Practice Dirty: Using Mindfulness to Develop Unshakeable Inner Calm
Practice Dirty is a podcast that explores ways of thinking and being that help black and women of color explore their inner well-being through somatic practices and mindfulness.
The podcast is non-linear, while I offer my own experiences and knowledge, I also talk to others who are working to expand the definition of wellness. I offer a lot of guided, self-introspection episodes to help you manage your own journey to inner well-being and balance.
