Investing in Healing is Strategy
Collective Healing is Generational Wealth
“I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear
I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars that keep us apart
I wish you could know what it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
That every man should be free
I wish I could give all I'm longing to give
I wish I could live like I'm longing to live
I wish I could do all the things that I can do
Though I'm way overdue, I'd be starting anew
Well, I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
Oh, I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And then I'd sing 'cause I'd know, yeah
Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know, yeah
Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know
I'd know how it feels
I'd know how it feels to be free, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'd know how it feels
Yes, I'd know, I'd know how it feels
How it feels to be free, Lord, Lord, Lord, yeah”
I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free
~Nina Simone
We have to decide who we want to be.
While there is a time and place for everything, violence teaches us nothing new. Investing in healing is strategy.
Whole with Joy exists because that decision matters now more than ever. This work is about healing what has left us broken, from the wounds we carry in our bodies and spirits to the collective fractures that show up as division, despair, and spiritual scarcity. This isn't about pretending everything is fine. It's about choosing to heal in the middle of crisis. It's about building something different—together.
On June 24th, I thought I was simply sharing my vision for Whole with Joy during a branding shoot. But what unfolded was far more, it became a collective ritual.
Strangers gathered on the land. We breathed. We listened. We held each other's stories. We laughed. We remembered what this culture teaches us to forget who we truly are.
This is the work, creating spaces where people can heal the scarcity that tells them they're not enough, break through the separation that keeps us isolated, and remember the purpose that lives in their bones. Through prosperity coaching, healing circles, and earth-based practices, we return to wholeness together.
This path is both personal and collective. It asks for willingness: to sit in the unknown, face discomfort, practice humility, let go of what we think we know, stay curious, and listen deeply. It also asks us to root in the wisdom of our bodies and the earth, and to allow space for joy to guide the way.
Whole with Joy is my vision for healing in divided times. A reminder that another way is possible.
