In this heartfelt episode of the You Are Heard Podcast, I take you on a journey into the roots of fellowshipping, how it was introduced to me as a child and why it continues to shape the way I create sacred spaces for healing today.

As I reflect on the ways we used to gather — sharing meals, stories, and presence — I realized how much our modern world is missing true fellowship. That realization birthed the vision for I Speak Fellowship Night: a space where we break bread, share truth, and speak life into one another.

In this episode, I share:

• ​ The childhood memories that sparked my love for fellowshipping
• ​ Why I created the I Speak Fellowship Night experience
• ​ How I envision this space transforming our collective healing journey

If you’re craving deeper connection, community, and a place to be fully heard, this episode was made for you.

Tickets are now available for our next I Speak Fellowship Night — happening Sunday, June 29th.

Limited seating. Reserve your spot here: https://youareheardpodcast.Komi.io

Let’s come together, speak our truth, and heal — together.

This episode was recorded on Election Day 2024, before any results were announced but the message still echoes louder than ever. I sat with the energy of uncertainty, reflection, and purpose. No matter the outcome, I knew one truth: change begins within.

This previously unreleased episode is a personal call to action for myself and for you. It’s about becoming the disrupter in your own life, awakening your voice, and stepping into the kind of transformation the world is hungry for.

It’s not about politics it’s about personal power, collective healing, and showing up differently.

🎙️ In this solo reflection, I share:

• Raw thoughts recorded before knowing the results
• What it means to be a spiritual and emotional disruptor
• Why your inner revolution is more powerful than any vote
• A reminder that you are the shift

This is your invitation to activate purpose, speak truth, and live like the world is watching, because it is.

Welcome to a Soul Truth edition of the You Are Heard Podcast a sacred space where I, Aniola, choose to honor my voice without fear or filters. In this solo episode, I speak from the heart, sharing my personal reflections, emotions, and insights as I continue my journey toward healing and self-expression.

While many episodes of You Are Heard uplift the voices of others, The Soul Truth Series is where I reclaim my own. This episode is a vulnerable offering a moment of truth-telling about what it means to show up as your full self.

I also reflect on my recent experience doing community service with Fabi, founder of MenBeni Gardening, at her beautiful event Manje Avec Mwen (Eat with Me). Participating in this offering to the community brought me powerful clarity and perspective on what healing can look like when we come together.

In this episode, I share:

• ​ Why using my voice is a non-negotiable part of my healing
• ​ The deeper meaning behind The Soul Truth series
• ​ My reflections from serving at Manje Avec Mwen
• ​ How service and community shift the healing process
• ​ The courage it takes to be fully seen and heard

This is a personal invitation into my world one where soul truth leads the way.

Listen in. Witness the journey. Speak your own truth.
