Ep 372: Identity and Community with Ayesha Ophelia

Is your identity of your own creation?

Too often, we accept the labels others give us without a second thought. But when you sit with these labels–about your beliefs, your background, your identity–you may find that they don’t align with you. You have the power to claim or reject these labels and craft an identity for yourself.

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Ayesha Ophelia about her journey to defining her own identity and sense of community.

Though she’s always been creative, Ayesha found her true passion as a creator and curator in the digital space. But this space comes with a narrow view of identity, something Ayesha refused to accept.

Instead of assuming the labels she’d be given, Ayesha rejected the ones that didn’t align with her and crafted her own identity through creative expression. And by sharing her love and creative work online, she’s been able to form a community of people committed to doing the same.

Join us in today’s episode as we discuss taking control of your own identity and being open to new levels of understanding. Ayesha shares how she flows through her creative journey, practices radical faith, and nurtures her small but sacred community.

About the EMBODIED Podcast with Elizabeth DiAlto 

Since 2013 I’ve been developing a body of work that helps women embody self love, healing and wholeness. We do this by focusing on the four levels of consciousness - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

In practical terms this looks like exploring tools and practices to help you  tune into the deep wisdom of the body and the knowing of the heart, which I believe are gateways to our souls. Then we cultivate a new relationship with our minds that allows the mind to serve this wisdom and knowing and soul connection, rather than override it, which is what many of us were taught.

If you’ve been doing self help or spiritual development work for a while, these are the types of foundational things that often people overlook in pursuit of fancier concepts that often aren’t practical or sustainable. Here, we will focus on building these strong foundations so you can honestly and thoroughly embody self love.
