A huge lesson for me that I want to share with you is how precious time is. I spent a lot of time wandering about without any real aim in my life truthfully following the path that others had set out for me. But the problem was it was killing me. I longed for purpose and filled in the void with food, mindless TV surfing, and sex. In this episode, I share some lessons so hopefully, you don’t have to learn the hard way as I did.

In this episode, I share my journey with you. I talk about how I followed my first mind or intuition to being set free and finally living my life for me.   I came from a space of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, to finding peace of mind, my true identity, and purpose.

In this episode, we'll dive into what you can expect on the Follow Your First Mind Podcast. My mission is to help you live a life filled with peace, joy, and abundance, so at the end of every episode, I will include reflective journal prompts to encourage you to take inspired action to step into the life you deserve! 

I wanted to talk to you about your intuition. What does your intuition feel or look like?

Now, intuition by Webster's definition is the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning; or a thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning.  But what does that really mean? How do we explain a knowing we just receive.  The study of intuition began over 20 years ago and has picked up in popularity in mainstream science which is amazing, but one thing is often a miss from the lab coat investigation of understanding, and that's the personal experience. I believe that we cannot talk about intuition without recognizing the truly personal and individual experience each of us has with it. As well as, without recognizing it as a means of communication.

Communicating what... you may ask... Well, that's where the studies and opinions differ.  However, one thing is certain regardless of what your intuition is telling you, people, who are using it tend to be happier and live fuller lives.

This week, we're diving into my definition of intuition. I'd love to hear how you define it, comment and let me know

Scripture mentioned:

John 15:1-17

'I AM, two of the most powerful words in the world... What will you add after it?

In this episode, Jamelia shares how she discovered who she is on her journey through this life and how having the utmost confidence in yourself can carry you over any hurdle to unseen places of what your life can be!  

Jamelia and I reconnected in fall 2020 and it seemed like fate brought us back together. I've known Jamelia for years, in fact it's probably been over 9 years since we first met, and now to see what she's created while trusting God has inspired me to dig in deep!

We discussed and joked about how God can play such a pivotal role in your life if you LET Him! She describes how vital it is to be the author of your story and shares how she's gone from 'undone' to gracefully walking in and on purpose!

This episode is the continuation of Part 1 with Rashida Ahmed, Sex Educator and Intimacy Coach, on how she discovered peace and reclaimed her life through following her intuition. 

A little more on Rashida:

"As a sex educator and intimacy coach, the womxn I serve are on their pathways to self discovery and healing from sexual shame and traumatic experiences that may be hindering their full expression of authentic sexuality. At the centre of my practice is the imperative to shine light on Black sexuality, feminine empowerment and inclusive and comprehensive sexual education. I strive to create positive safe spaces to grow and connect womxn to further impact our experiences and affect change for generations to come. Together we can embark on a journey of self love, empowerment and collective healing.  

I have worked with brands and organizations like Good For Her, Izzy Community and Aurelia Lingerie to bring transformative and accessible sexual wellness education to the our community of womxm.  Having studied Psychology and Sexual Studies, I bring my wealth of knowledge and practical teaching style to my group classes, individual coaching sessions and speaking engagements.
