Not everyone is into with the more esoteric concepts and ideas about life, reality, and our Soul's voyage through the Cosmos. Well, let me tell you, I sure am!

It's hard to imagine a World that didn't feel like it was ruled and dominated by Men. A World where War didn't exist and societies were ruled and governed very differently. Yet the truth of our Human history is very different than we may have been led to believe. So what is the truth of Women's role in ancient civilizations and her potential to save the world, help us heal from harmful belief syst...

Most of us have heard of the term " A Spiritual Awakening", yet what does it actually mean? Is it something that happens instantaneously or over time? Is there something we have to do to bring it about? Do they happen for everyone? Are they positive or unpleasant experiences? These are some questions I wanted to explore so I decided to do an Identify and Heal solo episode on the topic to share my...

One of the greatest challenges that all Human Beings face is the incessant voice in our heads which seems to critique and judge our every move and remind us of past mistakes & all of our short comings. Co-habitating with such an unpleasant guest can feel nearly maddening at times and extremely discouraging on a day-to-day basis. So, what can we do about this abusive brain chatter? My guest thi...

In the midst of our day to day lives it can be easy to get caught up in the minutiae & illusion of obligations, needs, and requirements. There is a vital importance in taking time and space to release all these material notions and duties and connect with our true essence and self. This is how we find peace and reconnect with the truth that we are not what we do, we are not what happens to us,...

We've all been there before. We've sworn off dating, deciding to take a break and focus on ourselves until the real deal comes along. And then...someone does come along, but it ain't quite it. Yet it is someone to date, spend time with, have sex with, text with, and share life with. Nothing wrong with exploring options yet at what point do we decide that we're REALLY ready to wait for the one? Get...

Working towards healing and loving ourselves can be heavy work. It's wonderful to add some levity once in awhile through laughter and humor. Mix that with some education around our bodies, sex, & sexuality and we may just find ourselves having a pretty good time with this self love and acceptance thing. My guest this week, Melissa Strype, has created fun and beautiful videos and performances b...

Ok, hear me out here. I'm not making accusations, I just wanted to share some thoughts that came to me about being stuck in one dead end, dramatic relationship after the other. Intensity, passion, deceit, manipulation, confusion, ups & downs, on & on. I thought to record this episode when in a moment of nostalgia over an ex I realized that it's impossible to have an unhealthy or "toxic" re...

If there is one thing I'm eager to ask people about these days it's, how did you find your Soul Mate!? As someone on the pursuit, I'm so curious how people actually do it!

One such individual has been a past guest and is a treasured friend, Amanda Monier. I've loved watching Ama...

Tarot came into my life very unexpectedly, as it often does for many Spiritual seekers. When we announce our willingness to open ourselves to our psychic, metaphysic, and energetic abilities we will find that new tools and gifts will come into our path. Tarot cards are one of these tools. Tarot's earliest recorded history dates back to 1400's where Tarot was developed originally as a game. As time...

How often do you take the time to slow down and really take in the beauty of everything around you? The beauty of a flower, a moment, a smile, a laugh, a feeling of love, the food on your plate, the water flowing through a creek. There is beauty everywhere all the time, it's only of matter of whether we choose to consciously take it in and appreciate it for the unique expression into the Universe...

Every person is unique in how they've learned to connect with and attach to others in romantic relationships. Many would say that these attachment styles are developed early on in infancy & childhood and stick with us into later life. Attachment styles impact how we conduct ourselves in our human connections. Many theories have been developed around attachment styles with prominent thought poi...

As I prep this episode on the 4th of July to be released tomorrow I of course have the theme of Freedom in mind. What does freedom mean to you? It's appropriate to be working on this episode on Independence Day as my delightful guest, Petia Kolibova, and I have a beautiful discussion around personal sovereignty and freeing ourselves from the ideas, messaging, and modeling of who we're supposed to...

Breaking up is hard to do. It can be absolutely brutal when a relationship comes to an end leaving us feeling like a life force we've come to know and enjoy has just disappeared. There can be a lot of crying, deep sadness, confusion, questions, and intense longing to reconnect with our lost love. The more connected with our Divine Feminine self we are the less of an impact these endings have, beca...

Somatic therapy is a beautiful offering that gives due recognition to the importance of stored trauma and other emotions in the body.  It has extensive benefits which my guest this week, Maira Holzmann, knows all about. Maira is a body-based, somatically trained trauma therapist specializing in helping adults heal from childhood trauma. She shares with us about benefits of somatics in leadership,...

The answers are written in the stars. Such deep wisdom and understanding can be retrieved from studying the skies and our birth charts. My guest this week, Goddess Astrologer Jude Hotep, realized at an early age that she wanted to heal, reclaim her power, and understand herself better. She discovered astrology as a beautiful and powerful avenue to do so. Realizing that the greater understanding we...

The old adage is true; breaking up is hard to do. There is nothing quite like the ending of a romantic relationship to truly feel like you've been punched in the stomach, had your heart stepped on, and like an angry swarm of bees have been placed in your head with swirling thoughts of what went wrong. Of course all endings are different yet, a lot of the time, break-ups result in a fairly strong e...

I always enjoy bringing some of that Masculine energy onto Women Waken. It's a beautiful thing when the Masculine and Feminine energies can combine to celebrate their differences and realize their similarities. And it's a great opportunity to get new perspectives on how the experiences of Men and Women differ in shared realms such as relationships, dating, and sexuality. This week I got the opport...

After doing a few episodes on tips to increase your chances of getting into a healthy romantic connection, I thought I'd take the next step. Once you're dating someone, how do you monitor your own defensive tendencies that crop up once we get into the early stages of relationships? On this identify and Heal episode, I offer a few key steps you can take to identify, address, and prevent the tendenc...

One of my favorite themes to explore in my work as a podcaster is; how do we want the future to look? What do we want for future generations that we didn't have? And what struggles and suffering would we like to see cease? The youth of today can teach us a lot about how things are already changing and what direction we're moving in. My guest this week, Holly McClain, is a Counselor and Certified L...

Someone once said that aging isn't for the faint of heart. Aging can indeed be challenging and intimidating. Especially for Women. With so much focus on our looks and the reactions we elicit from the opposite sex, it can be hard to go gently into that dark night and embrace getting older. Watching our physical appearance change and possibly feel less noticed and revered. Yet, do we really lose val...
