Episode Synopsis

In this powerful episode of Ifá Mythology: Keys to Ancient Healing, Oyindamola and Titilope walk you through the sacred tension of Ìwòrì Àwọ̀dín—an Odù of spiritual labor, emotional reckoning, and breakthrough born through breakdown.

We meet Oníbodè, the husband of the crowd—a symbolic gatekeeper still tethered to external approval, and a mysterious trader woman whose grace, patience, and authenticity transform everyone around her. Through their encounter, we ask:
Who are you when the crowd goes home?
Are you giving from truth—or from performance?

From social media validation to sacrificial love that leaves us empty, this episode dives deep into how we can return to alignment with our higher self. We explore what it really means to "love yourself more than others"—and how the blessings we seek will only come when we stop performing and start embodying our truth.

🌿 Spiritual themes explored:

Emotional transformation through restriction
Divine timing and the feminine mystery of waiting
Sacred identity beyond validation
Loving yourself in a world that calls it selfish
🕯️ Closing guidance & prayer included.
