Today's episode is about stability. Creating stability within ourselves and with community in a way that creates a brighter future. What is happening in our country isn’t new, it’s been happening and it’s still happening. Ash challenges us to use this time as an opportunity to evolve and grow because waiting for what was is only setting us up for shock and struggle. What are you being called to do or create? What is stopping you from moving forward?

Inspiring points:

• There is no going back only moving forward and learning to work together for the greater good.
• Look into yourself and see what healing needs to be done to build, grow and expand.
• We are waiting for reprieve to come instead of initiating the change we desire.
• It's our responsibility as individuals, communities, groups to create our livelihoods.
• Be in control of your own energy - in personal relationships, in business and in things going on in the country.
• What is your empire? What are you creating from the ground up?

This episode is for those of us who’ve always felt different...but still try to fit in...the black sheep of the family, those of us who have always seen life through a different lens and are STILL looking to belong somewhere, somehow even though it’s never felt right when we do. Listen with presence and intent as Ash gives insight on “healing instead of just belonging”, defining freedom for yourself, and what that *might* look like for each of us on our unique journey. She leaves you with 6 questions to think on to explore and find your own purpose + path. Get your notebook and favorite pen ready!

Inspiring Points:

• Overview and differentiation of invocation, petition, incantation, grounding and clearing, intention setting, and prayer, as all are great methods of tuning in with self and your spirits
• Going against the grain to be who you've always been
• Doing what is lit up in your spirit for personal and cultural healing
• Trusting yourself and spirits as an entrepreneur
• How old ways don’t open new roads...kinda
• Why it’s time for us to NOT belong in order to create freedom (and find “our” folks!)
• Why belonging staggers leadership, and how you can stand out
• Defining freedom and what it looks like for self
• Questions for your own purpose + path and how you are here to heal + grow

Welcome to It’s Still Happening, a podcast that explores how to heal your ancestral and generational wounds, reclaim your blessings as birthright and walk your path of freedom while contributing to the collective transformation we desperately need in a social climate that’s constantly in crisis.

Shared through the voice, connections and experiences of Ash Johns—host, guide, coach, strategist and healer—who believes our lives are not only our own and the only way to heal forward is to pull the weeds from the root, which happens to be ALL of our ancestors.

This is the podcast to get into critical thought, cultural taboos, and spiritual warfare that keeps us stuck and siloed, instead of free and connected. You’ll get stories, strategies, and prayers of transformation, ancestral healing, and personal empowerment for positive impact every season.

So regardless of your race, ethnicity, class, age, or economic condition, if you’re a womxn with an undying urge to harness your power, transform your life, and change the trajectory of your family lineage for the greater good of the whole world and our humanity, get ready to get comfy and cozy with me in this transparent exploration of personal development, ancestral healing, spiritual practice, energy alchemy and conscious business required for paradigm shift.

It's Still Happening reminds us that deep healing requires both courage and compassion.
