Meet your hostess

Joya always dreamed of being Nancy Drew or a priest. Turns out, she became both: a mystical detective solving the ultimate mystery of consciousness itself.

As a quantum spirituality teacher and bridge between worlds, Joya doesn't just talk about awakening, she transmits it. With her son guiding from the other side after his 2025 transition, she's become a living laboratory for resurrection consciousness, proving that our greatest losses can become our most profound spiritual initiations.

From a "9" on the ACES trauma scale to a channel of divine frequencies, Joya's journey from the streets to the sacred demonstrates that no wound is too deep for transformation. She's not here to give you pretty spiritual platitudes - she's here to show you how to alchemize your pain into power and your breakdown into breakthrough.

Originally launched as The Powerful Creator Show in 2019, the podcast evolved to We Woke Up Like This in 2023 after Joya's own spiritual death and resurrection. Following transformative pilgrimages to sacred sites worldwide - which mysteriously prepared her for her son's crossing - she returns in 2025 with revolutionary content that bridges mystical experience with scientific understanding.

This podcast is a transmission hub where consciousness research meets embodied awakening, where grief becomes grace, and where you learn to live as the multi-dimensional being of light you truly are.

Welcome to the frequency of resurrection. Your soul remembers why you're here.
