    Mar 22 2026

    Hello, in this episode, we talk about why people copy and imitate, offering a compassionate perspective with some truths to help you get beyond both the resistance that comes with fear of being copied and imitated, and understanding why we copy and imitate at all.


    Things we get into:


    💚 For creators/artists/influencers, accepting being copied as part of the journey, and learning from 3D celebrities who are constantly being manifested by people.

    💚 Navigating the call for ancestral healing during these times.

    💚 Decolonial lens on Black women imitating and copying the beauty that comes naturally to other women as an aftermath of colonialisation

    💚 The role of compassion in dealing with imitation/copying instances.

    💚 Pain avoidance as part of the reason why we copy/imitate.

  • Self-Harm Recovery | Addiction | Spirituality | Black Women’s Mental Health.
    Feb 18 2026

    Bonus video edition!

    I haven’t felt this excited to share an episode as much as I am with this one. This is a journey that I have written about on other platforms, Medium and Substack, and now I have a whole episode talking about my journey with the recovery and healing.Things we talk about:♥︎ The stigma around self-harming.♥︎ Why do we self-harm (going beyond the personal to what we have been facing as a collective, including racism and the necessity to decolonise)♥︎ Shifting to healthier coping mechanisms♥︎ The role of my spirituality as part of my healing and recovery.


    As part of your healing and recovery, I recommend therapy / counselling, services / healing services. Having a non-judgmental and compassionate space where you can discuss self-harming and unpack the reasons behind it helps a lot.✯✯✯ Thank you for being here.💗Please like / share / follow/rate this podcast, it helps to boost it so it can reach more beautiful souls and helps me with my journey of being a creative soulpreneur too!✯✯✯Check out more of my work, including my Substack newsletter and books out now via my website.

  • 32: The abandonment wound, how it manifests in relationships and what it's teaching you.
    Feb 15 2026

    Hi, in this episode, we are getting into the abandonment wound. This is one of the core wounds we face as human beings and it plays out in so many different ways in our lives.

    ❄️ How it manifests in relationships, including the avoidant attachment and why there's a lot of pessimism in relationships

    ❄️ A fun Bojack Horseman reference - one of my favourite shows.

    ❄️ Passport Bros & the male abandonment wound ( men with abandonment wounds seeking partners who they think won't walk away).

    ❄️ How other people's abandonment wounds can affect your life (why you are not getting support from your friends)

    ❄️ What the abandonment wound teaches you - there is a wonderful lesson here.

    ❄️ Navigating rejection, social media unfollowings and people not liking you.

    💚 We talk about the patriarchy’s role in the male loneliness conversations.

    💚 Valuing our feminine energy for connections.

    💚 Feeling lonely whilst in relationships, and the feelings of guilt and shame around it.

  • 28. Why I'm not a girl's girl, the wounded maiden archetype & ADHD in women.
    Jan 4 2026

    Hello, beautiful souls. ✨

    This episode feels like a coming out to myself, and to you, with a side of myself that I haven't let myself own publicly beyond my words, and it's all about why I'm not a Girl, as a grown woman, and why I'm not a "Girl's Girl".

    Things we get into:

    ⭐️Girls' girl spaces where women don't heal, grow or hold each other accountable, and performative social media support and subconscious competitiveness that lingers here.

    ⭐️ Why I despise anything about calling men “daddy”, and why the daddy kink a lot of women talk about makes me feel sad, touching on the male collective wounding and the father wound.

    ⭐️ How my ADHD was showing up whilst at university, and how part of our neurospicy experience is that we can coast and suppress our full potential.

    ⭐️ How the wounded maiden archetype manifests and its impact on our spiritual journeys, including within twin flame narratives.

    ⭐️ Wild woman awakening related to our ancestries, including decolonial and depatriarchying work

    ⭐️ Why we avoid being in our bodies as spiritual women, and what lingers underneath spiritual bypassing spaces.

    ⭐️ The gruelling process of embodying your Wild Power.


    Additional resources:

    If you are new to feminine archetypes, here's a website that goes into them.

    Books mentioned:

    • Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
    • The article I wrote on Twin Flames.
