I Am Afi G: What We Carry is a podcast about the things passed down through blood, silence, and survival — and what it takes to transform them.
Hosted by Coach Afi G, Spiritual Life Coach and Ancestral Healing Practitioner, each episode moves through the intersections of intergenerational trauma, emotional shadow work, ancestral healing, and lineage narrative — drawing from Afro-Diasporic spiritual traditions, epigenetics, and over time 30 years of healing practice.
This is a space for Black, Afro-Diasporic, and Latino/Latine communities — and for anyone who has ever felt the weight of what their family couldn't say out loud. Whether you're beginning your healing journey or deepening a practice you've carried for years, you'll find here what most spaces don't offer: a conversation that honors both your wounds and your lineage with equal reverence.
What your ancestors couldn't finish — you can.

Send us Fan Mail What if reclaiming who you come from is one of the most powerful healing acts available to you? In this episode — the opening of the season's final movement — Coach Afi G explores cultural identity not as nostalgia, but as medicine. Moving beyond the surface of food and festivity, he speaks to the deeper inheritance that lives in the blood itself, and why so many of us feel a quiet incompleteness we can never quite name. This is a conversation about coming home. Coach Afi G s...

Thi...

The Mother Wound & The Father Wound in the Lineage
Send us Fan Mail What if the wounds we trace back to our mother and father were never fully theirs to begin with? In this episode, Coach Afi G explores two of the most primal forces that shape every human life: the mother principle and the father principle. Rather than treating them as simply the people who raised us, he approaches them as energies we each carry within: one that governs our sense of safety, center, and the capacity to love; the other that governs our sense of direction, footi...

What the Body Remembers When the Mind Forgets
Send us Fan Mail You've done the work. You've read the books, said the affirmations, sat in the therapy, learned to talk yourself down off the ledge. So why does the wound still not move? In this episode — the opening of Movement Two of Season One — Coach Afi G reveals the answer that changes everything: you cannot think your way out of what was never installed through thinking. The deepest wounds we carry don't live in the mind. They live in the body. Through vivid, real-life portraits...

Lineage Is Not the Same as Genealogy
Send us Fan Mail What if you believed you were locked out of your own ancestry because you don't know the names, the records, the stories?

Drawing from over 25 years of healing practice and the spiritual wisdom of Afro-Diasporic ancestral traditions, Coach Afi G unpacks a distinction that changes everything. Lineage is not the same as genea...
