On the Cusp of Something Beautiful is a podcast dedicated towards building community and creating family around BIPOC creatives, aspiring creatives, and their allies, who are seeking to connect deeper with their artistic expression and authentic essence on a cosmic and spiritual level. Each week, Amickoleh Imani will be discussing a range of topics centered around art, creativity, mental health & wellness, and developing a deeper relationship with our intuitive gifts in order to live life with more balance, grace, and ease.
If you’re here, your higher self is acknowledging that your soul is ready to be freed from any self limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from truly expressing yourself at an authentic level. This podcast is simply a guide to help you find solace and liberation from within. To inspire you to be your own example and to give yourself permission to be your highest, most beautiful, and rarest self.
Other topics we’ll be exploring are past lives, spirit guides, ancestral healing, multidimensionality, energy alchemy, self healing, inner child work/shadow work, radical self-love, self-compassion, meditation, and using our intuitive guidance to bridge the gap between our creative work and personal development.
We invite you to take this journey home. Back to your authentic self.

S3E10: Semi-Season Finale - A Lesson on Why We Prolong Our Joy
In this semi-season finale episode, I discuss the lessons I’ve learned that have kept me fulfilling my societal programming and not my soul purpose. Due to our societal programming, we often make decisions that are predictable and ultimately keep us safe.
We negate ourselves from being able to connect with what brings our soul joy. If you’ve been looking for permission to prioritize what truly lights you up, and not feeling guilt or shame around pursuing your desires. Tune in now! We'll be back in early 2024 with new episodes.
Other topics mentioned:
Leaning into our strengths
Observing our weaknesses
Repairing through action
Honoring your pace
Self-Liberation
Allowing for flexibility

S3E6 - SOLO - [Soul Series] A Lesson on Trusting Your Soul’s Guidance, Pt. 1
In this week's episode, which kicks off a 3-part Soul Series around learning how to trust your unique guidance and intuition, I share the guidance I received during Lion's Gate Portal. I breakdown why it's important to follow your intuitive guidance, regardless of what you feel like you're "supposed" to be doing.
By doing this, I was able to engage and receive important information around situations I'm currently experiencing in my reality, which also led to a series of connection points that not only affirmed the guidance I received, but also added their own nuggets of wisdom to support me in the next steps of my Soul's path + journey.

Customer Reviews
Such an Inspiring Conversation
I recently listened to S3E5: Judith Rae on Persistence and the Power of Believing in Yourself. Such an inspiring conversation! My feedback to Judith Rae is below:
I listened to the podcast and really enjoyed it! What a story and incredible journey of perseverance, self-discovery, and resilience! You have such a unique and powerful story, and I felt like I learned a lot in listening to you reflect on your journey as a teen mom and how you navigated that and then still finished school, attended college, and found photography. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️

THE space for soul nourishing conversations
This is the space to be exposed to soul nourishing conversations around all things energy and healing. These convos are so intentional! I always look forward to new episodes!! These topics are powerful and magically somehow what I need to hear before I knew I needed to hear it! This podcast is MAGIC and so are Amickoleh and her incredible guests! 11/10 recommend.
Inclusive and Inviting!
If I had to describe the content in a few words, this podcast would be “spiritual, relatable, experiential”. Amickoleh hosts a wide range of guests with incredibly diverse life experiences, and knits them together with her unique and inquisitive style. She discusses a lot of spirituality without sounding “preachy”, diversity and equality without condemnation, and shares her own triumphs and struggles in a way that makes it easy to relate. A lot of episodes cover life and career transitions, and mental health and wellness topics, like reiki, yoga, and breath work. Definitely check this one out if you’re looking for a little inspiration!
