We all experience identity shifts throughout our lives, and the transition into motherhood can bring a very significant shift in one’s identity and how one views the world. To discuss these shifts, I’m sitting down with Dr. Veronica Eyo, a licensed therapist who specializes in supporting moms of color, and Rosalyn Davis, a community builder, breathwork practitioner, and new mom.

This episode is full of honest takes about what the transition into motherhood can feel like, how new and seasoned mothers can reconnect with themselves, and how we can all reparent ourselves.

Is epigenetics the key to ending generational trauma? In this episode, guest Dr. Cleopatra shares why we have more power than we realize to change how our genes work, and which genes we can pass on to future generations.

Though we can’t change our DNA, we can change how our genes are expressed through epigenetics, the understanding of how our behaviors and environment impact our genes. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that is equal parts inspiring and informative.

Dr. Cleopatra is a scientist and tenured USC professor who pioneered the field of fertility biohacking and creating superbabies. To date, Dr. Cleopatra has scientifically studied tens of thousands of families and has helped birthing persons in 23 countries on 6 continents have their superbabies.

In today’s episode, we’re kicking off our new life and creativity series by discussing fertility, motherhood, and birthing new ideas. Understanding reproductive health and fertility can be a complicated topic, and in this conversation, we’re talking about family planning options for those who are considering having biological children.

Our guest is Dr. Tiffanny Jones, OBGYN and reproductive endocrinologist at Conceive Fertility Center in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Tiffanny Jones became a reproductive endocrinologist because she felt connected to the impact she could have on the lives of patients looking to start or grow their families. She earned her medical degree from Meharry Medical College in Nashville, completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at LAC+USC Medical Center in Los Angeles, and completed a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

In this episode, we discuss the unique considerations Black birthing persons may want to keep in mind when trying to conceive.

Have you ever felt impatient while waiting for your manifestations to come through? Same, friend. And I’m talking all about it in today’s episode.

Though I didn’t consciously know what manifestation until my 20’s, I realized I’d been manifesting my entire life. In fact, we all have. We all have the power to manifest, and we are all constantly manifesting whether we’re aware of it or not.

And when we become aware, we’re able to intentionally tap into our manifestation power. I discuss my personal experiences learning about and understanding manifestation, some manifestations I’ve had come through, and how I’m learning to be patient and prepare for my manifestations to come through in the physical realm.

This week on the podcast we get to have an incredible conversation on inner magic and self-acceptance with yogi, entrepreneur, author, and activist Jessamyn Stanley. Jessamyn is an internationally acclaimed voice in wellness, who is highly sought-after for her insights on 21st-century yoga and intersectional identity.

To say I’m a fan of her work is an understatement. When I first started the Balanced Black Girl podcast I had a shortlist of dream guests and Jessamyn was on that list, so this is a truly full-circle moment! Our conversation is rich and full of insights regarding what the practice of self-acceptance involves. We also chat about our respective yoga journeys and the profound lessons Jessamyn learned in her training around compassion. Being the true astrology nerd that I am we also get into a conversation on our big threes and the impact astrology has had on the way we connect with the universe and ourselves.

This episode is full of insights regarding our path to wholeness and feels like an incredible blessing.

This week we get to explore something that we haven’t really talked about in great length on previous episodes of the podcast. When it comes to Magic and Manifestation practitioners have different ways to connect and communicate with their spirit guides. One of those ways is by using the Akashic Records. You may be asking yourself, “Um... What are the Akashic Records?” This question is totally understandable and we had the same questions at the Balanced Black Girl podcast so I decided we needed to bring on an expert to share her insights and journey so far.

Brittany “Brit” Starr is a spiritualist and creator working at the intersections of modern technology and the infinite. Through her studio, Sword + Stone, she amplifies the magic of conscious businesses through divinely inspired tech services and education. She offers a unique fusion of channeled guidance, archetypal journeying, and Akashic education through her online community, The Inner Well.

We get to it all in this episode, from Brit’s journey to discovering the power connecting with the Akashic Records has, to the lessons she has learned through her interpretation of the records. As well as the ways we can use them for interpersonal development through practices of feeling our intuition, meditation, and prayer. We also chat about the messiness of spirituality and why it’s ok that our wellness journey will never be perfect.

Listen to the full episode now to learn more about this unique spiritual modality!

We are continuing our magic and manifestation series with the brilliant and multi-passionate creative SaTar’Ra. SaTar'Ra is a creative, conjure woman, and ritual practitioner focused on the intersection of music, movement, and spirituality. She also happens to be a fellow graduate of the 200hr Yoga Teacher Training I took at the end of 2021.

We really connected at the training, so when I was planning out this series I knew I had to have her on as a guest. This conversation is full of insight and wisdom and a must-listen for anyone looking to learn how to keep their spiritual hygiene up and work magic in their lives.

Tune in for an episode dripping in good energy. We discuss spiritual rituals you can incorporate into your life and SaTar’Ra shares advice for protecting your energy and keeping your manifestations sacred.
