Episode 24 Moved from the UK to an island off of Africa

Jackie Lee found herself losing faith after being diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) in 1992 when she was told she'd be in a wheelchair and prescribed painkillers to numb her experience. She battled guilt and poured her energy into her mindset shifts and now lives in Lanzarote, which is on a Spanish island off the coast of Africa with the life, and man, she dreamed up for herself. In addition to being a well known wedding celebrant on the island, she is the fairy godmother to women age 45+ helping them to reconnect with themselves, to feel supported and safe whilst creating their best life and having fun.

You can find her on Facebook and Instagram, and on her website.

** in this episode we discuss the ability to manifest what you desire and the life you are meant to live. Although this is true for many, this concept has not always been easily executed by those who exist in marginalized communities who are systemically oppressed or discriminated against based on race, religion, gender, ability, etc.

I recognize the white privilege filter used in many current spiritual and "achievement" based conversations, including my own in the past, and the problematic application of these ideas to “all” people when “all” people aren’t safe to walk outside their home, much less take bold and unapologetic action. When all people are treated with respect, this idea of manifesting and pursuing your dream with the steps we discuss, will be the magic for all that is has been for privileged white, and many but not all others, for hundreds of years in this country.**
