About this episode

In the podcast episode, guest RIMIDI emphasizes the profound impact of our thoughts on creating our reality. She explains that our thoughts shape our experiences and that we are co-creators with the universe, regardless of our beliefs. RIMIDI encourages listeners to be mindful of their thoughts, particularly those that occur frequently, as they have the power to manifest in our lives.

 

RIMIDI provides examples of negative thoughts that can become deeply ingrained in our subconscious, such as “I’m tired” or “I’m broke.” These thoughts, when repeatedly entertained, are accepted as reality and materialize in our lives. To counteract this, t RIMIDI suggests replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations like “I am amazing” or “I am happy.”

 

Furthermore, RIMIDI discusses the importance of self-discovery and self-acceptance. She emphasizes the need to strip away societal labels and roles in order to truly understand our authentic selves. This self-awareness is a fundamental step in tapping into our power and finding our voice.

 

RIMIDI also highlights the significance of embracing one’s voice and existence. She encourages women of color to show up authentically and confidently in spaces, owning their unique perspectives and experiences. RIMIDI acknowledges that this process may take time and emphasize the importance of granting oneself grace.

 

 

 

Dismantling before manifestation.

RIMIDI: “RIMIDI is a spirit. RIMIDI is a goddess. I am here living this human experience, having fun, having trials, and just figuring things out as I go and just learning how to live life and live the dream life and whatever that dream life looks like for me. But also learning how to just accept that sometimes we have no control or sometimes we ask for things and certain things have to be dismantled before that manifestation can come into fruition. So I’m just learning how to just go with the flow and trust the process and know that all that I desire is on its way to me.”

 

 

The album “Juno the Late Bloomer”.

RIMIDI: “I’m releasing an album called Juno the Late Bloomer about the story of my life. Juno the Late Bloomer, which transitions into woman. It takes you through that journey of My father’s death basically opened a Pandora box of things that I didn’t even know I was dealing with. And it was all rooted in a relationship that I had with him. So it gave me a closer look at my relationship with other men, just my relationship with myself. “

 

 

Finding your true meaning in life.

RIMIDI: “I’m being humbled as I really understand the true meaning of life. And it’s not about all of these titles and all this stuff is really, just being here being present and yeah you can have the life that you desire and you deserve to have the life that you desire. That’s what god wants for us and so i do have a great life. ”
