The ----white picket fence---- narrative: the family, perfect income and the perfect everything.....does not exist for everyone in the order society has set. And you shouldn't pressure yourself to strive for it, but strive to be the best you.This episode talks about why it's dangerous to marry to the ideal of the white picket fence and know that the Universe/God has the best in store for you!

For this Wellness Wednesday, I am speaking with London-based, Reiki Practitioner, Jaha Browne. Jaha started her Reiki journey in 2014. Two years later she found herself at the magical Findhorn Retreat in Scotland, which led her current Reiki teacher who attuned Jaha earlier this year to Level 2. Jaha is now learning about crystal and sound healing to combine with her Reiki treatments. She is currently a Practitioner at Bath Haus Spa in Barking.

----Wellness Wednesdays---- will feature a health professionals, enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and/or gurus from around the world. I will speak with them about their work and personal wellness habits.In this episode, I interviewed Philadelphia-based Jaynay Johnson. From suffering from teen depression to being written off by her family and teachers as being just another troubled teen, Jaynay C. Johnson has always been a firm believer that at any given moment you have the power to say, “this is not how the story is going to end.” Jaynay chose to take control of her story! Choosing to dedicate her life to uplifting and empowering the leaders of tomorrow, Jaynay’s body of work includes a published book, magazine features, radio interviews, and multiple guest appearances. Today, she tours and speaks to teens and families across the country, using her humor and “down to earth” style to take the edge off many of the tougher conversations she must have with her audiences. Jaynay has worked at local nonprofits, residential treatment homes and schools dedicated to offering a range of behavioral health/social services to those in the Greater Philadelphia region. It is here that Jaynay who received both her Bachelors and Masters from Delaware State University and La Salle University respectively, is able to once again tap into people’s deepest emotions and experiences in order help them reach the breakthrough moment that she also once experienced as a teen.
