Meet Zipporah Banyay

Today we’re excited to be connecting with Zipporah Banyay again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Zipporah , we are so thrilled to be connecting again and can’t wait to hear about all the amazing things you have been up to. Before we jump into all of that, some of our readers might have missed our prior interview, so can you take a moment to reintroduce yourself?
First of thanks for having me again, it’s really exciting to be connecting with the community during this new transition of my life. Quite a bit has changed for me since our last interview. Previously I was a social media marketing specialist, and since then I’ve taken my skills into my own business and purpose. In 2022 I started the podcast Holistic and Spiritual AF guided by my ancestors of course, it started out with me, sharing my personal stories of spiritual development, how I healed generational trauma, ancestral wisdom, and energy healing. Later I went on to activating spiritual gifts in my DNA and began to write my journey in short stories on Substack and Medium. In May 2023 I released my first book The Five Stages of Shadow Work and it’s journal companion followed shortly after. The podcast evolved into having other guests on the show, sharing their spiritual gifts and expertise with the audience. I started implementing spiritual classes for the collective in the latter part of 2023. Everything from how to connect with your ancestors to balancing your Chakra systems. Just recently, I was certified as an accredited meditation facilitator and have begin offering, live guided meditations on TikTok and YouTube and now Insight Timer. In January 2025 I just released my new e-book the Ancestral Altar Guide: How To Use and Create a Altar to Honor Your Ancestors and I’m currently working on another book but this one will be a long-term project. I have a online store, Goddess Expressions Boutique, LLC and here I offer spiritual consultations, teas, my books and classes and I plan to grow that more this year. So as you can see life has changed quite a bit in a good way and it all started with my ancestors telling me to start a podcast I had no idea what would come of that at the time, but it’s very clear now. I’m walking in purpose and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been on the path for over 20 years and though my marketing skills were not the wrong thing to do it was how I was using them that needed to be adjusted to who I truly am. Today I am Zipporah Banyay- Goddess Zee a reiki master, qigong instructor, meditation facilitator and intuitive energy healer, with over 20 years of dedicated practice. My journey into the spiritual realm began at a young age, driven by a strong connection to my ancestors and their wisdom. I later went on to healing generational trauma and spiritual development. Throughout my journey, I have guided countless individuals toward achieving deeper self-awareness and empowerment by transforming personal traumas into sources of strength. Goddess Zee is the host of the Holistic and Spiritual AF Podcast, author of The 5 Stages of Shadow Work, and the Ancestral Altar Guide: How To Use and Create an Altar to Honor Your Ancestors and offers spiritual consultations and holds classes for the collective helping to raise the consciousness and frequency of the chosen ones.

Awesome, so we reached out because we wanted to hear all about what you have been up to since we last connected.
Life is amazing today! I love the skin that I’m in. I’ve come a long way and through a lot to get to this place. I’m connecting with like spirited folks around the globe and I’m helping people reconnect to their spirit, selves, their ancestors, and began to activate their spiritual gifts something I always wanted to do. Something I’m really excited about this year is growing the podcast, the online store, completing the book and I’m looking forward to traveling this year and bringing my gifts around the country. My goal is to host at least one online Healing summit this year where I’ll pull in different healers, spiritualists and metaphysicians around the globe and to share with the collective consciousness, a day of healing and enlightenment.

We also want to give folks a chance to get to know you a bit better so we’ve prepared a fun lightning round of questions. Ready?

Was there a moment in your career that you can tell us about that illustrates or demonstrates the kind of person you are, your approach, ethos, etc.
I would say the biggest pivot for me was being true to myself. Being a social media, marketing specialist and helping people to grow their business online was great, but it wasn’t true to who I am. When I stepped away from that to focus on my inner realm and start working with my ancestors consistently, I was able to hear the messages and intuitively know the right things to do. I had always heard from them that marketing wasn’t wrong, and that I was supposed to be using it for me. When I was able to trust God, my ancestors and my intuition I was able to make the pivot into what I had been building up to for the last 20 years. I started moving in spirit and not mind alone and in doing so i’m now in the flow of my life and my business, and I attract people to me rather than chasing. This is a sign from the universe that I’m doing exactly what I’m supposed to be doing and now I hear my ancestors tell me just that, just keep doing what you’re doing and it’s getting better and better. That’s what I inspire others to do to tap into their spirit realm to receive the messages that are meant for them on their spiritual journey. Everyone is unique and everyone has a purpose.
