NOMAD KITTIES

Hey, Nomad Kitties 💖🐱 !!

We’re excited to share EPISODE 11 of the #NOMADKITTIES PODCAST

This is a CHISMEANDO edition:

Chismeando is a Nomad Kitties (NMK) podcast edition where we share intimate conversations about life, growth, and all the juicy surprises along the way. We hope to spark connections and inspire you through our stories. Let us know what resonates with you! 💖

Step into today’s episode where Sonia, Steph, and Aisha take you on a journey through Mexico City. What began as a retreat for rest and connection transformed into a magical, unplanned experience: matching tattoos.

✨ Here’s what’s inside:

• Rites of Passage: Steph’s tattoo became a bold mark of staying open-hearted, trusting intuition, and honoring her personal journey.
• The Axolotl’s Power: How this pre-hispanic mythical creature—symbolizing youth, resilience, and transformation—inspired their spiritual journey.
• Pain as Connection: Sonia reflects on dedicating the pain of tattooing to Mother Earth, turning it into a profound spiritual experience.
• Vulnerability and Intimacy: Aisha reflects on how the process of tattooing brought raw trust, meditative connection, and a powerful moment of sisterhood.

Quotes from the Episode:
🖤 “This tattoo was a rite of passage for me. I placed it right where my heart sits to remind me to stay open, let my intuition lead, and carry this journey with me forever.” – Steph

🖤 “We discovered that the axolotl represents youth, resilience, and transformation—it’s also linked to the feathered serpent god. It was such a perfect alignment for us.” – Aisha

🖤 “I dedicated the pain to Mother Earth. I told myself, ‘I’m a warrior for her, I will die for her.’ It became a spiritual experience that connected me to everything I love.” – Sonia

How it Ended:
What started as a retreat to reconnect turned into an unforgettable, transformative moment of art, sisterhood, and care. This episode is a celebration of the bold femme energy 🐅 that fuels our stories and the cosmic exploration that keeps us coming back for more.
