How to Honor your own Boundaries, Racial Justice and Emotional Fluency: A Conversation with Dr. Isha Vela

Hey, Beautiful One.
In honor of this December new moon, I'm publishing this interview with Dr. Isha Vela. 
Isha is a psychologist who works with the physical body to release trauma and find your powerful unique self.  We first met at Beyond Diversity 101 and subsequently co-facilitated a self-care boot camp for women of color.

In this episode we talk about

• Noticing the abundance we live with all the time
• Respecting your own boundaries first 
• Knowing your nervous system's capacity day to day or moment to moment
• What to do when people withdraw or get mad at you for setting boundaries
• Intimacy wounds and guilt or shame that we are not doing enough
• How this applies to racial justice activism and advocacy for people of color and for white folx
• Mercury in retrograde as a great time for emotional release

Dr. Isha says "emotional fluencies are our capacity to be able to name what's happening in our bodies and also give ourselves permission to feel through it all the way… because when we hold [on to anger or grief], it becomes toxic to us."
