Life is a lot! I'm constantly growing, learning and maturing in my understanding of what it means to be alive and how to apply my lessons to have an easier, more fulfilling life. I'm Tenji Moyana :) Alive is a casual blog-style podcast where I'm sharing what I'm learning about what it means to be alive and make the most of our existence. If you're into leadership, I also host the Abundant Leaders Podcast.
You read that right, I’m autistic. Officially assessed and assigned on the spectrum. And guys, so much of my life makes sense now.
I’m so grateful and relieved to know because it means I can finally accept parts of myself I’ve rejected and struggled with all my life and build a life that finally supports how I operate so that I stop burning out (or at least burn out less.
Join me as we talk about
How I got here incl. how Leo season has empowered me to deeply accept this new information with love, devotion and boldness
Why I struggled to make the decision to get diagnosed
Moving beyond the awkward white western boy/stereotype of autism so that I, as a black African female can be included and get the witnessing and validation I need
What autism is (a deepdive into the characteristics) and how it shows up for me
Coping with and integrating this new normal
PLUS - this bumper episode marks the end of the devotion series and Season 3. Thank you for joining me on this season. See you when the spark of creativity strikes again :)
Much love x

57. Life update and chit chat for the vibes
This was SUCH a fun episode to record. We need a palate cleanser after all the deep episodes of season 2 and 3 😅 so I came up with a list of random topics and updates to share with you. Grab a glass and let’s laugh, ki and thirst about hot men.
We’re talking:
The hot celebs I unapologetically thirst over - list does not include Idris Elba
What I’m loving lately - incl. cheap but amazing apps and my fabulous afro
The ghetto - what’s destroying my peace
The catch phrases living rent free in my brain - incl. “Hide your wives, hide your kids”
Things I can’t for the life for me cook, shame
Meals where I throw TF down but you probably will never know because I have severe cooking for others anxiety 😭
And more :)
See you in the epi!

56. Devotion: Choosing the broken things that cannot be fixed
How do we come to peace with who we are, what we can’t have, what we can’t fix, who we will never be, what we will never have? How do we do this so that we can be devoted to ourselves and our paths and our lives? How do we free ourselves of the tyranny of “if only”?
In this epi, I explore things in my life that Life has forced me to choose because I finally realised I couldn’t “fix” them and, quite frankly, trying to fix them was driving me mad.
I share my story accepting my sexual trauma, endometriosis and other chronic conditions I have, depression and suicidality, singleness, autism, being a Manifestor in human design, running a small solo business and more.
I explore all the ways I had to overcome societal and familial judgement about what is acceptable and not acceptable and what accepting these things says about my character, potential, capabilities, etc
Let’s chat.
