I love listening to your soul sessions so much. They always feel expansive and help me be more gentle with myself. Your voice is such a gift to us!!!

I have been a huge supporter of anything Ayandastood does since I came across her videos on social media back in ‘22–she literally contributes so much magic to the world and her work is not only well researched but also incredibly communicated in such a compelling and inspiring manner that you can’t help but have your life and very mindset changed. As a survivor of unimaginable trauma I can say with gratitude that her light has helped guide me through some of the most difficult moments and validated so many thoughts I’ve had regarding the beauty hierarchy, fear of perception & judgment, injustice, society, perfectionism etc. She also has shared amazing book recommendations in her earlier videos simply by reading excerpts. I always know I will leave uplifted and more knowledgeable than before whenever I engage with her work. I still have episodes to complete and I look forward to finishing every one. I hope to see more and I truly hope she writes books one day, I will be ecstatic to support! Sending love and gratitude! (:

I love your podcast, videos and Substack. I have also explored some of the books, poetry and videos from your creative activations list. Just wanted to say you are amazing and learning so much from you. 💛

Today I listened to the newest episode of the podcast which centered around the fear of being seen. My perspective on being judged has shifted so much. I realized that my fear of expressing myself is blocking me from receiving love from others, and loving myself. Fear is really all in our minds! The host of this show is a visionary who sees the collective at its highest frequency, and encourages listeners to do the same. Every episode I listen to resonates so deeply with my spirit, and encourages me to embrace myself unconditionally. I’m so thankful I found this show! Please never stop making episodes!

Elevates my mind and spirit every fudging time.

Thank you to this podcast for helping me dream and feel seen.

This podcast legit changed my life 🌈⭐️🌞

You are inspiring. I found you on YouTube during the beginning of my self journey. I must say your delivery and your messages are in alignment with what my hears have yearned to hear and what my heart beats to love. I pray you continue sharing your gifts. It’s motivating me to one day share mine a little more. You spoke about fear and I understand it completely. So to see you keep going knowing you feel the same fears helps me keep going in my lane even though I feel fear. Thank you again! New Soul Sibling here 🌠

I know most certainly the Most High put you on my feed on purpose. Been needing and silently pleading for assurance, for comfort and the most nourishing push to action towards my callings from my family and my closest people. And voila… Soul Salon. Didn’t realize who I needed it from would be this flame (Ayandastood) would be who lit me up this evening.. got me in literal tears, enthusiasm, inspiration and all! Thank you sister.

I literally just found you on YouTube yesterday , randomly scrolling looking for something motivational Every episode just fills my soul with so much love and joy. Most of all hope and excitement to know I’m not alone in my thinking. Thank you! I never listen to podcast but you’re changing that.

I love how you emphasize the importance of the collective. It’s so easy to isolate and feel alone in the world. This podcast has led me to so many spiritual downloads and I am so eternally grateful! Can’t wait to listen to the next episode!!

You podcast is healing my soul and bringing me so much closer to myself and to the people in my community. You make me feel alive, I really mean ALIVE. I feel and experience my humanness every time I listen to you podcast. You are truly doing an amazing and inspiring work ❤️❤️❤️

Ayanda has created her own lane with Soul Salon . Her takes always have a way of unlocking so much wisdom ! This is my go to podcast

My heart is so full! This podcast, It’s like it was meant for me to listen and I truly am so thankful for you to ever create this podcast! Love you so much!!

Keep going!! Keep talking!! Keep thinking!! You and your voice and all you have to say is 10/10!! You speak to my soul and my brain and my heart and I am so grateful you’re here, on this earth, and podcasting. Go girl x

I love this podcast so much, and it has been so supportive for my healing journey. Ayanda is a marvelous thinker, a deep feeler, and a charismatic volcano of great love and great depth. She is so vulnerable about her experience as an artist, and generously shared ideas that shift paradigms truly. Every time an episode comes out it is a gift,, and then I listen as I make my breakfast and work on my art practice. Thank you Ayanda!

It’s very hard for everything to not feel empty and meaningless when you gain awareness of all the atrocities being inflicted upon humanity for the prospect of profit. Ayanda uses her voice and platform to not just educate, but also to inspire us to continue fighting the struggle with a radical kind of love. As a woman with close familial ties to East Africa (most my family still lives there) it’s so validating to hear these kind of world shifting conversations and learn so much more about how I can be of service to other struggles and humanity as a whole. Amazing person, amazing content, and such an immensely impactful podcast for me!🤍🤍

Ayanda is one of the best radicalist of our times. She is not afraid to challenge the status quo and bring sources with her beliefs and thoughts. She might not be for everyone but she is for the people looking to be part of a group who are learning to radically live themselves and the world. She perfectly catches the paradox of life and our minds and this confusing and overwhelming age of the internet. Come with an open mind and kind intentions. I love you, thank you for being so brave to share your world with the rest of us. Cheering for you🫶🏽

Thank you soooooo much for your being, your sharing this with the world, and your profound conversations! I can feel your joy and lightheartedness while also calling out systems that simply weren’t designed for human connection. I feel a new direction every time I listen in.

i truly have no words for how much this podcast and this being has impacted my heart & my mind. its such an incredible joy to put on an episode & just trust fall, intuitively knowing ill be gently caught every single time. im so glad that you continue to share yourself and show up here because wow, i celebrate you & what a wonderful drop of the world u are to experience. - i guess i did have some words

I am so very deeply grateful for this podcast & Ayandastood for spinning this into existence for us all! 💜 It empowers me and opens my heart in such a wholesome way to REALLY step into my soul-ness as a being, as an insecure creative and a vessel of love. This is just such a masterpiece of love beautiful delicious deliberate act of love to the collective. I love Ayandastood!! I couldn’t say that enough. This praise still isn’t enough. Thank you for showing up and doing the scary stuff and being YOU!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Okay, go LISTEN! ❤️🥰

Wow. Ayanda - I am so blown away by your consciousness. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. I’m here to cheer you on - you have definitely moved me on a conscious and spiritual level. Thank you for giving us a gentle landing but also a firm nudge on creating our own art. I’m excited to also read your essays on Substack , catch up on your TikTok videos. I hope this review gives you the warmest hug - and I’m saying it wholeheartedly. I know that you are speaking from lived and ancestral experience. We are so lucky to have your voice and for you to genuinely want to uplift us share your thoughts and experiences.

The words and concepts this speaker shares in their podcast offers so much clarity and perspective to the world I live in. These thoughts and conversations are so important to hear as navigating through modern day life can be messy, uncertain and passionate. Thank you much for the vulnerability, truth and the inspiration that is poured into this podcast.

My heart is fuller with every episode.

I can’t wait for the next episodes to come!!!!

I got so much out of this amazing listen. They delved into topics of true acceptance and the quest to discover and uncover the magnificence in ourselves and each other. Should be mandatory listening❤️‍🩹❤️
