So fast forward to last week. After building a relationship over the course of nearly two years, I finally interviewed New York Times bestselling author, Resmaa Menakem, for my Mind-Blowing Happiness™ Podcast. You see, I’m not just a DEI speaker, I’m a transformational coach, soul-healing retreat leader, and the author of a bestselling book called 12 Steps to Mind-Blowing Happiness with a podcast and brand that bears the same name. Resmaa is a trauma specialist and healer best known for his brilliant book, My Grandmother’s Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies. I became a huge fan of Resmaa’s work since being introduced to his book in a yoga teacher training program back in 2020. He’s been interviewed by Oprah, Dr. Phil, and Charlamagne tha God, so he’s kind of a big deal. And, it’s not every day that I get to interview a wildly successful author, antiracism thought leader, and somatic healer, so I was thrilled.
