Mariama (00:00) Hello, I'm packing and I'm painting and painting in my journal to answer some of the questions that we talked about. And I figured I'd just call you right now because, or message you right now because I cannot feel like I want to stop. I shouldn't say this, I want to say it differently. I feel like I just want to cry, cry, cry, cry, cry.

I'm crying. I don't want to go home. I don't want go home. And I'm sitting here thinking about it and trying to feel into it. it that I don't want to go home because everything's upended? Or there's a little bit of that? Or is it just that I don't know that that's home anymore?

but I don't know where home is yet either.

and I don't think I'm running away.

Those aren't feelings, I don't feel like I'm running away. It just feels like I know that something else is supposed to come.

And going home feels like...

I'm gonna say stepping backwards, because that's what came to me, but I don't think that's correct either. I mean, there's no right or wrong, just noticing how I'm feeling.

And I've never felt this emotional leaving a trip, And granted, this is very different trip I know.

But yeah, I feel like I needed to express it because I needed to express it, not hold it in or because what I would do is have the feelings probably and just keep listening to music and doing other things. But instead I'm like, I don't want to go. And I want to feel that I don't want to go. OK, I'm going to listen to your message now.

You deserve to the life that you desire. Your passions are a part of you for a reason. And when you don't follow your passions or listen to your call, things can get rough. You don't have to take some massive intimidating leap.

One small step each day leads to lasting change. So let's get started by accepting our passions are here in the first place, because this is life activated. I'm your host and guide, Mariama, here to help you recenter life on your passions and purpose so you can feel good inside because you deserve it.

I honestly don't think I have been this excited for a new season of the Life Activated podcast as I am for this particular season. And before we dive into the season, I figured it's again been a hot minute. So I want to give you a life recap since the last time you heard from me. I am funny enough back on Mali.

But the last time I was here, it felt more like a deep time for healing. And I feel truly like I am almost, and I say this, almost, out of the portal of learning and healing. And I am ⁓

figuring out how to reemerge into the world. And when I mean the world, I don't mean life in general. I mean the world of sharing on a podcast, the world of sharing in social media, in my communities, in my email. I have been doing and hosting, I should say, in real life, IRL.

Events which have been life-giving for me. I don't think I realize how much I enjoy connecting with people in person and sharing with individuals and community and yeah, there's something about the energy of being in person that I'm just really loving right now.

I do plan to hold and host, I should say, more in-person type events when I'm back on the West Coast. So that means Pacific Northwest, Bay Area for my peeps. I've also been learning how to read the Matrix of Destiny charts. It's literally been mind-blowing. So if you're into human design or any other meaning-making systems, this is something you're going to love.

I'll be sharing more about that shortly. I'm going to be having a beta offer, just plugging this now, letting you know it's coming. And honestly, by the time this airs, the beta may be out and done. And I might just be offering Matrix of Destiny readings as part of my work. But who knows? To be honest, I am really learning how to be in the flow more than I ever have been. And that means

following my energy, hearing and listening to my energy. With that though, I do want to say, like, Matrix of Destiny, I have been doing some readings for people because, you know, I'm just figuring it out and learning and part of my learning has been that I have to do readings. And messages I'm getting seriously are like, my God, this is amazing and dead on, or I'm spinning because

of the accuracy. So yes, I'm teasing you, but Matrix of Destiny is where it's at and I am looking forward to sharing more about that with you and potentially doing readings with you, for you. And enough about that. Let's literally talk about the season because it's going to be, in my humble opinion, a banger. That's right. I have so much that I want to share with you about

this cycle or season of transformation, which began for me at the time of the recording that I shared at the beginning of this episode. And that was this time in Majorca over a year ago. And it really does feel like the beginning of the shift of when I started to feel my

feelings, all of my feelings again, when I really started to connect with embodying who I am ⁓ fully and being more and more of myself. I worked with ⁓ Chelsea Reif on this season and I truly am so excited to share because something I know about myself and I've learned through podcasting is I want to dump everything in one episode.

And that's not the way to go for this season. It really did and does require me to pull out the nuggets and tidbits of learning is how I want to say it to you. So I want to give you a little teaser of what's coming. And I would just say, you know, the first thing is I'm going to be talking a little bit more about the courage that it takes to defy your own expectations of

who you think you are and how you operate in this world, connecting to the fact that we are enough, you are enough, I am enough, and changing the way that I embrace who I am by exploring parts of myself that have been.

hidden that have been almost even pieces of myself that I've known, but I just maybe put them deep, deep, deep, deep, deep in the well when I needed to let them emerge. realizing that I'm not here to be anything other than myself, that means I don't need to convince anyone. And it also means following the mysteries of the unknown.

So, yeah, I just kind of gave you little teasers of what to expect for the season. And I am looking so forward to sharing the learnings, the transformation with you, hopefully hearing from you and how you're moving through your life and your transformations and being in like true

Human Design, 6'2", know, Hermit role model who's come off the roof to share and role model being who you are. I don't know, that may feel deep or it may feel just out there, but hopefully, actually not even hopefully, if you are here and you're listening, you get it. And that is also a shift that I'm making in the world, remembering who I am and knowing that that's an

If today's episode resonated with you, share your thoughts and feelings in any review section to let me know where you're at on your journey. It's in you big love to bring those passions to life because remember you deserve it.
