Description

Hey, Uprooted Fam 👋🏾 thank you for tuning into ‘Uproot Your Thoughts’ on the Uprooted Network. This is the segment where we get to examine our lives, our thoughts, and our trauma as we build the bridge to the lives we want to live. Because we often form our beliefs and thoughts from what we see and hear this space focuses on pulling out the negative and rerooting ourselves in positivity.

In today’s episode Hanna, or as the fam knows her as Rutha dives into a deep conversation with Lacey Rochelle, a training therapist and amazing poet. She shares so openly and vulnerably about the healing process she's taken that ultimately led to writing her book 'Father Do You Love Me'. We got to do lots of uprooting in this episode while taking accountability for ourselves and our portion of the messes we found ourselves in.
