Fire and Soul

I’ve been saving this special pod for over six weeks, and am so excited I finally get to share it with you today!

If you’ve been following my journey for a while, you know that Ginni Media and I have poured our heart and soul into our program The Podcast Accelerator. 

Even if you’ve never considered starting a podcast of your own, if there’s anything I’ve learned in my ten years of being on TV, seems everyone loves to get a glimpse behind the scenes. 

And that’s exactly where we’re headed in this week’s episode. 

I’m taking you behind the scenes to share what it’s really like to be part of the program, from the lens of our graduates. 

We came together the day after they launched their podcast into the world to celebrate their outstanding achievement!

We get an inside look into the excitement of a launching a podcast, and the personal transformation that decision sparked for each person. 

You’re going to hear each one of them share raw, genuine, and honest impressions of their experience. 

They dive deep into how they overcame their deepest fears in order to follow their dreams to touch lives with their one-of-a-kind platform. 

You’ll laugh, possibly cry (I sure did), and no doubt cheer them on from the sidelines.

I’m deeply proud of each and every single one of them and know you’ll feel the same. 

It’s been an epic adventure and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them as they continue to share their voice with the world. 

Here’s to being seen and heard!

I’m so excited to share today’s solo podcast with you. Near the end of 2019, I shared my detailed experience at Rythmia Life Advancement Center, where I tried Ayahuasca for the first time. As I’ve stated many times before, those experiences completely changed my life.

I also share deeply about the fears I faced, the moments of forgiveness that have changed the way I walk in the world still today, and how I’m stepping into love with every move I make. 

It’s time to rise up! Are you ready? 

In This Episode You Will Learn:

We took that conversation to Facebook Live, and that conversation is also featured as today’s podcast. Throughout our conversation, I dive back into my experience with the plant medicine, what I saw, what exactly Mother Ayahuasca was telling me to expect, and how those messages and lessons have become a reality for me now.

Here’s to doing the right thing! 

This pod features a long-overdue guest, but this conversation comes at exactly the right time. You’ll meet one of my best friends of 26 years: the incredible Daniel Gibson. Daniel, a graduate from Yale, is a passionate community leader and advocate for social justice, who spent the last 15 years championing causes to eradicate racism and poverty in the United States. He’s created and implemented nationally recognized programs for jail and prison reform, affordable housing, access to medical care for the chronically homeless, HIV/AIDS prevention and LGBTQ+ rights. He’s dedicated to addressing the root causes of economic and health disparities experienced by vulnerable and marginalized communities. 

Throughout this episode, Daniel and I have an intentional conversation about race. He discusses his relationship with his Blackness, how he’s learned to embrace it, and what that means for him. We also talk about an incredibly vulnerable post that Daniel shared on his Facebook about why he chose not to march in the protests for justice for George Floyd. 

This is a deeply meaningful, intentional, and needed conversation with a beautiful soul. 

Some Questions I Ask: 

• Why do you think you have never brought your blackness to the party of our friendship? (9:24)
• How can people begin the internal healing process when working toward becoming anti-racist? (13:48)

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• How Daniel learned to embrace his Black heritage. (9:29)
• What being authentically anti-racist looks like. (14:12)

She even leads me through a process to tap into true peace, love, and life – and I was completely blown away by it. 

This is a deeply meaningful and applicable conversation. You’re REALLY going to love it.
