"Celestial Awakenings" with Yeni

EP 5: "Who Am I?" Series (Part 2) | Names, Labels & the Stories We Inherited

In this episode of Celestial Awakenings with Yeni, we journey into the invisible weight of the labels we were given long before we understood who we truly were. From “the strong one” to “the responsible one” to “the black sheep,” these inherited identities shape our choices, our self‑worth, and the way we move through the world.   Today, we explore: ✨ The emotional burden of childhood labels ✨ How family roles shape our adult identity ✨ Why labels feel limiting — even when they seem “positive” ✨ The fear of outgrowing who we were told to be ✨ How to release what no longer fits your spirit   You’ll also receive journal prompts to help you unpack your own inherited stories and reconnect with your evolving identity.   Journal Prompts: • What labels did I receive early in life? • Which labels feel true? Which feel heavy? • How have these labels protected me? • Who might I be without the loudest label?

EP 4: "Who Am I?" Series (Part 1) | Who Am I When No One Is Watching?

Celestial Awakenings is a deeply personal podcast exploring healing, identity, and spiritual awakening through the lens of lived experience. Hosted by Yeni, each episode unpacks the journey of navigating trauma, reclaiming your voice, and reconnecting with your sacred, divine self.   In this episode, part of the “Who Am I?” series, Yeni reflects on what it means to exist beyond expectations and performance. Who are you when no one is watching? Through stories of perfectionism, survival, and self-trust, she invites listeners to pause, reflect, and begin peeling back the layers of conditioning.   ✨ Topics include: * Performance vs presence * Self-trust and healing after trauma * Releasing masks and rediscovering authenticity * Guided reflection and journal prompts   This is more than a podcast—it’s a space for self-discovery, softness, and awakening.

Ep 3: Intermittent Fasting, Fitness & Spiritual Clarity | A Real Wellness Conversation

In this candid, funny, and heartfelt conversation between mother and daughter, Yeni and Safiya sit down to talk real life – starting with intermittent fasting and ending somewhere between gym motivation, body changes, food love, and self-awareness. What begins as a check-in about fasting windows quickly opens into a deeper discussion about listening to your body, building sustainable routines, and redefining what “healthy” actually looks like. From gym accountability partners and “soft Angela Bassett” goals to navigating carbs, cravings, and hormonal shifts, this episode blends practical wellness insights with humor and honesty. The conversation highlights the importance of patience, preparation, and self-compassion—especially when starting (or restarting) a fitness journey. There’s no perfection here, just real-time learning, shared experiences, and encouragement. Whether you’re curious about intermittent fasting, trying to get back into movement, or simply need reassurance that progress doesn’t have to be extreme to be meaningful, this episode feels like a supportive voice reminding you: you’re allowed to take your time, enjoy your food, and still show up for yourself.

Ep 2: Speaking My Truth (Be Still...)

Hey everyone! I’ve been holding onto these feelings for several weeks now, but Spirit is guiding me to lay it out on the table right now. So, here it goes. I am a recovering perfectionist who is embracing a whole lot of uncertainty and trusting in Divine Timing by sharing my experience of launching this podcast and facing the anxiety of not having new content ready, a situation that would have previously caused unfathomable stress. “My plans” were to hit the ground running with a plethora of content to keep people coming back for more! (And, what did God tell us about our plans? Hmm.) Instead, I am choosing to surrender control, relying on my spiritual faith that things will unfold as they are meant to. This experience also puts an emphasis on the importance of patience, self-awareness, and gratitude during periods of waiting. I hope this encourages you to focus on what truly matters in the present moment, suggesting that sometimes, delays or unexpected outcomes are opportunities for growth and preparation for future blessings. This message is one of peace, acceptance, and hope—reminding me (and hopefully you too!) to stay open, productive, and safe, trusting that all will be well in its own time. Until then, stay tuned for more shorts or clips. Peace. ---------------------------------------- Follow Yeni on social media: Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/awakenwithyeni], Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/awakenwithyeni] Leave a review on Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/celestial-awakenings-with-yeni/id1858412659], Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/1bBZkbjhPZOKRC0iD7kbRG] Subscribe to our YouTube Channel [https://www.youtube.com/@CelestialAwakeningswithYeni] Support our podcast through PayPal [https://www.paypal.com/us/home] | Cash App [https://cash.app/$CelestialBabe57] | Buy Me A Coffee [https://buymeacoffee.com/awakenwithyeni] | STRIPE [https://donate.stripe.com/bJe3cx64N1r5a5RccG8Ra00] Send your questions or comments - click here to email [celestialawakenings.yeni@gmail.com] us.
