The Spiritual Boss Podcast

Some of the most healing experiences I have had in my life have been in a circle with women. Did I choose my first circle willingly? Nope! I honestly don't think I would have gone into that kind of work willingly. I had the belief that I had to do it all alone. Women throughout the course of history have gathered and supported each other in collaboration, connection and community. After the rise of the patriarchy, we were isolated, disconnected and alone. This created a sister wound or a woman's wound. Incredible healing can take place when we can sit with each other, see and be seen, hear and be heard, without anyone trying to alter or change the way that we feel. This is what sisterhood has meant for me. Join me, Melanie Dawn, as I welcome Terra Dawn Allison and Shelley Duret to share with us their experience in a Sisterhood.

Often overlooked as something that is always present, breath doesn't require any direct attention to function in the background and keep your whole life vital. This is why many of us miss the incredible medicine that breath is. Mindfully breathing can directly influence the state of your physical, mental and emotional health as a direct tool of communication to your autonomic systems.  Whitney joins Melanie Dawn to share how using breath as medicine has changed the course of her life, freeing her from binge eating and self destructive patterns to become a strong leader in the field of Breathwork Facilitation 

We say farewell and best wishes to a friend of ours that has been so incredibly impactful for us throughout this podcast journey. 

When you are overwhelmed by emotions and life - what's your go-to? How do you give yourself what you need to heal? We talk about the default mechanisms we have that might be less effective or healthy - as well as some that feel like they are truly alchemizing those emotions into a more healthy space. 

Today's episode features various chats and techniques that could help you monetize and market your spiritual-based business; some alternative methods that might feel different than some of the ways that we've been taught that 'work' and ensure that you're working in alignment with your authentic self. 

How many times have you known that you were wrong but held on and not known why? In this episode we look at our own relationships with fear of being wrong and the shame that comes attached to it.

Melanie and Tanya jump into a discussion about the business aspects of spirituality. The challenges that come up when starting your spiritually-based business, as well as the conflict between optics and reality. 

We take you on a wild ride that goes in many, many different directions. Without Tanya there to direct us, we are pretty wild on our own! In this episode, Melanie and Jen look at the state of the world, what we're seeing and what we want to see happen. Let us know what you think! 

Jen here this week! On this episode, one of my FAVE topics to chat about! Manifesting, likely you haven't heard it explained in this way. Think of boiling water on the quick boil setting, only takes a few minutes and a lot of precipitation occurs, right? I dive into how to "quick boil" your desires.   I talk about my program Untethered a few times in here, if this hit a ping for you check out the link in my bio on IG @iamjenanderson

In this episode, Melanie talks to Kari-Lynn of Solfull Nutrition and breaks down easy to incorporate healthy habits and supplements to keep you mind and body healthy. A breast cancer thriver, mother and nutrition coach, Kari-Lynn has a story that speaks to many of us. You can find her on instagram @solfullnutrition and at www.solfullnutrition.com

It sounds demeaning - but I flipped it in my brain and it became the most liberating statement ever. I am not important - I don't need to be. I am here simply to exist. And that's a really (humbling but) cool feeling.

We got into a discussion about what triggers us and how we manage those triggers as they do arise. The ways we've failed to manage them - and some successful strategies. 

Have you ever felt like you are living your life on repeat? Despite making every effort to change, the same cycles keep forming? In this episode, Melanie takes us through how subconscious programming and past wounds are creating our current reality. 

I think we can alllll agree that this last two years have been an emotional rollercoaster at times. To think that our nervous system hasn't been effected, would be kinda silly? I want you to see how our nervous systems are linked to manifesting. How our emotions determine our outcomes. THIS IS NOT ABOUT BEING all sunshine and rainbows.  I talk about tears, fears, dreams and everything in between LOL   Lots of love, Jen

Jen and Tanya discuss manifesting, money, and some of the blocks and hurdles that arise when you are attempting to call in new and bigger things. Limiting-beliefs, getting out of your own way - and it just skims the surface. Let us know if we need a part 2 episode!  

Stepping into the New Year with perhaps a different approach in effort to realize your goals in a real way. Balancing your energy with that of the season, as well as the divine feminine and masculine. 

Jen here! My end of the year practice has shifted a bit.  This practice and then meditation will help you reflect on this past year in a deeper way, to bring the wisdom into 2022. Followed by a meditation for your future self.  Do not do the meditation portion while driving or operation heavy equipment hahaha.   Happy New Year beautiful souls.

Tanya explains the energies each moon cycle carries with it, as well as the coinciding energies of the Maiden, Mother, and Crone; and how to incorporate these energies into your life and your work to create more internal ease. 

What are some ways that you can incorporate Yule into your life? We chat about Yule, wintertime, and various ways you can bring the energy of this cycle into your holiday season.

It's the most wonderful time... or the most busy time? The most hyper-sensitive emotional time? ... What time of year is it for you? For some it's the best time and for others it's a constant re-negotiation of inner-resources and emotional management. We talk about our experiences with the holidays, and some various ways we've managed what comes at us during the holiday season.

Not the first time we've done it... but yet another view of the term 'empath' through a slightly different lens. Some of the shadow aspects of what it means to be an empath - and how to create more self awareness. 

There is so much to be said about the transformative effects the practice of Yoga Nidra has on the body, but it's also used as a profound tool for Spiritual awakening, rewriting limiting beliefs and creating more peace within your life. Join Jen and Mel and they touch briefly on the magic that exists within the world of consciousness. 

This episode we talk about intuition. Our personal journeys in finding our own connections, and some ways that we find helpful to create a stronger connection to source and trusting self. 

Another listener inspired episode! Keep the emails and requests coming, we love to hear from you!  We dive into our perceptive on Self Sabotage. What it truly means, the psychology behind the concept, and ways to hack our cognitive systems to override the temptation to stand in front of our own goals.    Note: please pardon the poor audio quality on this episode.

Episode 1 in our third season, we dive into some topics that are at the forefront of our minds. Trigger warning: Vaccines & Covid-19. 

We like to dig into the ugly stuff... and this episode is no exception. So often we discuss our perspective as empaths and dealing with the manipulation of others. But what if we are the ones doing the manipulating? 

Are you developing your intuition? Do you want to learn to tap into it in a more concrete way? Tanya goes over a handful of ways you can strengthen your intuitive connection.

In this episode, I (Jen) go deep into the anchors that hold us back from our desires becoming our reality. It's all about the feeling we desire, not the actual, tangible items.  I go into how to build your manifestation in the 5D for you to bring it into your 3D reality, as well as share how this held me back FOREVER. 

We talk a bit about dreams, symbolism, and our interpretation of that experience... and then the conversation takes off in another direction (as it always does with us...). 

Purpose - Drowning out the Noise   If you're in a constant state of comparison, you will always find some sort of evidence that makes you feel like you need to do or be more. If you're looking out instead of looking in, you'll never know exactly how special this gift inside YOU is.    The real gift, the real purpose is in looking in. Follow that compass. Trust that this is your purpose in every step. Your purpose isn't waiting for you to suffer for 56 years to come. It's happening right here, right now. YOU are your purpose. 

Coming out of the spiritual closet, embracing intuition, finding your intuitive voice, and how spirit communicates with you. A conversation with intuitive empath Kaicee Redpath about all the things that come up when you begin to intentionally walk with spirit, intuition, and empathy. 

Jen & Sara Stepa go deep into what it FEELS like to be in the dark night of the soul. Sara is open and real how it felt through the process of stepping into her deeper purpose even when it wasn't logical. The discomfort of not making the decision, the indecision that led to the decision to make the big leap.  The dark night of the soul can feel extremely uncomfortable, until we fully surrender to not knowing the steps, we just take them one at a time. 

Can some of those things that have been deemed unhealthy coping mechanisms... be healthy and spiritual too? We discuss our diverse feelings around coping mechanisms, taking breaks from spirituality, the impact of unhealthy coping mechanisms, and what that looks like in each of our lives. 

In this episode Jen interviews Matthew Patti,  the modern day mystic, futurist, bender of reality, disguised as a High Performance Coach. Get your bevvie & your notebook ready because Matt goes deep into what bending reality means; how time is irrelevant; what is a burning desire; how the past is anchoring you into your future;  the levels of giving & receiving; spiritual smackdowns; burn out; being trapped in the constructs of time & beliefs.
