A Woman in a Strange Land is Always Considered a Witch with Mawiyah Kai EL-Jamah Bomani

It Wasn’t Darkness for Naught, It was Darkness for Purpose with Karen Allen

Karen Allen is an international keynote speaker, growth mindset coach, and author with nearly a decade of experience empowering leaders and teams. Specializing in growth mindset, mindfulness, and human leadership skills, Karen uses her Stop & Shift methodology to drive positive change. She has collaborated with organizations such as Genentech, Google, and Thomson Reuters to enhance leadership and team dynamics, resulting in more productive and resilient work environments. On this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, Karen shares how the murder of her husband before the age of 30 transformed her relationship with grief, intuition, healing, and self-trust. She reflects on how her body processed the experience before her brain could fully understand it, and how that darkness ultimately became a space of transformation and purpose. Together, we explore post-traumatic growth, subconscious processing, visualization, dreams, clairvoyance (clear vision), clairsentience (clear feeling), and the intelligence of the body. Karen also shares how learning to trust herself, follow intuitive guidance, and connect more deeply with her inner world helped shift the trajectory of her life and work. This conversation is a powerful reflection on how even the darkest experiences can crack us open, deepen our connection to ourselves, and lead us toward greater healing, alignment, and purpose.

Humans Have Created So Much Chaos That Is Misaligned with Balance with Michelle Cassandra Johnson

Michelle Cassandra Johnson is an author, activist, spiritual teacher and director, racial equity consultant and educator, and intuitive and shamanic healer. Her work centers on healing individual and collective trauma, returning to wholeness, and aligning the mind, body, spirit, and heart. Drawing on more than two decades as a clinical social worker, Michelle has led transformative work dismantling racism and systems of oppression while creating more accessible spaces for healing and wellness. In this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, Michelle shares learning to trust the reality of her metaphysical experiences. She reflects on receiving clairaudient (clear hearing) guidance from her deceased grandmother, connecting through dreams, signs, nature, and ancestral presence, and how those experiences guided her more deeply into spiritual work and spiritual direction. Together, we explore intuition through the body, channeling, communication through crows and the natural world, collective healing, reclaiming ritual and ceremony, and the importance of stillness in a world filled with noise and disconnection. We also discuss sensitivity as a form of awareness, spirituality as disruption, and how reconnecting to ourselves may be part of the larger transformation happening collectively.

A Woman in a Strange Land is Always Considered a Witch with Mawiyah Kai EL-Jamah Bomani

In this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, meet New Orleans native, author, and eighth- generation witch, Mawiyah Kai El-Jamah Bomani. The conversation explores West African spirituality through Yoruba traditions, the Orishas, and the shared representation of deities across cultures. Mawiyah shares her connection to the Goddess Oya, who represents the wind, and reflects on how that relationship manifested in her physical life through weather and messages carried by the wind. She even briefly and gorgeously sings a prayer to Oya. Mawiyah also shares the idea of gratitude altars alongside ancestral altars, and the importance of readiness, intention, and authenticity when calling on deeper energetic or spiritual support. The conversation expands into ideas of “good” and “bad” as forms of identification that shape perception. Check out her new book titled Hoodoo Saints and Root Warriors: Stories and Magick for Liberation.

It’s the Journey of Their Life, and the Struggle, and the Ability to Come Out the Other Side with Tony LeRoy

In this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, you'll meet Tony LeRoy,  an intuitive counselor with over 25 years of experience helping people discover their own power to create meaningful change in their lives. Drawn to the life and legacy of the popular Clairvoyant Edgar Cayce at an early age, Tony first became aware of his own psychic abilities in adolescence. His work has found its most resonant expression in what he calls "intuitive counseling," a practice that transcends the roles of life coach, therapist, or mystic.  His mission is simple: to help you access your inner strength and embrace your potential. Over his career, Tony has been prominently featured in Marie Claire, Elle Magazine, The New York Times, Goop, The Hollywood Reporter, New York Magazine, and The Huffington Post, as well as in various podcasts, including the Bruce Lee Podcast and That's Total Mom Sense. Tony shares his personal story from recognition of intuition as something that has always been with him to learning in high school that not everyone processes like him, which made him stop going to high school until his mom found out. In college, he told a professor about his experiences, and the professor recommended a book on shamanism, which helped him better understand his intuition. Presently, Tony receives information in several ways, enabling him to share healing messages with his clients.

I Would Lay Down at Night and Just Have Conversations Within with Shanice Battle

In this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, you'll meet an empath and celebrity hairstylist, Shanice Battle, who has been working professionally in Brooklyn, New York, for eight years. She has worked with Solange, La La, Rosie Perez, and many others. I have also been privy to her services many times, and since our first meeting, she and I have instantly connected through our experience with the non-physical world. Most of the conversation talks about Shanice's ongoing experience that she calls being “In the Spirit”, which is a place of all knowing (clear knowing, Claircognizance), and goes on to share her experiences with Clairvoyance (clear vision) and Clairaudience (clear hearing)—being raised in church and understanding the difference between flesh and Spirit as a child and connecting flesh to emotion as a child and embracing the flesh/brain and allowing them to mesh with the Spirit. She also talks about moving more into her flesh when trauma happened and likens flesh to being a bully to the Spirit. Shanice has an experience of not sleeping, similar to the guest Charlie River on episode 8 of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, and references that episode. That state of being began happening for her in 2020, and she shares how she experiences and perceives life in that state of consciousness. This conversation ends with her revelation and understanding of those experiences as us as human beings being all one.
