In this rich and honest conversation, I sit down with Ifákóredé Ifáfayėmí, a priestess and practitioner of the Yoruba Ifá tradition. We explore what it means to come home to a spiritual path that isn’t rooted in patriarchal or colonial frameworks, and how reconnecting with ancestral wisdom can shift the way we relate to the divine.
We talk about the importance of being fully human while walking a spiritual path—how to honour your emotions, your body, your mistakes, without feeling like you're “failing” at being spiritual. Ifákóredé shares powerful insight on navigating the polarity of higher self and human self, and why real growth lives is accepting and being all of it.
In this episode we cover:
* What the Ifá tradition is and how it differs from mainstream, patriarchal religions
* The work of decolonising our idea of God, who is God & how do we percieve God?
* How New age ‘love and light’ spirituality is secretly blocking us
* How to live in alignment with both your spirit and your humanness
* All things Mermaids 🧜♀️
This is expansive chat that invites you to rethink spirituality in a way that feels more rooted, inclusive, and real.
