This episode explores resources through a decolonised lens. Resources can include self-regulation skills as well as people, places and things that we can access to support ourselves along our journey towards healing. 


Decolonised practices and resources can help to cut through the mental maze we get caught up in through overanalysing and can help us resist the systems that keep us disempowered, separate and unwell. 


Topics explored: 

  • Decolonising our mentality towards mainstream approaches to mental health and viewing wellness through a holistic lens. 

  • Cyclical and symbiotic living in sync with our natural rhythms and the importance of slowing down.

  • Somatic practices – practical resources that can support with emotional regulation. 

  • Co regulation and how our nervous systems are hardwired to engage with each other, animals and nature. 

  • Rituals to create meaning, intentionality and connectedness in our daily lives.
