Spill, Dub, and M Archive by @alexispauline.bsky.social are three of my favorite books and I always recommend them TOGETHER!

I was rereading Spill early last year when I was called to think about fugitivity, resistance, and marronage after the election as inauguration.

We designed our eight week cohort TRUST FALL as a supportive space for LOVEBIRDS who are seeking divine partnership grounded in a deepened compassion for yourself. A sweet flock of lovebirds has already signed up. We start in less than a week on Oct 19th! And as soon as you sign up you can access our past Lovebirds videos to get in the spirit! And if you want to add direct coaching with us, you can! Link is in the bio. I love you (I learned how by loving me!)

How do you learn to trust yourself again when you secretly blame yourself for every heartbreak?
