We Are Medicine: Healing Through Yoga, Plant Medicine, and Radical Self-Love with Taylor Briggs

In this transformative episode of Conversations That Heal, Dr. Stephanie Diane Jeffreys sits down with Taylor Briggs—a multifaceted entrepreneur, yoga teacher, and founder of Sol | Locs and Wellness. Taylor shares her powerful journey of self-discovery and liberation through yoga, Reiki, plant medicine, and holistic care designed to serve and uplift the Black community.

From her life-changing trip to Ghana in 2019 to launching Sol Locs during the pandemic, Taylor’s path has been one of courage, surrender, and rebirth. She opens up about how a heroic dose of mushrooms in 2022, coupled with a deep commitment to yoga, became the catalyst for releasing trauma, breaking generational cycles, and stepping into full authenticity and sobriety.

Together, we explore what it means to truly heal in a world that profits from our pain, and why Taylor believes we are the medicine—capable of rewiring our minds, healing our lineage, and living with deep intention.
