Protect Your Peace and Prepare for a Month of Healing
Welcome, beautiful soul. Whether you’re new here or you’ve been riding with The Sacred Sunflower Podcast for a while, I’m so glad you’re here. Today, we’re setting the stage for something powerful: Mental Health May.
This isn’t just about raising awareness—it’s about creating space for real healing, reflection, and rest. It’s about giving yourself permission to be soft, to pause, and to rebuild from a place of wholeness.
Celebrating Your Wins (Big and Small)
Before we dive deeper, I want to honor you.
Take a moment. Think about one thing—big or small—that made you smile, helped you unclench your jaw, or lowered your shoulders since we last gathered.
Maybe you paused for a few deep breaths. Maybe you said “no” without guilt. Maybe you just got out of bed on a hard day.
Whatever it is, say it out loud. Celebrate it.
You deserve to be proud of your progress, no matter the size.
I’m clapping for you. I’m cheering for you. And I’m proud of you.
The Heart Behind Mental Health May
I created this month’s experience with you in mind.
For so many of us, especially in Black, Brown, and marginalized communities, conversations around mental health can feel heavy. We’re taught to survive, to push through, to be “fine” even when we’re not.
This month, I’m inviting you to take off the cape.
To rest without guilt.
To realize the world will keep spinning even if you sit down and breathe.
You are not the Energizer Bunny. You are a human being—worthy of peace, softness, and healing.

Why These Conversations Matter
Mental health struggles aren’t failures. They’re part of the human experience.
And sometimes prayer, love, and strength look like finding a therapist, joining a community, or just saying, “I’m not okay”—and being held in that truth.
Faith without works is dead, right?
So maybe prayer led you here, to a space where healing is available and judgment is left at the door.
Therapy helped me, community helped me—and I believe both could help you too.
Healing Is Possible
You deserve to feel safe again. You deserve to trust yourself again.
And even if it feels far away right now, isn’t it worth exploring?
Many of us have confused burnout and perfectionism with strength and resilience.
But real strength is choosing rest. Real resilience is allowing yourself to change.
This May, let’s write a new chapter together.
You don’t have to keep taking the same road if it always leads you to the same place.

Missing, But Not Forgotten
Every podcast and blog post I share features a missing Black person—because our stories deserve to be seen, heard, and remembered. Too often, when Black people go missing, media coverage is minimal, the public interest is low, and the system moves slow. We’re changing that—one name, one face, one post at a time.
