September 11, 2026Uncovering Your Liberation Blueprint with Nova Reid
Where can we find our blueprints for liberation?
What if you found out that our roadmaps for liberation are not only alive but also hidden in plain sight?
Well, buckle up Beloved…
In this conversation, I’m joined by acclaimed author, speaker, producer, truth seeker and mischief maker, Nova Reid.
Nova is a founder and visionary who uses the power of storytelling to help solve social justice issues. She is a renowned agent of change, winning multiple accolades for her work in racial justice spanning over a decade.
During this episode, we discuss her six-part audio documentary series Hidden Histories with Nova Reid which brings to life the untold and often forgotten stories of extraordinary Black Caribbean women like Queen Nanny of the Maroons, Olive Morris, Cuban Cornwallis and more who helped shape world history, culture and society.
Through sharing these revolutionary women’s narratives Nova invites us to see their humanity beyond their activism and in return we uncover our personal and collective blueprints for liberation.
In this episode we explore:
Moving from dehumanization to humanization in a world eclipsed by anti-Black racism
How connecting to our Indigenous technologies transforms legacies of harm into legacies of healing
Unlearning the colonial demonization of Afro-Indigenous traditional spirituality and reconnecting to our power
How to choose liberation even in the midst of chaos and confusion
and so much more
I hope this episode gifts you with clear sight and opens your heart to orient towards the living liberatory blueprints awaiting us now.

September 16, 2025Reclaiming the Black Body: Re-imagining our Relationship to Food with Alishia McCullough
{Content Warning: Eating Disorders} Have you ever felt guilty about eating the foods you love? If so, this episode is for you.
My guest, Alishia McCullough, is a millennial Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist and the founder of Black and Embodied. In this conversation, we explore how our relationship with food is not only personal, it’s political, it’s historical and shaped by trauma.
We explore:
How Alishia got started in this work
The ways that diet culture, healthism distorts our relationship with food
How fatphobia is rooted in white supremacy and impacts the ways we nourish ourselves
The importance of shifting our language away from “eating disorders” to “eating imbalances” and the Indigenous wisdom around embracing this perspective
and so much more…
I hope this episode invites you to have a more holistic relationship with food and with yourself. I also hope the next time you sit down for a meal there’s less guilt and more joy.

October 03, 2023Going all in with your soul’s work
This episode is expanding on a piece I wrote about how the theme for this year emerged - it's all about going all in when it comes to our soul's work and we're doing it workshop style!
In this episode I riff on...
How going all in can feel edgy, dangerous and the important re-frame that can allow us to expand.
The role that our past traumas play in going all in.
An important message that emerged about going all in which is key to taking the pressure off.
I take you through some workshop style inquires that peel back the layers to identify where you're being called to go all in, the support you need and more.
Plus, I talk about going all in in a way that's regenerative and doesn't subscribe to grind culture, exploitation and extraction.
