Informed Is Powerful: Advocating for Black Women’s Wellness Ep. 183

2/17/2026
This conversation requires presence. We’re joined by The Zulu Nurse; A vaginal health specialist, registered nurse, and a fierce advocate for Black women navigating medical spaces that have not always protected or prioritized us. This is necessary. She speaks directly to the realities Black women face in healthcare; the symptoms we’re told are “normal,” the questions we were never taught to ask, and the silence that too often surrounds our bodies. This episode is about advocacy. Education. Ownership. Because understanding your health should never feel uncomfortable, unreachable, or shame-filled. And in true Zen Effect fashion, we also zoom out connecting personal wellness to cultural headlines, generational shifts, and economic realities shaping our daily lives. Stay present. This one feeds both the mind and the body. Real talk about vaginal health — without shame or coded language The most common concerns Black women bring into exam rooms How medical bias shows up subtly — and how to navigate it The questions you should feel empowered to ask your provider How clarity reduces fear and builds trust with your own body A grounded perspective on conversations around Generation Z’s cognitive performance trends and what systemic shifts may actually be influencing those numbers. The 🍗 Costco rotisserie chicken lawsuit — what it reveals about consumer awareness and corporate accountability Black History Month Business Spotlight: Rebundle My take on Chipotle’s reasoning for raising prices and how to think critically about corporate narratives in today’s economy For generations, Black women have been conditioned to endure quietly. Pain normalized. Concerns dismissed. Questions minimized. But silence has never been safe. Conversations like this shift the narrative from reaction to preparation. From confusion to clarity. From shame to sovereignty. Health literacy is power. Economic awareness is power. Cultural memory is power. When we understand our bodies and the systems around us, we move differently. We advocate differently. We choose differently. And when Black women are informed entire families and communities become stronger. This episode reminds us that wellness isn’t just green juice and affirmations. It’s knowledge. It’s discernment. It’s asking one more question. It’s reading the fine print. It’s protecting your body and your dollars.

A Dysregulated Brain Can Be Retrained. Get Unhooked Ep. 180

1/27/2026
In this episode of The Zen Effect Show… Get unhooked from stress patterns, survival loops, and subconscious habits that quietly shape how we live, love, and respond to the world. So much of life isn’t driven by conscious choice. It’s driven by the subconscious mind, the nervous system, and patterns formed long before we had language for them. In this conversation, I sit with Pilar Alzate, founder of Aura Wellness of Atlanta, Neuro meditation Facilitator, and Neuroscience-based wellness practitioner. Pilar blends technology, meditation, and neuroplasticity to support people in regulating their nervous systems and reconnecting with themselves biologically and consciously. This episode supports us in navigating the subconscious mind so we can navigate life with more clarity, calm, and intention. This episode dives into how your mind actually works and how your experiences affect it and using this truth to support you in an immensely transformative way. building new neural pathways that actually stickAura Wellnesspersonalized neuro meditationbeneath the surfacefirst internal shifts people noticeTo learn how to work with the subconscious instead of fighting it, we stop forcing change and start allowing integration.

This isn’t a reward; It’s your birthright; You were born authorized | Ep. 179

1/20/2026
In this episode of The Zen Effect Show... We explore the shift from scarcity to trust and release, and the application of it. This is a conversation about how self-care isn't a reward, it's your birthright. When trust and release replace worry. When the nervous system regulates and meets you. We discuss how consciousness responds to safety and significance, why refinement in self-care directly influences how you present yourself in the world, and how abundance is more about regulation than hustle. This episode speaks to the truth that ease, support, and flow are not luxuries; They’re birthrights. WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE IN THIS EPISODE WHY THIS CONVERSATION MATTERS This episode matters because it reframes self-care as a collective recalibration, not a personal indulgence. When one nervous system learns to feel safe, it changes how that person leads, loves, creates, and contributes. This is about reclaiming inner authority and letting that authority restructure your Inner world. ZEN’S CLOSING NOTE Trust isn’t passive. It’s a practice.You are the source. You are the power. And everything flows differently when you remember that truth. This is an invitation to slow down. Refine your care. And let what’s meant for you meet you there with ease.

Pause the Panic: Discernment Is the Way Out. Ep. 178

1/13/2026
Ep. 178 This episode of The Zen Effect Show... Is an invitation to pause, not panic. To breathe. To ground. To remember: we’re gonna be alright. This is a full episode of Conscious Takes, where we explore how to discern what we allow into our minds, bodies, and lives from food and media, to culture, relationships, narratives, and fear itself. t’s about slowing the signal, noticing the invisible currents that shape us, and reclaiming our agency. WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE IN THIS EPISODE Why fear reaches the nervous system before truth does, and practical ways to slow it down. - The real facts about ultra-processed foods (CDC, NIH, FDA) presented without panic or sensationalism. - Food myths and social media panic cycles, how to separate what is real from what is fear-mongering. - A step-by-step framework for conscious discernment: D.I.S.C.E.R.N., designed to guide what information, energy, and narratives we allow in. - A cultural moment worth honoring: A Different World sequel, Atlanta production, and the economic and creative impact on the local community. - AI, media literacy, and the power of intentional consumption in a world designed to hijack attention. - Marriage, maturity, and choosing a partnership from presence, not obligation or societal pressure. - Making love cool again, reclaiming the “we” over the “I,” and how to restore it in daily life. WHY THIS CONVERSATION MATTERS Because what we allow in shapes how we perceive ourselves, our relationships, and our communities. Because fear is not neutral, it imprints in the body and mind, influencing our choices and energy. Because moving fast without discernment comes at a cost and our capacity to show up fully. In a culture that profits from panic, discernment becomes liberation. It’s how we: - Stay informed without being consumed. - Stay aware without becoming cynical. - Stay loving without being naïve. The most radical act this week may be --- simply to slow down. - Slow your consumption of food. - Slow your consumption of media. - Slow your consumption of fear.

Rewrite & Rewire the Story within: The pen is louder than the past

1/6/2026
Ep. 177 In this episode of The Zen Effect Show… We sit inside a deeply human story of heartbreak, choice, and spiritual reclamation. This is a conversation about what happens when a woman decides not to let her past define her and instead writes a new one from the heart. Raised in an environment that required survival before softness, Tamala Baldwin found herself broken open by heartbreak. But instead of staying stuck in the story she was handed, she picked up the pen and rewired her inner world through long-form writing, visualization, and intentional imagination. What began as personal healing became a hero’s journey. What healed her heart became a nonprofit. And what rewrote her story is now helping adults, children in foster care, and countless others cultivate inner harmony through storytelling, writing, and creative expression. This episode is a reminder: Your story is not finished and you hold the pen. How heartbreak became the doorway to her hero’s journey The internal clearing required to heal from the environment you were raised in How long-form writing reprogrammed her heart, mind, and nervous system The heart–mind relationship explained in a grounded, accessible way How visualization + long form writing is a powerful tool for rewiring your inner narrative How one aligned decision can ripple into collective healing Turning personal healing into purpose through the Becoming Love Project How storytelling can help you experience “heaven within” even after pain. So many of us are walking around with chapters we never chose. Carrying heartbreak, trauma, and inherited survival patterns like they’re permanent truths. Zen’s Closing Note: This conversation speaks to the quiet power of choice. In Black communities, especially, healing is often postponed in favor of endurance. But this episode disrupts that pattern. It honors softness as strength. Creativity as medicine. Storytelling as liberation. It shows what’s possible when healing the inner world becomes the foundation for changing the outer one when a single heart healed creates a space for many more to do the same. This is for anyone who has experienced loss, disappointment, or emotional rupture and knows there has to be more than surviving the aftermath. Healing doesn’t always announce itself loudly. Sometimes it whispers: “Rewrite this.” You don’t need permission to rewrite your story and rewire your inner self You don’t need to fully understand the how. You just need the courage to choose again from the heart. Your story is alive. Your heart is intelligent. And one aligned decision can shift generations. Keep choosing love. Keep writing to yourself home to your power.

Ep.175 How We Became So Disconnected and the Path Back to Each Other

12/23/2025
This week on The Zen Effect Show… Ep.175 This episode is an invitation to pause and gently ask yourself: Are the people around you showing up in fullness, or are they showing up in fragments? And just as importantly, how are you showing up for yourself?

Florence shares practical, compassionate guidance on choosing aligned people to walk alongside you, including the six essential villagers that support a well-rounded, nourished life. If you’ve been craving deeper relationships, true support, and meaningful connection, this episode will meet you exactly where you are and gently guide you toward where you want to be.

The Missing Step Between Vision and Real Impact.

12/16/2025
Ep. 174 This week on The Zen Effect Show… This Tuesday’s conversation is nourishment for the entrepreneurial spirit. Not motivation. Not grind culture. Not a highlight reel. This was a masterclass in purpose, presence, and perseverance. On this episode of The Zen Effect Show, I sit with Odidi, owner of Fresh One Kitchen and what unfolds is a grounded, honest conversation about building from why, not just will. You didn’t ask to be here. You were created to be here. On purpose. You were born with a gift, and your life expands the moment you commit to locating it, honoring it, and building from it, even amongst the obstacles you may face. The moments that cracked him open and how those moments became invitations instead of endings. How obstacles refine purpose instead of erasing it. Why alignment sustains what hustle cannot. What it really means to build from your gift and let your work be an extension of your spirit. A reframe for entrepreneurs who feel tired, called, and ready for deeper meaning. Because entrepreneurship without grounding leads to burnout. Because purpose without embodiment becomes performance. And because Black creators, founders, and visionaries deserve conversations that honor soul, strategy, and sustainability, not just success metrics. This episode reminds us that building something meaningful requires more than effort. It requires presence, integrity, and trust in what you were designed to carry. This is about legacy not just income. Expansion not exhaustion. And remembering that your work is most powerful when it’s aligned with who you are becoming. May this conversation nourish you. May it ground you. And may it remind you that what you’re building matters because you matter.

A Conscious Look at the Week’s Headlines

12/9/2025
This Week on The Zen Effect: Conscious Takes Ep. 173 Every week we scan the currents shaping culture, bodies, and choice, but through a conscious lens. We look for the undercurrents most headlines miss and the patterns that quietly reshape how we live, love, work, and move through the world. This week, I unpack six major cultural shifts that are rewriting our future in plain sight: Netflix & Media Consolidation — fewer gatekeepers, fewer stories; your media diet is shaping who you become. Southwest Airlines & Body Politics — a policy debate that reveals how bodies are policed, priced, and erased. Food Fraud & Conscious Consumption — hidden deception in the supply chain that undermines health, trust, and community. AirPods & Tech Myths — separating hype from harm; why overstimulation steals your clarity. Menstrual Product Contamination — what unsafe everyday products tell us about care, regulation, and gendered value. Layoffs & Economic Restructuring — industries are shifting — what falls away makes space for new purpose and creativity. We’re living through one of the most transformative chapters in modern history. Old systems are collapsing. New structures are emerging. Technology is accelerating. Economies are reshaping. Take what resonates. Reflect deeply. Question boldly. Stay curious. Stay discerning. And stay connected to the future you’re choosing to build. Because every choice you make, every perspective you hold, every awareness you carry becomes part of the culture we create next.

Spiritual Bypassing: The Hidden Crisis Behind The Disconnection

12/2/2025
This week on The Zen Effect Show, Ep. 172… We’re going deeper than “protect your peace” and stepping into the real work of energetic responsibility. I'm having a rich conversation with Shamanic healer Katy Morgan. We are discussing the truth that most people don’t want to acknowledge. 💫 You might be eating fear. Every headline, every food trend, every “avoid this” and “cut that out” creates noise and so many people are digesting anxiety, not nourishment. 💫Spiritually bypassing. Calling something “alignment” when it’s really avoidance. Calling something “boundaries” when it’s actually fear. Calling something “protecting my peace” when it’s shutting down your growth. 💫“Protecting Your Peace” that’s over-guarding your energy so much that you’re blocking connection, opportunity, and the connection you keep praying for WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE IN THIS EPISODE Connect With Kady Morgan ⁠ ⁠For all things mentioned—and all things Zen Effect ⁠⁠ Tune In and Tap In live on⁠ ⁠WBNC⁠⁠ Tuesdays at 6pm EST, also linked above.

From Disconnected to Reconnected #171

11/25/2025
If you’ve been feeling disconnected lately from your partner, your home, yourself this episode is going to meet you exactly where you are. This week on The Zen Effect Show, we’re unpacking the practices most couples skip that could dissolve 80% of relationship tension before you ever step into a counselor’s office. We’re talking real, embodied connection the kind our nervous system craves and our culture rarely teaches. 🔸 The one thing to do before therapy that instantly softens walls, rebuilds safety, and restores emotional access. 🔸 Why the body remembers love long after the mind forgets how to give it and how to use that truth to strengthen your bond. 🔸 Conscious partnership: what it looks like in real life, not Instagram aesthetics. 🔸 How a woman’s energy sets the atmosphere of the entire household — and how to shift that energy with intention, not pressure. 🔸 The 10-minute touch practice that improves connection, reduces stress, and rewires emotional closeness. 🔸 Touch as the love language of the nervous system — why we’re built for it, why we’re deprived of it, and how to integrate it back into your relationship with ease. 🔸 The rise of Black wellness, our spaces, our healing modalities — and a highlight on Kirk Franklin’s Den of Kings and the wave of “for us, by us” healing culture reshaping the conversation.

THIS WEEK'S INTERVIEW: MEET DIAMOND KING This week on The Zen Effect Show, we’re stepping into the kind of healing the world is finally ready for. Our current mental-health and wellness systems are outdated, fragmented, and often disconnected from how the body actually heals. That’s why this conversation is essential. I’m joined by Diamond King, a Sound Therapist and hypnotherapist who is redefining what holistic therapy truly means. Diamond’s work shows that sound isn’t just “relaxing” it’s an evolved therapeutic tool that the body automatically responds to on a physiological, emotional, and subconscious level. Sound therapy shifts the brain from high-alert beta waves into the deeply restorative theta state, where clarity, release, and real transformation take place. Research shows that specific frequencies can regulate cortisol, balance the nervous system, improve sleep, boost cognitive function, and even enhance emotional processing. Through her sound journeys, realignment coaching, and decade of teaching worldwide, Diamond helps people soften their system, dissolve stored tension, and return to presence. She reminds us that stillness isn’t silence it’s structure, the architecture where healing finally has room to land.

In this episode of Conscious Take... Neo-soul legend D’Angelo has passed away at 51 after a battle with cancer. His music touched generations—but his death is more than a cultural loss. It’s a wake-up call: too many Black men are dying from preventable illnesses like heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
