Explicit The Codie Lea Show Codie Lea My deepest desire is to help connect you to your inner wisdom. We are wise and powerful beyond measure, but so often we put ourselves last, take care of everyone and everything else first, and then eventually, maybe, spend time listen to our truth, our voice, our heart. In the process we judge ourselves, tear ourselves down, struggle with our own enoughness while trying to stay small, be quiet, and keep safe. Our truth, our wisdom, it is within us at all times, accessible and available, and extremely powerful. Are you ready to meet the wisdom within you? Explicit Becoming Lit AF Ann Fancy You know those deep conversations you have late at night when your guard is down and everyone is just letting the truth spill out? Let's get down and dirty and talk about real life, what it means to awaken, the ugly truth of the challenges we face, and how we navigate them. Let's unravel the conditioning, limiting beliefs, and bullshit that keeps us from creating our most meaningful and wakeful life. Let's delve in deep with others as they walk us through their path, their trials, and tribulations and follow the breadcrumbs that led them to create a meaningful, soulful life. This experience we call life is a winding, bumpy, and sometimes challenging road, especially if you are on the path of becoming more conscious, wakeful, contemplative, and purposeful. I want to talk about it.We will share stories and insights that inspire us all to keep rising up into powerful, purposeful, soulful lives while we navigate the mess, the noise, and the darkness.
