    Clarity Beyond Deception: How to Stop Living with the Stinger of a Wounded Memory

    In 2021 I came out of the spiritual closet… fully embodying my light and healing my inner child. But one of the biggest stingers I received while cracking myself open was my dad rejecting who I was becoming during this same time. This was the biggest heartbreak. As a child, all I wanted from my dad was to be loved and accepted. As I continued evolving my spirit, this became the biggest wound I still couldn’t let go of. I played scenarios in my head constantly, imagining that if he ever hurt me again I’d stand up for myself and let him hear me roar. In this episode I share how, even after taking out the stinger from this memory, my mind and body were still operating in pain. It wasn’t until one day I made the conscious effort to step out of my grief and defensiveness and truly see that I am safe. I am protected. I love myself and my life. There is no need to prove myself. Wasp spirit teaches us that when we get stung, this is life’s way of cracking us open (for the better). But when the stinger has been long gone and we are still responding as if it’s still there, we can spiral in our own grief and get used to pain. It becomes our narrative. It is then up to us to choose when enough is enough. To see ourselves as a beautiful vessel who is greater than the pain. Lastly, I share that once I realized the old narrative I kept playing, I turned my outdated pain into art (and a podcast episode) by creating a DJ Mix called Clarity Beyond Deception. I want you to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and your mind and body will have the opportunity to evolve from it once you let the old narrative go. 💫 If this episode hits home, don’t forget to like & subscribe ✨ P.S. ~ Share this episode with a loved one who has been living with a stinger that is long gone 🌿 Essence episodes drop every Thursday!

    Sacred Circle Gatherings: The Power of Spiritual Support | with Co-Founder Riss & Antionette

    If you’ve been craving a spiritual community that honors spirit the way you do… keep tuning into this episode. It isn’t always easy to find your tribe *ESPECIALLY* when, as a spiritual being, you honor the rhythms of your own mind, body, and soul. Meditation. Breathwork. Gentle movement. Letting your higher self guide you. There’s something beautiful about being around people who think and feel the way you do. When you’re in a space like that, the soul shines. We understand that deeply. As co-founders, and as a mother-daughter duo, my mom Antoinette and I get it. We come from a background rooted in religion, structure, and the hustle of everyday life. We honor where we came from. Those roots shaped us. But as we evolved, we realized how essential it is to have a container where you feel safe being fully yourself. Sacred Circle Gatherings was created from that knowing. Inside the circle, we honor spirit. We nurture alignment between mind, body, and soul. And most importantly, we create a space where you feel supported, seen, and grounded alongside other like-minded souls. Because regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey, we all need a place to recharge… and remember that we are whole. ────────── Join our email list to stay connected and receive updates on upcoming Sacred Circle Gatherings 💌 https://mailchi.mp/9dfe5170a622/join-the-circle Follow us on Instagram @SacredCircleGatherings for inspiration, updates, and behind-the-scenes moments from the circle ✨ https://www.instagram.com/sacredcirclegathering/?hl=en ────────── 💫 If this episode resonates, like & subscribe to stay connected ✨ P.S.

    Beyond the Identity: Coming Back Home to Spirit

    Who are we without our identity? Who are we without the 9–5 grind? Who are we when we’re alone with nowhere to go and nothing to do? Who are we without our avatar body? Short answer: we are spirit. The long answer? We over-identify with the exterior world — chasing money, love, validation, and wins — but underneath all those layers of thoughts and perceptions, we are simply spirit having a human experience. In this week’s episode, I’m sharing firsthand experiences of getting lost in my own sauce… questioning my path, wondering if I should continue pursuing my dreams or focus on making more money. A tale as old as time, I know. Over-identifying with our thoughts and letting them run the show happens when we’re not in balance with our spirit. It’s too much human, not enough soul. Join me as I talk about loosening the grip of identity and coming back home to spirit. 💫 If this episode hits home, don’t forget to like & subscribe ✨ P.S. ~ Share this episode with a loved one who might need to be a little less hardcore human and a little more SOUL 🌿 Essence episodes drop every Monday!

    Stop Copy & Pasting: Learn to let your spirit guide you towards your manifestations

    In this podcast episode, I’m sharing what Spirit is calling out. We must stop copying and pasting our past into our future. We limit ourselves from living in our fullest potential because most of us were taught to believe we must force ourselves to show up at our absolute best. And when we think about what the “best” looks like, we often define it next to perfection — bushy-tailed, bright-eyed, chip-chip-cheerio energy. When in reality, you know very well that 4 out of the 7 days of the week there is some type of turbulence or challenge you’re facing. In this episode, I share how I realized how hard I was being on myself when I was forcing myself to show up as my “best” on a day that felt so exhausting. The inner critic self-talk started appearing and I was having a tug-of-war between what my expectations were and what my body could energetically offer. Ultimately, I share how limiting routine can be when it’s not paired well with consistency. Basically, routine is masculine energy and consistency is feminine energy. I share how, in my case, I had to surrender my routine that tired morning and invite consistency to show up instead. Comment below if you’ve been living in too much routine, falling short on your manifestations or goals, and you’re ready to invite more grace and consistency in. 💫 If this episode hits home, don’t forget to like & subscribe ✨ P.S. ~ Share this episode with a loved one who needs to be a little less hard on themselves and a little more chill 🌿 Essence episodes drop every Monday!

  5. My Bare Skin: Story as Medicine (with Ashli Camille)

    FEB 2

    My Bare Skin: Story as Medicine (with Ashli Camille)

    In this episode, I sit down with Ashli Camille, author of My Bare Skin, to talk about what it really means to heal through storytelling. Her memoir shares an honest journey through addiction, childhood abuse, domestic violence, a wild kidnapping, and the long road of choosing healing over silence. Ashli opens up about the process it took to write this book ~ the shadows that needed love and acceptance ~ and how the vulnerability of sharing the manuscript with her loved ones opened a portal into a healing journey she was finally ready to step into. Through sharing her story, Ashli found healing for wounds that once defined her. She speaks honestly about the triggers rooted in her childhood and her relationship with her mother, and how she intentionally initiated a journey of forgiveness, compassion, and rewriting old narratives with her. Ashli talks about the role of affirmations in rewiring the brain, and how shifting her language from “I am an addict” to “I am a writer” helped her expand her consciousness and begin creating an entirely new reality. This conversation is a reminder that we are all here to heal our inner child. That every death cycle invites us to grow from an old version of ourselves into a more enlightened soul. Toward the end of our conversation, Ashli shares the deepest reward that comes from being vulnerable enough to tell your story~ realizing that everything you’ve been through ultimately prepares you for the blessings still to come. Every ending is a rebirth, and life continues to rebuild itself stronger and more aligned than before. With My Bare Skin, Ashli is creating more than a book, she’s building community, a safe space, and an initiation for those navigating their own wounded stories. This episode is a reminder that you are not alone on the journey, and that sharing your truth can become the doorway to your own liberation. 💫 If this episode hits home, don’t forget to like, comment & subscribe ✨ And share this episode with a loved one who may need encouragement to open up and share their story 🌿 📖 Purchase My Bare Skin: A Memoir here: https://a.co/d/9T2uAGa 🌿 Connect with Ashli Camille: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/my_bare_herbs Website: https://www.mybareherbs.com/ ✨ Essence episodes drop every Monday! 🎧 Listen to the Essence Podcast: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7eci3LQJ4fltDPkb0IoITh Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/essence-podcast/id1768816926 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@essenceofriss 💛 Follow me for your daily dose of BEING IN YOUR ESSENCE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/essence.of.riss/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@essenceofriss ✨ If you’re feeling called to reconnect with your essence, you can find support here: https://www.essenceofriss.com/ ✨ Thanks for tuning in.

    How to Release Energy Without Abandoning Love: Cord Cutting Edition

    In this podcast episode, I’m wrapping up the Saturn Return tea I’ve been sharing over the previous two episodes. As a brief follow-up, I’m closing out my three-year Saturn Return in Pisces and witnessing the final tweaks Spirit + Saturn have been asking me to look at ~ specifically, the codependence crutch of security I’m ready to let go of with my boyfriend, Sergio. What I needed at the time was my boyfriend showing me another way of being true to myself. During my Saturn Return I was learning how to rebuild my own masculine (my inner authority) and I leaned on his. Physically. Financially. Energetically. That container helped me when I didn’t yet know how to fully support myself. And honestly, it worked… for a while. But after three years of my Saturn Return, I can feel that what once supported me, I’ve now outgrown. In this episode, I share the process I’ve been taking to release that crutch and transmute the energy without disrupting or crumbling a beautiful relationship. I talk about how I used cord cutting to release the underlying energies we had both subconsciously created within the relationship. We don’t need to hurt our relationships in order to break free from old patterns. Instead, we can choose to empower ourselves together, strengthening the dynamic by releasing what no longer serves and consciously writing a new contract with one another. 💫 If this episode hits home, don’t forget to like, comment & subscribe ✨ Share this episode with a loved one who needs a little push on releasing a crutch of their own🌿 Essence episodes drop every Monday!

    How to Let Go of the Codependence Crutch: Reflections

    If you’ve been feeling stuck between knowing your truth but not being able to fully live it, this conversation is for you. In this episode, I’m spilling the pages of my journal into a reflection ~ for you and for me. Before I come onto the podcast as your guide and bestie, it’s my real-life, raw experiences that alchemize into the material I share. And because I’m here to show you the beauty of being vulnerable in your Essence, I decided to open up about one of my biggest blocks, something that slowly turned into a crutch in my relationship: relying on my boyfriend to be my masculine, to be my supporter. We all carry both masculine and feminine energy within us, regardless of gender. And even though this is something I know as my truth, this is also how we can get stuck not fully living it. Without realizing it, we can create relationships with crutches ~ also known as codependence ~ and live like this for years, until we begin to come to terms with new truths about ourselves. The question I share in this episode reflect that cycle: How do we get out of habits or patterns created in our foundation? 💫 If this episode hits home, don’t forget to like, comment & subscribe ✨ Share this episode with a loved one who needs a little push on releasing a crutch on their own🌿 Essence episodes drop every Monday!

  8. Are You in Your Saturn Return? The Russian Doll of Becoming Your Ultimate Self

    JAN 12

    Are You in Your Saturn Return? The Russian Doll of Becoming Your Ultimate Self

    Saturn has a way of peeling us back layer by layer (like a Russian doll) until we’re face-to-face with who we truly are. In this episode, we explore Saturn as the planet of truth, time, and self-acceptance, and why once Saturn initiates change… there’s no going back. Saturn deserves to be seen not because it brings us challenges, but because those challenges help us find our greatest strengths. Self-acceptance is one of them. Once you can turn your “who am I?” into something more meaningful and in alignment with your heart center, we can actually be grateful for our Saturn Return, of course, AFTER all has been said and done. While Saturn is a major biggie for everyone and many of our close friends and family might be going through the same challenging lessons, we all handle it differently. For example, my boyfriend Sergio and I share the same Saturn Return in Pisces, with it also sitting in the same house. While his was marked by accelerated growth, mine radiated complete collapse and identity loss. Same same, but very different. Saturn’s rewards don’t come overnight, but when we do the work of healing, accepting, and turning our lived experiences into inner wisdom, we begin to reap what we’ve earned, which then makes life feel all worth living. We can say hell YESSS to self and buzz off to all the things we “thought” we were. 💫 If this episode hits home, don’t forget to like, comment & subscribe ✨ Share it with a friend who needs a little Saturn Return hug and reminder that all will be well 🌿 Essence episodes drop every Monday!
