The Voice That Sees

This week's episode of The Voice That Sees is a deep-dive into some pearls of wisdom that have been uncovered from breaking the cycle of narcissistic abuse in 2025. 

Beena discusses how narcissistic abuse and abuse of any form can impact authentic self-expression. Narcissistic abuse can involve being on the receiving end of gaslighting, manipulation, and controlling tactics to silence one's voice, thoughts, feelings, and needs.

While this can deeply affect a person's self-esteem and confidence to express, the irony is that people impacted by narcissistic abuse do not have to wait until they feel they have healed this wound entirely in order to start expressing themselves. In fact, for those who have been silenced—speaking up, voicing your truth, and creating art are some of the most powerful avenues for healing.

In giving yourself permission to start creating and taking a stand for your truth, you start to feel confident in your voice and your expression over time.

This episode also dives into the themes of:

In this episode of The Voice That Sees, we explore what the sacred space of the void is and how you can use it to transform during a period of spiritual transformation and rebirth.

Often, the void can be used to dream up visions we think we want but may be coming from the ego when they stem from a place of inadequacy. However, when you allow yourself to be transformed by God, you may notice that you are being transformed in ways you did not know to ask for. Through deep surrender, you may find yourself praying differently and letting go of the vision you thought you wanted so a greater vision can be birthed through you.

Some of the beautiful attributes that become activated during the void are patience, mastery, confidence, trust and faith. When faith is acted upon, that connection to the divine then becomes faith in motion.

The invitation here is to ask yourself some of the bigger questions during these transitory moments:

In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of grief, which can be a complex emotion that helps to open up inner worlds that we had yet to discover when we are willing to shed former identities and versions that no longer serve us on our path.

Whether you are navigating the loss of a loved one or going through a life transition such as divorce or the end of an era with a career path, that opening often brings up a period of grieving for a world that no longer exists.

If you can sit with the emotions that come up in this space and be present with yourself, you may find that grief is transforming you and helping you uncover more of your authentic self.

And even beyond that, if you can hold space for that much grief, you can also hold space for that much unconditional love. Grief is similar to a passageway that leads to more love and acceptance on the other side. And before you know it, a new world emerges from deep within you followed by a new reality in the external world.

This episode is also a tribute to my late maternal grandmother who leaves a beautiful legacy of love among her family, village and loved ones—a heart that gave so generously and abundantly, eyes that naturally pierced through the shadows, and a presence that welcomed you without expectations.

Thank you Ba for all the wisdom and teachings you have instilled in me.

Most importantly, thank you for your treasure chest of love.

It's the first episode of 2026 and we're entering this new year, cycle and era in alignment and power with this potent conversation around leadership and owning your authority by being true to who you are.

Power in its true essence is not performative but authentic. It allows people to move forward in an empowered way and with clarity and precision. When power becomes performative, it's often hiding something underneath such as fears or doubts.

This conversation invites women — particularly bold, ambitious and mission-driven women — to remember that it is safe to be powerful, to release outdated ways of being, to let go of attachments that may be holding you back. And to step into this new cycle ready to create the positive impact you are here to make by first honoring your authenticity.

This is a beautiful invitation to delve into the deeper inquiries of life including what is the legacy and the kind of impact you intend to make in your lifetime and beyond.

This episode blends psychology, spirituality and faith as we unravel the imprint of narcissism that lives in the collective shadow of humanity along with narcissistic traits that we may carry individually. 

As we return to inner alignment, we stop trying to outsource for love and validation. We find a sense of approval from deep within. Once we start shifting back to inner alignment, some of those imbalanced relationships and unhealthy patterns start to come undone so healthier relationships and ways of being can emerge.

The collective has been moving through a period of releasing the weight of these burdens that we no longer need to carry so that we can unmask the light that has been hidden underneath.

This is a time of upgrading all the relationships in our lives to healthier, conscious relationships that bring more harmony, beauty and balance to our lives. The shift starts within through wholeness or what can also be known as divine union, which includes a balanced, harmonious flow of the sacred feminine and sacred masculine energies within us.

If your life is calling you to rise higher, you may be asked to release the weight of former cycles and patterns that no longer serve you. Can you trust God or a higher power to lead the way? Or do you think you need to do it alone? 

This episode is packed with stories about religion, narcissistic abuse, codependency, faith, the mysteries of the sacred feminine and how a year of stillness led to one of the biggest revelations — this divine love has always been within.

This episode is a journey into the native traditions that honor the wisdom of Father Sky and Mother Earth as we heal any imbalances in the feminine and masculine energies within individual and collective consciousness.

Many people may be holding onto something known as the mother wound and the father wound. While this can show up in different ways in adulthood, there is a plethora of healing modalities available to help us heal these aspects.

Today's conversation explores the father wound in particular as it holds great significance given our fathers were the first sacred masculine we knew growing up. We also dive into the world of emotions and what a healthy sense of self-worth encompasses.

As we understand more about the upbringing of men in society and the generational and societal beliefs that were passed along, we can comprehend why there has been an imbalance in society among both men and women.

The beauty of ancient traditions such as Father Sky and Mother Earth is that it teaches us we have the power to balance and harmonize our inner masculine and feminine by opening up to Father Sky (masculine) and Mother Earth (feminine) to expand us and to root us. These elements are available to all of humanity and can help us as we venture into the realms of self-discovery and self-awareness.

Let this conversation be an invitation to go deeper.

As the collective is breaking free from old ways, we are all witnessing the emergence of the new sacred masculine.

This episode dives into the world of esoteric knowledge and ancient wisdom, channeled from the teachings of Mary Magdalene. While she may have been a controversial figure of her time according to Biblical texts and various references, a journey with her as my spiritual teacher awakened a sense of love and self-compassion that is undeniable.

Highlights from this episode:

- Broadening the realm of spirituality to what feels resonant rather than solely basing our beliefs on popular texts

- Understanding the teachings of various spiritual masters who went before us by going on a journey directly with them

- Honoring the sacred depths of the Divine Feminine as well as the sacred structure of the Divine Masculine

- Honoring the way of the Goddess, including some of the Goddesses that are highly revered in Hinduism including Lakshmi Mata (mother), Saraswati Mata, and Kali Mata

- Transmuting our shadows and embodying the wholeness of all that we are — even more so because of our human imperfections

- Remembering that there is a pure love that can only be accessed from inside of us

- Our remembrance of ancient wisdom — more of us are activating these dormant codes to bring our God-given and Goddess-given gifts to life at this revolutionary time

Tune into this episode to remember the divine love that is already accessible within you. Remember the powerful and beautiful being that you are. You are love.

*The book that was alluded to in this episode is Woman in Red: Magdalene Speaks by Krishna Rose.
