  1. RETURNING TO RIGHT RELATIONSHIP: ANIMALS, CEREMONY, AND THE WISDOM OF OUR REMEMBERING WITH ABIGAIL HINDS

    RETURNING TO RIGHT RELATIONSHIP: ANIMALS, CEREMONY, AND THE WISDOM OF OUR REMEMBERING WITH ABIGAIL HINDS

    There is a way of being that remembers. A way of living that is not separate from the Earth, the animals, or the unseen layers of life—but deeply in relationship with them. A way that honors death as part of life, listens to what is subtle, and trusts that there is intelligence moving through everything… if we slow down enough to feel it. In this episode of Current Wave, I’m joined by Abigail Hines — healing practitioner, medicine weaver, and vocalist — for a conversation on animal communication, death and reciprocity, ancestral practices, and the deeper ways we can return to right relationship with the natural world. We speak about what it means to process animals in ceremony, not as something transactional, but as something sacred. Abigail shares the story behind her “Squirrel to Soup” practice, and how working with animals in both life and death became an initiation into deeper presence, reverence, and connection. We also explore the ways animals communicate with us—through intuition, sensation, and subtle knowing—and how reconnecting to these channels can awaken parts of ourselves that have been dormant. This conversation moves between the grounded and the mystical. From food, land, and nourishment… to whales, sound, and the unseen realms of communication that exist beyond language. At its core, this episode is about remembering that we are not separate. We are part of a living, breathing, communicating world. And there is a different way to be in relationship with it. In this episode, we explore: * Returning to right relationship — animals, land, death, and reciprocity * “Squirrel to Soup” — processing animals as ceremony, not consumption * The disconnection of modern life — and the longing to return to something more real * Whale medicine and sound — voice, intuition, and spiritual communication * Animal communication — intuition, subtle perception, and listening beyond language * Death as initiation — reclaiming reverence for life through honoring death * The unseen world — spirit, sensation, and the intelligence of nature * Remembering our place — as humans within (not above) the natural world This episode is for you if you’ve been feeling the pull to reconnect—with nature, with your intuition, or with something ancient within yourself. If you’ve been questioning the disconnection of modern life and craving a deeper, more honest relationship with the world around you. It’s also for anyone curious about animal communication, ancestral practices, embodiment, and the quieter ways of knowing that live beneath the surface. 🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more conversations on spirituality, embodiment, creativity, and returning to what is real.

  2. RETURNING TO WHAT IS REAL: MAKING YOUR OWN RULES AND LIVING A SLOWER, TRUER LIFE WITH ANA HITO

    RETURNING TO WHAT IS REAL: MAKING YOUR OWN RULES AND LIVING A SLOWER, TRUER LIFE WITH ANA HITO

    There is a version of life that asks less of us in performance and more of us in presence. A version rooted in slowness, creativity, self-trust, real luxury, and the courage to make our own rules instead of inheriting the ones we were handed. In this episode of Current Wave, I’m joined by Ana Hito for a conversation on luxury, creativity, motherhood, technology, off-grid living, and what it means to return to what is actually real. We explore the deeper meaning of luxury—not just as material beauty, but as intimacy with process, place, seasonality, labor, and life itself. Ana shares about living on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), raising children in a much slower and more connected environment, and the profound shift that happens when you step outside of the speed, noise, and artificial urgency of modern life. We talk about the challenge of creativity in the digital age, the pressure of social media, and how much easier it is to lose your own inner voice when the outside world is constantly telling you what matters. This conversation is really about remembering. Remembering what it means to be human. Remembering what creativity felt like before it was commodified. Remembering that success, beauty, luxury, and fulfillment are not fixed definitions—and that part of growing up is learning how to define those things for yourself. We also speak about childhood, Waldorf education, community, the value of boredom and curiosity, and how simplicity can become one of the most profound luxuries of all. In this episode, we cover: * The deeper meaning of luxury — process, presence, seasonality, and real life * Life on Rapa Nui — community, family, off-grid living, and a different pace of reality * Motherhood + raising children more slowly — creativity, freedom, and less technological interference * Social media and the distortion of success — clout, comparison, and the pressure to perform a life * Returning to what is real — food, water, land, rhythm, and embodied daily living * Creativity as a necessity — not a luxury, not an extra, but part of being alive * Making your own rules — releasing inherited ideas of success, work, and how life “should” look * Curiosity, play, and the child self — reconnecting with the part of you that knows how to create * Living more truthfully — even when your life looks different from what the world rewards This episode is for you if you’ve been craving a slower, truer life… if you’re questioning the rules you’ve inherited… if you want to reconnect with your creativity, your own values, and what actually matters to you. It’s for anyone navigating motherhood, self-discovery, digital overwhelm, or the desire to build a life that feels more human and less performative. 🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more conversations on spirituality, embodiment, creativity, and building a life that feels like your own.

  3. THE PATH TO INNER AUTHORITY: WHEN THE SYSTEM BECOMES THE CAGE WITH CHIARA CHRISTIAN

    FEB 24

    THE PATH TO INNER AUTHORITY: WHEN THE SYSTEM BECOMES THE CAGE WITH CHIARA CHRISTIAN

    In this episode, we explore Human Design, manifestation, and the danger of outsourcing your inner authority—plus how to come back to self-trust, embodiment, and real agency. In this episode of Current Wave, Ayla Wayman sits down with writer and Human Design guide Chiara Christian (Mystical Heretic) for an honest, grounded conversation about Human Design, self-trust, manifestation, and what happens when spiritual systems are taken too literally. Chiara shares her personal journey of discovering Human Design in her early twenties, going deep into the source material, and eventually realizing that rigid interpretation and perfectionism were disconnecting her from her intuition, body, and life force. Together, Ayla and Chiara explore how tools meant for self-awareness can quietly become cages—and how to reclaim agency without throwing away wisdom. This conversation gently demystifies Human Design for beginners while offering a critical, embodied perspective for those who’ve gone too far into the weeds. We discuss energy types, authority, and profiles in a simple, accessible way, while also examining the psychological impact of waiting, over-identifying with labels, and giving decision-making power away to external systems. The episode also weaves in a grounded re-examination of manifestation, how beliefs shape reality, and why the mind isn’t the enemy—but a powerful creative force when integrated consciously. We close with a wider reflection on the 2027 collective shift, decentralization, individuality, and why small, local communities may matter more than ever. In this episode, we cover: * Human Design explained simply: energy types, authority, profiles, and conscious vs. unconscious design * When self-discovery systems become limiting: perfectionism, rigidity, and loss of agency * The danger of taking strategy and authority too literally * Projectors, generators, manifestors & reflectors—and how energy actually works in daily life * Embodiment vs. over-analysis: returning to lived experience * Manifestation reimagined: thoughts, beliefs, emotion, action, and reality * Reclaiming self-trust and inner authority after spiritual disillusionment * The 2027 shift: decentralization, individuality, community, and the breakdown of old structures * Why growth doesn’t require rules—and why no system knows you better than you do This episode is for anyone interested in Human Design, spiritual self-growth, manifestation, personal development, or navigating the tension between structure and intuition. Whether you’re new to Human Design or recovering from spiritual rigidity, this conversation offers clarity, permission, and grounding. 🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more conversations on spirituality, embodiment, self-trust, and navigating change with integrity. 🔗 CONNECT With our guest — Chiara Christian Instagram: @mysticalheretic Substack: mysticalheretic.substack.com Website: https://mystical-heretic.com With our host — Ayla Wayman on IG: @inner__tide Follow Current Wave on IG: @current__wave Dive into INNER TIDE — https://innertide.myflodesk.com/currentwave Get full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA — innertide.substack.com/subscribe Keywords human design explained, human design podcast, spiritual self growth, manifestation mindset, self trust and intuition, embodiment practices, spiritual awakening podcast, human design projector, human design generator, manifesting generator energy, human design authority, strategy and authority human design, spiritual perfectionism, healing self trust, nervous system and manifestation, subconscious beliefs and reality, conscious manifestation, spirituality and psychology, personal development podcast, inner authority, intuition vs conditioning, decentralization and community, 2027 collective shift, age of aquarius transition, spiritual deconditioning, mystical heretic, chiara christian, ayla wayman, current wave podcast, inner tide Get full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA at innertide.substack.com/subscribe

  4. WALKING THE BEAUTY WAY WITH SHIVA ROSE

    WALKING THE BEAUTY WAY WITH SHIVA ROSE

    There’s a way of living that doesn’t rush past the sacred. A way of moving through your day that feels like a prayer — even in the laundry, even in the hard seasons, even when the world is loud. In this episode of Current Wave, I’m joined by Shiva Rose — creatrix, writer, founder of Shiva Rose Beauty, and a true protectress of the Earth and her children (plant, human, and otherwise). This conversation is an invitation back into beauty as medicine — not the aesthetic performance of beauty, but the frequency of it: the kind that regulates the nervous system, restores aliveness, and brings us back into devotion. We talk about what it means to walk the beauty way in a time of homogenization, groupthink, and digital overstimulation — and how to stay rooted in your own truth without “interlocking” energy online. We explore Aquarius season + Leo full moon teachings around boundaries and bravery, and the importance of discernment with your attention, your voice, and your life force. Then we move into the deeper layers: beauty as protection, beauty as creativity, beauty as immune support, and the quiet revolution of returning to the body — through nature, self-massage, ritual, scent, flowers, nourishment, and presence. This episode is for you if you’ve been craving: * a softer nervous system without shrinking your power * deeper boundaries without losing your tenderness * devotion in the mundane * beauty as a stabilizing force in chaotic times * a return to the real world — the one with sky, people, texture, and breath ✨ Special listener code: Use code WAVE at checkout. In this episode, we cover * Aquarius season + the courage to stay uniquely you * Leo full moon polarity: boundaries + being in your light * The “homogenization” of culture, faces, and thought — and how to resist it * Not interlocking energy online (and why it drains your life force) * Beauty as medicine: nervous system, creativity, vitality, immune support * Devotion in the mundane: folding laundry with prayer, making meals with magic * The origin story of Shiva Rose Beauty (Kundalini downloads + non-toxic skincare) * The myth of “effortless” creation: discipline, devotion, and real building * Returning to simplicity: nature, mineral-rich tonics, ritual, self-massage (Abhyanga) * Mentorship + community: remembering how humans are meant to learn Shop Shiva Rose Beauty CONNECT: With our guest — Shiva Rose on IG: @localrose Shiva’s website: https://www.shivarose.com/ Use code “WAVE” for 20% off Shiva’s products With our host — Ayla Wayman on IG: @inner__tide Dive into INNER TIDE — OFFERINGS Get full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA — innertide.substack.com/subscribe Keywords Shiva Rose, Shiva Rose Beauty, walking the beauty way, beauty as medicine, Venusian living, clean beauty, non-toxic skincare, natural skincare rituals, Aquarius season, Leo full moon, nervous system regulation, devotion practice, abhyanga self massage, kundalini meditation, Guru Jagat teachings, boundaries on social media, digital detox, embodiment, sacred beauty, ritual living, creativity and healing, holistic wellness, slow living, women’s wellness Get full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA at innertide.substack.com/subscribe

  5. ZERO POINT OF THE COSMIC CLOCK: ASTROLOGY OF THE GREAT REMEMBERING WITH GEORGE H LEWIS

    FEB 10

    ZERO POINT OF THE COSMIC CLOCK: ASTROLOGY OF THE GREAT REMEMBERING WITH GEORGE H LEWIS

    In this episode of Current Wave, I’m joined by George H. Lewis—artist, author, astrologer, and one of the most fascinating voices I’ve found in this moment of collective turning. We go straight into what George calls the “zero point of the cosmic clock”—this threshold we’re standing in as the Age of Pisces dissolves and the Age of Aquarius accelerates. If you’ve been feeling the Great Remembering—that sense that something ancient is waking up inside you, and the old world is losing its grip—this conversation is for you. Together, we explore the role of Saturn in shaping human history and consciousness, why shadow work is non-negotiable in this era, and how synchronicity becomes a living language when you’re aligned with your path. We also talk about the shift from external authority to inner authority—and what it means to reclaim your creative power, not as a concept, but as a lived reality. This episode is an invitation to widen the lens: to hold both the personal and the collective, to stay brave enough for truth, and to remember that your gifts are not random—they’re part of the design. In this episode, we explore: * The Age of Aquarius and why the “cosmic clock” feels louder right now * Saturn as structure, control, initiation, and the long arc of collective history * Why we can’t move forward without reckoning with the past * The necessity of shadow work for both personal healing and collective evolution * How to support people who are newly awakening (with steadiness, not overwhelm) * Synchronicity as guidance: the signs, the numbers, the “impossible” timing * Creative potential as a spiritual technology—and how to live your gifts * Why community is essential in these times (and how it becomes medicine) If you’ve been sensing a threshold—like something is ending, and something vast is beginning—let this be a mirror. Let this be a signal. Let this be a reminder: you’re not here by accident. ✨Connect with George H.

  6. BURNING THE TOWER OF THE ILLUSION:

    FEB 3

    BURNING THE TOWER OF THE ILLUSION:

    BURNING THE TOWER OF THE ILLUSION: ENERGETICS OF 2026 Ayla opens Season 2 with an energetic transmission for 2026—why the “old world” is cracking, why your old patterns may be screaming, and how to stay anchored in truth as everything accelerates. This episode weaves astrology, nervous system wisdom, intuition, and sovereignty into a grounded invitation to step into your power and create the future through real action. In this solo Season 2 opener of Current Wave, I’m sharing what I’m feeling in the collective field as we step into 2026—this potent, overripe moment where it feels like everything is about to shift. We’re talking about the energetics that are moving in, the way the old paradigm is cracking, and why so many of us are experiencing a loud resurgence of old patterns, scarcity loops, anxiety, and “old identity” stories that feel like they’re trying to pull us back under. I walk through the astrology I’m tracking (as a student—speaking from lived experience and felt sense), including the amplified Aquarius signatures and the wider transition out of Pisces and into Aries energy: the move from dream-state, fog, numbing, and escapism into agency, action, sovereignty, and initiation. This is a call to come back to the self within the collective—staying rooted in discernment while choosing real participation, local impact, and integrity in how we live. We also go into the breakdown of materialist reality, the return to frequency and subtle truth, the collapse of illusion (Tower energy), and the ways our intuition and sensitivity are coming online—sometimes beautifully, sometimes uncomfortably—because the margin for misalignment is getting smaller. This is an episode about becoming congruent: mind, body, spirit, choices, relationships, and the work you’re here to do. In this episode, we cover: 💫 The energetics of 2026: why this moment feels like a collective precipice 🌬️ Aquarius amplification: community, networks, revolution, innovation, and the call to serve the whole 🦁 Leo full moon polarity: selfhood, discernment, and not getting swallowed by group mind 🌊 Pisces endings: illusion, escapism, addiction, blurred boundaries, and “the dream” dissolving 🔥 Aries initiation: agency, action, identity, sovereignty, and creating through choice 🧠 Old identity surfacing: scarcity loops, anxious patterns, and loving the parts that want to keep you small 🗼 Tower energy: the necessary collapse of false structures—personal and collective 🌈 Abundance as antidote: nervous system shifts, mindset frequency, and widening the channel to receive ✨ Frequency & truth: the break from “proof by sight,” the quantum turn, and intuition as guidance 🌱 Village + local impact: community building, regeneration, nature-based systems, and embodied participation 🔮 Psychic sensitivity: trusting nudges, pings, and inner knowing as abilities come online This episode is for you if you’re drawn to spiritual awakening, astrology-informed living, nervous system regulation, intuition development, embodiment, and conscious leadership—and if you’re building a life (and business) that’s aligned, resilient, and rooted in real integrity. If you’ve been feeling the volume turn up lately—internally or externally—consider this a hand on your back: a reminder that the illusion is falling, and your power is real. 🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more on spirituality, embodiment, sovereignty, and navigating these times with clarity.

  7. THE PATTERNS OF CREATION:

    09/23/2025

    THE PATTERNS OF CREATION:

    Manifestation isn’t magic—it’s a system. 🌿✨ In this episode, Ayla breaks down the patterns, resistance, and identity shifts that actually create transformation in life and business. In this episode, we explore manifestation as a step-by-step process of creation, pattern recognition as a tool for transformation, and how the subconscious mind, identity, and action all come together to shape our lives and businesses. Along the way, we look at the necessity of both feminine vision and masculine structure, the inevitability of resistance, and the deeper call of the soul’s path as we navigate growth, business, and self-evolution. Speaking from her own experience of up-levels, blocks, breakthroughs, and years of practice with Kundalini Yoga and coaching, Ayla breaks down what actually happens in the manifestation process and why action, consistency, and resilience are essential to building both a business and a life aligned with who we truly are. In this episode, we cover: 🌿 Manifestation as a system: desire, resistance, subconscious reprogramming, and action 🌀 Pattern recognition: how identifying loops helps us grow instead of staying stuck 🧘‍♀️ Kundalini Yoga & hypnosis as tools for shifting energy and rewiring beliefs 💫 Identity shifts: embodying the future version of yourself to create results faster 📈 Entrepreneurship as spiritual practice: persistence, resilience, and refining vision 🌊 Feminine & masculine balance: creativity, intuition, and the structures that support them 🔥 10x identity & business growth: moving from a place 10 steps ahead to accelerate change 🌟 The soul’s path: embracing challenges, transmuting karma, and trusting what’s correct This episode is for you if you’re drawn to spiritual entrepreneurship, personal growth, manifestation, and building a business with integrity.

    INTUITIVE BUSINESS & FEMININE FLOW WITH JACLYN HODES

    In this episode, we explore entrepreneurship as a spiritual path, the power of kundalini yoga to align us with ideas and visions, and how our earliest interests and tendencies can shape the body of work we create later in life. All the while navigating feminine business, the need for internal masculine structures, and how to listen to the pulse beneath it all as we shepherd visions, businesses, and ideas into form. On this episode of Current Wave I’m joined by visionary designer and guide Jaclyn Hodes (Awaveawake • Dreaming Life Awake). We trace her evolution from studying fashion, to New York styling, launching one of the first plant-dyed, sustainably made silk lines, and moving into midlife and her next venture - Dreaming Life Awake - A body of work informed by her studies in Jungian dream and archetype work, color medicine and her years studying Kundalini Yoga & Ayurveda, and own path with birthing and creating a business from the seat of the soul. We talk about the real arc of creation: following synchronicities, riding seasons of flow and stall, and balancing the feminine (vision, receptivity, intuition) with the inner masculine (structure, systems, responsibility). If you’re building something meaningful—and want to do it without burning out—this one’s for you. In this episode, we cover: 💫 Soul-led business: midwifing a vision vs. forcing outcomes 🧵 Sustainable fashion: plant dyes, silhouette, and storytelling as sacred craft 🧠 Jungian work: shadow, projection, and animus/inner masculine for grounded growth 🧘‍♀️ Kundalini Yoga as a catalyst for clarity, creative direction, and ethical alignment 🌈 Color medicine & embodiment: wearing frequency, tending the nervous system 📈 The necessity of structure that serves: crafting systems to support without losing your magic 🌊 Seasons of entrepreneurship: scaling back to move forward; listening for right timing 🔥 Founder realities: copying, comparison, and staying in your lane 🌱 From styling to founder to guide: evolving offers as your soul work matures This episode is for you if you’re drawn to spiritual entrepreneurship, creative business building, sustainable design, self-growth, and embodied leadership.
