Ayawithin is a podcast hosted by soshelbs a Clinical Therapist and online leader, where she unapologetically dives into the ugly yet beautiful side of stepping into one's power. Shelb is someone that leans into the discomfort of talking about the sh!t no one really wants to talk about. She enjoys diving into taboo topics from sex, plant medicine, self-development, shadow work, heartbreak, or what she's currently going through in her personal life. Nothing is planned to keep it raw and vulnerable. So let's take a deep breath together and dive in.
a woman's superpower: cycle syncing
In this episode, Aya dives into the transformative practice of cycle syncing—aligning your lifestyle with the four phases of your menstrual cycle to optimize your health, productivity, and overall well-being. Cycle syncing allows you to work with your body’s natural rhythms, making every phase an opportunity for growth, rest, or connection. Aya breaks down each phase, explaining how to harness the unique energy of each one and sharing journal prompts designed to deepen your self-awareness and support personal development:
Menstrual Phase: Focus on rest and reflection. Journal Prompt: "What am I ready to let go of? How can I give myself more rest and care during this time?"
Follicular Phase: Tap into creativity and new ideas. Journal Prompt: "What new ideas or projects excite me right now? How can I turn them into action?"
Ovulatory Phase: Embrace confidence and connection. Journal Prompt: "How can I use my confidence to build stronger connections? Who can I reach out to for collaboration or support?"
Luteal Phase: Focus on completion and introspection. Journal Prompt: "What unfinished tasks need my attention? How can I bring more balance into my life before my next cycle?"
Throughout the episode, Aya emphasizes how syncing your diet, exercise, and self-care routines with your cycle can help reduce stress, balance hormones, and prevent burnout. She also explains how this practice leads to greater self-awareness, productivity, and emotional well-being by helping you live in alignment with your body. Whether you're looking to optimize your energy or deepen your connection to yourself, this episode will guide you through how cycle syncing can become a life-changing practice. Tune in to discover how to leverage your body’s natural rhythm for intentional, empowered living!

ITS ALREADY MINE... shifting my mindset to call it all in
ITS ALREADY MINE BITCH!!!! Diving into the techniques Aya is using to shift her vibration to call everything in that she desires. Shifting from victim to manifestation. After listening to Life Visioning by Michael Beckwith Aya had a very powerful realization. It was time to setup her vibration and become an instrument in embodying her divine power within.
There is something. Within you that is trying to emerge. Just know how to ask the universe the right questions.
Higher order question and live in a Higher order inquiry.
Go into a state of love and ask:
What is it within me that is trying to emerg?
Or
What is the universes idea of its self as my life ?
Then ask:
What do I have to become inorder to manifest the vision I am catching.
What is it I must become in conscious in order to manifest the vision .
Where do I have to grow in my own life.*taking full responsibility of your life*
We are the idea and curate the condition for the idea to manifest
Next Ask the Universe:
What is it I already have that can be in service to the vision?
Embrace what you have / from abundance
Higher frequency — the more that pours in.
*It’s not personal. It’s just frequency.*
Next : what no longer service me. Then tap into frequency of willingness and are willing to tap into in order to embrace what we have , to let go, to forgive.

did she say trust issues?
Do you struggle trusting others or do you just struggle trusting within yourself? I'm still trying to figure out which one holds more truth but I will say as I enter the dating world I've realized that it might be deeper than simply blaming others for my trust issues.

obsession & rejection // disrupting cycles
I love the saying - "nothing ever goes away until it taught us the lesson we need to learn". Right now, I am starting to notice recurring patterns & cycles in my life that keep showing up in different scenarios, names, places, and people. It has gotten to the point that I am aware of this pattern. But once you’re aware of that behavioral cycle what do you do next to disrupt that cycle? In this episode we dive into some questions I explored to identify what steps I need to take to start the disruption process. Becoming aware is the easy part. The true challenge in behavioral change is actively choosing discomfort over comfort over and over again.

my thoughts can be scary 💭
After solo traveling abroad for 6 months I finally had to come back to my old life. I thought I was ready but little did I know I was about to befriend the darkest part of my mind. I created a life that really fulfilled all my needs in Portgual so coming back I left that life behind and all the major external protective factors that was helping me process what I was going through. I was also highly stimulated and didn't really think about anything that had just happened. Coming back I had no support & it was the first time I had to really acknowledge that my "old life" was no longer there. I felt like I lost all the progress I had made abroad but this part of my journey was just actally meant for me to truly process and release all the hurt and pain within. Coming back to my apt I got with my ex the energy was heavy - feeling his energy in the space, in the bed, I was constantly reminded of what had happened. I began to battle with my own mind. Questioning my exisitance to the point I began to scare myself.
Trigger warmning: I want to be senstive to everyones experience when it comes to this topic. I dive into my thought
process and how I actively leaned into and pull myself out of the darkest part of my mind.

waking TF up // deep dive pt 2
The moment I woke the fuck up and hit rock bottom was the moment I truly connected with the deepest part of myself. Rock bottom for me... was when I had to identify who was speaking - my intuition or my truama. Learning how to choose me and lean into my bigggest fear aka losing the person I loved most and ultimatly learning how to be alone. I truly believe everyone we meet plays a crucial role in our journey. I am forever grateful for this person and how he played a role in my life. We are all just here trying to figure out how to exist as humans and work through the deep embedded generational truama within us.
If you're going through a divorce, heartbreak, and grief take a deep breath & remember you always can find home within. All it takes is closing your eyes and filling your lungs full of air.
SOOO wants to join me this Fall for the second Divine Self Retreat??
