In this opening episode of The Awakening Woman: Ready to Thrive, Florence Ukpabi invites you into the sacred space between burnout and rebirth — the threshold. This isn’t just another self-help show; it’s a call to remember your truth, reclaim your rhythm, and begin again.

We explore:

Why burnout isn’t failure — it’s a sacred signal

How systems of performance and extraction disconnect us from our essence

The deeper invitation of COVID, AI, and motherhood

What it means to trust your inner knowing and choose life on your terms

Whether you’re a mother, a seeker, or a woman rising from exhaustion, you’re not alone.

Welcome, welcome to the final episode of Becoming YOU Beyond Deconstruction. Now that I’m into the third year of sharing my deconstruction and deconditioning journey here, I thought that going back and revisiting the idea of faith and how my understanding of faith has shifted and changed would be a nice way to bring things to a close.

I actually started drafting my thoughts for this episode back in January, it’s taken me this long to put them together and feel in the place where I can share it.I am excited to do so today.This episode gets a little emotional and raw at times, but it’s not surprising as I not only share some of the shifts and changes that I have been experiencing and how they have informed my understanding of faith, trust, spirituality and life but also where this is taking me next.

I hope you enjoy listening to this episode and I also want to say a huge thank you for being a part of this podcasting journey with me. I hope you will continue joining me as I share written posts via Substack.NB. After recording the episode I realised that the audio wasn’t the greatest but it still is fine to listen to, it was such an honest and raw episode that I knew I didn’t want to record it again even if it doesn’t sound 100% perfect.

Lastly, I have a favour to ask, I would love for you to consider leaving a comment or if not liking or sharing this post. Much LoveFlorence O. x

Welcome back to another episode of "Becoming YOU Beyond Deconstruction". In this episode, I had a conversation with Laura Lewis, a Substack writer, author, and creator of "The Whole Woman Oracle Deck and Guidebook" on embodiment.

This is a topic that I feel very strongly about. Even though working somatically is becoming more popular, it doesn't necessarily equate to what embodiment is. Laura and I allowed our conversation to take its path. We explored the idea of embodiment, our experiences of it, the challenges and joys of it, and how it can help support our individual and collective healing.

Laura candidly shared her realisation of how New Age spirituality stopped her from living as an embodied, responsive human being, how she stumbled upon Psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and how this, in turn, enabled her to develop a deeper relationship with her body.

Please take a moment to listen, like and share this post. Comments are open as usual for podcast episodes, I would love to read (hear) your thoughts on this topic.

Meet Laura

Laura, a mother of three beautifully wild children, describes herself in her own words as being a woman filled with an undying devotion to her own becoming. Searching for the muse in every stolen moment, her writing has been an avenue for weaving her own meaning into the world, enabling her formerly starved soul to grow satiated once again.

Her fondest wish is that her words might offer some sustenance to those women who are still hungry and howling for more.

You can meet with and connect with Laura on either one of her Substack publications:

* The Whole Woman

* An Ode to Devotion
