Let's talk about a YAWN.

We all yawn from time to time and society has taught us that it is disrespectful to yawn in the presence of others.

Reasons why yawning is good for you:
1. Stimulates alertness and concentration
2. Optimizes brain activity and metabolism
3. Stress reliever and relaxes you
4. Improves ability to recall memories
5. Increases empathy and social awareness
6. Moves your nervous system from a "Fight or Flight" state, into "Rest and digest"
7. Cools the brain and regulate your internal temperature

You will NOT yawn when you are in a stressful or traumatic state.
You will NOT yawn when you feel threatened or fearful.

Assess the situation, and ask yourself next time - why is someone yawning in my presence?

Do they feel safe?
Do they feel relaxed in your presence?
Do you facilitate a space for them to just "be"?

Time to change the narrative. 💜🩷💚💙

Religious trauma doesn’t just live in your beliefs.
It lives in your body.

When fear is preached as faith, when control is framed as love, when God is used as a weapon, your nervous system learns to stay on high alert. That’s the vagus nerve doing exactly what it was designed to do: protect you.

Hypervigilance.
Shutdown.
Anxiety.
Dissociation.

These aren’t spiritual failures.

They’re biological responses to chronic threat.

This is why you can leave a harmful theology and still feel unsafe.

Your body remembers what your mind was taught to survive.

Healing religious trauma isn’t just about changing beliefs.

It’s about helping the nervous system learn safety again.
If this resonates, you’re not broken.
You adapted.

Crying is how babies from birth to about five years old communicate their needs. When caregivers regularly ignore these cries, the baby’s stress response system becomes overstimulated and unregulated. This repeated stress, especially without comfort, can alter how a child’s brain, nervous system, and immune system develop. Scientists refer to this as stress becoming “biologically embedded,” meaning early experiences shape long-term health and behavior.

When a baby cries without being soothed, stress hormones like cortisol flood their body. If this happens too often, it can interfere with how the brain grows—especially areas responsible for emotions, thinking, and memory. Studies on both animals and humans show that neglect during early years leads to increased anxiety, stronger fear reactions, and slower development of the frontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making and emotional control.

Brain scans of children who experienced early neglect—such as those raised in institutions—show physical changes, including reduced white matter (needed for learning) and enlarged amygdalae (linked to fear and anxiety). Over time, this can lead to problems with self-control, focus, and learning.

Ignoring babies’ distress also weakens emotional bonding. Babies who are consistently comforted learn to trust their caregivers. But if crying is ignored, they may form insecure attachment patterns. These children often grow up more anxious, emotionally distant, or unable to manage stress well.

Biologically, early emotional neglect also affects hormone balance and the immune system. Chronically stressed babies often show abnormal cortisol levels and higher inflammation markers. This makes them more vulnerable to illnesses and long-term conditions like depression, heart disease, and metabolic issues later in life.

Behaviorally, these children are more likely to struggle with anxiety, aggression, or attention problems. Studies show that even years later, children who experienced early emotional neglect score lower in language and problem-solving skills and may face challenges in relationships.

In short, babies need responsive care not just for emotional reasons, but to support healthy brain, hormone, and immune system development. While occasional crying is normal, ongoing neglect of emotional needs in early years can leave long-lasting biological and psychological marks.

We have been quiet on social media, but definitely BUSY behind the scenes.

On Saturday, we were privileged to offer training to Inner-City Ministry volunteers, The Elevation Hub employees, and a few others.
The topic: Understanding The Brain & How It Relates to GOD on a practical level.

We had loads of fun, and this was most certainly just the beginning!
Ps 139:14 "for you are fearfully and wonderfully made".💜

"What holds your gaze, holds your heart" -
What occupies your mind and what you focus on, you give power to...
May this period be a time of reflection and realignment.
(Every cell in your body is eavesdropping on your thoughts)

As most of us begin to 'unwind' in this period, may you truly reflect on the past year and assess what served your wellbeing, and what drained you.
Be good to YOU! You are the most important person in your life, you can't give from an empty love-tank 🩵💙💜🤍

Your thoughts have creative power!
Think BIG, think POSITIVE, think POSSIBLE!

Life is not made to be done alone. God has deposited everything inside of us to be conquerors, warriors.
He is with us, ALL the time. Are we with Him in all we do?
We are very often comfortable to remain in our comfort zones. This prevents growth in all areas of our lives.
Ask yourself where this comes from? What is your purpose?
To just survive, or to THRIVE?
If you need help finding the answers, reaching out to someone only carries shame if you feel unworthy.
You are AMAZING! You are WORTHY! You can live FREE from those things holding you back💜
