098: The Body Knows: Unlocking the Power of Somatic Healing with Antonia Dolhaine
Season 1 · Episode 98
Tuesday, November 5, 2024 • Duration 43:35
Have you ever wondered how life's unexpected turns could lead you into a path of profound self-discovery and healing?
In this episode of Mystical Sisterhood, I sit down with Antonia Dolhaine, a former Cirque du Soleil acrobat turned Somatic Depth Coach. Their conversation offers an insightful exploration into Antonia's transformative journey and the unique perspective she brings to her coaching practice.
Rooted in her childhood experiences on Bone Island—a place where the very walls of her house served as her jungle gym—Antonia's story is one of resilience. She shares memories of an upbringing marked by frequent mobility and emotionally immature parents, which honed her survival instincts and later transformed into an ability to deeply attune to her environment and her clients' needs. Her story is a testament to how adverse experiences can become powerful tools for healing and growth when we learn to view them through a new lens.
The pandemic served as a pivotal moment for Antonia. An injury combined with the shutdown of entertainment left a void that she courageously filled with her innovative spirit. Thus, her coaching business was born—a venture she describes as initially accidental but later reveals its profound purpose as she embraced the natural flow of breath work and intentional conversation guiding her clients through personal transformations.
Antonia describes the beginnings of her coaching career as an organic development, where clients were drawn to the pre-and post-breathwork conversations they had with her. Despite her initial reluctance due to her own insecurities about coaching, she found this role enriched her and her clients’ lives, leading her to formalize her skills through certification and supervision.
A notable aspect of Antonia's philosophy is her connection with nature, which underscores her practice. She highlights that our bodies are part of the earth, governed by the same universal laws that guide the natural realms. Her work emphasizes reconnecting with these fundamental patterns to aid in healing and personal evolution. So much of her practice revolves around learning to attune to our physical selves, addressing nervous system dysregulation, and thereby finding peace and presence in our own bodies.
Antonia’s journey is a reminder of the profound power inherent in personal evolution. Encouragingly, she reinforces that the capacity for adaptation and growth lies within us all, shaped by an ingenious lineage of survival. To journey with her is an invitation to attune to your inner wisdom and embrace the inherent intelligence of your being.

097: Understanding Your Human Design Blueprint with Adriana Keefe
Season 1 · Episode 97
Wednesday, October 30, 2024 • Duration 44:10
What's your human design? The concept of human design is rapidly gaining attention as a tool for self-discovery and spiritual transformation. I have the pleasure of inviting Adriana Keefe, an intuitive human design expert, to join the Mystical Sisterhood podcast and delve into this fascinating topic. In our conversation, we explored how human design can help us understand our unique energy types, guide us through spiritual awakening, and offer practical applications for daily life.
Human design gives us more depth than traditional astrology by recognizing an additional level of body consciousness that is imprinted before birth. It helps align our physical self with our personality, offering richer insights into how we function best in the world.
Adriana and I agree that the journey of self-discovery and healing is deeply intertwined with mystical work. Viewing our life through the lens of curiosity rather than judgment allows us to discover our authentic selves. This perspective fosters gratitude, enabling us to recognize how our experiences shape us and how we can use them to grow.g
Adriana emphasized the importance of integrating emotional intelligence into the practice of human design. She found that it can be challenging to connect with our intuitive authority if we haven't addressed underlying emotional trauma. Her approach combines human design with nervous system regulation and healing, providing a holistic framework for transformation.
Exploring human design offers a profound opportunity to understand our unique energetic blueprints. It empowers us to embrace our true selves, heal past wounds, and align with our life's purpose. For those intrigued by the possibility of deeper self-understanding and transformation, human design might just be the key to your mystical awakening.

088: Navigating the Winds of Change: Embracing Spiritual Practices During Life's Transitions
Season 1 · Episode 88
Wednesday, August 28, 2024 • Duration 20:56
Have you ever heard it said that the only constant in life is change? If you ask me, it's so true. I see it in my own life and countless others around me. Join me in this episode as I journey into the land of the empty nest (or free bird, as one of my sisters prefers to call it) and discuss how spiritual practices are supporting me through these changes, as well as providing support for my friends and family members.
This upcoming time of change has been greatly guided by my spiritual practices. Forming such practices and rituals has overturned many of my past beliefs. This has been supported through coaching programs, therapy, reading, and a commitment to myself. One of the earliest premises of Mystical Sisterhood was that joy and healing can coexist in the same space. This principle holds true for the change I’m going through now, combining joy, celebration, healing, and moments of emotional difficulty.
This place in my life, as my kids are leaving the nest, brings a shift in energy, quietness, stillness, and a slower pace. The emotions are real and shared among us. Moms and women, cultured to nurture others, often overlook their own growth. This experience has given me the gift of self-compassion and self-care, enriched by the practices and beliefs I’ve developed.
As I reflect on my journey and prepare for the changes ahead, I hold deep appreciation and celebration for all it encompasses. Whether you're going through change yourself or supporting loved ones, take care of yourself and reach out if you need support. I'm here for you, offering workshops, creative gatherings, and a space of love and understanding. We are in this life together, and our shared experiences make us stronger.
Thank you for being with me on this journey. If you feel a desire to dive deeper into self-exploration, join me for one of my upcoming events. Let's embrace change and new beginnings together.

087: The Journey of Becoming Embodied with Casey Berglund
Season 1 · Episode 87
Wednesday, August 21, 2024 • Duration 39:11
Are you ready to embody your truest self? To learn what it means to read your body’s signals, get comfortable with the sensations of your emotion, and move into to high relationship with your body?
In this week’s episode of Mystical Sisterhood, I’m joined by the insightful and inspiring Casey Berglund, a TEDx speaker, podcaster, founder of Worthy and Well, and co-author of "The Mind Body Way: The Embodied Leader's Path to Resilience, Connection, and Purpose." Casey specializes in helping individuals reconnect with their bodies and their true selves through her unique teachings on embodiment. Whether you’ve been feeling disconnected or are curious about how to deepen your relationship with your body, this conversation is for you.
Casey discusses how her embodiment practices influence not just her personal life but also her professional life and the lives of her clients. By attuning to the body's sensations and emotional experiences, we can unlock deep wisdom and navigate our paths with greater clarity and confidence.
For those new to the concept of embodiment, Casey offers practical advice, and she introduces her B.O.D.Y. acronym as a simple tool to begin this journey:
- Breathe: Become aware of your breath.
- Observe: Notice the sensations in your body.
- Delay: Don’t rush to fix; just feel.
- Say Yes: Listen to your body’s wisdom and act upon it.
Through her work, Casey has seen how reconnecting with the body can lead to transformative changes beyond diet and physical health. Clients have ended unhealthy relationships, started businesses, and connected with their deeper purposes by following her embodiment teachings.
This episode is a rich exploration of how reconnecting with our bodies can lead to a more authentic, purposeful, and fulfilling life. Whether you are new to the concept of embodiment or looking to deepen your practice, Casey Berglund’s insights offer a valuable guide to starting or continuing your journey.
086: Embracing the Magic Within with Heather Hanson
Season 1 · Episode 86
Wednesday, August 14, 2024 • Duration 53:40
Are you ready to step into your true self and embrace the divine guidance within you?
If you're a lover of all things magical and mystical, you're in for a treat! In this episode, we dive into an enriching conversation with Heather Hanson, a Magical Mentor and Founder of the Creative Sage Cottage in Union Pier, Michigan. Heather first joined the Mystical Sisterhood podcast on Episode 18, and now she’s back for another deep and inspirational discussion.
We reflect on the transition from summer to autumn, discussing the invitation to rest, reflect, and prepare for the next phase of growth. Heather eloquently describes how we should allow excess and unneeded elements to fall away, much like autumn leaves, to make space for what truly matters.
The conversation shifts to the theme of divine awareness and personal evolution. Heather shares her journey of allowing herself to truly know that divine guidance speaks through all of us. She emphasizes the importance of trusting our intuition and not allowing external voices to override our inner wisdom.
Heather stresses the importance of maintaining a sense of wonder and curiosity. She uses the metaphor of a child marveling at a pile of rocks to illustrate how we should approach life—with an uninhibited sense of discovery and awe.
As we wrap up, Heather reminds us that divine guidance will always meet us where we are. We don’t need to be anything other than our true selves to be perfect in the eyes of the divine. Maureen and Heather also announce an exciting upcoming event—a workshop for the fall equinox and new moon in early October, where participants will create their own Wisdom Keeper Dolls, charged with personal intentions.
Join Us for a Magical Experience!
Mark your calendars for October 3rd and get ready to dive into a soulful, creative experience with Maureen and Heather. Participants will receive a kit filled with unique materials to craft their own Wisdom Keeper Dolls.

Season 1 · Episode 85
Wednesday, August 7, 2024 • Duration 31:02
Have you ever felt the profound power of your heart and wondered about its deeper significance in your life?
Today, we explore the connection between the heart and the powerful Lionsgate portal, an event that opens every year in late July to mid August, peaking on August 8th. This celestial event aligns perfectly with the rising of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, presenting an ideal opportunity to delve into our heart's wisdom.
According to www.sagegoddess.com, the Lion’s Gate Portal activates significant star power energy. This aligns with Sirius rising, visible just before sunrise above the eastern horizon. Though not an expert, my fascination with these topics encourages perpetual learning and discovery, often diving into deep rabbit holes.
The heart plays a pivotal role in our lives; not just in our physical form, but emotionally and spiritually as well. For most of my life, I utilized my mind as the ultimate decision maker. Through my learnings and study, I now realize that balancing my mind with my heart is criticall. Receptivity and allowing our hearts to lead have become part of my daily intention setting. How does this resonate with you?
Join me today in exploring fascinating truths about the heart and how we can leverage them during the Lion’s Gate Portal. How often do you consider your heart a powerful emotional and spiritual center? Reflecting on this can offer new meaning and depth to our experiences!
Listen in to re-discover and re-member the brilliance within you, and embrace the powerful transformation the 2024 Lion’s Gate Portal brings. From my heart to yours, thank you for joining me today!

084: Exploring the Intuitive Power of Dreams with Leah Bolen
Season 1 · Episode 84
Wednesday, July 31, 2024 • Duration 51:06
Are you captivated by the mysteries of your dreams? Do you wish you could recall and understand your dreams better? If so, you are not alone.
Join me and integrative adult sleep coach and certified dream work practitioner, Leah Ann Bolen, as we delve into how our dreams support us in processing our waking lives and provide hope even for the most restless of sleepers.
Leah shares how her dream life started manifesting during her early corporate years. Ambitious and eager to climb the corporate ladder, she faced sleep challenges such as insomnia, sleep paralysis, and night terrors. Unsatisfied with traditional "fortune cookie dream analysis," Leah sought real, deeper understanding of her dreams. She began to notice synchronicities between her dreams and waking life, leading her to study dream work theory and practice under skilled mentors.
Leah explains that while people often seek straightforward interpretations of their dreams, the true power lies in the exploration. By examining their dreams with guidance, individuals uncover personal meanings that resonate deeply with their experiences. Leah sees herself as more of a guide, helping people unlock the inner wisdom contained in their dreams.
Beyond the metaphysical, Leah emphasizes the importance of nurturing the physical aspect of sleep. Society's wake-centric mindset often leads us to dismiss sleep, despite its critical role in our well-being. Leah talks about how our body's innate mechanisms need proper sleep, free from the influence of pills or supplements.
Leah emphasizes the importance of intention and practice in remembering dreams. She suggests keeping a dream journal by your bedside and taking a few moments upon waking to recall and jot down your dreams. This practice signals to your subconscious mind that you value your dream life.

083: The Secret of Conscious Parenting: Connection to Yourself with Jenn Wert
Season 1 · Episode 83
Wednesday, July 24, 2024 • Duration 41:57
Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed with the challenges of modern parenting? From navigating technology to raising children in a post-pandemic world, today's parents face unique hurdles never before encountered.
Fortunately, the concept of conscious parenting, or what Jenn Wert calls "connected parenting," offers a refreshing approach to tackling these challenges. In this week’s episode, we'll explore a compelling conversation about parenting, diving into the core tenets of connected parenting and how it can transform your relationship with your children.
Jenn Wert, an expert in social and emotional intelligence, has dedicated herself to helping parents lead with connection, curiosity, and emotional regulation. Her journey began at a young age, recognizing her own highly sensitive nature and translating that understanding into her work as a mother, educator, speaker, and parent coach.
We touch on the growing recognition of highly sensitive individuals, especially children. Jenn explains, "It's the background music of every moment... I think it started when I was very, very young." This sensitivity, Jenn argues, should be seen as a gift rather than a burden. "First, I would like for the curiosity and the exploration with parents and teachers working with children, for them first to intervene in ways you would with a highly sensitive child," she advises.
Jenn's message is empowering: "You are encoded with all the answers you need." Conscious parenting isn't about achieving perfection. It's about the ongoing journey of self-discovery and attunement to our children's needs. By fostering a sense of connection, practicing self-care, and seeking support when needed, we can navigate the complexities of modern parenting with grace and intention.

082: Embracing Intentions and New Perspectives on the Journey of Self-Discovery
Season 1 · Episode 82
Wednesday, July 17, 2024 • Duration 21:32
Have you ever felt like life is a constant whirlwind, pushing you in all directions with little time to catch your breath?
Life can feel pretty crazy sometimes, don't you think? It’s constantly moving, bringing us experiences to learn and grow from. Often, we feel powerless or stuck in a repetitive cycle, but the constant factor in all this chaos is ourselves. We are here to grow, experience joy, and have fun.
In today’s episode, I want to explore the power of setting intentions and adopting new perspectives to assist you on your journey.
Setting intentions allows us to direct our lives toward what we want to experience. A few beginning thoughts that capture this idea involve overturning what we once thought or looking more deeply at the ways we were conditioned and what there is to let go of or move on from. It’s a time of rapid expansion for those who want to connect with themselves fully.
Take a quiet moment today, perhaps right now, to sit with a notebook or journal. Ask yourself, with the support of the universe, what intentions you want to set. Whether they are physical actions or qualities you wish to embody, writing them down can set powerful changes in motion.
When you commit to setting intentions and embracing new perspectives, you transform from within. This transformation allows you to trust yourself and your path, taking responsibility for your life choices. Remember to be patient with yourself and surround yourself with like-minded individuals. Take note of how life assists you in your growth, and watch as your experiences begin to change in beautiful ways.

081: How to Create an Authentic & Supportive Connection with Your Angels & Spirit Guides with Valerie Wood
Season 1 · Episode 81
Wednesday, July 10, 2024 • Duration 49:08
Are you curious about how angels and spirit guides surround you and are here to support you? How synchronicities, or what we often call coincidences, are meaningful signs from the universe? If these questions intrigue you, then you're in for a treat. In this episode of Mystical Sisterhood, I sit down with angel channeler and medium Valerie Wood, who shares wisdom and knowledge from over 20 years of working with clients.
Valerie discusses the common misunderstandings people have about their spiritual guides. She clarifies that angels have never been human but can take human form. On the other hand, spirit guides have had human experience and can be friends or family you have known in past lives.
Connecting with your spiritual guides is not just about surface-level comfort but can provide genuine emotional and practical support. Valerie shares examples of how different types of angels can aid you based on their specific qualities, like a "numbers angel" for data work or "earthy angels" for those connected to nature.
Discussing the sensitive topic of death, Valerie shares her experiences helping clients dealing with terminal illnesses or those who have lost loved ones. She also underscores the importance of paying attention to the subtle signs and messages from the universe. These synchronicities are often guiding you towards something meaningful. By being curious and open, you can uncover valuable insights and opportunities.
Valerie Wood’s unique perspective on angels, spirit guides, and synchronicities provides a refreshing and comforting take on spirituality. By exploring these concepts and forming your own connections, you can experience tremendous support and guidance in your everyday life.
