Journey with Akia

Someone asked me “How did you end up where you are?” which got me to reflecting about the idea of a journey, direction, and destination.

A reflection and an invitation to the question, “Who Am I?”.

There are so many different seasons of life and at some point we may find ourselves sincerely asking, “Who Am I?” as we navigate the changing nature of life.

Let’s take a deeper look together and see ….

"We are pulled away from this very early on. This is why we call it magic because it's there, it's natural, it's nature, but we are disconnected from it from very early on because we are told  not follow our hearts and not live in accordance with our own inner knowing that we stop abiding in that and start to do things that are solely from a state of survival and societal norms. Following the heart doesn't make sense in a world solely led by intellect. Intellect is not the only way to exist. It's like driving a car on one wheel."

Welcome back to Journey with Akia. Your gentle reminder to live fully and follow your own unique journey unapologetically.

This week we are going on a journey with magic. I am sharing magic that has occurred on my journey that has allowed me to experience the impossible. I explore and demystify magic and acknowledging it as a natural part of a naturally lived life.

Hey friend! Welcome back to Journey with Akia. Your gentle reminder to live fully and follow your own unique journey unapologetically.

This week we are going on a journey with fear and love. I am sharing a personal reflection and solution on navigating fear in my daily life and a recent story time of crippling fear that almost kept me away from one of the best things ever!

15 months off of Instagram and TikTok after tripling my follower count and going viral multiple times. I was just at the beginning of my social media success and I decided to delete it all! Here I’m sharing … the journey of going viral, why I deleted my accounts, battling anxiety, judgement, and insecurities, how to use social media without letting it consume you, if I’ll ever return, and a message from my teacher that changed my life with the way I view social media! 

Let’s journey the world of social media baby!

In the process of preparing for this yoga retreat I asked myself what is most message is most important? What is it that I am really here to do? What things are non-negotiable? What is the content and structure that I am sharing?

It sounds like a lot to figure out, but actually it was clear, simple, and easy. No confusion. No hard brain work required.

The most important part of teaching or sharing … YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN PRACTICE! You should be an embodiment of what you are sharing. This way, there is no conflict with what you are offering. No confusion because you are sharing a part of your own Life.

I start off with a disclaimer at the beginning of the retreat. A set of clear intentions and values. It’s a bit bold. It’s straightforward, but it honest. We don’t have much time here on this planet. Life goes by quickly. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time!

Never in a million years could I have imagined I would end up doing this. In fact, I always rolled my eyes at anything concerning yoga and spirituality. To be honest, modern day yoga is weird!

With more than 700 hours in formal yoga teacher training and accreditation on paper I still vowed to never teach yoga. It still seemed like a cringe world of hierarchy, flexibility, crazy hippies, tight yoga clothes, the reciting of ancient texts, spiritual sex parties, amongst a whole bunch of other stuff.  I was just curious to know it to its depths and try to get to the root of what it actually was and if it was actually as useful as people made it out to be. What is this yoga business really all about? And what I found led me here ….

Hey my loves! Feeling so much of an  out pouring of energy directed towards the podcast lately! No force, no effort, no push, just a natural flow to share! Feels so good to be back to spend time with my podcast family with a sincere and honest message … STOP TRYING TO FIX YOURSELF, please! It’s a bit forward and blunt. I’m just the messenger.

yep, I know how radical and even arrogant that may sound, just hear me out though! let’s chit chat a little about our obsession with working on ourselves and explore why we maybe don’t have to!

I would love to hear from you! What is your experience with seeking or “getting better”. Does it seem realistic to just stop? I’m sooooo curious to hear you!

Hey my loves! It’s been a while! Bare with me as I create these podcast episodes on God’s timing and not from my own personal will and agenda! My intention is to only share what I feel deeply in my heart so, HERE WE GO!

Ugh, this is such a raw and transparent episode because it’s happening in REAL TIME which makes it even more juicy! Let’s get into what I’d like to call, “The Gift of Not Knowing A Damn Thing” haha! 

I would love to hear from you all and if you have ever been in this season and how you journeyed through!
