Putting the Good in Goodbye.

Putting the Good in Goodbye.

In this episode, I reflect on the past four years of podcasting and share an intimate view on what lies ahead for me on this journey. I began here within a month of our "Stay at Home" orders in 2020 and an astonishing 4 years later, my life has completely changed. I have completely changed.

Diversity, Equity + Inclusion.

Diversity, Equity + Inclusion.

In this episode, we are on the equity train and headed somewhere real. How many orgs and businesses you know now have a Diversity Officer or DEI consultant these days? How much do you believe that person can lift on their own? Not as much if they had more hands. So then we have to wonder why so many of us don’t want to touch the hot topic of equity, inclusion and justice…PLUS the anti-burnout method that has worked for me.

Bullying & Modern Day Slavery.

Bullying & Modern Day Slavery.

In this episode, I tackle a hard subject that felt urgent and timely to speak on NOW. I for one, am tired of hearing heartbreaking testimonies of people that have been bullied, abused, teased, tormented, tortured or no longer with us at the hands of people deeply wounded and unhappy in their own lives. Enough is enough. Tune in to sit with me in circle and let’s get curious on how to make sovereignty the new normal.

Initiation into...then Leaving, IFA.

Initiation into...then Leaving, IFA.

In this episode, I share about my experience as an Ifa initiate, something that I once thought would bring me in more alignment with my ancestors and with God. While I am no longer associated with the “ile” (Yoruba for house or family) I discuss in this episode, or with Ifa, do listen while remembering that this is my story and my experience may not resonate for everyone. As a life path 7, I have dedicated alot of my time researching and exploring my roots, religion, spirituality and the relationships that run through all three. Ultimately, I was pushed toward my truth and remembering my sovereignty. May you find something fulfilling in this one.

Beautiful Work is BADASS ft. Jenn Urso

Beautiful Work is BADASS ft. Jenn Urso

(Part of "On the Road Episode" Mini-Series)

In this episode, I bring international coach and mentor, Jenn Urso to the sanctuary for storytelling and illuminating exchange! In Jenn's own words, "I used to have a complicated relationship with joy. I thought it was something I was supposed to feel or experience outside of Monday-Friday, 9-5. Until I knew that wasn't the life for me. So I packed up, resigned, had my own version of Eat Pray Love (except mine included ayahuasca, walking 500 miles and some boundary-pushing retreats in India). On the other side of that, I had a new mission: to help professionals move their work lives from bearable to beautiful. To help them integrate their career and life aspirations, so they co-exist vs competing for space and time, and create work lives that feel more nourishing while supporting their career climb. To help knowledge workers experience more joy, even inside their 9-5. Professionals love to work; it's in our DNA. And...we can become imbalanced and have leaky boundaries, allowing our work to manage us rather than managing it. The result is a drained, disillusioned, restless professional in pain, trying to find the way back to more balance, control and time for living." 

As 2022 unfolds, you can catch Jenn serving as a coach and mentor for professionals in pain who want to find a more regenerative way to live and work. With a deep expertise of the beauty and the pain of business life, she wants professionals to live their best lives now, within their 9-5, and beyond. Is this you? Jenn will helps you to find more freedom and peace within your work life and beyond so work and life co-exist rather than compete for time and energy.

(Part of "On the Road Episode" Mini-Series)

In this episode, I RETURN (but don't call it comeback!) in more ways than one. We are just about to hit the halfway mark with Season 3 so I thought it would be a good time to come back on and ground us back down into what we're up to here at Sojourn of Light + House of SOLEIL anyways and share a snippet from my journey. This time and moment that we're in collectively is so POTENT for new beginnings to enter our lives at the speed, sound or force of light. For me, one of those things has been becoming a published author. My book How to Heal the Planet from Wherever You Are: Leaning Into the Cosmic + Planetary Link Between Ancestral Healing, Collective Liberation + Creative Entrepreneurship is NOW out in the world serving us all as a community playbook, my memoir and an activator for the Earth service work needed for global cleanup, waste reduction and land + water preservation. Here is a sneak preview, the last 15 minutes of my recent interview with Lyn Rose-Grayson of Strange Fruit Zine where I talk about my book, what we can all get busy doing for healing right now and ways to keep building community with me along the way. Make sure you're subscribed to get notified on when the full interviews drop!

In this episode, I bring intuitive astrologer and movement artist, Virginia Rosenberg to the sanctuary for storytelling and cultural exchange! Together, we explore the some of the meanings of the planets, Virgina's early days of divination at childhood birth parties and the joys that supportive parents bring to quirky kids like us. I had the honor of meeting Virginia as a fellow participant in Building Bridges of Asheville, a racial equity training and educational workshop that has been rooted in Western NC for over 20 years. Everything that Virginia does has her unique vibration of decolonization, social change and equanimity with a quiet, but undeniable power. As Virginia continues to expand her world with motherhood and a growing global reach, we can all learn from her modeling of how to move with the inhales and exhales, ebbs and flows of life. That's true, unencumbered wisdom.

If ever you've been made to feel like a black sheep, an outsider or someone who could never fit in, KNOW that you were never designed to go along with the program. And you have walked away from all attachments that did not serve you. In many cases, these people, places, things were stripped from you. You pause here in this moment at the threshold with the opportunity now to plant your seeds (New Moon energy) in fertile soil. What gifts lie inside of you waiting to be given life? In this episode, we dive into the meaning of this moon phase in my next download from "Moonchild Memos". Let me know how this resonated for you!

Shifting into an Abundance Mindset…How?!

Shifting into an Abundance Mindset…How?!

If you’re a spiritual entrepreneur + creative trying to turn your ideas into income so you can work for yourself or do what you LOVE, we’ve all heard the same messages - when are you going to get a real job?..Aren’t you afraid of being a starving artist?..or our internal voice that says I’m doing this work for the Divine so I’m not comfortable charging people or even how to set my rates. I’m here to remind you that nature is abundant and bountiful and it is your birthright to be well resourced. In this episode, I share a bit about my story and three practical exercises anybody can use to shift out of a poverty mindset to own and ask for what you’re worth. And remember, by your needs being met, you can sustain your work and keep being accessible to the people who are looking for the medicine only you can bring. ###

Grief + Change as Creative Catalysts.

Grief + Change as Creative Catalysts.

Grief is often the hardest part of facing change, whether it's the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, the loss of a routine, the loss of a friendship, expectation, opportunity or even in some moments a loss of hope. Grief is that tough and persistent teacher greeting us at the door at the top of class to both welcome us in and also check to see if we have completed the assignment, integrated the lessons and done our homework. If you sometimes struggle to put words to your grief and understanding what new thing is under the rubble waiting to be discovered - this episode is for you.

Rest as Protest, Organizing Within.

Rest as Protest, Organizing Within.

This past week has been that of LEGENDS, with swift uprisings, protests, demonstrations, and reactive control by municipalities sweeping the nation, and globe. In this episode, I share my introverted processing on marching, protesting, and my struggle to stay in my rest, and to allow my ancestors to get their well-deserved justice. Rest IS protest.

Graduation.

Graduation.

Graduation day got cancelled...did you know that? Do you feel that...and did you hear me? One of the largest and most significant rights of passage in the Western, and global cultures IS NOT HAPPENING.…and if it was never clear just how much we need human connection, or just how much it serves us to slow down and reflect – now is the time to notice. Count your blessings. Express your gratitudes. Offer a moment of connection to a neighbor, friend, family member or stranger in need. Take time to yourself, without apology. Dive deep into a hobby, interest, your rest, or your grief. And know that while this is a time of uncertainty, there is MUCH to be harvested during this time. The time is NOW. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for!
