About this listen

 Join host Nyomi Banks on The Season of Self-Love Podcast for a raw and vulnerable special episode addressing the fear that haunts so many: "Will my past define my worth forever?" Inspired by a DM asking "Do you struggle wondering how others might view your past?", Nyomi shares her journey from the adult industry to healing advocate and teaches you how to reclaim your narrative and live unashamed.
In This Episode: • The difference between guilt ("I did something wrong") vs. shame ("I am wrong") • How to reframe your past as your power, not your prison • Why women carry shame differently than men in society • The DVD Principles for reclamation: Decision, Visualization, Discipline • Four practical tools for living unashamed daily • Nyomi's original song "Reclaimed & Unashamed" from her album • Setting boundaries: Not everyone deserves access to your full story
Nyomi's Three Pivotal Moments:
  1. Age 13: Flat-chested, questioning if breasts defined womanhood
  2. Age 31-37: Building a career in the adult industry that gave her power and voice
  3. Age 53: Post-explant surgery, realizing every judged decision brought her to freedom
Four Practical Tools to Live Unashamed:
Tool #1: The Narrative Rewrite Framework: "I used to ___, and now I ___" Example: "I used to work in an industry that society judged, but that experience taught me about power and boundaries. Now I use that wisdom to help women heal and step into their authentic selves."
Tool #2: Boundary Setting When judgment shows up, you have options:
  • Educate (if you have the energy)
  • Redirect: "I appreciate your concern, but I'm at peace with my journey"
  • Decline: "That's not my story to defend"
Tool #3: Spiritual Grounding Create an altar space with items representing your reclamation. Use these daily affirmations:
  1. "I release the need for others' approval. My validation comes from within."
  2. "My past is my power, not my prison. I am reclaimed."
  3. "I am woman/man, whole and complete, exactly as I am."
Color Healing Practice:
  • Red (Root): Reclamation, grounding, standing firm in truth
  • Gold (Solar Plexus): Power, owning your voice
  • Green (Heart): Self-love, compassion for all versions of yourself
  • Violet (Crown): Spiritual alignment, higher purpose
Tool #4: Community Over Judgment Build your circle with people who celebrate your evolution, not those who keep you tied to your past.
Powerful Truths:
  • "Your past doesn't define you. Your choices today do."
  • "You are not on trial. You don't owe anyone an explanation for your transformation."
  • "Reclamation is an act of self-love and spiritual alignment."
  • "Your past is not a liability. It is your superpower."
The Rebirth Concept: Rebirth isn't about erasing who you were—it's about integrating all versions of yourself. Past self + present self co-exist to create the amazing person doing amazing things.
Perfect for listeners interested in:
  • Overcoming shame and judgment from your past
  • Reinventing yourself and living authentically
  • Breaking free from societal expectations
  • Reclaiming your narrative and voice
