2 OCT 2024 · Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Yasmine Cheyenne. Yasmine reminds us that no matter what happens in our lives, we can decide to put one foot in front of the other, choosing to begin again. A roadmap to self-healing and tapping into our inner wisdom when we need it most, from mental wellness advocate, self-healing educator, and author of The Sugar Jar Yasmine Cheyenne. “When I decided to stop hiding in the shadows of what I’d been through and embrace the hills and rugged terrain of my life, I saw who I really was and loved her.” —FROM THE EPILOGUE We’re each walking our own journey, and sometimes it's a hard one: a divorce, a career change, grief, or a major life transition. These chapters of our lives can leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed, thinking, “How did I end up here?” Most often, the answers we tell ourselves make us feel either stuck on the path or stuck in shame. We are uncomfortable with the discomfort that life inevitably presents. But another possibility is that we allow this question to spark curiosity that inspires and invites us to keep going, step by step until we arrive on the other side of our journey. Wisdom of the Path helps you: Have more patience with yourself during struggles
Gather the lessons and wisdom of your past to courageously face new untraveled roads ahead
Stand in your power and create the future you desire
Embrace that each journey—good and bad—has informed our core wisdom. Wisdom of the Path weaves stories of grief, heartbreak, joy, and overcoming that invite you to gather the wisdom you’ve collected throughout your life and use it for your path ahead. Anchored in four guideposts: base camp, intent, walk the talk, and lessons learned, this soulful and warm storytelling guide encourages us to embrace the bumpy roads of our lives with knowledge and knowing that we’re moving forward. #BEST #STRAWSee https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
