REFLECTIONS IN TRANSITION
Ayla returns solo on the new moon in Libra to speak honestly about a season she did not expect: a pulling inward just as she felt ready to bloom. This is an unfiltered look at being in the in-between, at Inner Tide’s own quiet evolution, and at what it actually takes to trust a path you cannot yet see.In this episode, I’m speaking into this new moon in Libra, with Venus retrograde in Scorpio squaring Mars in Leo, a configuration that stirs things up rather than smoothing them over. I talk about where I’ve personally been this past year: feeling Inner Tide shifting beneath the surface, building toward what felt like a bloom, and then moving into an unexpected inward season instead. I call it a false spring, the ache of feeling ready to emerge and then being pulled back into stillness.I share honestly about what this season has asked of me. Learning to surrender rather than force. Noticing the fear that if I’m not doing, making, and producing, everything will fall apart. Practicing receiving instead of guarding. Stretching the muscle of actually asking for what I need instead of waiting to be understood. And recognizing how unsustainable my old pace of constant inspiration and output had become, and why I needed to be rearranged rather than simply pushed through.In this episode, we cover:🌗 New moon in Libra, Venus retrograde in Scorpio, and the discomfort of this particular configuration🌱 The false spring: feeling ready to bloom and being pulled inward instead🌊 Inner Tide’s own quiet evolution and what it’s been asking of me🛑 Surrendering the drive to always be producing, creating, and moving toward a goal🫴 Learning to receive instead of guard, and the fear underneath that guarding🗣️ Practicing the muscle of asking for what you need instead of waiting to be seen🍂 Fall clearing energy: releasing the grip, making space, letting things fall away🧭 Trusting a path you cannot yet map, and staying anchored from the insideThis episode is for you if you’re in a season of pivot you didn’t ask for, if something in your life or work has quietly stopped working and you don’t yet know what’s next, or if you’ve been met with unexpected stillness right when you expected movement. It’s also for you if receiving, asking, or simply not knowing has felt harder than it should.🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more on cyclical living, surrender, and staying anchored through seasons of change.CONNECT:With our host — Ayla Wayman on IG: @inner__tideDive into INNER TIDE — OFFERINGSGet full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA — innertide.substack.com/subscribe Get full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA at innertide.substack.com/subscribe

CUTTING THE NOISE TO COME BACK TO YOUR CREATIVITY WITH SACHI SATO
In this episode, we explore creativity as channeling, the physical body as a portal back into presence, and how the breadcrumbs of childhood, our earliest intuitive callings, shape the path we eventually walk. We talk about Leo season and creative expansion, the Saturn return as an initiation into self, and what it means to build a life and a body of work around trust, intuition, and letting go of a fixed process.On this episode of Current Wave, I’m joined by musician, producer, and multi-hyphenate creative Sachi Sato (@moulinbouje).We trace her path from growing up on tour with her jazz musician father, to years of classical piano training, to finding her own voice as a songwriter after a difficult adolescence, to now producing and writing her own music, shooting photography, reading astrology and tarot, and founding Sister Service, a community space for women and non-binary folks she’s built across London, New York, and LA. We talk about what it means to create as a vessel, letting a melody or an idea move through you rather than forcing it into being, and why that channeling requires real trust, both in yourself and in whoever you’re creating alongside.We also go deep into the body: how weightlifting and physical movement have become as central to Sachi’s creative process as any instrument, and how coming home to the physical form, especially as a woman, can be its own kind of reclamation. And we talk honestly about the harder side of creative life: ADHD, emotional intensity, creative blocks, and what it actually takes to keep listening to yourself when the world isn’t built for it.In this episode, we cover:🦁 Leo season and creative expansion: tapping into self-expression, luck, and shine 💪 The body as portal: weightlifting, movement, and reclaiming the physical self 🎵 From classical piano to channeled songwriting: finding her own creative voice 🌙 Creativity as channeling: letting the work move through you, not from you 🔮 Astrology and tarot as tools for reflection, not answers 🪐 The Saturn return as initiation: surrendering to what’s being torn down and rebuilt 🌑 Lilith and Chiron: looking at the shamed and wounded places as sites of real power 🏘️ Sister Service: building community and belonging across three cities 🧠 Creative blocks, ADHD, and emotional intensity as part of the creative terrain 🚶♀️ Voice memo walks and cutting the noise: simple practices for accessing flowThis episode is for you if you’re drawn to creativity as a spiritual practice, astrology, embodiment, and building a life around intuition rather than a fixed plan. Whether you’re an artist looking to trust your own process more, or just someone trying to hear your own voice above the noise, you’ll leave with real, grounded language for what that actually takes.🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more on spirituality, embodiment, and creativity as a path home to yourself.CONNECT:With our guest — Sachi Sato on IG: @moulinboujeSachi’s music: available on Spotify and Apple MusicSachi’s Substack: substack.com/@sachisatoWith our host — Ayla Wayman on IG: @inner__tide Get full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA — innertide.substack.com/subscribe Get full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA at innertide.substack.com/subscribe

MEN, MONEY, AND THE GIFTS OF THE UNIVERSE: UNBLOCK YOUR RESISTANCE TO RECEIVE FROM THE MASCULINE
In this episode, we explore the energetics of receiving, why so many women struggle to let money, support, and generosity actually land, and how our relationship with the masculine (in partners, in strangers, in the men around us) mirrors our relationship with money itself. We talk about the discomfort of being given to without earning it, the difference between independence and interdependence, and what it actually takes to build the internal capacity to receive more. Explore the dynamics of receiving, especially from men, and how feminine energy plays a crucial role in relationships, money, and life. They share personal stories, insights on feminine and masculine energies, and practical tips for embracing vulnerability and trust.On this episode of Current Wave I’m joined by retired rocket scientist turned investing mentor Stephanie Xenos, host of Money Musings with Stephanie Xenos.We trace real, recent stories from both of our lives, a four-figure gift offered freely by a near-stranger, a stranger at the airport who carried a bag without asking for anything in return, a panic attack in a parking lot after saying yes to being given something nice. We use these moments to unpack a bigger question: what does it actually mean to be in your feminine, and why does receiving, whether it’s a compliment, a favor, or money, so often feel harder than giving.We talk honestly about the overcorrection many women made toward hyper-independence, why that arc was necessary, and what it looks like to find a more circular, interdependent way of relating to the masculine, to money, and to support in general. If you’ve ever deflected a compliment, insisted on paying your own way when you didn’t need to, or felt guilty spending money on yourself, this one’s for you.In this episode, we cover:💰 Receiving as an energetic practice, not just a financial one 🚪 The small tests: doors held open, bags carried, offers made without an agenda 👗 Why “a man is not a plan” empowered a generation and also created a block 🌊 Feminine and masculine roles as energetic postures, not fixed identities 🧠 The guilt response: why generosity can feel unsafe before it feels good 💎 The difference between extraction, independence, and true interdependence 🔑 Deservingness as the real root beneath money blocks and relationship blocks 🌙 The feminine’s tether to the void, intuition, and the non-logical 🗝️ Practical ways to expand your capacity to receive, starting smallThis episode is for you if you’re doing the work around money, partnership, or self-worth, and want a real, unfiltered conversation about why receiving is so often the hardest part. Whether you’re building financial independence, navigating a relationship, or just trying to accept a compliment without deflecting it, you’ll leave with a new lens on what it means to let life provide for you.🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more on spirituality, embodiment, and navigating money and relationships with honesty.CONNECT:With our guest — Stephanie Xenos on IG: @stephanie_xenosStephanie’s podcast: Money Musings with Stephanie Xenos, on SpotifyStephanie’s website: stephaniexenos.comWith our host — Ayla Wayman on IG: @inner__tideGet full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA — innertide.substack.com/subscribe Get full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA at innertide.substack.com/subscribe

WHY YOUR OLD LIFE NO LONGER FITS: THE VOID BETWEEN WHO YOU WERE AND WHO YOU ARE BECOMING
Today, Ayla returns solo to talk through what’s alive in her right now: the void, the cages we keep ourselves in, and the subtle inner work of finding the key you already hold. This is an unfiltered, in-the-moment conversation about sitting in the in-between when your old way of living no longer works, and the new one hasn’t landed yet.In this episode, I’m sharing some themes that have been coming up in almost every conversation I’ve had lately: the felt sense that we’re all being asked to step into a void, a pregnant darkness where our next self hasn’t arrived but something is clearly pulling us forward. I talk about the tension between our will and something larger than our will, why desire can feel so out of balance right now, and why so much of the real work is learning to sit in the not knowing instead of rushing to fill it.I also go into Cancer Season specifically: what it means to be in the depths and the feelings without trying to fix or shift them, and how that being energy sets us up for what’s coming next as we move into Leo and Virgo. I share some of my own unfolding here too: my wanting to become a mother, what that’s asking me to release in how I run my business and hold my masculine container, and what it’s teaching me about receptivity, partnership, and asking for what I actually need. Toward the end I share that I’ll be opening enrollment for our fall cohort, beginning around the fall equinox on September 21st.In this episode, we cover: 🌊 Sitting in the void: why the in-between is one of the hardest and most important places to stay 🔑 The cage and the key: how we recreate the situations we say we don’t want 🦀 Cancer Season as a being energy, not a doing energy 🦁 What Leo and Virgo bring next: inspiration, discernment, and making a plan 🧠 Subconscious reprogramming and why the unconscious mind runs the show 🌍 Free will, privilege, and the responsibility of choice in this particular moment 👶 A personal share on wanting to become a mother and what that’s asking to shift in me 🤝 Masculine and feminine roles, receptivity, and asking a partner for what I need 💫 Why our biggest desires are often the most confronting once we actually approach them 🌾 An invitation into the fall cohort, opening around the fall equinoxThis episode is for you if you’re in a season of not knowing what’s next, if you’re feeling pulled toward something you can’t yet name, or if you’re doing the quiet work of finding your own key out of patterns that no longer serve you. It’s also for you if you want an honest, unpolished look at what it’s like to hold vision, business, and deep personal desire all at once.🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more on cyclical living, inner work, and navigating the void with honesty.CONNECT:With our host — Ayla Wayman on IG: @inner__tideFollow Current Wave on IG: @current__waveGet full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA — innertide.substack.com/subscribe Get full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA at innertide.substack.com/subscribe

ALLOW THE WATERS TO MOVE ~ A GUIDED PRACTICE TO FEEL AN EMOTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH
Oooooof, after my post about how much I’ve grown and learned to metabolize Cancer Season, and how grounded I feel, the past few days have felt CRUNCHY. The emotions are running high, and not just for me! I was already planning on sharing this practice, and then I was just laughing to myself how necessary it really is right now. It’s funny, we are in so many ways these little tender beings ruled by our emotions, and yet, most of us don’t even know how to feel what we are feeling deeply - and all the way through - so that it can assimilate into our system.I find time and again that our resistance to feeling is where so much of our turmoil comes from - often it’s not actually the feeling itself - rather, it’s the brakes we’re slamming on, or the backflips we are doing to avoid the truth. When we don’t allow ourselves to feel, and allow our emotions to move through us, they can begin to speak in other ways - anxiety that hums beneath the surface, tension in the body, exhaustion, numbness, rumination…This practice is an invitation to gently work with anything you might be currently feeling, so that you can learn to actually feel it.I share the process of titration, where we approach an emotion in small, manageable doses so your nervous system can stay regulated while your body processes what it’s been holding.This can be incredibly supportive to move through something you are experiencing right now, or, to work with something you might have moved aside.This practice allows us to build our capacity and discover that our emotions are not permanent identities or ultimate truths. They are experiences that move through us.If you have been feeling the feels. If things feel crunchy. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like there’s something sitting just beneath the surface…This is an invitation to work with it all, and allow the waters to move. Let me know how it goes :) Get full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA at innertide.substack.com/subscribe

YOUR NAME IS YOUR FIRST MANTRA: DANCING WITH GOD, VOICE, IDENTITY, AND THE COURAGE TO BE SEEN WITH CHANDNI
There is a moment in life when you begin to hear yourself clearly.Not the version shaped by expectation…Not the softened version made easier for others to receive…But the original sound of you.In this episode of Current Wave, I’m joined by Chandni for a deeply intimate conversation on voice, identity, devotion, and the courage to be seen in your true resonance.We explore the idea that your name is not just a label—it is your first mantra. A living vibration. A sound that organizes your body, your energy, and your place in the world. And what it means to reclaim that sound… fully, unapologetically, and in your own timing.Chandni shares her journey of returning to her given name, reconnecting with its roots in Sanskrit, and the profound shifts that occur when you begin to honor your own frequency—rather than shrinking or translating yourself to be more easily understood.We also move into the deeper layers of embodiment, grief, rebirth, and what it means to truly land in the body after a lifetime of living in the “ethers.”This conversation weaves through:* Your name as your first mantra — sound, identity, and personal frequency* Reclaiming your voice — pronunciation, lineage, and self-recognition* The courage to be seen — visibility, vulnerability, and resonance* Living between worlds — the ether vs. embodiment* Identity and renunciation — letting go of who you were to become who you are* Grief, rebirth, and returning to the body* Creation through devotion — allowing life to move through you* The illusion of separation — remembering our connection to source* Glass delusion, fragility, and sensitivity — the human experience of being “too much”* What it means to live truthfully — even when it feels unfamiliarThis episode is for you if you’ve ever felt disconnected from your voice…If you’ve softened or altered yourself to be more digestible…If you’re in a season of becoming, shedding, or remembering who you really are.It’s for anyone navigating identity, grief, visibility, or the quiet (and sometimes terrifying) call to step forward and be seen.This is a conversation about returning.To your voice.To your name.To your body.To God.🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more conversations on spirituality, embodiment, creativity, and building a life that feels like your own.CONNECT:With our guest — ChandniInstagram: @amritaoneSubstack: Chandni Try Chandni’s OilWith our host — Ayla WaymanInstagram: @inner__tideFollow Current Wave: @current__waveDive into INNER TIDE — OFFERINGSGet full access to INNER TIDE | AYLAKeywords:Chandni, your name is your mantra, identity and voice, spiritual awakening, finding your voice, embodiment and spirituality, divine feminine voice, sound and vibration healing, mantra meaning, personal identity journey, grief and rebirth, ether and embodiment, spiritual podcast, Ayla Wayman, Current Wave podcast Get full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA at innertide.substack.com/subscribe

RETURNING TO RIGHT RELATIONSHIP: ANIMALS, CEREMONY, AND THE WISDOM OF OUR REMEMBERING WITH ABIGAIL HINDS
There is a way of being that remembers.A way of living that is not separate from the Earth, the animals, or the unseen layers of life—but deeply in relationship with them.A way that honors death as part of life, listens to what is subtle, and trusts that there is intelligence moving through everything… if we slow down enough to feel it.In this episode of Current Wave, I’m joined by Abigail Hines — healing practitioner, medicine weaver, and vocalist — for a conversation on animal communication, death and reciprocity, ancestral practices, and the deeper ways we can return to right relationship with the natural world.We speak about what it means to process animals in ceremony, not as something transactional, but as something sacred. Abigail shares the story behind her “Squirrel to Soup” practice, and how working with animals in both life and death became an initiation into deeper presence, reverence, and connection.We also explore the ways animals communicate with us—through intuition, sensation, and subtle knowing—and how reconnecting to these channels can awaken parts of ourselves that have been dormant.This conversation moves between the grounded and the mystical. From food, land, and nourishment… to whales, sound, and the unseen realms of communication that exist beyond language.At its core, this episode is about remembering that we are not separate.We are part of a living, breathing, communicating world.And there is a different way to be in relationship with it.In this episode, we explore:* Returning to right relationship — animals, land, death, and reciprocity* “Squirrel to Soup” — processing animals as ceremony, not consumption* The disconnection of modern life — and the longing to return to something more real* Whale medicine and sound — voice, intuition, and spiritual communication* Animal communication — intuition, subtle perception, and listening beyond language* Death as initiation — reclaiming reverence for life through honoring death* The unseen world — spirit, sensation, and the intelligence of nature* Remembering our place — as humans within (not above) the natural worldThis episode is for you if you’ve been feeling the pull to reconnect—with nature, with your intuition, or with something ancient within yourself. If you’ve been questioning the disconnection of modern life and craving a deeper, more honest relationship with the world around you.It’s also for anyone curious about animal communication, ancestral practices, embodiment, and the quieter ways of knowing that live beneath the surface.🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more conversations on spirituality, embodiment, creativity, and returning to what is real.CONNECT:With our guest — Abigail HinesInstagram: @whalewombweaving@breast.health.sanctuaryhttps://www.blessourbreasts.com/ With our host — Ayla WaymanInstagram: @inner__tideFollow Current Wave: @current__waveDive into INNER TIDE — OFFERINGSGet full access to INNER TIDE | AYLAKeywords:Abigail Hines, animal communication, whale medicine, sound healing, ancestral practices, spiritual awakening, intuitive living, nature connection, death and rebirth, conscious living, embodiment practices, feminine spirituality, reconnect with nature, ceremony and ritual, slow living, Ayla Wayman, Current Wave podcast Get full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA at innertide.substack.com/subscribe

RETURNING TO WHAT IS REAL: MAKING YOUR OWN RULES AND LIVING A SLOWER, TRUER LIFE WITH ANA HITO
There is a version of life that asks less of us in performance and more of us in presence.A version rooted in slowness, creativity, self-trust, real luxury, and the courage to make our own rules instead of inheriting the ones we were handed.In this episode of Current Wave, I’m joined by Ana Hito for a conversation on luxury, creativity, motherhood, technology, off-grid living, and what it means to return to what is actually real. We explore the deeper meaning of luxury—not just as material beauty, but as intimacy with process, place, seasonality, labor, and life itself.Ana shares about living on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), raising children in a much slower and more connected environment, and the profound shift that happens when you step outside of the speed, noise, and artificial urgency of modern life. We talk about the challenge of creativity in the digital age, the pressure of social media, and how much easier it is to lose your own inner voice when the outside world is constantly telling you what matters.This conversation is really about remembering. Remembering what it means to be human. Remembering what creativity felt like before it was commodified. Remembering that success, beauty, luxury, and fulfillment are not fixed definitions—and that part of growing up is learning how to define those things for yourself.We also speak about childhood, Waldorf education, community, the value of boredom and curiosity, and how simplicity can become one of the most profound luxuries of all.In this episode, we cover:* The deeper meaning of luxury — process, presence, seasonality, and real life* Life on Rapa Nui — community, family, off-grid living, and a different pace of reality* Motherhood + raising children more slowly — creativity, freedom, and less technological interference* Social media and the distortion of success — clout, comparison, and the pressure to perform a life* Returning to what is real — food, water, land, rhythm, and embodied daily living* Creativity as a necessity — not a luxury, not an extra, but part of being alive* Making your own rules — releasing inherited ideas of success, work, and how life “should” look* Curiosity, play, and the child self — reconnecting with the part of you that knows how to create* Living more truthfully — even when your life looks different from what the world rewardsThis episode is for you if you’ve been craving a slower, truer life… if you’re questioning the rules you’ve inherited… if you want to reconnect with your creativity, your own values, and what actually matters to you. It’s for anyone navigating motherhood, self-discovery, digital overwhelm, or the desire to build a life that feels more human and less performative.🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more conversations on spirituality, embodiment, creativity, and building a life that feels like your own.CONNECT:With our guest — Ana Hitoon IG: @__ana__hito__on Substack: Ana Hito With our host — Ayla Wayman on IG: @inner__tideFollow Current Wave on IG: @current__waveDive into INNER TIDE — OFFERINGSGet full access to INNER TIDE | AYLAKeywords:Ana Hito, Rapa Nui, Easter Island, slow living, authentic living, luxury lifestyle, real luxury, creativity and self discovery, motherhood and creativity, parenting without screens, off grid living, community and creativity, simplicity as luxury, social media and authenticity, digital overwhelm, curiosity and creativity, living a slower life, returning to what is real, conscious living, Ayla Wayman, Current Wave podcast Get full access to INNER TIDE | AYLA at innertide.substack.com/subscribe
