In this episode Goddess Zee explores why divine feminine energy is returning now and what it means for our bodies, relationships, communities, and bloodlines. This episode breaks down the divine feminine from both Western and Afro-Indigenous perspectives, including intuition, embodiment, womb wisdom, ancestral healing, sensuality, creativity, protection, ritual, rest, and spiritual sovereignty. Goddess Zee also discusses how patriarchal systems, colonization, religious trauma, capitalism, and survival culture have suppressed feminine wisdom — and why so many people are now feeling called to slow down, reconnect with their bodies, honor their ancestors, reclaim their voices, and embody sacred feminine power. This is not about gender wars. This is about balance, healing, remembrance, and the restoration of ancestral power.

In this episode, we discuss: What spiritual downloads are What transmissions are The difference between receiving a message and being the vessel for one Western and Afro-Indigenous perspectives How Spirit, ancestors, and guides may communicate How to tell if something is a download How to recognize when you may be transmitting What to do with spiritual information after receiving it Things to watch out for, including spiritual ego, projection, and giving messages without consent Journal prompt: What have I received that I have not yet integrated?

We're back! EP. 86 When Prayer Isn’t Enough: Black Mental Health & Spirituality What happens when you’ve prayed about it…and you’re still struggling? For generations, spirituality, prayer, faith, community, and ancestral practices have been powerful sources of strength within Black communities. But somewhere along the way, many of us also received the message that needing therapy, medication, or professional mental-health support meant we weren’t praying hard enough—or that something was wrong with our faith. In this episode of Holistic & Spiritual AF, Goddess Zee is challenging that either/or mentality. Inspired in part by recent conversations about Black mental health—including Kehlani openly discussing a wellness routine that incorporates medication, movement, nature, spirituality, prayer, therapy, and somatic healing—we’re exploring what it can look like when spiritual care and mental-health care exist together. We get into: ✨ Black mental health and the complicated relationship with getting help 🙏🏾 Why “just pray about it” can sometimes become spiritual bypassing 🌿 Western clinical approaches vs. holistic and Afro-Indigenous perspectives on wellness 🖤 The pressure to be “strong” and suffer silently 🧠 Therapy, medication, nervous-system care, community, and spiritual practice 🔮 Spiritual experiences vs. experiences that may require mental-health support 📱 Why TikTok, tarot, podcasts, and spiritual influencers are not substitutes for diagnosis or treatment 🌱 Finding culturally affirming support without abandoning your spiritual beliefs Because holistic healing should mean caring for the whole person—mind, body, spirit, relationships, culture, and community. You can pray and go to therapy. You can honor your ancestors and see a psychiatrist. You can practice energy healing and receive appropriate medical care. And getting help does not automatically mean your faith failed. Sometimes the help may be part of the answer to the prayer. 🎙️ New episodes of Holistic & Spiritual AF drop on the 2nd & 4th Friday of every month at 6 PM Eastern.

Ep: 85 When the Ancestors Call, You Better Answer w/ Goddess Zee Everybody wants signs. Everybody wants ancestors. Everybody wants the downloads, the dreams, the protection, the spiritual gifts… But what happens when the ancestors stop whispering — and start requiring something from you? In this episode of Holistic and Spiritual AF, Goddess Zee explores what it truly means when the ancestors call — and why accountability often follows awakening. We unpack the difference between how ancestors and ancestry are understood through a Western lens versus an Afro-Indigenous lens, and why that distinction matters for healing, discernment, nervous system regulation, and spiritual growth. Inside this episode, we explore: ✨ What it actually means when the ancestors are calling ✨ Ancestors vs ancestry — Western and Afro-Indigenous perspectives ✨ Why spiritual awakening requires accountability ✨ Ancestor-led vs ego-led spirituality ✨ The difference between intuition, confirmation bias, and spiritual discernment ✨ Why some people seek signs while avoiding the work ✨ How healing your lineage changes what gets passed down Because the truth is: The ancestors are not invested in your comfort. They are invested in your liberation. If your intuition has been louder… If the dreams have been stronger… If life keeps putting the same lesson in front of you… This may be your confirmation. Your ancestors are trying to get your attention. The question is: Will you answer? 🎧 New podcast episodes drop every Friday at 6 PM EST on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. 🌿 Visit holisticandspiritualaf.com for consultations, books, classes, meditations, and more ways to deepen your healing journey.  

Ep. 84 – Your Subconscious Mind Is Running Your Life Subconscious Programming, Ancestral Memory & Spiritual Sovereignty What if the life you’re living is being shaped by programs you never consciously chose? In this episode of Holistic and Spiritual AF, Goddess Zee takes a deep dive into the power of the subconscious mind and how inherited beliefs, trauma, survival conditioning, media, family systems, and colonization shape the way we think, feel, love, and move through the world. Because a lot of what we call “personality” is actually programming. From both Western psychology and Afro-Indigenous perspectives, we explore how the subconscious mind stores emotional patterns, survival responses, and learned behaviors — and how those patterns can continue running our lives until we consciously interrupt them. This episode goes beyond surface-level self-help. We’re talking about: 🧠 subconscious conditioning 🌿 ancestral memory 🔥 nervous system programming 🫀 embodied healing 🌍 spiritual disconnection through colonization In this episode, we get into: ✨ What the subconscious mind actually is ✨ How childhood, trauma, and repetition shape identity ✨ The difference between Western psychology and Afro-Indigenous understandings of memory and healing ✨ How survival patterns get passed down through generations ✨ Why affirmations alone don’t always create transformation ✨ How the body stores emotional and ancestral memory ✨ The connection between colonization and spiritual disconnection ✨ Practical steps to begin deprogramming subconscious conditioning We also explore a powerful truth: Healing is not becoming someone new. It’s remembering who you were before the conditioning. Because your mind can be retrained Your nervous system can heal. And your lineage does not have to end with survival mode. You are not every belief you inherited. You are allowed to choose differently. 🎙 New episodes of Holistic and Spiritual AF drop on the 2nd & 4th Friday of the month at 6 PM EST Available on: • Spotify • Apple Podcasts • YouTube 🌿 Visit the Holistic and Spiritual AF website for: https://holisticandspiritualaf.com • Books • Classes • Courses • Consultations • And more tools to support your healing journey If this episode resonated with you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone ready to break generational patterns and reclaim their mind. 🖤🔥

Ep: 83 Energetic Cords, Lovers & Memory w/ Goddess Zee Not every connection ends when the relationship does. Some linger… in your body, in your emotions, in your energy. In this episode of Holistic and Spiritual AF, Goddess Zee takes a deep dive into energetic cords, sexual energy exchange, and the memory the body carries after intimacy. This is not surface-level spirituality. This is about understanding how connection, vulnerability, and physical intimacy create real energetic imprints — and why so many people struggle to fully move on after relationships end. Through Afro-Indigenous wisdom, Western trauma-informed perspectives, and cosmic energetic understanding, we explore what it truly means to share energy with another person. Because intimacy is not just physical. It is spiritual. It is emotional. It is energetic. In this episode, we get into: ✨ What energetic cords really are and how they form ✨ The concept of life force energy (Àṣẹ) and spiritual exchange ✨ Why your body — especially the womb — holds relational memory ✨ How trauma and emotional imprinting show up after intimacy ✨ Signs of energetic residue from past lovers ✨ Why some connections are harder to release than others We also break down a real, grounded process for releasing energetic cords, including: 🌿 Acknowledging the connection honestly 🔥 Calling your energy back ✂️ Intentional cord release through breath and embodiment 🌊 Cleansing the body through water and ritual 🧿 Closing energetic access and reclaiming sovereignty Because healing is not just about “moving on”… It’s about reclaiming your energy, your body, and your power. And from an Afro-Indigenous perspective: The womb is not just physical. It is a space of memory, intuition, and ancestral connection. Which means what you experience in intimacy doesn’t just disappear. It must be cleared, honored, and released. 🎁 If this episode resonated with you… A Womb Clearing Ritual Replay is available, where we go deeper into: • releasing energetic cords • clearing emotional residue • reconnecting with your body • restoring your sensual and spiritual sovereignty 🌿 Visit the Holistic and Spiritual AF website for access to: • Rituals • Classes • Courses • Consultations • And more tools to support your healing journey 🎙 New episodes drop on the 2nd & 4th Friday of the month at 6 PM EST Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube If this episode spoke to you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs this message. Your body is not something to give away… It is something to honor, protect, and choose with intention. 🖤🔥  

Healing the Lineage Without Carrying the Pain Some conversations are hard to have… but necessary for healing. In this episode of Holistic and Spiritual AF, Goddess Zee opens up a deeply honest and compassionate conversation about mother wounds and the complex relationships we have with the women who raised us. This is not about blame. This is about understanding what was passed down… what was never processed… and what you are now being called to heal. From both Western psychology and Afro-Indigenous perspectives, we explore how the mother wound is not just personal — it is ancestral, embodied, and generational. Because sometimes what you experienced from your mother… didn’t start with her.   In this episode, we get into: ✨ What the “mother wound” really is and how it forms ✨ How ancestral patterns and survival strategies are passed down through women ✨ The impact of emotional suppression, hyper-independence, and survival conditioning ✨ How mother wounds show up in relationships, self-worth, and the body ✨ The connection between lineage, the nervous system, and inherited trauma ✨ How to begin healing without abandoning compassion for your mother   We also hold space for a powerful truth: You can love your mother… and still need to heal from what you experienced. And at some point, healing asks you to stop waiting for her to become who you needed… and begin becoming that for yourself. Because you are not just a product of your lineage. You are the evolution of it. 🎙 New episodes of Holistic and Spiritual AF now drop twice a month — on the 2nd and 4th Friday at 6 PM EST.   Available on: • Spotify • Apple Podcasts • YouTube   🌿 Visit the Holistic and Spiritual AF website for: • Books • Classes • Courses • Consultations • And more ways to support your healing journey   If this episode resonated with you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who may need this conversation.

Ep: 80 Stop Asking Spirit for Signs You’re Not Ready to Obey How many signs do you actually need? The ringing in your ears. The gut feeling. The repeating numbers. The dreams. The same situations happening over and over again. At some point… it’s no longer confusion. It’s avoidance. In this episode of Holistic and Spiritual AF, Goddess Zee breaks down the truth about intuition, spiritual signs, and why so many people keep asking spirit for guidance they’re not ready to act on. From both Afro-Indigenous perspectives and Western understanding, we explore how spirit actually communicates — and why ignoring those messages can lead to feeling disconnected, stuck, or “spiritually blocked.” Because spirit is not silent… It’s just not going to keep repeating itself if you’re not listening. In this episode, we get into: ✨ What “signs” really are (and how they differ across traditions) ✨ Ringing ears, body sensations, dreams, and repeating numbers ✨ Why your body is one of your strongest spiritual tools ✨ How patterns in your life are actually messages ✨ The real reason spirit seems to go quiet ✨ The difference between seeking clarity vs avoiding action This is your reminder that: You don’t need another sign. You need to trust the one you already received. Because every time you ignore your intuition… you teach yourself not to trust it. And healing, alignment, and spiritual growth all require one thing: Action. 🎙 New episodes drop every Friday at 6 PM EST Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube 🌿 Visit the Holistic and Spiritual AF website for: • Books • Classes • Courses • Consultations • And more ways to deepen your healing and spiritual journey If this episode resonated with you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs this message.
