Episode 5: Consistency
April 03, 2023 16:00 - 48 minutes - 33.3 MBIn this episode, we give you a gentle reminder as we step into our week that consistency is defined by you and you alone. There is so much advice out there on schedules, routines, and the “correct” way to approach your day, which creates a sense of self-doubt and discouragement. It’s time to redefine what consistency looks like for us and how we use it to show up in our business (and that includes prioritizing rest ). Have a week that is consistent for you! Support the show
Ep. 4: The Essence of Your Business
March 20, 2023 15:00 - 42 minutes - 28.9 MBWhat is the essence of your business or the desire to start one? This essence comes from you and how you react to the gift you are sharing. Are you committed to and excited by it, do you nourish and trust it? The essence of your business is YOU. Learn how to step into the desire of your company in this episode. Support the show

Breathwork - Let’s talk about ways breathing triggers the parasympathetic nervous system to release tension, tightness, and trapped emotions. Tapping- Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

Ep. 1: Expand Your Life with Vulnerability
February 06, 2023 16:00 - 35 minutes - 24.3 MBIn this episode, we discuss: What moments in our lives shaped the creation of this space? Why did we start #SheKings? Who is this space for? Why be unveiled? Where is it safe for us, as black women, to be open? . . Let's talk vulnerability! Support the show
SheKings Ep. 50: Reclaim Your Power Through Healing
July 17, 2020 16:00 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MBWhen you accept who you are and how you feel, healing is possible. In this episode, we discuss the benefit of looking deeply at your pain and your trauma and doing the work to accept it. The other side is power. The other side is renewed innocence in a world where many of us are reliving our old traumas and hurts on a daily basis...in situations that are completely unrelated to the original pain. It's time to awaken to a new way of being. ------------ Work with us or reach out to us with ...
SheKings Ep. 49: Processing Strange Collective Energy Shifts
July 10, 2020 13:00 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MBSometimes there are energy shifts in our world that can be explained by any number of phenomena...but when they hit our bodies they feel like stress, anxiety, and sadness. When this happens we immediately want to find the problem and fix it so that we can feel better. But the truth is that sometimes there's nothing to find. Or, perhaps there is something to find, but it's already working itself out so there's no need to take a deep dive into figuring it all out. And when you do try to go i...
SheKings Ep. 48: The Freedom to Choose Your Response
July 03, 2020 20:00 - 30 minutes - 20.9 MBIn this episode, Ali and Erica ponder the idea that when we are controlled by our reactions and circumstances then we don't have free will. Therefore, in times of collective or personal turmoil it becomes even more important to show up and do the deep spiritual work of healing. Let us share with you some ways to regain free will. In a world full of unconsciousness, you don't have to be. Wake up. Be free. ------------ Work with us or reach out to us with inquiries, questions....and complai...
SheKings Ep. 47: Allow Yourself to Be Seen
June 26, 2020 13:00 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MBThe more we do this work, the more we realize that the most common frustration in the world is the desire to be seen coupled with the fear of allowing it. There is an innate calling from within to show yourself, to be yourself, and to own your unique contribution to existence. And yet we all seem to struggle with it. This episode is all about showing up as yourself. What stops us, where this starts, and why we can't shake the desire. ------------ Work with us or reach out to us with inq...
SheKings Ep. 46: How To Really Get Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable
June 19, 2020 12:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MBGetting comfortable with being uncomfortable is something we hear all the time now. It's definitely becoming a buzzword/buzz phrase. And you know what the SheKings do with buzzy things. We turn them upside down. And shake the change of out their pockets. Just kidding. We want to be of support as you wade through 2020 (what a year, amirite?). And learning what it really means to sit in your discomfort can change everything. It requires your presence. It requires your peace. And in return yo...
Stories To Wake Up To - Black Lives Matter
June 05, 2020 17:00 - 19 minutes - 13.4 MBIn my own cries for others to wake up to my humanity and the humanity of other black and brown people, I learned that I had to wake up too. It's shocking at times how distant we can become from our fellow man. And the more distant we become from the other, the more distant we are from our own true grace. In this episode of Stories to Wake up To, I talk about the shift that the world is experiencing with the Black Lives Matter movement and my own evolution on the subject. ------------- Wor...

SheKings Ep. 45: Life is But a Dream w/ author Jason Revere
May 29, 2020 17:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MBIn this episode, we speak with the author of Get Your Head Out of Your Asana, Jason Revere, about his spiritual journey, his take on the yoga world, and his experience living life after his awakening. As you can guess by the name of his book, Jason is full of energy and unafraid to share his perspective on all things spirituality. He's also got a spectacular sense of humor, which helps when you're challenging the basis upon which most people live their lives. -------------- You can find ...
SheKings Ep. 44: Simplify Your Spiritual Life
May 22, 2020 14:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MBSomehow, we humans can make anything complicated and exclusive. We create Gods that only prefer certain people. We develop spiritual practices that are the best and only spiritual practices that should be practiced. We limit and take ownership over the universal power that flows through us all. We make cliques of those who are spiritually advanced (the ones who get it, and those who misunderstand what spirituality really is (the ones don't get it). Well, this week Ali and Erica are over...
SheKings Ep. 43: Three Simple Steps to Unleash Your Potential
May 15, 2020 15:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MBOne of the biggest reasons why we fail to reach our potential is that we believe that our potential is somewhere out there in the future. Even the generally accepted definition of potential makes it some shiny future object. But...what if your potential can only be achieved in this moment? What if the only way to create a future that you'll love is to move your butt without hesitation whenever the energy hits you, rising up to align with the highest expression of your being in this moment?...
SheKings Ep. 42: The Top Four Ways You're Limiting Your Potential
May 08, 2020 13:00 - 36 minutes - 25 MBSometimes you've got to take a long, hard look at your life and admit that it's not what you want it to be. We do not do this to berate and guilt ourselves, rather we do it because the first step to changing things is to admit there is a problem. This week Erica and Ali take a look at why we fail to reach our potential moment after moment, year after year. So if you're dreams of yesterday are still your dreams for tomorrow, then this episode is for you. It's time to RISE UP and peacefu...

Stories To Wake Up To - The Professor and the Old Sailor
April 24, 2020 13:00 - 20 minutes - 14.1 MBWhen things get tough, do you still feel stuck even after all of your personal development work? Seriously, how is that we can be coaches, meditators, self-improvement/personal development junkies... how is possible that we could have overcome so many trials and tribulations with so many aha moments in this life... and still be frustrated, confused, fearful, rageful when life spins out of control? This story called the The Professor and the Old Sailor or Swimology (author unknown) reveal...
SheKings Ep. 41: Floating in times of Crisis
April 17, 2020 13:00 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MBWe always have choices...even in uncertain times. Many times though, we forget how expansive our choices are. We limit ourselves based on what we think is possible. Based on past experiences. Based on what we believe we should be doing. We forget that we are limitless. We forget that we are supported by a force much greater than ourselves. Let me say that again. We are supported. Doesn't that feel good? Just the thought of it? This episode is inspired by a conversation that the a...
SheKings Ep. 40: What Would it Be Like to Mind Your Own Business
April 10, 2020 13:00 - 36 minutes - 24.9 MBThe name of this episode may be a bit facetious. But SheKings is all about treating “serious” things with inappropriate humor in order to get you to wake up to your potential and to live joyously. This week we are focused on the overwhelming tendency of people to police the actions of others (especially in the times we're living in). Tune in to this episode to be enlightened and encouraged to mind your fucking business and live a life so full of passion that it is easy to do so. With lov...
SheKings Ep. 39: Love Thy Neighbor...the One Who Sucks
April 03, 2020 18:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MBWe may believe that someone is deserving of our ire. However, the truth is that the vitriol we have for another is sewn first within ourselves. In this episode, Ali and Erica show you the trick to having compassion for those who bring up tough emotions and deep frustration. -------------- Work with us or reach out to us with inquiries, questions....and complaints (which we will likely ignore with love): Email: [email protected] Ali: http://iamaliduncan.com, FB:/aliduncanbeseen, I...
SheKings Ep. 38: Going Beyond Fear
March 27, 2020 19:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MBIs fear necessary? We often hear people talk about it as a motivator. For example, the fear of catching Coronavirus can motivate people to stay home. Is fear inevitable? We often hear people discuss fear as if certain situations would evoke fear in everyone. For example, you might lose your job...well of course you're worried and afraid. Listen, if you can't transcend fear then why not use it? We agree. But if there was a way to live free of fear...would you give it a try? This w...
SheKings Ep. 37: Breaking The Pattern of Fear
March 20, 2020 13:00 - 37 minutes - 25.9 MBIt doesn’t matter how spiritual you are, most of us have a way that we respond to stress and things we perceive to be scary - physically, economically, psychologically. Most of us wish our fear response was a bit more refined - e.g., not moving immediately to fight (for example, lashing out at others on social media or yelling at your partner for the slightest thing, flight (like turning to drugs and alcohol or checking out emotionally), or freeze (like focusing incessantly on “fixing” the...
SheKings Ep. 36: Tantra 101
March 13, 2020 13:00 - 26 minutes - 18 MBLet’s get naked and……no. Why are some of us so interested in tantra while others of us avoid it all together? Sting had a big impact on how the Western world views tantra. Years ago he talked about how tantra was the reason he could make love for hours and hours. But tantra is not about sex. Yes, it can be applied in the bedroom to deepen the connection with one's self and their partner. However, the power of tantra - while rooted in the physical - transcends the pleasure of the bod...
SheKings Ep. 35: A note on Highly Sensitive People and Empaths
March 06, 2020 14:00 - 24 minutes - 17 MBThis week we address a listener question about what it means to be an empath and we loop in highly sensitive people (HSPs) just for the hell of it. Have you found yourself experiencing emotional ups and downs that seem completely unrelated to your own personal life experiences? Have you begun to notice that you are highly affected by other people's emotional states? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then this is the episode for you. ...but, as usual, this episode is fille...
SheKings Ep. 34: Boundaries ~ Build them up then Break them Down
February 28, 2020 15:00 - 44 minutes - 30.9 MBHere's the truth: we create boundaries to protect us from the things that hurt. We build boundaries to help us say in advance what we're afraid to say in the moment. But what if we use boundaries to help us wake up to the things that are important to us then let them go in order to allow presence and power to take hold in our lives. We spend our lives trying to avoid negative emotion. We spend our lives trying not to come off as inconsiderate, an asshole, or too direct. We attempt to s...
SheKings Ep. 33: How To Be Yourself
February 21, 2020 14:00 - 47 minutes - 32.7 MBHere's the truth: we create boundaries to protect us from the things that hurt.

SheKings Ep. 32: Stay Focused, Friends!
February 14, 2020 17:00 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MBWhat are you trying to bring about in your world? Are you focused exclusively on those things you're trying to manifest or are you allowing distractions, irritations, and identification with certain personal attributes (think: gender, race, class) to keep you mired in drama? In this episode, we invite you to turn your sights inward in order to focus on your own evolution and happiness. We invite you to look at why the lure of engaging in the issue of the day is so strong. We challenge yo...
SheKings Ep. 31: It's time to Expand
February 07, 2020 16:00 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MBWhy aren’t you growing? Why are you feeling stuck? Bored? Fearful? Why are the SheKings always talking about people changing things up? Well, there’s an epidemic in this world of staying with things that don’t make us happy because we’re so afraid of change. There’s an epidemic of asking a mind full of old ideas for new possibilities. In this episode, we suggest that it’s time to expand beyond old ideas and ways of being; it's time to build community, hire a coach, or go deeper within...
SheKings Ep. 30: Let Things Be Easy
January 31, 2020 13:00 - 35 minutes - 24.1 MBIt's really a paradox that we all want things to be easy but deep down, we believe that things either cannot or should not be easy. It's crazy really, the truth of it. We're told to: "be responsible." And fun, ease, and joy are not apart of what we include in the description of responsible living, are they? Honestly, what do you think about when you think of responsibility? Probably ideas like: getting up early, working hard, no pain no gain. What a contradiction. What we truly want is d...
SheKings Ep. 29: Let's Give 'Em Something to Talk About
January 24, 2020 20:00 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MBSoooo...are you afraid to be criticized? Or are you worried about what "they" will say if you show up and shine bright? In a world where it's sexy to criticize others behind their backs... In a world where there are actual trolls living in their moms' actual basements casting aspersions from behind a keyboard... It's no wonder people are constantly on edge when it comes to receiving criticism. But here's the deal: you've got to be willing to jump into the fire of criticism if you tru...
SheKings Ep. 28: Teach Us To Sit Still
January 17, 2020 14:00 - 31 minutes - 22 MBIn this episode, Ali and Erica discuss and distinguish between what we think about cultivating silence versus what it really means to do so. Many times we think about stillness/silence/emptiness as depression or a waste of productive time. But the truth is that inviting more silence into your silence tends to bring you closer to peace of mind. Clarity in your life comes through allowing in the silence. ------------- Work with us or reach out to us with inquiries, questions....and complain...

SheKings Ep. 27: Spirituality Won't Save You
January 10, 2020 13:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MBDid you come to the spiritual path to help you deal with a problem in your life. Ali and Erica sure did. And we find that many of our clients are doing the same. A problem arises however when we take this concept too far. Many begin to believe (consciously or subconsciously) that "improvements" and adjustments to their spiritual practices will result in greater comfort in their physical lives. Stated differently, we start to think that if we could just become "better people" we would experie...
SheKings Ep. 26: Why Goals Fizzle
January 03, 2020 14:00 - 34 minutes - 23.7 MBWell, Ali wanted to talk about why goals fizzle. Erica wanted to talk about why goals suck. Let's see if they can meet in the middle on this one...or whether the SheKings just argue the whole time. As if... ------------- Work with us or reach out to us with inquiries, questions....and complaints (which we will likely ignore with love): Email: [email protected] Ali: http://iamaliduncan.com, FB:/Ali-Duncan-Intuitive-Energetic-Catalyst, IG: @aliduncanintuitive Erica: http://ericadanie...
SheKings Ep. 25: The Top 10 Reason Why The Law of Attraction Doesn't Work
December 20, 2019 18:00 - 48 minutes - 33.4 MBWe’ve waited a while to cover this issue. We’ve spent years railing against the law of attraction as it is taught...with all these rules and complications. It's time we stop looking for a way to issure that life goes the way we want it to...there is no way to do so. Zip. Zero. Zilch.

SheKings Ep. 24: Are You Crazy Enough to Live with Reckless Abandon?
December 13, 2019 21:00 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MBBeing crazy enough to live life with reckless abandon doesn't mean living life stupidly. It means being crazy enough to do what you're called to do. It means being present enough to live life fully - whatever you're doing. In this episode, we encourage you all to explore your joy rather than convincing yourself to be safe, secure (read that: boring, dead). Wake up and live! Support the show
SheKings Ep. 23: So you say you love yourself
December 06, 2019 14:00 - 29 minutes - 20 MBWhat happens when you wake up to the fact that you're only loving the "good parts" of yourself? How do you accept the shit you don't like: the smallness, the bitchiness, being overweight, hating certain aspects of your job, being a wife, a parent, a caregiver? We guarantee that for most people, when you say you love yourself, you're talking about the go-getter you, the inspired you, the compassionate you. But the truth is, there's a whole lot more to you than that. And until you learn ho...
SheKings Ep. 22: Keep Your Eyes on Your Own Prize
November 22, 2019 22:00 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MBWant to kill your joy fast and effortlessly? Compare yourself to others. Compare your looks, your income, your parenting skills your marriage and you will set yourself on a path of unhappiness. Doesn't it get tiring looking around at other people - their stuff, their accomplishments, their relationships? It's never-ending. When we learn to stay in our own lane, we learn how to be happy. Why do we compare ourselves to others and what is the difference of comparing yourself and being inspir...

April 12, 2019 14:00 - 30 minutes - 14 MBOur internal patterns create external patterns in our worlds. Patterns in relationships can make us feel as if we are going around in circles.

SheKings Ep 18: Relationships are just a mirror. What is it reflecting back?
March 29, 2019 14:00 - 31 minutes - 14.5 MBYou have a relationship with everything and everyone around you. How you interact with your #food How you interact with your #car and other drivers How you interact with your #money How you interact with your #body How you interact with your #work and #coworkers Absolutely everything and everyone is in a relationship with you and you with them.

SheKings Ep. 17: Freedom from Knowing
March 22, 2019 14:00 - 40 minutes - 18.4 MBWhen we say "I know" after something is pointed out to us, we shut down our ability to expand in that moment. When we have an open mind and look at people, situations and experiences as if we don't know, then we are open to being shown the unexpected. In those moments, our vision becomes more true. "I don't know" can come from a place of ego and defensiveness and that supports the walls that you are creating around you and boxing you in. When you are boxed in you have the same experiences...
