FEEL GOOD The Podcast Hosted by Malika Lee

Why did she spend so much time talking about the feminine energy and how it operates? What does that have to do with answering inner calls? In this episode we answer those questions and how having an understanding and healthy respect for the feminine energy is having a healthy respect and willingness to take heed to and recognize your soul's calls to you.

This isn't the normal commentary about the show, we know Beyonce is going to serve & leave it all on the stage. To be honest, I went to be inspired & feel joy. I was surprised when I didn't feel joy at all. I had to spend time unpacking why which is what I explore here.

In episode I talk about life being a classroom and our varying and shared experiences. Check it out if you haven't listened to it. Anyway, I build on that idea here and look at both the blessings and challenges of the curriculum shared by women of the African diaspora whether you are Beyonce or Keshia trying to be her best self at the medical clinic she works at.

Rounding out the 3 part intuition series, I offer a personal specific example of when I answered the inner call, that still small voice, and didn't get the outcome I expected or wanted. There was definitely a period of confusion and uncertanity. However, once everything unfolded, it was just what my soul needed.

Continuing with the theme and exploration of the value of the feminine energy and its gifts in the previous episode, it felt only right to insert here an exploration of how times are changing as it relates to the feminine energy & women. This change as it relates to women, money, power, and toxic masculinity are reflected by recent news about Cassie and Diddy.

I can show you better than I can tell you. Building on the 1st part of the intuition series called: 1 Intuition Women Rising, we discuss the 1993 film with Bill Murray, Groundhog Day, as a demonstration & showing the benefits of trusting your feeling sense as demonstrated by one of the characters. Please note there may be a spoiler in here.

It's official, FEEL GOOD The Podcast is has a new name & image. As I mentioned in the mess in progress, you all are getting a little behind the scenese action. Sometimes we have to keep moving forward even when... fill in the blank with any good reason or feable excuse here.

What are you waiting on? Are you going to answer the inner call or what? ; )

How you end one thing is how you start the next. Keeping that type of energy, it felt right to pull the curtain back and share the inspiration about the name FEEL GOOD before the new name is announced. Whether something feels good or not is important information!

I want to thank all the past guests and you, the listeners of Feel Good The Podcast. I look forward to sharing more inspiring and empowering content as the journey continues under the new name, announced soon. : )

In this episode we explore the case for why we should value and listen to our intuition and how it is a woman's super power in contrast to a man's super power of being physically stronger compared to most women. There is also a movie recommendation that exemplifies the power of our intuitive sense that will be explored in the next episode.

In the intro episode I quoted Oprah's phrase, "Life is a classroom." In this episode we take out the canvas and paint an analogy likening our life classrooms to sitting in traffic. Our lives and experiences could be just as layered, dynamic, and varied as this. But the deeper question is, what has it taught you so far?

A BIG part of healing work is being honest with yourself! (Or having someone be honest with you and being able to accept their feedback/reflection). Anyway, here I had a moment of insight about that old pattern of perfectionism showing up after my previous episode on honoring the mess! So, just like any other mess, I had to come clean. : ) 

If you are ready to make progress but things just keep getting in the way. Maybe you aren't meant to do it alone. Schedule an audio call/consult to explore working with Malika.

In the previous episode I mentioned that I've been changing and feel called to change some things on this platform too. Oprah has said, "Life is a classroom." I plan to do a deep dive all centered around this context of our daily lives through the lens of Spirituality, Psychology, Urban Philosophy and so muh more. I invite you to join me on this journey that is intended to lead to transformation, liberation, and joy.

Any perfectionists or former perfectionists here? This short reflection is modeling a lesson I'm moving through in real time; moving forward and sharing before I feel "ready" or before everything is in place and things are "perfect" or at least more put together.

As I've been experiencing a deep inner renovation, these changes impact me (obviously) and those around me whether other humans, projects I'm a part of, etc. This podcast is no exception. Things are a changing & I wanted to pull back the curtain and share a bit even if those things are still in flux & in process (i.e. a bit messy).

Guest Angela Amias, LCSW, is a trauma informed relationship therapist. We discuss the loneliness epidemic and her lessons learned in healing her own relationship trauma as well as those of the many clients she's worked with.

Along with her partner, Daniel Boscaljon, PhD, they have distilled learnings of trauma responses in relationships to 5 relationship archetypes. These archetypes provide insight into the patterns we default to in navigating the relationships that matter most and how to transcend them to be authentic and still feel connected. Lastly, we talk about the essential ingredients of a nurturing connection.

Maleah Jackson was one of millions who left her lucrative job in recent years to become a full time entrepreneur as a consultant with her company, Makari Consulting. In our conversation we talk in detail about fear, faith, having a safety net, and what life was like after leaving her job. We also discuss how taking the leap also applies to relationships when we are afraid to let go or challenge the status quo of existing relationships.  Lastly she shares who she has become as a result of deepening her faith in God and ultimately, herself.

A Course In Miracles has been a great presence in my life that I often don't talk about. Over the years I've read many books, taken courses, gone to therapy, and much more. Of all those things, I attribute The Course to answering many unanswered questions I've had for a long time and it has given me a greater Spiritual context to live each day in; one that is empowering and helped me feel more loving and peaceful as I practice it over time. It has been such a private journey for a long time and recently I've felt inspired to share its teachings combined with my teaching style and personal experiences in a way I've never seen. Intrigued?

When the dominant group expresses anger it is usually respected as an expression of power. But that same anger is usually discouraged, undermined, and/or disregarded when it is expressed by an oppressed group. In patriarchal societies, for many centuries women have been socialized to ignore, suppress, or discount their feelings/anger/needs to keep the peace.

My three female guests all managed to go against the grain and keep a relationship with their anger. We discuss their challenges, learnings, and the gifts of sometimes being an angry woman!
