Jul 8 Episode 75: How To Work With The Womb To Access Your Inner Power & Heal Past & Future Generations

This week on the #MoneyMagic Podcast, I talked to Shanika Malcolm, the founder of Starseed Landing, an organization that focuses on regenerative living, consciousness, and transformation on the planet to help people live in harmony with nature. Shanika is passionate about helping people live an empowered, authentic, and real life.

If you didn’t know, Shanika is the first African American woman to complete the Naked and Afraid 21-day challenge in Chiapas, Mexico in the Jungle. She loves connecting with nature, and as with so many things that Shanika is into, there’s not enough representation of people of color, but this has not prevented her from achieving. Her mission is to create a path for people of color, especially women, to feel confident and comfortable in their quest.

In this episode, Shanika shares how she has always had home births with just her boyfriend and/or a midwife, without attending a single appointment with doctors or going for check ins and just working with her body and how her kids very rarely fall ill. She also shares what it’s like to travel the world with 3 kids, who are getting homeschooled.

She also discusses with us how as women, we’re constantly forced to make ourselves smaller and how a lot of the beliefs that we have about ourselves are not our own. Most of our beliefs come from a traumatic, wounded, and unnatural society, which makes self-awareness and healing very important. Healing yourself is healing the ancestors and the next generation. Healing yourself is also healing the planet. You heal backward in time and forward in time, and it starts with your womb. That is your power center, which holds many emotions and energy.

Becoming self-aware of what you think about yourself, connecting with the body, and working with the womb will help you align your beliefs with what you want to feel, heal, feel comfortable in your body, and build confidence.
