About This Podcast

Ayawithin is a podcast hosted by aya shelbs a Clinical Therapist and online leader, where she unapologetically dives into the ugly yet beautiful side of stepping into one's power. Aya is someone that leans into the discomfort of talking about the sh!t no one really wants to talk about. She enjoys diving into taboo topics from sex, plant medicine, self-development, shadow work, heartbreak, or what she's currently going through in her personal life. Nothing is planned to keep it raw and vulnerable. So let's take a deep breath together and dive in.
