    Nov 5 2025
    Join host Nyomi Banks on The Season of Self-Love Podcast for a transformative Wisdom Wednesday conversation with Christian de la Huerta—spiritual teacher, breathwork facilitator, and author with 30 years of experience guiding people through deep personal transformation. Explore how personal growth ties into collective healing and why conscious love is the foundation of authentic connection.In This Episode: • Understanding the ego mind: Why we get stuck in power struggles • The difference between intensity and intimacy in relationships• How unconscious wounds from childhood sabotage our relationships• Breathwork as a tool for healing past trauma stored in the body• Why self-knowledge is the foundation of loving others• The power of surrender as an empowering (not disempowering) act • Distinguishing worldly power from soulful power• Why women's empowerment is critical for global healingAbout Christian de la Huerta: For 30 years, Christian has been guiding people through deep personal transformation. His wisdom spans spirituality, breathwork, and emotional healing. His latest book, Conscious Love: Transforming Our Relationship to Relationships, helps people break through patterns that block real, meaningful connection.Key Concepts Explored: The Ego Mind Explained: Christian offers a powerful visual: "If you put a baseball in the center of a stadium, that's the ego. Who we are is actually the freaking stadium."The ego = sense of separate identity (the "I")We've allowed this tiny part of who we are to think it's ALL who we areThe ego makes important life choices from a limited, fear-based perspectiveUnderstanding the ego allows us to pause before reacting and choose our responseWhy Relationships Fail: Most people struggle with relationships because:We approach them expecting someone to "complete us" or "make us happy"We're running relationships from subconscious wounds we're not even aware ofWe react to present situations based on old hurts and childhood conclusionsWe suppress painful beliefs ("I'm not good enough") which then sabotage our relationshipsWe attract the wrong people or people who aren't available as a form of self-sabotageThe Honeymoon Phase vs. Real Love: Adapted from Scott Peck's The Road Less Traveled:Initial infatuation/lust = collapsed ego boundaries (feels amazing but temporary)When the honeymoon ends (3-9 months), ego walls come back upReal loving begins when the honeymoon endsLove isn't the feeling—it's the act of placing ourselves outside our comfort zone for another's spiritual growthWe confuse intensity with intimacy, lust with loveBreathwork for Healing Trauma: Christian teaches breathwork that heals past trauma quickly and effectively:Breathe in a circular connected way for 60-90 minutesBypasses the mind and goes directly to trauma stored in the bodyTalk therapy helps us understand why we do things, but trauma lives in the bodyBreathwork clears old wounds permanently—lives change after one sessionOriginally called "rebirthing" because people heal their birth trauma and resetThe Power of Surrender: From Christian's book Awakening the Soul of Power:Surrender is NOT giving up, wimping out, or throwing in the towelSurrender is an incredibly empowering and courageous actIt's about releasing control and allowing Spirit/God to leadMisunderstanding surrender keeps us stuck in ego-driven choicesTwo Types of Power:Worldly/Ego Power: Hierarchy, control, fear, force, domination—requires pushing others downSoulful Power: Gandhi, Dr. King, nonviolence—dramatic change without violenceGandhi brought the British Empire to its knees without shooting a gun or landing a punchWe reject power because we fear corruption, but in doing so, we give our power awayHow many times have we said "yes" when inside it was a "no"?Why Women's Empowerment Matters: From Awakening the Soul of Power:The single most important thing that needs to happen in the worldNot to idealize women or put them on a pedestalNot to give women more mess to clean upBecause we've been running off balance between masculine and feminine energies for 6,000+ yearsPatriarchy turned the feminine into "less than" and "weakness"—a twisted lie and instrument of controlNyomi's Personal Revelation: Nyomi shares her explant journey as an example of soulful power:Had breast implants for 20+ years, causing illnessInitially wasn't going to share her journey publicly (ego/insecurity)Realized: "How can you talk about self-love when you're moving from insecurity?""I used to say I'm 80% authentic—each boob was 10%. I needed to take them out to be 100% fully connected."Watched documentary Explant and saw how authorities dismissed women's voicesBlack box warnings exist on implants, but doctors aren't required to inform patientsMisuse of power: "They dismissed most of the women's voices"Now advocates for her daughters, granddaughter, and all womenPowerful Truths Shared:"How can we expect anybody to love us if we don't love ...

  • Mindset Monday: Why Giving Back is the Ultimate Act of Self-Love | November Giving Back Series

    Mindset Monday: Why Giving Back is the Ultimate Act of Self-Love | November Giving Back Series
    Nov 3 2025
    Join host Nyomi Banks on The Season of Self-Love Podcast for a transformative Mindset Monday kicking off November's Giving Back series. Discover why the most powerful act of self-love isn't a bubble bath or spa day—it's serving others from a place of overflow and purpose. In This Episode:• Why true self-love includes recognizing you're part of something bigger• Service as spiritual practice vs. martyrdom and self-sacrifice• The Full Cup Philosophy: You can't pour from an empty cup• How your healing journey prepares you to hold space for others • The ripple effect: One person's healing inspires another's transformation• Turning your pain into purpose through authentic service • Why self-care isn't selfish—it's preparation for serviceKey Concepts Explored: Service as Spiritual Practice Nyomi reframes what service means—not sacrifice or depletion, but alignment with purpose:Every morning at her altar, she asks: "How can I be of service today?"Service rooted in spiritual practice connects us to something greater than ourselvesWhen service becomes prayer, it stops feeling like obligation and starts feeling like devotionTrue service isn't about what you're doing for someone—it's about who you're being through the actThe Full Cup Philosophy Self-care isn't selfish—it's preparation for service:You can't pour from an empty cup (but there's deeper truth here)Self-care = filling your cup so when it's time to pour out, you have something substantial to givePouring from an empty cup = service feels like sacrifice, leads to burnout and resentmentPouring from overflow = service feels like joy, purpose, and extension of your abundanceWatching you fill your cup gives others permission to fill theirs tooThe Ripple Effect One woman's healing inspires another, creating waves of transformation:Nyomi's story gave women permission to start their own healing journeysSome started podcasts, wrote books, created healing businesses after hearing her truthYou don't always see the ripples you create, but trust they're thereEvery time you choose healing over hiding, you create a rippleYour healing isn't just for you—it's for your children, friends, and strangers who need your storyService That Honors Your Journey Every struggle was preparation:Your pain wasn't given as a gift, but once you survive and heal, you have a choiceKeep that healing to yourself OR use it to light the way for othersWhen you choose service, you reclaim your pain and give it new meaningYou transform what happened TO you into something that happens FOR someone elseThat's alchemy: turning wounds into wisdomNyomi's Personal Stories: The Divine Download Post-Surgery: After explant surgery, tender chest and heart, Nyomi felt an overwhelming knowing: "Your story is someone else's survival guide." She realized everything she'd been through—the pain, shame, unraveling, rebuilding—wasn't just for her.Her Daughter's Birthday Call: Nyomi's oldest daughter (turning 34) called in tears to say thank you: "I moved here 10 years ago at 24 with my baby in a suitcase, wondering how I'd make it without my mama. Now I feel so full. Thank you for talking into me and having hard conversations." Nyomi told her: "Now that you've been through your healing journey, your pain has to be purposeful. Share your story."The Journey from Adult Industry to Healing Advocate:Initially resistant: "Who am I to help anyone? I'm still healing myself."Realized: You don't have to be fully healed to help someone elseThe most powerful medicine is being a few steps ahead and saying "Let me show you the way"In sharing her story, she reclaimed itIn helping other women through explant journeys, she continues her own healingPowerful Truths Shared:"Your story is someone else's survival guide""Self-care isn't selfish. It's preparation for service.""Service isn't about what you're doing for someone. It's about who you're being through the act of service.""My pain will not be wasted. My journey will not be meaningless. I will take what tried to break me and use it to help others break free.""You don't have to have it all figured out to start serving. You just have to be willing to share where you are and what you've learned.""Your healing is never just for you. You are here to serve and the world needs what only you can give."Three Action Steps for This Week: 1. Journal Prompt: "How has someone's service to me changed my life?"Think about when someone showed up for you (teacher, friend, stranger's story)How did that service impact you and change your trajectory?What does that teach you about the power of your own service?2. Identify One Way to Serve: What's one concrete way you can be of service this week from your overflow (not depletion)?Overcome financial struggle? Mentor someone on building their businessHealed from toxic relationship? Hold space for a friend going through a breakupLearned to set boundaries? Model that for your children3. Reflection Question: "What does a ...

  • Reclaimed & Unashamed: Living Beyond Others' Judgments | Threshold Thursday Special Episode

    Reclaimed & Unashamed: Living Beyond Others' Judgments | Threshold Thursday Special Episode
    Oct 30 2025
    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
    • Setting boundaries with judgmental people
    • Spiritual grounding and chakra healing
    • Post-explant journey and body reclamation
    Special Announcements:
    • Book Release: "Reclaimed & Unashamed" drops October 14, 2026
    • Unstoppable Radical Transformation Tour: Launching 2026—first stop Las Vegas (April/May)
