I’m your host Krista Xiomara and this podcast was created as an audio community for anyone who is on the "Path."

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for all the listeners and global following this podcast has created over of the last seven and half years it’s been on the air.
It is with a full heart and open mind that I bid farewell to my baby—I’m Awake! Now What? Podcast. It started as a place for me to build community and resonance with like-minded seekers and aspirants who were looking for answers to the deep questions. And rebels on their way to chart a new path and new Earth.
My intention was to create a community for people who had left their religion of origin, identified as spiritual or non-religious but whose shared goal was to become better human beings and create a better world, through self-exploration, personal development, and healing.
Our world view and experience of the divine has been shifting and changing over the last 50 or more decades. We no longer require or want a mediator to connect to God anymore. Many of us are returning to earth-based practices and intuitive self-knowing to cultivate our relationship and connection to God, Source, The Divine. This podcast has been a place where people could come and explore their own divinity and connection to divine, without structure, dogma, judgment, or instruction.

Their mission: To create healing, connection, conversation and change between these diverse groups. Dr. Gena Minnix and I discuss the etymology of the word "homosexual" and how its origin and intention could have been mistakely applied in modern Christian culture, and most likely was meant to protect young boys.

Hello Sweet Souls and welcome back to Week 6 of the podcast Summer Series with your host Krista Xiomara, who has created a free 8-Week learning course called "Releasing Religion, Inner Healing, and Coming Home to Yourself." Week 6 is about Finding Your Truth. When we are birthed into our religion of origin we are not given the opportunity or space to connect with ourselves and decipher what is true about us and the world around us. Often times, we are told that we are born inherently flawed through original sin. We are taught from an early age what to think, what to feel, what to believe, how to act, what to fear, and what to love. Finding your Truth, is an unbecoming and unraveling of yourself to uncover the truth about yourself so that you can connect more deeply with yourself and your connection to all that there is.
This week my focus is to help you:
- Determine for yourself what your truth is
- Determine what your belief systems and core values are outside of religious or societal influence
- Nurture you in gaining the confidence and grace to speak your truth to your ecosystem and most importantly to yourself

Hello Sweet Souls and welcome back to Week 4 of the podcast Summer Series with your host Krista Xiomara, who has created a free 8-Week learning course called "Releasing Religion, Inner Healing, and Coming Home to Yourself." Week 4 centers around the process of Inner Healing, by way of facilitating self-healing and finding healing from external sources if available to you. We require healing both from the trauma and wounding of our religious experiences and the trauma and wounding we incur by leaving. This week my focus is to help you experience inner healing and to ask for what you need from those who have wounded you. Healing sometimes is a singular process and cannot be a shared experience. I also help you address how to find healing, when you are doing it alone. * Self-Healing

Welcome back sweet souls to Week 3 of the Summer Series: "Releasing Religion, Inner Healing, and Coming Home to Yourself." Week 3 is centered around Embracing Uncertainty. Growing up in a strict Catholic home and community; my religious experience indoctrinated within me a strong sense of certainty, about everything. In religious experiences you are given a lot of absolutes and a lot of certainty. You know what your life is supposed to be, who you are supposed to love, what you are supposed to believe (and not believe), who you are supposed to marry, you know "right and wrong" and you know (usually without a shadow of doubt) what will happen to you when you die if you lived a "good" life. This week my focus is to help you embrace the uncertainty of:
- Not knowing
- Figuring out what you believe in
- Trusting yourself
- Being unafraid to face fear
- Unlearning
- Creating practices and space for you to find happiness and stability in your new life.

Hello Sweet Souls!! This week marks the 100th episode of I'm Awake! Now What? Podcast in which case where ever this episode finds you join us in celebrating this important milestone in the history of the podcast!!!
Welcome back to Week 2 of the Summer Series: "Releasing Religion, Inner Healing, and Coming Home to Yourself" with your host Krista Xiomara Week 2 is all about Doubt and Walking Away from your religion of origin. Krista Xiomara discusses the process of beginning to doubt what you are taught and how questioning is a healthy step in the process of walking away. She navigates the listeners through examples of how doubt began to arise in her religious experience. She shares a wounding story that took her away from herself and how this particular moment in her church community taught her to be dishonest in the face of a community that was preaching honesty in parallel. This is one of many contradictions she would confront in her life with Catholicism. She provides practical steps to walk away, ideas for what kind of support you may need and reminds the listener to trust themselves along the whole process. Please head over to YouTube for a video production of this episode and follow along with Krista Xiomara's powerpoint presentation
