Today's episode features a segment from the Align Mini-Course, where Raven guides us into the depths of self-discovery. She illuminates the process of peeling away the layers of our constructed identities, narratives, and controlling behaviours.

She shares intimate tales from her journey through personal development and tantra, highlighting just how vital it is to invest in ourselves. Whether it's through coaching, mentoring, or embracing practices that nourish our authenticity, joy, and capacity to serve, this conversation is all about the inner work we do in a safe, supportive space.

Raven also explores the delightful realms of pleasure, pushing the boundaries of how much bliss we can actually handle, and celebrating the beauty of our shared paths to true awakening. It's a reminder that while the road can be solitary, having a tribe that uplifts and supports us makes all the difference.

 So, if you're questioning your path or looking for signs to seek guidance, this episode reassures you that reaching out is not just okay—it's necessary to break free from societal moulds and soar into our spiritual and emotional evolution.

Quotes from Episode:
"Breathing into who you really are and expressing that is the greatest healing that you will ever experience. Because all it is, is a washing away of whatever isn't your authentic essence. We're not trying to become anything. We're just purifying what isn't us." 

"Can you let die the part of you that is still fucking trying? Stop trying. You are already an authentic woman if you choose to just fucking be here now."
