We traverse the emotional aftermath of betrayal, tackling the real-world issues of financial instability, the sharp pangs of loneliness, and the daunting battle with insecurity.

Resources like "Healing the Heart from Infidelity" and "Where Healing Wants to Be" are introduced to support your journey. Moreover, we address the delicate topic of infidelity within Black households, advocating the necessity of fostering emotional transparency and healthy discussions on betrayal with our children.

Our latest episode is a testament to that pivotal moment, packed with raw stories of transformation and insight. We navigate through the highs and lows of personal growth, intertwining lessons of self-love with the undeniable impact of choice and resilience. From the wake-up call of getting expelled from a school district to finding solace in an African-centered education, I share how these experiences carved out a path to a deeper understanding of identity and purpose.Let's talk about the lifelines we cling to in our darkest moments and the strength we find when prioritizing our well-being. Self-care isn't just a buzzword—it's the foundation from which we can build the courage to support and uplift those around us. I recount a personal moment of clarity mid-flight with my infant daughter, which hammered home the critical need to secure our own 'oxygen masks' before we can save others. With each story of mentoring juvenile probationers and empowering them through mentorship, we celebrate the ripple effect of investing in ourselves and the lasting change it can ignite within our communities.Finally, we reflect on the soul's journey through the arts, drawing parallels between a vocalist's struggle with acoustics and the universal quest for environments that let us shine. In sharing the challenges of navigating through spaces that don't align with our spirit, we uncover the courage to step away and the self-awareness required to preserve our essence.

WELCOME TO THE AFTER PARTY - the party after the show!Have you ever felt a gentle nudge from within, guiding you toward an answer that defies logic? That's the intuitive whisper that transformed Akyiaa Azula's acupuncture practice, and it's what we're talking about today. As she peeled back the layers of her patient's health concerns, her success rate improved—not by relying on textbooks, but by trusting the insights that seemed to emerge from the ether. Akyiaa shares how her internal conflicts, between the rigor of scientific research and the elusive nature of intuition, played out in real-time.Imagine a scenario where your liver, in a voice uncannily like your own, tells you exactly what it needs to heal. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, right? But that's the reality Akyiaa encountered, and in this episode, she dives into these bizarre but enlightening experiences. She also discusses the delicate art of passing this craft onto her students, encouraging them to step into their patients' shoes and listen to stories that can only be told through the body's language. The intersection of intuition and medicine is a strange crossroads, but it leads to profound healing.Wrapping up, she guides us outside the treatment room and into the broader picture of community and purpose in the world of acupuncture and beyond. We consider how the internet has allowed us to forge bonds that stretch across continents, and what that means for the evolution of the healing arts. From gender dynamics in the business of wellness to the intricacies of ethical communication in healthcare, this episode is a tapestry of the personal, the professional, and the deeply human aspects that intertwine within the journey of a healer.CONTACT:[email protected]:INSTAGRAM: @AzulaCreationFACEBOOK: Akyiaa Azulahttps://www.facebook.com/akyiaa.azula?mibextid=LQQJ4dYOUTUBE: Akyiaa Azula__________________________________________________________________FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HELPCall for more information on domestic abuse or to get help for yourself/someone you love. Bethany House1-888-80HELPS  1-888-804-3577The National Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799- SAFE1-800-799-7233 __________________________________________________________________Follow Confident You Podcast:INSTAGRAM and FACEBOOK @marionswinglerINSTAGRAM @confidentyou_podcastLike, Share, SubscribeConfident You PodcastBrought to by Inheritance of Praise Global Production LLC IOPraise

Her story is one of resilience, transformation, and the pursuit of a childhood dream amidst the most challenging of life's transitions. You'll hear how her love for poetry and hip-hop, inspired by greats like Amanda Gorman and Maya Angelou, has shaped her understanding of the world and propelled her into the literary limelight.Our conversation takes a pivot to confront the pervasive 'superwoman' myth, discussing the vital role self-care plays in breaking down this unrealistic expectation. She opens up about her personal transformation, revealing that true self-care transcends facials and fitness regimes—it's about engaging in activities that connect with our inner joy and balance. You'll get a glimpse into the powerful simplicity of self-care practices, from writing and painting to the community spirit of double Dutch. These moments of joy are not just about the individual but about building a robust community that supports mental health and well-being.As we wrap, you're invited to reflect on the profound gratitude we owe to those in military service. This chapter of our discussion underscores the importance of saying, "Thank you for your service," a small but significant gesture to acknowledge the immense sacrifices made by servicemen and women. Furthermore, we look to the future with aspirations of creating spaces for retreat and the brave act of sharing one's creative voice with the world. Maureen's journey from guarding our nation to penning her soul's language will leave you inspired, appreciative, and perhaps even a little more creative than before.Books Available On:Amazon, Goodreads, Google Books, BARNES & NOBLE, Legacy, BOOKBAR, ThriftbooksFind and Follow onLinkedin:Maureen MaysInstagram:author_maureen_maysFacebook:Author Maureen Mays______________________________________________________Follow Confident You Podcast:INSTAGRAM and FACEBOOK @marionswinglerINSTAGRAM @confidentyou_podcastLike, Share, SubscribeConfident You PodcastBrought to by Inheritance of Praise Global Production LLC IOPraise
