Have you ever felt frustrated because your January financial resolutions aren't "blooming" yet? There is a biological and spiritual reason for that. In our recent session with Rahkim Sabree, a financial therapist and author of Overcoming Financial Trauma, for a deep dive into the mind-body-soul connection to our money. This wasn't a conversation about spreadsheets or how to financial basics...it was a conversation about healing. Some of the key highlights from the session are below. 🕒 Stop Fighting Nature’s Rhythm Nature’s New Year doesn't start in January; it starts in the Spring. - Winter is the season of the "Bulb": A time for dormancy, rest, reflection, and conservation of energy. - Preparation over Pressure: Activity is happening inside the bulb, even if it isn't visible yet. Use this time for research and planning so you can hit the ground running when Spring arrives. 🧬 Healing Ancestral Financial Trauma Rahkim introduced the concept of Financial Epigenetics. - For the Black community, our ancestors were once the actual currency of this country. - That historical trauma can live in our DNA, leading to a "survival mode" where wealth feels immoral or threatening. - Healing means moving from Survival Mode to Thriving Mode. 🛑 Are you "Financial Fawning"? Many of us stay in toxic environments because we have been socialized to suppress our true selves just to secure a check. Rahkim defines this as Financial Fawning. True freedom comes from identifying which pillar drives you: Power, Safety, or Freedom. 🔥 The Power of the "Offering" Rahkim shared a powerful personal story about losing his home to a fire exactly 30 days before his book launch. By listening to his intuition, he was able to save his dog and find a new sense of purpose through the loss. He reminds us: "There is no power without offering. And the greater the offering, the greater the power received." 📽️ WATCH THE FULL SESSION: I’ve uploaded the full video of this profound discussion below.

We opened our first King’s Circle talk with Akua Naru, who spoke on her journey, the enduring pull of Longing to Tell, and our documentary film Becoming Light. Together, we shared reflections on how to move with clarity, care, and courage as we step into 2026. Thank you to everyone who showed up and participated so fully today. This was only the beginning. Here's the replay for those that missed it or if you wish to see it again.

If you missed the session (or want a grounding reference), here are the core takeaways (and one page image for reference) from the conversation with Akua Naru and James Weeks: ✨ Key Takeaways This year’s guiding theme: Becoming Light Again → Releasing what weighs us down emotionally, spiritually, and financially. Art + purpose: Akua shared how her life’s work centers Black women’s interiority, love, and truth—art as a vehicle for healing, remembrance, and transformation. Love is the core: “What’s the point without love?” Divine timing is real: Akua spoke to the truth that not everything unfolds when we want it to—but when it’s ready. What feels delayed may actually be preparing us, not denying us. Trusting timing is part of staying light. Faith over certainty: The film project (Becoming Light Again) is moving forward without full funding yet—a reminder to step forward with who and what is already present. Community is the strategy: Freedom, healing, and sustainability are created inside the communities we build and nurture. Grace matters: Especially when juggling life, creativity, and care—grace is not weakness; it’s wisdom. 🧠 Practical Guidance for 2026 Don’t believe everything you think One foot after another (small steps compound) Do it now (don’t let tasks pile up) Go get the goal — and don’t come back without it 💬 Quotes to Sit With “Don’t believe everything you think.” “Trust the timing.” “Do it now.” “Go get it — and don’t come back without it.” “Becoming light again is a practice, not a moment”

In this powerful interview, astrologer Christopher Brown breaks down the major astrological themes shaping 2026 and what they mean for individuals and the collective. Christopher offers grounded insights and practical guidance to help you align with the energies of the year ahead rather than resist them. 🔮 In this conversation, we cover: The dominant astrological themes of 2026• Major planetary shifts and long-term cycles• How to prepare for and work with 2026’s energy Please Note: I will be uploading this video to the spiritual classroom and will be breaking it down into smaller segments so that you can absorb the core teachings of this interview easier. I will let you know what resonated with me the most, and what I feel you should pay attention to get the most out of 2026.

I’m still feeling so energized from our very first live session today. 🙏 Deeply grateful to Eugene and Ines for showing up and generously sharing your insights, and to Chris for the vision and the countless hours you poured into bringing this platform to life. Huge appreciation as well to Lia and Stacy for being among our very first founders. This is one of those days that I know we’ll look back on a few months from now and smile. You all showed up before anyone else—as true founders—and I don’t take that lightly. I loved the intimacy of the session. For me, this already feels different from other platforms I’ve been part of. I see the King’s Circle as an opportunity not just to learn, but to reclaim our power—to create more financial stability, deeper meaning, and a life that feels aligned. It’s also a space where we can hear spiritual perspectives we might not otherwise encounter. I’m really looking forward to next week’s session with astrologer Chris Brown, and our end-of-year gathering with my dynamic co-host, Akua Naru. Thank you again for being part of this meaningful journey. I’m grateful to be building this with you. 👑✨
