Deeply Well with Devi Brown

How are you going to be present?
In this episode, Devi is joined by Tracee Stanley, author of Living Ritual: Infuse Each Day with Purpose and Spirit, for a conversation about what it means to move through our lives with greater intention.
Tracee offers a simple but powerful question: How are you going to be present? Before reaching for your phone to doomscroll or settling into another binge-watch, what would it look like to first make space for the rituals that ground you?
Prayer. Spiritual conversation. Stillness. Reflection. Or whatever practices you create that allow you to reconnect with yourself and move through the day more intentionally.
Our living rituals don't have to be elaborate. They are the practices we return to—the ones that remind us to be present for our lives rather than simply moving through them.

Devi welcomes Sheleana Aiyana, bestselling author of Becoming the One and founder of Rising Woman, to discuss her forthcoming book The Four Seasons of Heartbreak (out February 2). Aiyana frames heartbreak as an initiation and a choice point: bitterness or self-awareness, arguing that healing can’t be rushed and that grief deserves time and permission.
What if the person you deem “your person” is not, and the heartbreak plays a bigger role in helping you connect inward to find true JOY on the other side?
Using nature’s cycles as a template, Aiyana describes moving through inner “seasons” of letting go, clarity and grieving, renewed effort, and hope, culminating in “the gift of being single” and a deeper relationship with self. She shares how heartbreak can reveal an original wound rooted in early life experiences. Heartbreak could be what helps bring clarity to what you need to pay attention to on your journey.

An urgent and provocative message urging parents and adults alike to put your phones down and connect. Our children are facing a rapidly changing landscape, shifting from play-based to phone-based childhoods that influence how they perceive and interact with the world.
Devi welcomes back clinical psychologist and Conscious Parenting Movement Founder Dr. Shefali to discuss how conscious parenting has grown since her 2010 book The Conscious Parent and why she wrote two new books, Raising Conscious Daughters and Raising Conscious Sons (releasing September 15).
Dr. Shefali warns us that cheap, superficial “knowledge,” instant gratification, and reduced boredom undermine focus, creativity, grit, and resilience, contributing to anxiety, depression, self-harm, loneliness, and suicidality. She is empowering parents to act fast, break away from the algorithm, and put your phones down because this technological world is not designed for healthy childhoods.

Devi welcomes multimedia storyteller and Studio Symoné founder Darian Symoné Harvin to discuss how her beauty reporting connects to identity, culture, and human-centered storytelling. Darian shares her path from newsroom work and burnout to creating more nuanced beauty journalism that values specificity, empathy, and strong personal standards while avoiding “gotcha” media and telling people what to think. Darian reflects on reconnecting with God, becoming flexible with self-care, and the importance of reducing fixation on celebrity.
