Are you ready for an inspiring spiritual journey, one that could redefine your life's purpose? Our guest this week, a born teacher who's navigated a labyrinth of spiritual practices and career paths, lays bare her life’s journey and how she finally embraced her spiritual gifts. Raised in a strict Christian household, she had to learn to hide these gifts. But now, she openly leads a life centered around spirituality and serves as a voice for BIPOC in the spiritual community.
The conversation moves fluidly from the dynamics between religion and spirituality to the concept of life's purpose. As the guest's life has been shaped by spirituality, she takes us through her variety of roles and experiences on her way to becoming a teacher, a role she sees as her true calling. We also delve into joy's unique individuality, where each person defines and owns their joy in different ways, and discuss our collective obligation to respect this individuality.
We close our discussion with a poignant conversation about the decolonization of language around spirituality and life purpose. Addressing the cultural bias and misconceptions surrounding the concept of life purpose, we discuss how the dominant culture often devalues periods of life without a specific purpose. We leave you with a promise - a promise to continue having these thought-provoking conversations around personal joy, spirituality, and life purpose, inviting you to join us on this enlightening journey.

From the depths of our hearts, we invite you along on a transformative journey exploring the intricate intersection of sexuality and spirituality.
What if we told you that the imposter syndrome you're fighting is deeply rooted in systemic oppression and skewed societal narratives? We tackle these difficult issues, emphasizing the dire need for authenticity and honest representation.
We then navigate the beautiful maze of love languages and attraction. Personal experiences and preferences are shared, as we discuss the attractiveness of qualities such as drive and revolution. We transition from love for others to self-love, manifestation, and authenticity, showcasing the importance of knowing oneself and holding space for others.
We encourage everyone to embrace their sexuality and love themselves unconditionally, to start the new year with an abundance of love and self-love. Join us on this journey of liberation, empowerment, and authenticity.

What if you could glimpse beyond the veil of mortality to find a deeper understanding of existence? What if you could shift your perspective on death, and in doing so, uncover a more profound appreciation for life? This episode takes you on a journey through time and perception as we explore the intricate dimensions of death.
We often perceive death as the end of the line, a destination that we all reach, but what if we thought of it as a cycle, a process of constant departure and return? We discuss the compelling concept of reincarnation, a continual cycle of endings and beginnings. As we delve deeper, we dissect the concept of 'dying of self', where the ego vanishes to make space for new experiences, leading to a transformative liberation. This isn't solely a dissection of death; it's a celebration of the life we lead, an exploration of how our cultural heritage shapes our perception of life and death.
This episode doesn't shy away from the stark realities of life. We touch upon the harsh experiences of racism, the impacts of which can be felt even in moments of joy. In the midst of all the pain, we find resilience, born out of collective and individual trauma, and the power it holds. We also discuss the magical power of surrender, of letting ourselves be present in moments of joy and grief. We conclude by reflecting on the ever-evolving journey of spiritual growth, the rebirth and changes it brings, and the importance of accepting these changes with an open heart. This episode is a deep dive into the cyclic nature of human existence and a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit.

Join us as we question the norm and discuss the complexities of healing and self-discovery, unraveling the influences of society, past lives, and familial ties. We share our struggles with recognizing our own journeys and the power of setting an intention to heal, even for external reasons. This conversation intricately peels back the layers on how societal ideals of perfection and spiritual bankruptcy can impact your journey.
Diving deeper into the healing process, we discuss the unique challenges faced by Black and Brown communities. We uncover the pain that often goes unaddressed and the implications of dominant culture on healing. Questioning the colonization of the healing process, we explore the myth of miraculous healing and the significance of allowing ourselves to grieve. We shed light on systemic oppression and its impact on healing, discussing the historical implications of redlining on Black and Brown communities.
In the midst of life's complexities, we speak to finding joy - from the small everyday moments to the bigger decisions that define our paths. We delve into our experiences with grief, expressing its surprising capability to bring both sorrow and joy. In our quest for spiritual healing, we emphasize the importance of setting boundaries, trusting ourselves, and finding our own path. This conversation is rich, empathetic, and offers practical tips for spiritual healing and self-care. So, tune in and join us on this beautiful journey of self-discovery.
