and so it is the podcast 2uc72

serendipitous timing brought Awa and I together for dinner together one night and after a few ts and some philosophical questions later,, decided to record and share our discoveries on an episode ... key points:  ~ be more concerned about how you see yourself.  ~ learn how to receive from others; in relationships, with your partner, at work. you deserve to be taken care of.  ~ lean into vulnerability because, well, that is the journey that is life, right?  ~ don't be afraid to share the depths of who you are **with the right people who deserve you. ~ (!!) and before you do that, ask yourself with a pen and journal; who are you? really?? without the expectations and labels... ponder it with a lot of love. love YOU, mean it.

a friendly reminder, breakdowns will always usher in a breakthrough. So, after being forced to feel through it this week, I’ve come to these conclusions…  embracing life as an experiment empowers the grace you have for yourself. taking yourself less seriously will help with that.  “you can’t hate yourself into a version you love”. not knowing what you’re doing gives you grace to be curious and find it out without pressure. follow the breadcrumbs of what makes your heart feel whole life is chaotic enough without believing the bullshit that makes us disempowered.  reconnecting with your childhood curiosity allows you to expand as an adult. If you too don’t know how to act these days, it’s okay to not be okay. you’re not ‘weak’ for feeling anything you’re feeling. love you, mean it. ♡ --- this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andsoitispodcast/

Learning to live within your womb's seasons is a radical act of self-love. It is a practice that living by, reminds you of your innate power as you move through life from your body. In this juicy episode, I have the privilege to chat with Rebecca, mama to the incredible community ⁠@blumewomb⁠. Her work reminds us, as women & someone with a 28-day cycle, that our divine right is to exist in our power. We discuss how slowing down and releasing survival mode allows you to feel the safety of your feminine, what tapping into your soft nature feels like as an unfamiliar territory, and how to start honoring your intuitive nature through how your body changes month-to-month. Dive deeper into Rebecca's work and see how her offerings can align with you ⁠here⁠. --- this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andsoitisthepodcast/

ponder this .. what would it look like if you let yourself change your mind? --- this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andsoitisthepodcast/

think about it, a caterpillar doesn’t stop the process of its chrysalis because it fears transformation and change... It is our beautiful, silly, funny brains that need to label and thus convince us to fear the unknown *cue the overthinking*. yes, sometimes it’s scary to listen to your intuition. deciding to leave your safe job, relationship, home, etc. to pursue contentment because there’s a voice telling you that whatever was once working well, isn’t hitting the same anymore - and that is OK!  this episode explores the concept of fear and excitement being the same emotion, and rationalizing how to help ourselves out and through with these mindset shifts. love you, mean it. --- this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andsoitisthepodcast/

so you get to the place you thought you wanted to be in; the job, the lover, the apt, the title, etc. and at some point along the way, your reality is not how you imagined it would feel... it’s easy when we ( I ) convince ourselves ( myself ) that once we have ___ and ___, our healing journey expands from love with butterflies while the rest of our struggles, anxieties, and worries slowly and seamlessly fall away. throughout this season of ~realizing things, I’ve discovered on a profound level the importance of aligned soul-filled friendships that encourage and love every version of you. the ones who you in your struggles just as much as your accomplishments, and by their presence, teach you that you do not have to heal alone. all this juicy healing and more in today’s episode (◡‿◡✿)  --- this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andsoitisthepodcast/

one of the first nice spring day’s prompted my reflection about the intimate demolition that’s been unfolding for me this winter and the shadows I’ve been learning to befriend; with addiction, with myself, with people pleasing and  with boundaries.  ironically, itting and acting on what we don’t want to acknowledge is *~`literally*`~ the key to unlocking the window of opportunity that will bring us through to the other side of healing…  it’s not all going to unfold over night but the consistent love & patience that we can give to ourselves is what will get us there, one step at a time. <3 --- this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andsoitisthepodcast/

as if Katrina couldn't get cooler as the Miami IT girl, she leads life from a place of showing up authentically and honestly despite our universal human nature of limiting thoughts & imposter syndrome that WE ALL can relate to…  In the process of alchemizing her trauma and getting deep with shadow work, @simplykatipoo was born from the loving labor of inner work and navigating the darker parts of our experiences that mentally keep us stuck in deprecating cycles. this raw chat hit home for me and my hope is we that we don’t have to be ashamed of our past , put ourselves into any boxes or take sh!t into the future with us. it's the gentle, conscious and loving awareness that you can give yourself to release it and move forward a little lighter.

there’s been a lot going on behind the scenes in my life.. and maybe for you too??  lots of shadows coming up to be released. old patterns, lovers and lessons resurfacing to see if I have learned from the previous time they were present. its no walk in the park (lol) and takes a LOT of patience and tenderness with ourselves…it’s healthy to feel to heal.  to take things one step at a time, and if that’s too much then take it a moment at a time.  ⋆⭒˚𖦹｡⋆this is my reminder to you to be gentle with yourself, your heart and to be kind to your mind. ༝༚༝༚ ୨ৎ⋆˚｡⋆ --- this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andsoitisthepodcast/

/ˈlīfˌhak/  a simple, clever tip or technique that makes it easier and more efficient to do a familiar task... such as when posed with a question & asking yourself "Does this job or project align with me?" or "Do I want to go out with ___ tonight?" then simply waiting for your body to physically react and give you a response. Being vulnerable and learning to trust yourself through the cultivation of that innate discernment is what will align you with your higher self and better-evolved version, that is a promise. --- this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andsoitisthepodcast/

In this episode, Queen Djenabé of @aquarius.mood⁠ sheds light for those of us who also believed we need to know it all and have our sh*t together before our 30th birthday. We chat the intentionality of turning inwards to focus the energy on ourselves and heal those parts that no longer align with us. we are meant to change along the way, shed pieces to refine and sculpt our best selves. Most importantly, it is one to be ired. take your time and let it break you open, raw and vulnerably, to heal your heart... the truth is this. there’s no rush. no race and no set finale that we know of. now is our time to experiment and figure out what we don’t like in an effort to get closer to what it is that we do. <3 --- this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andsoitisthepodcast/
