Seducing Yourself With Sound
The most common anchor all throughout the history of hardships in the world has always been music and dance. All cultures, all peoples, from all over the world, have their own form of music and dance - despite not ever having crossed paths with anyone else in the world in many cases. There is something profound to be said about this observation. In short - music heals the soul because music is born from the human soul.

Jackillem: Long Live the Legendary LatinaThird Place in Women Who Inspire Challenge
I like to think I have an abundance of inspiring women to write about. I could tell you the story of how my grandmother came from living in poverty during and post WWII in a family of 11 to finding wealth in America. I could talk about my incredible doula friends for days that are undoing the indoctrination of fear that exists around birth culture. In case you're unfamiliar, birth doulas are (usually) women who educate and offer emotional and physical support to a pregnant person before, during and after giving birth. It's like the best friend you could ever ask for during pregnancy. I could also introduce you to my main inspiration these days, a bad ass single mother living in a country where she had no friends or family that grew a business that didn't really exist, into a 6 figure company. I'm truly blessed to be surrounded and influenced by so many kick ass women in my life. But when I read the prompt for this writing challenge, there was only one woman who came to mind. I want to tell you about my friend Jacky.
