In this episode of The Dojo:

• Liberation in taking full ownership of your life
• Practicing compassion for your shadow sides as you heal
• Connecting to your true essence & inner child

May Xiana’s sharing inspire an awareness in you that may not have been there before you received it. Her story is powerful — a journey of choosing to fully see herself, and in the conscious creation of herself, being willing to risk the rejection of others. She experienced transcendence, having no more identification of self, and in her season of withering came the blossoming of life. Xiana talks about her pregnancy and partnership journey, and what this chapter of motherhood means for her.

In this episode of The Dojo:

• Xiana’s initiation into Priestess and Channel of Oshun
• Radical self-acceptance & the willingness to be fully seen
• From Xiana’s season of withering & depression to blossoming
• How Xiana’s child inspired fortitude within her before he was born
• Death of your old self when you move into motherhood
