Iâve been roaming around different areas, unable to let go and let life in again. Many MINDless relationships are starting to get the best of me as I revisit what no longer serves me. So what does it mean to revisit your past? Some would say Saturn Retrograde is an invitation to feel into the foundations of the relationships around you. Vulnerably, I would say Iâve been questioning my worth lately. The ties Iâve created to lost souls have lost their spark in me, and I guess that becomes the real tragedy I now re-grieve. I donât MIND processing as it becomes an avenue you reach when you are ready to elevate to your highest potential. So what does it mean to revisit your past? Well, iâll sit with the shadows, stand with my little and walk to my higher self all at once. This episode requires you to Powerfully Claim your MIND back. Are you ready?
Sometimes we reach a peak of healing opportunity that is simply just a viewpoint. Even having done the healing work, even feeling as though old wounds have now healed, even accomplishing some of your dreams as of right now and then losing them in the process of self-discovery, it might still feel like nothing's really changed and you're right back to where you started. Feeling a void filled with external validation only to realize â It's Time to Start Feeling, Againâ . The next mountain you climb after admiring the viewpoint is one where you are required to climb Alone But Far From Lonely. This episode is a reminder that you are not lonely nor truly alone in this journey even if it may feel as though you are.

No amount of a guilt from choices made in past relationships can disrupt anxiously our future. Nothing truly matters but there's a moment presently where you can actively decide what does. Maybe you are going through a bad break up - Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber style or maybe you mistrusted someone - Tiger Woods style. Instead of focusing on what went wrong, It's Time to Look Deep Within and ask yourself "what role did I play in my own suffering?" This episode with our guest Emerald Osagie might be a tough pill to swallow as it reminds you that every person you meet is a pure reflection of yourself that requires more peace and endless healing.

Fear is not your enemy but your driving force towards fulfilling your wildest dreams. We've all been a victim to our fears. We might accept wearing other people's masks as a shield only to realize we are being haunted by the choices we made for ourselves. WilliE, Artist/Songwriter at Roc Nation (Founded by Jay Z) and I in this episode remind you that the next time you feel fear, take your power back and make the decision to do whatever you set your mind to do. Your motto should be, "Do it scared." Because what's the worst that can happen. Lessons? That's a blessing.

Itâs time to fall in love with yourself by being your own friend, again. This requires saying goodbye to a version of yourself that no longer fits. You may find yourself withdrawing from memorable friendships that in your heart just don't feel right. Sometimes, it isn't that there's something wrong but simply your soul calling you to dig deeper and stop running from your truest potential because thereâs more of yourself you havenât yet discovered and this episode is for those who are ready to heal.
Weâve spent years as students and actually become good. So, how does 5 years feel like a tug of war? Iâve been fighting with myself for control while the judges are the ones listening to this episode today. The judges, successful or not, get to sit comfortably at my expense. She didnât make it after university. She has a degree and works minimum wage? She majored in arts, thatâs why? Â What I choose to do next, is finally up to me and maybe thatâs scary but freeing. This episodes will feel like being ok in the dark but needing a flashlight just to be sure you made the right decision and ironically this is how we Art Students feel. So I guess here's to being freely lost, confidently (post grad).
What does it mean to graduate? The obvious answer is that I am no longer a student. The ambiguity begins to highlight the fact that I am no longer on my parents care plan. The rush to settle for a part-time job to secure government care is one I want no part of. The truth is I no longer have representation which intoxicates the fact that I am deeply lost in our world. What does it mean to graduate? I am forced to feel lost, again but freely.Â
I graduated, Now what? I now walk into spaces where I am not entirely sure if I belong. Anxiety rushes through my mind so I shrink myself into a job description. Â Â But my heart urges me to keep looking for a place where the job aligns with who I have become, a woman. The founder of Saddie Baddies, Priscilla O. Agyeman teaches us a softer way to search for a workplace that serves us. If you have been scared of the unknown as you search for yourself again, then this episode is for you. Â
Ever indulged? sometimes intentional but so often impulsively⊠in things we may not truly want..to impress people we donât even like. Join us in this episode with Award-winning millennial money coach Gina Judge where we get to the root to what money means to us.
This episode brings meaning to our home. I remembered the day I closed my eyes and connected to my intuition as the sound of the waves, the chirping of the birds and the sun caressed my caramel skin. Not only was I in deep meditation but I was at home sweet home thanks to Alexa and Lisa's spiritual guidance. Â Our two Guest speakers introduce us to a world where everything is magically possible especially when we connect to our intuition. What is intuition? How can we connect to our intuition? Â Tune in and connect yours with us.
As a kid, I used to place posters of Selena Gomez down on a flat and what was supposed to be a white surface. I'd then attach dollar store-bought tape to all corners, the center, and midpoints between the corners. That was my way of dreaming and hoping for the unexpected. What if you had a dream? Â What if all you had to do to dream was to be okay with not knowing what the unexpected could be? Arielle Siegel reminds us to always expect the unexpected as she is currently recurring in Hulu's Life & Beth as Amy Schumer's friend Jen. This episode goes out to all my dreamers.Â
Even though you may never want to, sit with It. What you may ask? Sit with the tears while unclenching your jaw because when the tears dry, you stand on the other side where you find a deep and loud self-connection even if you've lost yourself endless times. Empowering Jenna Berman plants healing in our wounds where she reminds us that imperfections are what make us all unique and incredibly powerful.

"Is it Lady like to say the shit I want to say?" Kiana Ledé sang it best. Let me introduce you to Self Love with a sprinkle of Bad Bitch energy. This episode warms us for a vulnerable pep talk from your host truly, only.  I'll self-sabotage with you where bitting my tongue as a lady was the price I paid until I picked up my mic and sang about the empowerment of being a boss while the fear of being labelled as a bitch creeped up every day.
When I recorded this episode, I wasnât thinking about my past lovers but I was thinking about who have I become since. Here's to the one that did the crime and got away: It was the type of love that will forever live in my body as a reminder of how strong I truly am. Here's to the one that tried but it was too late: When I became what I loved about him, I knew I no longer loved him. In fact, I never loved him to behind with. Here's to the one, where someday someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never works out with anyone else.
This is for our boys who may have been rough around the edges but I grew up with David Duenas and BK which makes this episode personally special.  From bullying me in the hallways to laughing with me on this episode, forgiving and grieving our past selves is what bridged us together, today. If youâve ever lost yourself in high school and may have made decisions you now know better, then this one's for you.
Just because you make it in a very competitive industry, or school does not mean you are promised success. Success looks different for all and the way you enjoy the journey is what makes you successful. Hallmark Network Executive, Auna Kemp and I talk about the beauty of being an introvert in an extroverted creative industry.
We are all different, and sometimes we struggle to make a difference. Nav Parmar and I challenge listeners to remember the craziest dream, you used to dream about as a kid. Maybe, you wanted to play in the NBA. Maybe, you wanted to be a Star. Maybe, you felt a soul calling to empower 7 billion people through art, whatever it is, the ones who are passionate enough ( or crazy enough as society labels) to think they can obtain this dreams in this crazy world, are the ones that do.
Growing up, do you remember identifying with a Disney/ Nickelodeon Star who looked very similar to you? I, unfortunately, did not have the luxury of identifying with any stars that looked like me or at least shared similar features. Canadian Actress Aliza Vellani most recently touched an enormous amount of hearts for her role as Rani Singh in the Netflix series, Sweet Tooth. She and I got together to tackle Diversity, Equity and Inclusion behind the scenes of the acting industry that is often never talked about. We came to an epiphany that in the end what matters most is that we are human beings and so how could an industry categorize us into a single box when we are so beautifully complex. If this resonates with you, join us.Â
Calling all Bachelor nation because empowering Tammy from Peter's season is making waves by not only representing diversity but emphasizing inclusion for an equitable future change. In this episode, we get real about our past insecurities with our bodies, physical features, stereotypes associated with our minority status, grieving seasons of friendships and heartbreaks that ultimately shaped who we are today as empowered colourful women who speak up, naturally.
Sometimes, those who are the closest to your heart become your worst enemy. When you are struggling the most, these unhealed individuals will reveal their two faces that submerge fog in your life, meaning you will have difficulty seeing through chaos but if you close your eyes, and surrender, you find peace instead. This episode goes out to those who may find peace in chaos or those who are now wishing for peace in guilt.
Ever been on a rollercoaster? Well, the last four years of my life were quite an emotional ride. The journey in the workplace as a woman of colour is quite like a ride that elevates harsh and steep realities where diverse talents are screaming in silence. This episode invites you to be open to hearing things you don't want to hear which is a crucial step to self-growth, you don't want to miss.
The majority of our thoughts and actions are on autopilot. The problem is when weâre on autopilot for so long, we forget weâre on autopilot. Because when weâre not aware of our own life, then we no longer control itâit control us. So in this episode, the founder of 3seed training Harp Grewal and I create a space for you to be mindful of life without any attachment to it being right or wrong/good or bad.
Sometimes it feels like social media says you should always be happy, and that showing your sadness is a sign of weakness. Ciara Rose and I disagree. You're allowed to change your mind, to take a break or leave a situation you don't feel comfortable in. You are also allowed to not be okay. This episode is for those who are struggling with mental illness and/or grief, dealing with this pressure to always seem happy.
There is a common misconception that confidence is something you either have or you donât. But confidence isnât something youâre born with; itâs something you build through adversity or as I like to call it A Tower Moment. Imran Rai is back and ready to empower women about self-confidence in a social media-driven society. She shows us the light you see in her which is shining right within you. This episode is about self-assurance to reassure you in however it is needed.
The Tower card in a spiritual reading represents a moment where everything is successfully falling apart. You might unexpectedly lose yourself, lose a job, get dumped, or have a massive fallout with family or a friend. ( Can be anything) You might feel completely hopeless, completely lost and perhaps even depressed. In this episode, we learn how to identify a tower moment, or what that even looks like as someone who preaches self-love.
Itâs the oldest story we know: "One day you're single, living your best life. But then you meet someone⊠and you end up losing yourself in them.â We Self Love Loungers are good at prioritizing ourselves when it's just us. But then life comes along and steals the spotlight that we are too free to give. So, just like many of us, Marie Stella lost so much during the pandemic and found her purpose in the chaos of life and now the spotlight.Â
I am beyond thrilled to have had AnnaLynne McCord on the Self Love Lounge Podcast. I have been a huge fan of Annalynne's since her Iconic role as Naomi Clark on CW's Hit Tv Show 90210. In this episode, Annalynne and I truthfully connected on a soulful level. Annalynne opened up about her experiences of sexual trauma. Â We talk a lot about the reality that comes with healing as a spiral. In this episode, Annalynne and I get real about asking the right questions. Why are we here? Why do we matter? And the truth is, youâll find it when you are ready to find it whether it's in this episode today or 5 years from now.

Sometimes we may pretend to be somebody else and somehow we forget who we truly are. Â Now, when we do start dating or experience heartbreak, we may minimize ourselves for the convenience of others. Nadia Jagessar who runs her own event management company named Euphoria, and who's become a fan favourite throughout the first season of Netflix's newest reality dating series "Indian Matchmaking," and I talk about the importance of taking up space and never settling for anything less than what we know we truly deserve.
Burnouts happen to all of us especially when we avoid being human for too long. We try to do everything all at once which is great but impossible. Stress takes a toll on our bodies, our friendships, our relationships, and our general happiness. So if you do not pick a day to just relax and just be, then Marinna and I will pick it for you in this episode.
It is so hard to say goodbyeâuntil you actually commit to it. Sometimes you have to allow yourself to break down so you can build yourself back up. This episode is a reminder to let you know that you can't start a new chapter if you keep re-reading the last one that no longer serves you. If this resonates within your heart then this episode is for you.Â
Itâs the ability to understand emotions, thoughts and feelings within yourself and others for me. We are all aware of the inner-critic. The inner-critic is our worst self, it speaks from a place of fear we inherited from an external force. This episode reminds us that self-love at its core is free; it doesn't cost a thing, just your time and your commitment. Self-educate with us so you can self empower yourself! Â
The black Lives Matter Movement, gain an immense amount of support through social media. However, during Black History Month, Â part of the world turned a blind eye. Canadian, singer and aspiring teacher, Emerald and I create a welcoming, warm, funny and IMPORTANT conversation touching on our emotional blocks, support resources available, how to engage in uncomfortable conversations and more. As Angela Davis states in a racist society, it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist.
Everyone has lost sleep, by overthinking about their past, their present and even their future as if they could rewrite it all over again. Most of us are very hard on ourselves and still learning to forgive ourselves each night and re-committing each morning as part of a self-care practice. If you want to fall in love with taking care of yourself, then this episode is a hug from me to you.
You've questioned yourself before, related to this idea of holding space. You seem to do it naturally for others, by showing up for them but what does it mean to do it for yourself? Â Â If someone isn't able to hold space for you, find someone who will. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for us. Because we want to see the real you. If you would like to hold space for yourself then self-love with Diana and me.Â
As 2020 comes to a close, we can all acknowledge that we are currently still in a massive world awakening with COVID-19 while we STILL struggle with the implications of systemic racism and grieve murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Aumaud Aubrey and countless other black lives lost to police violence. As 2020 comes to a close, we can ALSO acknowledge that 2020 brought us all lessons learned, memories made and moments shared too. For many of us, 2020 will go down as the worst year in the living memory so tune into this special Bidding farewell to 2020!Â
If something feels off, it is. Don't convince yourself otherwise. Everyone in your life has the potential of betraying you. They may leave. They may pass away. They may cheat. They may lie. We canât count on anybody 100 percent but it does stress the importance of being able to trust the one person we know we can count on: ourselves. We all feel stuck, anxious, and disconnected at times with all the uncertainty not only in our personal life but with whatâs happening in 2020. Our guest Christine Turley and I remind you that if your instincts led you here, then this episode is for you.
Everyone puts their lives on social media, it seems like everyone is so happy & content. No one ever talks about what happens offline. Our guest Katrina Martin, writer, and artist from Vancouver talk about the challenges and the beauty of truly being alone and being comfortable with spending time alone. If you are wanting to become fine with being on your own so that you can start attracting the right people into your life because you no longer feel like you have to fill your life with people just for the sake of being around others, then this episode is for you!
Have you ever been terrified, the moment you hear something creak in your home, specifically after watching a scary movie? Do you ever question, why you get so frightened or more alert by fear of the unknown? Today, we are entering a space between what we think might be real and what we think might be not with the famous Tik Tok(er) Evelyn Juarez. We will be exploring the myths and misconceptions of  Halloween, tarot cards, physics, mediums, scary movies, spirituality, Jesus, and YOU. While we dive into these topics, we will be sharing our own personal hauntings. So, grab a spiced latte, and let's get spooky!Â
Seasonal depression has arrived; meaning days are heavier, temperatures are colder and we might even feel overwhelmed by our busy schedules and overloading deadlines. Let's change that. Lisa the Clinical Nutritionist, Functional Medicine Writer, and natural medicine advocate believes that knowledge is the first step to empowerment. If you are resonating with this, here are some tips and tricks to truly feeling healthy again.Â
The thing about stepping outside of your comfort zone is that some are born with a passionate drive - itâs like everywhere they go they just meet the right people, say or do the right things effortlessly. For others ( myself included!), it doesnât come so naturally - Not for the lack of confidence but rather because itâs hard to know where to even start. If youâre ready to show up in every moment confidently and authentically in who you are, this one is for you!

Think of Rejection as a redirection! Athlete, Certified Fitness/Life Coach, Owner, and Founder of The MP Coaching Experience, Haeley Mariah introduces a powerful conversation about forgiveness.

Haeley Mariah believes that we can break barriers and grow together, inside and out. One day at a time!Â
