Value Yourself Like Organic Raspberries
/The next time you’re worried you’re asking for too much money, think about how many raspberries have the audacity to cost $7 for ONE 6oz container. We need organic raspberry confidence!
In the yoga world, there is an undercurrent of thought that:
1 - you must be thin, white, able-bodied, rich and young;
2 - you need to share and bare all on socials;
3 - you need to give it away for free.
🚫NOT TRUE!🚫
I think it's so so important to have diversity and representation from all types of people, as it creates a greater depth of understanding. Learning from other's lived experiences and seeing different body shapes and abilities is invaluable 🙌🏿🙌🏾🙌🏽🙌🏼🙌🏻
If social media isn't your jam or you don't want to monetize your trauma, great! Find how you can show up in spaces (virtual and irl) and actually be interacting with folx in your community. Often, listening and responding to people is more connecting.
Take a cue from raspberries and respect yourself! Your expertise and learning took time, energy, love and money. We value what we pay for and people learning from you will show up in a different (better) way.
As I've grown and evolved as a teacher and human, I've learned to embody this and uplift others. Yay to continued expansion!
