  🧠 The Think Tank Series: Minds That Shape Healing True transformation isn’t just about changing the body — it’s about awakening the mind and restoring the spirit. The Think Tank Series honors the teachers who’ve guided me through the deeper layers of healing — the parts that science begins, but soul completes. Each thinker offered me a light: Carl Jung helped me face the shadow and rewrite the stories beneath old wounds. Dr. Sigmund Freud revealed the roots of my subconscious habits and how they shape my choices. Frantz Fanon taught me to reclaim my agency and confront inherited psychological patterns. Dr. Frances Cress Welsing reminded me that healing also means confronting systemic and ancestral imprints that shape identity and behavior. Patrice Malidoma Somé reconnected me to ritual, ancestry, and the sacred energy of transformation. Michael Beckwith and Iyanla Vanzant helped me align my vibration — teaching that healing flows from self-forgiveness, spiritual practice ...

Tending Mind and Spirit While on GLP-1: Iyanla Vanzant’s Guidance One thing I realized on this journey is that the mind and spirit needed tending too. That’s where Iyanla Vanzant became a guiding light. Her teachings on honesty, reflection, and daily practice showed me that true change isn’t rushed — it’s built from consistent, mindful action. Vanzant emphasizes that healing starts with truth — naming what’s real in your life without avoiding it. For me, that meant acknowledging my long-held people-pleasing habits , inherited anxiety , and the ways past experiences shaped my choices around food, self-care, and body image.

Before each GLP-1 shot, I pause to set intention, honoring both my progress and the areas where I still need compassion.
