeling spiritually off, evenwhen life seems fine.
Unexplained body aches,especially in your neck, back or
chest.
Sound familiar.
That's not just stress, it'sspiritual depletion.
But here's the good news you canrestore your field.
How to strengthen yourspiritual immunity.

(49:24):
These are not woo-woo practices.
These are ancient technologiesthat our people have used for
centuries.
Here's how to protect yourenergetic field and reclaim your
sovereignty.
One cleanse your energy fieldregularly.
Spiritual baths Use herbs likebasil, hyssop, rosemary and
lavender in a bath with sea salt, florida water and prayer Smoke

(49:49):
cleansing.
Burn sage, cedar, frankincenseor African myrrh around your
body and space Crystal brushing.
Sweep a black tourmaline orselenite wand over your body
daily to remove stagnant energy.
Two feed your ancestors.
Set up a clean altar with water, a white candle and food

(50:11):
offerings.
Speak their names aloud.
Ask for their protection.
Leave daily gratitude or songas nourishment.
Three speak spiritual immunityinto yourself, affirmations to
fortify your aura.
I am protected by divine forces, seen and unseen.
My energy is sacred.
I release what is not mine.

(50:31):
Every breath realigns me withpeace, clarity and ancestral
wisdom.
I reject confusion.
I welcome clarity.
I carry the light of those whocame before me.
Four guard your inputs.
Just like junk food weakens thebody, junk energy weakens the
spirit.
Turn off chaos-filled newscycles and arguments online.

(50:53):
Stop following people whotrigger comparison and lack.
Protect your dreams by prayingover your pillow and sleeping
with black obsidian or amethyst.
Clear your space weekly,energetically and physically.
Five practice spiritualhydration.
It's not just water, it's thevibration of your thoughts.
Drink herbal teas withintention.

(51:15):
Speak affirmations into yourwater before you sip.
Hydrate your soul as much asyour skin.
Six ground daily in nature.
Put your bare feet on the earthfor 10 minutes a day.
Sun gaze in the early morning,touch plants, hug a tree, sit in
silence, listen to birds.

(51:36):
Nature resets your frequency.
Seven use spiritual oils andwares.
Wear oils like protection,crown of success, money draw and
peace oil.
Dress with intention White forpurity, red for protection, blue
for clarity, yellow for joy.
Wrap your head when aroundchaotic energy to seal your

(51:57):
crown.
Ancestral worship, call inprotection daily.
Use psalms, use chants, useYoruba prayers, use your voice.

(52:21):
Your words are medicine, asimple daily spiritual immunity
ritual.
Light a candle each morning,burn a cleansing herb or incense
.
Vhs say I am grounded, I amprotected, I am aligned.
All that is for me flows to me,all that is not for me flees.
Drink a glass of infused water.
Look in the mirror and say myenergy is enough, my peace is

(52:42):
non-negotiable.
I am the altar.
Even five minutes a day shiftsyour entire field.
Why this matters now more thanever entire field.
Why this matters now more thanever.
As the world gets louder, yourspirit must get quieter.
As technology speeds up, yourintuition must slow down.
As systems crumble, your innertemple must rise.

(53:03):
Spiritual immunity is yourenergetic inheritance.
It keeps you from repeatingtoxic patterns, it protects your
family line, it honors thesacrifices of your bloodline and
it empowers you to walk boldlyinto your future, because
physical healing withoutspiritual protection is
incomplete and we are no longersettling for half healing.

(53:25):
Final word for this section 2026is the year of energetic
reclamation.
This is not just the year wetake herbs, it's the year we
take our power.
This is not just the year weopen clinics.
It's the year we open ourchannels.
This is not just the year wecare for others.
It's the year we care for ourauras, our ancestors and our

(53:48):
alignment.
You are not fragile, you arefortified.
You are not cursed, you arecalled.
You are not fragile, you arefortified, you are not cursed.
You are called.
You are not broken, you arebecoming and in the final
segment of this episode we'regoing to wrap it all together
what all this has to do withrelationships, legacy and how we
love each other better when weheal ourselves.

(54:09):
Because at the core of Blackhealth, black wealth and Black
healing is Black love.
Final reflection Healingourselves to love each other
better.
The relationship betweenwellness, community and legacy.
Let's slow this moment down,take a breath with me, because
everything we've discussed fromhealth pods to birth work, from

(54:32):
therapy circles to food co-ops,from herbal healing to spiritual
immunity it all leads us backto one sacred truth we heal in
relationship with our bodies,with our spirits, with each
other.
There is no true health withoutconnection, there is no true
wealth without legacy, there isno true revolution without love.
And that's the missing threadin so many conversations about

(54:56):
wellness.
We talk about symptoms, we talkabout access, we talk about
statistics, but we don't alwaystalk about how our relationships
suffer when our health isunwell and how our health
suffers when our relationshipsare fractured, because, at the
end of the day, healing is abouthow we show up for each other,

(55:17):
how poor health erodesrelationships.
Let's keep it real when you'rein constant survival mode, when
your body is in pain, when yourmind is exhausted, when your
nervous system is overwhelmed,it becomes hard to love, not
because you don't want to, butbecause your cup is bone dry,

(55:37):
because you're pouring from awound instead of a well, because
you're reacting instead ofrelating, because you're trying
to fix, control or retreat whenwhat you really need is to be
held.
Think about how many argumentsstart because someone's simply
tired.
How many relationships sufferbecause we haven't?
Someone's simply tired?
How many relationships sufferbecause we haven't been taught
to rest?
How many marriages break downbecause of unspoken depression

(55:59):
or chronic illness that nevergot the right kind of care?
How many friendships dissolvebecause people are silently
battling anxiety and feel tooashamed to say I need you.
These things don't show up onlab tests, but they bleed into
our homes, into our parenting,into our partnerships, into our
purpose.

(56:19):
That's why healing is notselfish.
It's relational justice.
When you heal, you change howyou love.
When you eat better, you argueless.
When you breathe deeper, youlisten better.
When your energy is protected,you stop attracting people who
prey on your peace.
When your spiritual immunity isstrong, you stop mistaking

(56:42):
trauma bonds for soul ties.
Healing changes everything.
When we heal, our love becomesgenerational.
Let me ask you something what ifthe healthiest thing you ever
do for your family is not a jobor a house or a title, but
simply showing them whatwholeness looks like?

(57:03):
What if your children inherityour boundaries, not your
burnout?
What if your partner witnessesyour peace and finally finds
their own?
What if your home becomes asanctuary instead of a place to
collapse?
That's what happens when wechoose intentional health, not
just in crisis, but as alifestyle, a practice, a

(57:24):
commitment to loving better,because loving someone when
you're depleted is hard.
Loving someone when you'veregulated your nervous system,
recharged your spirit andreconnected with purpose, that
love is transformational.
We begin to love withoutprojecting.
We begin to speak withouttriggering.
We begin to parent withoutpassing down pain.

(57:45):
We begin to partner withoutperforming.
We begin to parent withoutpassing down pain.
We begin to partner withoutperforming.
We begin to create withoutcraving validation.
This is the kind of healingthat makes love sustainable.
Community healing isrelationship work.
Let's go even wider, becausewhen we heal ourselves, we don't
just fix our own homes.
We start fixing the entirevillage ourselves.

(58:07):
We don't just fix our own homes, we start fixing the entire
village.
That sister in your therapycircle she's a mother now
raising her kids differently.
That brother you showed herbalremedies to he's now off
medications and mentoring youngmen.
That elder you fed from yourgarden she's telling stories
again, sharing wisdom the youthforgot they needed.
That teen you taught how tomeditate.
She's now teaching her friendshow not to give their bodies

(58:29):
away just to feel seen.
Every act of healing is aripple.
Every restored body becomes abridge.
Every nourished soul becomes alight.
We become mirrors ofpossibility in a world obsessed
with pain, and that is sacred.
That is relationship work.
That is legacy.
What you can do right now.
Let's make this tangible Aftereverything you've heard in this

(58:54):
episode.
Here are five things you can dothis week to begin or deepen
your healing legacy.
Start a family health journal.
Record everyone's herbs,allergies, conditions, emotional
cycles, full moon reactions.
Let health be a shared language, not a hidden struggle.
Host a Sunday soul supper.
Make one healing meal a week.

(59:16):
Invite loved ones and ask how'syour heart?
Don't talk politics, talkspirit.
Gift a care ritual.
Drop off a bath kit, a teablend or a crystal to someone
you love.
Let them know healing is not asolo journey.
Join or create a circle, evenif it's just two to three
friends who meet monthly torelease, pray, cry and breathe.

(59:37):
That space will save lives.
Heal your romantic lens.
Ask do I attract love from myhealed self or my hurt self?
Begin the work of calling andconnections that match your
growth, not your pain.
Closing Mantra as we close thisjourney take this with you.

(59:59):
My healing is my inheritance.
My body is not broken, it isdivine.
My mind is not weak, it is wise.
My mind is not weak, it is wise.
My spirit is not lost, it islistening.
And my love is not conditional,it is revolutionary.
You are the sanctuary, you arethe altar, you are the medicine,
you are the future.
And in 2026, we're no longerwaiting to be saved.

(01:00:23):
We're saving each other,because Black health is Black
wealth, because DIY healing isdivine wisdom, because your
well-being is not up fornegotiation.
You are worthy of rest.
You are worthy of ritual.
You are worthy of wholeness.
Final call to action If thisepisode spoke to you, if it

(01:00:44):

power, please don't keep it toyourself.
