As the nation celebrates July 4th, we’re holding space for those who feel the weight of this day — not as freedom, but as a reminder of contradictions, grief, and unhealed wounds.

Did you know that at least 41 signers of the Declaration of Independence enslaved people while writing about “liberty and justice for all”?

In this solo episode, we dive deep into:
▪️ The truth about the Founding Fathers and slavery
▪️ The emotional and mental toll of celebrating “freedom” in a country where many still fight for basic rights
▪️ How generational trauma and racial battle fatigue show up today
▪️ Affirmations + mental health practices to support you this July 4th

Mental liberation is just as important as political freedom.
You are not alone in the complexity. You are allowed to feel it all.

✨ Stream now on all major platforms.
