Before anything can heal, it must move.
In this week’s episode, Dr. Malaika invites us to reflect on The Water — as a symbol of emotion, memory, and the sacred power of flow. Through personal storytelling, cultural wisdom, and guided ritual, she explores how grief becomes movement, how ritual restores rhythm, and how community holds us when the waves rise.
The Water reminds us that emotions are not weaknesses to suppress — they are messages to honor. Healing begins the moment we stop resisting the current and allow ourselves to feel, release, and begin again.
