This episode we’re kicking off the start of a new, fresh theme! We’re dubbing this month our ‘Sophie month’ because we’re exploring all things Sophie — from the moon to intuition to mental health to physical health and spirituality! We’re going to be joined by some of Sophie’s favorite humans that inspire her, lift her up, and have taught her some invaluable lessons that she wants to share with all of you!
So let’s just jump into it! In today’s episode, we’ve invited on our first guest, Sheleana Aiyana — an incredible leader and an inspiration to us both! Sheleana is the co-founder of Rising Women on Instagram (which has over 1.4 million followers as of recording)! She and her partner, Rachel Obscura, have fostered a beautiful community around their work and have created an incredible platform for women to talk about conscious relationships, self-realization, self-awareness, shadow work, and inner-child work.
We’re so excited that Sheleana is joining us today to share some of her wisdom with all! In this episode, we talk a lot about anxiety around the current situation happening in the world and we share some different rituals and practices so that you can use this time as an opportunity for growth rather than stagnation.
