    Whole Hearted Westcoast Living | Season 2

    What do hip hop rivalries and family systems have in common? More than you’d think. In this episode, we crack open the concept of “beef”—not just the lyrical kind that’s rocked stages and headlines, but the everyday conflict we carry into our homes, relationships, and healing journeys.

    From Tupac vs. Biggie to generational trauma, we're unpacking how confrontation, authenticity, and even dysfunction can be pathways to growth. Join us as we weave together the evolution of hip hop with personal stories, therapeutic insight, and the power of resolving tension in meaningful ways.

    This episode isn’t just about music—it’s about real life, deep healing, and of course - beef.

    Season 2: Ep 05 - Ceremony
    Apr 11 2025
    Healing Is Ceremony, Even When It Doesn’t Look Like It

    In this episode, we’re unpacking the meaning of ceremony — not just the kind with sage and prayer, but the ones that live in everyday moments. From lowrider Sundays and oldies playlists to hip hop battles and hot yoga sessions, we explore the ways different communities have always found healing through movement, rhythm, and connection.

    We get real about how Western mental health has pulled from Indigenous traditions — somatic work, community rituals, plant medicine, and ceremony — often without honoring where they came from. And we share how reclaiming these roots brings deeper meaning to our healing journeys.

    This one’s for anyone finding their way back to self, culture, and spirit. Whether it’s through dance, tears, prayer, or playlist — healing is already in us. It’s in the rhythm. It’s in the practice. It’s in the everyday sacred.

    🎧 Tap in and remember: healing isn’t always quiet — sometimes it hits like a beat drop or smells like your grandma’s kitchen.

    Season 2: Ep 04 - Social Work is People Work
    Mar 27 2025
    “Social work ain’t what you thought.” In this fire episode of The Wholehearted West Coast Living Podcast, Brittani, Alex, and Mike break down the real roots of social work — beyond textbooks and titles — and bring it home to the block, the culture, and the community. This ain’t your average lecture. We’re talking grandmas as the OG social workers, mentorship as medicine, and why hip-hop has always been therapy. The crew dives into the power of women in leadership, the emotional labor of motherhood, and what it means to hold space in 2025 as a healer, a parent, and a professional — without losing yourself in the grind. They also get real about:
    • Reclaiming the spirit of social work from the systems that tried to sanitize it
    • Setting boundaries with family (without the guilt trip)
    • Breaking generational cycles while honoring the wisdom that came before us
    • Imposter syndrome, black excellence, and healing through rhythm, movement, and connection
    From hood to healing, from clinical to cultural, this one’s for the community workers, the therapists, the cycle-breakers, and the future social workers who grew up navigating survival and are now creating spaces of resilience. Tap in and tell your homegirl, your cousin, your mentor, and your therapist. This one hits.
