She's So Lucky

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.I also talk about… My experiences with manifestation from childhood to now. How to adequately prepare for your manifestations while you’re waiting for them to come through. The importance of divine timing and being clear on what is and isn’t for you. Practices that have helped me manifest. Why understanding your human design can help you become a more powerful manifestor.

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.

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.Listen to the episode below!WE ALSO TALK ABOUT… Yoga being the key to our collective freedom.

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 ALSO TALK ABOUT… The history of the Akashic Records How we can communicate with the Akasha Why wellness should be messy and imperfect How communicating with the Akashic Records can help with anxiety RESOURCES: Brit Starr’s Akashic Higher Self Meditation Brit Starr’s Getting into the Akashic Records eBook Rohini of Magic Inclined channeled an Akashic Tap-In, which Brit use to access the Records for herself and clients.

Did you know that yoga is so much more than stretching and moving through poses? Spoiler: that’s just one limb of yoga - and there are eight. We’ve talked a lot about finding stillness, peace, making connection to the breath, and flowing into your creativity. And that all sounds so simple, but finding ways to reframe our relationship to our inner and outer world is such a game-changer.For me, yoga helped me open my eyes to the ways I can be present with myself and tune into my own form of balance. I’ve just completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training, and it’s taught me a lot about mindfulness and the gift it is to be one with yourself. In this episode, I’ll be sharing my journey into yoga and the lessons that I’ve learned so you can carry them with you without having to pick up the practice if you don’t want to.And bonus - Dive into the Reframing the Reset Challenge!

It’s interesting how inspiring this conversation is, when one of the points we explore is how fleeting inspiration can actually be. Living a life full of creativity is something so many of us desire for ourselves, but when we depend on timelines and expectations in life, the rush to be something becomes a roadblock if you let it define what you’re able to accomplish. To live the life we want, we have to understand that flowing in creativity is going to look different for everyone. And finding what works for you requires nurturing and connecting to our inner, authentic truth.Arielle Estoria is a multi-hyphenate creative - a poet, artist, author, and actor - with a passion for making women feel at home in their own bodies.

Over the past year or so, I’ve become impassioned with menstrual health and learning all the ways menstruating impacts my well-being.

As you know, here at BBG we believe wellness is so much more than having a fitness routine (or ritual). It’s just one part of the picture. So when we can start to measure our progress by how good we feel instead of a number on the scale, we’re taking our power back with movement. Before we dive full-on with a new fitness program, let’s get clear on what fitness is actually for, the benefits we’re going after, and how to make movement a joyful part of life.We’re joined by Lauren Leavell, a fitness coach and instructor who focuses on weight neutrality and finding comfort and joy in building a movement practice.And bonus - Join us for the Reframing the Reset Challenge!
