In this episode of The Enlightened Life Podcast, Scott Allan sits down with Alicia Farricielli, founder of Frequency of Her, for a conversation that’s as soul-stirring as it is practical. If you’ve ever wondered how spirituality and leadership intersect—or how mindfulness can change the way you lead, love, and live—this one’s for you. Alicia’s story is a testament to personal growth and the power of spiritual awakening. From pre-dawn to-do lists and the invisible labor of single motherhood, to the relentless drive that led to spiritual burnout, Alicia’s journey is both deeply personal and universally relatable. She describes how the constant hustle eventually became a cage, one that stifled her inner peace and left her restless for true transformation. What changed? Alicia chose to step off the hamster wheel and embark on a spiritual journey—one that prioritized consciousness, inner peace, and authentic presence over performance. Through mindfulness practices like breathwork, nervous system regulation, and honest self-inquiry, she found not just stress relief, but a new way of being. Her awakening didn’t happen overnight. It was a gradual return to herself, a process of healing her inner child and balancing the masculine and feminine energies within. Throughout their conversation, Scott and Alicia explore how spirituality and emotional intelligence go hand-in-hand in leadership. They discuss the importance of tuning into your own needs, recognizing when you’re leading from survival mode, and how the path to sustainable success starts with self-worth and inner alignment. Alicia shares practical tools for stress relief and encourages listeners to honor their own spiritual journey—reminding us that transformation is possible when we’re willing to do the inner work. Alicia’s message is clear: The real revolution in women’s leadership isn’t about working harder or carrying more. It’s about awakening to your own consciousness, finding your flow, and leading from a place of embodied mindfulness and spiritual authenticity. Whether you’re navigating spiritual burnout or simply seeking more meaning in your life and work, Alicia’s wisdom will inspire you to follow your soul’s calling and embrace your own transformation.Takeaways:Burnout is often a sign that your spiritual and emotional needs are unmet.Mindfulness and nervous system regulation are key to stress relief and inner peace.Personal growth and spiritual awakening go hand-in-hand; your spiritual journey is unique to you.Emotional intelligence and consciousness are essential for authentic leadership.Healing your inner child is foundational for true transformation.Sustainable success is about aligning with your values, not just external achievement.Authenticity—online and offline—is magnetic and deeply needed in today’s world.Your worth is not measured by how much you carry, but by your presence and willingness to grow.Sound Bites:“Burnout is everywhere, but it doesn’t have to be inevitable.” —Alicia Farricielli“What did you not get as a child?

What does it mean to come home—not just to a place, but to yourself? For many, “home” is a simple word, a fixed dot on a map, or a set of familiar faces. For others, it’s a question that lingers in the background, quietly shaping every decision, every risk, every mile traveled. Imagine uprooting your life and crossing not just borders of geography, but the invisible lines of identity, ancestry, and soul.Imagine standing on the soil of your ancestors, feeling the pulse of a lineage you never truly knew, and asking yourself: Where do I belong, and who am I when I get there? Tonight’s journey is about more than passports and plane tickets. It’s about the courage to seek belonging in unfamiliar places, the vulnerability to question the stories we’ve inherited, and the profound transformation that happens when we follow the breadcrumbs of our own history. Our guest, Queen D. Michele, has lived these questions—each border crossing a step closer to understanding the meaning of “home.” Her story invites us to reflect on our own roots, the boundaries we cross, and the ways we might finally come home to ourselves.Key Topics:The meaning of home and identityGenerational trauma and healingQueen's journey to Guinea-Bissau and her Fula heritageThe importance of mindfulness and self-awareness for Gen AlphaQueen's nonprofit work and the vision for African Connection CentersGuest Bio:Queen D. Michelle is a storyteller and seeker who has lived in Mexico, traced her roots to the Fula tribe of Guinea-Bissau, and developed a mindfulness curriculum for schools. Her books and nonprofit work focus on healing and connecting people to their ancestry. Call to Action:Follow Queen's journey and support her mission at FulaAmerican.org.

For years, she was the girl at the back of the classroom, words blurring on the page, convinced she’d never belong in the world of books. In the small steel town of Noblesville, Indiana, no one—not even Rhonda Parker Taylor herself—could have predicted she’d become the author of a suspense novel praised by Mariel Hemingway’s book club.
