Mensimah's Round Table: Conversations for Women of Power and Grace

How to Heal After Abandonment: Finding Strength and Grace, One Step at a Time!

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

What happens when someone you trusted walks away—and you’re left to rebuild your life in the middle of uncertainty?

In this episode, I share a deeply personal story of single motherhood, and the quiet, often unseen ways support began to appear when I needed it most. This isn’t a story about having everything figured out. It’s about moving forward one step at a time.

We talk about:

What it really means to heal after abandonment—not just emotionally, but practically, spiritually and about learning to trust yourself again.
Recognizing support, even when it doesn’t look the way you expected. And,
The role grace can play in helping you take the next step, and then the next.

Remember, life doesn’t always move in clear or comfortable ways. There are seasons that stretch us, that ask more of us than we feel ready to give. But even in those moments, something steady remains within you--something that continues, quietly, to carry you forward.

What matters is that you keep going—gently, honestly, at your own pace.

When Systems Break: Finding Power, Grace, and Community!

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

What happens when the systems that once supported you no longer fit?

In this episode, we explore the quiet but powerful tension that arises when old patterns, beliefs, and structures begin to break down. Rather than resisting this shift, you’re invited to see it as an opening—one that leads to deeper alignment, authentic connection, and inner resilience.

Through reflection, storytelling, and a grounding practice, this episode will help you move from simply surviving into thriving—with greater awareness, intention, and grace.

What you’ll learn:

How to recognize when a pattern or system is no longer aligned
The difference between fear-based thinking and inner truth
Why community is essential—and how to cultivate it before crisis
A simple practice to reconnect with your power and grace.

Remember: “We must personally and collectively release tensions of a system that can no longer sustain its contradictions.”

Reflection question:

What am I holding onto that no longer feels true?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Simple ways to calm your mind and body during stressful times

What it means to embody both power and grace.

A few things we explore:

The emotional weight many women carry during uncertain times

That same light is alive in you…

So honor it, carry it, and let it shine far beyond what you can see.

Inner Peacemaking: Healing Inner Battles for Collective Peace!

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Welcome to the Round Table, beautiful soul!

Have you ever noticed how quickly we can feel hurt, misunderstood, or reactive—and how those moments seem to take on a life of their own?

In this episode, we explore a deeper truth: what’s happening within us often shapes what we experience around us.

How inner wounds can influence our reactions and relationships
Why moments of conflict often point to something deeper
A relatable story of shifting from reaction to understanding
A gentle guided reflection to help you reconnect with yourself
Simple ways to choose peace in everyday moments.

A truth to carry with you:

When we soften toward ourselves, the world begins to soften, too.

Affirmation:

“I choose peace within, and I carry it into the world.”

Thank you for your courage to look within, and for embracing both your power and your grace. Together, we are making ripples of change.

How Inner Beliefs Shape Our View of Race, Identity, and Connection!

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Welcome back to the Round Table and Happy Friday!

If you haven’t already done so, please take a moment to subscribe.

In our last episode, we explored the concept of otherness—the ways people can feel separated or categorized because of race, gender, ability, sexual orientation, background, or identity. This week, we go deeper by exploring the inner barriers that often sit beneath these divisions.

Many of the ways we react to difference do not begin outside of us. They often come from quiet internal stories—beliefs shaped by upbringing, generational conditioning, cultural messages, and personal experiences. Sometimes these patterns create discomfort or hesitation when we encounter difference in others.

In This Episode You’ll Learn

Awareness of Inner Stories: Many of our perceptions about others are influenced by the beliefs we hold about ourselves.
Emotional Triggers as Teachers: Moments of discomfort around difference—whether related to race, gender, ability, or identity—can reveal areas where deeper understanding and healing are possible.
Compassion Creates Bridges: The more compassion we cultivate toward ourselves, the easier it becomes to extend understanding toward others.

Authentic Connection in Practice

When we become aware of these inner responses with honesty and compassion, we open the door to healing, growth, and authentic connection. Authentic connection begins with the relationship you have with yourself. When you trust your feelings, honor your values, and acknowledge your needs, you show up in the world with openness rather than defensiveness.

Closing Wisdom

Every act of self-awareness and compassion helps dismantle the invisible walls that divide us.

Please share.

Much love and gratitude,

Let’s See Each Other: Healing the Illusion of Otherness!

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0400

In this deeply reflective episode, we explore one of humanity’s greatest challenges — the experience of “otherness.” Through personal storytelling, spiritual insight, and gentle guidance, Dr. Mensimah Shabazz invites listeners to consider what shifts when we begin seeing ourselves and others through the compassionate eyes of the Divine Mother.

This conversation moves beyond theory into practice, offering a simple yet powerful path toward healing, unity, and inner peace.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

How the idea of “otherness” quietly shapes relationships and identity
Why separation is often learned — and belonging is our original truth
How spiritual perception transforms everyday interactions.

Key Takeaway:

When we release the illusion of separation, we begin to heal ourselves and the world simultaneously.

Reflection Questions:

Where do you feel like an outsider in your own life?
Where might you unintentionally create separation?
What shifts when you see through the eyes of compassion instead of judgment?

Listener Invitation:

If this episode touched your heart, share it with someone who may need this message today. Healing grows when wisdom is shared.

Manifesting Philanthropy—Becoming a Resource for Change!

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0400

In this heart-centered episode, you are invited to expand your understanding of philanthropy beyond wealth and into sacred intention. True giving begins within. When we awaken to our worth, we activate our ability to become a channel of abundance and transformation for others.

Through meditation, mantra, and storytelling, this episode explores how small acts of generosity ripple into powerful change—and how embodying the affirmation “I am a woman of power and grace” becomes the foundation for manifesting impact in our communities.

Key Takeaways

Philanthropy begins with intention, not income.
Small acts of generosity create expansive ripple effects.
Inner worth awakens outer opportunity.
Abundance flows most freely when we become willing channels.
You are already enough to begin.

Reflection Questions

What gift do I already possess that someone else needs?
Where can I offer time, wisdom, or encouragement this week?
What fears must I release to give and receive freely?

Declare daily:

“I am a woman of power and grace. I am a resource for change.”

Choose one act of intentional giving this week. Observe what unfolds and if this episode moved you, please share it with a woman ready to step into her sacred abundance, leave a review, or tag us with your act of generosity.

Together, guided by the Divine Feminine, we create waves of transformation.

Rooted in Strength: Managing Anxiety & Emotional Triggers with Confidence!

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Rooted in Strength: Cultivating Emotional Resilience for Women of Power and Grace!

Welcome back to The Round Table.

As we continue our February journey of renewal, this episode invites you into a deeper understanding of emotional resilience—the sacred ability to remain grounded, centered, and powerful even when life feels uncertain.

Resilience isn’t about pretending everything is fine. It’s about bending without breaking. It’s about honoring your feelings while choosing to rise anyway.

In today’s conversation, we explore how you can cultivate emotional steadiness in everyday life—through grounding practices, vulnerability, and simple daily rituals that strengthen the nervous system and the spirit.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

Practical grounding techniques to steady yourself during emotional storms
How vulnerability becomes a profound source of strength
Simple daily rituals to build lasting emotional resilience.

We begin by redefining emotional resilience—not as suppression, but as self-awareness and emotional honesty.

From workplace criticism to relationship misunderstandings to the quiet overwhelm of responsibility, life brings moments that test our steadiness. This episode offers tools to meet those moments with grace instead of self-judgment.

We also briefly touch on the current energetic landscape, as we move through a new astrological phase with Neptune and Saturn in Aries—an invitation to lead with both spiritual depth and courageous action.

What emotional storm have you already survived that proves your strength?

Take a moment today to honor the woman you’ve become because you chose not to give up.

Stay Connected

If this episode resonated with you:

Share it with a woman who needs encouragement, leave a review to support the podcast and/or Email your reflections or future topic requests

Next week, we’ll explore spiritual tools to support growth and transformation. Until then—stay rooted in strength.

February as a Season of Renewal: Ancestral Wisdom, Power, and Grace!

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0400

February carries a quiet but powerful invitation: to release what no longer serves, honor ancestral wisdom, and step gently into renewal. In this reflective conversation, we explore February as a sacred season of purification through the lens of the Akan tradition and universal spiritual cycles.

In this episode, you’ll learn three things.

How February serves as a sacred season of purification and renewal—both in the Akan tradition and across cultures.
How ancestral wisdom strengthens personal power, grounding us in confidence, grace, and purpose.
How gentle intention—rather than dramatic change—creates lasting transformation in our lives.

As February unfolds, may it inspire you to reconnect with your passion, nurture your dreams, and share your light with your community. Let us move forward together, rooted in gratitude and hope, knowing that every ending is simply a bridge to a more luminous beginning.

Move slowly. Listen deeply. Trust the quiet work happening beneath the surface.

And as you rise each day, declare:

“I am a woman of power and grace.”

Returning Home: The Power of One Mantra for Calm, Clarity & Inner Strength!

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0400

In today’s episode, we explore the quiet power of returning home to yourself—especially when life feels chaotic, loud, or uncertain. In a world full of spiritual techniques, answers, and distractions, true transformation often comes not from adding more, but from choosing one simple practice and returning to it again and again.

In this episode, we explore:

How choosing one consistent practice calms overwhelm and creates inner stability
Why a mantra works through repetition and presence—not perfection
How returning to one word or sound builds courage, clarity, and trust in your inner guidance
Examples of simple anchor words you can begin using today
A closing moment of reflection and blessing to carry into your week

This episode invites you into the wisdom of devotion over accumulation through the use of a single mantra or anchor word. Whether it’s a chant, a sacred word, a breath, or silence itself, this practice becomes a refuge—your inner home.

You’ll learn why a mantra works not because it’s “perfect” or tied to a tradition, but because it reconnects you with your own inner stillness and guidance. I also share my personal relationship with an ancient chant that points to the unchanging awareness within us all—and how you can discover your own anchor.

We close with a gentle blessing and short meditation to help you return to yourself in real time.

Call to Action:

Choose one word, sound, or phrase this week. Return to it when you feel scattered, uncertain, or overwhelmed—even for one breath.

Share, subscribe, and comment to let us know what mantra you’re practicing and how it’s supporting you.

Much love and gratitude,

Together We Rise: Intention, Ritual, and Community as Tools for Healing!

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode and at the heart of this conversation are three powerful gateways to healing: intention, ritual, and community. Intention brings consciousness and alignment to your inner world. Ritual grounds insight in the body, signaling safety to the nervous system. Community offers reflection and witnessing, reminding us that healing is relational—not solitary.

Three things you’ll learn:

How intention shifts healing from reaction to conscious alignment
Why ritual helps the nervous system integrate insight, not just understand it
How community and being witnessed support shadow integration and lasting change

Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about coming home to yourself, and so we explore healing as an integrative, compassionate process of becoming whole rather than something to “overcome.”

Rather than dramatic breakthroughs, true transformation often happens through simple, consistent practices that speak to both the conscious and unconscious mind. Like astrological cycles, healing unfolds in seasons. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is wasted. Every step matters.

This is an invitation to slow down, soften, and trust the rhythm of your own becoming.

Finding Joy After Trauma: When Healing Comes Quietly!

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Episode Description:

In this heartfelt episode of The Round Table, we gently explore how joy returns after trauma—not as loud celebration, but as quiet, sacred moments that meet us exactly where we are. Through deeply personal stories, spiritual reflections, and the wisdom gained from loss, healing, and a loyal dog named Rocky, this conversation reminds us that joy is not something we earn—it is something that walks beside us.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

Why joy often returns softly after trauma
How to recognize signs and “tiny miracles” in everyday life
The role of trust, faith, and the Divine in healing
How daily rituals and mindful presence invite joy
What animals can teach us about living fully in the moment
Why joy is a companion to healing—not a reward for suffering.

Key Takeaway:

We talk about recognizing signs from the universe, trusting the Divine, and cultivating daily rituals that open us to grace, even in seasons of pain. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from joy or unsure how to move forward after trauma, this episode offers gentle guidance, compassion, and hope.

Joy doesn’t require perfection or resolution. It requires presence. Even one quiet breath can be enough to begin again.

Listener Reflection:

What small moment brought you comfort today? A feather, a breath, a kind word—notice it. It matters.

This episode includes discussion of sexual violence and collective trauma. Please listen at your own pace and take pauses as needed.

Episode Description:

Welcome to The Round Table—a space intentionally created for safety, reflection, and real transformation. This is not a conversation meant to be rushed or consumed lightly. It is an invitation to slow down, listen beneath the surface, and allow what is true to be felt as much as it is understood.

In a World Without Limits: Women's Power & Transformation Beyond Fear and Self-Doubt!

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode we discuss what becomes possible when women release fear, self-doubt, and the belief that they must walk alone.

This deeply grounding and heart-centered episode invites you into a sacred circle of reflection, storytelling, and collective intention. Through personal insights and the powerful story of Abena—a woman whose vulnerability became the foundation of her strength—we explore how connection, community, and compassion awaken authentic power.

This episode is a gentle yet potent reminder that women rise higher together. Through breath, intention, and shared wisdom, you are invited to reconnect with your inner truth and imagine a future shaped not by limitation, but by courage and grace.

In This Episode, You’ll Experience:

A grounding opening meditation to center your body and spirit
Personal reflections on fear, voice, and claiming power
The inspiring story of Abena and how community transformed her journey
Insights on vulnerability as a source of resilience and leadership
A collective intention for the new year rooted in shared empowerment
A heart-centered affirmation practice you can return to daily
A call to action to uplift another woman—and yourself

Key Takeaway:

Your power is not meant to be carried alone. When women connect, support, and witness one another, individual healing becomes collective transformation.

Reflection Question:

In a world without limits, what would you create—and who might you rise with?

The Power of Our Words: Healing, Wholeness, and Higher Connection!

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this powerful and heart-centered episode, we gather as a global circle of women to explore the sacred power of words—how they can wound, how they can heal, and how they can become bridges to deeper connection and wholeness.

Many of us have experienced moments of dismissal, disrespect, or exclusion that made us question our belonging.

In this Episode, You'll hear:

A personal story of navigating disrespect and exclusion, and the ancestral strength that sustains resilience and grace
How hurtful words reflect the speaker’s inner world, not your worth
Why healing begins within, through self-love and compassionate awareness
How women can choose to be bridges instead of barriers, even in the face of misunderstanding.

Words as Mirrors

When someone uses words as weapons, they are revealing their own inner wounds. Judgment, cruelty, and dismissal are often projections of unresolved pain. When we recognize this, we free ourselves from carrying burdens that were never ours.

By tending gently to our inner world, we remember that no external voice has authority over our truth. Our words, grounded in integrity, have the power to soften hardened spaces and open doors once closed.

Call to Action:

Practice the Hakini Mudra and mantra daily
Share this episode with a sister who needs encouragement
Reflect on how words—yours and others’—have shaped your journey.

You are seen. You belong. Harsh words do not define your spirit. At this Round Table, we rise together—sister to sister—rooted in dignity, compassion, and truth.

Opening to New Traditions: Creating Light and Joy During the Holidays!

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Today, we’re focusing on how we can consciously make the holidays meaningful for ourselves, even if old traditions or people are no longer around. Together, we’ll explore how to release expectations, how to create soul-nourishing rituals, and how to experience connection in new and supportive ways.

Here’s what this episode will offer you:

You’ll learn how to let go of inherited or outdated holiday expectations that no longer fit who you are.
You’ll discover simple, uplifting rituals you can create for yourself—rituals that bring comfort, meaning, and joy.
You’ll explore how connection can be built beyond traditional family structures, including spiritual and soul-level support.

Reimagining the holidays isn’t about erasing the past or dismissing memories. It’s about choosing how you want to feel now. When you consciously create moments of intention, you send a powerful message to your heart and nervous system: "I am allowed to feel safe, celebrated, and whole."

Connection doesn’t always arrive in the form we expect. Sometimes it comes quietly—through shared energy, through moments of synchronicity, or through a sense of unseen support.

Know, too, that your spirit is always connected—to divine support, loving ancestors, guides, and unseen allies. Let this season be about receiving support in new ways, from unexpected places.

Thank you for being here and for honoring yourself in this moment.

Blessing

May your holidays—and your life—be filled with light, joy, and gentle new beginnings.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

Who Mami Wata is and why she is honored across Africa and the diaspora as a symbol of abundance, healing, sensuality, and deep transformation.
How to invite Mami Wata’s blessings through a simple at-home water ritual that opens space for renewal and flow.
How to connect with her guidance through a short, calming meditation designed to release old energy and welcome new intentions for the season.

Overflow—Giving from Fullness, Not Emptiness!

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Episode Summary

In this deeply nourishing episode at the Round Table, we explore what it truly means to give from overflow instead of depletion. Drawing from Akan wisdom, ancestral teachings, and cross-cultural spiritual traditions, this conversation invites you into a gentler, more powerful way of being—a way where generosity becomes an act of abundance, not sacrifice.

Through the story of Ama Serwaa, guided meditation, and reflective insights, you’ll learn how honoring your own joy, boundaries, and inner nourishment allows you to uplift others with authenticity, grace, and radiant strength.

What You’ll Learn

How to recognize the difference between giving from depletion and giving from fullness
Simple replenishing rituals inspired by Akan tradition and global spiritual wisdom
Why boundaries are sacred, and how they create more powerful, honest relationships
How to use words like Anigye, Anandamayi, Pushyangeli, and Ayekoo as daily anchors for joy and blessing.

Featured Story: Ama Serwaa and the Overflowing Pot

You’ll hear the story of Ama Serwaa, a wise woman whose daily practice teaches a universal truth:“If I tried to serve you from an empty pot, I would only offer dust.”

Her commitment to filling her own well before giving becomes a timeless reminder that true generosity must begin with self-nourishment.

Guided Reflection & Meditation

This episode includes a 5-minute grounding practice using cross-cultural affirmations:

“Anigye / Anandamayi” – invoking inner joy, bliss, and wholeness
“Pushyangeli / Ayekoo” – allowing blessing and nurturing to flow outward

Through breath, intention, and ancestral wisdom, you’ll reconnect with your inner wellspring.

Powerful Closing Thoughts

Nourishing yourself first is not selfish—it is sacred leadership.
Let your boundaries become acts of healing.
Let joy be your daily anchor.
When you fill yourself, your overflow becomes hope, healing, and empowerment for others.

Invitation

Unveiling Your Legacy: Stories of Self-Worth and Lasting Impact!

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Episode Theme: Redefining your legacy through self-worth, empowered choice, and rewriting inherited narratives.

In this heartfelt conversation at the Round Table, we explore how the stories we inherit—those passed down by family, culture, and societal expectations—shape how we see ourselves and what we believe we’re allowed to dream.

This episode is a gentle but powerful invitation to examine the stories that have held you back and to awaken to the truth that your legacy begins the moment you choose a new narrative.

Through reflection, wisdom, and a grounding meditation, you’ll learn how to step into your worth, break generational patterns, and create an impact that ripples far beyond you.

3 Things you'll Learn:

Recognizing inherited patterns: Learn how to identify stories and beliefs that were handed to you, not chosen by you—and how they’ve influenced your self-worth.
Self-worth as the foundation of legacy: Your legacy is not about accomplishment alone. It’s about how deeply you value your voice, your dreams, and your humanity.
How to begin writing a new story: Practical, doable steps to build a life grounded in self-love—one choice, boundary, or act of courage at a time.

Wisdom of the Week: You are not bound by the past. Every empowered choice becomes a thread in the legacy you are creating right now. When you hold your worth, you inspire others—your peers, your children, and even generations yet to come—to rise with you.

Closing Ritual:

Together, we practice Hakini Mudra, a gesture of unity and inner wisdom, repeating the mantra:

“I am a woman of power and grace.”

(Seven times, forming a field of resonance and intention.)

How to Tap Into Your Inner Power: Walking in Love, Trust, and Grace!

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Today’s episode is deeply personal. I want to share a story from one of the hardest, yet most transformative chapters of my life.

By the end of this episode, you’ll learn three key lessons:

- How challenges can become portals to higher healing and awareness.

- How divine help often arrives through unexpected people and moments.

- How to center yourself in grace when everything feels uncertain.

Many of us resist pain. We see it as punishment or misfortune. But what if pain is actually a sacred invitation? What if it’s the Divine’s way of opening a new door—a portal to our true purpose?

So if you’re going through a season of loss, ask yourself:

What new purpose might be trying to emerge through this pain?

When everything familiar falls away, we are given the chance to see what truly sustains us. My pain taught me that I wasn’t broken—I was being rebuilt into someone stronger, softer, and more aware of grace. The Divine Mother never abandons us. She sends helpers, whispers insights, and opens doors even when we can’t see them yet. Know that every challenge carries a hidden gift. Every ending holds a new beginning.

If this story has touched your heart, I invite you to share this episode or any other favorite episode with three friends who might be walking through their own dark night of the soul. Let’s remind them that they, too, are loved, guided, and supported by the same divine grace that carried me.

Confronting the Enemy Within to Build Your Strength & Confidence!

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0400

This episode focuses on a timeless African proverb, that carries the wisdom of centuries and meets your modern journey.

“If there is no enemy within, the enemy outside cannot harm you.”

This proverb reminds you that your most powerful ally—or your greatest threat—is often not the world outside, but the thoughts, doubts, and fears that live inside you.

You’ll discover three beautiful insights:

How your self-doubt and negative self-talk quietly sabotage your confidence.
How to build inner peace and emotional strength.
A short reflection to help you reconnect with your inner power and grace.

True inner peace does not mean the absence of struggle—it means meeting life’s uncertainties with grace, courage, and the quiet confidence, no matter what happens outside of you.

Choose today to be on your own side—to protect your peace and honor your strength. When you nurture peace within yourself, the outer world can no longer harm you.

Rejoicing A Soul’s Journey Through Heritage, Water and Fire!

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0400

About This Episode

This episode marks a moment of gratitude and rebirth for me as I celebrate my birthday and reflect on my journey as a woman, creator, and truth-seeker. I celebrate life, ancestry, and transformation through my original poem, “The Magnificat in My Own Image.” {Link Below}

It’s a heartfelt invitation for you to pause, remember your roots, and rejoice for what’s yet to come.

3 Things You’ll Learn:

The Power of Ancestry & Naming — how our roots and family stories shape our identity and purpose.
The Sacred Feminine Within Nature — discovering how the elements reflect our strength, sensitivity, and wisdom.
The Hope of What’s Yet to Come — embracing life’s journey with faith, openness, and gratitude.

Key Quotes from the Episode:

“When I speak my name, I speak all of us.”
“The Goddess is not separate from us — she lives within every breath, every rhythm of the earth.”
“My soul rejoices for what is yet to come.”

This deeply personal reflection honors the beauty of womanhood, the sacred connection to nature, and the hope that blooms in every new chapter. As I read the poem and reflect on its meaning, I invite you into a soulful journey of remembrance — one that celebrates heritage, the divine feminine, and the courage to keep becoming.

So, wherever you are on your journey — may your own soul rejoice for what is yet to come.

May you walk with your ancestors beside you, your purpose before you, and your power within you. And as always, remember this mantra:

✨ I am a woman of power and grace. ✨

Best wishes — to all rising in your own light.

Revealing the Truth Behind the Masks We Wear!

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this soul-stirring episode, we explore the powerful metaphor of the mask and the mirror. Many of us wear emotional masks to survive—shaped by family, trauma, culture, or expectations. But these masks, once protective, often become prisons.

It’s time to face the mirror—not to judge ourselves, but to remember who we truly are underneath the performance.

This episode is a gentle yet bold call to unmask, reclaim your truth, and step into the fullness of your power.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

Why We Wear Masks: The survival roles we adopt to feel safe and accepted.
The Cost of the Mask: How long-term masking disconnects us from joy, identity, and intimacy.
How to Begin Unmasking: Compassionate, courageous steps to rediscover your true self.

Let’s unmask together. You are safe. You are whole. You are home.

Rising Above Scripts and Finding Your True Voice!

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0400

This new episode explores something both ancient and timely — the pyramid. Not the one you learned about in history class, but the one we’re all living in every day—the invisible structure of society, identity, and expectations.

We’ll explore where you stand on this symbolic pyramid:

Are you stuck at the base, surrounded by noise and "shoulds"?

Or are you rising, shedding layers, and creating your own path to the top?

By the end of this episode, you’ll learn:

1. How to recognize the signs that you’re living by someone else’s script.

2. Why most people stay at the base of the pyramid — and how to rise above.

3. Three powerful practices to move toward your true self and rise with intention.

Picture a pyramid: wide at the bottom, narrow at the top. At the base is the crowd — following inherited beliefs, people-pleasing, hustling for worthiness. Most people live here their whole lives, surrounded by cultural scripts.

Here’s the truth: the base is crowded because it’s easy to blend in there. You don’t have to think too deeply. You just keep going, doing what’s expected. You may look successful on the outside, but feel hollow on the inside.

Climbing the pyramid begins the moment you pause and ask:

“Is this really me?”

See the pyramid as the metaphor for conscious living. The ascent is not about fame, money, or outward power — it’s about inner alignment. As you ascend, fewer people walk with you — not because you’re “better,” but because fewer people are willing to face the discomfort of peeling back their layers.

The view from the middle of the pyramid is clearer. The air is lighter. And the energy? Sacred. But most of all, it feels like you. Not a version of you trying to fit in — just the real, raw, radiant you.

So here’s your invitation this week: Pause. Reflect. Reclaim.

How to Find Power in the Small Things!

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In today’s episode, we explore what it really means to be balanced, seen, supported, and sovereign.

This conversation is rooted in a powerful African proverb:

“If you think you're too small to make a difference, try spending the night with a mosquito.”

3 THINGS YOU'LL LEARN TODAY

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with:

A clear understanding of how small actions create lasting ripple effects.
A renewed confidence that your presence and voice truly matter.
Practical ways to walk in power and grace every single day.

Includes: a reflective meditation and a closing mantra to ground you in your truth.

Know that your presence has power!

Gentle Reminder:

Know that you shift energy just by entering a room. Your presence is not neutral—it influences. It uplifts. It challenges. Whether or not you’re handed a microphone, you are still leading. Even when the world tells you you’re “too quiet” or “not doing enough,” remember this: the mosquito isn’t loud. It isn’t big. But you feel it. You respond to it. It changes the environment. So do you.

When you walk into your job, your home, your community—own your presence. It is your silent power. Not everyone will affirm it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not real. Believe it anyway.

Please remember, you do not have to be loud to be heard. You do not have to be big to be powerful. You simply have to show up—with heart, with intention, and with grace.

How to Listen to Your Inner Voice: Overcome Fear & Self-Doubt!

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Our guiding affirmation for today’s episode is this:

“I carry the truth within me, and it sets me free.”

You are not here to live by someone else’s script. Your truth may not make sense to others, and that’s okay. It’s yours.

Let’s get honest for a moment.

How often do you second-guess your decisions?

How often do you ask someone else for advice when, deep down, you already know what you need?

💫 In this episode, you will learn:

How your inner truth is the key to spiritual freedom.
The difference between external validation and inner knowing.
A simple yet powerful meditation to connect with your inner truth and feminine power.

We live in a world constantly telling us who to be, how to look, what to believe, and even how to define success. The noise is endless, and if we're not careful, it drowns out the most sacred voice we have — the one within.

The truth is, you already carry everything you need inside you. The divine wisdom. The deep knowing. The still, small voice that whispers: This is who I am. That truth is not something you have to chase. It's not something anyone else can give or validate for you. It’s already there — patiently waiting for you to return home to it.

When you begin to honor this truth — not in theory, but in practice — you step into real spiritual freedom. No more performing. No more pretending. No more living for the approval of others. Just the pure, radiant light of who you really are. And here’s the miracle: when you live in that space, life starts to flow. Doors open. Relationships deepen. Peace expands. Because you’re no longer resisting yourself.

This is where the shift happens. When you stop outsourcing your wisdom and start listening within, you activate your spiritual authority. That is the essence of feminine power — not dominance, not aggression — but sacred knowing. Grace-filled clarity.

Remember this: You are a woman of power and grace. Say it. Believe it. Embody it.

Because you are.

Reclaim Your Peace: Outsmart Information Overload & Regain Your Emotional Power!

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Today, we’re diving into a topic that affects us all—the overwhelming flood of information we encounter every day. It’s exciting to have access to so much knowledge, but it can also feel like a heavy weight on our shoulders.

Have you noticed how certain content seems to grab our attention, often triggering feelings of fear, anger, or even joy?

In this episode, you will learn:

- How crucial it is to evaluate the sources of information you engage with. Understanding what makes a source credible helps you avoid being misled by misinformation.

- How companies design content to evoke strong emotional responses. By learning to recognize these triggers, you can step back and assess how they affect you, allowing you to engage thoughtfully with media rather than reacting impulsively.

- How setting boundaries for your mental well-being allows you to create a healthier mental space that nurtures peace, clarity, and connection to your true self.

Imagine the difference it can make when you consciously choose what influences your thoughts and emotions. Each time you encounter a piece of information, take a moment to pause.

Ask yourself: How does this make me feel? Is this content uplifting or draining? By being present in these moments, you can cultivate a sense of emotional autonomy. It’s about reclaiming your power—recognizing that you are not just a passive consumer of information, but an active participant in shaping your reality.

How to Turn Negativity into Your Next Big Breakthrough!

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

So often, we hear about the importance of staying positive and avoiding negativity at all costs. But what if I told you that embracing negativity could be one of the most powerful tools for your personal evolution?

In this episode, we’ll explore how acknowledging the challenges and pains in our lives can lead to significant growth, self-awareness, and even compassion.

3 things you will learn:

The Role of Negativity in Growth: Life is not a straight path filled with constant positivity and success; it’s a complex journey that includes trials, failures, and setbacks.
Acceptance and Surrender: Acceptance and surrender are keys that help you to unlock the positive potential within negative situations.
Cultivating Compassion and Inner Power: When you embrace negativity in some form, you can also foster a deeper sense of empathy and connection with others.

As difficult and overwhelming as negative experiences can feel, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel or a rainbow approaching. Life’s challenges are not just obstacles, but gateways to incredible breakthroughs.

With every step you take forward, no matter how small, you’re inching closer to understanding your true self. So, take a moment to breathe deeply, gather your courage, and remember: when you embrace the negative, you fuel your transformation into a brighter, more empowered version of yourself.

Be a woman of power and grace.

How to Overcome Doubts and Discover Your True Self!

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

This episode explores the essence of self-discovery, guiding you to tap into your inner wisdom and strength. By listening today, you will learn three key things:

The importance of self-awareness
Techniques for introspection, and
Benefits of embracing your authentic self.

When you look deeper into your internal world, you will uncover layers of beliefs and self-judgment that may have been shaped by past experiences. Engaging in practices such as journaling, meditation, or creative expression can facilitate this internal dialogue.

The more you listen to yourself, the clearer your path becomes, guiding you toward a more meaningful existence.

Story of Inspiration — Audre Lorde: A renowned poet, feminist, and civil rights activist, serves as a powerful example of someone who embraced the practice of looking within for her well-being.

The Essence of Looking Within:

This inner journey allows you to create a solid foundation for personal growth, enabling you to define success on your own terms rather than those dictated by society. Embrace the quiet moments of reflection and courageously explore the depths of your being, for it is within that you will find your most profound answers.

Embrace This Weird Idea About Money for a Joyful Everyday Experience!

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we embark on a transformative journey into the profound and often misunderstood relationship we have with money.

Here are three incredible insights you will uncover:

You are Money: You are not in pursuit of something outside of yourself; you are the embodiment of abundance. Money flows through you like the very air you breathe. When you recognize that you are money, you begin to align with the flow of universal abundance.
Shift from Chasing to Being: So many of us have been conditioned to believe we must chase after money, to attract it, to manifest it. No! You don’t need to chase what you already are. By acknowledging that you are the source of wealth, you unlock a deeper connection to abundance.
Powerful Affirmations for Transformation: To help you align with this truth, you are encouraged to embrace the affirmations in the episode.

Remember, money is just energy. When you shift your mindset to embody this truth, everything changes. You are not waiting for the universe to respond to your desires; you are actively directing your energy like a river, guiding the flow of resources towards you.

I invite you to reflect on one last idea: You are a powerful creator. By embodying the energy of money, you become an attractive force, calling in opportunities and wealth as you direct your consciousness toward the truth of who you are.

Thank you for your presence. Until next time, keep shining your light and embracing your abundant self.

Soul Wisdom: How to Feel Empowered Every Day!

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In the this episode, our conversation focuses on the fact that you are a beautiful soul living in a body, having experiences in the physical world. Let's reflect on this question:

In what areas of your life can you begin to recognize and embrace your own expression as divine?

3 things you'll learn:

You’ll discover how recognizing yourself as a reflection of the divine can transform your self-perception.
We’ll explore how believing in your power can lead to significant changes in your life and the lives of others around you.
You’ll learn a simple yet transformative practice that can become a daily ritual, fostering your connection with the divine.

When you walk through life, you carry with you the energy, light, and wisdom of the universe. It’s a reminder that you are not separated from the divine; instead, you embody it in your thoughts, actions, and interactions. Each smile, kind word, or act of compassion is a reflection of this divine essence.

Remember to carry this message with you into your day:

Your laughter, your smile, the way you talk, walk, sing, is unique to you. There is no one else in the world like you. No one can emulate you or be you. Waking up to this reality infuses your existence with purpose, power, and grace. It should make you feel special! Each step you take with this belief can pave the way for transformation—not just for yourself, but for everyone you encounter.

Mirror Moments: Empower Yourself from the Inside Out!

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we discuss "The Me in the Mirror" and how to empower yourself from the inside out. The process of examining yourself is an act of courage.

As discussed in my article on Simply Woman, “Mirror, Mirror, Who Am I?” developing the inner world is essential for unlocking your true potential. In that piece, I shared how the mirror serves not only as a reflection but as a tool for growth, encouraging you to confront areas in your life that need attention.

3 Key things You’ll Learn Today:

Understanding Self-Perception: How you view yourself is often shaped by external influences — our experiences, relationships, and the media we consume. This perception can lead you to focus on your flaws rather than your strengths, often distorting your self-image. By recognizing this, you can embark on the journey toward greater self-acceptance.
Cultivating Inner Peace: In this chaotic world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected from your true self. This journey can begin with simple practices like mindfulness, gratitude, and self-care. These practices help bridge the gap between your inner and outer worlds, creating a sanctuary within that reflects your inherent worth.
Balancing the Four Aspects of Self: It is important to address the four aspects of ourselves: spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical. By nurturing each of these facets, you create a holistic view of who you are. Think of it as creating a balanced ecosystem within yourself!

Remember that the journey of empowerment is ongoing. Just as a good mirror reflects a changing image, you too can evolve and grow. Recognizing this evolution allows you to appreciate every chapter of your life, honoring both your struggles and victories with grace.

Trust Your Path: Good Things Take Time to Build!

Fri, 08 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in what we see around us. But what if I told you that there’s more to life than meets the eye?

In this episode, you’ll learn how to focus on what you wish to create while accepting what is in the present moment. It's about recognizing the visible reality, but not letting it control you.

Three Key Takeaways

Creating from Presence: We’ll explore how maintaining an awareness of the present while holding a vision for the future creates a fertile ground for our desires to manifest.
Understanding the Frequency of Need vs. Abundance: We’ll discuss the difference between vibrating from a place of need and a space of abundance.
Nurturing the Right Conditions for Growth: You'll learn how to protect your inner field and prevent overthinking, which can stifle your creative endeavors.

The sacred paradox: The more you let go, the more life gives you!

When you vibrate with need, even if you ask for something positive, you're sending out a frequency of lack. But when you let go and stay at peace, your vibration rises naturally and attracts what's in harmony with that new frequency.

Remember, creation needs room to breathe and flourish. I encourage you to honor this sacred paradox in your own life.

Thank you for joining me at the Round table. I hope this episode inspires you to cultivate peace and confidence as you navigate your journey.

Breathe, Believe, Bloom: Planting Seeds of Hope & Renewal!

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Are you experiencing burnout, isolation, health/economic challenges, self doubt, grief or fear of change?

In this episode, we dive into the beautiful and profound wisdom of the quote by Pablo Neruda: “You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot keep Spring from coming.” In this conversation, we’ll explore themes of hope, inevitability, and the resilience of life itself.

This quote speaks volumes about the cycles of existence, the unstoppable nature of renewal, and the hope that you can cultivate in your own life. As you journey through this episode, embrace the lessons that emerge from this wisdom and discover how you can apply it to enhance various aspects of your life—whether in your relationships, families, or personal growth.

Neruda’s quote inspires 3 key lessons:

Lesson One: Nature’s Resilience

The first lesson is about the resilience inherent in life. When we face setbacks in our personal or professional lives, it's vital to recognize that renewal is always within reach. Just as nature regenerates, our strength and resilience will emerge from adversity.

Lesson Two: is about The Power of Hope

The act of cutting flowers may seem final, but it emphasizes a beautiful truth: hope persists. By nurturing hope, you keep the door open for new possibilities.

Lesson Three: Embracing Change

Just as life evolves, you too must adapt and grow. You need the courage to accept that change, which can also mean moving on from relationships that no longer serve your growth. Understanding this inevitability can free you from feeling stuck, allowing you to embrace new beginnings.

If you found this message on hope and renewal helpful, please share, subscribe, or comment.

I hope you feel inspired to embrace the changes and possibilities that lie ahead. Until next time, nurture your hope, cultivate renewal, and know that growth is always on the horizon.

Healing After Heartbreak: Find Self-Love, Strength & Confidence Again!

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we’ll explore three key lessons that can guide you on the path of self-recognition and love.

The quote:

“Today, I come to express the One. I come to recognize myself in everything. I come to love what I already am to let my world be the mirror of the good that I am!”

Lesson One: The Depth of Self-Recognition

Recognizing ourselves in everything around us is a powerful practice. It deepens your empathy and connection to others. When you see yourself reflected in the world, you develop a more profound understanding of others' struggles and joys.

Lesson Two: Manifestation of Inner Goodness

If you genuinely love yourself, that love wii radiate and affect those around you. It’s essential to believe in your goodness, even when facing self-doubt or criticism. By nurturing your self-love, you allow your true essence to shine, lifting and also inspiring others.

Lesson Three: Healing Through Reflection

Self-love is vital for healing. When you embrace your true self, you provide the foundation for overcoming your challenges. Self-love invites you into a nurturing space where you can safely process your emotions. Reflecting on your experiences without judgment allows you to grow and heal.

Your self-love is not just a gift to yourself; it’s a gift to everyone around you. By nurturing your goodness, you help create a world that reflects love and compassion.

Feel free to share with friends & family or drop a comment.

Love and recognize yourself in everything. Take care! ♥️

Find Your Inner Calm: Love, Peace, & Joy!

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Our theme today is, “The brain thinks, but the heart knows.”

In this fast-paced world, we often find ourselves caught in the web of thoughts, worries, and distractions that our mind generates. But there’s a deeper wisdom within us that the heart knows, guiding us toward unity and wholeness.

In this episode, I’ll share three key lessons that explore this theme.

Lesson 1: The Distinction Between and Heart Mind

Our brain is a remarkable organ, processing information, analyzing situations, and creating narratives. It’s logical, rational, and often driven by past experiences and future possibilities. However, the mind can also trap us in cycles of fear, doubt, and overthinking.

The heart is the seat of our emotions, intuition, and spirit. It transcends logic. When we lead with our heart, we tap into a profound sense of knowing and connection.

Lesson 2: The Heart as a Center of Oneness

When we connect deeply with our hearts, we realize that we are all part of a collective consciousness. This realization fosters compassion, empathy, and love, uniting us as one.

The heart helps us break down the barriers of separation that the mind often creates. It invites us to experience life in a more interconnected way, reminding us that we are all woven together in this human experience.

Lesson 3: Integrating Mind and Heart

This lesson is about integrating the wisdom of the mind and the heart. It’s not about choosing one over the other; it’s about harmonizing them. The mind can support the heart’s knowing by providing clarity and discernment.

As we learn to balance these two aspects, we cultivate a state of unity consciousness. We become aware of our thoughts without being defined by them. We acknowledge our fears while still choosing love.

I encourage you to repeat this affirmation often: “I trust the wisdom of my heart.” Let it serve as both a shield and a compass on your journey.

If you found this episode meaningful, please share it with others who may benefit from this message.

Until next time, may you walk your path with love and grace.

Gratitude & Blessings! ♥️

Release Hurt: Love Yourself, Move Forward!

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we gather to reflect on a beautiful and profound quote that would resonate with the very core of your being, and also help you to dive deep into the essence of love, truth, and personal empowerment.

The quote is attributed to Rabindranath Tagore, the first non-European to win the Nobel Peace Prize in Literature.

Now, Let’s open our hearts and minds to these words:

“Beloved, today we speak right to the energy of Love, because the hour is ripe, and the invitation is clear.

Love is not an emotion.

It is not a sentiment.

It is not a fragile flower to be protected from the winds of life.

Love is the raw, roaring truth of your being.

It is the original frequency of your soul before time carved your name into form.

To choose love is to choose reality.

Not the illusion of safety, not the performance of light, but the presence of wholeness that says,

I am here. Fully. Now.

You do not choose love because it is easy.

You choose love because it is you.

The world may rage. The collective may swirl in fear, confusion, and noise.

But the Master does not answer chaos with more chaos.

The Master remembers.

You radiate clarity.

You live in peace.

Every time you choose love, you collapse timelines of pain.

You rewrite the laws of cause and effect.

You pull back every projection and stand in the mirror of your own divinity.

And in that still, unwavering gaze, you remember the most sacred truth of all:

Love was never out there.

It was always the fire within,

waiting for your permission to rise.”

What a powerful message!

Three key lessons that arise from this quote:

Lesson 1: Love is an inner truth, not an external emotion.

Lesson 2: Choosing love is a radical act of courage.

Lesson 3: Love rewrites reality.

Every time you choose love, you collapse timelines of pain and rewrite the laws of cause and effect. This teaches you that your choices have profound impacts, shaping your life and the collective consciousness. By radiating love, you bring clarity and peace to yourself and the world around you.

Let’s carry this energy of love into our lives and share that radiance with the world. Remember to stay rooted in love and truth.

Embrace Your True Self: Live Authentically Now!

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we dive into a topic that lies at the heart of self-discovery—Knowing Who You Are! In a world that often expects so much from you and I, we can sometimes lose sight of who we are or find the space and time to know who we are.

In this episode:

We’ll discuss practical ways to appreciate and celebrate your individuality, turning comparison into inspiration.
We’ll explore also effective methods for building self-esteem that will empower you to silence those negative thoughts and embrace your authentic self.
We’ll introduce a simple meditation to help you connect with your inner self, allowing you to embrace who you truly are beneath all societal and familial pressures.

Embracing your uniqueness starts with recognizing that no two individuals are the same, and that diversity enriches your collective experience. It’s essential to take the time to identify what makes you unique—whether it’s your background, experiences, skills, or perspectives.

As you embark on your quests for authenticity, you will be reminded that when you honor your unique self, you open the door to boundless possibilities.

Remember, your journey of self-discovery is beautiful, and I’m so grateful to be part of it. Until next time, embrace your power and grace.

Gratitude & Blessings! ♥️

Leaving Regrets Behind: Move forward to a Brighter Tomorrow!

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Welcome to a new episode about what if's and letting go.

Many of us spend countless hours ruminating over missed opportunities, endless regrets, and paths not taken, but today, we’ll explore how to let those thoughts go and embrace a life of possibility and authenticity.

Here are the 3 things takeaways:

You will gain an understanding of how dwelling on hypothetical scenarios and past regrets can affect your mental health, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life, hindering your ability to fully engage with the present.
You will have actionable techniques, such as mindfulness practices and journaling exercises, that you can use to process your feelings, let go of emotional burdens, and shift your focus from the past to a more empowering and positive present.
You will learn how to cultivate self-awareness and recognize your inherent worth, allowing you to reframe your narratives and embrace a life free from the weight of regret.

Each of us possesses the capacity for growth and rebirth, free from the burdens of our past decisions. So, let us adopt the mantra that embodies our essence: “I am a woman of power and grace.” Let’s lead with that affirmation in our hearts as we move through our lives with intention. I encourage you to take this mantra with you, repeat it whenever you find yourself caught in “what if” traps, and feel the strength it brings.

Please share this message with friends and family. Thank you for joining me today; your journey is as powerful as the stories you choose to embrace. Remember, each step you take is a testament to your strength and resilience.

Acknowledging Raw Emotions: Your Path to Dignity & Power!

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode, you’ll learn how to reclaim your dignity and power, fostering more love and goodness in your life.

How many times have you compromised your dignity for crumbs of affection or validation?

Many people face situations where they bend themselves to fit into someone else’s expectations, desperate for love or acceptance.

Your worth should never be measured by how much you sacrifice for others’ approval. When you overlook your true emotions, you become entangled in a cycle of unfulfilling relationships that leave you feeling lost.

Three Key Takeaways:

The first step toward acknowledging your worth is by understanding that your feelings and boundaries are valid. It’s essential to recognize that you deserve relationships that reflect your dignity.
Setting boundaries isn’t just about protecting yourself; it’s about respecting your emotions and needs. Learn to say “no” or “enough!”
Embracing your raw emotions is crucial. They are not weaknesses to hide but strengths that empower you to connect deeply with yourself and others.

Remember that claiming your power doesn’t mean being confrontational; it means being true to yourself. As a woman, you hold immense strength, and it’s about grace, dignity, and love.

When you let go of relationships or behaviors that no longer serve you, you open space for love and goodness to flow into your life. You are worthy of authenticity, compassion, and respect. So when you feel that familiar urge to compromise for crumbs, pause and remember that you are a woman of power and grace.

Women's Empowerment: Turn Obstacles into Opportunities & Purpose!

Fri, 30 May 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Today, we’re diving into a powerful topic: “Where There’s Purpose, There is Opposition," and spiritual discernment is necessary to move forward.

In this episode, you will learn three critical insights:

Understand how challenges are often markers of purpose, and why it’s essential to view these obstacles through a lens of growth.
Discover how tuning into your intuition can guide your decisions, helping you navigate opposition with clarity and purpose.
Explore practical ways to stay grounded in your daily life, ensuring you're spiritually anchored, especially in challenging times.

As we venture into our dreams and passions, we often encounter opposition. This can manifest as self-doubt, criticism from others, or unexpected life challenges. But here’s the twist: these obstacles are not signs of failure—they're often indicators that you are on the right path.

It’s crucial to understand that with every duality of purpose and opposition comes growth. Embrace your challenges as part of your sacred journey. Trust in your ability to discern, and let grounding practices like prayer keep you anchored.

Just like the remarkable women we've celebrated, trust that your struggles can lead to profound growth and purpose. Stand firm in your truth, and let the spirit of defiance guide you through the storms of opposition.

Know that you are not alone on this journey. Together, we can inspire change and uplift one another, forging a path rooted in resilience and grace.

Thank you for joining me today; may you walk forward confidently and purposefully, lighting the way also for others.

Heal, Love Yourself, & Build Confidence to Own Your Moment!

Fri, 09 May 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Today’s episode is titled "You Are the Sign: Becoming Your Own Moment.

Have you ever found yourself waiting? Waiting for the right moment to make a change, to take a leap, or to follow a dream? Maybe you’re looking for a sign – a spark of clarity that tells you it's finally time.

Today, we’re journeying deep into the idea that perhaps the sign you’ve been searching for isn’t outside of you at all; it’s something you become.

Three things you will learn:

Understand that your worth is not dependent on external validation. You are complete and powerful in your own right. The moment you realize this, you shift from a mindset of waiting to one of action.
Discover how becoming the person you aspire to be opens the door to new opportunities. The transformation isn’t about finding the right moment; it’s about becoming the right person for the moment.
Tap into your inner wisdom and intuition to create signs in your life that guide you toward your aspirations. This practice helps you to be proactive rather than reactive.

Waiting can feel both agonizing and hopeful. It’s that space where anticipation builds, but it can also lead to doubt and uncertainty. We often think we need permission or validation from external sources – friends, family, the universe. But let’s rethink this narrative.

Imagine for a moment that the version of you who is living your dreams is not just a distant vision but a reality waiting to unfold. This shift requires a deep commitment to yourself. When you embody the qualities you aspire to, the universe starts to align with your new vibration.

Thank you for joining me on this empowering journey. Remember to embrace your daily signs and live as the powerful and graceful woman you are.

If you enjoyed today's episode, please share it with someone who needs to hear this message. Until next time, continue radiating your light and embodying your truth.

Thank you for being here. If you have not done so already, please subscribe, share this with a friend who might need this affirmation of power and grace.

We all have internal rhythms—those natural cycles that govern our energy, emotions, and creativity. Often, we find ourselves juggling multiple roles and responsibilities, which can lead us to ignore these rhythms in favor of routines that don’t truly serve us.

3 Things You Will Learn

How to identify the rhythms present in your life. Just as nature has its cycles—like the changing of the seasons and the phases of the moon—you experience emotional cycles too.
The significance of emotional cycles and how they impact your well-being. It’s natural to experience a range of emotions, from joy and excitement to sadness and anger.
How to incorporate rhythmic activities that can be incredibly healing and allow you tap into your body and emotions in a way that transcends words.

Life's rhythms also include your physical body—your heartbeat, your breath, and even sleeping cycles. When you acknowledge these natural rhythms, you align yourself with the flow of life rather than fight against it.

The rituals and rhythms mentioned allow you to create a harmonious flow that supports your goals, emotional health and also empower you to live fully in your truth. Remember, the journey is about progress, not perfection; it's about discovering what makes you feel alive and vibrant.

Find Your Voice: Building Confidence & Self-Worth!

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Today, we’re discussing the profound idea that you are the creator of your narrative. This concept is about recognizing that your life is a story unfolding with each choice you make, and you have the power to author it.

Whether you find yourself at a crossroads in your career, facing personal challenges, or simply seeking fulfillment, understanding that you control your own script can lead to profound changes. So, let’s look into how you can embrace your role as the storyteller of your own life.

3 Things You Will Learn

Understanding Your Narrative: You’ll learn how to identify the stories you tell yourself and how they shape your reality. We’ll explore how your beliefs and past experiences can influence your current perceptions and actions.
Rewriting Negative Scripts: We’ll discuss practical strategies for recognizing and rewriting negative narratives. You’ll discover how to replace self-doubt and fear with confidence and resilience, transforming the way you approach challenges.
Embracing Your Creator-ship: Lastly, you will learn to embrace the power of choice in crafting your life’s story. We’ll emphasize that you have the tools to create a narrative that reflects your true self, aspirations, and dreams.

It’s essential to recognize the stories you tell yourself—those beliefs that create the framework of your identity. Oftentimes, we unconsciously adopt narratives from our upbringing, societal expectations, relationships or past experiences that do not serve our true selves.

Why is narrating your story important?

Too often, we find ourselves allowing others to narrate our stories, subtly or overtly shaping our identities based on their perceptions and expectations. These external narratives can seep into your consciousness, leading you to believe that you are less than, unworthy, or incapable, gradually eroding your confidence and self-esteem.

Remember, your narrative is your strength; keep creating, keep thriving, and uplift your voice as a woman of power and grace.

Thank you and many blessings!

Please subscribe, and share this episode with the women in your life who are ready to embrace their power and grace. ♥️

Unlocking Your Story & Sovereignty for Success!

Fri, 04 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this conversation, we’re going to explore the power of unlocking the doors in your life and the transformative energy that comes from embracing your story. By the end of this episode, you will learn three powerful insights, engage in a short meditation, and resonate with the empowering slogan: “I am a woman of power and grace.”

What You Will Learn:

Understanding the Locked Doors: We all face challenges and obstacles that may feel insurmountable, like locked doors keeping us from our dreams and aspirations. These barriers are not just physical or situational, but often mental or emotional as well. Understanding the nature of these locked doors helps you to confront and reflect on what needs to change within you, so you can move forward.
The Power of the King of Glory: This affirmation refers to an inner strength and divine guidance that has the capacity to change your circumstances. Connecting with this source of empowerment can bring about change in your life.
Embracing Your Story: Your story is uniquely yours, filled with experiences that have shaped you. By accepting every chapter, both the triumphs and the trials, you can take ownership of your narrative. You can visualize a future filled with possibility while embodying the affirmation.

I invite you to reflect on a locked door in your life. What steps can you take to open it? Share your thoughts with me in your comments, and don’t forget to subscribe or share so that we can keep the conversation going.

Remember to nurture your dreams, stay courageous, and always walk in your power and grace.

Shining in Your Most Authentic Form from the Sacred Space of the Heart!

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0400

This episode is all about understanding the sacred space of the heart where our humanity shines in its most authentic form.

Here are the reflective questions to process:

What roles do you play in your life that allows for genuine connection with others?

How can you bring more vulnerability and unity into your everyday relationships?

Three things you’ll learn today:

1. The Healing Power of Vulnerability:

Pope Francis poignantly points out that hospitals often reveal the truest essence of who you are. When faced with illness or injury, you shed your facades and recognize your shared humanity. You learn that vulnerability can lead to healing—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well.

2. Unity in Diversity

In the reflective words, you witness the beauty of diversity coming together in seemingly impossible scenarios. Imagine a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor—a poignant reminder that love and care transcend our labels and biases. This inspires you to break down barriers in your own lives and advocate for unity across different backgrounds.

3. The Impermanence of Life

You are encouraged to focus on what truly matters in your limited time on this planet. You should embrace love over judgment, time spent with loved ones over unnecessary material pursuits, and moments of genuine connection over societal expectations.

Thank you for joining us for this soul-enriching conversation. If you enjoyed today’s episode, please share it with a friend and subscribe for more inspirational content.

Until next time, keep shining your light! Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely! And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.

Much love, gratitude and many blessings! ♥️

Acting in Harmony with "What Goes Around Comes Around!"

Fri, 21 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In today’s episode, we explore the thought-provoking Akan proverb: “Se wamma wo yonko anntwo nkron a, wonntwa du,” meaning "If you don't let your friend cut (or get) nine, you will not cut or get 10!"

Through this saying, we’ll discuss the themes of community, generosity, and interconnectedness.

You will learn:

How interconnectedness enriches lives and fosters a support system that ultimately enhances the individual experience.
The concept that giving, even in small ways, creates a cycle of abundance. Examples of generosity—whether materially, emotionally, or spiritually—can transform communities.
How this proverb resonates with contemporary issues, bridging the gap between traditional wisdom and modern life in a globalized world.

In what ways can you contribute to your community that fosters a sense of abundance for everyone involved?

This question invites you to think about your unique gifts and how they can enhance the lives of those around you.

You possess the ability to uplift those around you simply through your actions and intentions. This theme of generosity and community support extends beyond cultural boundaries, resonating globally from urban neighborhoods to rural villages, in every context and society.

Let the wisdom of this Akan proverb inspire you, reminding you that your generosity begets abundance—not just for you, but for your community. And.. Let’s continue to embrace our shared journeys, supporting one another as we strive to make the world a brighter place.

Please share, subscribe, and/or comment.

Stay graceful and powerful! ♥️

Overcoming the Pain of Inadequacy and Self-Doubt!

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we look into steps you can take to overcome the pain of inadequacy, self-doubt and embrace your journey!

You Will Learn:

To see your scars as symbols of resilience. Each scar tells a story—be it a physical wound from a fall, a metaphorical scar from emotional pain, or even an imperfection that you once deemed flaws. These stories hold immense power; they remind you that you have faced challenges and emerged stronger.
Understand the importance of internal validation. The most enduring source of confidence comes from within. By embracing your imperfections, you become the captain of your own self-worth.
To practice self-love and acceptance. When you start viewing your life’s trials as stepping stones towards growth, self-acceptance becomes much easier.

So, what does it mean to embrace your scars and imperfections?

They are not just marks on your body or reminders of hardships; they are physical manifestations of your journey. Remember, every challenge you have faced, every heartbreak, mis-takes carry traces of your resilience and growth.

Embrace your journey, and know that it’s perfectly alright to seek fulfillment within. External validation is fleeting. Your inner strength? That’s forever.

Let’s continue to spread this message of self-love and acceptance. Remember to nurture the beautiful story that is you. You’re a woman of power and grace and your journey is an inspiration!

Much love, gratitude and many blessings,

Dr. Mensimah Shabazz

Women's History Month: Building on the Legacy of Strength, Empowerment & Responsibility!

Fri, 07 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0400

It is Women’s History Month and in this conversation, we’ll focus on the collective and tackle tough questions like:

Do we have to die for causes that women have already suffered or died for?
Have we perhaps taken our power for granted?

I’ll share three critical insights with you:

Understanding the Past is Crucial — Women have fought fiercely for rights and recognition through movements like suffrage, civil rights, and reproductive rights. Learning about these struggles helps us appreciate the sacrifices made by women before us, reinforcing the importance of continuing that march toward equality.
Recognizing our Current Privileges — Many women today enjoy freedoms that were hard-won. However, it’s essential to recognize that privileges come with responsibilities. Our ability to vote, work, and speak freely means we have the power to enact change. Acknowledging this can motivate us to act rather than remain passive in the face of injustice.
The Danger of Complacency — While it’s easy to celebrate our achievements, complacency can lead to forgetting that many women around the world still struggle for basic rights. It’s crucial to stay engaged and informed about ongoing inequities. This awareness can prevent us from taking our current status for granted and ensure we continue to advocate for those still fighting.

Remember, true power lies in resilience, compassion, and the ability to create change, all while maintaining your sense of self and integrity. Stand tall in your convictions, lead with kindness, and don't hesitate to claim your space in this world. Every small action contributes to the tapestry of progress, and your journey is an essential part of that story.

Thank you for being here. Please share and invite others into this community of power and grace. Until next time, keep embracing your legacy of strength!

Blessings! ♥️

Embracing Your Shadows: Transforming Challenges into a Love Story!

Fri, 28 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Today, we’re diving into a profound topic that resonates with many of you: Embracing the dark periods of your life and walking steadily through them. “The darkness needs to be seen, not as a threat, but as an opportunity to love.”

When we think about darkness, what comes to mind? Fear? Anxiety? Uncertainty? Perhaps memories of times when we felt lost or hopeless?

In this episode, darkness can be defined as the challenging and often painful experiences, emotions, or situations that evoke fear, sadness, and uncertainty in your life. It encompasses mental health struggles, grief, loneliness, and societal issues, serving as a backdrop for personal growth and transformation.

Here are 3 key things you will learn from the episode:

1. You will understand how to shift your perspective on darkness, recognizing it not as a threat but as an opportunity for growth and connection. This reframing can lead to deeper self-awareness and emotional resilience.

2. You will learn how love serves as a powerful tool for healing in times of struggle--that compassion, both for yourself and others, can transform pain into purpose and foster meaningful connections.

3. You will have practical strategies for engaging the challenges you face in a healthy way, such as acknowledging emotions, reaching out for support, and performing acts of kindness. These steps empower you to navigate dark periods with courage and love.

Remember, embracing darkness with love creates a ripple effect—one act of self-love can light the way for others in their struggle. So choose to see the experiences not as obstacles but as opportunities for loving yourself and others.

Thank you for joining me today. If this message resonated with you, I’d love for you to share it with someone who might need it. In the face of darkness, love is the light you can share with all.

Blessings! ♥️

Experiencing the Transformative Power of “Love After Love” for Personal Growth!

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we review the poem "Love After Love."

You will learn:

The Importance of Self-Recognition: The poem emphasizes the necessity of recognizing and greeting your true self after periods of emotional struggle or loss. It speaks to the significance of self-acceptance in the journey of love.
Embracing Solitude: Walcott invites you to understand that solitude can be an opportunity for growth. Rather than viewing time alone as loneliness, you can see it as a chance to reconnect with yourself and cultivate a richer understanding of who you are.
Nourishing Self-Love: The poem metaphorically illustrates the act of ‘feasting’ on your own life, suggesting that you should cherish your experiences and emotions. This nourishment lays the foundation for a healthier relationship with yourself, which in turn enriches all other relationships you have.

The poem:

"The time will come

when, with elation,

you will greet yourself arriving

at your own door, in your own mirror

and each will smile at the other’s welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.

You will love again the stranger who was yourself.

Give wine. Give bread, Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored

for another, who knows you by heart.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf

the photographs, the desperate notes,

peel your own image from the mirror.

Sit. Feast on your life.”

So, take a few minutes today, sit with yourself, and feast on your life. Recognize the beauty of who you are, and remember that understanding yourself is the first step to truly loving others.

Blessings! ♥️

How to Shine as The Goddess You were Born to Be!

Fri, 17 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we draw inspiration from the powerful lyrics from a song titled “Farafina Mousso” that reminds us how intertwined our lives are with the essence of femininity.

It goes like this:

“If the earth is a woman

If the sea is a woman

If the moon is a woman

I know God is a woman

If a man needs a woman by his side, a superwoman

If we all love a woman then we should all respect our women —daughters, sisters, mothers

Farafina Mousso

You are stronger than you know.”

Farafina Mousso means African woman and the context is empowerment-- women’s empowerment.

I love this song because it underscores our place on this earth as women, as goddesses.

In this episode, you will learn:

How the qualities typically associated with femininity—nurturing, strength, empathy—can positively influence your life and society.
Why it’s crucial to honor your life and understand the significance of respect in building a more equitable world.
How you can celebrate your own strength and power, and how these ideals can inspire future generations.

Remember that the respect you give yourself is mirrored in how you treat the women in your life–daughters, sisters, mothers, friends. And you have a circle of female strength; together, you uplift and empower.

Blessings! ♥️

Dr. Mensimah Shabazz

PS/ “Farafina Mousso” means African woman. The context is that of empowerment, women’s empowerment.

Embracing a Positive End: Setting the Tone for the New Year!

As we begin the New Year, it’s a perfect time to:

- Uplift your spirit and honor yourself with the love and gratitude you deserve.

Affirmations are powerful tools that can transform your mindset and elevate your self-worth, and the three affirmations from the book Stepping into Magic by Gill Edwards—“I love every aspect of myself,” “I am radiant with love and light,” and “I am strong and capable”—embody a holistic approach to self-acceptance and empowerment.

Three Key Takeaways:

1. You will learn techniques to create your own affirmations that resonate with your unique voice, empowering you to ignite your self-worth as we begin 2025.

2. We’ll discuss the importance of reflection—taking the time to look back and acknowledge your growth, successes, and challenges.

3. Rather than rushing into resolutions that may not serve you, you will have strategies to cultivate a vision for your personal and professional life in 2025.

Let the words and affirmations reverberate within you as we begin a new journey in 2025.

Blessings! ♥️

You can project your thoughts and perspective with confidence.
You can discern the truth as situations develop.

The above list represents the first line of defense to create a sacred space, where you process your next best plan of action. The second line of defense is bringing the inner sense of being and qualities to serve others—family, friends, community, and neighbors.

Service to others does not mean submission, but rather an empowering mechanism to light the way for others. By applying the Golden Rule, which states that “we should love our neighbor as ourselves,” you are able to engage energies that are for your highest good.

Happy New Year!

Blessings! ♥️

Freedom: Experiencing the Power in Forgiving Friends and Foe Alike!

Fri, 25 Oct 2024 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we explore the profound impact that forgiveness can have—not just on your relationships with others but also on your personal journeys towards healing and empowerment.

What would your life look like if you were free from the burden of grudges and resentment?

Take a moment to let that question linger in your mind. Visualize how lighthearted and liberated you could feel if you choose forgiveness over anger.

You’ll learn three transformative ideas:

1. The difference between forgiveness and condoning behavior.

2. How forgiveness can free you from emotional burdens.

3. Practical steps to cultivate a forgiving mindset.

Let’s look at the practical side of forgiveness. You might be wondering, “How do I start? Where do I even begin?” Here are a few actionable steps:

1. Reflect on the Pain: Take time to acknowledge what hurt you. Write it down if it helps. Naming the hurt is the first step in understanding its impact on your life.

2. Express Your Feelings: You don’t have to confront the person directly if that feels too daunting. Sometimes, writing a letter—whether you send it or not—helps release pent-up emotions.

3. Make a Conscious Choice: Forgiveness is a decision. You can choose to let go. It might not happen overnight, and it doesn't erase the past, but it empowers you to move forward.

Remember, the journey may be challenging, but it also leads to tremendous growth and freedom. Until next time, keep shining brightly, and always walk in your power and grace.

How to Unlock Your Inner Light & Love Using "The Great Invocation" Prayer!

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 00:00:00 -0400

TAGLINE:

MRT Podcast helps women who feel disempowered to use transformative tools as they acknowledge their soul power, innate wisdom and intuition for a joyful and thriving life.

Today, we will explore the transformative power of "The Great Invocation" and how you can use it to unlock or expand your inner light and love.

Alice Bailey's "The Great Invocation" (1945) is a powerful prayer that invokes divine energies of light, love, and goodwill to uplift you and humanity.

In this episode, you will learn to:

1. Embrace and embody the qualities of light, love, and goodwill, fostering personal growth and spiritual development.

2. Connect with higher spiritual energies that can provide guidance, healing, and support in facing challenges and making choices.

3. Contribute to global efforts for peace, understanding, and unity, supporting the elevation of divine feminine qualities such as compassion, nurturing, and wisdom.

4. Foster a sense of interconnectedness and solidarity with other individuals and groups working towards common goals of empowerment, equality, and justice for women.

The Great Invocation (Adapted Version)

"From the point of Light within the Mind of God

Let light stream forth into the minds of every person every being.

Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God

Let love stream forth into the hearts of every person every being.

Let Love descend on Earth.

May the Great Messenger of God return to Earth.

From the center where the Will of God is known

Let purpose guide the wills of every person every being.

The purpose which the Holy Masters know and serve.

Let goodwill and the will to do good descend on Earth.

From the center which we call the Human Race,

Let the Plan of Love and Light work out.

And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power descend on Earth, Manifest the Divine Plan on Earth."

Honoring the Divine Feminine to Challenge Patriarchal Norms!

Fri, 16 Aug 2024 00:00:00 -0400

TAGLINE:

MRT Podcast helps women who feel disempowered to use transformative tools as they acknowledge their soul power, innate wisdom and intuition for a joyful and thriving life.

In this episode, we look into the wisdom of connecting with the goddess within us and the transformative impact it can have on our lives and society as a whole. We are going to explore the power of embracing goddess energy, honoring the divine feminine, and challenging patriarchal norms.

You will learn, by the end of this episode, how to:

1. Recognize and Challenge Societal Conditioning: By becoming aware of these ingrained biases, you can work towards dismantling harmful stereotypes and promoting a more balanced and inclusive understanding of gender roles.

2. Embrace the Divine Feminine: By honoring and celebrating qualities traditionally associated with the feminine, such as intuition, creativity, and compassion, you can tap into a source of strength and wisdom that resides within.

3. Uphold the Autonomy and Respect Women's Choices: This point highlights patriarchal norms that seek to control and restrict feminine energy. And by advocating for gender equality and challenging oppressive structures that limit women's agency, we can create a more equitable and inclusive society where all individuals are valued and respected for who they are.

By embracing Goddess energy and connecting with the Divine Feminine, we can create a more balanced and harmonious world. It's about reclaiming our power and stepping into our true essence as divine beings who are worthy of love, respect, and reverence.

Blessings!

Experiencing The Nurturing Energy of the Divine Mother: Worthy Journeys!

Fri, 09 Aug 2024 00:00:00 -0400

TAGLINE:

MRT Podcast helps women who feel disempowered to use transformative tools as they acknowledge their soul power, innate wisdom and intuition for a joyful and thriving life.

In this episode, you will learn:

1. To integrate the concept of worthiness in the context of birth circumstances and the nurturing energy of the Divine Mother, offering you a spiritual perspective on self-worth and the sacredness of your existence.

2. How acknowledging the Divine presence within yourself and others can lead to a deeper sense of intrinsic worthiness.

3. How to walk your path with compassion, gratitude, and reverence.

This powerful concept of "worthy" journeys invites you to reflect on the privilege or challenges that accompany your birth circumstances and recognize the Divine presence in your journey of self-discovery.

This soulful exploration of how your place of birth, the language we communicate in, and your race are integral components that shape your identity and influence your perceptions of self-worth, it is crucial to recognize that these characteristics are not measures of your worthiness but rather unique facets that contribute to the richness of your being.

We must learn to navigate through the man-made assumptions of unworthiness and illuminate the path to self-acceptance and empowerment, and let us remember that our place of birth, language, and race are not limitations but strengths that add depth and diversity to the tapestry of humanity. We must cultivate self-awareness, self-compassion, and a profound sense of self-acceptance rooted in the understanding that our worth transcends external labels.

Blessings!

Using Prayers to Expand Love to Self & All!

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, you have access to 3 tools and meditation strategies that can help you transform your life by accessing love when feeling stuck.

Yes, sometimes, we get stuck.

We become hooked on a problem or issue, and it seems to eclipse any ability to be happy or at peace. We find ourselves looping back to this issue over and over again, rehearsing conversations, replaying “if only”s. We berate ourselves for not doing things differently. We’re anxious, angry, frustrated, fearful or sad. When we’re in this state, it can seem impossible to access loving kindness. It might feel forced, or like just another thing we’re “failing” at.

3 Tools:

Connecting to pure loving kindness is an extremely effective way to loosening your grip. Come into the present moment, and open your hearts to the loving energies in and around you.
Inviting the Divine Mother energy into your life and practices (walks in nature, expressing gratitude at bedtime, et cetera)
Perceiving animate, inanimate objects as living and breathing by divine love. Embrace your oneness/interconnectedness with all things.

3 Interchangeable Meditation Strategies:

Meditation 1: Think of an age when you felt the most wonder, the most innocence, the greatest joy and bring into current reality.

Meditation 2: Allow your younger self to stay, switch your focus to the present "you" to create inner balance.

Meditation: 3: Invoke your infant self – pre-verbal, pre-walking, recognizing that children and babies have an extraordinary way of bringing us into the present moment – because that’s where they dwell.

And there is no child or baby more impactful to your life than the one you used to be!

Be her now!

Using the Divine Feminine Mirror to Balance Your Many Roles w/Love...

Fri, 05 Jul 2024 13:00:00 -0400

We explore and reflect on the empowering and healing essence of the Divine feminine mirror and also dive into the sacred realm of self-discovery, love, empowerment, and healing in this episode. We share a couple of ways you can see the Divine Feminine Mirror as a symbolic reflection of love, empowerment, and healing that reside within each of us, waiting to be acknowledged and embraced.

2 Ways to tap into Inner Strength & Wisdom:

Gaze into a mirror in your mind and see a radiant light shining back at you. See a deep sense of love and acceptance wash over you. Reflect on what you see.
Sit in silence and connect with your inner feminine energy. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Feel a sense of calm and peace wash over you. See a reflection of yourself in the divine feminine mirror as a strong and resilient woman capable of balancing your many roles with grace and love. In moments of stillness, realize that you hold within you the power to nurture, create, and heal.

Note that the Divine feminine mirror is not just a concept but a tangible source of love, empowerment, and healing that we can access within ourselves. By embracing this mirror and recognizing the divine qualities that reside within us, we can tap into a well of inner strength and wisdom that guides us towards a life filled with love, empowerment, and healing.

How to Tap into the Energies of the Divine Mother Within ...!

Fri, 21 Jun 2024 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we delve deep into the concept of the Divine Mother, the power of love and provide 7 tips and techniques to tap into the energies of the Divine Mother within.

By connecting with the Divine Mother within ourselves, we can access the transformative power of love and compassion, fostering healing and growth in both our personal and collective journeys.

Here are some practical tips and techniques to nurture our inner sense of love and care:

1. Connect with Nature:

Spending time in nature can be a powerful way to connect with the nurturing energy of the Divine Mother. Take walks in the park, sit by a tree, or spend time in a garden. Allow yourself to feel the interconnectedness of all living beings and the healing presence of nature's abundance.

2. Practice Self-Compassion:

Practice self-compassion by treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a beloved friend. Be gentle with yourself, acknowledge your worth, and offer yourself forgiveness and grace in moments of struggle or self-doubt.

3. Meditation and Reflection:

Set aside time for quiet reflection and meditation to connect with your inner Divine Mother. Visualize yourself surrounded by a warm, loving light that nurtures and supports you. Allow yourself to receive this loving energy and extend it outward to others.

4. Creative Expression:

Engage in creative activities that allow you to tap into your nurturing and expressive energy. Whether it's painting, writing, dancing, or singing, find ways to channel your emotions and connect with your inner source of creativity and love.

5. Cultivate Relationships:

Nurture your connections with loved ones and cultivate meaningful relationships that embody love, compassion, and understanding. Practice active listening, empathy, and kindness in your interactions with others, fostering a sense of unity and care.

6. Practice Self-Love and Self-Care:

Prioritize self-love and self-care practices that nurture your mind, body, and spirit. Engage in activities that bring you joy and replenish your energy, such as taking long baths, reading a good book, practicing yoga, or spending time in nature.

7. Gratitude Practice:

Cultivate a practice of gratitude to acknowledge the blessings in your life and express appreciation for the abundance around you. Take time each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for, fostering a sense of love, contentment, and connection with the divine energy within you.

The importance of self-love and self-care in nurturing our inner Divine Mother cannot be overstated. By prioritizing our well-being, setting boundaries, and treating ourselves with kindness and respect, we create the conditions for our inner nurturing energy to flourish. When we care for ourselves with love and compassion, we are better able to extend that love outward to others and embody the transformative power of the Divine Mother in our daily lives.

Happy Solstice!

Cultivating a Sense of Agency to Overcome Trauma

Fri, 07 Jun 2024 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I am going to talk about cultivating a sense of agency to overcome trauma.

This mindfulness exercise is designed to help you overcome the harmful effects of trauma, And to give you a stronger sense of self-agency, and control over how you relate to your trauma.

There may be natural, common feelings or beliefs about trauma you may have experienced, including entrapment, immobilization, and helplessness. Another common feature of trauma is feeling fearful of communicating.

To some degree, you may not feel like you can escape the awfulness of it.

Three Ways You Can Cultivate a Sense of Agency to Overcome Trauma

You can begin reflecting on experiences that define who YOU are with confidence.
You can take on challenges with strength. This provides the mind with the belief that you are greater than your past, bigger than anything that’s happened to you.
You can be an active participant in your life unfolding and reshape your future to be as bright and healthy as you desire.

Hoping this exercise was helpful to you. Please share your experience with us.

Many blessings!

Eliminate Controlling Conditions Using Spiritual Practices & Rituals!

Fri, 24 May 2024 13:00:00 -0400

Three Takeaways to Creating Your Spiritual Rituals And Activities

You may have heard that there are many paths to the Goddess, or finding your way home. And if you can tune into that energy and vibration, your path will be illumined.

You can start by doing some of the simplest things that does not cost anything.

To get some traction to creating your own spiritual rituals, you must, first and foremost, eliminate external conditions that control you — people, relationships and work conditions that leave you deprived and or depressed. Any relationship that causes you to lose your peace of mind is not worth having—not on this journey anyway. We will get into this topic on a deeper level later. For now, we are eliminating the stuff that hinder the journey towards wholesomeness.

2. Gather medicine to heal your wounded-ness. Spending time in nature, being playful, finding humor daily, walking barefoot on the grass, smelling earthy scents and listening to sounds of the rain are activities that open you up to positive, joyful energies.

3. Practices of love and happiness set the tone to all your interactions. If you value yourself first, you energetically compel others to see you in the same light.

Creating spiritual rituals and activities deepen your relationship with the Divine and consequently, you are able to live a more fulfilling, gentle and balanced life.

Many blessings!

How to Still the Mind to Experience Joy!

Fri, 10 May 2024 13:00:00 -0400

We have all heard the term "monkey brain" or "monkey mind," which typically reflects a lack of control in one's thoughts.

In this episode, we are going to show several ways you can still the mind.

It is said that:

"Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you have always believed , you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or work, all you have to do is change your mind."

Recognize that although the mind may not always do what you want it to, it is the mind that allows you to experience joy, pleasure, and gratitude. Begin offering the mind a few phrases of loving-kindness with the intention of building a gentler relationship with its thoughts.

Drop us a line and let us know how this helps you.

Tuning Into Divine Mother to Transform Your Life!

Fri, 26 Apr 2024 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, you will discover how embracing the diverse forms of the Divine Mother can transform your daily life.

We came to the world through Divine Mother. We walk on this earth by Her grace, surrounded by Mother nature. We go back out of this earth through her. She is our foremost supporter and well-wisher. There are so many aspects of the Divine Mother... Our own inner world opens as we experience Her in those aspects.

Our minds, with all its illusions continue to do battle with the higher self until we awaken to higher levels of consciousness. In Her many forms and symbols, we experience all beauty and fierceness. She is the passage home. It is a path of peace, of joy, of bliss, abundance, tranquility, power and grace.

How to Connect with the Divine Mother for Healing & Guidance!

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I share glimpses of my life as also written in my autobiography, Sankofa Learning from Hindsight, and read some excerpts from Chapter 7.

You would agree that we live in challenging times. We are each and collectively being called to step up, to level up to our divine purpose and we must yield to this call. Embracing the nurturing and loving energy of the Divine Mother can bring comfort, healing, and guidance. Take a moment to open your heart to her presence and feel her unconditional love surrounding you. Let her light and wisdom guide you through this journey of life. Together, let's open ourselves to the Divine Mother's embrace and find strength in her infinite compassion. 🙏

Connecting to the Four Bones for a Transformative Journey!

Fri, 29 Mar 2024 13:00:00 -0400

Connecting to the Four Bones

Wishbone - Life's challenges often force us to table our lives dreams until an opportune time comes. Sometimes, we can wait indefinitely and then life passes us by. When we are ready to pursue these dreams, universal forces meet us where we are and help us along the paths we have chosen.
Backbone - Do we have the courage to pursue our dreams, stand up for ourselves and subsequently others? We cannot allow others stand and occupy the center stage in our own lives.
Funny Bone - Can we laugh at our own stories? Having a sense of Humor of humor is essential to a successful journey.
Hollow Little Bone - There is mystery in the world, the unexplainable, the awe and wonder. Our connection to the beauty in nature, finding time in the quiet enhances our spiritual transformation.

If we begin to gather medicine to heal our woundedness through singing, dancing, storytelling and being comfortable with silence, we attune to that power from the spiritual world for healing. We can begin and end each day with gratitude and celebration.

Blessings!

Thrive By Sharing Your Story & Express Your Power from Within!

Fri, 15 Mar 2024 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, you will learn that each person has a story and this story is significant.

As a woman, you may find yourself in relationships (career, marriage, friendships, family) that either give you so much or take so much out of you and in sharing, you will realize that you are not alone in your experiences.

Indigenous wisdom teaches that to transform and thrive in life, you must also connect and share your stories. In sharing, you can uplift others. Consequently, you'd be able to live with passion, compassion, humor and love--for yourself, community and Divine Mother!

Acknowledging the Good & Living An Abundant Life!

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, you will learn one key tool to creating abundance in your life!

The only thing that you need to be abundant is the feeling of abundance. The only requisite for abundance is the feeling of abundance. And the foundation for the abundance in your life is simply acknowledging the good that you already have in your life.

Where is your acknowledgement for the good in your life?

In what ways do you acknowledge the good in your life?

Is there goodness in your relationships--with certain people?

Acknowledge the good in your relationships.

What can you appreciate about your health?

Acknowledge the good in your health.

When you reflect on the goodness of your life, what comes to mind first? Maybe it's certain people. Maybe it's material abundance. Maybe it's a sense of community, a sense of safety. Maybe you reflect on accomplishments in your career, your family, school. And what can you appreciate even more? Acknowledging the good even more.

What goodness do you sometimes forget about or take for granted?

Abundance comes in many forms, including opportunities, health, ideas and money. Embrace it all.

Blessings!

Accentuating the Positive

Fri, 02 Feb 2024 13:00:00 -0400

The mind has a negativity bias and it naturally clings to unpleasant experiences in order to “brace” us and protect us from danger. By actively seeking out moments of joy, we encourage the brain to shift that bias. As the saying goes, "what we put our attention on grows"—if we look for pleasant experiences, we will find them.

We can start our day with the intention of finding good things; be hunters on the lookout for something that brings us happiness. When we notice anything that makes us happy—whether it’s making it through a green light or calling an old friend—we should fully take in the moment.

Let's work to bring intentional mindfulness to the positive moments of our day. One effective way to do so, is by using affirmations. Asserting and repeating positive statements shift the mind into creating joyful moments. The key is believing what we assert. If any one affirmation does not resonate, we can create our own statements.

Blessings!

Putting Life & Death In Context!

Fri, 19 Jan 2024 13:00:00 -0400

The reason for this conversation is to allow us to reflect on our new year resolutions and the pace with which we set things in motion without a moment’s consideration that this life we live is impermanent. If we were mindful of this point, it should allow us a space or place where we are fully present, living moment by moment. Being fully present alleviates anxiety and worry. After all, we experience miracles living in the now, in the present moment. Living in the past and future often heighten our worries and anxieties and we constantly play old and unrealized events in our minds, often inhibiting our creativity.

We must bring into our awareness that there is always an ebb and flow in our life experiences. There is always movement. When you say “my death is certain,” you are acknowledging that every single thing in this world comes into existence, stays for a while, and then dissipates again. No one is exempt from this natural order of things.

As you contemplate this, and say to yourself, “the time of my death is uncertain,” you acknowledge that you cannot know the future. Anything can happen at any moment. Our lives are so fragile, and precious as if with a flash of lightning, this one life could end at any moment. Generate a deep deep gratitude for the fact that you are here. So rejoice for this opportunity, this one breath.

Recall that no matter how many friends you have, no matter how many people love you, no matter the family gathered around, when it’s time, we will leave this world on our own. Also recall that no matter how many things you have accumulated no matter how much money you have in the bank, no matter how much you’ve surrounded yourself with the comforts of this world, none of it can go with you, when it’s time for you to leave this world. The only thing that can help you in that moment will be your stability of mind. Plan accordingly.

Many blessings!

Being the Best Version of Ourselves in 2024!

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 13:00:00 -0400

Happy New Year Beautiful Ladies!

I wish you the very best of everything coming up this year and as we navigate this adventurous journey, I hope that we will all find within us the power to rise up to our full potential. Our topic for this episode is Being the Best Version of Ourselves in 2024.

Practicing mindfulness is key to our success. What we are able to do is to develop a different type of relationship to a specific goal, where we eventually feel at ease with it, and potentially, even start to embrace it as a way to understanding the mind.

This is about living on your own terms. This is about choosing how awake and present we want to be for the life we’re living right now. This is about enhancing our presence, our wisdom, our compassion, and our effect on the world inside of us and outside of us to the absolute best of our ability.

Happy New Year and to the best versions of ourselves!

Rise Up!!

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 13:00:00 -0400

We are entering the Golden Age. Metaphorically, the Golden Age is a period of great progress, positivity, prosperity and happiness. And so I will use this last episode of the year 2023 to reflect on what we have accomplished in all the conversations we have had this year and what we can look forward to in the new period of abundance and happiness.

This episode is titled RISE UP!

I chose this title because I see life as this circuitous journey, that keeps us learning new life lessons, growing in wisdom, sometimes falling and having to dust ourselves off the ground and keep going.

Poems:

RISE UP! by Rumi

I love Rumi poems and especially this poem. But there is one thing that stood out to me every time I read it. I'd like to insert your names in the lines like Rumi did with Moses, Mohammed, Jesus Christ, Abraham.

Part the waters with your staff – you are today’s Magdalena.

Tear through the cloak of fog! You are of the light, the same light as Mother Mary.

Shatter the mirrors of the beautiful, you are the dazzling Isis.

Blow the breath of life like Sofia – you, too, are of that air.

My poem I AM:

I am a woman born in the image of the goddess

with infinite wisdom, beauty and grace.

I am a woman who has grown up and known

the depths of darkness

losing my virginity through brutality but yet it did not

taint or dwindle my feminine power.

I am a woman who was blessed in that moment and arose to

experience the energy that connects me to Gaia and Spirit.

I am a woman who knows that no amount

of torture, ridicule can change the natural flow

of energy that fertilizes my heart.

I am a woman fiercely loyal to causes that uphold

the dignity of all women.

And as a woman, I recognize the love, unity and friendship

that binds all women to the goddess.

I am a proud mother, aunt, daughter and sister

who relates to the vastness of a woman’s love.

I am a special woman in a man’s world,

born to be adored by my lover.

I yield my soul to the glory of Spirit

that I may proclaim in praise of the sacred that

I am above all else a goddess.

Many blessings!

Thank you again for a fabulous year!

Practicing Patience... Beyond the Holidays!

Fri, 08 Dec 2023 13:00:00 -0400

Hello there! I'm so happy to have the opportunity to be with you again. I know the this time of year, as exciting as it could be, can also be very stressful for many. Holiday shopping, family gatherings, and work often add to our stresses and anxieties. We often feel boxed in to old ways of doing things and fulfilling expectations that things would remain the same. This meditation of increasing patience, managing time and communicating effectively is meant to help you to step away from the hustle and stay centered. So let's begin.

You want to improve your communication with others, manage your time wisely and easily, and increase your patience. In order to do these you must become very relaxed and then focus on what it is that you desire to achieve. So say to yourself, “I intend to have good patience, communicate effectively with others and manage my time easily and wisely...”

Happy Holidays!

Thank you again for a fabulous year!

Making Prayer Work!

Fri, 24 Nov 2023 13:00:00 -0400

MAKING PRAYER WORK!

This episode is a follow up to Episode 59 where I talked about prayer and the fact that it works!

I like the quiet moments of conversation, of listening to the inner whispers, of acknowledging the communication centers including my gut for insight, knowingness, and pure unadulterated intelligence that flows to me. I am sharing my native, traditional prayer format — the libation..

The most common or frequently used ritual of prayer in the Akan tradition is the pouring of libation. This is done on different occasions, including naming ceremonies, rites of passage (e.g., puberty, birthdays, weddings, graduations), funerals and mourning rites, and traditional festivals. The libation or prayer acknowledges Nana Nyame—God, Twereduampong—The Omnipotent God, Eno Asaase Yaa—Mother Earth, and the ancestors. It asserts faith and expresses gratitude for what has been accomplished by Nyame’s grace. The prayers also make several declarations of wealth earned or to be earned for the clan; they affirm good health, protection from evil, and blessings for the young children born to expand the lineage. The closing remarks ask for more blessings for the specific occasion and for all future endeavors.

A Prayer

Nana Nyame, Twereduampong, Bo Adee—wo nsa nie. Eno Asaase ya, yewo nkwa mu a yedan wo, yewo owuo mu a yedan wo—wo nsa nie oo. Asuo Bosompo—wo nsa nie. Asuo . . . wo nsa nie oo. Nananon Adinkanfuo, momegye nsa. Asusumpa, Abofopa a mowo apuee, ato benkum ne nifa mo nso mo nsa nie. Abusua ahoroo nyinaa momegye nsa. Mo nim nea enti a mefre mo nanso yeeka bio—Mo na mo se “ka na ka bio yenkyi.”

Me da mo ase se mo ama me atukwan afa asuo Bosompo so, ma metumi akyere adee a yen Nananom akyere yen. Me da mo ase mo ama me adwene ne akoma, ne ahuoden na menfa wie m’adwuma yi. Mesre mo se won a wode won ahoodee, ne won adwene beka nhyiamu yi, mom ma nhira nka won nyinaa. Mesre mo se me kasa a merebekasa yi, moma enye kasa pa na ente mo anim. Mesre mo se biribiara a yebe no bewie wo anigyina ne asomdwee mu.

Obaatanpa, Nana Nyame, Me Nananom, Asumsumpa ne Abofopa, nsa oo, nsa, nsa!

Translation:

God, Great Tree on which we lean, Creator—here is your drink. Mother Earth, we depend on you while living, we depend on you when we die—here is your drink. Bountiful deity of the sea—here is your drink. River, here is your drink. Grand Ancestors, come and get your drink. Benevolent Spirits and Messengers from the East, North, West, and South— here is your drink, too.

All various clans, come get your drink. You know why I am calling you, but you taught that repetition is not taboo.

I thank you for allowing me to travel across the bountiful sea, to share what the Great Ancestors taught us. I thank you for the blessing of mind, heart, and strength to complete this work. I pray for unlimited blessings for those who bring their minds, hearts, and strength to this project.

I pray that you let my presentation honor you and be a good one. I pray that everything would end joyfully and peacefully. God, Good Mother, My Great Ancestors, Benevolent Spirits and Good Messengers, Drink, drink, drink!"

The prayer is representative of the format of libations, where all the Akan concepts about the Supreme Being, Mother Earth, Spirits, Deities, Ancestors, Directions, are addressed and thanked before any supplication. The prayer ends by acknowledging the presence of All, and always with an offering of a drink, usually clear liquid, like water or gin.

The idea is to create a prayer in your own words, using a format that resonates with you, and express the desire you have and commit to having a conversation with the God in You! It has been suggested that using your mother-tongue is even more powerful. You will feel a shift in how you activate all the divine archetypes and centers within you to really respond to you as the unique, magnificent being that you are!

Remember, you are woman of power and grace. Let no one say otherwise.

Thank you!

Miracle-Making Time!

Fri, 10 Nov 2023 13:00:00 -0400

In my last episode, I talked about the Presence and dropped a few lines of I AM statements we can affirm that will bring us alive to serve the world. We can express our magnificence beyond the roles we play daily, assert our essence as divine beings, and limitless as we walk this earth.

I also talked about miracles happening in my life and how awesome they felt, just pure jaw-dropping awesomeness. When we attune to the field of miracles, we see how the Divine intervenes in our daily challenges and struggles. If we could just move out of our own way!

I recently was reading the I AM Discourses by Godfrey Ray King and one affirmation stood out to me—probably because I needed a miracle to happen that day to enable me to shift to the reality desired.

It says:

“I AM the miracle, and I AM the Presence compelling its manifestation through Divine Love, wisdom and power.”

It is obvious that manifestation of miracles do happen when we are able to hold state for the improbable. We often look at something outside of us to come and bring us the things we desire. This affirmation tells us that we are IT. We compel its occurrence through Divine love, wisdom and Power.

We must put ourselves in the field for the manifestation to occur. This means, that firstly we must drop all the undesirable relationships and situations that hold us back, that keep us small. If you have been praying, and you have tried so many different approaches to no avail, please re-center yourself and start over with new energy.

We are energy and the scriptures tell us that we are made in the image of God, which means that we have the same “flux out of which God created the world!” We are here to co-create with God. To achieve this, we must have faith that has no limits. We must create channels for expansion. The universe expands and creates something new out of a single word. We cannot stand still. We cannot continue to choose to play it safe.

Collier notes:

“With us ordinary mortals, however, sooner or later comes a crisis in our affairs, and how we meet it determines our future happiness and success. Since the beginning of time, every form of life has been called upon to such crises. So the goal of life has always been DOMINION—a means of overcoming...

The purpose of Life from the very beginning has been dominion——dominion over every adverse circumstance. And through his part of dominion, his nerve-cell in the Mind of God and his ability through it to get whatever action he may persistently demand—man HAS dominion over everything.”

One solid practice I have used and recommend——is to make a Covenant with the Holy Spirit. I know it is old fashioned but it works miracles. Covenant with the Holy Spirit for your life, for health, strength, support, defense, perfect thinking, right speech, and for your joyous song of life.

Remember always, you are a Woman of Power and grace and you are the miracle, and the presence, compelling its manifestation through divine love, wisdom and power.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

If you’d like to know how to set up a covenant, please drop me a line. I appreciate you sharing our podcasts with friends and family.

““Affirmation:

“And every morning I will say, There’s something happy on the way. And God sends love to me. God is the light of my life, the Source of my knowledge and inspiration. God in the midst of me knows. He provides me with food for my thoughts, ideas for excellent service, clear perception, Divine intelligence.”

Shining Your Light!

Fri, 27 Oct 2023 13:00:00 -0400

What Does the World Need? The world needs you to come alive!

One of my favorite songs for children is “This Little Light of Mine.. I know there are many versions out there, But I will pick Sam Cooke’s version anytime! This episode’s title is about Shining our Light!

There are currently about over 20 plus wars going on, all being fought on many different fronts. The outrage for me is how women and children are the ones that suffer the most from the casualties of war. They continue to use weapons of mass destruction, often ignoring the common sense, peaceful tools available to all of us.

How can we counter that? We cannot engage on the same low frequencies that create these situations. Creatively, we can choose to engage differently and spiritually … By knowing what makes us really come alive; noticing the circumstances that light us up from the inside and make us shine. What the world needs now is for people, for you and me to come alive.

I believe in the human capacity to do good. I believe in the empowerment of self and that if we can generate that inner power and goodness, we can overcome anything together. It is imperative that we choose a cause to serve humanity in some capacity, and because there is power in numbers, we can effect change. Helplessness and hopelessness are not options!

This is a call to all those who feel that this human condition can be improved. That is the love of God, of Christ Jesus, of the Buddha, of Allah and of many cosmic beings of light who endow our experience with love. Let us bring forth, as part of our spiritual journey, growth, and healing, a deep love and mercy that touch the souls of the “other.”

You can assert certain truths about who you truly are: a divine being having a physical experience.

When you feel discouraged, say this:

I am all that is known

I am all that is unknown

I am in the drops of the tear

I am in the grain of sand

I am in the seer

I am seen

I am in the unborn and in the undying

I am the one who is born

I am the one who dies

I am beyond time, yet I am found in time

I am totality and so are you

I am the sun, the moon and the stars,

Infinity, I Am

Eternity, I Am

Immortality, I Am!

Loop back around and feel You are the Presence. And by shining our light, we as women of power and grace, can change the world, one woman one light, one love, at a time.

Prayer Works!

Fri, 13 Oct 2023 13:00:00 -0400

“WHAT IS PRAYER?

“But the stars throng out in their glory,

And they sing of the God in man;

They sing of the mighty Master,

Of the loom His fingers span,

Where a star or a soul is part of the whole,

And weft in the wondrous plan.”

—ROBERT SERVICE

If you would know the surest way of speeding up your rate of motion, and overtaking the things you desire, try PRAYER!

But when I say “prayer,” I don’t mean the begging kind. I don’t mean a lot of vain repetitions that seldom have the attention even of the one repeating them, much less of the Lord. Go to the Bible, and you will learn how to pray.

Out of 600,000 words in the Old Testament, only six, when literally translated, mean to “ask for” things in prayer, and each of these six is used but once.

Against that, the word “palal” is used hundreds of times to signify “to pray.” And “palal” means—“To judge yourself to be a marvel of creation; to recognize amazing wonders deep within your soul.”

Wouldn’t that seem to indicate that prayer was meant to be a realization of the powers deep within[…]”

Changing Your Perspective on Pain

Fri, 29 Sep 2023 13:00:00 -0400

Pain can overwhelm us not only physically but mentally. When pain gets out of hand, it can become part of our identity or even consume our entire sense of self, having entire days revolving around the pain. Your very life becomes dedicated to pain, yet pain is something everyone wants to get rid of. So why does this happen and how can you get your life back when pain has become so unbearable?

In this episode, we are going to look at the root causes of pain and how to shift perspective and heal. Pain alerts you that something needs attention. If you have a traumatic injury, the pain tells you the wound needs to be mended. But what’s happening with chronic pain that continues for years and consumes your mind, is that the source of the pain is not being mended, and the alarm is constantly sounding out.

Our minds are very intelligent, as well as our bodies.

When there is something important in our mind that we don’t acknowledge, push away, and do not tend to, the only option our mind executes is to alert the body though pain. So instead of thinking that there is something wrong in your body, ask instead, what needs to be addressed in the mind? Perhaps you are working a job that brings you down but you don’t like to admit it. Maybe you are in an unhappy relationship that you continue to sit stagnantly in.

Or you could even be in a very happy relationship, but you have allowed too many burdens and responsibilities on yourself in an attempt to please everyone else but you. Unresolved upsets in your life manifest as body pains until you do something about them. They are alerts that you have gone beyond your instinctual boundaries and are not speaking your truth. So instead of asking what’s wrong with your body when you experience pain, ask what in your mind is screaming for your attention, but you continue to disregard and push away.

Hopefully, you will recognize from now on, your entire thinking about pain has changed. In order to fully understand the true meaning behind pain, we must change our perspective on it and embrace new approaches to healing.

Filling Your Cup Meditation

Fri, 15 Sep 2023 13:00:00 -0400

In this meditation, we are going to practice filling our own cups with gratitude, expressing thanks along with all of the living things around us.

The fountain inspires us to appreciate the gifts in our life. This fountain never goes dry so long as we keep gratitude alive in our hearts. Feel the water flowing through your body inspiring even more gratitude to arise within you. Envision your life perking up and blossoming with renewed energy. Breathing easily, simply enjoy your time in this garden for the next few moments, peaceful and relaxed.

Always remember that you can return to this garden whenever you would like to fill your cup with gratitude.

Many blessings!

Noticing Our Helpers!

Fri, 01 Sep 2023 13:00:00 -0400

This episode carries over from our last conversation that God is in Everything. This thought/belief creates a premise and question about why we go through certain challenges if God is omnipresent. How do we try everything we know but sometimes nothing moves in any direction even with our best efforts?

It is true that life is full of ups and downs. The ebb and flow guide us through our transformations and they are for our growth. So, how should we get through difficult days, weeks, months, sometimes years when nothing or most things seem not to move according to our plan(s)?

Do you feel the universe supports you no matter what?

Noticing our helpers can shift our perspective from challenges, difficulties, to recognizing that we have helpers all around us each moment of everyday and we will always have them in one form or another. Let’s put that to the test.

Bring to mind anyone who has ever helped you in your life. Remember all the way back to your mother and father perhaps, or your family, those who helped raise you.

Recall who it was that taught you the most basic survival skills in life--who taught you how to eat, how to brush your teeth, how to tie your shoes...

Recall all the traditional teachers and helpers in your life, remembering who taught you how to read, how to critically think, who taught you how to ask questions, or wonder...

And then also invite in those who occupy non-traditional roles, someone you know who helped you by simply being an example, or a listener, or someone who was an inspiration.

And then maybe there have been helpers in your life who appeared in challenging ways, forceful, even wrathful perhaps, and if you’d like to, invite them too, to sit up there with the others, smiling down upon you.

Invite in anyone else who deserves a place of honor, anyone whose life has changed the course of yours. Anyone who has contributed to who you are.

And once they are up there, feel their presence. See them, smiling upon you, proud of you, loving you. Feel their support, their love and their care for you... Allow your body to be held by all that love and kindness, and recognize why it is that you are here, meditating, continuing to grow, continuing to learn, walking the path of self improvement.

Recognize also how precious that is, and recognize how each one of your helpers has somehow contributed to your arrival right here in this place and time. In your own words, thank your helpers. As you thank them, send them light from your heart, smiling back upon them, as they smile down at you. And then visualize each and every one of your helpers, and all the light surrounding them dissolving into one bright shining ball of gold.

Feel that light slowly descend from the sky above you to the center of your heart. Feel its warmth, the warmth of your countless helpers within you. Stay connected to that warmth as you slowly open your eyes. Remember all your helpers, and that light within you heart as you move about your day.

Many blessings!

God Is In Everything!

Fri, 18 Aug 2023 13:00:00 -0400

Today, I invite you to embark on a journey of exploration as we delve into the intriguing concept that "God is in Everything." This idea challenges us to expand our understanding of spirituality and recognize the divine presence in all aspects of life. So, let's dive in and discover the profound implications of this statement.

The belief that God is in everything invites us to embrace the mystery and paradoxes of life. It encourages us to let go of rigid definitions and open ourselves to the vastness of divine presence. By doing so, we can find solace in the unknown, appreciate the beauty of contradictions, and deepen our spiritual connection.

By embracing the interconnectedness of creation, finding God in nature, nurturing divine qualities in our relationships, uncovering the sacred in everyday life, and embracing mystery and paradox, embracing the comedy of life, seeking the divine in unexpected places, and laughing at our own imperfections, we can cultivate a deeper sense of joy, connection, and gratitude. So, let's go forth with a smile on our faces, and elevate a profound sense of spirituality and connection with the divine.

With love!

The Power of Gratitude for Sleep

Fri, 04 Aug 2023 13:00:00 -0400

We live in the part of the world where our work schedules, and or stressful lifestyles have impact on how much and how well we sleep at night. This week’s topic is using The Power of Gratitude for sleep.

One of the reasons why it can be so hard to fall asleep at night is because we often have these feelings of agitation or worry or planning. Have you noticed this? Sometimes we're laying in bed, ready to go to sleep, or we just can't stop thinking about something. Thoughts just keep coming in and out of the mind incessantly.

Sometimes, we can have the same thought playing over and over and if we can't go to sleep, oftentimes there's this feeling of agitation that keeps increasing. One of the practices that we'd like to explore today is a practice of gratitude. A mindfulness practice of appreciating the things in our life or the things in our world that brings a sense of joy and happiness. This can help us to calm the body and the mind by focusing on that which is good or pleasurable that can help tell the body to relax, to soften, and to feel that for now, for this evening, everything will be alright.

So, to incorporate this practice in your routine, I would like to invite you to be in any posture you like and to bring forth a thought of something that you're grateful for. Something that you really truly appreciate. Maybe it's a person in your life. Maybe it was the weather today. Or a pet or an animal that you love. Maybe it's the fact that you're alive.

Let’s bring our awareness to those things that we're grateful for. The little things that we appreciate. Perhaps you have soft sheets in your bed. Maybe you appreciate how quiet the room is where you are right now. Maybe you appreciate that you have this time for yourself. To relax, to wind down.

To be able to find comfort in this moment with feelings of appreciation, warmth, safety, and feelings of ease in the body. Appreciating each breath. Each inhale and exhale this breath that keeps us alive. Relaxing the belly with each breath, each beautiful breath....

Feeling thankful for this moment of ease and comfort and safety.

Feeling appreciation for this moment of ease and well-being.

Letting go of any tightness and just inviting a sense of warm appreciation of kind awareness of our breath and our body. Consider this quote from Lufina Lorderaasch.

"Gratitude is not in the words but in the heart, which expresses it."

Gratitude is not in the words but in the heart, which expresses it. What meaning do you draw from these words? Gratitude is not in the words but in the heart, which expresses it. What meaning do you draw?

How does your heart express gratitude?

In what ways does your heart express gratitude?

How has gratefulness nurtured your love?

The Freedom To Be!

Fri, 07 Jul 2023 13:00:00 -0400

The topic for this episode is “The Freedom to Be!

We celebrate independence as a country (as in many other countries) from imperialism, colonialism, and down to apartheid systems and invasions. The common denominator in all these systems is oppression. There is always a country, or another entity that holds power over something, someone, or groups of people. And “power over” is the keyword here.

When people have power over others, it means that they take away their very essence of being—and we see that in many ways, our suffering also increases under these kinds of oppression. And these kinds of oppression exist in many different areas of of our human experience—in varied institutions including education, religion, healthcare, legal, financial, et cetera.. Everywhere we turn, there seems to be an obstruction that impinges on our experiences. With time, we lose our way.

But there is always hope. The hope to seek new pathways that bring freedom that the heart so desires. The hope to dream new possibilities, and I know there are infinite possibilities available to us if we willing to take steps to free ourselves from any form of oppression.

We all have this hope and freedom embedded in our human psyche and the beginnings of tasting our freedom start when we are willing to cut the binding chords in our relationships, with partners, family, friends, colleagues.

The freedom to be!

The freedom t be black and beautiful.

The freedom to be trans and walk freely into any building, school, that you choose.

The freedom to be LBTQIA and love the way you want to be loved.

The freedom to wear a hijab, a hoodie, and feel safe.

The freedom to express oneself with the very gifts endowed by the Divine.

The freedom to worship freely.

We experience daily how hatred and love co-exist in ur world. We see rights being taken away at moment’s notice. But we have the ability and strength and desire to uphold the dignities that we know are our human right to be. We are not constrained to stay put because we have the option to open a window and let in the light that will shine on our spirit to bloom like a flower opening fully to its essence with any hindrances.

I will share a favorite quote by Hildegard of Bingen:

We cannot live in a world that is not our own, in a world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a home. Part of the terror is to take back our own listening, to use our own voice, to see our own light.

Thank you so much for your support, for sharing our podcast with friends, for discussing topics in your respective groups. Please send a note if you are interested in working one on one with me, and or join our reflective questions platform.

As we go about our lives today, and in the few days, weeks, months and years ahead, let us firstly take a look at the chords that need to be cut, so we can free ourselves a bit more. We have the right to be; the right to cultivate the freedom our hearts desire, that goes beyond ourselves and extends to all humanity. Overcome the terror to use your own voice, and to see your own light. You have the right to be a woman of power and grace!

Thank you so much and I will see you in a couple of weeks.

Many blessings!

I AM Surrendered!

Fri, 23 Jun 2023 13:00:00 -0400

Happy Friday, beautiful members of my tribe!

Who are members of my tribe? We are all women of power and grace. And who is a woman of Power & Grace?

Here’s my definition…

She is unapologetically herself. She feels beautiful and fully present in her own reality. She understands love and speaks her truth. She acknowledges her strength, intuition and faith. Best of all, she sees her place in this universe, sharing her gifts with all! She is queen mother and daughter of the Most High One!

No one is you! No one can imitate you! No one can manage life with your exact same sensibilities, and that is your power. Cultivate inner peace so you will always be able to tap into your creative side because it is that unique expression that sets your heart apart from anything and everyone else.

So the topic for this week is I AM SURRENDERED!

After you have written your biggest dreams down, we have to surrender it before we get in the mode of setting expectations and becoming attached to outcome. I know we walk a difficult path sometimes. IT CAN REALLY BE HARD. That is why I applaud all women who bare their souls to bring awareness to issues in our society, AND we will make progress when we educate others that no one has the right to violate our space, body and sense of wellness. NO ONE!

If we can do this, together we will rise.

HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THIS?

When you are facing challenges--relationship challenges, mother-daughter challenges, or other children challenges, educational challenges, career challenges, family challenges, and the list goes on, one of the ways to get relief is to surrender all to a higher power. Some of us believe that to surrender, we are allowing someone else to push all the buttons in our lives. But I assure you, that as a spiritual being, you are here to co-create with this higher power.

Surrendering may feel like a weakness — but in reality, it is the most uplifting place to be. Because you remove all resistance. Remember that what you resist, persists!

When you surrender, you let go of all expectations, unhealthy attachments, and outcomes. It’s like creating a space around you, and in that space, you are able to begin doing the inner work-- Go deeper, and deeper, and transform painful experiences one at a time.

Before you know it, you shift into a positive space where you surrender to love.

To loving yourself fiercely.

To stop giving yourself to others so much..

And open to receive.. receive all the good that’s waiting to come into your life for your highest good.

Simply…

I believe everyone can set aside 5 minutes each day to increase your focus, open your mind, and achieve your desired goals. All that you need to do is relax, close your eyes and breathe.

I have faced many challenges in my life. And oh yes! There were times I was beside myself. And some of these challenges started when I was very young. For example, Just before my eleventh birthday, when I was sent to a girls boarding school hours away from home. Yes, I hated it, but not because I was throwing a tantrum. I met some of the scariest women ever. And it crushed me, because I had this innate knowing how we women can be nurturing and supportive of one another. I wrote the details of some of encounters that made me despondent in my book Sankofa: Learning from Hindsight. But I had the inner strength to strategize my exit. I had the gift on intuition, and that tool helped me to cope and step aside from the trauma I was experiencing into a space that transcended this earthly heavy way of living. I learnt the technique of setting aside the painful realities, entering a space of peace, and clarity.

Please Surrender! You will find a new realm of infinite possibilities as you master this. By releasing what is rigid within us, we free ourselves from what holds us back. We open and soften our hearts to impassioned living and with purpose! How do we learn to surrender?

Let’s try a simple practice. for 5 minutes...

Please listen to the end.

Thank you and many blessings!

Dance, Shake and Roll with Life In Our 50th Episode!

Fri, 09 Jun 2023 13:00:00 -0400

This past week- the Tina Turner-an idol, an icon, a legend, a mother, a woman of power and grace left this mortal arena to claim her place in the spiritual realm.

In this week’s podcast I would like to spend some time talking about her and how she exemplified being a woman of grace and power.

In her 2020 book, Happiness Becomes You: A Guide to Changing Your Life for Good, she writes:

I’ve reflected a lot about adversity over the past decade while I battled a series of severe health crises that nearly killed me. Through it all, I had many opportunities to review my life and ask myself some tough questions.

How did I overcome so many serious problems? You might know the list, and it’s long—an unhappy childhood, abandonment, an abusive marriage, a stalled career,

There were so many external circumstances and forces I couldn’t change or control, but my life-altering revelation was that I could change my way of responding to these challenges. The most valuable help comes from within, and peace comes when individuals work on becoming their better selves. I started that work in my thirties, when I discovered the transformative power of spirituality.

Spirituality isn’t tied to any one religion or philosophy. It isn’t the property of a priesthood or clergy. Spirituality is a personal awakening and relationship with our Mother Earth and the universe that increases openness and positivity.

In almost every episode of this podcast, I have emphasized the importance of creating a personal spiritual practice. I know that our lives are only enriched by increasing devotion and relationship to Spirit. For Ms. Tina it was complete commitment to chanting the Buddhist mantra nam-myoho-renge-kyo. This commitment to spiritual practice requires discipline and a belief that no matter how bleak the circumstances there is something bigger, something better waiting to revealed in you and through you. Your wildest dreams, the ones that we too often keep locked deep within us are for you. They live just beyond that gap between your current reality and your best life. Your devotion, your spiritual practice is the bridge over that divide. As you cultivate this practice you step onto the path of the divine.

Your consciousness expands and you begin to see through the clouds and past your own limited perception of reality. From this vantage point, you begin to recognize the ways insecurity, self-doubt, fear, and resentment are preventing you from seeing the truth of your awesomeness. The more you grow in your practice the more you see the clouds, not as obstacles but as opportunities to add another another support under your bridge.

What we once perceived as problems become opportunities to see ourselves and our paths more clearly. Your true self grows stronger in this state of clarity as does your power to change whatever is stopping you for from manifesting that dream I know lives inside of you. So today, take a moment to write down that dream- write it all down, every detail. Let it be bigger than big. Let it be as fantastic and magical as it is. When you are finished read it back, change any place where you made it small or made it try to conform to your current circumstances. When you are done, I want you to read it back one more time and this time feel it in your heart, feel in the core of your being. See what it would look like, smell it, taste it, embody it with every cell of your being. And then I want you to put on a song that makes you want to dance, to celebrate. I want you to shake like Ms. Tina Turner when beat drops in Proud Mary. Move without thinking about rhythm or technique. Feel your inherent power. Feel your grace. Know that in this moment you are on the other side of that bridge. Know that if you can do it now you can do it again and again and again. Love yourself fiercely. Love every part of your life that has brought you to this present moment. Tina Turner concludes her 2020 book by writing:

If you could go back in time and change something in your eighty years of life, what would you change?”

My answer? Nothing.

The good, the bad, the ugly, and the pretty, it all adds up to me. I honor my journey, all of it. Changing the past would mean changing me. And I like me, just the way I am. Why would I want to change anything?

She continues:

I’ve already changed my past, by turning poison into medicine, and by raising my life condition, which transforms my perception of the past. Our perception determines the way events affect us. So, when we change the way a past event affects us, we effectively change the past.

In other words, since past, present, and future are seamlessly connected, a change in the present moment has the power to affect a change in everything throughout all directions of space and time.

On an even deeper level, the reason I happily and gratefully accept everything I went through in the past is because I believe every detail of my life is both my karma and my mission. We are all born with a mission, a purpose, that only we can fulfill.

When you live with a joyful sense of purpose, when you infuse your life with a greater purpose beyond your individual self, every aspect of your karma can become a brilliant facet of your mission. You can transform sorrow and adversity of any sort into joy, stability, health, and prosperity. By changing poison into medicine and accomplishing your inner revolution, you can use every experience of karma to encourage others who suffer from the same problems that you overcame.

You can become an ambassador of hope, an essential and radiant treasure of humanity, in which you recognize that all who have ever lived are members of your extended family.

As you continue to spread light in this way, actively doing good in the world, that energy will come back to you in abundant positivity. When you refuse to perpetuate any bad that has been done to you, you can free yourself from the chains of negativity.

Use your life for peace and goodwill. Keep on going until you climb the summit of your happiest dreams.

In your heart, I see the start of every night and every day

In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away

Just as long as I'm here in your arms

I could be in no better place

You're simply the best

Better than all the rest

Better than anyone

Anyone I ever met...

BREATHE!

Fri, 26 May 2023 13:00:00 -0400

My goal is to share some personal experiences with you in this episode. I have, in almost every episode, underscored the importance of having a spiritual practice and I feel it is pertinent to share a personal journey I experienced with you because it showcases how our world could expand when we open ourselves up to spiritual intelligence. It guides us to some awesome places. My goodness! What a treat!

WHY DID I title this episode Breathe?

No one taught you and I how to breathe.

Supposing you were given all that you desire in an instant but you were told you will not open your eyes again, or breathe again, would you still accept it?

You see, there is a gift in the challenges we may be going through. It fosters our growth and transformation. It gives us something to work at, to expand to, and from personal experience, I can assure you how exhilarating life looks and feels when you come to the end of a transformational journey.

So just breathe! Take it all in and release what does not serve you with the exhale.

Much love.

Yes! It is About YOU!...

Fri, 12 May 2023 13:00:00 -0400

I have talked about distractions in the past and the many different ways that we get distracted from our paths and journeys of love. If you think about it, and all the people you know in your life, destructive criticisms come from just a handful of people, yet they seem so “loud,” it can make you feel like everyone else is against you. After a while, you become sensitized to their noises, and you begin to "forget" about all the other people who truly love you. You also begin to forget about who you truly are.

How would you go about changing the tide?

I will give you a few tips....

Do Self-Love Right Now!

Fri, 28 Apr 2023 13:00:00 -0400

This episode is a meditation for self-love. It is important to allow the natural love for ourselves to be expressed, and we must make a concerted effort to reveal it’s beauty very often throughout each day of our lives.

Our ability to breathe at will, in all different kinds of ways, is a gift. Our breath changes, as needed to the demand of exciting circumstances in our lives and flowing effortlessly when we are resting. Let’s use the power of our amazing visualization abilities to induce self love.

Hear yourself saying:

When I fully love myself, I am able to fully love others.

Deciding to love myself is a wonderful agreement.

There's more...

Many blessings!

Simple Wisdom for Women Desiring Greatness!

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 13:00:00 -0400

In my readings recently, I came across simple wisdom for women desiring greatness and I find it pertinent to share. We all desire greatness in some shape or form. Knowing some of these simple steps can clear the path to achieving our ultimate goals. I talk about being unpredictable as one of the steps so I urge you to listen to the end and pull all the steps together..

I express the sentiment always that the only way we can have the highest wisdom is by connecting and interacting with Source, hopefully not as an afterthought. It must be like breathing.

Many blessings!

Things that Make You Say Ah!

Fri, 31 Mar 2023 13:00:00 -0400

I was just up Santa Fe New Mexico and we were surrounded by snow capped mountains and it was just spectacular! And the beauty of all around just made me gasp. Just made me say ah!

And then I thought we are always surrounded by such beauty and how many times do we stop and notice? Or stop and look, or to take it all in; give it some thought or love for having the opportunity to experience something that magical?

These mesmerizing moments show us how much emphasis we may putting on things that are less important than what our spiritual nature needs. I say this because these moments cannot be replicated by humans, and you do not have to have money to be exposed to it.

The universe endows us with such beauty all around us all year long. When do we stop to smell the roses? When was the last time you smelled the earth as it rained? When did you pause to possibly take a nap under a tree, feel the gentle breeze on your face or step into the ocean and just feel the wet sand under your feet?

Some folks might say or ask who has time? I would say make time. Because every moment you are missing noticing, being present with these universal gifts, is the very time you become disconnected with your own essence as a spiritual being, your own ability to center yourself and to bring balance to your experiences.

As a woman of power and grace, it’s important to recognize that you are the daughter of the most High One. And there’s absolutely nothing denied you if you take the time to make the the connection. And what’s even more gratifying is, your uniqueness, beauty and sensibilities are the very things God uses to experience this life through your eyes.

Make it count.

Many blessings and I will see you in a couple of weeks.

Who Are You Being Today?

Fri, 17 Mar 2023 13:00:00 -0400

We can all agree that we can have multiple personalities that are a direct result of our life experiences and the roles we play. We may have experienced some woundedness on this journey we call life. Oftentimes, we are not able to give a step by step detail of how we got through some of those experiences. The fact that we are alive today is proof that we experienced miracles by grace. Some of these miracles cannot be framed into a story, but they happened nevertheless.

With this in mind, we could shift focus from the pain of those experiences that made us bitter, sad or disappointed to being warm, pleasant, hospitable, generous, inspiring, optimists, kind, gracious, and loving.

The transition from bitterness to sweetness depends on how we see our universe. We can make light of our circumstances only if we have faith that all good, all love comes from the Source, and no matter what is going on in our external world, we are assured that light supersedes darkness; that the sun will always rise from the east and set in the west. These assurances and the divine order of things are grounds to lay down the burdens we bear and just enjoy the blessing of life and the new seasons.

Happy Spring Equinox!

Part 2: Developing a Reflective Routine for Inner Growth

Fri, 03 Mar 2023 13:00:00 -0400

I am immensely grateful because our tribe of women of power and grace, will always be open to reaching a hand to someone else who needs our insight so they may step fully into the goddess energy in and around us.

In working with reflective questions, we must remember that every question takes us on a quest—a quest for truth, for authenticity, and finding our unique ways of expression. In Part 2, we review the paths of the Visionary and Teacher.

The visionary and teacher impress upon us to have the ability to connect to our inner vision and be open to outcome. Happy Listening!

Developing a Reflective Routine for Inner Growth!

Fri, 17 Feb 2023 13:00:00 -0400

This week, our conversation is about reflection and developing a reflective routine to enhance our inner work and growth. I integrate the first two of four archetypal ways that support our true nature--the way of the warrior, the way of the healer.

You will find reflective processes in all spiritual traditions, and they are intended to be a means of preparation, help us remember our life’s dreams, our purpose or calling, and for the sole reason of staying connected to the great gift of life.

In my coaching with clients, I pose reflective questions weekly for participants to enable them to engage their own thought processes and reveal some of the issues in their blind spots, as well as become cognizant of some life situations that may be getting in the way of yielding to their hearts calling.

I am including a link below, where you can subscribe to the weekly reflective questions. I look forward to seeing you in the platform and in two weeks here.

Forgiveness: Unburdening Ourselves from the Past.

Fri, 03 Feb 2023 13:00:00 -0400

We have all heard about the importance of forgiveness and the role it plays in our healing, spiritual development and growth. This is a topic you will encounter in every spiritual practice or avenue you embark on.

When we feel wronged by another, we tend to hold the pain, disappointment or wounded- ness in our bodies, hearts and minds for a long, long time. We even often cycle through this pain, talking about it often, re-member-ing or reliving the pain sometimes, for years and years.

It is imperative that we find a mechanism or channel to release old hurts. The act of forgiveness relinquishes the holds others have on us either energetically and in our physical space. It is never about having power over someone.

Please, as alway, share your thoughts and comments.

Curbing Distractions on Life's Journey

Fri, 20 Jan 2023 13:00:00 -0400

Our conversation on keeping life simple in 2023 continues, and our first focus is on how to curb distractions in our lives--people and things that interfere with our peace of mind, and move us away from our inner perspectives and quietude.

We are all on a spiritual journey, whether we acknowledge it, know it or not. We all are presented equal opportunities by grace to formulate the lives that we desire for ourselves. We must incorporate the universal principles of individuation and relatedness to balance the inequities in society and our lives.

Keeping Life Simple in 2023!

Fri, 06 Jan 2023 13:00:00 -0400

We just entered a new year, and our cultural or societal tradition is to come up with goals, and a long list of things we want to accomplish or change in this year.

Creating a vision for ourselves requires an inward look, and as a practical experience unfolds, we may have to embrace ourselves in the midst of uncertainty and find our truth. We women have been conditioned to be strong and most of us have the superwoman complex.

We often don't find the strength to say no to the very things we know our hearts want us to say no to.

This is going to be our Mantra for this year:

"Yes, I am not all things but I am enough."

Happy New Year

Keep Life Simple in 2023.

Doing the Inner Work for the New Journey in 2023

Fri, 23 Dec 2022 13:00:00 -0400

We are heading into the new year and I want to share some thoughts on doing the inner work and how it leads to new journeys and paths. I use the number 7 (seven) to demonstrate the universal themes in our reality that shapes our spiritual and material growth.

We live in a universe that is in a continuous creation mode, and we are in vibration mode constantly. We must therefore attune to the 7 portals of inner life: Mental peace, Emotional peace, Intuitive peace, Physical peace, Personal peace, Cultural peace and Global peace. And we can experience this all of it by doing the inner work.

Self-Healing Principles and Techniques That Work!

Fri, 16 Dec 2022 13:00:00 -0400

Our topic this week is about universal healing principles. There are several universal healing principles and processes that are easily recognized across cultures, and I want to discuss how we can integrate a few of them to sustain health and well-being.

I share thoughts on recognizing Humor, Music, Self Esteem, Nature, and the Supernatural as forming parts of our inner and outer healing.

When we process these universal healing principles, and integrate a spiritual practice, we would balance life issues that lead to self-healing and transformation. To empower our respective journeys as women, we must open and integrate a worldview that allows physical healing, psychological problem solving, and exploration of spiritual or sacred ways of being.

Understanding the Seven Rites of Passage for Inner Transformation

Fri, 02 Dec 2022 13:00:00 -0400

Hello my dear Friends,

This episode's focus is on the Seven Rites of Passage or the Seven Universal Rites of Passage, which is taking place all the time in our lives. They occur in both inner and outer levels and we have to manage the changes occurring, letting go as new self emerges. The seven rites are:

Birth - entering into a new life, born out of inner prodding.
Entry - reaching out and connecting with others.
Initiation - learning new things.
Mergence - integrating, remembering that you can only change you.
Demonstration - sharing what you know, when you become the teacher or guide.
Attainment - living in a new state of being-ness.
Death or Release - the capacity to let go.

There are several questions posed after each rite of passage to generate some reflection. These questions and process have helped me in the past and hope they do the same for you.

I am always grateful for your presence, participation and review. I need you to please share the podcast, subscribe to my channels so we can grow together. Thank you!

Acknowledging The Feminine Face of the Divine

Fri, 18 Nov 2022 13:00:00 -0400

Acknowledging the Feminine Face of the Divine

This episode is about facilitating women’s empowerment groups with the sole goal of bringing women together to share our experiences and find the commonalities in our stories, as well as support each other in the challenges we face. As a facilitator, I can attest to the growth we all experience at the end of the seven-week conversations. We bonded, with our identities fully expressed spiritually, ceremoniously, using music, song, meditation, drums and an exciting array of food, and desserts! Our sense of self is identified in the everyday experiences of our lives and for me, the spiritual component must be present to enable us to connect deeply to who we truly are.

It is imperative to recognize that the stories of our lives, yours and mine, are teaching stories that can and directly lead to an enriched understanding of the Sacred Feminine. It is pertinent to also acknowledge that all the stuff of life is part of the sacred.

Thanks again for joining me. Your support makes me feel gratified.

Embodying Praise: Sacred and Authentic Movements

Fri, 04 Nov 2022 13:00:00 -0400

We have a saying in many communities in Africa that says that "if you can talk, you can sing; and if you can walk, you can dance." This episode's focus in on Embodying Praise through dancing, and movement. It is one of my favorite sayings because it tells us that we have been gifted with an instrument of great Spirit to experience life. When we lose body wisdom, we lose the opportunity to dance and praise or celebrate the sacred.

In native and indigenous cultures, the word sacred is embodied and it is manifest in many forms, including movement. One of the main functions of movement in some of these traditions is to honor the earth, life and ancestors. It also is a medium to preserve sacred practices and ritual, universal wisdom and values. The drum or drumming is an integral part of rhythmic movement.

I have seen a few women perform dances from various traditions and I want to share my thoughts and wisdom on the experience, as part of the conversation with women of power and grace.

The dancers mentioned are:

Jill Guillermo Togawa who founded Purple Moon in San Francisco. She used dance to shine light on stories from less visible communities.
Wyoma - Teacher of African Healing Dances
Loretta Green - Specializes on Liturgical Dance Routines.

Other dances mentioned are:

The "Sowu" a tribal dance performed by the Ewe people of Ghana, Togo and Benin and the Suku from the Congo. This dance is a healing dance and it is often referred to as the ‘dance of life.’
The "Suku" represents the passion and sensual aspects of African dancing so well.

We understand nature and the word sacred means many things to different people but there are some common denominators in its meaning. It is the recognition of the power in self, because it is what frees us to be present in our lives daily and what allows us to feel comfortable enough to step out into the world to share our gifts within our communities and the world.

Happy dancing!

Celebrating Life in the Moment! "Only Happy People Can Make a Happy World".

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I talk about celebrating life in the moment. When you listen to the news, especially these days, you can’t help but feel gloomy. You are told the world is coming to an end and everything in our experience is atrocious. But then you look again, and there are beautiful moments all day long that we can celebrate, with our families, friends and even acquaintances. We still have sunrise and sunsets, we still have clouds, rainbows, rain, food, et cetera. Let's be happy for whatever seems little. It is still something!

Reflection with Article by René Dubos, Pulitzer Prize Winner : "Celebrations of Life."

I came across the reflections on this topic by René Dubos, which seem to be on point. In humanistic societies, empathy, building better human relationships, focus on the relationships between nature and technology are emphasized.

“Happiness is contagious. For this reason, it's expression is a social service and almost a duty. … Only happy people can make a happy world.

We must remember life begins anew with each sunrise."

Cultivating a Spiritual Practice with Love!

Fri, 07 Oct 2022 13:00:00 -0400

Spiritual Practice connects us to our Source and sustains us through our challenges.

Let us Journey on, putting one foot in front of the other!

I love poetry! So I chose love and poetry for the theme to reflect on the various transformations we on or may still be on. It seems some of us are still going through some type of transformation, and there may be a myriad of changes that we have to come into alignment with to create balance. My change has aligned more with Pablo Neruda’s poem La Poesia (1975), in which he states that there comes a time in one’s life where one must yield to the soul’s yearnings and step into a path that fulfills a deeper longing.

It is natural that even when we are at this stage of development and fulfillment, we tend to overanalyze the choice(s) we have made when challenges appear. But taking a daring step towards being oneself has heart, and there is hope and inspiration in this phase of the journey.

We already possess, in the recesses of our minds and spirit, the skills, understanding, and love to accomplish that goal. So what has love got to do with this? My answer is everything!

It is through love that we find freedom and fulfillment. It is tangible and measurable. As we embrace our journeys of love, we are required to recognize our own power, presence, and our ability to make choices that cultivate the practice of unconditional love for all that we have been.

Being a Queen in Your Own Life: A Reflection.

Fri, 23 Sep 2022 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I am integrating what seemingly is going on in the outer world with Queen Elizabeth’s passing and Holding the Holy Vision of the Feminine conversations that we have discussed in a couple of previous episodes. And the topic I am addressing is: how are we being queens in our lives? I am in a private conversation with my soul sisters in a different group and I thought it appropriate to extend this conversation to all my listeners, where each woman can really take a moment to dissect and incorporate their own ideas about what it means to be a queen in their own lives.

Some reflective questions:

What type of queen are you?
What type of queen would you like to be?

As always, your comments, feedback are welcome.

Celebrating the Sacred and the Ordinary in Becoming Woman!

Fri, 09 Sep 2022 13:00:00 -0400

Celebrating the Sacred and the Ordinary in Becoming Woman is about our first initiation into womanhood and how we felt about it. There are three stages in a woman's life--the virgin, mother and crone. The embodiment of each stage is pertinent to how we feel about ourselves in the present. We go through these rites of passage either appreciating them as sacred moments or dismissing them as ordinary. In understanding the Holy Vision of the Feminine, it is important to revisit the first rite of passage, or first initiation into womanhood, examine managed the process. We all have stories to tell about our first menstruation. It still informs how we feel about our femininity. It may have been quite a while ago, but it is important for mothers to sit and talk to their daughters (age appropriate) about the first initiation and celebrate it in a way that honors this important step. It is important because the first menstruation is the "first major crisis in the life of a woman. It shocks her radically."

I share my story, ending with writing a letter of initiation to myself. This inner work--if you choose to do it-- would allow you to dispel any misconceptions about womanhood and expand your awareness and embodiment of the different stages within. The exercise enabled me to let go of old stories, being a girl, and appreciating my body even more.

As always, your comments, feedback are welcome.

Understanding and Holding the Holy Vision of the Feminine Within!

Fri, 26 Aug 2022 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I discuss the Holy Vision of the Feminine Within. If we look at the conditions women continue to live all over the world, we recognize that there had been a deliberate erosion of feminine images (example the Orisha goddesses) that showcased strength as in the daughters of the ancient mothers Yemoja, Osun and Oya who came to the earth to awaken and refine qualities of nurturance and strength (Yemoja); beauty and Love (Osun) power and passion (Oya).

I discuss all forms of violence against women, including rape and how that experience impact body armoring, sexuality and intimacy in relationships. I do relate to these experiences and encourage women who have endured pain and suffering to share their unique and healing stories. It is through storytelling that we may be able to reach out and alleviate hardships some women still experience in the world.

We do hold the holy vision of the feminine within, and we must relate to the regal, beautiful, gentle, passionate and wise matriarch of this earth. We must recognize the life force of a woman and believe that each one can find love, peace, joy, and growth in our life experiences. Through this recognition, , we can start sowing the seed to passing down the myth of the ancient mothers comprising love, beauty, grace, strength, power and passion. These were the gifts of Yemoja, Osun and Oya. Through them, we learn about the goddess in all women, nature and the promise to tap deep within, rise and reclaim our birthright individually and collectively.

As always, your thoughts and comments are welcome.

Writing a Hymn of Praise to Yourself and Your Gifts - A Direct Conversation with You!

Fri, 29 Jul 2022 13:00:00 -0400

I feel called to have a direct conversation with you and share inner processes that would enhance our well being. We are all on a spiritual journey, and we may ask "what is a journey?" It is a metaphor for one's life. So how are you handling life?

This episode highlights the real journey and the metaphors for transformation.

Are you moving into new beginnings?
Are you in the clearing process of endings?
Who is the making the journey difficult?
How are you handling detours, contentment?
Who are your greatest teachers?
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Here's the assignment:

“..Write a Hymn of praise to yourself and your gifts. You are glorifying the divine, immanent within your own body. Have mercy on yourself and give praise that you were created in the image of the most holy.”

To create a vision and stand in your truth, you may have to have an internal dialogue regarding all the rules you may have imposed on yourself that deny you your full expression and potential. Accept what is (even though it may be difficult to do) and allow the inner light to shine through.

(Ref: Angeles Arrien)

Special Episode: Living by Grace in a Period of Uncertainty.

Fri, 15 Jul 2022 13:00:00 -0400

I just visited Ghana, my place of birth. It is obvious that there are stark differences between what is valued in Ghana and America—differences about wealth, health, happiness, love, success, prosperity and money. I will address these in future podcasts with guests.

Living by grace is a beautiful concept because it lessens the pressure we put on ourselves, ultimately allowing room to live joyfully, especially during periods of uncertainty.

As I continue my travels, I hope to share insights and wisdom to facilitate our wellbeing — together as divine beings on this planet.

Special Episode: Moving through the Seven Mansions of Wisdom, Power and Grace.

Fri, 01 Jul 2022 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I take a position on the recent Supreme Court decision in reversing Roe vs. Wade. My focus, however, was not to get entrenched in the political persuasions of the day, but rather to highlight a spiritual path of wisdom, which Saint Teresa of Avila, a mystical theologian used to reorganize her Order. She speaks of the dignity of each soul in grace, and shows a path one can follow to uplift that dignity.

I note also that a matriarch’s embodiment of spiritual knowledge, wisdom, and dignity is based on three distinct understandings:

The physical changes in her body- menstruation, sexuality, pregnancy, lactation, menopause;
Confronting/responding to challenges and still shine in our wisdom and spirituality; and
Contemplating the Divine Source and allowing, accepting the expressions of her own life experiences as truth.

A reflection on the spiritual journeys of our mothers brings to mind all the women elders—who set a dignified tone for all to emulate. Their lives and generosity of spirit provide the grounding and nurturing needed to ensure the endowment of wisdom that permeates many dimensions.

We can win this new battle....

Special Episode: Creating a Sacred Space for the Goddess in You!

Fri, 17 Jun 2022 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I referenced the importance of relating to sacred images of the feminine and highlighted images of powerful women in history who could influence our dispositions, especially weary ones. If we created a sacred space, where we could commune daily with our powerful inner selves, we will realize that there is nothing we cannot do or be. We have work to do to save this planet, and we implement the changes we need only via spiritual strength. If we are spiritually strong, we can subsequently change the outer world. Creating a sacred space allows us to heal old wound, and build strength for the journey(s) ahead.

Happy listening!

Donna Hylton is a technology professional and community leader with over 30 years of experience. Donna began her technology career in college while working as a Data Center Coordinator in New York City.

Special Episode: If You Had One Day to Live...

Fri, 22 Apr 2022 13:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I share some thoughts with you about losing loved ones, especially suddenly like 9/11 or other similar situations. There's has been so much tension in our world, transitioning from Covid, as well as globally. There are several conflicts, some making the news and others not. War, in my opinion, is not waged only by physical violence but it is reflected in the environment, our words, our attitudes towards each other.

I ask some reflective questions, including what you'd do differently if you had one day to live. This is to shed light on this transient journey we are on and what our vision is for ourselves and for the world.

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Conversation with Shilpa Ahuja on Acknowledging the Power of a Woman

Fri, 08 Apr 2022 13:00:00 -0400

Shilpa Ahuja is a daughter, wife, mom, entrepreneur, and world traveler. She was born in India, raised in Oman, studied Architecture in London and got married in India, and came to the United States.

She started her career in various Architectural firms where she gained a wealth of experience in commercial retail design, creating prototypical building sets for state-of-the-art Gyms, shopping centers, and retail outfits. Her design philosophy has been that an Architect resides within all of us, it’s her job as an Architect to extract the ideas from a client and transfer that into formulating a good, functional, budget-friendly space. During Shilpa's stint as an Architect, she worked with this Spa brand called Massage Envy to design their franchise locations in CT. In 2010, she and her husband were looking to do more with their lives, looking for a challenge, since she was designing Massage Envy, they were able to get some great insight from these owners, their backgrounds, and how they started their business and that led them into becoming Massage Envy franchisees. They now own 2 locations in CT. They have both been hands-on in the business and have built a wonderful team that is now running the locations, giving them time to develop and pursue new business opportunities, and the diversification of business and investment portfolios.

When Shilpa's daughter decided to go to Florida State University in 2021 they followed, and relocated their home base to Florida and are in the process of developing four locations of The Joint - Chiropractic Place in Tampa, Florida.

Shilpa's ultimate spiritual goal in life is to be one with God. In Hinduism, we believe that A human being is not merely a body made from flesh and blood. There is the presence of a divine spirit which is generally known as SOUL (ATMA) or SELF which is a smaller part of the supreme being, God. At the end of life, this soul wants to go meet and be one with the All-mighty. This is called Moksha, being one with God! To achieve this goal, she lives her life by practicing to be a good human being, by living a conscious life, practicing mindfulness, being positive, and being grateful for everything I have been blessed with.

Our conversation focuses on:

- Sharing our beautiful stories

- The architect in all of us

- Recognizing strengths in our partnerships

- Being a good human

- The legacy of our parents

- Women exemplars

And much more...

Dr. Dorothy Martin-Neville is an Executive Leadership Coach, an international speaker and author of eight books.

She addresses the issues that exist for all of us who are trying to please everyone, who are striving to be near-perfect, or who are the over-achievers. In working with Executive Women, Dorothy has seen how powerful women have unique ways of doing self-betrayal, in giving their power away.

We talk about mindset, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, relationships, leadership, women's empowerment and the courage to living a life of our dreams. She notes: "The grace comes when we lovingly transform ourselves.... and claim our presence."

Conversation with Julienne Ryan on Authentic Communication & "Story-Tourism"

Fri, 22 Oct 2021 13:00:00 -0400

Julienne B. Ryan is a Humorist | Keynote Storytelling Speaker |Trainer, Facilitator, Coach. She began her professional career at age five when she did TV commercials and learned important things like “the teamsters always eat first,” her social security number and how to endorse checks for bank deposit.

Ryan studied psychology in college because she wanted to understand humans. She conducted her “field work” in a variety of roles, hearing the phrases “merger synergies, reorganizations, downsizing and rightsizing for change” more times than she cares to mention.

Later she enrolled in an Ivy League graduate school where she paid oodles of money to validate her prior on-the-job learning experiences. However, she did learn to name drop up-to-date theories and trendy psychologists with alarming ease.

Ryan evolved into working in “Talent Management,” a fancy way of saying “try to find people and keep them moderately happy.” With inadequate budgets and staff allocations, she had to find creative ways to encourage her staff to work effectively. These ranged from begging and borrowing resources, improvising childcare, telling stories and even giving snacks as rewards. She tried to convince herself that working a bazillion hours and “multi-tasking” equaled achievement.

Her work took place in cubicles, conference rooms or, with luck, in offices with a door. Occasionally she would make the time to emerge from her allotted real estate to really talk to people. Ryan learned something transformative in the process:

Some Highlights:

Being real in our communication with ourselves and others
Story-telling and its impact in our communications
Heart-to-heart connections
Diversity & Inclusion
Story-tourism

And much more.

Living life as a spiritual being having a human experience
Understanding our relationship with Nature

And much more...
