Mary Magdalene, Healing & Somatic Awakening with Dr. Melissa Sophia Joy
Épisode 147
jeudi 30 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:06:53
It was an honor to sit down with Dr. Melissa Sophia Joy to connect about the love we share for Mary Magdalene.
Melissa shares of being woken up in the night by a vision of Mary Magdalene and Yeshua, and aligning with her true path as a Priestess of the Rose.
We learn about her story of healing insomnia, eczema, and traumatic memories from past lives through a practice that evolved into what she now teaches: Somatic Awakening.
Dr. Melissa Sophia Joy, ND, is the founder of Somatic Awakening®, an internationally known spiritual teacher, author, oracle, and Naturopathic Doctor specializing in Mind-Body-Spirit healing.
She is also the Founding Director of Sophia Healing Academy, a mystery school devoted to transformative healing and spiritual awakening. A Divine Feminine Wisdom Keeper, Starseed, and multidimensional channel, Dr. Joy receives guidance from higher realms to facilitate profound shifts and conscious evolution.
As a guardian of Somatic Awakening® an ancient healing and spiritual path based in the Magdalene-Christos-Sophia lineage, she merges the Law of Love and the Law of One with somatic healing, higher consciousness, and direct connection with the Divine, leading individuals into profound healing, awakening, and embodiment of their divine essence.
German New Medicine & Biological Femininity with Natasha Nazerali
Saison 9 · Épisode 146
jeudi 16 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:11:19
Enrollment is now open for our Year-long Priestess Initiation Program: The Way of the Priestess Beginning this October.Learn more here: http://meredithrom.com/priestess
Sometimes the most unexpected challenges become doorways to new understandings. For me, my introduction to German New Medicine began with a simple prayer for guidance around a health challenge. Not long after, I found myself listening to a podcast with Melissa Sell, which sparked a deep curiosity. I typed "German New Medicine" into the search bar, and through that path, I eventually discovered the work of Natasha Nazerali.
Over the past year, I've been slowly learning and integrating this system into how I see health, healing, and the wisdom of the body. It has opened up a whole new lens on what symptoms mean, why they arise, and how intimately they are connected to our challenges and life experiences.
I knew I wanted to bring this conversation to my community because Natasha's perspective on biological femininity feels like it touches the very root of so many women's health challenges. Her work not only brings clarity to confusing and painful symptoms but also helps us reconnect to the essence of being a woman in a way that is both biological and spiritual.
In this episode we discussed:
The basics and foundations of German New Medicine
The definition of conflict shocks and the healing phase
Breast cancer through the lens of German New Medicine: separation conflicts and nest-worry conflicts
The reason behind clogged ducts when nursing
Why we sneeze, get colds and runny noses
Stories from our lives where GNM was so helpful
The essence of biological femininity: What is a woman's natural state, and what conflicts lead to reproductive health challenges
The conflicts behind female health symptoms such as painful periods, menstrual cycle imbalances, hormones, relationships, perimenopause, fertility, and female health
Mysteries of Mary Magdalene, Southern France, and Sacred Water with Dakota Chanel
Saison 9 · Épisode 145
jeudi 2 octobre 2025 • Durée 55:47
For this week's episode, I sat down with Dakota Chanel, a water priestess and ceremonialist, while she was in Southern France researching the book she is writing on the Cathar region and Mary Magdalene.
I've been following Dakota's work since we first met in Kauai, and have been learning so much from her, even just from her little shares on instagram about Yeshua, Mary Magdalene, and the sacred churches, caves and springs that exist in the Languedoc region of France.
I visited a few sacred sites related to Mary Magdalene in Southern France last April, and Dakota affirmed an intuitive feeling I had in one of the basilicas I visited, thought to hold the bones of Mary Magdalene.
She also shares such a powerful story of her first awakening to Mary Magdalene (and remembering her sacred voice), during ceremony on Magdalene's feast day with her mentor in Ashland, Oregon.
In this episode we discussed:
Water, its power and memory
Mermaids and mer-maidens - where did this name come from? We explore the etimology of the word mer, which means "sea" in French and "love" in ancient Egyptian
How Dakota was awakened to her connection with Mary Magdalene (this story is so powerful)
Where are Mary Magdalene's bones and my experience inside the Basilica in Saint Maximin la Aainte Baume and the difference between the crypt here and another crypt in Northern France at Vézelay
Who were the three Mary's that arrived on a boat in Southern France?
Who were Yeshua and Mary's children?
The essence of Mary Magdalene's ministry
The Albigensian Crusade that killed hundreds of thousands of Cathars in France
The Goddess Isis, Egypt and the Priestess Path with Sheherazad Barnes
Saison 9 · Épisode 144
jeudi 25 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:03:20
Announcement: Enrollment is open for our Year-long Priestess Initiation Program: The Way of the Priestess Beginning this October:https://www.meredithrom.com/priestess
What a joy it was to sit down with Shehera Barnes to share about our journeys to Egypt with each other and learn more about her connection with the Goddess Isis.
Shehera grew up in Iran during a revolution, was connected to the divine from a young age, watching her grandmother pray and read the Qur'an to her.
She climbed the ladder of the fashion world but eventually left it all to devote herself fully to a path of healing and remembrance as a Priestess.
When Shehera learned about a Persian leader who destroyed many sacred artifacts and temples in Egypt, she knew she needed to bring souls back there to honor the Goddess, the temples and heal on behalf of her Persian ancestors.
Shehera is leading a group to Egypt this November 2 - 12 with a special ceremony on 11/11. She has a few spaces left! Join Shehera in Egypt and Use code MEREDITH111 to receive $111 off
In this episode we discussed:
Her connection to the divine from a young age growing up in a revolution in Iran
Her rise to the top in the fashion world, and why she let it all go for the Priestess path
Her connection to Isis and a beautiful story of being initiated into her love after the death of her father
Love and Intimacy Workshop with Meredith Rom
Saison 9 · Épisode 143
lundi 15 septembre 2025 • Durée 58:01
Enrollment is open for our Year-long Priestess Initiation Program: The Way of the Priestess Beginning this October: https://www.meredithrom.com/priestess
Each module in The Way of the Priestess Initiation program is guided by the energy of a goddess or ascended master guide. In the module on Love & Beauty we learn about the Egyptian goddess Hathor, and I shared this workshop on the essence of Love & Intimacy.
I speak about welcoming the energy of love into your life, calling in love and partnership specifically, as well as deepening the love and partnership that is already in your life. Hathor was an embodiment of the energy of Venus: all that is love, beauty, fertility, and creativity.
This episode provides a template for us to become a living vessel of love, infuse our lives and relationships with beauty and utilize the energy of relationships to evolve and grow spiritually on our path.
In this episode we discussed:
10 tips to welcome more love into your life: hint: it's a lot more about BECOMING the essence of love more than anything else…
10 tips to deepen the love and intimacy already in your life (and how to navigate the challenging moments)
A guided experience to connect with the womb + heart and the essence of love you're calling in
Priestess: a space-holder, leader of a movement, of highest service to the greater collective, a vessel for the divine, a living embodiment of love
Initiation: a series of ceremonies or rituals marking entrance into a new way of being
...The Lineage of the Rose...
The teachings in this program date back to the mystery schools in Egypt. We will be working with archetypal energies and ascended master guides such as Isis, Hathor, Sekhmet, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Yeshua among others.
We hope you enjoy this short meditation to connect with your highest self. This is a powerful practice to connect with your inner guide, ask any questions on your heart, and see what is revealed to you…

In Honor of Mary Magdalene
Saison 9 · Épisode 140
mardi 6 août 2024 • Durée 33:48
Have you ever felt judged by someone? Can you remember that pain of feeling misunderstood? Cast out? And separate?
Usually the people in judgement don't know the whole story. They don't know the truth of who we are or what we've been through. And usually the people who judge, are themselves in some kind of pain.
I imagine you can relate to that truly awful feeling, especially if you identify as highly sensitive. It's enough to make one want to attack back, or worse, go into hiding or shame.
I've been thinking of Mary Magdalene this week, as her Feast day approaches.
Eight years ago Pope Francis declared July 22 as a Feast Day for Mary Magdalene, honoring her role in Jesus' life as "The Apostle of the Apostles."
Many of you may know of her as she was named by the Catholic Church long ago - as a prostitute or whore. She was judged, and as what happened to many powerful women, her name was dragged through the mud.
But the truth is she was an absolute equal to Jesus in his ministry.
There came a time, in the first few centuries that the Bible was changed, and stories of powerful women were taken out of it.
And the Church didn't want people to think that Jesus was human - that he had a beloved, instead they wanted to portray him as this divine being that could only be accessed through the Church.
That way they could keep the power. So any stories depicting Jesus as a partner, a beloved, a lover and husband to Mary, were removed.
Powerful women were seen as a threat in her time. Women were mysterious - they carried the gifts of new life inside their bodies, it was something men were not capable of, or even fully understood.
When women joined together the men felt even more threatened (what is more powerful than a coven of women woven together by the same beliefs?)
So whether it was conscious/intentional or not, the women were systematically shamed.

Natasha's (sometimes controversial!) beliefs on biological femininity
Natasha Nazerali is a practitioner and educator who guides individuals to awaken their true power through spiritual and biological connections. Inspired by her holistic upbringing and the teachings of Dr.Hamer's 5 biological Laws, Natasha is dedicated to helping others achieve total sovereignty and freedom over their mind, body, and spirit. Through her work in family systems and biological relating, Natasha has realized the beauty in the harmonization of our unique ancestral lineage. As a spiritual seeker and student of life Natasha emphasizes the role of consciousness through her trainings at The College of Psychic Studies in the UK, and her incorporation of ancient practices.
Dakota Chanel is an ordained water priestess and ceremonialist with over a decade of experience. She specializes in water priestess arts, Magdalene mysteries, and sanctified sexuality. Dakota is the founder of Mermaids of the Magdalene Mysterium and the Water Priestess Mystery School. For the past eight years, she has been leading transformative retreats worldwide, focusing on water and Divine Mother teachings.

Her divine mission to bring souls to Egypt and restore the remembrance of the sacred feminine to heal on behalf of her ancestors
Sheherazad Barnes is a devoted spiritual guide, healer, and priestess of the sacred rose lineage of Isis, Mother Mary, and Mary Magdalene. As the author of the Awakening the Goddess Within oracle cards, she channels the wisdom of these divine feminine archetypes to guide women on a profound journey of remembrance helping them reclaim their sacred power, intuition, and sovereignty. Through her work, she bridges the mystical with the practical, offering powerful transmissions, rituals, and sacred teachings that illuminate the path of the modern priestess.
With a lifetime dedicated to service, prayer, and devotion, Shehera has cultivated a deep connection to the goddess and the ancient mysteries. Her teachings blend channeled activations, sound healing, goddess archetypes, alchemical practices, and ancient Egyptian wisdom, all designed to heal the feminine nervous system, activate spiritual gifts, and restore harmony between the cosmic and earthly realms. Drawing from initiatory lineages, she creates transformational spaces for women to heal generational wounds, embody their highest soul expression, and step into their divine mission with clarity and power. Shehera's work is a sanctuary for those who feel the sacred call to awaken, heal, and rise. Through immersive retreats, mentorship programs, and sacred ceremonies, she provides a space for deep healing and quantum expansion. Whether through her oracle deck, teachings, or guided transmissions, she invites women to reconnect with their inner temple, embrace the path of divine remembrance, and step into their full radiance.

First they shut down their power center - their womb - by shaming their sexuality.
Then their menstrual cycle was seen as dirty, a burden or a curse.
Bearing children, and giving birth was seen as a punishment.
The women were deemed inferior. A woman was confined to the home.
And sadly, when a woman shuts down in her womb center, she often shuts down her voice.
I believe Mary knew one day though that her name would be restored, that one day thousands of women would awaken and carry on her legacy, of being powerful and embracing that power, as teachers, guides, healers and claiming their place as part of a larger movement.
I believe she knew one day these women would reclaim the power of their menstrual cycle…
The holiness of conception, pregnancy and birth…
And through healing, would find their voice.
But not only that, I believe that she also holds the codes of forgiveness.
She reminds us to feel all the pain of the past, and to release judgement of others, even when we feel judged.
To remember that those who are causing pain are also in deep pain themselves.
I believe she had compassion for those who shamed her, dragged her name through the mud, even for those who wanted to persecute and kill her.
There's so much we can learn from Mary, and her embodiment.
I wanted to share one of the audio lessons in my program, The Way of the Priestess about her. This weekend, let's honor Mary, her sacred teachings and all she embodied.
Listen to this recording to learn more about the practice of feeling our pain, a forgiveness process, seeing sexuality as sacred, our bodies as temples and how to embody a consciousness of abundance.
Learn more about these practices in Mercedes Kirkel's channeled book, Mary Magdalene Beckons.
Below I'm including some of the podcasts we devoted to spreading her truth and message as well as information regarding the 2024-2025 Way of the Priestess Initiation Program.
With love, Meredith

CLAIM YOUR POWER AND VOICE
"Speaking to strangers has been one of my greatest fears that would often shut off my ability to be fully present and prevent me from making new connections with people. I dedicated a good portion of my life trying to overcome this fear by intentionally seeking out experiences that triggered this fear and this process was extremely difficult and the progress felt extremely slow.
After a few sessions with Meredith on healing my voice and the fears associated with that, I now find myself effortlessly interacting with strangers, making new connections and to my greatest surprise I am starting to enjoy mingling in large corporate settings, which would previously terrify me."
