FEEL GOOD The Podcast Hosted by Malika Lee: Recent Episodes
Malika Lee
Let's be real. Being an adult isn't always as easy as we thought it would be! Often, we experience things that are challenging, complicated and even though we're not equipped for it we sometimes pretend or think we should have ALL the answers. However, many experiences are shared by others and don't have to be trial by fire!
FEEL GOOD The Podcast created and hosted by @MsMalikaLee is a lively, thoughtful, and engaging multi-platform offering (podcast & some videos) aimed to support listeners in feeling good or at least feeing better. Each show features people who have navigated hard stuff with resilience and buoyancy of Spirit (exp. death of a loved one, facing fears, dating, changing careers, addiction, etc.) as well as other topics that are essential to feeding and nurturing feeling good (exp. creative writing, meditation, & forgiveness). It is intended to support joyous, well-rounded, and informed adults "To Be The Change They Want To See" in a fun, inspiring, and accessible way.
For over 20 years Malika Lee has and continues to be a seeker & student of Transformation & Self-Actualization. In addition she is a Soul Consultant, Facilitator of Freedom and Fulfillment, Public Speaker, & Creative who has made it her mission to LIVE WELL and aims to support others in doing the same.
Recognizing our ability as powerful creators and manifestors seems to be taking the front seat in Spiritual circles and conversations. However, in this episode, host Malika offers from her experience that there's more to the Spiritual path than making Source your own personal genie in a bottle. She offers a component to awakening to and experiencing more of one's powerful and unlimited nature on the Spiritual path which can be perceived as directly opposed to the intention behind manifestion; comfort.
Recently my mind was blown after speaking to a fellow creative. Years ago I'd had a challenging experience on a film set and told myself it probably would've been different if only... Well from the conversation the creative I realized that was a lie! As part of the power series. Enjoy.

In the previous episode, I mentioned different examples of growing to stand in my power and 3 women who recently tested my resolve. The following day after the dust settled from the experience with the service provider, the Holy Spirit used it to teach me a valuable lesson that I wanted to share this teachable moment.

As we grow and change, we shake things up and things that we may have let go before aren't OK with us letting go now. In this episode as part of the Coming Into Your Power series, Malika details 3 recent examples of women who were trying to exert power over her or others in various ways.
She gives examples how she was still able to keep it cute (for the most part) while honoring herself and setting boundaries with the other.

I just had a bit of a trying morning but am so grateful that with the help of some great conversations, I feel buoyant and content again. Then this message came to and through me to share. How wonderful it is to experience and remember the impact we can have on lifting someone's spirits & brightening their day (& our choice to brighten our own day).
Although I thanked the 2 people that made a difference for me today in real time, I guess this is a way to pay it forward and infuse good energy in the ecosystem in gratitude.
If you get that nudge to call that friend you haven't spoken to or offer a smile to a stranger today, consider doing it! It may not just be for them, it may bless you too.
In the last episode for the month, for context of why I take the last month off for rest & integration listen to the Rhythm episode here: https://feelgood.libsyn.com/are-you-in-tune-with-your-personal-rhythm
I'm reading this message from a Spiritual text called, A Course In Miracles. It really struck me & I answered to call/invitation to share. I hope it blesses you as it did me. #Goodthingsarebettershared

To close out Point 5 on Rest, Malika invites you to call upon your lived experience of a mandated rest period (for most of us...Thank you essential workers) during Covid. It was an uncomfortable and uncertain time for many of us but what were the benefits you got from that time of sitting down somewhere? Do you still see the seeds you planted in your life then, flourishing now? Are you still in alignment?
If you would like support with aligning your life to your greater purpose & heart's desires...

Similar to step 3, Answering The Call which is about faith & courage in the world, this step is the feminine counterpart and requires just as much faith & courage to turn inside & face our fears, hurts, and emotional wounds.
This point is the work required to release baggage that keeps us from being the loving, kind, caring, and compassionate beings we were created to be.

Benefits to answsering calls include aliveness, being of service, getting unstuck, saving time, building confidence, and much more.

While we've been exploring the 5 points & practices of being a Spiritual Shining Star, we go back in time to explore how we got here. How did we get here to these 5 points? For Malika this discovery and uncovering traces back to age 11, genesis of the 5 points. From this story we also talk about how to identify our gifts, including Spiritual gifts, and how it may require turning lemons to lemonade.

This episode explores the recently released indie film Origin by Ava DuVernay. This is not a film review but instead considers the benefits of both what the film as well as the book that it was inspired by, Caste by Isabel Wilkerson tackle.
We cannot transcend the hurdles on our path unless we recognize them. And both the book and film do a great job at shining a light on the social and psychological hurdles many bump up against.
I mentioned the huge benefit of being exposed to these social constructs my 1st year in college. If you'd like to support a young person to see this film, please check out Ava's website offered here, to make a contribution towards their ticket.

Rhythm is good for more than just dancing. It is the background music to everything from nature and music to our favorite scene in a movie; it sets the tone. Not being attuned to our personal rhythm can lead to experiences of being discordant and off beat with ourselves, a task, and/or our surroundings. Can you hear your rhythm or is it drowned out by external schedules and expectations?
In celebration of Dr Martin Luther King Day, this episode explores a few parallels observed between Dr King and Jesus, namely the type of leadership they modeled.

I haven't formally introduced the system of the 5 points to being a Spiritual Shining Star and I will. But for right now, we are jumping in to explore one of the five points. REST. Rest is generally not valued by the American society of go-go-go. Yet, this true story exemplifies the importance of rest / surrender / being still. In previous episodes we've explored the attributes of the feminine energy and touched on the masculine energy and how both are needed to "answer the inner call" and fulfill your life purpose and work.
In my 5 point system, rest is the feminine expression of FAITH and TRUST.

In previous episodes we've explored the attributes of the feminine energy and touched on the masculine energy and how both are needed to "answer the inner call" and fulfill your life purpose and work. As a case study, in this episode I discuss Harriet Tubman as what I call a Gladiator of the Heart embodying and expressing the Light/healthier side of both the masculine (gladiator) and feminine (heart) energy.
It is my theory/thesis that all notable, change agents of Good/God throughout history also shared their unique alchemy of healthy, Heart Centered feminine & masculine energy.

Warm greeting dear one. In the patriarchy sometimes men can take things for granted. Most books default to referring to the reader as "he." Often times men are not aware of invited to face that same thing in books when the default is "she" or "they". This is one of the things my friends, we call privilege. So, with that I wanted to explicitly state brothers are welcome here. And we need our males, they/them, and females to value the feminine energy alike. If you are a spiritual seeker & about that life, welcome! We need you! : )

Why did she spend so much time talking about the feminine energy and how it operates? What does that have to do with answering inner calls? In this episode we answer those questions and how having an understanding and healthy respect for the feminine energy is having a healthy respect and willingness to take heed to and recognize your soul's calls to you.

This isn't the normal commentary about the show, we know Beyonce is going to serve & leave it all on the stage. To be honest, I went to be inspired & feel joy. I was surprised when I didn't feel joy at all. I had to spend time unpacking why which is what I explore here.
In episode I talk about life being a classroom and our varying and shared experiences. Check it out if you haven't listened to it. Anyway, I build on that idea here and look at both the blessings and challenges of the curriculum shared by women of the African diaspora whether you are Beyonce or Keshia trying to be her best self at the medical clinic she works at.
Rounding out the 3 part intuition series, I offer a personal specific example of when I answered the inner call, that still small voice, and didn't get the outcome I expected or wanted. There was definitely a period of confusion and uncertanity. However, once everything unfolded, it was just what my soul needed.

Continuing with the theme and exploration of the value of the feminine energy and its gifts in the previous episode, it felt only right to insert here an exploration of how times are changing as it relates to the feminine energy & women. This change as it relates to women, money, power, and toxic masculinity are reflected by recent news about Cassie and Diddy.

How you end one thing is how you start the next. Keeping that type of energy, it felt right to pull the curtain back and share the inspiration about the name FEEL GOOD before the new name is announced. Whether something feels good or not is important information!
I want to thank all the past guests and you, the listeners of Feel Good The Podcast. I look forward to sharing more inspiring and empowering content as the journey continues under the new name, announced soon. : )
In this episode we explore the case for why we should value and listen to our intuition and how it is a woman's super power in contrast to a man's super power of being physically stronger compared to most women. There is also a movie recommendation that exemplifies the power of our intuitive sense that will be explored in the next episode.
In the intro episode I quoted Oprah's phrase, "Life is a classroom." In this episode we take out the canvas and paint an analogy likening our life classrooms to sitting in traffic. Our lives and experiences could be just as layered, dynamic, and varied as this. But the deeper question is, what has it taught you so far?

In the previous episode I mentioned that I've been changing and feel called to change some things on this platform too. Oprah has said, "Life is a classroom." I plan to do a deep dive all centered around this context of our daily lives through the lens of Spirituality, Psychology, Urban Philosophy and so muh more. I invite you to join me on this journey that is intended to lead to transformation, liberation, and joy.
Any perfectionists or former perfectionists here? This short reflection is modeling a lesson I'm moving through in real time; moving forward and sharing before I feel "ready" or before everything is in place and things are "perfect" or at least more put together.
As I've been experiencing a deep inner renovation, these changes impact me (obviously) and those around me whether other humans, projects I'm a part of, etc. This podcast is no exception. Things are a changing & I wanted to pull back the curtain and share a bit even if those things are still in flux & in process (i.e. a bit messy).

Guest Angela Amias, LCSW, is a trauma informed relationship therapist. We discuss the loneliness epidemic and her lessons learned in healing her own relationship trauma as well as those of the many clients she's worked with.
Along with her partner, Daniel Boscaljon, PhD, they have distilled learnings of trauma responses in relationships to 5 relationship archetypes. These archetypes provide insight into the patterns we default to in navigating the relationships that matter most and how to transcend them to be authentic and still feel connected. Lastly, we talk about the essential ingredients of a nurturing connection.

A Course In Miracles has been a great presence in my life that I often don't talk about. Over the years I've read many books, taken courses, gone to therapy, and much more. Of all those things, I attribute The Course to answering many unanswered questions I've had for a long time and it has given me a greater Spiritual context to live each day in; one that is empowering and helped me feel more loving and peaceful as I practice it over time. It has been such a private journey for a long time and recently I've felt inspired to share its teachings combined with my teaching style and personal experiences in a way I've never seen. Intrigued?

When the dominant group expresses anger it is usually respected as an expression of power. But that same anger is usually discouraged, undermined, and/or disregarded when it is expressed by an oppressed group. In patriarchal societies, for many centuries women have been socialized to ignore, suppress, or discount their feelings/anger/needs to keep the peace.
My three female guests all managed to go against the grain and keep a relationship with their anger. We discuss their challenges, learnings, and the gifts of sometimes being an angry woman!
