In this heartfelt episode, host Maleika Rene is joined by Liz, the show’s producer, for an intimate and spiritual conversation about what friendship looks like when life slows down. Whether you or your friend are in a season of survival—navigating grief, burnout, transition, health challenges or simply exhaustion—this episode explores how we continue to hold each other with grace and care.

Together, we reflect on the quiet power of support, and the sacred rhythm of friendships that can weather silence, space, and stillness.

Affirmation:

"Even in silence, true friendship speaks volumes."

Journal Prompt:

How have I been supported in my slower seasons?

How can I offer that same grace to someone else right now?

Soul Work:

Choose one sister in your life who may be in a slower season. Send her a voice memo, drop off a small gesture of care, or lift her name in prayer. Let her know: "I see you. I love you. I’m here."

After a powerful Season 3 kickoff, life had other plans. In this episode, we’re catching up on what’s been happening behind the scenes — from navigating chronic illness and the intense reality of perimenopause to hitting a full-body, full-mind wall that forced both Liz and I to pause.

We’re getting real about what happens when the journey stalls, how rest isn’t weakness, and why pausing is not only valid — it’s vital. You’ll also find a breathing reset, a calming affirmation, and a reflective journal prompt to help you check in with yourself wherever you are on your path.

✨ Take the pause.

✨ Give yourself permission.

✨ The journey continues — just at a gentler pace.

📓 Journal Prompt:

What is my body trying to tell me right now?

What do I need to pause — or protect — to feel whole again?

Welcome to Season 3, a season like no other—raw, real, and unfolding in real-time. This special bonus episode marks the beginning of our journey together, where we embrace life as it is, choosing to live fully, no matter the obstacles.

As we step into the Spring Equinox, we’ll explore its deep cosmic and spiritual meaning—a time of balance, renewal, and sacred new beginnings. We’ll also dive into the transformative energy of the recent full moon and lunar eclipse, how they’re reshaping our paths, and what we need to be mindful of as Mercury Retrograde stirs reflection and redirection. And because this is Season 3, we’re embracing the power of the number 3—a number of divine creation, manifestation, and angelic guidance. What is the universe whispering to you right now ?

Plus, an exciting new segment is coming this season: Menopause What? Menopause Who?—a candid, unfiltered conversation with my dear friend Jennifer about the truths and transformations of menopause. Make sure you’re subscribed—new episodes drop every Wednesday until the Summer Solstice.

Take a deep breath… settle in… let’s begin.
