August 6, 2026 · 7m

606: You Don't Know Me Like That! (pt 1): When We Mistake Intuition for Authority

Aug 5 · 15m

Not everyone deserves a front-row seat to your identity, especially when they think they know it better than you do! In episode 606, Maria ponders why people sometimes speak with confidence about lives they don't truly know, the difference between intuition and assumption (and even insecurity), and why knowing who you "belong to" makes it easier to reject misplaced authority. Now is the perfect time to stop receiving outside narratives that were never meant for you to accept.FILL OUT THE PODCAST SURVEY HERE: https://forms.gle/adxbnMAeejfApM1T7Join my email list: spiritualhomegirl.ck.page/emailSubscribe to Spiritual Homegirl’s YouTube here: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UClfzaF9Vr-xEPh9WBaEBhww?sub_confirmation=1Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/spiritualhomegirl/Follow Make Peace With the Day: https://instagram.com/makepeacewiththedayCheck me out on Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/SpiritualHomegirl/Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

605-give Yourself Another Chance.

Aug 1 · 9m

Grief isn't always about death. Sometimes it's the quiet (or loud) loss of a season, an identity, a dream, a job, or a version of yourself that no longer fits. In Episode 605, we continue the conversation from Episode 604 about how it's possible to grieve what you've lost while embracing what you're becoming. Give yourself permission to grieve, while also giving yourself another chance to grow.FILL OUT THE PODCAST SURVEY HERE: https://forms.gle/adxbnMAeejfApM1T7Join my email list: spiritualhomegirl.ck.page/emailSubscribe to Spiritual Homegirl’s YouTube here: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UClfzaF9Vr-xEPh9WBaEBhww?sub_confirmation=1Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/spiritualhomegirl/Follow Make Peace With the Day: https://instagram.com/makepeacewiththedayCheck me out on Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/SpiritualHomegirl/Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

604-desperation is a Terrible Life Partner.

Aug 1 · 25m

Desperation has a way of convincing us that we have no time, no options, and no way out, but that's rarely the truth! In Episode 604, we talk about how desperation clouds our judgment, stomps out our intuition, lowers our standards, steals our abundance mindset, and pulls us away from faith in the name of instant gratification. Join me for the next 25 minutes as we unpack why desperation is a terrible life partner, and how choosing pausing for clarity over pressure and urgency can change the trajectory of your life.FILL OUT THE PODCAST SURVEY HERE: https://forms.gle/adxbnMAeejfApM1T7Join my email list: spiritualhomegirl.ck.page/emailSubscribe to Spiritual Homegirl’s YouTube here: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UClfzaF9Vr-xEPh9WBaEBhww?sub_confirmation=1Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/spiritualhomegirl/Follow Make Peace With the Day: https://instagram.com/makepeacewiththedayCheck me out on Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/SpiritualHomegirl/Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

602: You're Not "unhealed", They're Just Out of Line

Jan 23 · 25m

In this episode, we’re talking about nuance, because healing is not this strict “either you’re healed or you’re unhealed” type of thing that we see presented on the internet and on social media. Life is way more layered than that.You can be doing the work, and still catch the shade.You can be growing...and still check negativity.You can be healing...and still have boundaries.Setting boundaries, speaking up, and protecting your peace is not automatically "going backwards", it can also be a sign that you're evolving.FILL OUT THE PODCAST SURVEY HERE: https://forms.gle/adxbnMAeejfApM1T7Join my email list: spiritualhomegirl.ck.page/emailSubscribe to Spiritual Homegirl’s YouTube here: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UClfzaF9Vr-xEPh9WBaEBhww?sub_confirmation=1Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/spiritualhomegirl/Follow Make Peace With the Day: https://instagram.com/makepeacewiththedayCheck me out on Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/SpiritualHomegirl/

601-the Privilege of Conflict: Lessons From Cardi and Nicki

Oct 1 · 35m

Today’s episode is inspired by the beef between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. The power to engage is a choice, and inviting someone or obliging someone in conflict is a privilege, not a right. Today’s episode talks about how important it is to exercise your power of choice and privilege, and how there is always a loss when engaging in conflict for the love of the game. We went vintage Homegirl today and this is a longer episode, so get a snack and strap in. We’re going on a ride.

600-copy-paste Culture Vs. Sacred Work— the Episode 600 Throwdown

Jul 3 · 23m

For my 600th show I’m celebrating and sounding the alarm: another wannabe just tried to swipe my Spiritual Homegirl name...making it 16 thieves (90 % of them from our own Black community, and we will talk about that today as well, because we are silent about the abusers of our IP within our own community in the face of faux unity, which causes more harm than good). Let’s unpack why “copy-paste spirituality” is a symptom of scarcity thinking, how calling yourself “spiritual” while stealing exposes your disbelief in your own abundance, and, most importantly, why you must FIGHT to guard whatever you hold sacred, from your brand to your boundaries.FILL OUT THE PODCAST SURVEY HERE: https://forms.gle/adxbnMAeejfApM1T7Join my email list: spiritualhomegirl.ck.page/emailSubscribe to Spiritual Homegirl’s YouTube here: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UClfzaF9Vr-xEPh9WBaEBhww?sub_confirmation=1Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/spiritualhomegirl/Follow Make Peace With the Day: https://instagram.com/makepeacewiththedayCheck me out on Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/SpiritualHomegirl/
