The Spiritual Realest

In this episode of The Spiritual Realest , I’m talking about ego, identity, control, and the way pride can disguise itself as love, loyalty, purpose, or protection. Using patchouli as the grounding oil of this episode, I reflect on how ego can take over when we attach our identity to a relationship, a role, or an image we are afraid to release. I share a deeply personal story about toxic love, con...

In this episode of The Spiritual Realest, I’m having an honest conversation about religion, power, and what many of us were taught to believe without question. I talk about the difference between being taught God and being taught religion, and how fear-based beliefs have shaped the way we see ourselves, our desires, our ancestors, our worth, and our relationship with the divine. This episode is no...

In The Peace in the Pause , I’m reflecting on the season when COVID forced me to stop, breathe, and finally confront the exhaustion I had been pushing through for years. After running a restaurant, overworking my body, and trying to force the next move, the pause became uncomfortable, emotional, and necessary. This conversation is about stillness as more than rest. It can be redirection. It can be...

In this episode of The Spiritual Realest , I’m talking about freedom in a deeper way. Juneteenth is not just a date on the calendar. It is a reminder of what happens when people are kept bound by evil intentions, lack of knowledge, and systems that benefit from them not knowing they are already free. But that kind of bondage did not stop in the past. A lot of us are still mentally, spiritually, em...

What happens when you believe something is supposed to happen, but every step forward feels like another delay? In this episode, I talk about faith, frustration, waiting, and the uncomfortable space between knowing something is meant for you and actually seeing it show up. For a long time, I thought faith was simply believing. What I eventually learned is that faith often asks something of us in r...

Most people think sex is only about pleasure or procreation. But we know it's much deeper than that. I'm diving into the spiritual practice of sex magic—the intentional use of sexual energy to manifest the life you desire. From love and healing to purpose, abundance, and personal transformation, we'll explore how sexual energy can become a powerful tool for creation when it's g...

In this episode, I sat down and responded to some of the comments, questions I've gotten on social media around spirituality, religion, ancestors, authenticity, and the way people react when someone chooses to think differently. We talked about everything from Miss Cleo and spiritual gifts to Christianity, the Bible, ancestral connection, and why so many people struggle to let others walk the...

This episode is deeply personal. I’m talking about what happens when God forces you to release a version of yourself that once brought you success, validation, purpose, and applause. For me, that was owning a restaurant that became a cornerstone in the community before COVID changed everything overnight. I share the grief of losing something we built with our own hands, the pressure of carrying la...

For a long time, I thought discernment meant constantly being on guard. Watching people closely. Feeling every shift in energy. Preparing myself for disappointment before it even arrived. But over time, God showed me that discernment is not fear. In this episode, I open up about what it means to truly evaluate the spirit instead of reacting from anxiety, confusion, or emotional overwhelm. I share...

In this deeply personal episode of The Spiritual Realest , I open up about what it felt like growing up with spiritual gifts while carrying the pressure of being a minister’s child, battling guilt, hiding my sexuality, and trying to survive under the weight of religion and expectation. For years, I believed I had to choose between being authentic and being connected to God. I share my experiences...

Grief doesn’t always come from loss in the way we were taught to recognize it. Sometimes it shows up in the quiet spaces… in friendships that fade without conflict, in identities we outgrow, and in versions of ourselves we had to release to become who we are today. In this episode, I open up about the subtle forms of grief we don’t always acknowledge—the kind that doesn’t come with closure, but st...

In this episode of The Spiritual Realest , I take you into a deeply personal and honest conversation about what it really means to question your faith and why that doesn’t make you less connected to God, but possibly closer. I begin by grounding us in intention and energy, creating space for clarity, truth, and alignment. From there, I open up about my journey as a pastor’s kid, raised in the chur...

Grief is not limited to death, and in this episode I open up about the kinds of loss that often go unrecognized or unspoken. I share how I have experienced grief through unmet desires, ended relationships, identity shifts, and the quiet sacrifices I made to meet expectations that were never truly mine. I talk about what it felt like to let go of a path I deeply wanted, walking away from a long-ter...

What does it really mean to embrace duality? In this episode of The Spiritual Realest , we dive deep into the truth about duality, self-acceptance, and spiritual growth. Too often, we are taught to only show our “light” side while suppressing the parts of us that are protective, reactive, or powerful. But real healing comes from accepting both. Using the powerful example of the yarrow plant, which...

This episode is personal. I’m sharing the beginning of my Ifa journey. Not from a place of having all the answers, but from a place of obedience, curiosity, and truth. This is me being honest about what I’ve felt, what I’ve questioned, and what I’m learning as I take these first steps. For a lot of people, Ifa is misunderstood. It’s been mislabeled, judged, and spoken on without real knowledge. I’...

I grew up in a Pentecostal home, deeply rooted in Christianity, prayer, and tradition. And while I will always be grateful for that foundation, I knew early on that I had questions. Questions about God, about spirituality, and about whether there was more beyond what I was taught in church. In this first episode of The Spiritual Realest, I’m speaking my truth. I’m sharing how my spiritual journey...

In this episode, I’m clearing the air on something that has been misunderstood for generations. Hoodoo versus Voodoo. I grew up hearing these words used interchangeably, often tied to fear, myths, or things that were never fully explained. But the truth is, while both have African roots and carry deep ancestral power, they are not the same. And understanding that difference matters. I walk you thr...

My mask is coming off and I’m inviting you into my real journey. Not the version of spirituality that looks good on the outside, but the one I live through as I learn, unlearn, and grow into who I truly am. “Peel it back… get to the truth… find your way home.” This space is honest and judgement free. It is me choosing to be both heavenly minded and grounded in real life at the same time. If you ha...
