I did a FB Live interview with my friend, Ife Miligan recently.
We’re both from St. Croix, Virgin Islands. In fact, she grew up across the street from my grandma’s house.
Ife is a spiritual medium, as well as a trained therapist and dedicated teacher of the sacred orisa dance traditions that originated with the Yoruba people of West Africa.
We spoke about emotional wellness and shared tips for connecting with ancestors: You can check out our conversation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6zLd_ZlyNA&t=110s
My journey has taught me that our emotional health is the foundation for everything. It’s a long journey. We must constantly monitor our emotional health and work to improve it.
Everything is connected, as Ife points out in our talk. How we feel emotionally impacts our health and our Spirit.
Over the years I’ve also learned that our emotional health also impacts our finances. It’s difficult to build wealth if we are not emotionally stable or hopeful about the future.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. You’re not alone. I believe we must all find ways to support each other.
Here are some nuggets from Ife:
1. Emotionally wellness is your birthright. You are deserving of being well.
2. Pay attention to what your emotions are trying to teach you. There are lessons and opportunities within your emotions.
3. Allow your emotions to tell you what you need.
4. Go inward. Honor yourself and check in with yourself. Pay attention.
Here are some tips that I shared:
1. Let go of things that are beyond your control.
2. Let go of the expectations of others that have nothing to do with your life.
3. Maintain a daily spiritual practice.
4. Understand that things usually happen in God’s time — not in our own time.
Ife also shared something that I think is important. She talked about surrendering — and then surrendering some more.
When you feel tested, and you will be tested, ask yourself: how can I surrender some more?

This is all for now. Would love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to write at your convenience.
May the ancestors guide and protect you always.
