Customizing the jewels that set our crowns.

Self-Discovery is Self-Care with Kristin Hood Ricondo

Self-Discovery was arguably one of the hardest parts of my healing journey because I was living through an identity that wasn't wholly my own. When I began my journey it required me to radically choose myself and in doing so I had to relinquish the parts of me I thought I knew and unlearn, rebirth, and rediscover who I was authentically.
The process of self-discovery was for me a love letter to myself and a daily practice of self-care and self-nourishment. Through this practice I was able to restore the power that dwelled within me and develop...
Healing from Within with Crystal Wright Adams

As we journey through our healing a lot of us find ourselves uncovering that a lot of our behaviors, responses, and negative patterns are survival or coping mechanisms we created from a place of trauma in our childhood age. We find ourselves still reacting, responding, and engaging in childlike behaviors spurned out of childhood trauma manifesting in our adult relationships with ourselves and others today. We’ve played out these behaviors so often they metastasize into every aspect of our lives that it becomes our identity.Â
No longer able to recognize yourself as who you were prior to...
Who Told You You Weren't Worthy with Kim

As women we often find ourselves in a silent battle over ideas of self-worth. Often operating in spaces in both our personal and professional lives where we feel as though we are imposter. Unworthy of taking up space in a particular landscape? Why is that? There are a multitude of reasons ranging from patriarchal societal norms bred out of historical traditions, roles, customs that have yet to be reformed to invite women into the experience that is life.Â
We’ve known that narrative to be true but what they don’t tell you or what we as women...
Healing From Past Truths Part 1 with Hudain Bholai

In the spirit of love and relationships, I'm bringing you a self-reflective, intriguing, and introspective set of conversations on relationships. How we heal from past truths/traumas from previous relationships and how we come whole in our present ones. Whether that's moving forward in the greatest relationship that is with yourself or how you come whole in a brand new one. From both conversations and perspectives you will find that the healing journey is unique for everyone and that the common theme is that we must heal, discover ourselves, and repair the relationship with ourselves so that we can...

Reframe Your Healing

Welcome back, Happy first week of a new month. Happy Black History Month! On today’s episode of the podcast I had, and still have every intention to discuss the topic of healing. Specifically, today we were going to discuss reframing our mindset around the topic of healing. I still to intend to talk about that but I’ll be going about it in a way that was unexpected and not quite what I planned.Â
Hopefully the what I provide today paints a vivid picture on the necessity of healing and changing our mind around what it means...
Vision is Seeing What Others Cannot

Hello Ladies and welcome back! Happy New Year! That’s right it’s still the New Year and we’re in a New Month! Tell me what is the first thing that comes to mind for you as we arrive at the New Year. If your anything like me and well the rest of the world, as a society we tend to look to the New Year as a clean slate. New opportunities and a chance to make some dreams reality. I’m no stranger to this! It was in the New Year that Visionary Jewels became a vision that was...
When Perfectionism Becomes Procrastination

Hey There, It’s been awhile since we last spoke and I’m compelled to ask… How are you all doing? How are you feeling? I ask because this time of year can bring on a multitude of complex emotions. As we know in life we flow through extreme high’s and sometimes very low low’s and some of us are fighting silent battles. Â
Can I be honest. My life has been pretty hectic. I thought I’d come on here and share because I feel it is so relevant and so important for my listeners to understand...
Solace In Solitude Reveals Truth

In the first episode, I talked about a vision I received recently that is the vision that is Visionary Jewels. In this episode, I want to talk about the preparation I had to go through to be able to receive that vision. That preparation didn’t come overnight. It wasn’t all sunshine and roses, it took years, sometimes it was painful, and in the end magnificent. It was necessary and at times remains a practice of mine to continue on the path of clarity.
What am I saying when I say spiritual solitude? For me it is t...
There's Levels to This: Intersectionality with Ciera Young

We as women all face unique experiences in our lives that cause us to go through many challenging and sometimes traumatic ebb’s and flows. Unfortunately, without we as a society doing the important work of healing and reckoning with the systemically ingrained transgressions and traumas that plague us we as a society fail to heal. We disparage the chance for women to craft and curate their own identities unbeholden to societal expectations and norms.Â
I want to continue the conversation on the topic identity as we did last time on episode 2. On today's episode I will app...
Whose Identity is it Anyways?

On this episode I'm going to give it to ya'll straight, no chaser! We are going to dive into the topic of identity as it's defined by normative societal patriarchal gender norms. The main thesis being, that I feel women inherently come into their womanhood lost because our views and our worth are shaped by societal and patriarchal norms from the very start. Our identity is warped before it can even begin to mature into its authenticity. Our value is determined by whether we attain the roles the patriarchal society would like us to accept. This conditioning goes beyond t...
