Greetings!This episode is all about that habit we don’t even realize we have sometimes: saving the good stuff for ‘later.’ The gifts, the perfumes, the candles, the moments… all tucked away like we’re still rationing joy. This episode discusses about where that possibly comes from, why we do it, and what shifts the moment we decide we’re the occasion today. If you’ve been saving pieces of your life for a future version of you, this one’s going to give you freedom. Tune in🎧♡xoxoxo,Amayah Monáe

Let’s just do it when we need to do it, feel it when we need to feel it, and transmute it when we need to transmute it in healthy ways so our body doesn’t pay the cost. The full moon in Leo on February 1st calls us to face our anger head on instead of shaming ourselves for it. This energy is heart-centered, bold, and asks us to truly feel it. Our anger is sacred and divine when it needs to be. It is a warning before rage has the potential to take over💖.

Greetings! Have you ever had a platonic connection in the past where you felt like you eventually had to walk on eggshells around that person, even though at one point you felt connected? With the influence of the Capricorn New Moon, we are talking about how sometimes we meet people and although they deeply are shifting for seasons and give us things we needed at the time, some people just aren’t meant to walk the whole path with us. Instead of being mad and bringing that energy into new connections, I offer a new perspective. We explore being able to move on from those past dynamics without resentment, why those dynamics can feel so shifting so quickly, and more from a lens of pure growth. Tune in!🎧✨Xoxo, Amayah Monáe

Greetings, What if it’s possible that the prayer or what we asked for has landed but we need to hone our peripheral and our perspective in order to recognize when they are presented. Plus sometimes sabotaging and other factors play a part in this, we get into it on this episode♡. As we get into the darkest part of the year (admittedly one of my favorite times), it's more potent than ever to have our eyes open to what's in front of us sometimes. This is the second episode of xoxo, bestie. It's like chatting with that long-distance friend on the phone.Tune in for summer fruit analogies and more as we examine our relationship with our desires🎧✨! Xoxo, Amayah Monáe

Greetings! Today’s episode is about gaining clarity, speaking our truth, the deep healing power of being truly seen by another and expressing our truth, lack of communication serving as a block in relationships (women friendships too), and more. So many times pride and ego gets in the way and we can ruminate in our minds and come to conclusions that may be based on illusion. Sometimes bringing things into the open to the opposite party sets the tone for healing to take place. I mean, can I keep it real? Tune in! 🥰🎧Connect with me via monaesmusings.com anytime!

Greetings!How many times have you been hard on yourself because you should've known better? Or have you ever punished your body for simply being a body that does bodily things (hello being mad at the menstrual cycle)?

Greetings!What if you don’t need another sign? You don’t *need* another sign but if you did, this is it! Signs are beautiful divine nudges that come just when we need it.

Today’s episode talks about holding out for a sign to live, getting out of the exhausting, constant “sign trap”, and believing in ourselves to take action despite what the sign says! ♡Tune in and let’s laugh about the signs around us and the power in using them as a detached ally, instead of the source of our good. Thank you for being here - seriously!🫂xoxoxoxo, Amayah Monáe
