UnEarthed Advocacy and Activism
On being a true holistic healing practitioner: Our mental health cannot be reduced to a single narrative. We are way more complex and dynamic than we realize. When we explore the biological, relational, personal, spiritual, and societal factors that co-create our emotional and mental wellbeing, we open up to a deeper holistic healing.
Sacred activism recognizes that our individual human journeys are intertwined with all of humanity, and our actions hold the power to create positive change far beyond our immediate experience. Through sacred activism, we embrace the unity of all beings. Engaging in activism and advocacy and awareness intends to alleviate the suffering of others in balance with nurturing a sense of meaning and wellness within ourselves. This is holistic therapy. In a society that frequently celebrates individualism, adopting sacred activism requires a significant shift in mindset and a dedication to living as an essential part of a broader system…..the natural world.

We are all interconnected in this journey of life. Our actions ripple out far beyond ourselves, shaping the world we inhabit. The world we inhabit also shapes our minds and our bodies. This is the essence of Eco-Psychology. Eco-psychology teaches us to understand ourselves and the world around us better, to recognize that nature is not something separate from us, but that we, too, are part of "nature." By shifting our relationship with our environment, and using the natural world as an ally rather than something to conquer, we also shift the relationship with our innermost selves.

When one tugs on a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world
— John Muir
My journey as an advocate began when I entered this crazy beautiful world. Growing up, I was often labeled as the "overly emotional" and kid among my family and peers. It was only later in my life that I learned there is a label for people like me. I am what social psychologists now refer to as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and an Empath. If you're reading this, chances are you might be one too! This deep connection with everything and everyone can feel like a rollercoaster ride, and embracing the HSP superpower (which sometimes feels like a super curse!) is an ongoing journey.
This path as a deep feeler has consistently led me to advocate for humans, animals, and the environment. I strive to be a voice for the voiceless, challenge current cultural norms, and shine a light in those dark places that we tend to avoid. By using compassion, empathy, and intuition to guide my actions, my goal is to inspire a change in how we perceive and interact.
