Ep 258: Origin Stories | Remembering Some, Releasing Others

Fare of the Free Child

What is your connection to your origin story? Do you feel tied to your origin in ways that feel good and grounding? Or do you feel tethered to something that doesn’t quite feel like you?

What do you think about when you read or hear the words Origin Story, anyway?

• Do you think about the start of your actual life?
• Or a particular relationship?
• A specific place?
• A type of food?
• An event?

On this episode, you’ll hear some of me (Akilah) and Naaz’s (aka Fatima’s) origin story—how we met, and where we were in our respective lives when we joined forces. It’s more of an origins-to-now story, with plenty examples about following the threads that led us to peace and release! Plus, Dr. Crystal Menzies of EmancipatED and I have a real-ass convo about releasing aspects of our origin stories as creators, as givers, as liberation workers, so that we can live in ways that align with our current needs, energies, and intentions.
