Ending Generational Trauma with Epigenetics + Preparing to Conceive with Dr. Cleopatra Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

Is epigenetics the key to ending generational trauma? In this episode, guest Dr. Cleopatra shares why we have more power than we realize to change how our genes work, and which genes we can pass on to future generations.

Though we can’t change our DNA, we can change how our genes are expressed through epigenetics, the understanding of how our behaviors and environment impact our genes. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that is equal parts inspiring and informative.

Dr. Cleopatra is a scientist and tenured USC professor who pioneered the field of fertility biohacking and creating superbabies. To date, Dr. Cleopatra has scientifically studied tens of thousands of families and has helped birthing persons in 23 countries on 6 continents have their superbabies.

We also talk about…

Improving maternal health outcomes for marginalized people.
Understanding the mental, emotional, and social factors that can impact our fertility.
How to prepare for pregnancy physically and psychologically.
The Primester Protocol and creating our superbabies.
How we can prevent generational trauma from being passed down.

Show notes

In today’s episode, we’re kicking off our new life and creativity series by discussing fertility, motherhood, and birthing new ideas. Understanding reproductive health and fertility can be a complicated topic, and in this conversation, we’re talking about family planning options for those who are considering having biological children.

Our guest is Dr. Tiffanny Jones, OBGYN and reproductive endocrinologist at Conceive Fertility Center in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Tiffanny Jones became a reproductive endocrinologist because she felt connected to the impact she could have on the lives of patients looking to start or grow their families. She earned her medical degree from Meharry Medical College in Nashville, completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at LAC+USC Medical Center in Los Angeles, and completed a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

In this episode, we discuss the unique considerations Black birthing persons may want to keep in mind when trying to conceive.

We Also Talk About…

What the egg-freezing process entails, and the ideal age to begin the process.
How treatments such as IVF can help those experiencing certain fertility challenges.
How conditions such as PCOS and endometriosis can impact fertility.
Tests patients can ask for to learn more about their fertility status.
How the occurrence of fibroids impacts Black people more than other communities.

How to Be Patient While Your Manifestations Come Through + Understanding Your Manifestation Style [Solo Episode] Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever felt impatient while waiting for your manifestations to come through? Same, friend. And I’m talking all about it in today’s episode.

Though I didn’t consciously know what manifestation until my 20’s, I realized I’d been manifesting my entire life. In fact, we all have. We all have the power to manifest, and we are all constantly manifesting whether we’re aware of it or not.

And when we become aware, we’re able to intentionally tap into our manifestation power. I discuss my personal experiences learning about and understanding manifestation, some manifestations I’ve had come through, and how I’m learning to be patient and prepare for my manifestations to come through in the physical realm.

I also talk about…

My experiences with manifestation from childhood to now.
How to adequately prepare for your manifestations while you’re waiting for them to come through.
The importance of divine timing and being clear on what is and isn’t for you.
Practices that have helped me manifest.
Why understanding your human design can help you become a more powerful manifestor.

Show notes

This week on the podcast we get to have an incredible conversation on inner magic and self-acceptance with yogi, entrepreneur, author, and activist Jessamyn Stanley. Jessamyn is an internationally acclaimed voice in wellness, who is highly sought-after for her insights on 21st-century yoga and intersectional identity.

To say I’m a fan of her work is an understatement. When I first started the Balanced Black Girl podcast I had a shortlist of dream guests and Jessamyn was on that list, so this is a truly full-circle moment! Our conversation is rich and full of insights regarding what the practice of self-acceptance involves. We also chat about our respective yoga journeys and the profound lessons Jessamyn learned in her training around compassion. Being the true astrology nerd that I am we also get into a conversation on our big threes and the impact astrology has had on the way we connect with the universe and ourselves.

This episode is full of insights regarding our path to wholeness and feels like an incredible blessing.

Listen to the episode below!

126 | How to Use the Akashic Records + Embodying Imperfect Wellness with Brit Starr Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

This week we get to explore something that we haven’t really talked about in great length on previous episodes of the podcast. When it comes to Magic and Manifestation practitioners have different ways to connect and communicate with their spirit guides. One of those ways is by using the Akashic Records. You may be asking yourself, “Um... What are the Akashic Records?” This question is totally understandable and we had the same questions at the Balanced Black Girl podcast so I decided we needed to bring on an expert to share her insights and journey so far.

Brittany “Brit” Starr is a spiritualist and creator working at the intersections of modern technology and the infinite. Through her studio, Sword + Stone, she amplifies the magic of conscious businesses through divinely inspired tech services and education. She offers a unique fusion of channeled guidance, archetypal journeying, and Akashic education through her online community, The Inner Well.

We get to it all in this episode, from Brit’s journey to discovering the power connecting with the Akashic Records has, to the lessons she has learned through her interpretation of the records. As well as the ways we can use them for interpersonal development through practices of feeling our intuition, meditation, and prayer. We also chat about the messiness of spirituality and why it’s ok that our wellness journey will never be perfect.

Listen to the full episode now to learn more about this unique spiritual modality!

WE ALSO TALK ABOUT…

The history of the Akashic Records
How we can communicate with the Akasha
Why wellness should be messy and imperfect
How communicating with the Akashic Records can help with anxiety
