S5. EP. 86. I forgot to have fun. [SOLO]
Hi! This Season we are dialed into becoming the best version of ourselves. This episode is about maxing out on spiritually seriousness. I reflect on struggles with self-worth, especially around dating, partnership, and a growing desire to have a child. Self-love is the core work that is making my life easier. After a dark 90 days, feeling disconnected and weary I decide to take a trip to Hawaii to surf. We also talk about hobbies, making good friends who remind you to be hot and how my self talk got better with this affirmation I have you do with me. Repeat after me...“I am amazing.”00:00 Welcome and Season Theme00:29 Spiritual Identity Defined01:54 Self Love and Worth04:30 Love Partnership Desires06:40 Too Spiritual Not Grounded12:08 Experiences Over Things14:20 Booking Hawaii Reset16:13 Hobbies and Joy Return18:49 Friends and Self Talk20:51 Affirmation Practice22:19 Hawaii Surfing Outro23:18 Newsletter and FarewellConnect with Delina:Instagram @delinamedhinTikTok @delinamedhinYouTube @delinamedhinThreads @delinamedhin Website www.delinamedhin.com

S5. EP. 85. Living In Wisdom with Master Well-Being Educator, Devi Brown
Devi Brown, a leading voice in wellness and spiritual growth and one of the most sought-after wellness educators blending meditation, breathwork, metaphysical philosophy, and spiritual psychology to guide artists, athletes, and executives toward holistic healing, joins us to explore what it truly means to care for yourself in a world that constantly pulls you out of your center. Devi shares how her work in meditation, breathwork, and spiritual psychology has shaped a deeply personal and transformative approach to healing, one that goes far beyond surface-level self-care.She opens up about why anxiety is a natural response to the times we’re living in, how self-care evolves into a daily, embodied practice, and the importance of learning how to be with yourself through every season of life. She also speaks on the difference between the culturally conditioned self and the authentic self, what it really means to feel “called” to help others, and why healing is a lifelong journey, not a destination.Welcome to It Takes A Village with Delina Medhin, where inspiring founders & creatives share ‘who I built this with’.

S5. EP. 84. Gratitude and Ego Death [SOLO VIDEO]
This episode is sponsored by Pura x Malala Fund Collection. Shop Now pura.com https://pura.com/pages/malala-fund?srsltid=AfmBOoq5mKy6hkDrhGlbx26HO3GgrN68ZY8QkJWZWECUwa-lHjVBvb-lI reflect on a re-energizing week in New York City and the emotional clarity that came from returning with fresh eyes. I talk about the energetic difference I feel between Brooklyn and Manhattan, then revisit the deeper purpose of It Takes A Village and season five’s focus on becoming the best version of yourself through honesty, healing, and community.I explore the complicated nature of gratitude and explain why I don’t believe true gratitude can be forced. Sometimes gratitude exists alongside grief, anger, uncertainty, and sadness. Inspired by a conversation with my friend Denise Sanchez, @theguidedself . I share a “rage on a page” practice and how allowing myself to fully feel anger became an unexpected doorway into peace and emotional release.I also recap attending Texture On Set and The Makeup Show/iArtist, sharing how surreal it felt to teach on stage in New York and realize I no longer feel attached to external validation or career ego, even while the Met Gala was happening simultaneously across the city. A meaningful conversation with James Vincent became a full-circle moment that reflected just how much my relationship to success, ambition, and self-worth has evolved.Throughout the episode, I open up about grieving a recent relationship while simultaneously feeling deep gratitude for my life, health, friendships, and spiritual growth. I reflect on learning to hold duality of understanding that sadness, joy, anger, hope, and gratitude can all exist at the same time , and close with a heartfelt prayer of thanks. I am hosting a free May 24th meditation and connection event in Los Angeles for listeners subscribed to my newsletter.

S5. EP 80. Meeting In Real Life [SOLO VIDEO]
Sign up for my newsletter to find out the location of the LA Meetup -> www. ittakesavillagepod.comIn the first video solo episode, I’m opening Season 5 of It Takes a Village with the first video-recorded solo episode of the season. I'm reflecting on how this show has evolved, from recording on Zoom in the early days, to interviewing beauty founders in New York, to now stepping into a more produced format while still holding onto what has always mattered most to me: community.I talk about what the last two years have looked like since moving from New York to Los Angeles, and how that transition impacted me in ways I didn’t expect. My style changed, my brand alignments shifted, and I found myself in a period where I wasn’t building or holding community in the way I once did. It took time, but I finally feel settled, grounded, and ready to create again in a more intentional way.This episode is really about returning to that original intention of building a village, but doing it in a way that reflects who I am today. I share my plans to start hosting in-person gatherings here in LA, something simple like a hike or a beach walk, followed by conversation, connection, and support. A space where we can meet each other in real life and remember that we’re not meant to do any of this alone.I also open the door for those of you who aren’t in Los Angeles. If you’re interested in an online version of this kind of community, I want to hear from you. And beyond that, I encourage you to create your own. Community doesn’t have to be complicated. It can start small. What matters is the intention to connect.This conversation is also about loneliness, and the reality that so many of us are feeling it in different ways right now. My hope is that this season, and these gatherings, become a reminder that connection is still available to us, and that we have the power to create it.If you want to stay close to everything I’m building this year, sign up for the newsletter at ittakesavillagepod.com. That’s where I’ll be sharing details about upcoming meetups and ways to be part of this next chapter.I’m so grateful you’re here, and I’m really excited for what we’re building together.Timestamps00:00 Welcome to Season Five00:54 How the Show Has Evolved02:38 Moving to LA Changed Me04:12 Making Space for Community Again05:00 Planning In-Person Meetups in LA07:19 Opening the Door for Online Community08:37 Why In-Person Connection Matters Right Now09:51 Start Your Own Community11:00 Loneliness and Taking Small Steps11:43 Closing + NewsletterConnect with Delina:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/delinamedhinTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@delinamedhinYouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/delinamedhinThreads http://threads.net/@delinamedhinWebsite www.delinamedhin.comGet the Build Your Village Video eBook here: https://stan.store/delinamedhin/p/build-your-village-ebookJoin my newsletter, This Made Me Think Of You: http://www.delinamedhin.com

S5. EP. 79 Who Are You? [SOLO]
In this episode, I’m back to sharing how the show has evolved. What started as an exploration of the “who” and “how” behind building a village has shifted into a deeper question: who are you, and how are you building yourself up?I talk about why I’ve been recording more audio episodes lately, and I introduce the idea of “energetic weather.” I’ve been noticing how we often sync emotionally with the people around us, especially when we’re operating at similar vibrations.Drawing from six years of interviewing major beauty founders, along with my own experience creating beauty content, I reflect on what actually creates peace and success. For me, it’s not about personas. It’s about self-work, self-love, and true alignment.In this episode, I invite you to choose what genuinely brings you joy, to have faith in your future, and to practice speaking to yourself with kindness. I really believe that when you’re in alignment, you attract the right people, and the “how” starts to feel a lot easier.If this resonates, share the episode with someone who needs it, and join my newsletter to stay connected for upcoming LA events.Newsletter sign up -> www.ittakesavillagepod.com00:00 Welcome to Season Five01:23 Energetic Weather Check02:24 Vibration and Your Circle03:33 Why This Show Exists04:44 Success Needs Self Work06:21 My Content Misalignment08:41 Creators and Purpose10:25 Fear of Leaving the Old13:50 Faith and Future Vision14:42 Guided Affirmations16:32 Raise Your Vibration Daily18:49 Kindness and Connection19:40 Share and Live Events20:30 Closing GoodbyeConnect with Delina:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/delinamedhinTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@delinamedhinYouTube https://www.youtube.com/delinamedhinThreads http://threads.net/@delinamedhinWebsite www.delinamedhin.comGet the Build Your Village Video eBook here: https://stan.store/delinamedhin/p/build-your-village-ebookJoin my newsletter, This Made Me Think Of You: http://www.delinamedhin.com
