So many of the self care practices that are advertised to us cost money, and in a time when self care is so necessary and so many are either out of a job or working on less income than they’re used to, this can feel like a very destructive barrier to healing and grace. Enter Faith Broussard Cade, AKA @fleurdelisspeaks. After a traumatic brain injury, doctors told her she needed to rest in order to recover and in so doing, she lost her job. Her household income was cut in half, which was precisely when she started writing the notes of self love that so many of us have come to treasure during this uncertain time. Many years after her injury, her notes have helped spouses find courage to leave abusive partners, stopped someone from taking their own life and guided people through the darkest corners of their lives. In this latest episode of Look Ma’ No Hands, Faith talks about why she writes those notes and how they have continued to serve her and everyone who reads them.
