| 098: The Body Knows: Unlocking the Power of Somatic Healing with Antonia Dolhaine | 05 Nov 2024 | 00:43:35 | |
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. We talk about:

| 097: Understanding Your Human Design Blueprint with Adriana Keefe | 30 Oct 2024 | 00:44:10 | |
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. We talk about:

| 088: Navigating the Winds of Change: Embracing Spiritual Practices During Life's Transitions | 28 Aug 2024 | 00:20:56 | |
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 | 21 Aug 2024 | 00:39:11 | |
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. Join us in celebrating the wisdom of the body and the incredible potential that lies within us all.

| 086: Embracing the Magic Within with Heather Hanson | 14 Aug 2024 | 00:53:40 | |
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. This workshop promises to be a beautiful gathering of energies, fostering personal growth and divine connection.

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.

| 084: Exploring the Intuitive Power of Dreams with Leah Bolen | 31 Jul 2024 | 00:51:06 | |
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. We talk about:

| 083: The Secret of Conscious Parenting: Connection to Yourself with Jenn Wert | 24 Jul 2024 | 00:41:57 | |
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. We talk about:

| 082: Embracing Intentions and New Perspectives on the Journey of Self-Discovery | 17 Jul 2024 | 00:21:32 | |
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. We talk about:

| 081: How to Create an Authentic & Supportive Connection with Your Angels & Spirit Guides with Valerie Wood | 10 Jul 2024 | 00:49:08 | |
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. We talk about:

| 080: Your Soul’s Connection to Financial Flow with Alicia Isaacs Howes | 03 Jul 2024 | 00:52:06 | |
How would you describe your relationship to financial flow? Is it filled with ease and grace? Anything but ease and grace? Or somewhere in between? These questions are at the heart of our discussion in Episode 80 of Mystical Sisterhood, where our guest, Alicia Isaacs Howes, dives deeply into our connections with financial abundance and spiritual prosperity. Today's episode invites you to consider your relationship with financial abundance. Alicia Isaacs Howes is no stranger to Mystical Sisterhood, and her wisdom draws from decades of experience in soul connection and the Akashic Records. We explore what supports you on your journey to financial abundance, and Alicia offers clear, channeled guidance on the insights we most need to know. Alicia Isaacs Howes hails from England and specializes in soul connection and the Akashic Records. She is the founder of YourSoulStory.com and the creator of the ReRoot Process. Over more than two decades, Alicia has been working to help others connect deeply with their soul and the universe. Her extensive experience brings profound wisdom to our conversations. In our discussion, Alicia reframes money as a form of energy and blessings from the divine. By working with women, particularly those in business, Alicia helps them restore their original codes and align with the infinite flow of divine energy. The conversation highlights the importance of allowing money to flow through us, reflecting our relationship with source. Alicia paints a transformative picture of society and culture when women achieve financial abundance. As women embrace their worth and gifts, they elevate themselves and others around them. This shift dissolves the paradigm of suffering and sacrifice, fostering a world where joy, peace, and prosperity are accessible to all. Alicia explains the concept of money ceilings—energetic caps on how much money we can receive and hold. By addressing the knots in our divine flow, we can expand our capacity to receive and hold more abundance. Recognizing and working through these blocks is essential for achieving financial flow and stability. The discussion emphasizes the importance of embracing our gifts and overcoming blocks that prevent us from fully stepping into our purpose. By letting go of societal conditioning and trusting in our divine connection, we can create businesses and lives that align with our true selves. The power of community and support is a recurring theme in our conversation. Women holding each other in a space of intimacy and support creates an environment where we can all rise together. By seeing and supporting each other, we break barriers and create a world of infinite possibilities. Our journey with Alicia Isaacs Howes in Episode 80 of Mystical Sisterhood brings invaluable wisdom and practical guidance. Her teachings on abundance, empowerment, and spiritual prosperity inspire us to embrace our gifts, overcome our blocks, and create lives filled with joy, peace, and financial flow. We talk about:

| 079: Facing Our Fears, Embracing Our Lives, & Creating Miracles with Tama Kieves | 26 Jun 2024 | 00:52:41 | |
What if you could see your life through the lens of a miracle and trust that your unique light is needed in the world? Imagine dissolving your fears and living out your fullest expression. This was the theme at the heart of an enlightening conversation I recently had with Tama Kieves on Mystical Sisterhood. Tama, a former Harvard-educated lawyer turned visionary and success coach, shared her profound journey from the courtroom to the world of spiritual guidance and coaching. This episode was full of wisdom, inspiration, and practical advice for anyone seeking to unlock their own potential and live a life guided by their inner voice. One of the most compelling aspects of our conversation was Tama's approach to fear and uncertainty. She emphasizes that encountering fear is not a sign that something is wrong, but a part of the healing process: “Feeling fear doesn’t mean things aren’t working out. Sometimes the bigger the dreams, the louder your fears.” Through her book "A Year Without Fear," Tama provides a daily guide to shifting mindsets and embracing courage. She encourages us to redefine our relationship with fear, viewing it as an integral part of our growth rather than a barrier. Tama has developed tools to help people shift their internal narratives, understanding that the stories we tell ourselves often dictate our reality. She offers a free tool called the Story Shifting Magic Process, which helps individuals reframe their stories — a vital practice for anyone wanting to tap into their deeper potential. In a world filled with noise and conventional wisdom, Tama's message is a call to inner authenticity and trust. Whether you're pursuing career changes, creative endeavors, or simply trying to live more authentically, her advice is clear: listen to that voice of genius within you and trust it to guide you. Our conversation with Tama Keeves was a vivid reminder that our inner light is not only necessary but imperative. By dissolving our fears, embracing uncertainty, and listening to our inner voice, we can live lives rich with meaning and purpose. We talk about:

| 096: How to Talk to Angels and Develop a Deeper Angelic Connection with Arianna Messplay | 23 Oct 2024 | 00:55:44 | |
Have you ever felt an unseen presence guiding you through life's challenges, or perhaps sensed a comfort in moments of solitude? In this episode of Mystical Sisterhood, Arianna Messplay joins me to discuss her journey as an angelic healer, intuitive counselor, and an advocate for spiritual connections to explore how we can foster our relationship with angels and understand their role in our lives. Arianna explains that angels are present to guide, protect, and help us stay on our life path. Whether it’s guiding individuals through personal challenges or assisting transitions, such as births and deaths, their presence is comforting and supportive. Clarifying the distinctions among angels, spirit guides, and loved ones who have passed, Arianna shares her channeling experiences. Some souls choose to become part of the angel or spirit guide realm, while others serve as guiding spirits without taking on those roles. We discuss how people often overlook angelic signs due to self-doubt. Arianna encourages individuals to listen to their intuition, elevate their frequency, and trust in the messages received from the angelic realm. Arianna also shares how Angel numbers, like 111 or 222, often serve as signs from the angels. Arianna suggests paying attention to recurring numbers and their personal significance, using these as a guide to understanding angelic messages tailored specifically for us. If you are curious about exploring your own angelic connections or seeking spiritual insight, reflect on how these unseen guides might already be present and actively seek to communicate with you.

| 078: A Conscious Conversation at Midlife: Intention, Devotion & Your Higher Self with Zeenath Ansari Selvakumar | 19 Jun 2024 | 00:45:09 | |
Are you searching for a deeper connection in your conversations and relationships? Today, we dive into a transformative dialogue about the essence of conscious conversations and what it truly means to embrace a mystical sisterhood. Conscious conversations are at the heart of what I consider mystical sisterhood to be. What does a truly fulfilling conversation feel like? To me, it's profoundly soul-fulfilling. It's a conversation where I feel seen and heard, and we talk about what really matters in life—a feeling I walk away with that invites me back for more. Today, Zeenath Ansari Selvakumar joins me for this enriching conversation, and we delve into the world of women at midlife. We explore deep self-care that feels truly honoring, a profound way of putting ourselves first to thrive and shine. So, sit back and join us in the episode. Zeenath acknowledges the importance of feeling how we are guided through life. "I've always felt an internal guidance," she shares, noting that her cultural and religious background provided a foundation but her true north came from within. In her teenage years, people often came to her for comfort, indicating her innate capability to connect and heal. Zeenath speaks about the many roles she juggles, balancing her corporate job, being a yoga instructor, a breathwork practitioner, and managing a family. Despite these responsibilities, she remains committed to living an aligned, higher-conscious life. This journey, while filled with challenges, leads to deeper self-discovery and soul connection. Our discussion transitions to the topic of midlife—the phase where many women are balancing multiple roles while experiencing significant changes within themselves. Zeenath highlights the need for deep self-care and intentional practices, such as meditation and breathwork, to navigate this transformative period. Remember, the journey towards higher consciousness and self-discovery is a continuous process. Surround yourself with positive influences and remain curious about your inner world. For those interested in furthering this journey, Zeenath offers meditation, breathwork, and coaching services to help individuals explore their true selves. We talk about:

When you think of your close relationships, what are your biggest challenges? Are you looking to improve your communication skills or find other ways to grow? If so, you're in the right place today. Join us in this enlightening conversation with Dr. Marcy Cole, a holistic psychotherapist and personal development and relationship coach. Dr. Cole has contributed to publications such as Goop and Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper and participated in two bestselling anthologies. One of the core themes in Dr. Cole’s work is connectivity. Whether it’s individual therapy, couples counseling, or community work like her First Tuesdays project, the focus is on connection. One term Dr. Cole uses is "Interpersonal IQ," which blends emotional intelligence with communication. It’s about how we feel and how we express those feelings. The words, framing, and timing all matter. Given the current global environment, families face numerous challenges. Dr. Cole emphasized the importance of mindfulness for parents. Being present and grounded allows parents to better support their children. As we draw our conversation to a close, it’s clear that Dr. Marcy Cole’s work in relationships, personal growth, and community engagement is a guiding light for many. Her holistic approach encourages us to seek deeper connections within ourselves and with others. Dr. Cole’s advice to those contemplating a career pivot or personal growth is profound: “Stay true to yourself. Life is ever-changing, and it’s okay to explore and pivot. The key is to remain connected to your truth.” Dr. Cole’s initiatives and wisdom remind us of the importance of connection. Whether through structured morning practices or revolutionary SEL programs in schools, we are encouraged to transform and enrich our lives continually. We talk about:

| 076: Living a Spiritually Abundant Life with Joseph Argazzi | 05 Jun 2024 | 01:03:53 | |
Have you ever wondered what a life filled with inner safety, compassion, loving kindness, and understanding for oneself looks like? In this episode, we revisit a deeply insightful conversation with Joseph Argazzi (Joe), a spiritual counselor, and recovery specialist. Throughout the episode, Joe shares his practices, principles, and lived wisdom on achieving a life of spiritual well-being. Join us as we delve into Joe’s journey and his teachings on assuming radical responsibility for our lives and surrendering to the infinite possibilities that await us. One of the core themes of our conversation with Joe revolves around shifting from a victim mentality to an empowered mindset. Joe shares his journey of realizing that life isn't something happening to him but for him. Even in the most painful circumstances, he learned to see the universe's hand in guiding him towards growth and self-expansion. Joe recounts his experiences of discovering new spiritual insights, sharing these with others, and watching his consciousness evolve over the years. This shift—from seeing life as a series of misfortunes to recognizing it as an intricate plan for personal growth—has radically transformed Joe's life. A powerful takeaway from Joe’s teachings is the practice of radical acceptance. Embracing what is, without resistance or judgment, creates an opening for divine intelligence and creativity to flow through us. This acceptance paradoxically enables change and growth, providing a sense of peace and alignment with our true selves. This conversation with Joe Argazzi highlights the profound impact of compassion, self-understanding, and spiritual practice in living a fulfilled life. By embracing our emotions as messengers, transitioning from victim mentality to empowerment, and surrendering to the universe’s infinite possibilities, we can cultivate a life of internal safety and loving kindness.

| 075: Healing the Root Cause of Illness Using Functional Medicine with Dr. Jill Carnahan | 29 May 2024 | 00:38:59 | |
Have you ever wondered how personal challenges could potentially alter and define a professional journey? In the latest episode of Mystical Sisterhood, I sit down with Dr. Jill Carnahan, a leading voice in functional medicine who has transformed her personal battles into a wellspring of inspiration and knowledge for many. Dr. Jill's story is a testament to human resilience, hope, and the confluence of science and faith. Dive into our conversation as we explore her profound narrative that combines battling aggressive breast cancer, embracing functional medicine, and realizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. For many, the concept of functional medicine may seem like an abstract, fringe area of health. However, Dr. Jill provides illuminating insights into this growing field. Functional medicine, she explains, involves delving into the 'why' behind a disease, rather than simply managing symptoms. It aims to identify and address the root causes of illness, looking at the complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Autoimmune diseases and gut issues are on the rise globally. Dr. Jill breaks down this complex topic, unraveling how environmental triggers, genetics, and gut health can contribute to such conditions. She stresses the importance of addressing gut health to calm the immune response, a critical step in managing autoimmune diseases. For those navigating their health journey, Dr. Jill’s advice is clear: trust your intuition, seek holistic approaches, and empower yourself with knowledge. Her dedication to her patients and her unwavering faith serve as an inspiring lesson that, even in the face of adversity, one can find resilience and hope. If you are facing health challenges or simply seeking to improve your wellbeing, Dr. Jill's story and approach might just provide the motivation you need to start on a transformative path. Remember, healing is possible, and often, the journey of suffering can lead to unexpected revelations and resilience. We talk about:

| 071: Vibrational Alignment, Energy, and Intuition with Laura O'Malley | 01 May 2024 | 01:02:46 | |
In a world that constantly oscillates between skepticism and belief, the mystical realm offers an intriguing blend of magic, energy, and pure consciousness that captivates the seeker in all of us. This fascination was at the heart of an enlightening conversation with Laura O'Malley, a spiritual intuitive and psychic channel. The conversation dives deep into the essence of vibrational alignment, discussing the physical and spiritual sensations that accompany both harmony and discord in one’s energy field. Laura shared her insights on the significance of intention and the profound impact of meeting energy with energy, emphasizing the transformative power of understanding and tuning into one's vibrational state. Laura shed light on an intriguing shift in consciousness, highlighting the unique vibrational signatures of younger generations. She spoke about these individuals as "different human beings" who are bringing about planetary shifts, simply by existing in a more open, seeking state than those before them. This narrative not only acknowledges the evolving human consciousness but champions the role of emerging generations in fostering widespread spiritual awakening. In exploring what mysticism means to Laura, the discussion unveiled a perception of the mystical as not just an exploration of the unknown but as a reconnection to the omnipresent magic of the world. Laura's perspective turns the mystical into something tangible, accessible, and inherently linked to the essence of happiness and joy. This redefinition of mysticism underlines the potential for an enriched, vibrant experience of life that is available to everyone, not just those who identify as spiritually inclined. Highlighting the concept of emotional guidance, Laura explained how every emotional response serves as direct feedback from our higher selves regarding our alignment with our true nature. This perspective offers a liberating view of emotions as indicators and guides rather than obstacles, encouraging individuals to engage more consciously with their emotional landscape. We talk about:

| 070: Shining a Light on Feminine Wisdom in Business with Tirzah Shirai | 24 Apr 2024 | 00:54:49 | |
In this episode of the Mystical Sisterhood Podcast, I welcome Tirzah Shirai, the visionary founder of the Venusian School of Business, for an enriching discussion. Their conversation spanned from creating heart and soul-centered businesses to balancing feminine and masculine energies in entrepreneurship. At the core of the Venusian School of Business is the principle of heart and soul-centered entrepreneurship. Tirzah and her school advocate for a business model that transcends traditional profit-driven motives, instead centering on creating value that enriches the community and the individual spiritually and emotionally. This approach challenges entrepreneurs to align their ventures with their deeper purpose and to contribute positively to the wider world. A significant portion of the discussion revolved around harmonizing feminine and masculine energies within the business landscape. Tirzah brought forward the idea that contemporary business practices have been dominantly masculine, focusing on competition, aggression, and logic. However, she suggests that integrating feminine qualities such as intuition, empathy, and collaboration can lead to a more sustainable and fulfilling entrepreneurial journey. One of the most captivating aspects of their conversation was the application of ancient wisdom to modern business practices. Tirzah shared how teachings from the ancient mystery schools are more relevant today than ever before, especially as humanity grapples with accelerated changes in society and technology. Embracing these age-old teachings can help entrepreneurs navigate their paths with more grace, wisdom, and effectiveness. We touch upon the challenges and opportunities presented by the digital age for entrepreneurs. The overwhelming influx of information can lead to a superficial understanding and application of knowledge. However, by grounding oneself in the wisdom of ancient practices and focusing on meaningful, purpose-driven action, entrepreneurs can rise above the noise and make a genuine impact. We talk about:

| 069: The Essence of Change, Stepping into Your Light, Self-Compassion and Community with Suzi Lula | 17 Apr 2024 | 01:06:32 | |
In a world that often feels teetering on the precipice of transformation, women are increasingly called upon to navigate the shifting paradigms with grace and bravery. In a profound conversation with Suzi Lula, we go deep into the themes of change, worthiness, and the pivotal role of compassion and community in our personal and collective evolution. Our collective culture is undergoing a significant transformation, inviting women to play a leading role in ushering in a new era. Suzi's wisdom invites us to explore what we're called to release to make space for an unabashed claim to our presence in the world. One of the foundational elements highlighted in this enriching discussion is the profound impact of self-compassion. In our journey toward self-realization and empowerment, the practice of self-compassion emerges as a transformative force. Cultivating compassion for oneself, acknowledging the struggles and embracing them with understanding, creates an internal environment of safety and acceptance. It's a nurturing soil from which confidence and courage can bloom, allowing us to take up space and pursue our aspirations with unwavering conviction. As we journey along our paths of personal growth and transformation, the role of community cannot be overstated. Community offers a mirror reflecting our shared humanity, struggles, and triumphs. It provides a space of belonging, where we're reminded that we're not solitary islands navigating the vast ocean of life alone. In community, we find the precious opportunity to be seen, heard, and supported unconditionally. The Mystical Sisterhood and the Soul Care community are testament to the profound connections and expansions possible when individuals come together, united in their pursuit of growth and healing. Each conversation in the podcast is a reminder of the uniqueness of every individual's journey. Whether stepping into a new career, nurturing relationships, or embarking on a spiritual quest, the insights from Suzi Lula and the Mystical Sisterhood podcast illuminate the path. They encourage us to embrace our authentic selves, to shine our unique light with confidence, and to remember the importance of tending to our soul's needs alongside our worldly endeavors.

The alignment of soul mission with podcast content has been as enlightening for me as, I hope, it has been for you, our listeners. Today's world demands innovative solutions and perspectives, and perhaps the mystical can offer some answers. It's not merely relegated to "woo-woo" corners, but a valid exploration of ancient wisdom that's increasingly relevant. Why do such conversations captivate us? Perhaps because they resonate as truth within the fabric of our being. As I continue this journey, I urge you to reflect on your mystical path. When did your interest first spark?

| 068: Cultivating Deeper Self-Care and Inner Transformation | 10 Apr 2024 | 00:30:14 | |
In this episode, I invite you to join me in reflecting on the recent interviews and trends that have been unfolding in the world of Mystical Sisterhood. From messages channeled by intuitives and healers to courageous souls sharing their wisdom, each conversation is crafted to seed new ideas and insights for your personal evolution. Now more than ever, we are called to deepen our practices of self-care, self-awareness, and inner reflection. It is a time to honor the patterns and belief systems that no longer serve us, and to embrace the possibilities of personal transformation. Through the practice of self-care, we can uncover the answers and insights needed to navigate our journey towards growth and fulfillment. One of the key trends we explore in Mystical Sisterhood is the importance of rituals in our daily lives. Rituals not only bring a sense of rhythm and intentionality but also infuse our actions with sacredness and meaning. Whether it's a simple tea ceremony or a daily journaling practice, rituals can elevate our daily experiences and deepen our connection to ourselves. Another trend we delve into is the innate intuition that resides within each of us. By tapping into our intuitive guidance, we can access a limitless source of wisdom and clarity, guiding us on our path towards self-discovery and empowerment. Embracing our intuition allows us to navigate life with a deeper sense of purpose and authenticity. As we navigate the ebb and flow of life, finding a rhythm in our self-care practices can be a transformative journey. Whether you have established daily rituals or are still exploring ways to nurture your soul, remember to be gentle with yourself. Self-care is a deeply personal and evolving process, and each moment of self-reflection brings us closer to our true essence. I invite you to explore the realms of self-care, personal growth, and spiritual evolution with an open heart and a curious mind. As we embark on this journey together, may you find solace in the stillness within, and may you embrace the transformative power of self-discovery and inner reflection. We talk about:

| 065: Spiritual Evolution and Divine Femininity with Julie Piatt (SriMati) | 20 Mar 2024 | 01:01:00 | |
In an era where the quest for spiritual identity and evolution becomes increasingly paramount, this episode invites us into a profound dialogue about the essence of divine femininity, spiritual awakening, and the transformative power of recognizing ourselves as sacred beings with the remarkable Julie Piatt. She delves into these themes with depth, vulnerability, and a luminous sense of clarity that beckons listeners to explore the more expansive vistas of their own spiritual journey. Julie, a mystic, mother, musician, artist, chef, author, and healer, graces the podcast with her radiant presence, sharing insights from a life immersed in devotion and expansive creativity. She embodies the living bridge between spirituality and daily living, illustrating that divinity can be woven through every aspect of our existence. In our conversation, Julie sheds light on what it means to live mystically in modern times—highlighting a path that embraces meaning, reverence, and devotion in all life's experiences. At the heart of this episode lies the understanding that the feminine, regardless of gender, is a source of boundless creativity and life-giving power. Julie articulates the feminine as eternally creating, a force that never ceases to bring forth life, beauty, and transformation. This is seen not only in the biological capacity to give birth but in the countless ways the feminine enriches the world through art, music, wisdom, and nurturing. Another gem from the episode revolves around the power of ritual in daily life. Julie shares deeply personal experiences, including the sacred ritual at her father's passing, which underscore the potential of rituals to transform ordinary moments into profound spiritual encounters. Through her narrative, listeners are invited to explore and embrace their rituals, fostering a deeper connection to themselves, their loved ones, and the divine essence that permeates all of life. Our conversation is an invitation—an invitation to step into our power, to reclaim our sacredness, and to participate actively in the evolution of consciousness on this planet. It calls on us to embrace our inner mystics, to see the divine in the mundane, and to contribute our unique vibrations to the tapestry of life. We talk about:

| 064: Mystical Sisterhood Roundtable: A Discussion of Spirituality, Collaboration, and Trust | 13 Mar 2024 | 01:08:47 | |
In this episode of the Mystical Sisterhood podcast, Alicia Isaacs Howes, Valerie Wood, and Heather Hanson join me to explore the intricacies of spirituality, healing, and trust. We get into the fascinating world of human and mystic recollections, and discuss our journeys toward enlightenment. Several topics are discussed during the roundtable discussion, from the importance of discerning truth from fiction to navigating our past and future spiritual lives. We delve into the importance of collaboration instead of competition and the roles they each play in the collective spiritual ascension. The guests collectively affirm the importance of utilizing curiosity as a medium to navigate complicated feelings. Duality, wonder, and faith become recurring themes. It's a conversation that guards the mystery of the divine and nourishes listeners with the wonders of spirituality. The guests share a common belief - the importance of self-discovery and faith. Valerie emphasizes the power of transformation, aligning our desires with the greater good and involving others in our growth process. Likewise, Heather asserts that the conception of mystic lies in incorporating the Divine into our everyday lives, thus realizing oneself as a channel or conduit for the divine connection. As our unique lives intertwine in this collective consciousness, the roundtable participants conclude that we must hold both our individual experiences and our shared societal ones. This paradox of existence is what allows us to resonate with the concept of ‘mystical sisterhood,’ an acknowledgment of both the collective and the individual's power. We offer a simple yet profound take-home: the power in your authenticity and in standing firm amidst societal norms. It encourages listeners to embrace the discomfort of growth, believing that the process, no matter how grueling, is liberating. We help you embrace and understand the realms of spirituality, healing, and trust, teaching us that we are all interlaced together, threading our unique stories of spiritual explorations, and knitting ourselves into a tapestry of mystical sisterhood.

Spiritual medium and intuitive coach Jessica Snider is no stranger to the ethereal realm. Harnessing the fascinating power of spiritual mediums, she joined us for an enlightening conversation on embracing intuition, understanding the mystical, and aligning with our true selves. Delving into her own personal journey from teaching to spiritual medium, Jessica detailed her experiences and encounters with the spiritual world. Her life transformed drastically when she began consulting with her spirit guides, revealing aspects about herself that continue to influence her life and intuitive work. Recognizing that everyone possesses the capability to connect with spirit guides, Jessica underscored her mission to guide others towards unveiling their innate intuitive powers. In our conversation, Jessica also touched upon the concept of soul evolution and the difference between new and old souls. Through the various stages of soul levels, one gains new layers of awareness. The newer souls generally are more focused on survival and getting basic needs met. In contrast, older souls comprehend the oneness of all and carry a deeper understanding of their intuition and their divinity. Jessica highlighted the importance of setting boundaries with spirit guides. Rather than constant communication, she advised that having routine check-ins with spirit guides can prevent spiritual overwhelm and offer more focused guidance. Using her personal experience, she shared the importance of making time for yourself and providing designated spaces for spiritual connections. From understanding intuition to connecting with spirit guides and navigating the journey of self-discovery, the conversation provided a treasure trove of spiritual wisdom, leaving listeners enthralled and eager for further exploration in the realm of the mystical. Onto our next episode, here's to maintaining a curious mindset and embracing the infinite possibilities awaiting us in the mystical world. We talk about:

| 062: Embracing Your Body with Compassion and Nonjudgment with Maureen Spielman | 28 Feb 2024 | 00:26:57 | |
Our bodies, the vessels that carry us through life, are often subjected to our own scrutiny and criticism. We constantly desire them to be different, to conform to societal standards of beauty and perfection. It’s an exhausting and never-ending cycle. But what if we shifted our perspective and saw our bodies as our friends, rather than enemies? In today's episode of Mystical Sisterhood, we explore the profound truth that our bodies are not adversaries, but allies. I introduce the concept of the four dimensions of being: the spiritual, the emotional, the mental, and the physical. Each dimension plays a crucial role in our overall well-being. Our spiritual connection to something bigger, our emotions as a source of guidance, our thoughts and belief systems, and finally, our bodies - the densest form that houses all other dimensions. By acknowledging and nurturing each dimension, we can experience growth and transformation on a profound level. Maureen particularly emphasizes the importance of our bodies in this context. They are not separate from our souls and spirits but are encompassed by them. This new perspective invites us to view our bodies with reverence and gratitude. While society is gradually embracing diverse body types and promoting self-acceptance, many women continue to struggle with body image and self-worth. I challenge us to flip the script and rewrite our own stories. Instead of clinging to the masculine energy of control and perfection, she encourages us to embrace the feminine qualities of softness and self-compassion. Let us embark on this transformative journey of embracing our bodies and treating them as our dearest friends. Together, let us rewrite the narratives of self-judgment and comparison and embrace the truth that our bodies are not our enemies, but the vessels through which we experience life's wonders.

| 061: Deep Dive: Emotional Healing & Intuitive Breakthroughs with Heather Driscoll | 21 Feb 2024 | 00:54:41 | |
As we journey through life, we often encounter unconscious scripts ingrained in us by our upbringing. These scripts shape how we interact with ourselves and the world around us. At times, they serve as roadblocks on our spiritual journey and hinder us from reaching our fullest potential. In this exploration, we will illuminate these scripts, delve into the fascinating world of intuitive abilities, and discover ways to better navigate our emotions. Scripts are embedded in us by the people in our lives, introduced to us by our cultures, and built on personal experiences. As we mature, these scripts become increasingly influential, dictating the choices we make, the beliefs we hold, and the paths we follow. However, by recognizing these scripts for what they are -- conceptual separators -- we gain the power to challenge and rewrite them. I’m joined by Heather Driscoll, a certified life alignment expert and an intuitive guide adept at delving into the depths of one's personality to reveal hidden truths. By exploring her experiences, we provide insights into how understanding and tapping into your intuitive abilities can lead to emotional healing. Embracing the age of Aquarius and evolving to new heights in our spiritual journey requires taking the time to do the necessary inner work. It's about focusing on transforming the self, processing past experiences, and re-defining our scripts. The more we do this, the more we are able to tap into our intuitive abilities, handle our emotions, and transform our lives. As we journey on this path, it’s important to take time, be patient, and treat ourselves with compassion and understanding. We talk about:

However, understanding and implementing it in our lives can be liberating and transformative, and that's what this blog post is about - treading on the path to forgiveness. Drawing from an enlightening conversation between Brenda Reiss, a renowned forgiveness coach, and I, we uncover the concept of forgiveness and its profound significance in our lives. We introduce the idea of forgiveness as an antidote to the resentment or anger that we often hold onto from past experiences, creating a space for us to feel freer and more expanded. Brenda emphasizes how her work revolves around guiding others on their transformative journey of forgiveness. Her unique approach involves closely exploring this intricate path and thereupon unraveling its influence on our mental and emotional state. Brenda explains how her unique technique, "Radical Forgiveness," covers five key steps. It starts by recognizing and understanding one’s feelings followed by collapsing the story – differentiating fact from interpretation. It then takes a higher spiritual perspective that considers occurrences as happening ‘for’ us and not ‘to’ us. The narrative of our lives doesn't need to be gripped by past hurts, resentment or regret. Establishing a deeper, more compassionate relationship with ourselves can pave the way for emotional freedom and empowerment. We talk about:

| 059: Tapping into Intuition with Dr. Ricci-Jane Adams | 07 Feb 2024 | 00:54:23 | |
In this episode of the Mystical Sisterhood Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Ricci-Jane Adams, who holds a PhD in Magical Realism and as a founder of the Institute of Intuitive Intelligence, strives to bring spirituality and intuitive intelligence to the forefront of everyday life. She believes in using intuition as a guiding force in our lives. According to her, intuition can enable us to understand our life's purpose and surrender to our unlimited self. This belief is reflected in the array of invaluable spiritual and intuitive insights she shares with her audience. In our conversation, Dr. Adams delved deeply into what it means to trust ourselves fully. The key, she explains, is having the ability to trust and follow our intuition, even when it leads us against convention. As Adams has seen and experienced, there is often a pull between the paths that intuition guides us towards and the constructs we have built about what the ‘right’ path looks like. She also shares about how we are living in the age of the contemporary mystic. A phase where humanity is waking up to the idea that spirituality should not be separated from the human experience but integrated into our daily lives. The world might be on fire metaphorically, and that can be seen as a sign of change and evolution. The Institute of Intuitive Intelligence, founded by Adams, is a congregation of like-minded individuals who foster this spiritual growth. The camaraderie and shared wisdom can expedite spiritual evolution, making the Institute a true beacon for those on a spiritual path. We talk about:

| 094: How to Create an Aligned & Authentic Business with Darrah Brustein | 09 Oct 2024 | 00:49:06 | |
Have you ever wondered how your childhood experiences mirror your adult life and influence the decisions you make? In a world where we often find ourselves chasing achievements and external validation, mystical thinking prompts us to explore deeper connections with our human experience. Our recent episode of "Mystical Sisterhood" featuring Darrah Brustein delves into these profound questions, exploring the intersection of entrepreneurship, spirituality, and personal growth. Every experience in our lives leads us to the ‘now’ moment. Special guest Darrah, a five-time business founder, author, and coach, joins me on the podcast to share her journey of starting multiple businesses and the life lessons learned along the way. Darrah beautifully bridges her human experiences with a spiritual lens, offering insights into thinking about how our childhood shapes our adult lives and how we balance work with personal fulfillment. We discuss the pervasive struggles with self-worth and confidence, particularly when raised in achievement-focused cultures. For Darrah, overcoming self-doubt required confronting feelings of inadequacy and recognizing non-traditional skills like connecting people and curating experiences. Discernment and intuition play critical roles in entrepreneurship. Darrah shares her belief in focusing on initiatives that address problems she feels equipped to tackle, ensuring sustained attention and redirection of energies only once systems and processes are well-established. As we round out the conversation, we highlight the dangers of comparison and encourage listeners to embrace their own unique journeys. Life’s spiritual nature is ever-present, regardless of how connected or disconnected we may feel at different times. We talk about:

| 058: Transforming Reality by Shifting Perception with Pam Grout | 31 Jan 2024 | 00:53:33 | |
In this episode of the Mystical Sisterhood Podcast, I’m joined by Pam Grout, New York Times Best Selling Author, author of over 20 books, and leader in the spiritual space. We talk about the power our thinking holds over our reality, the illusion of life, personal growth, and the state of connectivity we share with the universe. Pam shares how seductive it is to believe that your reality is a product of your culture, your family, or events from early in life. She encourages listeners to dare to look beneath the illusion. She asserts that many of us are living under a veil, and to reveal the real truth of life, we have to be ready to see beyond our established perceptions. During the podcast, Pam explores the power of believing in the impossible. Often, literal-mindedness limits us; inhibits our ability to imagine a world beyond the concrete — a world where our thoughts create our reality. It is when we stretch our minds to believe in the impossible that we start to see miracles occur in everyday life. Pam emphasizes the value of community for spiritual growth, citing the power of collective consciousness. She's an advocate for seeking and surrounding oneself with high-vibration messages. This, she believes, progresses humanity forward and enlivens our dreams. Words have enormous creative power. The language we use constructs our reality. We all carry our individually nuanced understandings of every word’s significance, and hence, we create unique interpretations of our realities. Spiritual growth, therefore, beckons us to intentionally employ positive and expansive language. The podcast also covers Pam’s inspiring initiative, The 222 Foundation she created to honor her daughter. It supports regenerative, creative, and progressive projects — a testament to the hypothesis that when we dare to dream and take action, we can change the world. We leave you with a powerful message for dreamers and creative thinkers, an invitation to all to embrace the unknown. Letting go of the need for structured plans and hard and fast rules, they encourage listeners to trust their intuition, feed their curiosity, and continue to focus on their dreams. By shift of perspective, by daring to dream, and by believing that change is not just probable but possible, we have within our reach the power to transform. Explore your thoughts, watch for everyday miracles, and remember: the language you use to describe your reality is the paintbrush with which you color your world. We talk about:

| 57: How to Tap Into the Universe | 24 Jan 2024 | 00:31:04 | |
Do you ever feel like parts of your life are not as aligned as you'd like them to be? That the ways you've tried to solve the challenges only work for so long and before you know it, you're living in the same pattern once again? If you've tried to find the answer to fix the issue and yet you still keep running into the same challenges, I'm here in solidarity with you. I want to share the practices I've applied in my own life that allow me to see the bigger picture and lean into the support that's out there for me as well. And by support, I'm talking about the universal presence that surrounds us and some spiritual laws that can help guide and support us. Today, I invite you to embrace the truth of being both human and a soul and a part of something bigger. As I sometimes say, Mystical Sisterhood is where the mainstream meets the mystical. Yes, there is the mainstream and then there is the mystical! One of the most powerful things we can do is really work on letting go of the outcome and remind ourselves that it's not the outcome that matters. It's the process and what you are doing as you're doing life. It's about relinquishing control and trusting in the universe that you are just where you're meant to be. Watching our language is another important practice. The words we use matter. The more we can be aware and have intention around the words we choose and the language we put out there, the more we can communicate with the universe. It's about choosing words that have a higher vibration, free from resistance. Can you trust? Can you just give over that faith that you are being led, you are being guided on the perfect path for you? Trusting that the universe is conspiring in your favor can be a game-changer. It allows us to surrender and let the universe work its magic. Surrounding ourselves with people and communities that support and uplift us is crucial. Finding what supports you, who supports you, and what communities support you is an essential part of this journey. It's about finding that vibrational match and creating a support team that can hold space for each other's experiences and potential. Gratitude is a practice that is often underestimated. It not only brings about feelings of goodwill but also signals to the universe that you are in a receptive state. Practicing gratitude, whether through journaling or expressing it out loud, can open up the doors to abundance and more amazing things in your life. As we navigate through the challenges and triumphs of life, it's important to remember that we are not alone. We are part of something bigger, and the universe is there to guide and support us. By letting go of the outcome, being mindful of our language, and trusting in the universe, we can tap into a higher wisdom that will lead us on the path to our authentic selves. Surrounding ourselves with supportive communities and practicing gratitude further enhances our connection to the universal presence. Embrace the infinite possibilities and let the universe show you the way. We talk about:

| 56: Harnessing the Power of Your Breath with ML Wahlfeldt | 17 Jan 2024 | 00:45:34 | |
In this episode, I have an insightful conversation with a dear friend and esteemed colleague ML Wahlfeldt. ML is a certified breath coach who believes in the transformative power of intentional breathing. She has helped countless students discover the intrinsic link between proper breathing, wellbeing, and a centered, mindful life. As you’ll hear in our conversation, an integral part of our bond is our shared belief in the potency of local voices. ML shares her belief in the power of meaningful conversations that reach the people who need those messages the most. ML shared a deeply personal story about her journey to discovering breath coaching, which was triggered by her father's battle with a stroke and the subsequent path of self-discovery and learning her father's predicament led her on. She explained the connection between oxygen, the brain, and overall well being that she learned during her father's health crisis. This kindled a spark in her, motivating her to dedicate her life to learning about neuroscience, the importance of oxygen for our bodies, and how breathwork can be transformative. In her quest for finding inner peace, ML started practicing breathing meditation and soon realized its potency in providing focus and calm. Breathing meditation, she discovered, was her best tool for maintaining a centered and present existence. ML shares the connection between diaphragmatic breathing and a reduction of cortisol levels in our bodies, which is pivotal for reducing stress and inflammation—the leading cause of numerous diseases. She asserted that diaphragmatic breathing not only reduces stress but also increases attention span and focus. The discussion then spiraled into the connection between breathing and our energy, our life force. ML emphasized that we are all energy, interconnected and engaging with each other's energy. Practicing breath work and being aware of our energy brought her a sense of connectivity to the universe and self-assurance that wasn't there before. Be open to practices that bring you peace and give you a deeper understanding of yourself. Let that guide you and provide you with the compass for maneuvering life’s journey. We talk about:

| 55: A Life Altering Moment That Sparked Mystic Healing with Abigail Zoe Martin | 10 Jan 2024 | 00:56:17 | |
In this episode, I interview Abigail Zoe Martin. Abigail wears many hats – portrait photographer, healer, coach, and creator of the exquisite exhibition, "Energy Unlimited," based in Chicago. She discusses her life journey, experiences, and her work, opening up new realms of conversation on spirituality and healing. Abigail, described as an intriguing blend of different talents, has embarked on various ventures, ranging from photography to curating art exhibitions. Her portrait work has been featured in reputed English publications and the prestigious National Gallery in London. However, it was her exhibition, "Energy Unlimited," that garnered the host's attention. The exhibition was a serendipitous discovery, leading Maureen into Abigail's world of creativity and holistic healing. Discussing her journey, Abigail tells us about her life-changing incident – a major car accident in 2017. She vividly describes the terrifying moment when her vehicle was spinning out of control, yet, she experienced an unexpected serenity, a sense of being enveloped in peace and safety. Abigail firmly believes this incident marked a transition in her life, hurling her into an accelerated path of spiritual awakening. Abigail shares about her evolution into an energy healer, which was a process that began after her accident and her father's subsequent critical illness. Her journey as a healer took a significant leap in 2020 amidst the global uncertainty. She found that the fear people felt during the pandemic had less to do with the virus and more with deep-seated issues that they had failed to address previously. Using energy healing, she was able to guide them on a path of recovery. In a profound discussion about channeling spirits and mediumship, Abigail shares instances of her otherworldly experiences. These experiences have not only reaffirmed her faith in the beyond but also empowered her to help her clients navigate their healing journey. Our conversation underscores the beauty and significance of mystical experiences and energy healing. The relevance of Abigail's journey resonates in a world increasingly open to the realms of spiritual understanding and new modalities of healing. We talk about:

| 54: Uncovering Your Birthrights and Embracing Your Essential Truths with Maureen Spielman | 03 Jan 2024 | 00:31:26 | |
In this newest of new years, let's make a pledge to tune into our essential birthrights. Our birthrights are the aspects of ourselves that we came into this world with and can never be taken away from us. They define who we are at our core, even if they have been overshadowed or buried along the way. Join me as we embark on a journey to rediscover and live our lives to the fullest potential, embracing authenticity in every aspect. When we think about our relationship with the essential parts of ourselves, it's essential to consider qualities like innocence, beauty, worthiness, and wholeness. How connected are we to these intrinsic aspects of who we are? Do we feel innocent, beautiful, and whole just as we are, without the need for any fixes or changes? How worthy do we feel of experiencing an authentic life? These questions may seem straightforward, but they are multi-layered and complex. Let's explore these essential truths and the barriers that prevent us from fully embracing them. Living authentically requires us to dig deeper and confront the limiting patterns and beliefs that hold us back. As we embark on the second year of Mystical Sisterhood, let's revisit the topic of worthiness and examine the limiting beliefs that may have gone unnoticed or unexamined. It's essential to recognize that these beliefs are not inherently bad or negative. They are simply patterns that keep us from fully experiencing the life we desire. Cultural conditioning and societal norms often perpetuate the illusion of quick fixes and instant transformations. However, true growth and self-discovery are not linear processes. As we navigate through social media, articles, and inspirational quotes, it's easy to feel a sense of pressure to have everything figured out instantly. But the reality is, our journey is a process that requires patience, compassion, and a deep understanding of ourselves. Instead of being hard on ourselves for not having everything figured out, let's learn to be compassionate and patient with our own journeys. Each one of us is on our unique timeline, and true transformation takes time. Let's embrace a compassionate way of being with ourselves and acknowledge that we are all works in progress. Rather than seeking quick fixes or external validation, let's focus on the inner work and the unconditional love we can cultivate for ourselves. Birthrights are the innate qualities that we all possess but may have been covered up by societal expectations and personal conditioning. These birthrights include wholeness, innocence, worthiness, and abundance, among others. Through life coaching and self-exploration, we can uncover the limiting beliefs and patterns that hinder our growth. By examining the messages we internalized from various sources, such as family, school, and culture, we can start to break free from their grip and redefine our own values and beliefs. Let's identify some common limiting beliefs that may resonate with many of us. These beliefs can include: 1. Believing that women are primarily homemakers, leading to self-neglect and limited personal pursuits. 2. Feeling inadequate or not smart enough based on an outdated definition of intelligence. 3. Rejecting our own creativity due to comparisons with others or childhood experiences. 4. Struggling with body image due to societal pressures and unrealistic beauty standards. 5. Being hindered in forming intimate connections due to a lack of role models or past experiences. 6. Believing that age is a barrier to trying new things or pursuing personal growth. As we embark on this journey of self-discovery and transformation, let's commit to honoring ourselves and breaking free from the limiting beliefs that obstruct our path. By embracing self-compassion, unconditional love, and... | |||
| 53: Creating Rich and Transformative Communities with Maureen Spielman | 27 Dec 2023 | 00:24:01 | |
In the mystical journey of life, we often find ourselves seeking deeper connections, yearning for shared experiences, and craving the support of like-minded individuals. It is within the realms of community that true transformation can occur, where we lift each other up and let our spirits soar. As John F. Kennedy once said, "A rising tide lifts all boats." Today, we delve into the profound impact of community, exploring how women are coming together in sisterhood, collaborating on their dreams, and nurturing their personal growth. Just like a rising tide lifts all boats, the collective support and collaboration among women allow them to rise together. The concept of women's rising is not one confined to a single area of life but encompasses the realms of work, relationships, and personal growth. The Mystical Sisterhood has become a catalyst for inspiration, education, and collective transformation. In this podcast, women from all walks of life converge, sharing their stories, dreams, and visions. Through this shared sisterhood, we discover that we are never alone on life's journey. As we bring our dreams to life, we also unveil unexpected portals of joy and healing. The Mystical Sisterhood exemplifies the beauty of women supporting one another, embracing new ideas, and nurturing each other's growth. Within the tapestry of the Mystical Sisterhood, a profound shift is taking place as women come together to embrace new thoughts and ways of accessing information. This collective journey supports the transition from old to new paradigms, enabling personal and societal change. By fearlessly speaking from the heart and expressing their truths unapologetically, women ignite a ripple effect of transformation. In this coming together, we leave behind outdated systems and embrace a new way of being. We bear witness to the transformative journey of embracing our wholeness. By sharing our stories and experiences, we realize that we are more alike than different. As we release the shadows of limiting beliefs and self-perceived inadequacies, we unlock our true potential. Together, we grow, evolve, and shift, stepping into our authentic selves and celebrating the magic that resides within our hearts. We talk about:

| 093: Exploring Clairvoyance and Psychic Protection with Janet Rae Orth | 02 Oct 2024 | 00:42:24 | |
Are you feeling more anxious than ever? Do you sense the pressure of an ever-evolving world affecting your peace of mind? Throughout history, humans have sought ways to understand and manage their emotions, anxieties, and life challenges. Today, more than ever, we're in need of grounding practices and intuitive guidance to navigate the complexities of modern life. In this episode of Mystical Sisterhood, I’m joined by Janet Rae Orth, an intuitive life coach and clairvoyant with over 28 years of experience. Janet shared her profound insights on intuitive living, psychic protection, and the importance of nature and grounding. Here are some highlights from our truly magical conversation. Janet started by acknowledging the rising levels of anxiety in today's world, noting that they are symptomatic of our highly connected, always-on lifestyles. She offers a popular class on psychic protection, which helps individuals create energetic boundaries to shield themselves from external pressures. Janet explains that contemporary life often leads us to feel bombarded with energy and expectations, exacerbating anxiety. Through psychic protection workshops, she guides students to use visualization techniques, such as imagining a protective rose at the edge of their aura, to maintain their energetic integrity. We delve into the pressures of modern life, such as the intricate college application process and career uncertainties. Janet advocates for reframing our experiences to see every step as a success rather than focusing solely on the end goal. This mindset can help reduce feelings of inadequacy and encourage us to celebrate our achievements, no matter how small. Janet provides historical context for our current era, the Age of Aquarius, known for its transformative, yet disruptive energies. She points out that previous shifts into the Age of Aquarius have led to significant societal changes and innovations. Janet remains hopeful that despite current disruptions, this era will bring about positive transformations and advancements, such as the rise of artificial intelligence. Ultimately, Janet believes that we are here to be happy and thrive, not just to endure suffering. Through her readings, workshops, and intuitive guidance, she helps individuals release pain and embrace joy. Her work emphasizes that we are all capable of healing and achieving a fulfilling life.

Christine MacMillan is the owner and founder of MacMillan Travel Designs. She is a former business consultant turned travel agent after experiencing burnout in her first career and deciding it was time for a career change. Her passion for travel started early with her family of origin that valued travel. Christine’s consulting job also led her to destinations around the world. But she comes alive when helping women and families design their dream vacations and create memorable travel experiences. EPISODE TAKEAWAYS (what you’ll learn):
About The Guest: Christine MacMillan is your partner for maximizing travel and making memories. Having spent more than 20 years coordinating global travel during her career as a business consultant, Christine became an official travel advisor in 2020. Today, she’s a multi-certified, time-saving travel planner for fellow working moms who dream of special family trips but never have the bandwidth to plan them.
