But -- we have nothing to prove to them.The inspiration behind The Uncivilized Man Movement is the primitive man dealing with unexpressed emotions and pain.One of Traver's passions is to help men connect their emotions and feelings to something bigger than themselves so that they can be a better person.Traver wants to thank every woman who's bought his book and spread his message.With power comes great responsibility, and being in a man's body does bring great power. In other words, don't apologize for being born as a man. Do something good with it.The Uncivilized Man Movement's mantra is to let others feel safe as you walk among them.Biology exists, and it needs to be recognized. For that reason, no matter how many books we read and how much money we make, our biology has to be tended to.What can we do for men? Encourage, celebrate and support them.All men have a green light and a red light inside of them.A couple fighting to be in the alpha role will cause harm to the relationship. As a result, it is going to be a power struggle and a pissing contest.For Traver, the depth of the word "safety" is something he had to learn by himself. Now, he helps men to comprise and create it.Traver Boehm is perplexed by the state of our culture. Right now, he feels people are digging their heels against the pendulum — a kind of middle ground unto itself."The women are the message spreaders of the world."Traver feels that as the dominant in the room, men are responsible for the women.

Episode 337: Traver Boehm - https://www.manuncivilized.com - knows men. How they think, what's behind their behavior, and most importantly — their unique challenges in the modern landscape. Traver is the founder of the UNcivilized Men's Movement, the fastest growing men's movement in the world. He is the author of Today I Rise, and Man UNcivilized as well as a two time TEDx speaker, men's coach and podcaster. Drawing upon an eclectic background ranging from professional bodyguarding and Mixed Martial Arts to a Master's Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and meditation, Traver counsels men, women, and couples on how to better understand men's mental health and relationship difficulties.In this episode, originally recorded as a live-class episode of Traver's podcast. Raw and unfiltered, Madelyn and Traver discuss artistry and generosity, purity culture, sensuality, how to make art in triggered moments, polarity, devotion, and healing the wounds that are keeping us at a distance from those we want to love and love well.COACHING: Discover more at https://maddymoon.com/coachingSISU SOCIETY: Join here: https://maddymoon.com/sisu-societyFEMININE SPIRIT SCHOOL: Join here: https://maddymoon.com/feminine-spiritShow Notes:Traver will also appear on Mind Body Musings soon.Speaking to an audience who may be unfamiliar with her, Madelyn discusses her study in yogic intimacy and her upbringing in purity culture.Purity culture is essentially slut-shaming at its core, wholesale denial of feminine sexuality.An extension of this is also the way that women speak of each other and their gender. "I'm not like most girls," or, "Don't worry; I'm not crazy."During her time in bodybuilding, Madelyn found that having been raised to believe and assume that men are "better" than women was contributing to her building physical armor around her emotional truth.Being unable to cope with the "curvature of life" manifested as OCD; living through an eating disorder manifested because of being unable to cope with the curvature of body.A woman revealing to her partner the part of her that is "lost," she is letting go of everything her body has been taught/forced/compelled to do.Being able to be sharp and then go into softness is part of the privilege of being a man.Richard Rudd - The Gene Keys - the highest form of love is to arrive just as you are, beyond the things you're into, beyond what you're practicing. "I don't need you to do anything." More Richard Rudd here: maddymoon.com/richard-rudd/Madelyn explores the concept of approaching dating as a practice - holding your body to transmit, "I'm open. I'm present."One of the primary masculine challenges - there's tremendous anger toward the feminine in the masculine."Entitlement is a big piece of what men need to work through."Three Stages of CommunicationBased on The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida – https://amzn.to/3i2REUUFirst Stage: Reactive, the way most people are interacting.When one feels triggered, repressive reaction, silent treatment, withholding love, punishing, spiritual bypassing.Second Stage: Everyone needs more of this - talk therapy, clear, "When you did X, I felt Y, and I desire ..."This is formatted and structured - very much in the masculine domain.Third Stage: revealing truth as a gift to our partner.Instead of an accusatory, "You always do this to me," transformed into a statement in the name of love, with love.Madelyn has worked on connecting to the part of her that's heartbroken. The heartbroken part is the same part that wants to be an offering."There's no part of heartbroken-ness that wants distance.The first step of elevating relationship into artistry: Recognize your complaint in the relationship.Madelyn is incubating the idea of some sort of show related to her work - polarity dating show?

*Episode 336:* Yogic intimacy and Tantra are spiritual embodiment practices that both encompass and extend beyond sex. Madelyn has been focusing on Tantra to complement the Yogic intimacy work she's been engaged with for years. Learning just basic physical intimacy is a challenge for many of us, let alone exploring and enhancing by engaging the physical with the spiritual, and the masculine with the feminine. Madelyn has been focused more on her TikTok and Instagram these days, as she's been using visual components to teach these concepts. In this episode Madelyn catches up on what she's been up to and explores some tools and practices available to bring art to our intimacy. *COACHING* : Discover more at https://maddymoon.com/coaching *SISU SOCIETY* : Join here: https://maddymoon.com/sisu-society *FEMININE SPIRIT SCHOOL* : Join here: https://maddymoon.com/feminine-spirit *Show Notes* : * Madelyn's intention is to now release one podcast episode per month. * The podcast is no longer at the forefront of her prerogatives as a teacher. * Follow Madelyn on Instagram and TikTok, where she's taking her polarity teaching with a visual component. This will be her focus for her time. * Madelyn welcomes your feedback on the new plan! * Artistic Intimacy Workshop: maddymoon.com/artistic ( http://maddymoon.com/artistic ) * This is a two-hour workshop on how to bring art into your intimate life. * Madelyn has been doing a Tantra course, supplementing the Yogic intimacy she's been studying and teaching. * Men often deplete their chi or lifeforce through ejaculation - women 'get' energy and are energized via sex and orgasm. * One of the prime quests of the male's journey to living a Tantric lifestyle is to prolong or delay ejaculation, orgasm without ejaculation. * In Tantra you are vitalized by multiple orgasms, but physical ejaculation is depleting. * Much of Madelyn's work to date has approached from the more spiritual, less physical side of intimacy. * This is largely due to the purity culture in which she was raised. * When she was young, Madelyn wore a ring symbolizing her marriage with God. * While that was part of a negative purity culture, she has adapted the concept and considers herself married to a personal god, and connects with this through the sensual. * Sisu Society has changed and evolved. No longer a group coaching program, now a course with tons of practices: maddymoon.com/sisu-society ( http://maddymoon.com/sisu-society ) * Feminine Spirit School is a foundational, but still deep, study of feminine/masculine: maddymoon.com/feminine-spirit ( http://maddymoon.com/feminine-spirit ) * As always, one-one-coaching is available as well. maddymoon.com/coaching ( http://maddymoon.com/coaching ) *Connect with Madelyn:* * *Facebook* : https://facebook.com/moonfitness/ * *Instagram* : https://instagram.com/madelynmoon/ * *Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes* : http://maddymoon.com/itunes * *Download my Four Favourite Feminine Embodiment Practices* : https://maddymoon.com/freegift Photo credit: Lisandra Vazquez Photography Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

*Episode 334* : As more and more of us as individuals and as a society become aware of our own feminine/masculine and engaging in conscious embodiment, the path to equilibrium in a relationship can sometimes feel like it's become more and more difficult. The "bold masculine" impulse to operate by mandates, to organize and structure, can conflict with the more important and valuabe acts of simply being present. In this episode, originally recorded for The Rising Man podcast, Madelyn and host Jeddy Azuma discuss boundaries, the bold masculine, and the intersection of embodiment and intimacy. *COACHING* : Discover more at https://maddymoon.com/coaching *SISU SOCIETY* : Join here: https://maddymoon.com/sisu-society *FEMININE SPIRIT SCHOOL* : Join here: https://maddymoon.com/feminine-spirit *Show Notes:* * Madelyn participated in this conversation on Jeddy Azuma's The Rising Man podcast - https://maddymoon.com/rising-man * There's a workshop next week - Artistic Intimacy - maddymoon.com/artistic ( http://maddymoon.com/artistic ) * If you're interested in using feminine (energy) and masculine (consciousness) energetics in your day-to-day life, know that there's a playful way to handle conflict in your relationship, and are fed up with closed-hearted "lol okay" statements but don't know how to escape that space, this workshop is for you. * What is the difference between a boy and a man? * A boy has energy of either tiptoeing or stomping on eggshells. * A man is more even-keel eggshell walking, more confident, more present in himself, more breath in the way he'll live his life. * His presence allows her to be more at ease. * Madelyn had to reprogram her constructs from upbringing - that certain emotions were "wrong." * When she started on her embodiment path, she learned to use her physical body to reveal anger, reveal grief. * This led to her presenting herself in relationships more in real time, avoiding language that leans on shame and blame. * The masculine can be characterized as consciousness, depth, nothingness - the container. * The feminine can be characterized as energy, motion, chaos - what fills the container. * Women often get caught off guard when a man finally arrives at being in touch with his emotions, which can lead to defensiveness from both. * Whoever is more consumed and focused on more love in the relationship, is the one in the feminine. * You cannot be penetrated by life when you're constantly setting up boundaries - think of a sandbox instead. * Setting boundaries is not about trying to create separation and walls. * Men can feel dry and boring after too much focus on providing the stability they perceive as being asked of them, and deprioritizing adventure. * Women want your truth - don't say yes if you mean no. * Feeling the "no" within a "yes" is damaging to trust in a relationship. * Be authentically present through eye contact, aftercare, awareness, not necessarily analyzing and structuring. * Sometimes the more valuable work is done by not "working" on it, but being present for it. *Connect with Madelyn:* * *Facebook* : https://facebook.com/moonfitness/ * *Instagram* : https://instagram.com/madelynmoon/ * *Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes* : http://maddymoon.com/itunes * *Download my Four Favourite Feminine Embodiment Practices* : https://maddymoon.com/freegift Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A girlfriend at 18 suggested she explore becoming a dominatrix. * At this point is when she stepped into her own sexual power. "Oh, my sex isn't for other people." * Previously sex had largely been transactional, not done for enjoyment. * Now she was able to use people's kinks (often expression of pain and trauma as a filter to experience pleasure through) to bring them through their trauma and into healing. * Genevieve was raped at age 13, but didn't consciously acknowledge it as such until later in life. * She was later able reclaim it through work with a partner. * When people who are not experiencing pleasure due to trauma are able to reclaim it, they invariably realize that it was because they were terrified of the power of their pleasure. They were protecting themselves from pleasure. * She had to learn how to be intimate and gentle with herself. * Many of Genevieve's mentors are much older, and the death of one of these friends and guides became a regular and frequent reality for her. * Genevieve has been non-monogamous ( Shapeshifter Erotic Blueprint) for as long as she can remember - her lovers are like family or best friends. * Her partner was new to even the concept, so it has been a process of communication, acknowledging triggers will occur and utilize them to confront their fears together. * Genevieve's book: Fuck Yourself Open has more detail on Genevieve's 20+ years of erotic exploration through her lived experience and gifts you the simple, effective tools to reclaim your body and its innate wisdom, once and for all - https://amzn.to/2NTfnND * Your pleasure is your responsibility! *Connect with Genevieve* : *Join The Pleasure Circle here* : http://genevievepleasure.com/free/ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

*Episode 332* : Rotana is a Saudi Arabian performance artist, singer and songwriter. Born and raised in Saudi Arabia, she moved to Los Angeles five years ago to pursue music after quitting her job at Saudi Aramco, the largest oil company in the world. She is currently working on her one woman show/musical, Alien of Extraordinary Ability (named after her immigration status), and her debut album which just released her latest singles Sin Again and Stuck in America. Rotana describes herself as an initiator, an erotic being, and a liberator. As an artist that reckons daily with the experience of “other”, she is determined to give movement, sound, beauty and witness to that experience. After premiering her one woman show at FORM, a world renowned festival featuring artists and poets like Aja Monet and Florence and The Machine, she received the attention of publications like GQ noting that Rotana “delivered one of the most spine-tingling performances of the entire FORM festival.” She has also collaborated with brands including Fendi, Miu Miu, Lucky Brand, and more. Rotana has been named one of BBC’s 100 most powerful women and covered by GQ , LA Weekly , Huffington Post , Vice Arabia, Vogue Arabia, NPR, and AJ+. Her performances have spanned cities globally including Paris, Abu Dhabi, Los Angeles, New York, and at the Sundance Music Festival. Straddling a profound love for her home and the determination to be free, Rotana’s music speaks to the journey of self realization in the face of Saudi tradition, God, sexuality, family and the immigrant experience. *COACHING* : Discover more at https://maddymoon.com/coaching *SISU SOCIETY* : Join here: https://maddymoon.com/sisu-society *FEMININE SPIRIT SCHOOL* : Join here: https://maddymoon.com/feminine-spirit *Show Notes* : * Try Care/Of!

*Episode 331:* Most of us know about the Hero's Journey, the narrative template wherein the "hero" undergoes a series of patterns by which he actually becomes the hero. But what about the heroine? The feminine Heroine's Journey obviously doesn't follow the same pattern and has its own nuance and particulars. In special episode, Madelyn presents one of her full sessions from Sisu Society, outlining how to consider your own truth and story through the lens of the Heroine's Journey as described by authors Maureen Murdock and Camy Tang. *COACHING* : Discover more at https://maddymoon.com/coaching *SISU SOCIETY* : Join here: https://maddymoon.com/sisu-society *FEMININE SPIRIT SCHOOL* : Join here: https://maddymoon.com/feminine-spirit *Show Notes* : * This episode is a special full class from Sisu Society. * Use special podcast code MINDBODYMUSINGS for 10% off: maddymoon.com/sisu-society ( http://maddymoon.com/sisu-society ) * This is about being brilliantly resilient in your feminine. * Come back to your most pure, original, effortless state, which is being loved and being open. * You have probably been living The Heroine's Journey unconsciously your entire life. * The Hero's Journey is about what a man will endure through his life to become his own hero. * Joseph Campbell said The Hero's Journey takes men to the place that women have been all along. * Author Maureen Murdock disagrees with this somewhat and believes there's more to it. Get the book The Heroine's Journey here - https://amzn.to/2YZPXA7 * The Hero's Journey is about "things that happen," while The Heroine's Journey is more about transformation, disembodying and associating. * Women's leadership and women's sexuality are two prominent fronts in the modern Heroine's Journey. * Write or consider your own story as fiction. * This allows you to get distance from it, as well as explore concepts and areas you might avoid or not give yourself permission to explore in nonfictional consideration, such as memoir. * Madelyn then walks through Camy Tang's Heroine's Journey worksheet - available here: maddymoon.com/camy-tang-worksheet ( https://app.redcircle.com/shows/7af94ca8-e07c-452b-9d6c-7b9993db5cef/ep/maddymoon.com/camy-tang-worksheet ) * *Number one: the illusion of the perfect world.* * Think of a time before a big change - what was something you needed, that you didn't know at the time? * What archetype were you inhabiting at the time? * *Number two: separation from the feminine, something that "jarringly separates you from the voice in your womb."* * Not necessarily traumatic or bad, but something that changed your path - the call to adventure. * What is the thing that happened to you? And how did you lose what you cared about, what you thought you needed to have? * Don't judge yourself - this isn't about guilt or correction. Focus on what it's bringing up for you. * *Number three: the point of no return, and the preparation of the journey.* * The identification of the masculine. * When did you separate from the feminine and how did you identify with the masculine? * *Number four: the descent - the journey into the underworld.* * This is the part where you'll experience the most trials. * *Number five: the illusion of success.* * Life is full of exquisite expansion and contraction, and going into contraction isn't failure or a less important part than the expansion or success. * *Number six: death*. * All is lost, the black moment. * All is taken, the ultimate bathroom-floor breakdown, divine opening. * This is the moment where you are face-to-face with the ultimate fork in the road or inflection point. * *Number seven: surrender.* * You've surrendered, and your "spiritual team" rallies around you, and you come back into the feminine. * *Number eight: healing with the mother, rebirth, and healing with the wounded masculine.* * Now coming into the space of conscious masculinity in rhythm with the feminine. * Now it's about coming back into the world. * *Number nine: return to the perfect world, master of two worlds, freedom to live, final reward, integration.* * Think about your relationship with the feminine at different stages compared to it now. * Be present even in the chaos.

*Episode 329* : If you're on a self-aware and overt path of energy and relationship work, it can be both a challenge to grow if your partner isn't a "conscious man" on the same path, hasn't read the same books, attended the same workshops, and cultivated the same awareness of intimacy dynamics. However, there's also a great opportunity there, since if both partners are doing the same work very consciously, it can lead to a stilted sense of rigidity and overwhelming self-consciousness. It's okay if you carry these ideas more consciously than your partner! In this episode Madelyn explores this concept, covers the trouble spots as well as the benefits, and how to align your sensibilities to enhance your intimacy and stop waiting for the perfect conscious man. *COACHING* : Discover more at https://maddymoon.com/coaching *SISU SOCIETY* : Join here: https://maddymoon.com/sisu-society *FEMININE SPIRIT SCHOOL* : Join here: https://maddymoon.com/feminine-spirit *Show Notes* : * This episode's topic is "withholding." * For an introduction to the topic, see Madelyn's Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ32l27nOF8/ * There's a misconception that both partners must have the knowledge of spirituality/sexuality in order for the couple to work in that sphere. * Book: Blue Truth by David Deida: https://amzn.to/2XzltnK * It only takes one person to be conscious and understanding of things like "eye contact during sex deepens intimacy." * It's important to break the barrier of fear of looking or feeling stupid in order to evoke your spiritual intimacy and sexuality together. * Intimacy with someone who is aware of these dynamics is different than intimacy with someone who is not. * Both partners being very aware of this can make the process feel too predefined and static, or transform it into a performance. * On the other hand, it can be a challenge if you or your partner is not aware. * Taboos are the way that we sexualize our shame, which can be very positive. * It's showing you a place that deeply desires to be nourished and loved. * If your partner is not aware of the work, those darker places might challenge their identity. * If you are waiting for someone to check off all of these boxes, you are withholding, and you're the one suffering. * The deeper you go into your own practice, the more you will evoke it in your partner. * This process can open you up to falling in love with more and more different "types" of people. * Instagram and other platforms have a lot of strange censorship going on - make sure you're on the email list as a backup! maddymoon.com/feminine ( https://maddymoon.com/feminine ) *Connect with Madelyn:* * Facebook: https://facebook.com/moonfitness/ * Instagram: https://instagram.com/madelynmoon/ * Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes: http://maddymoon.com/itunes ( https://maddymoon.com/itunes ) * Download my Four Favorite Feminine Embodiment Practices: https://maddymoon.com/freegift Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

*Episode 328:* We are all creators - whether we're creating a podcast, a beautiful meal, music, a drawing, or our living spaces. The pressures of content creation and consumption on social media can leave us feeling disconnected with the pure joy of creation and enjoying content. At the end of 2020, Madelyn took a step back from social media and content creation and did a bit of Instagram cleansing, which then led to a reevaluation of her own time and energy, and a break from the podcast as well. In this episode Madelyn discusses this break, how to use the stresses of 2020 as an opportunity for change in 2021, rapture, and the joy of naps. *Show Notes:* * Madelyn was light on podcasts in December. * This stressful time is not so much like "being put through the wringer" as "being put through the portal." * Break started with Instagram break in November - deleted from phone, installed to make a post and taken off * Madelyn was struggling with the constant pressure of social media - "Instagram hamster wheel." * There's a difference between being a "creator" and having to "create content." * When the creations are used to make a living, they become something different. * Madelyn had lost sight of the actual spirit of creation in the pressure create content. * Every creation comes with a to-do list. * Part of our evolution as a society is also reflective of changes like this, moving to what's important. * She's been cocooning since moving, creating her new space. * Madelyn's word for the year: Rapture * Madelyn wrote a book during this time, in addition to the novel she's been working on. * Social media can be like an infant that needs constant care - even just the stress of keeping up and commenting that takes your focus away from the joy of creating for creation's sake. * Look to how you can bring in more help for yourself this year. * One spot for one-on-one coaching is opening up. *COACHING:* Receive personalized, 1:1 coaching from Maddy Moon to create your own feminine and masculine embodiment.

*Episode 327:* Sarah Poet is an alchemical life coach, healer & teacher who activates modern women on a soul path of fully reclaiming her energetic, spiritual, and financial sovereignty by transmuting her feminine and masculine trauma and standing in the full & unified truth of who she is. She is the host of the Sacred Remembering podcast for modern women waking up to the truth of who they are. You can watch her TEDx on reclaiming the feminine and masculine within each human as well as read her blog and more at www.sarahpoet.com ( http://www.sarahpoet.com ). *Show Notes:* * There is a wound carried in all feminine creatures - The Female Provision Wound. * Sarah took her name ("claimed the name of her soul") by engaging a self-baptism activity at a retreat. * The significance of names was discussed in Episode 273 with Gahl Sasson - maddymoon.com/gahl-sasson/ ( https://maddymoon.com/gahl-sasson/ ) * Sarah was raised in a small-town religious context. * She became pregnant relatively young. After returning home, there was a sense of, "Now I'm going to try to be good," but also a sense of, "No matter what you do, you won't be worthy." * Going through something like a divorce can particularly activate the Provision Wound - "But I'm in your house." * It's important to evaluate where you are in victim consciousness, especially if you balk at the idea of "being a victim." * If you think of habits and behaviors that are expressing wounds and getting in the way of growth, think of that conditioning like software, and evaluate where and when that software was "installed." * It's okay to have needs in a relationship - not every need is a codependency. *Connect with Sarah:* * Website: www.sarahpoet.com ( http://www.sarahpoet.com ) * Facebook: www.facebook.com/sarahpoetembodiedbreath ( http://www.facebook.com/sarahpoetembodiedbreath ) * Instagram: www.instagram.com/embodiedbreath ( http://www.instagram.com/embodiedbreath ) *COACHING:* Receive personalized, 1:1 coaching from Maddy Moon to create your own feminine and masculine embodiment.

Episode 326: Ready to burn the dating checklist? Madelyn's monthly membership program, Sisu Society, is full of content and interaction beyond the podcast episodes. Each month there's typically two formal calls, and periodic spontaneous Facebook Live videos from Madelyn. This special episode of the podcast is one of those sessions. Inspired by the recent episode featuring Eva Clay, Madelyn candidly discusses some of her dating history and experiences, how it is we make the wrong kinds of "lists" when seeking dating partners, and how to burn the dating checklist and teach ourselves to be open to loving anyone. Show Notes: Sisu Society features group coaching, interacting with members, and typically two calls - sometimes embodiment practices, teachings, sharing circles, guests. There are also spontaneous Facebook Live videos with candid and intimate musings directly from Madelyn - this episode is one of those videos. This episode is a follow-up/sister of the recent Eva Clay episode: maddymoon.com/eva-clay/ Remember to be a kingmaker - don't look for your perfect king. You're going to make him your perfect king (and by making him the king, you become the queen). In the last two weeks Madelyn has been on her first break from Instagram since she joined the site. When Madelyn was dating in apps, her standards and expectations were in the wrong domains. If you base you relationships in openness, honesty, and momentous living, every relationship is a gift. You can still honor and respect the body's urgency while having an open permission people for people to exist as they are.

Episode 325: Amanda Katherine Loy (she/her) — also known on Instagram as that Bisexual Body Positive BRCA babe — is on a mission to help you face your fears, speak your truth and get you one step closer to living your f*ck yes life. She this does in multiple facets, through her work as an actor, a body confidence & mindset coach, podcast host, writer and speaker. Amanda Katherine Loy has a long history of operating solely from a place of shoulds — unconsciously dimming her light and keeping herself small in hopes that it would keep her safe, seen and accepted through a myriad of ways: eating disorder cycles, over exercising, work-aholism, toxic relationships and beyond. Through her own unique journey to liberation, she’s become wildly passionate about arming her fuck yes community with the tools to help them step into their fullest and most authentic selves, so that they can live every day feeling unapologetic AF in their own skin and truly come home to themselves. In 2018, she launched her top charting weekly podcast, Live Your F*ck Yes Life — the space to be for conscious conversations and candid shares around shit nobody really f*cking talks about. And in 2019, she courageously shared her journey of navigating a preventative double mastectomy at the age of 27 in her self published book, I Chopped Off My Tits. She spends most of her time sharing her musings every week over on Instagram and her podcast, so come on over and join in on the magic that is all things living YOUR fuck yes life. Show Notes: Sisu will be changing platforms in the near future - announcement soon in the newsletter. Amanda's book, I Chopped Off My Tits, details her first experience with being bullied and how these experiences affect us into adulthood. - amandakatherineloy.com/book Amanda was married for eight years before they opened their relationship to polyamory. She came out as bisexual two years ago on her podcast. Polygamy - religious practice, usually one man with multiple wives. Polyamory - ethical nonmonagamy, a perspective on how we love. Central to this is the idea that you can choose your best relationship, whether that's polyamory or monogamy. If you're a couple exploring polyamory, it's very important to communicate and treat the "third" with a lot of care. Many people use polyamory as a "loophole" to manipulate and effectively cheat. Polyamory can be like a flashlight on your deepest wounds and insecurities. If you're doing feminine/masculine work, it doesn't necessarily mean your partner needs to be working in that domain. For those thinking of love and relationships in any capacity, ask yourself, "Am I showing up consciously?"

Episode 324: In this episode Madelyn and sexologist Eva Clay discuss modern dating while eternally conscious of the pressures of the biological clock, connection, enchantresses, and keeping your embodiment practice in the fore while seeking a life mate. Eva Clay is an acclaimed sexologist and psychotherapist whose mission is to illuminate the ménage-a-trois of soul, sex and science. She's helped thousands of people unlock their innate potential for pleasure, and as a former professor of neuroscience, she bodaciously reminds us that smart is sexy. Her work is an elegant marriage of the profound and the playful, and has been a practitioner of sexual tantra for over a decade. She’s been featured as an expert in major media appearances, is a regular guest on Channel Q and has appeared as a keynote speaker at the Wanderlust yoga festivals. Show Notes: How to be present on dates when the biological clock is ticking? Women learning about their physiology is incredibly empowering and puts them in mastery. "Ditch the Frame" - Replace, "Could he be the one?" with sensual questions of, "What is the tenor or tone of our exchange? How much pleasure do I experience when sharing space with him?" The "frame" creates contraction and anxiety in the body and dims your radiant light. Men do not want to be interviewed as the "baby daddy." Think of a cervix as you embody your openness and desire in your dress, body language, and communication. When setting up dating profiles, rather than the hard edges of, "I don't want this," or, "I don't like this," instead effusively express that which you love, and he will be magnetized to you. Discernment is okay too - evaluate integrity, frequency and vibration, how you feel when you're around them. Study the great enchantresses like Cleopatra to better practice your energetic gifts in the domain of dating.

Episode 323: All of us are both masculine and feminine beings. Most of us are primarily masculine or primarily feminine, but it's important that we consciously work on balancing the two in ways that work for us. The feminine oracle is a component of a primarily feminine consciousness and body that is aware of and responds to our environments - our intuition. In this episode, originally aired on the High Vibin' It podcast, Madelyn discusses the feminine oracle, our inner compass, the Heroine's Journey, and so much more. Show Notes: The masculine is the necessary "containers" and structure we create psychologically. The feminine is what's in the "containers." Sometimes we have to consciously ground the feminine or bring softness to the masculine. Expanding your feminine awareness includes looking at when you're telling yourself the same story to "prove it's right." A lot of our responses that we assume are mental/emotional actually do exist in the nervous system. It's important to include the body in spiritual work. A primarily feminine body has a "compass" - the oracle. This is the hyper-aware (but often not consciously expressed) part of us that responds to discord in our environments. This response is all-encompassing, even physical. In the Heroine's Journey there's a rejection of the feminine that has to happen, and some don't come out of it. A practice to ground: place your hand on your chest when you're speaking and feel the vibration of your words - connects the "two nervous systems."

Episode 322:  Empath and narcissist - such profoundly relevant terms in today's world. Regardless of personal beliefs on the existence of empaths (those with a paranormal ability to apprehend the mental and emotional state of another person) it can be dangerous to one's own emotional state to assume feelings experienced are the result of being an empath, versus one's own emotions. In this episode Madelyn explores the overlap of empath and narcissist, with a deep case study of The Bachelorette for good measure. Show Notes: Madelyn's life has been a bit transient since her last personal update. The uncertainty of her ungrounded situated also resulted in some physical manifestations/health consequences. Reviewing the podcast on various platforms is the best way to support and get the podcast higher on the listings: iTunes: https://maddymoon.com/itunes Spotify: https://maddymoon.com/spotify YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MaddyMoonTV Empath definition: "A person with the paranormal ability to apprehend the mental or emotional state of another person." Ascribing your deep feelings to a self-identity as an empath may be an exhibition of poor mental self-care. Externalizing the root cause of emotions may be deflecting real self-actualization that has to happen. Madelyn walks through an extensive breakdown of The Bachelorette and the expression of these interactions, and projecting your own feelings onto others and label it being an "empath." True empathy is not about making others' experiences about you being able to feel what they feel. Madelyn has experience with someone she was raised with who considered themselves to be an empath. Red flags are using emotions to control others: "You made me feel this way." "You don't really care about me."

Episode 321: A teacher, mystic and poet, Richard Rudd attended Edinburgh University where he gained a Master’s degree in literature and metaphysics. A born explorer, he has studied with great teachers in the East, traveled through the Himalayas, the Pacific, the Americas and the Arctic. He worked in the film industry in Australia, trained as a teacher of Chi Kung and meditation in Thailand, and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a small yacht. Throughout his adventures Richard Rudd has explored his love of writing and in 2006 he won the FISH international poetry award in Ireland. Richard's mystical journey began early in life as he experienced strange energies rushing throughout his body. This catalysed his spiritual search. All his studies became synthesised in 2002 when he began to write and receive the Gene Keys - a vast synthesis exploring the miraculous possibilities inherent in human DNA. It took 7 years to write the book and understand its teachings and applications. Today Richard continues to study and teach the profound lessons contained in the Gene Keys. In this episode Madelyn and Richard discuss relationship polarity, the Gene Keys, and the new Venus Sequence retreat event.

It requires courage, as it requires you to consider your own patterns of wounding. The ideas that there's a perfect kind of relationship/person is a myth. The Law of Unseen Grace: We always get the exact relationship that we need, exactly the one that's in front of us. Everything about our evolution happens in sequences. You attract people to you through frequencies. Some of the loneliest people on the planet are in relationships. Over time and relationships, we're essentially learning to parent ourselves, learning to take care of our own hearts. Every relationship has its teaching for us. Romantic-centric relationships thrive on separation and distance, and the chemistry often doesn't work with proximity. The Divine Venus Deep Dive "retreat" will have a weekly theme. Around two hours a week, perhaps 20 minutes at a time. It's over such an extended period of time because they are many small steps that take time to process. This may be the last time Richard personally runs the Venus Sequence himself, as there's other subjects he has to cover as well.

Episode 320: Dominick Quartuccio is the co-host of The Great Man Within Podcast, a show for high-performing men exploring the realms of Purpose, Masculinity and Sex. He leads two online men's communities, The Great Man Mastermind & The Great Man Within Facebook Group (links below the show notes). He is also an international speaker and two-time author of Design Your Future and On Purpose Leadership. His mission is to lead 10 million men to live their potential over the next 10 years. Dominick is a favorite repeat guest on Mind Body Musings, and it's easy to see why when you hear him speak. He advocates a thoughtful masculinity and, like Madelyn, is dedicating to helping people achieve masculine/feminine balance, both as an individual and in interactions with partners. In this special Q&A episode Madelyn and Dominick answer your submitted questions, particularly focused on ways to evaluate and handle when masculine/feminine may be out of sync with expectations in a relationship. Show Notes: On Sunday, October 18, 2020 at 5:00 PM Pacific, Dominick and Madelyn will be doing a group practice in Sisu Society.

There can be a sense of shame around being "too nice" or being emasculated. You can channel your enthusiasm to evoke masculine leadership in your partner. This allows you both to "lead." Relationships can evolve, and the masculine/feminine dynamic and balance can shift over time. When you make statements like, "Be a man," you have basically told him that he's not one, and when he's not one, he feels emasculated and shameful. An analogue to, "Be a man," might be a man telling a woman she's crazy or too sensitive.

Episode 319: All too often we frame our work with masculine/feminine in the context of conflict, suggesting that one has to "win" to achieve peace. The reality is that it's absolutely necessary to strengthen your inner masculine, in order to support your feminine and move forward as a whole integrated being. In this episode, Madelyn discusses ways to strengthen your inner masculine, why it's important, the symbiotic roles masculine and feminine play in our growth and challenges, and some of the root causes of conflict between them. This originally aired as an episode of Georgie Collinson's Anxiety Reset Podcast. Show Notes: The feminine/masculine discussion that's happening on social media is often missing the mark. It's not about glorifying softness, surrender, going with the flow. It's about embracing wild chaotic energies. Both men and women have both been raised in this wounded masculine society, and it's damaged men and women (and their respective feminine/masculine) differently. David Deida is a strong foundation of Madelyn's masculine/feminine work: The Way of the Superior Man - https://amzn.to/2SASai9 Blue Truth - https://amzn.to/36Baujn Dear Lover - https://amzn.to/3jF9H4r Wild Nights - https://amzn.to/2GNYHmI The masculine is the part that doesn't and hasn't changed. It's the riverbed that the river of the feminine flows through. The masculine drive for peace wants to be free of burden. The feminine drive for peace is self-acceptance. It's crucial to put our masculine to the forefront even when working with the feminine: "Warriors with a strong spine and a soft heart." The Heroine's Journey by Maureen Murdock - https://amzn.to/3d5FokZ Women's arc or journey includes shoving away the feminine, "rejecting their mother." Therefore she gravitates to the father, and so the father determines a lot of how she evaluates her success as she gets older.

Episode 318: Through the endless striving for a balanced and healthy physical and spiritual life, the greatest challenge for women to identify, embrace, and work with their feminine yearning to be filled, recognizing the divine calling of that yearning, while acknowledging and honoring the more prosaic day-to-day "neediness" without belittling ourselves for it. Everything exists on a spectrum, and physical or lower-vibration anxious feminine longing is simply a different part of a continuum that includes and is encompassed by divine, archetypal feminine longing. In this episode Madelyn details a recent intense plant medicine experience that brought her in touch with the full spectrum of that yearning, its resolution, and recovery in its aftermath. Show Notes: Feminine longing is the deepest state that the feminine knows - the state of wanting. There is a difference between the actions of flow (practical, logistical flexibility) and the embodiment of flow (true psychic acuity). Book: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, MD - https://amzn.to/2FCb98Q Tuning into the nervous systems of those around you can help open you to the impact you have on others. "It's not your coach's job to please you; it's their job to serve you." This means that sometimes their job may be to convey something to you that doesn't "land" or resonate. Madelyn had a threshold plant medicine experience recently that brought her further into her feminine than she's ever been. The experience moved through feral, animal, even feminine with a visit from the Magdalena archetype. There was an intense comedown the next day - she felt she had not properly prepared her body. Even the female body is the physical embodiment of a drive to be filled. Feminine longing can sometimes be dark, because you miss people, connection, comfort. Filling your yearning is your responsibility, your dharma. Madelyn recently led a practice to work with this longing. The intent is not to circumvent the longing, but move through it and into a divine sphere with it - divine longing.

Episode 317: A big life change is the perfect time for a road trip, either solo or with the right companion. Even if spend a lot of non-directed time and aren't focused on the destination, the act of the trip itself is a birthing journey into the next phase of your life. In this episode Madelyn reviews the spiritual, psychological, and logistical details of her trip, reviews how to road trip effectively, and following the universe's invitation to find yourself in the unknown. Show Notes: Madelyn ended her recent relationship and knew that it was time to head to Los Angeles. Episode 318 covers working through the actual decision of the move. maddymoon.com/paralyzed-by-decision/ If your body continually questions, "Can I make this work?" it's a good cue that it isn't naturally working. "Staying past that point was dismissing my body's 'no.'" Always solicit and listen to feedback from your support network - remember that you aren't "crazy" when you have a dozen different perspectives from a dozen different people.

Episode 316: From coronavirus to politics and civil unrest and the fight for social justice, this year is proving to be a challenging time of change and transition for everyone, Madelyn included. If you find yourself paralyzed by decision in trying to determine the path you're meant to be on, it's important to be aware of what your body is telling you. In this episode Madelyn uses the closure of her relationship as a context to explore these choices, how to avoid being paralyzed by decision, and how each big choice is really a decision on what you're willing to sacrifice. Show Notes: Madelyn has left her recent partnership. One of biggest fears people have when faced with important decisions is, "Will I regret this?" Remember a past difficult decision, and consider whether you regret the decision you've made. Her living situation had forced her to surrender autonomy. Relationship was two Omegas together, two emotional beings. Identifying when we're given trials we're meant to walk through, versus trials where we're meant to pivot. The decision point was around surrendering much of what Maddy wanted, versus honoring the relationship and moving on to what's next. When considering the idea of staying, she could feel her body contract, and she knew it wasn't right to surrender to that. The experience has refined Madelyn's clarity on what she wants out of a relationship.

It brought him in touch with an awareness of his destiny. Richard took years to understand and integrate the experience he had, eventually resulting in the Gene Keys!. "Humanity has built itself on the higher truths, without realizing." "To really access deep veins of truth, you cannot rush. You've got to be loving. You've got to be gentle. You've got to romance wisdom. A Gene Key represents an encyclopedia of an aspect of consciousness, encoded in all things. "Each Gene Key gives us the opportunity to rephrase the language of a life." As long as you've found yourself with someone who is essentially kind at their core, allow yourself to "dig your well" deeply with that person. "Two people coming together is an alchemical cauldron." "Someone who provokes you is a really wonderful gift." "The divine isn't cruel. The divine wants you to see the fruits of your labor." Many spiritually minded people operate with the assumption/wish that this is their "last life," but often that's more reflective of the fact that they're not particularly enjoying this life. Philosophically one's "last life" would be incredibly ecstatic and joyful, so the challenge is to see the opportunity and identify what's left to be done. "There's a perfection in every moment." Richard believes that the next epoch of humanity will not be based in suffering, but bliss. It's important to do the work to understand suffering (shadow). Richard believes we may retain memory between births in the next phase of our evolution. Béla Hamvas: "Drink, and the wine will take care of the rest."

Episode 314: Emotional and psychological abuse from our past can manifest in insidious ways throughout our lives, frequently in the form of consciously or unconsciously perpetuating that psychological abuse in our current relationships. In this episodes Madelyn explores how trauma from her upbringing has impacted how she approaches relationships today, whether her own, or through her relationship work that she practices with others. Show Notes: Relationships are Madelyn's "playground." It's important to define relationships through communication. It is not "needy" to have a desire for this identification. A lot of men have lost touch with the communication and check-in type of leadership. You can leverage the feminine to guide into conversations about relationship state or definition. Lead not with the complaint, but with the desire. One of the most dangerous places we get ourselves into is when we say we're okay with something, but then more passively punishing our partners for it. This punishment, such as withholding love, is actually abusive. In October Madelyn's parents had an argument resulting in a quick divorce. Madelyn is still working on how to appropriately share her story about her relationship and experiences with her parents. Madelyn's sense of emotions and love was very distorted growing up. These interactions caused Madelyn's interest in and dedication to relationships. Book: Attached by Amir Levine - https://amzn.to/3hYEBUg Madelyn's attachment style tends to adjust itself depending on the attachment style of her partner. The living situation with the Airstream was mirroring the lack of agency and control from her childhood. Recently Madelyn and her partner have taken steps to restore her sense of sovereignty. You do not need anything outside of you to have sovereignty. Inner Child work is about actually going into your Inner Child trauma, letting it arise, and being there for it.

Episode 313: It can be difficult to navigate the delicate nuance of balancing conscious masculine energy with thoughtfulness and consideration for your partner's (and your own) feminine energy. Men lose credibility with women often through not be present to the needs of their partners. Join Madelyn as she discusses the ways men lose credibility with the women in their lives, as a guest on Dominick Quartuccio's & Bryan Stacy's The Great Man Within Podcast. Show Notes: The Great Man Within Podcast can be found here: https://www.doinnerwork.com/podcast Bryan & Dominick focus on spiritualizing healthy divine masculinity in proper balance with the feminine. This episode about things men can do to make women feel safe was in their top five of all podcast episodes. Dominic was on the podcast, Episode 283: Making Your Love Darker and Your Goals Lighter - maddymoon.com/dominick-quartuccio A free companion PDF to this episode is available - maddymoon.com/freegift The five ways men lose credibility: Hesitation, a man who wants to lead and is a little bit afraid. If her belief is that she can't trust the masculine, to prove her wrong, do it with fervor. Don't ignore her concerns - listen and hear. Lead strongly and with conviction. Lack of integrity on what you can and cannot handle. Make the space for yourself and your needs, so that you can fulfill those needs and be present when you're with your partner. Not following through. If you have wounds about someone not being there when you needed it are so easily reopened by not being available when you are needed, but conversely can also be healed by simply being present. Respect both your time and the time of your partner. Failing to go unconscious in transitions. The moment your bodies are no longer connected after sex, can your keep your spiritual connection? Defending yourself rather than listening to her. The feminine has been shushed, poked, prodded, limited, beaten, sold, raped, separated, mutilated, and silenced since the beginning of humankind. When you listen to her and start to change the paradigm of how these interactions go, you are healing the feminine." When you partner is presenting you with a complaint, search for where they are right.

Episode 312: George Lizos is a spiritual teacher, intuitive, author of Be the Guru and the #1 bestselling Lightworkers Gotta Work, co-creator of Elemental Healing™ and host of The Lit Up Lightworker podcast. He helps lightworkers to find their life purpose and work their light in real, palpable ways that create positive change in the world.   Show Notes: Watch this episode on YouTube!  https://www.youtube.com/maddymoontv It can be difficult to avoid feelings of persecution in environments like the current pandemic. Ask, “What does my inner child need? What am I responsible for to get out of this situation and get my autonomy back?” George wears a crown as a touchpoint to step into his feminine energy.  His default is acting from masculine energy, always pushing forward. The crowns can be a way of signaling and setting intention. His book Lightworkers Gotta Work - https://georgelizos.com/lightwork Purpose is to help lightworkers to balance their masculine and feminine energies. George was raised in Cyprus a very religious Christian environment. He struggled with the big questions of life from a young age, convinced something was wrong with him, and tried to gain acceptance by trying to match himself to people’s expectations. Homosexuality was still taboo when he realized he was gay at age 13. He responded by trying to “become” straight, hyper-aware of his behaviors. He contemplated suicide, including writing a note to his parents.   As soon as he made the decision to do so and “let go,” the solution became clear: Learn to love yourself exactly as you are.   "Something magical happens when you declare to the universe that you want to change: the universe comes in to support you." Through spirituality George learned self-love, eventually leading to writing his first book. This led to a busy, pushed, masculine lifestyle that was causing mental and physical distress. He did a past-life regression and discovered he had been a prostitute that was murdered by a client, causing him to suppress his feminine energy in future lives. Masculine and feminine energies are two sides of the same coin, so focusing completely on one abuses/ignores the other. Sex, Gender, Sexuality, and Energy Sex is biological; gender is social; sexuality is biological; energy flow within all these domains. Women tend have more feminine energy than men, and men tend to have more masculine energy than women, but it’s really aspects of the same thing that runs through all of us. Same-sex relationships can be challenging with this energy balance. Connecting with nature can help us rebalance our own energy that’s confounded by social/psychological issues. Nature emulates masculine and feminine without social labels through the energy of the seasons. “Bathing under cosmic light” to balance masculine/feminine.  Light from sun, moon, and stars is a reflection of our own inner light. The moon’s essence itself feminine energy; sun is masculine.  Moonlight is the balance of the two - the combination of the surface of the moon and light from the sun. Coaching and creating coaches should be difficult and focused on improving the world, not creating a sales downstream. Many coaches don’t have a clear sense on their “why,” their purpose. George reviews his life purpose, which he has written and posted so he sees it every single day (the who, what, how, why). The universe will support you, but there is work for us to put in, and it all starts with understanding our purpose.

Episode 311: The global pandemic has resulted in many of us having to share our spaces with difficult triggering family members who may be activating the “old you” within us - aspects of ourselves or collections of behaviors that we associate with past trauma, or that we feel are holding us back. In this solo episode Madelyn explores the deep spiritual and psychological implications surrounding this dynamic, and offers tools and perspectives to reframe these interactions in the context of acceptance (both of ourselves and others) and how to use them to create and grow.   Show Notes:   Gene Keys by Richard Rudd - https://amzn.to/2VRzs7R World is embodying Gene Key 55 at this moment. All Gene Keys have "Shadow" (dark side) and "City" (light side/gift). Gene Key 55: Victimhood/Freedom This Gene Key also relates to the current White fragility The idea that anytime you are in the shadow, you are playing the role of victimhood is not always accurate. How to keep a high vibe with a low-vibe family? How to cope with a close relative who treats you like the "old version"? There is no old version of the self - false duality. There are aspects of ourselves that we shift between, and sometimes they will be ones that were more prevalent in the past. “We go into victimhood to prove that we're existing." We can acknowledge our traumas and experiences without them becoming self-defining. Sovereignty, agency, and self-determination is important - i.e. having your own place, domain. The benefits are exponential - the space creates more time to create, which creates more opportunity to pay for the space. Start with the question, "How is this affecting me?" We all have people in our lives that will reveal old versions of ourselves. Most important: You cannot control these triggering people and how they view you. You can only control your reaction. Disconnect from needing validation from those people. Being more aware and curious about what your "old you" is asking for or needing in those moments, and seek to provide it. "You do not have to hold everyone who is biological family as energetic family."   COACHING: receive personalized, 1:1 coaching from Maddy Moon to create your own feminine and masculine embodiment.

Episode 309: Jedaya Barboza is a Tantric Shemite ROSE WOMB PRIESTESS OF THE DIVINE FEMININE. She empowers women to reclaim their birthrights of divinity, love, pleasure, harmony, sensuality, magnetism, and sovereignty through the ancient codes of the Magdalen Rose Womb Consciousness. Jedaya provides 1:1 mentorship, online and live retreats + facilitate workshops, trainings and courses. Show Notes: Madelyn will be posting videos of interviews to YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/maddymoontv Struggled with sharing YouTube channel because of old videos, asked her teacher if she should take them down. It's okay to not always resonate with your past selves, don't suppress or repress parts of yourself. It's Pussy Awareness Week! Connecting with Divine Feminine Energy is very potent during these times. Jedaya grew up with a very empowered woman, but she was also very religious. Felt Christinity was a cover for her deep inner witch embodiment, like a veil. Sex magick is largely being in the energy, not just penetration or actual literal sex. Everyone comes into the world through the energy of sexuality. No outside force or entity has the power to depress me, suppress me, oppress me. Jedaya works to help people transmute their stories and their trauma into empowerment. Sessions with Jedaya are about feeling seen, being heard, connecting with our true origins of self. When you suppress the feminine energy, you suppress life. Magdalene is an energy that any feminine or masculine soul can embody. There's been a "war on the womb" for centuries. More and more women are waking up and honoring their own states, being priestesses. Jedaya's path brought her to so many places in the world with so much beauty, and also so much abuse. Being a priestess is sacred responsibility. You have to meet that name by respecting it.

Episode 309: In many ways the Internet has democratized the spread of ideas and given everyone a platform and a voice. Inevitably there will be times when we won't agree with these voices and opinions, and when that disagreement is shared publicly by others, "cancel culture" can easily develop, where large groups of people collectively pull support, usually centered around a controversial statement, pattern of behavior, or things in the past. In this episode Madelyn explores the distinction between standing up for our values, and the Ego-driven need for separation.   Show Notes:   Spotify and here on the website are the most reliable places to get the newest episodes of the Mind Body Musings Podcast - iTunes not always as reliable. Free will, trauma, judgement, greed, natural shortcomings interfere with our creative drive to create "heaven on Earth." Cancel culture: something happens that causes one to completely shut out a public figure they once respected. Cancel culture can be a way we skip over the hard work of compassion. Madelyn frequently gets contacted by followers communicating expectations that she has more of a social responsibility to use her platform in certain ways to spread awareness/calls to action. When you're in the public eye, when you're wrong, it's publicly wrong. Participation in cancel culture may be rooted not in altruism or enlightenment, but Ego, which thrives on separation. What is one moment in your life that learned something that you didn't know before that made you realize you needed to change your ways? What if that moment of yours was public? Evaluating whether your convictions are really coming from yourself, or absorbed via someone else's opinion in a comment. None of these ideas are intended to dismiss anyone's personal feelings, but an ask for broader awareness and gentleness. Ask permission before engaging in a dialogue, even with friends - when people say yes to something, they are no longer on the defense. Richard Rudd - The Gene Keys - https://amzn.to/2VFUAy3 In every Gene Key there is a light and a dark. Gene Key 30: Light is humility; darkness is arrogance. In the Bible Judas is known as the betrayer. What if that was his role and was so devoted to God that he was willing to embrace the role?   COACHING: receive personalized, 1:1 coaching from Maddy Moon to create your own feminine and masculine embodiment.

Episode 308: It can be extremely challenging to let go of control (in a healthy way) and the need for everything to be according to a strict plan. It's even more challenging to let the future unfold in these uncertain and turbulent times. The feminine/masculine spheres of control and surrender are not as simple as "feminine yielding" and "masculine control" - there is feminine control and masculine control, just as there is masculine yielding and feminine yielding. Show Notes: As an introvert, is finding it healthier to be in nature vs. in Brooklyn. It took trust to be led into a new living situation without a plan. If you struggle with being led, this is an invitation to notice how often you feel your heartspace tighten around a plan. What if you viewed your life as it time didn't exist? Let go of the idea of anything being final and live on a moment-to-moment basis. "When we start making promises about the future, we severely tighten the corset on life." What could be around the corner could be better. The masculine within you is the part that says, "I trust myself so deeply to get myself out of any mess, so I can say yes without diving deeper." Disempowered feminine: "I can't make plans. Plans are too hard for me. Can you make the plans for me?" or "I have to make all the plans. I can't trust anyone to do it." It's important to be both spiritual and relatable - balance of masculine-grounded/feminine-ethereal.

You can practice with smaller things, like plans with friends, dates, etc. Eventually the practice will extend to bigger-picture events and decisions.

Episode 307: Mary Magdalene, one of the most important individuals in Christianity, is also one of the most misunderstood. Her powerful femininity and significance in Jesus's stories and teachings have been undermined for over a thousand years. Join Madelyn as she explores the teachings of Mary Magdalene, the Apostle to the Apostles, not the prostitute, in the context of today's feminist reawakening and her own Christian upbringing.

Recommended Reading: Mary Magdalene Revealed by Megan Watterson - https://amzn.to/2zR4gOn Gospel of Mary of Magdala by Karen King - https://amzn.to/2AvvObO The Meaning of Mary Magdalene by Cynthia Bourgeault - https://amzn.to/3gA2DoR The Magdalen Manuscript - Tom Kenyon - https://amzn.to/2Aufvfn Six key areas for context: Mary was not a prostitute Book of Mary omitted from Bible Six pages missing, four pages in the middle missing Seven powers she highlights - egoic parts of human nature We are inherently good. Jesus was both fully divine and fully human Not a prostitute - declaration that she was came from Pope Gregory to undermine her teaching, and undermined women's capacity to be leaders. In 1969 the Catholic Church apologized for the fabrication. The path that Mary carves for us is that every single human being has the voice of the angels, and the voice of God, the voice of the Divine within themselves. The books omitted from the Bible focus on a personal connection with God not requiring an intermediary. It's our journey to believe in our truths. It's not our job to force other people to believe in these truths. Allow others to disagree with you. Seven powers that must be attained to ascend: darkness, craving, ignorance, longing for death, compulsion of range, enslavement to physical body, and the false peace of the flesh. These powers are not meant to be destroyed or obliterated. The path of love is that we're devoted to having this ascension within ourselves, which is actually a descent into the heart. What made Jesus who he was, was the fact that he we fully human and fully divine. Jesus honored his sex as a potent life force. Peter doubts Mary, that she was given teachings they were not.

Jesus was both fully divine and fully human Not a prostitute - declaration that she was came from Pope Gregory to undermine her teaching, and undermined women's capacity to be leaders. In 1969 the Catholic Church apologized for the fabrication. The path that Mary carves for us is that every single human being has the voice of the angels, and the voice of God, the voice of the Divine within themselves. The books omitted from the Bible focus on a personal connection with God not requiring an intermediary. It's our journey to believe in our truths. It's not our job to force other people to believe in these truths. Allow others to disagree with you. Seven powers that must be attained to ascend: darkness, craving, ignorance, longing for death, compulsion of range, enslavement to physical body, and the false peace of the flesh. These powers are not meant to be destroyed or obliterated. The path of love is that we're devoted to having this ascension within ourselves, which is actually a descent into the heart. What made Jesus who he was, was the fact that he we fully human and fully divine. Jesus honored his sex as a potent life force. Peter doubts Mary, that she was given teachings they were not.

Episode 306: Relationships are complicated even when the partners are open and honest with each other - let alone if there is emotional abuse, manipulation, and secrets - like finding out your boyfriend had a wife and three kids. This episode is an intimate and revealing conversation Madelyn had on Julie Day's podcast, I Woke Up Like This. Together they explore Madelyn's experience of discovering a former boyfriend had a wife and kids - while they were dating. Come for the dramatic story - leave with the insights on love, trust, communication, and the transformative power of trauma. Show notes: Interview on I Woke Up Like This Podcast - Julie Day - thejulieday.com/i-woke-up-like-this.html The first Sisu Society call has happened - a big success! - maddymoon.com/sisu-society The Prerequisites to Ecstasy - amazon.com/Prerequisites-Ecstasy-No-Nonsense-Really-Create At the time this happened, Maddy wasn't questioning and second guessing quite as much. Was completely in masculine side, but disembodied, dissociated from feelings. Everything was a "checklist." Maddy and this person met on a dating app. Relationship was turbulent from the start. Coping with manipulative gaslighting behaviors with self-doubt and needs avoidance. Found out about wife and kids accidentally via Facebook. "If you had not found out the truth, you would have had the relationship you wanted." Marriage - wanting to feel safe and have needs met. Marriage is commoditized, particularly in America. "This is something for me to learn how to love." All knowledge of attachment styles was born in this relationship Book: "Attached" - https://amzn.to/2oyre0R When you break a bone, you can go to the doctor, but there aren't necessarily such tools easily apparent in traumatic breakups. We only learn to navigate attachment trauma with tenderness towards ourselves with experience. Any future similar situation can now be informed by this. Goal for all human beings, especially women, is this idea and lifestyle of sovereignty. When we say yes to love, we also say yes to heartbreak. From victimhood to empowerment. If you're always a victim every time darkness happens, you're not going to be able to get to that place of new life. The relationship wasn't love; it was addiction. The experience helped Maddy discover key components of her core self. Every single feeling is sacred. Every single emotion is a teacher. Be unconditionally friendly to even the parts of yourself that are uncomfortable. COACHING: receive personalized, 1:1 coaching from Maddy Moon to create your own feminine and masculine embodiment.

Episode 305: Mike Johnson is from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada where he started a career at a young age as a recording and touring musician with his band Shyne Factory and later Shelter with Thieves. He worked in festival and stage management, video and music production and he owned and operated a music studio. Mike suffered from severe depression starting in his early teens and his "rock-star" lifestyle easily led him to alcohol abuse and eventually a very serious drug addiction . In 2013 Mike hit a rock bottom and decided enough is enough. He admitted himself to a 1 year intake addiction treatment program in Edmonton Canada called “Our House” where he dedicated his life to healing and learning everything about addiction and concurrent diseases. After losing his best friend to an overdose, Mike saw how insufficient the western treatments alone are, and became laser focused on finding more effective ways to help himself and other addicts truly heal. In his research, he came across Dr. Gabor Mates' work treating addiction patients with Ayahuasca. In 2015 Mike packed his bags and headed to Peru for 3 months to work with Ayahuasca and began dieting master plants in the Shipibo tradition. He continued working with Ayahuasca in Canada and Peru and in January 2017 his path led him to the Ayahuasca Foundation 10 week curandero initiation course where he found his place and his life purpose as a healer. Today, Mike Johnson can be found facilitating plant medicine ceremonies, offering pre-ceremony intention sessions as well as post-ceremony integration. He continues to be a creative being by writing music, connecting with nature and helping people find their healing path. Show notes: This is a special episode with Madelyn's partner Mike Johnson. Turn your pain into your passion. Turn your mess into your message. New monthly membership program - Sisu Society - maddymoon.com/sisu-society Two lessons per month exclusively on FB Live for members & access to community and connection. Feminine grit is required to be a feminine being. "Be a broken record for love." Mike's most consistent muse in life is music. Focused on recording and touring with a successful band, but a part of him was unhappy and lifestyle led into addiction. Mike finally sought help and went to a treatment center. Mike needed more than medications prescribed as an easy "fix" to addiction. After his friend passed away in treatment, Mike discovered plant medicine and Dr. Gabor Mates's work bringing patients to Peru to work with Ayahuasca. Every plant has a spirit. Every plant has light, and every plant has dark. Plant diets establish a relationship with these plants. "No one is flawed. It's just part of your journey to figure out these things you need to get through." Ayahuasca is a diagnostic tool and requires guidance and participation - cleaning the body. Experiences are so different from person to person. Anything worthwhile in life that has light, comes with shadow. Madelyn's relationship with Ayahuasca wasn't able to develop until she had an experience of darkness with it. You can hear Madelyn further discuss her Ayahuasca experience with Will Siu: maddymoon.com/will-siu/ Challenges and difficulties performing with bands on stage were like training for the ceremony space. When considering Ayahuasca ceremony, Madelyn discovered it was important to be heart-centered and have help in integration sessions to truly process the healing.
