During my time in the U.S., while fascism was intensifying, I was tuning into what conversations we need to have to go where we need to go.

And the word that kept coming up was SOVEREIGNTY.

I broke it down into 5 categories:

Economic and Financial

Personal and Individual

Energetic and Spiritual

Digital and Data

Communal and Collective

And in the episode, I go into each to provide clarity of the overarching themes you'll be addressing both personally and professionally in the Year of the Fire Horse and beyond.

I also provide a 4-level framework for how to distribute wealth (the Mycelial Map).

These nerdy musings will help you clarify your soul's work and prepare an energetic foundation for the Fire Horse.

Massive shifts are GUARANTEED.

Most people I sit down with are in deep denial about what is happening to their currency and how it's going to affect them.

In this episode, I focus on the specific mindset shift that NEEDS TO HAPPEN in order for you to position and protect yourself against inflation.

I'm sharing 4 specific assets that you need to be aware of and secure (I guarantee you'll be surprised by some of them)

This is exactly what I'm in the process of doing for myself.

I'm also giving you a preview of some changes I'm implementing in 2026.

Are you a high achieving Black woman who did all the right things, like get good grades, the degrees, the job with the income, and even the house, but still don't feel satisfied?

If your achievements never feel like enough, you're in the right place because this is Latasha Kinnard's specialty.

For this episode of the podcast, Leah Ardent and I took our daily breakfast table conversation directly to your listening ears.

The topic?

Whether AI is more FAKE or more REAL than being "authentic" online

You THINK you know where you stand with this, but you may feel different after listening

This online debate is very hot right now, mostly among women, and Leah delivers hard-to-swallow truths to the conversation that few people aren't addressing

Leah doesn't consider herself an expert in AI, but she IS an artistic intellectual with a background in sales and marketing, and has a drive to understand all the angles of the AI debate

If you're a solopreneur who's building (or thinking about building) a personal brand or

If you have a personal brand and are tired of the diminishing returns of constantly showing up online, or

If you want to start a business but don't have 10K worth of business start-up costs to invest in the business

This is going to be especially relevant to you

And yes we also talk about environmental impact

You can't outearn your identity

Your income (and/or whatever you define as success) will always calibrate to the identity you hold about yourself---your self worth, your beliefs about money, your belonging, and your safety

In this episode of the podcast I outline the 6 dimensions to increasing your identity so that you can hold more power, money, joy, i.e., YOUR LIFE FORCE ENERGY, so that you can have more impact in the world, both online and in your communities:

1.Self-awareness

2. Raising your associations

3. Expanding through experiences

4. Inner healing and trauma resolution

5. Taking radical responsibility

6. Vision and values alignment

I know you're going to hear something that's going to shake things up in a good way!

In the 2nd half of my talk with Nadja Shafton Marks, transformative artist and creative mystic, she shares how to silence the inner critic and how to get PAID for your art.

What she said was like a therapy session for my starving artist within.

I was/am a talented artist who was constantly told I would not get paid to create, and that I would have to "get a real job" to survive.

And I did what I was told. I got hella educated and loved what I did.

But the truth is that we all return to the truest version of ourselves as we evolve, and for you that truest version might be ARTIST.

If you've ever felt blocked creatively

If you've ever struggled with feeling like what you paint/sculpt/draw/write is crap

If you've not experienced art-making as a liberatory practice

This episode is for you.

I sat down with Nadja Marks-Shafton, a young artist who turned her house into a gallery and living sanctuary, Casa Nadja, where she now runs workshops and retreats for people to tap into their creative abundance and artistic liberation.

Nadja is a mystic and philosopher whose work has appeared in international magazines, books, film, and television, but what matters most to her is how her paintings make you FEEL.

In this episode, she shares her journey going from extreme mental lack to finding infinite flow from Source within.

If this sounds like fluff to you, it's NOT, in fact Nadja shares some very specific practices she uses to meet herself right where she is, NO MATTER WHAT, to transmute and create from that well.

If you've ever wanted to purchase a home and didn't know how you would be able to afford a down payment.
