Host, Krista Xiomara bids farewell to podcast Ep. 319
Dec 16, 202400:13:40Tap to summarizeWords cannot express the gratitude I feel for all the listeners and global following this podcast has created over of the last seven and half years it's been on the air. It is with a full heart and open mind that I bid farewell to my baby—I'm Awake! Now What? Podcast. It started as a place for me to build community and resonance with like-minded seekers and aspirants who were looking for answers to the deep questions. And rebels on their way to chart a new path and new Earth. My intention was to create a community for people who had left their religion of origin, identified as spiritual or non-religious but whose shared goal was to become better human beings and create a better world, through self-exploration, personal development, and healing. Our world view and experience of the divine has been shifting and changing over the last 50 or more decades. We no longer require or want a mediator to connect to God anymore. Many of us are returning to earth-based practices and intuitive self-knowing to cultivate our relationship and connection to God, Source, The Divine. This podcast has been a place where people could come and explore their own divinity and connection to divine, without structure, dogma, judgment, or instruction.
