Sovereignty Begins With Awareness is a gentle reflection on the systems we live within, the moral tradeoffs they ask us to accept, and the quiet ways they shape our beliefs, fears, and choices. Inspired by literature like The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin, and the Rana Plaza tragedy, this episode explores how suffering becomes normalized and why awareness isn’t rebellion — it’s choice. This conversation is an invitation to observe, to name what you feel, and to consider what true, embodied freedom and sovereignty mean for you in a world built on tradeoffs. It’s not about rejecting the world, but learning how to move through it with discernment, boundaries, and intention. Take what resonates, sit with what stirs, and let the rest fall away.

In this transformative episode, join host Alayja Sims and co-host Jenee Collings alongside special guests Lauren Crisanto, Jazmin Velez, Layla Roche, and Starlight as they embark on an empowering journey to awaken the goddess within every woman. Together, these dynamic voices explore topics that resonate deeply with women everywhere, including redefining relationships, challenging societal beauty standards, and fostering proper healing.

This insightful conversation dives into grounding techniques, cleansing rituals, and finding inner balance by embracing both feminine and masculine energies. Through heartfelt exchanges, the panelists share their unique experiences of discovering self-acceptance, redefining what it means to be a woman on their own terms, and breaking free from external validations.

Each voice adds a layer of wisdom and individuality, proving that empowerment is not one-size-fits-all but a deeply personal and liberating journey. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, tools for healing, or ways to reconnect with your divine self, this episode offers invaluable insights to support your path.

Tune in for an uplifting, enlightening dialogue that celebrates the power, resilience, and individuality of women!
