We are back and we’re better, people, like that Bryson Tiller quote. Season 5 of the Black Girl In Om podcast is cultivating energetic and spiritual conversations that speak to deeper aspects of our healing journeys as black womxn and as multifaceted spiritual beings.

At this moment in human history, in global history, BGIO is honing in on the value of vulnerability. Our founder, Lauren Ash, opens episode one acknowledging the generative nature of sharing her story as a catalyst for healing, for awakening, and for connection.

It begins with a birthday in Barbados. As we’re soothed by the transient visuals of turquoise tropics, beauty, and Oshun energy, Lauren’s story transports us to a place where clarity reigns and imagination meets intention. Listen as she walks us through her return to self and her return home, physically and spiritually, by being crystal clear on what she needs. What is deserved. Every single moment that we breathe, we have access to every single thing that we need.

When you’re clear on what you need, you’re signaling to God, you’re signaling to the Universe, you’re signaling to all of your guides in life, and to your highest self, that you’re willing to receive just that. If you’ve ever wondered what it means to be unconditionally loved and supported, this episode tangibly defines it. Get into it.

A message from our host: To me, what we’re cultivating at BGIO is an energetic and spiritual conversation. I can sense and I can feel your precedence, and it is to you individually and collectively that I am speaking to, that our guests are speaking to. I see you and I honor you.

Season 5 is taking on a markedly more spiritual tone. We’re going to be having conversations that speak to deeper aspects of our healing journeys as multifaceted spiritual beings.

Clearly aware, in ways that I haven’t been before, about the importance of the conversations we are having here given this moment in human history, in global history.

I am excited to start season 5 with opening up about my personal journey at this moment in time because I have discovered this year 2020 more than ever before the value of vulnerability, the generative nature of sharing my story as a catalyst for healing, for awakening and for connection.

Begins with a birthday in Barbados, series of fortunate and serendipitous events, speaking at a mindfulness retreat. Divinely able to celebrate birthday on this beautiful island. I had been calling in greater clarity around the next steps in my life, I had been sensing ways in which I was being led to re-clarify my values.
