Black Girl In Om

We are buzzing with excitement because the number of vital life lessons shared in this conversation are too abundant to count. Listen in to experience the powerful (un)learning, necessary affirmation, and bountiful wisdom shared between Black Girl In Om Founder, Lauren Ash and the transcendent spirit that is Rha Goddess. As the Founder and CEO of Move The Crowd [movethecrowd.me], Rha inspires the entrepreneurs she’s worked with for decades to redefine their relationship to work and success. With the release of her book, The Calling: 3 Fundamental Shifts to Stay True, Get Paid, and Do Good , she is bringing that wisdom to us all, a point made clear in this poignant conversation. You may already have a vision for what you’d like your life to look like, but worry that you won’t be successful. You could already be doing exactly what you’re meant to, but feel uncertain about how to maintain it sustainably. Perhaps you’re just getting started in imagining what your mission may be.

Mariam Mouna Guessous, Founder of I See You Wellness, is giving us the real life hacks—an Ikea Pinterest board could never. Join Lauren Ash, Black Girl In Om Founder, as she talks all things adventure with Mariam. Learn how to say yes to your soul-self by diving into the mystery when you follow your heart. Mar shares her story of breaking out of a corporate box as an NYC award-winning advertiser who said “f*ck it” to answer the calling to be herself. To be, that is our only mission. Mar explains our inherent power to create a reality without the wait that a linear way of living has convinced us is necessary. When it comes to timeline work and working in the quantum field, now is the hack. There is no traditional finish line, what you desire is accessible in this moment. Listen to the mission she challenges us with: be you, right now. This is such a fun and fascinating conversation that will inspire you to find the wisdom, insights and magic in the present.

We are back and we’re better, people, like that Bryson Tiller quote. Season 5 of the Black Girl In Om podcast is cultivating energetic and spiritual conversations that speak to deeper aspects of our healing journeys as black womxn and as multifaceted spiritual beings. At this moment in human history, in global history, BGIO is honing in on the value of vulnerability. Our founder, Lauren Ash, opens episode one acknowledging the generative nature of sharing her story as a catalyst for healing, for awakening, and for connection. It begins with a birthday in Barbados. As we’re soothed by the transient visuals of turquoise tropics, beauty, and Oshun energy, Lauren’s story transports us to a place where clarity reigns and imagination meets intention. Listen as she walks us through her return to self and her return home, physically and spiritually, by being crystal clear on what she needs. What is deserved. Every single moment that we breathe, we have access to every single thing that we need. When you’re clear on w

So many of our community members have asked: How can we have more of this when you all leave? How can we continue this essence beyond this afternoon of the expansion tour? Our team deliberated to create a more intentional digital sisterhood using the best parts of the internet to bring our global community together. Bringing together all of the phenomenal womxn in our collective around the world to one place online to heal. It has manifested into The Circle.
