ASPIRE. CREATE. INSPIRE.: Recent Episodes
Sheyna James
Aspire. Create. Inspire was a brainchild of Sheyna's back in high school when she knew she was meant to make an impact in her community and/or industry, but she wasn't sure how she'd do it until now. Aspire. Create. Inspire is a safe space for women of color to process the many layers of becoming and unbecoming. You'll hear accounts from the host, Sheyna, and guests about parenting while reparenting, going through your spiritual journey as an entrepreneur, and giving a voice to the child within.
Finally, a new episode! This year has been so busy and didn't go as planned, but one thing that is right on schedule is getting podcast episodes recorded. In this episode I'm talking about:
- A reminder of my vision around Home & family dynamics the complexity of becoming a matriarch
- Exploring generational patterns and ancestral healing with Astrology
- Creating Home includes more than just how we dress them up, it's how we design it to support our growth.

As I have been diving into Human Design, I made some observations around my family dynamics. In this episode, I’ll be speaking about what I feel is significant about having three back-to-back generations of in our Projector types in our maternal lineage. I’ll be exploring what I’m seeing as a Projector raising a Projector and what it was like being raised by a Projector. Also, the difference between having the knowledge of this different energy type and not. My intent for this episode is to share this awareness for others to have an understanding of the parent-child dynamic at play and to help them to develop their understanding of their child’s unique energetic blueprint and autonomy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sheyna-james/support
Celebrating and reflecting on making 5 years in business + what’s to come!
In today’s episode, I’m sharing some of the many ups and downs on this path of entrepreneurship so far. The symbolism of my business being officially launched on Juneteenth has been the anchor for continuing to recommit to this path each year. Join me on memory lane.
I’d love to hear your thoughts: - Does this resonate with you as an entrepreneur? - How long have you been in business?
Quote from the episode: “Throughout the journey, I’ve felt like I’d lost my way. Mostly I had this feeling because I was growing alongside my business… What I originally envisioned for my business was clouded by what was expected from someone who set out on the path to becoming an interior designer.”

In this episode, I'm sharing some of the observations and challenges I've encountered so far in my parenting and reparenting.
Raising children with such powerful tools as Astrology & Human Design allows for deeper understanding and compassion. These tools have helped me to see myself more clearly so that I can see my children clearly and do my best not to project my past conditioning onto them.
As we as parents are doing the necessary work to decondition our minds and hearts we still have to simultaneously raise our children to become well-rounded adults. There's often a conflict because the systems that dimmed our shine and harmed our psyche are still alive within our cells. Being aware and awake to the changes needed to raise our children as we re-parent ourselves is truly transformational.

In this episode, I'm reflecting on the first portion of the 90-Day Rebirth/Detox I've mentioned in my IG and newsletter-- 21 Days of Self-Love. Over the last 21 days, since November 11th, I've been working on creating small but powerful pockets of focus on my innermost needs and wants. I got to experience really impactful conversations as well as moments to really dive into my passions. With the intention of practicing self-love as compassion, holding space, and being present, I was able to see things in a new light. Self-love also came in the form of being a calm & safe space for my kids.
SOUNDBITE//QUOTE:
“We move to relieve the pressure, to gain something... but we haven't clarified the 'enough' point. Just because the energy is available doesn't mean it is sustainable to constantly pull from.”

“I feel like that was my ancestors saying, ‘you come from a long lineage but we don’t want you to be like us. You need to understand YOU so you can make this lineage… to bring a better structure to this world… the way that the world is right now is not sustainable.”

SOUNDBITE//QUOTE: “I realized one of the biggest myths of motherhood is that you have to give up everything that you want to do, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. By entering this new stage of life, you are faced with deciding what gets to be a part of your life now that you have additional responsibilities.” CONNECT: Want to stay connected?

I started walking every day— rain, snow, Sun— January 18, 2022. This practice has revealed many things to me and the intentions behind them are more than just walking— it’s freedom, it’s a meditation, it’s movement, it’s reflection, it’s being present and it’s for my overall wellness.

Re-Posting this conversation from 2020 with my dear friend and colleague, Naïka Andre. In the beginning months of the global pandemic, I started to see shifts in how I perceived and connected to home. With this new observation, I asked Naïka if I could interview her to see how she has been adjusting to the stay-at-home orders and her overall connection to home. This conversation was a piece of how Visionary Revamp started to take shape. Naika's IG: @njaInteriors Naika's Website: njainteriors.com Want to stay connected?

I’ve been exploring definitions lately as a way to piece together a deeper understanding of what words truly mean. With that in mind, I thought it would make sense to let you in on the original inspiration for the title of the podcast to help you see how it all came to be. The name came to me back in 2009 when I was a Senior in high school and it came back into my consciousness back in 2017. The journey here was divinely guided.
