At 24, Jasmine Alicia Carter sat in front of a blank page with her own menstrual blood, shaking, thinking: "They're gonna call me a freak."
That painting cracked something open. Ten years later, her menstrual art has reached universities and thousands of women, and it carried her through the most painful periods of her life, a miscarriage, and into becoming a wife and a mother.
In this conversation we go into the marrow of what your body is really telling you:
• Why your body will always choose survival over thrival, and why your cycle is the first thing to go when you're depleted
• Cortisol, the bear that never comes, and how unanswered text messages and endless to-do lists shut down the womb
• Why so many women lose weight "out of nowhere" when they finally leave what they've been tolerating
• Your body isn't betraying you. It's a reflection of how you betray yourself
• From maiden to mother: rites of passage, and why the fire of the maiden doesn't have to dim
• "You missed your window because you're 41." Why that's bullshit, and the safety piece of fertility
• Community, matriarchy, and creating a new world together
If this episode moves you, put your hands on your belly, then share it with a woman who needs to hear it.
Content note: this episode includes discussion of suicide, miscarriage and childhood sexual abuse.

Rita’s conversation with Dionne Nicholls-Germain dives deep into the transformative and healing power of forgiveness. Dionne, known as the “Chief Forgiveness Officer,” shares her deeply personal journey through betrayal, infidelity, family challenges, and the process of rebuilding her life through forgiveness.
Together, Rita and Dionne explore how holding onto resentment and unresolved emotions can affect our well-being, relationships, and the weight we carry, both emotionally and physically. They discuss what true forgiveness actually looks like, why forgiveness does not always mean reconciliation, and how choosing peace, setting healthy boundaries, and releasing what no longer serves us can create space for healing and a new chapter.
The conversation also touches on the impact our relationships and environments can have on children and the importance of breaking generational patterns through conscious healing and healthier choices.

What happens when four women come together with one powerful thing in common: the healing power of forgiveness?
In this conversation, Rita Pira and an incredible group of women explore how forgiveness can transform your emotional, physical, and even professional life. From releasing shame and stored emotions to healing relationships, breaking generational patterns, and learning to forgive yourself, this conversation goes deeper than simply "letting go."
You'll hear personal stories, powerful insights, and real-life experiences that show how forgiveness can help you reconnect with yourself, release what you've been carrying, and create space for a more peaceful, empowered life.
Because sometimes, the biggest breakthrough isn't about changing what happened. It's about changing what you choose to carry forward.

Become Healthy, Happy, Hot & Healed
What if the life you want doesn’t begin with fixing yourself—but with questioning the beliefs that shape your…
You’ve tried the diets, workouts, courses, coaches, supplements, healing retreats—maybe even the Ayahuasca ceremony. So why do you still feel stuck, disconnected from yourself, or know you’re meant for more without knowing how to get there?
Welcome to RITAFINE REALITY.
Hosted by Rita Pira, transformational mentor, speaker, retreat host, and creator of the RITAFINE Method, this podcast explores emotional healing, embodiment, identity, energetics, and real-life transformation.
Sometimes, you don’t need another strategy. You need to examine the beliefs you’ve built your life around, reconsider the meaning you’ve attached to your experiences, and question how the way you see yourself, others, and the world might not be serving you.
You can understand your patterns and still repeat them, know your worth and struggle to live in alignment with it, and you can want more from life while holding on to beliefs that prevent you from having it.
You can’t change what happened to you. But you can redefine what it means about you—and what becomes possible from here.
It's connected to how you show up in your everyday life: how you nourish your body, protect your energy, experience beauty and pleasure, and express yourself. It’s about honoring your body, respecting your boundaries, upholding your standards, and embodying your values—aligning how you live with what genuinely matters to you..
Integrity isn’t just what you believe. It’s how you embody what you value.
We explore emotional patterns, burnout, emotional eating, body image, self-sabotage, confidence, visibility, holistic wellness, identity, communication, marketing psychology, and the courage to be seen.
Because you don’t have to choose between inner healing and outer expression, depth and desire, or self-acceptance and a bigger, bolder, more beautiful life.
You get to be healthy. Happy. Hot. And healed.
Welcome to RITAFINE REALITY.
Every episode is an energetic shift. Something in you softens, clicks, or wakes up. Sometimes it is emotional. Sometimes it is physical. Sometimes it is the exact perspective change you did not know you needed.
Rita’s work is rooted in lived experience, not theory. As a first-generation Assyrian woman born in the United States, her life has been shaped by breaking patterns, leaving old identities behind, and rebuilding from scratch more than once - manifesting magic along the way.
Before this work, she was a sales queen, and an award-winning elementary school teacher who later went on to become a professor of Public Speaking, Sales, and Marketing. Over a decade before wellness became mainstream, she was already living it - vegan, juicing, non-tox.
