The Power of Loving-Kindness with Oneika Mays

The first guest on the podcast was a VIBE!  Oneika Mays, LMT, E-RYT, is a multi-hyphenate storyteller. After a personal tragedy left her emotionally adrift, she quit her life in retail leadership to serve people at Rikers Island — and found herself. She is the author of Sit With Me: A No-BS Journey to Mindfulness and Meditation (HarperOne, March 2026) and has spent over a decade bringing wellness practices to people and communities who have felt left out, judged, and alone. Advocacy shows up in many forms, storytelling is just one of them. Shifting your internal landscape is another. Sit with us as we connect, play and move energy. Cozy up as Oneika shares the practice of metta (loving-kindness) as one form of service to self, and one beautiful way to change the world (by first changing your world within). Connect with Oneika Mays:Instagram:⁠ @oneikamays website: oneikamays.comConnect with Lisann Valentin: Instagram:⁠ ⁠@LisannValentin⁠⁠Newsletter: ⁠⁠Akashic Journaling ⁠⁠Learn more at: ⁠⁠⁠LGValentin.com⁠⁠Music/Audio Licensed by Epidemic Sound: Come Out Tonight by Vicki Vox & Adam Taal Return by EverythingVoice Over by Benjamin Noble & Erica Brookhyser
