    Ep 39: Truth & Freedom: A Guided Meditation

    What does it mean to fully embody your truth? In this episode, I guide you through a powerful meditation to connect with your ancestors and explore the essence of truth. Inspired by a recent ancestral writing class, this practice invites you to listen deeply, feel into your lineage, and uncover the wisdom waiting for you.

    Ep 37: How I Stopped Fighting My Inner Critic & Started Thriving

    In this episode, Asha takes a walk while reflecting on a major personal breakthrough: learning to embrace her inner critic instead of fighting it. She shares insights from an 8-week coaching experience with confidence coach Sylvia Brands (Wrangle Your Inner Critic program) and dives into how radical self-acceptance has been a game-changer in her personal growth journey. If you've ever struggled with self-doubt, high expectations, or feeling like you're "too much" or "not enough," this episode is for you. Asha challenges the idea that our inner critic is something to silence and instead explores how listening to and nurturing that voice can lead to greater self-trust, confidence, and alignment. Key Topics Covered:🔹 Understanding the Inner Critic – Why we develop it and how it impacts our self-worth🔹 High Standards vs. Self-Criticism – The fine line between ambition and self-sabotage🔹 Radical Self-Acceptance – How embracing your sensitivity, fears, and wounds can empower you🔹 Shifting Mindsets – Moving from "fixing yourself" to truly loving and trusting yourself🔹 Business & Authenticity – Why Asha is stepping away from social media and choosing long-form content instead Notable Quotes:💬 "What if you didn’t treat those parts of yourself like a problem? What if you met them with the same compassion and love that you would have for a child?"💬 "My sensitivity is my superpower. It makes me a better friend, a better guide, and a better healer."💬 "You know who you are. The things you think are a problem probably aren't—they're areas where you need more love and acceptance."

    Ep 35: Your Intuition Isn't a Gift, It's Science!

    Have you ever thought of intuition as a mystical gift that only a select few possess? The truth is, intuition is not a special ability reserved for the chosen ones—it's a natural part of being human. In this episode, I break down the science behind intuition and energy perception, showing you how your body is wired to pick up on the energy around you. We’ll explore Albert Einstein’s famous equation,E=MC², and how it supports the idea that everything—including you—is made of energy. I’ll also share my personal journey with intuition—how I learned to trust my inner knowing and how you can do the same. This episode is for you if you've ever questioned whether your intuition is real or struggled with self-doubt. I’ll also introduce my12-week group program designed to help you reconnect with your intuition through ancestral healing. By the end of this episode, you'll understand:✔️ Why intuition isn’t a gift but an innate ability✔️ How energy fields influence your emotions, decisions, and interactions✔️ Ways to "turn up the dial" on your intuition so you can trust yourself more✔️ How science supports the existence of intuition and energy healing✔️ Practical steps to develop a deeper connection with your inner wisdom If you’re at a crossroads in life and looking for clarity, this is your invitation to tap into your natural intuition and move forward with confidence.

In this episode of Because I’ve Healed, I break down what intuition really is, how it shows up for you, and how you can start trusting it. There’s a powerful movement happening, especially among Black and Brown folks, to reconnect with our ancestral wisdom, to trust our inner guidance, and to move away from systems that have conditioned us to doubt ourselves. But how do you actually recognize your intuition? And how do you know if it’s real or just your mind playing tricks on you? In This Episode, We’ll Cover:✔️ What intuition actually is and how it works✔️ The six main Clair senses and how they show up in your life✔️ Why society teaches us to ignore our intuition—and how to reclaim it✔️ How to tell the difference between intuition, fear, and overthinking✔️ Practical steps to strengthen your intuitive gifts✔️ How intuition connects to ancestral healing Ready to Develop Your Intuition & Connect With Your Ancestors?I’m opening the doors to my 12-week group healing program in April, where we’ll:✨ Strengthen your intuition so you can receive clear messages✨ Learn to trust yourself and your spiritual guidance✨ Use breathwork, Reiki, and somatic healing to deepen your practice✨ Build a supportive community of like-minded seekers 🚀 Doors open in March!
