Peace Family, >> Forgive me for the muzzled mic sounds y'all.
My whole world changed the day I found out that the love between my husband and me had evolved into a precious soul set to enter this world come spring.
The journey from maidenhood to motherhood is a transformation unlike any other - a season of profound change, growth and faith. In today's episode I share the intimate, soul-stirring reflections that have come to define this chapter of my life.
I share about rebirth cycles, the miracle of life and how my faith walk has transformed since I first found out we're expecting.
I personally moved through anxious momma thoughts when things felt extremely uncertain but also immense joy come the second trimester (I'll share more about soon).
The excitement I feel to meet our little one, is otherworldly at this point.
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Psalm 139:13-16

Peace Family,
Happy Spring!! <3 I created a poll on my Instagram story to get some input about topics you're interested in hearing from me. This was the most voted on topic so I'm excited to share what has helped me over the years physically, mentally, and spiritually.
At 12:02 I shared about physical *healthy girl habits* that I've implemented over the past two years.
Being a well nourished woman is foundational to assist you hormonally on all levels. I have personally introduced bone broth, raw milk, grass-fed unflavored beef gelatin in my teas and baked treats and grass-fed beef liver to my diet. I also cook with ghee(clarified butter) and organic pasteurized butter to avoid seed oils. I forgot to mention on this episode that I do use extra virgin olive oil from time to time.
In the past few years I havenāt been on a diet, but Iāve managed to lose a substantial amount of weight by learning to eat with my natural hormonal cycle to optimize my metabolism and maintain bodily homeostasis. I donāt calorie restrict at all. I keep it simple focusing on protein, carb, fat - for a balanced diet. I also focus on eating whole foods more than processed foods.
(If you'd like to hear more details about my specific meals and routine, let me know on IG or email me at deekyubwa@gmail.com so I can share in detail on here or substack).
At 25:29 I shared about mental girl habits I've implemented over the years.
Avoiding morning phone use, prioritizing movement, staying connected to your creativity and opening up the living Word!
Irreplaceable Creatrix Audio Immersion
Sacred Rebirths - Poetry Collection
At 37:02 I shared about spiritual girl habits that's helped keep me stay sane in this wild world!
Use your voice to commune, to receive, to pray, and connect with God deeper. Talking about God with others and cultivating your own personal relationship with him is game changing to live a more meaningful life. I invite you to find the community that speaks to you and calls you higher at the same time. If you don't have anyone else to talk to about in this area of your life, I gotchu.

John incorporates the four primary aspects of emotional pain into the creation of the Love Letter process. It begins with anger, sadness, fear, regret and then ends with love. As love is the beginning of everything. At 13 minutes I sum up what men generally feel in the process of their love letters. At 14 minutes I break down what a response letter is how it can be helpful. At 21 minutes I speak about valuing and striving for a life-giving union. At 28 minutes I begin Chapter 12 - How To Ask For Support & Get It. I spoke about how the wounded feminine can result in unconscious or conscious entitlement by having a demanding attitude. Would you consider yourself a direct or non-direct communicator? Do you see a difference between "could you" and "would you" statements when asking for support? At 50 minutes I speak about the wounded feminine and how we as women, desire his SPINE and HEART. At 56 minutes I broke down why John says "love can be programming." At 1:05 minutes, I spoke about this private community you may be interested in. Thank you so much for being an active participate in this book review series and on Diary of the Devoted in general. DM me on IG and let me know your thoughts on this series so far if you feel called!

Peace Family,
Today I shared part 1 of the book review - "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" by John Gray. I shared some takeaways from Chapters 1-7 and how it serves us to be:
1. Appreciative of men and women's differences
2. Willing to move past our wounds by the strength\grace of God
3. Understanding of our instinctual urges
To further help us co-create harmonious relationships! I love love and love learning about human behavior, especially as a heart-led woman here on earth. I pray this episode meets you well. Let me know how this lands for you and stay tuned for Part 2!

Shoutout to the ladies who've been on this journey of feminine maturation and remembrance this year. Your 'work' or really love does not go unnoticed.

I generally opt for grass-fed beef, organic meats, organic\pasteurized eggs and all but know that there's no need to be dogmatic about it. Consuming more bioavailable foods WHILE listening to how your body responds, is vital if you choose to cycle sync!
I generally eat the same foods during my entire cycle although I consume more beef during the luteal phase to support my iron levels. Eating a high protein and simplistic diet has supported my hormones over the past year in great deal.
In this episode I shared about the benefits of beef, eggs, butter, raw milk and chicken. I hope this episode helps support you on your own personal journey!
Feel free to DM me on instagram if you have any other questions about food pairings and hormonal health tips.
Also, I'm still learning how to articulate myself when it comes to sharing about health... let me know if these types of episodes are of value to you. <3

Today I shared 10 ways you're possibly contributing to bodily disconnection. Take what resonates, leave what doesn't of course. <3
1. Being on hormonal birth control
2. You don't welcome rest or slowing down (beyond what you are comfortable with)
3. Not knowing your bodies language (cycle syncing)
and so much more!
