Monáe's Musings | Fabulous and Fortunate Podcast

Tonight I’m sinking into this bubble bath like it’s the only doorway left into my own softness. The world is loud, timelines shifting, emotions cracking open, revelations hitting like lightning: and yet here I am, letting warm water hold me the way no one else ever has. Chaos can swirl, people can project, life can demand, but this tub? This is where my spirit remembers itself. This is where I breathe again. 

I recently went to my family’s reunion and being there had me thinking about how important it is to enjoy life’s moments as they come because you never know what will come next. Sometimes we have moments in life that remind us that no matter what has happened before – we have the chance to enjoy the now. I have had many of these moments and it’s one the things I’m the most passionate talking about. One of the things I am aware of that can impact the ability to enjoy life is past trauma. Trauma does indeed have the potential to keep us anchored to the past, but something that can frame a better mindset is how amazing it is that we have the chance to continue living and making this life beautiful, using the pain of the past to fuel our desire to be in joy.

Yesterday’s podcast episode mused about this and much more, such as enjoying life’s pleasures unapologetically, standing in the face of global trauma, unpredictable and unprecedented times, working with the creativity and magic of Leo season, embracing sensuality as a practice, and moving forward with grace – with a little astrological help from the recent Capricorn full moon.
