Episode 9 - Decolonizing Healing: Who Gets to Feel Whole?

Healing has become an industry — but who does it actually serve? Ìyá Ashley interrogates the wellness economy, performative self-care, and systems that decide who is allowed to feel safe, soft, and whole. She offers grounded questions to help listeners discern whether healing spaces truly honor their identity, culture, and spirit. Decolonizing healing is not about aesthetics. It’s about dignity, alignment, and truth. ✨ Looking for everyday mental health support?

Episode 8 - The Role of African Spirituality in Healing & Liberation

Why are African spiritual traditions so often erased, feared, or whispered about with shame? In this deeply personal episode, Ìyá Ashley shares her journey into African Traditional Religions (ATRs) and her initiation into Ifá. She explores Òrìṣàs, destiny, ancestral communication, and what it means to reclaim spiritual practices that survived colonization. These are not lost traditions. They are living systems — still calling us home. ✨ Looking for everyday mental health support?
