The Life, Death, & Rebirth Of MarleyAyo 03/31/2023

The Life, Death, & Rebirth Of MarleyAyo This episode was assigned to me by Spirit a few nights after returning from Sharm and the first Hold Us Sacred Retreat. It is a tribute to MarleyAyo, and eulogy of sorts, that I believe Oya, compelled me to record and rewatch to aid me in my own grieving process, and to give me full permission and power to rebuild MarleyAyo from my deepest desires and knowing. I also believe I was called to record this episode to liberate anyone struggling in their decolonized entrepreneurship journey. One breath at a time, one intention at a time. We are building a new world. Let's be gentle. If you are new to Shaping The Shift Podcast, Welcome! We have many delicious episodes for you to binge and would love to earn your positive reviews, shares, and listenership. This episode is also available (imperfections and all!) on YOUTUBE, which gives it another level of life. Thank you for tuning in, subscribing, and becoming a part of our shiftshaping community!
