How to Stay Spiritually Grounded During a Crisis: Rest, Resilience, and Renewal

In this episode, I share how I spiritually ground myself during moments of collective crisis, and invite you to do the same. Whether you're healing from religious trauma, navigating a spiritual awakening, or reclaiming ancestral wisdom, these times can feel overwhelming. That’s why I center this conversation on rest, nervous system regulation, and intentional rituals. I created this offering especially for mystics, healers, and seekers, particularly from diasporic and marginalized communities, who are seeking to reclaim personal power, connect with ancestral guidance, and return home to self and spirit.

In this episode of A Soulful Rebellion, I had the pleasure of speaking with self-care alchemist Cassandra Juniphant about the deep connection between self-care and spirituality. We explored how self-care is often misunderstood as selfish, how generational trauma can shape our approach to caring for ourselves, and why it’s so important to honor the body as a sacred temple. Cassandra shared practical ways to embrace self-care, encouraging us to become disciples of our own bodies and to protect our callings by prioritizing our health. Our conversation was filled with powerful insights on nurturing both body and spirit for true holistic wellness and personal transformation.
