Episode 8: “I love (the idea of) you”
“We’re going to break in the next year with a conversation that is more centred around our heart space. Whether we’re actively seeking meaningful unions with people or even with ourselves, we’d all like to believe that we make perfect lovers. What may not be understood yet by us is how we interact with other people and entities purely as an attempt at temporarily filling the empty places in our being. In this episode I discuss some of my ideas about treating love as a skill that must be practised and how to overcome the scarcity mindset within our hearts.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/awwGugu/message

Episode 6: “Being nice is not a personality trait”
As somebody who used to describe herself as a “nice person”, I was recently inspired to reflect upon this concept of niceness. While it has served me in some ways, there are far greater ways in which being nice has not served me. Does the nice guy always finish last? There’s definitely a whole lot of truth to that and in this episode I explore why. Join this dope conversation so you can finally free yourself from the shackles of “niceness” too 😉 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/awwGugu/message

Episode 5: “Romanticizing life”
“Over the past couple of months, perhaps even years, there has been a growing trend of people actively trying to romanticize their lives. You might also know of this as the “main character syndrome/movement.” This movement aims to tackle what I think is the very obvious reality, that most people will live and die without having truly lived the reality of their dreams. If we can’t find ways to reach our dreams, why don’t we bring our dreams closer to us by romanticizing our lives. This is a super relaxed discussion, where I delve into this concept from my own perspective and with current world events considered. PS: I’ll know who actually listened to the end this time with a cute little interactive challenge. Peace and infinite blessings to you familia, enjoy!” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/awwGugu/message

Episode 4 : “Financial Feels with Onalerona Mahlare”
“ Abundance in all it’s forms is our birthright. You might feel like you’re on the right track to healing but you may want to extend that TLC to your financial well-being. We often forget that poverty is a mindset and money is simply a reflection of an energetic exchange. What grows is what you pour your energy into. Discussion is a good starting point into understanding how money works as well as how we can better manage our finances. Join my guest Onalerona Mahlare and I, as we explore the topic of monetary exchange and all things financial feels.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/awwGugu/message

Episode 3: “Pain is temporary”
“Scarification is a form of body modification that has an archaic history in indigenous cultures globally and most prevalently in Africa. If you have ever hurt yourself, mentally or physically (which I’m sure we all have) then you are familiar with the fact that healing is a process. This practice has helped our ancestors and many others to this day who are connected to it, to transform themselves from positions of victimhood to warriors. If pain is temporary, what are the eternal lessons we can learn from it?” Join me for this interesting conversation and reflection on a multifaceted practice! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/awwGugu/message

Episode 2: “Life as a mirror”
“The 7 Kemetic/Hermetic Principles, while named after the philosopher Hermes Trismegistus, are a truer reflection of the philosophies of Ancient Kemetic Spirituality and more appropriately the Ancient Egyptian God Thoth. The Tablets of Thoth are proof that we as Africans have known the power of alchemizing our lives long before Western philosophical ideas were introduced to us. In this episode, I focus on the Kemetic Law of Self-Mastery known as “The Law of Correspondance.” You might have heard that life is a mirror, but what does that mean? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/awwGugu/message
