34: A compassionate POV on why people copy and imitate.

Hello, in this episode, we talk about why people copy and imitate, offering a compassionate perspective with some truths to help you get beyond both the resistance that comes with fear of being copied and imitated, and understanding why we copy and imitate at all. Things we get into: 💚 For creators/artists/influencers, accepting being copied as part of the journey, and learning from 3D celebrities who are constantly being manifested by people. 💚 Navigating the call for ancestral healing during these times. 💚 Decolonial lens on Black women imitating and copying the beauty that comes naturally to other women as an aftermath of colonialisation 💚 The role of compassion in dealing with imitation/copying instances. 💚 Pain avoidance as part of the reason why we copy/imitate.

Self-Harm Recovery | Addiction | Spirituality | Black Women’s Mental Health.

Bonus video edition! I haven’t felt this excited to share an episode as much as I am with this one. This is a journey that I have written about on other platforms, Medium and Substack, and now I have a whole episode talking about my journey with the recovery and healing.Things we talk about:♥︎ The stigma around self-harming.♥︎ Why do we self-harm (going beyond the personal to what we have been facing as a collective, including racism and the necessity to decolonise)♥︎ Shifting to healthier coping mechanisms♥︎ The role of my spirituality as part of my healing and recovery. As part of your healing and recovery, I recommend therapy / counselling, services / healing services. Having a non-judgmental and compassionate space where you can discuss self-harming and unpack the reasons behind it helps a lot.✯✯✯ Thank you for being here.💗Please like / share / follow/rate this podcast, it helps to boost it so it can reach more beautiful souls and helps me with my journey of being a creative soulpreneur too!✯✯✯Check out more of my work, including my Substack newsletter and books out now via my website [https://laurelsibanda.com].
