Cacao Conversations: Sip. Connect. Awaken.

You've asked for advice.  You've read the books.  You've listened to the podcasts.  You've taken the courses.  You've sought guidance from people you trust.  But at some point, a question begins to emerge: Can I still hear myself beneath all the noise?  Many of us spend years looking outside ourselves for answers. We learn to trust experts, authority figures, family member...

You've spent your life being who everyone needed you to be.  The responsible one.  The strong one.  The caretaker.  The helper.  The peacemaker.  The leader.  The healer.  But have you ever stopped to ask yourself: Who would I be without all those roles?  Many of us become so identified with what we do for others that we lose touch with who we truly are. We become experts at meeting expectati...

I've read the books.  I've listened to the podcasts.  I've been to therapy.  I've done the healing.  So why do I still feel stuck?  If you've ever found yourself asking that question, you're not alone.  Many women reach a point where they understand their patterns, know their triggers, and can explain exactly why they do what they do. They have spent years investing i...

Most people think giving away their power is obvious.  They think it looks like toxic relationships, difficult bosses, manipulative people, or circumstances beyond their control.  But some of the biggest ways we give our power away are much more subtle.  They show up in our everyday thoughts, habits, expectations, relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves.  In this episode of Cacao Conversa...

Most of us have expectations.  Expectations about how life should unfold.  How other people should behave.  How quickly we should heal.  What success should look like.  Who we should be by now.  We often think expectations help us get more out of life. We think they keep us motivated, focused, and moving toward our goals.  But what if they're actually doing the opposite? What if our expectati...

Last week, we started a conversation about people pleasing, overgiving, and what happens when helping everyone else starts hurting you.  This week, we're going deeper. Because the real issue isn't helping people. The real question is: Who are you if nobody needs you? Many of us learned that being useful was the safest way to receive love, approval, connection, or a sense of worth. We bec...

Everyone wants intuition.  Purpose.  Manifestation.  Peace.  Connection.  Answers.  But most people are trying to build their lives from a completely ungrounded nervous system. We live in a world that keeps pulling us out of our bodies and into stress, distraction, overwhelm, comparison, fear, overthinking, and information overload. Then we wonder why we feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected, and...

Mother’s Day can bring up a lot.  Grief.  Longing.  Love.  Resentment.  Regret.  Sadness for what was… and sadness for what never was.  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we use Mother’s Day as the doorway into a much deeper conversation: What happens when life doesn’t look the way you imagined?  Maybe you lost your mother.  Maybe you lost a child.  Maybe becoming a mother never happened the...

Everyone says they want connection. They want community. They want the world to change.  But most people are still waiting.  Waiting to feel ready.  Waiting for the right time.  Waiting for someone else to go first.  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we’re having a real conversation about what’s actually keeping people stuck—and why doing the work alone only takes you so far.  We talk about:...

You Don’t Trust Yourself — And It’s Running Your Life | Break the Pattern & Reclaim Your Power  If you feel stuck in your life, your relationships, your decisions… this might be hard to hear—but it will set you free: You don’t trust yourself.  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we break down how lack of self-trust quietly runs your life—and why no amount of overthinking, researching, or a...

If you feel stuck in your life, relationships, money, or health… this might be hard to hear—but it’s also freeing: You’re not stuck. You’re running a program.  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we break down what “programs” actually are—your beliefs, conditioning, and nervous system patterns—and how they silently shape your reality.  We talk about:  Why you keep repeating the same patterns i...

On this episode of Cacao Conversations, we’re diving into a conversation that’s becoming impossible to ignore…  Artificial Intelligence is everywhere. In our work. In our conversations. Even in our healing and personal growth.  But the real question is: Are we using AI… or is it quietly shaping us?  We explore the growing tension between artificial connection and authentic human presence—and what...

On this episode of Cacao Conversations, Dorice shares a deeply personal and profound experience that unfolded on Holy Saturday—one that moved beyond the ordinary and into something sacred, raw, and universal.  Standing in her kitchen beside an image of the Virgin Mary, she closed her eyes… and found herself inside a living vision of the Pietà. She was holding Jesus. His body, lifeless, in her arms...

Everyone’s talking about masculine and feminine energy right now… but most people are getting it wrong.  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we break down what masculine and feminine energy actually look like in real life — beyond the fluff, beyond the labels, and beyond what social media has been telling you.  This is a grounded, honest conversation about how these energies show up in your re...

 Egypt isn’t just history… it’s alive.  In this powerful conversation, we share what we actually experienced during our recent journey through Egypt—from the temples of Karnak, Abydos, and beyond—where ancient wisdom, energy, and something much deeper is still very present.  Joined by egyptologist and astrologer Mary Lomando and geomancy practitioner Karina, we explore Egypt from multiple lenses—h...

This conversation matters right now. The rise of the manosphere has sparked strong opinions, heated debates, and a growing divide between men and women. But what if we’ve been looking at it all wrong?  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we’re not here to blame, shame, or take sides. We’re here to get honest. Because underneath the noise… there are real people. Men who feel lost, disconnected,...

The world feels chaotic right now. Division, burnout, disconnection, and systems that no longer feel aligned with the wellbeing of humanity. Many people can feel that something is out of balance — even if they can’t quite name what it is.  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we speak directly to the role women play in restoring that balance.  Across cultures and wisdom traditions, the sacred f...

Everyone has an opinion about safety.  Especially when you tell them you're traveling somewhere that the media has decided is “dangerous.”  As Julietta prepares to leave for Egypt, the warnings started pouring in.  “Be careful.”  “Is it safe there?”  “I would never go.”  But it raises a deeper question… How do we actually decide if something is safe?  Is it based on reality? Or is it based on...

This one might stretch you.  We’re talking about the possibility that what feels solid… isn’t.  That identity, certainty, and even the physical world may be more like a projection than a permanent structure.  Before you panic — this isn’t about denying your life. It’s about loosening your grip on what you think is fixed.  And when that grip softens, something interesting happens. You stop living a...

We all have an answer ready when someone asks us what we want.  More peace.  More freedom.  Better relationships.  More purpose.  More time.  More money.  Less stress.  But what if that answer isn’t actually true? What if the reason you don’t have what you say you want… is because a deeper part of you doesn’t feel safe having it?  In this episode, we’re talking about:  The difference between what...

Are you addicted to certainty?  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta Wenzel and Dorice explore why we cling to being right — and what that attachment is doing to our nervous system, our relationships, and our growth.  We say we want truth.  But what we often want is certainty. And certainty feels safe.  But here’s the deeper question: Is certainty even real?  In this conversation, we u...

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Dorice explore the hidden power of limiting beliefs — and why it’s not just a few beliefs holding you back… it might be all of them.  We’re often taught to identify and release “limiting beliefs” so we can heal, grow, and manifest the life we want.  But what if every belief creates a boundary? Because the moment you believe something about yours...

 Nothing in your life is random.  Your emotions, beliefs, nervous system, and energetic state are constantly shaping what you experience — especially in relationship with others.  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Dorice explore the deeper truth of co-creation and what it really means to take your power back.  We talk about frequency, vibration, emotional patterns, and subconsci...

 There is a field of intelligence that exists beyond time, beyond individuality, and beyond ownership. A shared web of awareness where ideas, creativity, healing, and insight live long before they take form.  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we explore collective consciousness as the shared field of knowing that all humans can access. This is why people across the world often receive the sa...

 We are living in a world that feels increasingly divided. Politics, race, gender, religion, identity — lines are being drawn everywhere, and we’re told we have to choose sides. What’s harder to admit is that the same separation is happening inside spiritual and conscious communities. People focused on being right. Making others wrong. Using spirituality to divide instead of unite. In this episode...
