Dive deep into the art of embracing change and spiritual renewal with Vanessa Codorníu, the modern-day Biz Bruja, in an evocative episode that signals the arrival of Spring Equinox. In this soulful session, Vanessa weaves together ancestral wisdom, intuition, and the importance of joy and self-care amidst our ever-evolving lives. This episode is a gentle reminder to recognize and shed what no longer serves us, to rekindle our inner magic, and to plant the seeds of new beginnings as the daylight grows longer and the world around us blossoms anew. Vanessa touches on the significance of the Spring Equinox, a time of equal day and night that heralds longer days and serves as a natural point for cleansing and rebirth. As we transition from the emotional depths of Pisces season into the pioneering spirit of Aries, she encourages listeners to reflect on what needs releasing and how to initiate growth in their lives. She invites everyone to partake in spring cleaning, not just of physical spaces but of the mind and spirit, using simple rituals and nature's cyclical guidance to rejuvenate and recalibrate for the year ahead. Listeners are treated to Vanessa's recount of her transformative spring equinox retreat, an experience that affirms the need for community, nature communion, and the joyous celebration of storytelling. The episode plants the seeds of self-care as an act of resistance and an essential key in building resilience to support broader societal healing. Vanessa's musings serve as a heartfelt call to nourish the soul and to embrace this season of renewal with an open heart and a playful spirit. The Spring Equinox is an ancestral and culturally celebrated period of balance, renewal, and preparation for growth, a powerful time for personal and spiritual cleansing.   Embracing the lessons from the Pisces season and the proactive energy of Aries encourages personal release and initiation of new endeavors.   Self-care, especially during turbulent times, is crucial for maintaining the ability to advocate and contribute to societal healing and support.   Engaging in simple rituals, such as cleansing baths, can serve as effective practices for renewing the mind, body, and spirit.   Vanessa's personal experience of hosting a spring equinox retreat underscores the significance of community, storytelling, and the arts, such as dance and theater, in fostering joy and holistic growth.

In this deep and enlightening conversation, Vanessa Codorniu engages Yaqui Rodriguez in a discussion about spirituality, healing, and ancestral wisdom. The episode illuminates the non-linear journey of self-discovery and the embodiment of spiritual practices into everyday life. Yaqui Rodriguez shares her upbringing drawing from folk Catholicism where spiritual practices were normalized in day-to-day life. Continuing the narrative, Yaqui elaborates on her spiritual awakening around her mid-20s, leading her to explore various belief systems and subsequently face life's challenges. Finding Kundalini yoga and integrating personal healing experiences into her path, Yaqui emphasizes the importance of aligning with one's self. The conversation also touches on breaking ancestral patterns, embracing ancestral gifts, and the concept of healing justice, as defined by Kara Page, highlighting the holistic response to generational trauma and oppression. Takeaways: The journey to spiritual awakening and healing is non-linear, individualized, and can involve various explorations and struggles.   Ancestral patterns, such as martyrdom and people-pleasing, can be recognized and broken to embrace a life of self-worth and alignment with personal values.   Mediumship and other ancestral spiritual gifts can be reclaimed and integrated into one's life after overcoming fear and societal stigma.   Healing justice addresses the impact of oppression on bodies, hearts, and minds, connecting individuals to their ancestral lineage and holistic healing practices.   Investing in oneself is an essential step towards spiritual development and realizing one's full potential. BIO: Yaqui is the descendant of farmers and folk healers from the central mountain region in the Dominican Republic.

Hola mi Gente! I felt called to record another episode on the fly LOL on the Moon in Gemini! I just took a request from IG from Heiddi and just recorded an episode that I hope you enjoy! * Please note that on the podcast I said the Spanish Inquisition started 1300s but its official start is listed as  1478. Heretics were targeted since 1022 in France. Even though the clergy and judges in the Middle Ages were skeptical of accusations of witchcraft, the period 1300–30 can be seen as the beginning of witch trials.*  In this episode of the Biz Bruja Podcast, Vanessa Codorniu discusses what it's like to be a "baby Bruja" in your forties and how to release fear. She explains the concept of Brujeria and its connection to Latin American and Caribbean cultures. Vanessa shares her personal journey of growing up in a South American home that embraced mystical practices and how she reclaimed the term "Bruja" as a way to honor her ancestral lineage. She emphasizes the importance of balancing spirituality with practicality and entrepreneurship. Vanessa also provides guidance for those who are just starting to explore their spirituality later in life, encouraging them to embrace their age and wisdom, define their own path, and trust their intuition.   Key Takeaways: Reclaiming your Bruja-ness in your forties allows you to bring your life experiences and wisdom into your magical practice. Understanding that our spirituality and psychic abilities will not keep us from loss, death, illness, betrayal and the usual human experiences.

Excited to share a beautiful guide and healer, a client that I've gotten to know in the process of months, someone that truly walks their talk, please welcome- Johanna Benavides!   Johanna shares her journey from her first real job in anti-sex-trafficking where she was exposed to self-care and yoga through work wellness programs.    How Johanna experienced self-doubt and going in her head during the first yoga classes and how that led her to understand that her body needed healing.   How she started chasing that shavasana (final resting pose in yoga)  feeling of releasing stress and leaning into physical practice.   Connecting with her spiritual self through the physical practice of yoga and meditation.   Being pregnant during the pandemic and how she managed stress, fear and anxiety.   Getting past the fear of asking for help, the stigma of therapy and the myth that we're supposed to “do it all on our own.”    Johanna shares insights on how to get support for yourself if you feel that you're family may not be supportive.    The importance of not settling when looking for a therapist.   The energy of “aguantar” or “putting up” with things that translates into people pleasing.   How Johanna's dreams guided her to cacao and to many realizations.   Her first retreat in 2022 allowed her to connect with self-love and the land of Mexico in deeper ways.   Johanna's deep connection to her grandmother and her dreams.   How as Latinx and BIPOC are still holding back from owning their intuitive knowledge and other soul gifts.   Johanna shares what people would be experiencing on her Luna Goddess retreat- leaning into rest, relaxation, sound healing, yoga, community and empowerment photoshoots and on her  Self-Love Retreat we explore all the ways in which we can love ourselves and receive pleasure in our lives.   The addition of belly dance with Jannelle Cortes and the joy in connecting with our bodies.   Capturing the magic of what happens on the Self-Love retreat in an 8 week course that Johanna is creating!    The importance of Mother Nature and connecting to earth.   The ancestral patterns that needed healing around visibility and being afraid to be seen. Checking off the boxes of: What do my parents need me to be?    Learning and putting it into action and how that has helped Johanna grow.  Breaking the  martyr pattern, releasing guilt and shame around nourishing ourselves! Leaning into gifts through hypnosis healing and connecting with Ancestors and then receiving validation through a family photo!    Syay tuned and follow Johanna! She has a free event coming up 8/27!

Dancer, Dreamer and a Wanderer: Jannelle Cortes Founder of GrooveTrips and GrooveFit I can barely sit still as I listen to this episode! BEYOND excited to share someone that I personally know and love very much!  Please welcome, a multi-passionate, multi-talented entrepreneur, dancer, creative and leader, Jannelle Cortes. I've known this creative powerhouse since 2005, have studied various styles of dance with her and have traveled with her to Egypt and the Dominican Republic! We met in 2005, when I was manifesting the best belly dance teacher at New York Sports Club in NYC and we (all the shimmy sisters) followed her everywhere, borough to borough just to dance with her! We've traveled from borough to borough and country to country as she expanded GrooveFit to GrooveTrips guiding people to trips such as Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Egypt and more! Many of us, including yours truly, were in her Middle Eastern cardio dance workout video, “ The Belly Dance Workout for Every Body!” She's a passionate, generous and beautiful being whose soul has guided to so many spaces, places and countries to support community, create community and share the magic of dance, culture and connection.    Early beginnings, from Baile del Perrito to Ballet, she shares “Ballet was my Yoga.”   Dance was not something anyone thought she would pursue full-time and she entered her Fordham University Masters program.   Grad school/Corporate World to Full-time dancer and teacher: The moment she realized that The Universe was opening a door to living a life with more passion.   Her first belly dance class with Amira Mor filled her with joy and admiration, “I don't know that I have ever felt that kind of exuberance and joy.”   The term, “crazy belly dancer” and what it means- I went through that as a student!   How Jannelle began taking belly dance students to Turkey, Egypt and Morocco so her students could learn from the land and the people where the music and dance was born.   Jannelle shares how creating space for folks to express themselves makes her joyful because she recognizes it may be the only place where we can be other aspects of ourselves.   “It provided all types of women, all ages, all bodies to come into class and be celebrated, Jannelle on her dance class teaching.   Teaching dance class for Eddie Palmieri at the Savannah Hotel   “When you're born with something, you have to feed it. It's you, this is a part of you,” Jannelle Cortes   Supporting local artists and small businesses when she travels and why it's important.   How Cuba gave her the opportunity to meet organizations and people and feel called to give back through each trip.    Exploring her identity as a Dominican woman who comes from an island that has been impacted by colonization, oppression and colorism. How do I heal myself and help others heal? How have my people come about?    Her experience of coming home to Ghana and a sense of completion.   Ancestral patterns and ancestral gifts that Jannelle has tapped into.   Shout out to Ivonne Velasquez and to my Mom and Johanna Olivas and Vanessa Villaverde- same message, “ It is our responsibility to seek happiness for ourselves.”   Jannelle closes with some advice for creative entrepreneurs: There is no blueprint for entrepreneurship, most Latinx didn't grow up talking about money so much of the business acumen we have, we've had to earn and learn. You're allowed to recreate yourself, over and over and over again.” BIO:   Jannelle Cortes is a choreographer, travel professional, and entrepreneur that grew up in the Maryland area and now resides in New York City and Havana, Cuba. She is the Founder of  the Groovefit Dance Company and Groove Trips LLC, both intergenerational companies that  promote community, accessibility, and sustainability.   Find Jannelle Cortes for updated info on her upcoming trips and masterminds: https://groove-trips.com/ Follow on IG: GROOVETRIPS
