Welcome to Shedding Layers Podcast—a space for anyone who's ready to break free from the cycles that keep them feeling stuck and unfulfilled. Are you tired of feeling drained, disconnected, or like something's missing? Ready to shed layers of limiting beliefs and uncover the authentic, unstoppable version of you? In each episode, we explore powerful ways to reset your mind and body, helping you step into the life you’ve been craving. If you're ready for transformation, you're in the right place. Tune in and start your journey today.
In this episode, I share how a simple moment of getting dressed revealed a powerful energetic code: Less truly is more. From simplifying clothing and accessories to exploring the deeper layers of energy, we journey through how holding onto too much—whether it's stuff, habits, or beliefs—can block our natural flow. I dive into cultural programming, music conditioning like “more money, more problems,” and how society often glorifies doing and having more at the cost of our inner peace.
We reflect on what it means to rebel gently, like Katniss Everdeen, and choose a life aligned with our highest, truest selves. Together, we explore patterns, the dance of masculine and feminine energy, and ask: What do you need to let go of to receive more of what you truly desire?

It's Safe to allow
In this powerful and vulnerable episode, I share the raw truth of what surfaced during the recent super full moon—a deep layer of inherited guilt I’ve unknowingly carried for 27 years. For the first time, I allowed myself to feel good… without punishment, without shame. I speak directly to my younger self: I forgive you, Ayanna. It wasn’t your fault.
Join me as I explore what it means to allow—to surrender control, to integrate masculine and feminine energy, and to code a new reality from the inside out. This moment feels like an energetic rebirth, a reintroduction to the woman I’ve always been becoming. It’s messy, beautiful, and incredibly expansive.
If you’ve ever struggled with giving yourself permission to feel good, to evolve, or to simply be—you’ll feel seen here.
It’s safe now. It’s safe to allow.

Alter Your Lens
In this thought-provoking episode of Shedding Layers, I invite you to explore the power of perception. I share a recent encounter with a salesperson that reminded me of the importance of being intentional with the energy we emit into the collective frequency. I also read a heartfelt excerpt from my new book, The Liberation Code—a poem titled Altered Lens, originally written in 2012. This piece speaks to a timeless truth: when we shift the way we see, we shift the way we live. True transformation begins within. By altering your lens, you open the door to deeper peace, joy, and fulfillment. Tune in to remember that your inner world creates your outer reality.

Embracing Uncertainty; Leaning Into the Unknown
In this soul-stirring episode of Shedding Layers, I reflect on the power of embracing uncertainty as a portal to transformation. I share a heartfelt passage from my book, "The Liberation Code", exploring how fear marks the boundary of the known—and how growth only happens when we dare to cross it. I unpack the internal battle of leaving behind the illusion of safety and familiarity for the vast unknown, and how solitude became the sacred space where I discovered my truth.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle that no longer serves you, this episode is your invitation to let go, lean into discomfort, and trust the process of becoming. As Michael A. Singer says, “You must go through the darkest night to get to the infinite light.”
Tune in to reclaim your power, awaken your courage, and begin walking your own path—uncertain, unfiltered, and unapologetically free.

Breakdowns are really breakthroughs- Burnout is a path to self discovery
Welcome back to Shedding Layers! In this heartfelt episode, we’re exploring the transformative power of burnout. Often seen as the end of the road, burnout is actually a profound call to awaken to your authentic self. What if your breakdown isn’t the end, but the beginning of a breakthrough?
Join me as I share my personal story of navigating burnout—balancing motherhood, a demanding career, and societal expectations—until the day I walked away from it all. From the ashes of my corporate life, I rediscovered who I truly am, finding freedom, purpose, and joy through the practices of yoga, meditation, and reflection.
We’ll discuss how breakdowns strip away the inauthentic, reveal our truth, and offer a path to healing. Drawing wisdom from spiritual teachers like Pema Chödrön and Eckhart Tolle, we’ll explore how moments of stillness can be the birthplace of transformation.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How to recognize burnout as a signal for change.
• Steps to turn breakdowns into breakthroughs.
• A guided reflective exercise to help you release and realign.
Remember: You are not broken; you are breaking through.
