    16 - Healing Series: Community And Loneliness. The Village Has To Be Healthy To Raise A Child.

    Bonus episode. 🌺 This is one of those episodes you're going to want to grab your favourite beverage, your notebook and a pen and write down some of the questions I proposed for you to reflect on during and after. So many of us want community, but we've got to accept that it is a huge responsibility. In this bonus episode, we're talking about why it's important to heal when you're desiring or creating community. I talk about why we can want big families and the “it takes a village” approach towards raising the child, but is the village healthy? I share this from the perspective of my African upbringing, too, where the “it takes a village” originates from. We have it within us to create beautiful, thriving communities that require each of us to do our part in creating them.

    14 - Creative Process: Turning Your Creative & Spiritual Work Into A Business & Charging For Your Work

    We're on season two! ♥︎ This episode is all about turning your creative process & spiritual work into a business. 🌸 I talk about the journey of being a soulpreneur as I have focused on turning my creative and spiritual work into my business. 🌿 We often see the highlight reels of our favourite creators and spiritual coaches, and influencers, and we miss the BTS that goes on with embracing this journey. 🌸 In this episode, I talk about embracing making money from your work, allowing yourself to charge beyond the "market prices", and facing stories related to money. We go into the importance of taking your work seriously and accepting that your life will often have to change when you surrender to the journey that your soul is here for. 🌿 We can get so caught up in comparison often that it starts to affect how we feel about our paths, and when we are also embracing our awakening journeys, we can miss how we are showing up in incredible ways because we're seeing what someone else is doing. 🌸 All of this is what we get into with this episode, along with my nine months of nomadic living and allowing my brain to rest and adjust to spending some time in countries that were not English-speaking. Podcast episodes mentioned: It's Not Self-Sabotage, Parts Of You Don't Want It Spiritual / Creative Work As Giving And Learning To Receive.

    13 - Spiritual Work: Twin Flames & What If My Twin Flame Thinks I'm Crazy?

    🌸 REUPLOAD 🌸 Notes from when I first recorded this episode back in 2024: ♡ Yes, everyone is your twin flame, just as we are all each other's mirrors. At the same time, we are not synonyms and it's important to honour our differences. In this episode, we're talking about twin flames and how the key element of this journey is healing. I am big on having a grounded approach towards our spirituality, especially when it comes to the Twin Flame narrative. We talk about the importance of embracing your unique and individual path, regardless of being twin flames. Like / follow / rate and share this podcast with everyone you know.

    12 - Spiritual Work: Twin Flames & Divine Feminine, Own Your Worth

    🌸 REUPLOAD 🌸 Last of the reuploads before we start the next season. Thank you for sticking around for this season! I'm excited to return with new episodes recorded from where I am today since this one! In this fun episode and last episode for 2024, we are talking about twin flames as a healing path and an opportunity to close out karmic cycles. I get nice and honest and vulnerable about the beginnings of my journey meeting the person I believed to be my first twin and the "mysterious white woman" who haunted my past self as I have needed to de-patriarchy and decolonise my psyche.  The lesson for the divine feminine energy within the connection is owning our worth and remembering that twin flames are about our relationships with ourselves.  ★. ★ ★ ★. ★ ★ Like / follow / rate and share this podcast with everyone you know.

    11 - Spiritual Work: Witch Wound, Soul Callings And The Issue With Resting In Your Feminine

    🌸 RE-UPLOAD. 🌸 In this episode, we go into what has been underneath the procrastination and how it relates to the witch wound. We talk about downplaying our spiritual abilities by calling what we can do as spiritualists, "woo woo" and the labels of "crazy" for being awakening souls. Also, the experience of becoming the kind of person my past self was judging since my awakening. We also talk about curating your space to reflect what is most inspiring for you. We also talk about the aspects of the "Rest in your feminine" and "soft girl era" that are unhealthy, as they ultimately promote a weakened masculine within women and perpetuate patriarchy. This is mostly in the context of relationships. In this episode, I didn't cover how aspects of this can be healthy in terms of the environments you choose to enter into, however, especially when you break up with the struggle and allow yourself to embrace what is calm for your nervous system. This is something I will revisit for another episode. We talk about the importance of inner work and how ultimately, our relationships mirror what is in our subconscious. With references to the show on Netflix called, "Jiva!".

    10 - Creative Process: Reclaiming Our Artist Self In Adulthood

    🌸 Re-upload 🌸 We are all artists. For so many of us we can claim this in childhood when we can easily play and engage with our imaginations but we start to be separated from our artist / creative selves as we become adults and we start to feel the pressure to "grow up" and follow the adult script that makes the most sense. In the process, we lose who we are, and we start to forget and suppress our creativity. This then bleeds into how we feel about ourselves and life in general. We stifle our self-expression, and our lives start to be grey, no longer in the vibrancy that comes from owning all that we are. We can also lose touch with it through attachments that mean we're unable to embrace our artist selves. This episode is a conversation on my journey with being an artist and the different avenues and detours I have taken to get to this stage.

    09 - Spiritual Work: Love & Relationships After Healing And Awakening

    🌸RE-UPLOAD. 🌸 ✨ This is a fun, vulnerable episode on the topic of love and relationships. ✨ I talk about love and what happens after you close out chapters in your life related to relationship wounds. I talk about what my ideal relationship looks like and how romantic relationships serve as a place for us to grow and further expand our consciousness together. We go into the importance of conscious relationships and how they become the grounds for breaking generational cycles, which only happens when you are aware of what has been happening within our lineages.
