UnEarthed Advocacy and Activism
On being a true holistic healing practitioner: Our mental health cannot be simplified to a single narrative. We are far more complex and dynamic than we realize. We can access deeper holistic healing by exploring the biological, relational, personal, spiritual, and societal factors that co-create our emotional and mental well-being.
Sacred activism acknowledges that our individual journeys are interconnected with all of humanity, and our actions can inspire change beyond our immediate surroundings. By practicing sacred activism, we embrace the unity of all beings. Our activism, advocacy, and awareness aim to alleviate the suffering of others while fostering our own sense of meaning and wellness, embodying holistic therapy. In a society that often emphasizes individualism, embracing sacred activism requires a mindset shift and a commitment to understanding that you are a vital part of the broader natural world.
UnEarthed’s freshest offering! Have you felt a little (or a lottle) desire to create change in your world? If you're experiencing emotions like anger, anxiety, or defeat, consider transforming that energy into advocacy and activism. UnEarthed invites you to join a community of passionate individuals working towards a more equitable world where all beings — people, animals, and our precious planet — are respected, safe, and healthy. Together, we can take meaningful steps toward healing our world. If this resonates with you or if you’re curious to learn more, reach out via email—we'd love to hear from you!
We are all interconnected in this journey of life. Our actions ripple out far beyond ourselves, shaping the world we inhabit. The world we inhabit also shapes our minds and our bodies. This is the essence of Eco-Psychology. Eco-psychology teaches us to understand ourselves and the world around us better, to recognize that nature is not something separate from us, but that we, too, are part of "nature." By shifting our relationship with our environment, and using the natural world as an ally rather than something to conquer, we also shift the relationship with our innermost selves.

When one tugs on a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world
— John Muir
My journey as an advocate truly began the moment I entered this world. As I grew up, I was often labeled the "overly emotional" and "shy” kid in my family. It wasn't until later that I discovered there’s a term for people like me: a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)—an Empath. If you're reading this, there’s a good chance you resonate with this too! This deep connection to everything and everyone can feel like a wild ride, and embracing the HSP "superpower"—which at times seems more like a burden—is a journey all its own.
Being an HSP has fueled my passion for advocating for the overlooked. I strive to be a voice for those who can’t speak up, challenge the cultural norms we often overlook, and shine a light on the issues we tend to ignore. By connecting through compassion, curiosity, and a touch of intuition, I hope to inspire a shift in how we understand and relate to each other and the world around us.
I genuinely love hearing about the incredible work that world-changers and trailblazers are doing and would truly appreciate any ideas on how UnEarthed can better support wellness within our community. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and connect!
All the best,
Laura
