Descripción

This week Bamzi is joined by Gerry Opoka for a conversation about grief, purpose, and the spiritual dimensions of healing.Gerry shares how the loss of her brother became a profound turning point in her life, inviting her to question the nature of love, purpose, and the unseen forces that shape our paths. Through grief, she began to recognize that some experiences, even the most painful ones can awaken us to a deeper calling.Together, they explore the idea that some individuals may be chosen to confront and heal not only their own wounds, but also the unresolved pain carried through generations. The conversation touches on ancestral trauma, spiritual sensitivity, and the ways in which certain life challenges can open the door to deeper awareness and transformation.Bamzi and Gerry also reflect on the role of African spirituality, discussing how traditional wisdom systems once emphasized alignment with nature, intuition, and the interconnectedness of the spiritual and physical worlds. They explore how these traditions have been eroded by Colonization and Western Religion and Culture.If this episode resonates, we would love to hear from you.

Ep 27 | Wangui Mungai: The Real Reason Behind Procrastination, Perfectionism & Self-Sabotage

This week on The Art of Being, Bamzi sits down with Wangui Mungai for a conversation about the hidden motivations behind some of our most common self-sabotaging patterns.They explore what lies beneath procrastination, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of being seen, and other behaviors that often leave us feeling stuck, frustrated, or disconnected from ourselves. Rather than viewing these patterns as flaws to fix, they unpack how these patterns often begin as survival strategies designed to protect us from discomfort, rejection, failure, or uncertainty.They discuss how understanding the deeper purpose behind our behaviors allows us to work with them rather than against them. When we learn to recognize what our patterns are trying to protect, we create the possibility for greater self-awareness, self-trust, and lasting change. #Selfsabotage#Procrastination #Perfectionism #Peoplepleasing #Shame #Healingshame #Selfawareness #Personalgrowth #InnerWork #Selftrust #Healingjourney #Shadowwork #Emotionalhealing #NLP #Neuro-Linguistic Programming #Mindsetshift #Consciousliving #Selfdiscovery #TheArtofBeing #Psychology If this episode resonates, we would love to hear from you.

Ep 25 | Kinneri Parekh: The High Cost of Self-Abandonment -Perfectionism, People Pleasing & Overachieving

This week on The Art of Being, Kinneri joins Bamzi for a conversation about self-abandonment. They explore how common patterns such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-achieving, control, and the need for external approval are often unconscious strategies designed to help us feel safe in the world. While these patterns may have once served a purpose, they can leave us feeling exhausted, disconnected from ourselves, and trapped in cycles of self-sacrifice. Through personal reflections, practical examples, they unpack what these patterns are really trying to protect, the hidden cost of constantly abandoning ourselves, and what it means to build a relationship rooted in self-trust, emotional safety, and self-connection. If you've ever struggled to rest without guilt, found yourself constantly seeking validation, or felt like you've lost touch with who you are beneath all the roles you play, this conversation is for you.
