In this episode of Awaken with Oliver, Oliver sits down with Akeem Shannon, founder of FlipStick, to hear his extraordinary story of spiritual awakening, anxiety, angel numbers, and the winding path that led him from a corporate sales career to creating a phone accessory brand and eventually landing on Shark Tank.

In this episode of Awaken with Oliver, Oliver sits down with Kenya K. Stevens – self‑proclaimed best love coach on the planet, love shaman, and divorce stopper – to radically rethink what marriage, relationships, and commitment really mean. Kenya shares her five foundational principles for a thriving partnership and explains why ownership, shame, and blame have no place in modern love.

Topics Discussed:

• The five base principles of a strong marriage: no shame and blame, no victims or villains, no cop‑outs or dropouts, purpose is growth (benefit is love), and “I create my life”
• Why open marriage won’t make you happy – but ownership‑based monogamy won’t either
• The three parts of the self: animal (feelings), ego (storyteller), higher self (solution‑finder)
• How to stop shaming and blaming your partner by recognising you’re looking at a reflection of yourself

Episode Highlights:

[00:00:03] – Kenya K. Stevens introduces herself: “I’m the best love coach on the planet. I stop divorces.”

[00:00:14] – How she stops divorces: changing the underpinnings of marriage – no more ownership of another human

[00:00:31] – Why an open marriage will not make anyone happy (and what actually works)

[00:01:52] – The five principles of Kenya’s own marriage: no shame, no blame, no victims, no villains, no cop‑outs, no dropouts

[00:02:55] – Oliver’s observation: 30‑year‑olds getting married, having kids, and becoming unhappy – they don’t even like each other anymore

[00:05:18] – The “up‑level” system: every challenge in your relationship is a reflection of yourself

[00:07:45] – Breaking down the animal, ego, and higher self

[00:09:30] – Can a submissive man become dominant again after years of being the “little bitch”?

[00:11:14] – The alpha woman who wants her man to lead but can’t stop leading herself – can she truly submit?

[00:12:32] – The pattern: a submissive husband often had a dominant mother

[00:13:04] – Polyamory and jealousy: why higher self solves jealousy, but ego never will

[00:14:25] – Humans are hardwired for community

[00:15:34] – The third option beyond animal urge and intellectual control: higher self

[00:16:22] – “It takes a village” – and why one person can never give you everything you need

[00:17:06] – When kids are involved: community becomes even more necessary, not less

[00:18:20] – 40‑60% marriage failure rate for 80 years

[00:20:15] – Oliver’s personal journey: polyamory or just searching for one real connection?

[00:22:53] – Kenya’s final message if she had one day left to live: “I’ve been here since the beginning of time. Death is not real. Live as if you are infinite.”

[00:23:18] – Kenya’s advice to Oliver: “Take my course. The paradigm shift will be unreal.”
