In this solo episode of Beyonding Podcast, Myra Capri explores the journey of dreaming—what it asks of us to envision something that doesn’t yet exist, trust in its possibility, and remain committed even when the path forward is unclear. Inspired in part by Imani Ellis’s journey of bringing CultureCon, what has become the world's largest creative "homecoming," to life, Myra reflects on the courage it takes to create something new and the willingness to believe in a vision that others may not yet understand.

But what does it cost to dream? And how do we pursue what we’re called to create without losing ourselves in the process?

Myra explores the lessons found in delay, the importance of filtering out the noise, and the role that community plays in bringing our dreams to life. She reminds us that while dreaming requires faith, persistence, and a little bit of imagination, we were never meant to do it all alone.

In this episode of the Beyonding Podcast, Kailei Carr and Myra Capri sit in conversation about navigating this moment of deep spiritual and energetic change. When so much feels uncertain, what does it mean to stay present, trust what is unfolding, and remain open to what’s possible?

What might we hear, feel, and remember if we step outside the noise and into stillness? 

In this solo episode, co-host Myra Capri opens her heart and mind to reflect on a truth many of us feel but rarely name: the unbearable urgency and unsustainable pace of the world around us. Speaking from a healing space, Myra invites us to consider how rushing through life steals our clarity, distorts our purpose, and disconnects us from the things that truly matter.

Myra explores her own journey of exhaustion, misalignment, and ultimately, the powerful reset that came with learning (and re-learning) how to rest.

This episode also dives into the ancient Greek concepts of time—Chronos (clock time) and Kairos (sacred timing)—offering a fresh lens on how we relate to time and how our time wounds are begging to be healed.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and return to yourself. You’ll even be guided through a powerful visualization to help you anchor into stillness. Sometimes the most urgent thing we can do… is pause.

Together, they explore the powerful dynamic of sisterhood; how it becomes a space where we’re not only seen but reflected back to ourselves in safety and sacredness. The conversation moves through the layers of emotional honesty, from what it feels like and even the healing required within our own communities in order to be able to deeply connect in a healthy way. 

The ladies speak candidly about sisterhood as a journey that makes us feel richer together, while ultimately discovering sisterhood to be an unspoken language—particularly for Black women. They also explore the provocative question: "can we have sacred spaces with people who do not look like us?"

This conversation is a soft but powerful call to return to one another—to build, heal, and grow in ways that honor the best version of who we’re becoming. Sisterhood and Beyonding aren't just about the destination. It’s about showing up, even when we don’t know what’s on the other side.

]]> In this soul-stirring episode, co-hosts, Myra Capri and Kailei Carr, sit down with licensed therapist and coach, Aseanté Renee, and NAACP-Image Award nominated on-air talent, Gia Peppers. Together, they explore the powerful dynamic of sisterhood; how it becomes a space where we’re not only seen but reflected back to ourselves in safety and sacredness. The conversation moves through the layers of emotional honesty, from what it feels like and even the healing required within our own communities in order to be able to deeply connect in a healthy way. 

The ladies speak candidly about sisterhood as a journey that makes us feel richer together, while ultimately discovering sisterhood to be an unspoken language—particularly for Black women. They also explore the provocative question: "can we have sacred spaces with people who do not look like us?"

This conversation is a soft but powerful call to return to one another—to build, heal, and grow in ways that honor the best version of who we’re becoming. Sisterhood and Beyonding aren't just about the destination. It’s about showing up, even when we don’t know what’s on the other side.

This is Beyonding!

In Part 1, our co-facilitators, Kailei Carr, Myra Capri, Pascale Bourne and Dr. Naeema Olatunji, shared what they were most looking forward to, how to embody the theme of "Going Beyond Limits," and how the sacred setting of the Imiloa Institute complimented the energy of the retreat. But now, four months later, they're reflecting on the transformation that took place—and how it continues to unfold in each of their lives.

This episode is about the activation that occurred: the deep inner work, the unlearning, the joy, the sisterhood, and the bold question that guided it all—What have we told ourselves is impossible… and what are we now seeing is possible?

Not only do they discuss how reconnecting with nature brings us back to ourselves, but also the lessons they've each carried home—including what they have learned about the power of SURRENDER.  

You’ll also hear an open invitation to experience the evolving stories of the women who were there, each having their own experience, continuing the ripple of true transformation.

When sacred space is created—not just to rest, but to remember who you are at the deepest, most "soulular" level. In the latest episode the Beyonding Podcast, co-hosts, Myra Capri and Kailei Carr are joined by their fellow Beyonding Retreat facilitators, Pascale Bourne and Dr. Naeema Olatunji, for a rich, heart-centered conversation about what it means to truly go beyond. 

Not just beyond burnout or survival mode. Beyond the masks, the noise, the limits we didn’t even realize we placed on ourselves.

They talk about why immersive experiences—like the kind curated at the Beyonding Retreat—can be the catalyst for deep transformation. The kind that shakes something loose. That brings clarity, connection, and the courage to walk in your purpose fully activated.

This conversation (recorded last summer) is a window into what becomes possible when you give yourself permission to go there. To be witnessed, held, and supported as you come home to yourself.

As they explore the essence of “Beyonding” and what it truly means to embody this practice, they also share personal reflections, stories of past breakthroughs, and the heart-centered intention behind this full experience. 

If you’ve been feeling the nudge to have a powerful retreat experience of your own… maybe this is your sign.
