The School of Whispers Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

On this week’s episode, Bianca Book walks us through 1.9 million years of human history. As an archaeologist and anthropologist, Bianca has a special interest in southeastern archeology, food ways, and specializes in bioarchaeology (human remains). 

In order to know how and why we function as a species and to have a clear view of where we’re going, your host believes it’s valuable to understand where we’ve been as a species. We hope this episode brings you a deep appreciation for humans as a whole. 

It feels worth mentioning this episode feels extra special because not only is Bianca one of your host’s oldest friends, but she’s a long time listener of the show! So it felt like a real treat to have her join us. 

Episode highlights: 

• The ancient history of our ancestors- Homo erectus, Homo sapiens, the Neanderthals, and Denisovans
• The evolution and adaption of certain physical characteristics according to our environment
• The mystery and various theories behind cave art and their possible connection with manifestation & shamanism
• indigenous rituals based around blood sacrifice, plant medicine (such as cacao), and purging
•

This week’s episode is a vulnerable share from your host, Stephanie, about her experience working through the first step in Al Anon. Al Anon is a group for loved ones of addicts, and within this group, Stephanie has found community and a path towards a new way of living. As she begins her work through the twelve steps, she’s found herself as a standstill within the first one: admitting she powerless over her attempts to control and manage her life when it has become unmanageable.

Working through these steps is not for the faint of spirit- it requires full trust in a Higher Power and willingness to surrender to the path ahead.

Highlights from this episode:

- Her journey with her spirituality- from being raised within the Catholic religion, stepping away from her prior concepts of God and redefining her spirituality, and now once again finding herself at a crossroads,

- The mixed bag of emotions she has towards the first step (we low key hate it lol).

- Her journey of moving through fear and stepping away from the insanity of believing she can control and fix everything in her life.

If you are feeling alone and hopeless within being affected by the sickness of addiction (in any respect), please do not hesitate to reach out and/or find your own Al Anon, AA or NA group. Overcoming this sickness requires letting people in- and sometimes it's hard to find the right people who get it.

This episode is a conversation about surrender with trauma-informed plant medicine ceremonialist and psychedelic integration guide, Shoval Rose. On the show, Shoval vulnerably shares her experience and the lessons she gained from letting go and letting God during a time of uncertainty and deep, soul-shifting challenges.

Highlights from this episode:

- how pain was a teacher for Shoval as she moved from resistance to her life and God towards deeper surrender

- how a tough bout of insomnia and anxiety brought her to her to a come to God moment during a challenging time in her life

- why Shoval chose to briefly step into a space of sobriety while unpacking deep dysregulation

- her experience as a Jewish woman from Israel on being baptized after finding connection with God, Jesus, Mary, etc.

This episode is all about betrayal; and with that comes forgiveness. We all experience it across our lives- whether that’s self betrayal, being on the receiving end of it, or being the one that’s betrayed another. As with most intense emotional events in life, each experience with betrayal comes with a lesson.

After experiencing some pretty heavy betrayals earlier this year, your host, Stephanie, received some valuable lessons and insights which she shares with you. Through reflection, the letting go process, and using her vast array of tools, she also learned about the art of forgiveness.

Highlights from this episode:

- Why betrayal is nobody’s fault

- Holistic modalities to help restore your body after a strong emotional experience such as betrayal, including a recent experience Stephanie had with a plant called Tepezchoite

- A little dive into Polyvagal theory, and how one can use it to determine the right support while moving through hard times

Welcome back to the School of Whispers Podcast! Season 3 is ready to roll!!

It’s been 9 months since your host, Stephanie, took a step back from the show to get her life in order. During this time, she’s finished her master’s program, moved back to her hometown of West Palm Beach, officially become a licensed acupuncture physician, and found herself in a massive dark night of the soul.

Within this, she often found herself experiencing deep shame which had her blocking herself spiritually, creatively, and mentally.

On this episode, she talks about how she found herself slipping into the arms of shame, and how she’s worked her way through it. In true School of Whispers style, this episode tells a story of the lessons which can come from sitting within the whispers of one’s darkness.

Highlights

- A little catch up on the roller-coaster of events which have transpired since season 2

- How lessons on validation, fully embracing her cringe, and more helped Stephanie transform her life within this darker period

- Some details into her first time sitting with the plant technology, Iboga

Welcome to the School of Whispers Podcast. Your host, Stephanie Osborne Wright, is a licensed acupuncture physician and herbalist with a background in psychology, health sciences, and exercise physiology. Within her own spiritual awakening, she found herself learning pivotal lessons when she got herself to be in silence. Within that silence, the whispers came through.

This is her sacred space of vulnerable story telling where she and her guests share about the magic that comes from a life of following these whispers.

We're very grateful you’ve made your here, and we hope this show inspires you to live a life of following your own whispers.

This week’s episode is a solocast and the season finale to season two of the podcast- and it feels kind of like a big deal! 

This is the last time your host, Stephanie will be recording as a student of Chinese Medicine (so a new intro will be in order for season 3!). 

This is also the last time she will be recording while living in Orlando, the podcast’s birth place. 

Stephanie reflects on the journey of moving to Orlando, starting her three year master’s program in Oriental Medicine, and having her world be flipped upside down with a big spiritual awakening. 

She also tells her story of a recent ceremony, which ended up having a very interesting plot twist. Long story short, she learned lessons she will never forget. 

These past two seasons of the show have been the story of someone learning how to step into her power and accept all sides of herself- and we’re so grateful you’ve been here on this beautiful ride with us! 

We’ll be feeling your energy in season 3!

Today on the show we’re diving into experiencing the mysteries and shadows of divine feminine energy with Jordana Meade. 

Jordana had it all- the job in the big city, the apartment, the clothes, the cars, the vacations, the friends, the boyfriend- and yet, she felt there was something missing.

 On the outside, she looked like the peak of success, but on the inside, she struggled to feel embodied pleasure and fulfillment. 

The feminine urge to live a life of rest, softness, and pleasure pushed her to shift her entire world around. 

Today, Jordana is the founder of her company, Inner Empress, a motivational speaker, and coach who empowers her clients to reclaim their feminine power and birthright to pleasure. 

Highlights: 

• Her journey from constantly shining, shining, shining on that corporate masculine grind and why she answered the call of her feminine shadow 
• Why integrating feminine energy requires we find comfort and release control within the unknown..something we often see as scary. 
• Jordana covers a few wounded feminine archetypes- the martyr, the perfectionist, and the princess 
• Why taking it slow and testing the waters of discomfort within our healing is practicing true embodiment- and why we don’t have to dive head first into the deep-end every time
