From Ashley Cullen-Williams, Founder of The Honey Method

​

Dear Beloved Community,

I see you. I see the exhaustion that lives in your bones, the weight that didn’t

start with you but was passed down through generations.

I see the ways we’ve learned to survive—holding everything together while the world

misreads our silence, our strength, our love.

We have inherited trauma, miscommunication, and misunderstanding. Too often, we’ve been expected to move on before we’ve had the space to heal. But survival isn’t the whole story. We deserve restoration, peace, and joy.

That’s why I created The Honey Method—a wellness practice for our collective healing. It’s rooted in three truths:

 

 Honor your story.

Every experience you carry matters. Your story is sacred, even the parts that ache.

When we name our truth, we reclaim our voice and rewrite the narrative our ancestors began.

 

 Own your feelings.

Healing starts with honesty. It’s okay to feel angry, tired, or uncertain. Feelings are messengers, not enemies.

When we own them, we stop hiding and start healing.

 

Nurture your soul to empower you.

Self-care is not indulgence—it’s resistance. It’s tending to your mind, body, and spirit so you can move through the world with clarity, softness, and strength.

​

The Honey Method is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself. It reminds us that healing is not linear—it’s layered, like honey, rich with time, patience, and intention.

As we continue to navigate the pain of injustice and the fatigue of everyday survival, I encourage you to practice self-care the Honey way. Rest when you can. Speak when you’re ready. Love yourself out loud. Your healing is your inheritance—and your birthright.

With love, sweetness, and solidarity,
