Join your host Ashleigh King as she welcomes Mayira Thomas – poet, educator, speaker, and founder of Mayfly Coaching – for a heartfelt and profound conversation that spans identity, healing, emotional intelligence, and the power of truly being seen. Mayira brings a deeply rooted, cross-cultural perspective to her work.

Themes of this conversation:

🌵 Growing up between cultures, navigating assumptions and identity, and how these early experiences shaped Mayira’s mission to help others feel seen

🌵 The emotional weight young people often carry – from racism and cultural expectations to being silent caregivers – and why nurturing safe spaces is essential

🌵 Reframing how we see teenagers, especially boys, and giving them the tools to process emotion, build confidence, and ask for help

🌵 The importance of emotional self-leadership in adults – and how awareness, boundaries, and better communication create healthier homes and communities

🌵 Mayira’s creative and spiritual journey – from writing poetry and meditating in nature to embracing solitude, breathwork, and the beauty of slowing down

🌵 Why she believes creativity isn’t a luxury, but a survival tool – and how self-expression, not perfection, can lead us to personal freedom
