Women Seeking Wholeness

After nearly 6 years and 240 episodes, I'm wrapping up this incredible podcasting journey of FEMININE AWAKENING and SOUL EVOLUTION. My friends, this is the final episode of the Soul Rose Show.  As I step into a new chapter of my life, I'm sharing what I feel are the most important insights on how to navigate your own spiritual awakening, embrace your authentic self, and contribute to the rising FEMININE CONSCIOUSNESS on our planet. This episode is a love letter to all of you who've joined me on this journey. In this episode: The power of FEMININE LEADERSHIP and why it's crucial for our world right now Understanding the 12 FEMININE EMBODIMENT & AWAKENING PRINCIPLES  The importance of AUTHENTICITY & SELF-EXPRESSION in your spiritual journey Embracing your DIVINE ESSENCE to create waves of positive change As I share in this recording, "You're it. You're the one that you and the world have been waiting for. Everyone and everything's been  awaiting your awakened FREQUENCY and VIBRATION." If you're feeling called to dive deeper into your own feminine awakening, check out my "Stand Speak Shine" course on standspeakshine.com.

As a mother of three sensitive sons, this discussion is particularly close to my heart. This episode features SAVI (YouTube channel: @SAVI-444), a man deeply in touch with his FEMININE who maintains his MASCULINE essence. SAVI's journey offers hope and understanding for males navigating the complex terrain of sensitivity and spirituality in today's world - as well as us females who seek to support healthy masculine expression.  Exploring the AWAKENING & INTEGRATION of divine feminine energy in men Understanding the concept of DIVINE SOVEREIGNTY and self-worth The power of SURRENDERING, RELEASING, and ACCEPTING in spiritual growth Discussing the "CAGE OF THE SOUL" and breaking free from limiting beliefs The importance of NATURAL DIET & MEDITATION  Unveiling the symbolism of the DRAGONFLY in spiritual experiences Navigating the challenges of being a SENSITIVE MAN in modern society SAVI is an engineer, entrepreneur, and spiritual seeker who has courageously shared his journey of awakening in his book "The Journey Begins Within." His experiences offer a unique perspective on integrating divine feminine qualities within a traditionally masculine framework. This conversation parallels my own DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL experience and explores the MASSIVE PENDULUM SHIFT we're witnessing in masculine/feminine "norms." We discuss the hope for healing as old paradigms dissolve and new, balanced ones emerge. … WATCH our episode on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SoulRoseShow   Follow The SAVI Ministries on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SAVI-444 SAVI's book “The Journey Begins Within” - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D41YTB6T   Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cherie.burton/   Join my MONTHLY Mindbody SOUL Membership: https://www.cherieburton.com/mindbody-membership   Get my Free WHOLE BODY Healing Mini-Course:  https://www.cherieburton.com/freeminicourse   Ask to join our private Facebook group, SOUL ROSE COMMUNITY, for exclusive content and free monthly, live sessions & classes!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/353442392180748/  

I am over the MOON excited to share this discussion with you! When I first encountered Dale Allen's (@daleallen_inourrightminds) work on the SACRED FEMININE, it was like a lightning bolt to my soul. As someone who's walked the path of spiritual deconstruction, I knew I had to bring Dale's wisdom to our community. She discusses the importance of balancing our RIGHT and LEFT brain hemispheres and reconnecting with our divine feminine nature.   In this episode: Discussing our lost goddess history and the beginnings of patriarchy  Exploring the journey of AWAKENING to the sacred feminine Understanding the impact of MALE MONOTHEISM on cultural perspectives The healing power of FEMININE ARCHETYPES & imagery   Dale Allen is an acclaimed speaker, performer, and author.

My friend Angel Lyn (@angel.the.rockstar) takes us on the awakening journey of following her INNER GUIDANCE and breaking free from dogmatic spiritual/societal CONDITIONING.  Her story is a reminder that we all have the capacity and BIRTHRIGHT to CONNECT DIRECTLY with the DIVINE and that our WORTHINESS is INHERENT, not earned.   In this episode: The PARADOX of spiritual awakening & existential crises The unexpected GIFTS that arise from following one's deep SOUL CALLING Angel Lyn: “I discovered I was a PHARISEE.” (vernacular for “religious ego”)   Angel Lyn has an MSW degree, and is a Soul Mentor & Author of “Soul-u-lar Evolution: A Mormon Woman's Transcendent Journey to Love.” She shares with us candidly about her experiences navigating the challenges of a divergent path, from the unraveling of her marriage to the unraveling of cultural programming.   Angel is also the Co-Founder of Southern Utah's “YIN ON FIRE” healing festival, which I am excited to be speaking at this September!

I had such a rich conversation with the one and only Naked Pastor, David Hayward (@nakedpastor) about his incredible journey of deconstruction.    David is a former Presbyterian minister and a brilliant cartoonist. He has a B.A. in Bible and Theology, a Masters in Theological Studies in New Testament, and a Diploma of Ministry. He was ordained to the ministry and served local churches… preaching and teaching and providing pastoral care for about 30 years.    In 2009, David had a profound "mystical moment" where he saw the interconnectedness and oneness of all people. This clashed with the exclusivity and hierarchy baked into religious institutions, ultimately leading him to leave church leadership. His book is titled, “QUESTIONS ARE THE ANSWER.”   David's provides a unique, valuable space for spiritual independence and deconstruction. I'm grateful our paths crossed!   The TRAUMA & DARKNESS that can follow leaving your faith community  Deconstruction isn't a new "MOVEMENT but simply questioning beliefs OPENLY How his cartoons use HUMOR to expose absurdities in religious DOGMA  WATCH this episode on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SoulRoseShow ...

Have you ever felt like you were born with an inner cosmic blueprint - a precise energetic imprint guiding you to your most authentic life?    I got to sit down with the brilliant Tresa Rivera (@human_design_hypnotherapy), a certified Human Design analyst and hypnotherapist who has devoted her work to unlocking the ANCIENT WISDOM TRADITIONS woven into this fascinating multidimensional framework. She illuminated how Human Design DECODES the unique energetic imprints we each arrive with, breaking it down for us in an accessible way.   We covered the basics like the different ENERGY TYPES (Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, Reflectors, Manifestors) and how getting your chart read by an expert can give you crazy insightful glimpses into your core energetic blueprint.    Tresa shared mindblowing insights - like how my defined Root center means I need intense bursts of movement, (vs long cardio!). Her teachings provide an initiation into shedding societal conditioning to realign with the sacred forces that shaped our souls' journeys.   The importance of seeing yourself THROUGH YOUR DESIGN rather than society's programming How the 2027 TRANSITS will shift humanity into an era of greater individual expression Practical ways to START EMBODYING the strategy & authority of your HD type WATCH this episode on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SoulRoseShow ...

This woman! She is NINETY TWO years old and as you will hear, as sharp as they come. Anne has been a mentor for me, guiding me through her research, unveiling suppressed histories and ancient texts restoring the feminine face of the Holy Spirit - like the mind-blowing “Gospel of the Beloved Companion” detailing Mary Magdalene's sacred bond with Jesus.   I finally got to sit down with this mystic-scholar heroine of mine, Dr. Anne Baring (YT:@annebaring5850). She's authored eight powerful books and has devoted her life to decoding the Myth of the Goddess and unveiling the FORGOTTEN WISDOM about our spiritual origins in Mother God.   She has issued a RALLY CRY for modern women to embody our archetypal powers as wise crones and nurturers of humanity's higher destiny. Anne's work is a balm, resurrecting the sacred daughter within, restoring our cosmic wholeness.   Resacralizing the Feminine VISION and the “Divine Ground” Reclaiming the FEMININE ASPECT of the Holy Spirit/Holy Wisdom Women's crucial role in SHIFTING humanity to a HIGHER DESTINY WATCH this episode on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SoulRoseShow   Books we referenced in this episode: Dr. Annine E.G Van der Meer | Mary Magdalene Unveiled: Hidden Sources Restore her Broken Image: Including a commentary on the Gospel of the Beloved Companion, that emerged in 2010:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/9083318907   Jehanne de Quillan | The Gospel of the Beloved Companion: The Complete Gospel of Mary Magdalene: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1452810729/   … Join our new MINDBODY Soul Membership: https://www.cherieburton.com/mindbody-membership   Get my Free WHOLE BODY Healing Mini-Course:  https://www.cherieburton.com/freeminicourse   Discover Anne's work on her website: http://www.annebaring.com/   Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cherie.burton/   Ask to join our private Facebook group, Soul Rose COMMUNITY, for exclusive content and free monthly, live sessions & classes!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/353442392180748/  

The collective carries a “God wound” because of patriarchal dogma and the rejection of communion with nature as a way to connect to the Divine.   After being disillusioned by dogmatic religious teachings, a profound experience with a Native American medicine man opened Mare Cromwell (@greatmotherloveway) to channel the messages of Mother Gaia.    She shares her transformational journey of surrendering to the Earth Mother's guidance through the sacred act of writing...in her books "The Great Mother Bible" and "Messages from Mother Earth Mother." Through the process of opening to Gaia's loving presence, Mare learned to give voice to her long-suppressed earth-honoring spiritual nature and discovered that self-compassion and reverence for the natural world were the gateways to her healing.   Nature's COMMUNICATION with our souls is as natural as a mother & child's.

I am ever fascinated with how various women are unlocking their womb's ancient feminine mysteries and activating their embodied sacred wisdom. THIS is the time we're living in!    AWARENESS ignites ACTIVATION. What wants to be noticed inside your sacral/sacred second chakra, your womb's deep, mysterious cosmic portal?   Nicole Frolick (@nicolefrolick) is a Practical Mystic, Intuitive Life Coach & Inner Child Healer. She shares how she reconnected with the divine feminine through PLANT MEDICINE journeys that unveiled the "GODDESS CODES" - ESOTERIC frequencies and light language SYMBOLS that allowed her to access her womb's creative powers.   Her journey is HERS alone and may not resonate with your own, but I think you will find her “womb alchemy” experiences very intriguing: Consciously conceiving unborn souls through song, embodying the "huntress" archetype to magnetize desires, and more.   Activating the womb's GODDESS CODES & Divine FEMININE BLUEPRINTS AROMA on the spiritual plane…how to "leave your scent” for the desired manifestation Divesting from patriarchal CONTROL in HIJACKING your womb wisdom   WATCH this episode on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SoulRoseShow  ...

If you feel a pull to use art, creativity and/or words to move through deep emotions, this episode will be powerful for you.   After decades of suppressing her pain and trying to be the "perfect" woman, a series of profound life transitions catapulted my friend Andrea Seiler into a dark night of the soul. She writes under the pen name @cheydrea (a blend of her name and her daughter Cheyenne's) and vulnerably shares her journey of excavating her shadows and traumas through the raw, uncensored act of writing poetry…in her book, "A Poet's Playground: Savage Poetry for Inner Child Healing.”   Through the process of "hemorrhaging" her emotions onto the page, Andrea learned to give voice to her long-silenced inner child and discovered that self-compassion and self-love were the keys to her healing.   How writing can be used as a TOOL for processing grief, pain & trauma The critical need to honor the wounded INNER CHILD'S VOICE Words and language as a PORTAL for rebirth, worthiness & reclaiming the self WATCH this episode on Cherie's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SoulRoseShow ...

Do you frequently feel spiritually "weak" or unworthy? Like you're getting it wrong in God's eyes no matter how hard you try? What if the divine ground of your being was always there, unshakable and unchanging, no matter what you did or didn't do? If you've struggled with feeling spiritually flawed, this episode will be a balm for your heart. Immersive Meditation expert Julie Scott (@itsabouttimebaby_julie) vulnerably shares her journey from religious [Catholic] dogma and self-doubt to spiritual freedom. After decades of trying to be the "good girl", a series of profound awakenings, including the sudden loss of her sister, catapulted Julie into a deeper exploration of her own soul's truth. Through meditation and A Course in Miracles, she discovered that love and worthiness were her birthright all along. Julie's "5 New Truths" offer a powerful framework for remembering our divine essence.    The liberating realization that WE ARE NOT OUR BODIES, (but rather the consciousness or awareness animating our physical vessels) Challenging the concept of SIN and recognizing it as wrong thinking and misdirected meaning assigned to ourselves How SPIRITUAL AWAKENING transforms the ways we view ourselves & others (leading to greater self-forgiveness, self-love, and self-acceptance, which naturally extends to others)   WATCH this episode on Cherie's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SoulRoseShow ..

What is a “Medial Woman”? [She who is a connecting link between seen & unseen realms; She who bridges opposites & helps restore lost wisdom to those who have forgotten.]   Is this you?    Throughout history, these uniquely gifted women have played crucial roles in society, though the dominant culture has often misunderstood or pathologized them (as in, the witch wound). Drawing from her own lived experience as well as in-depth research, my new friend Dr. Roberta “Bobbie” Corson shines a light on this powerful yet overlooked type of feminine embodiment.   I absolutely ate up Dr. Corson's book, "Stepping out of the Shadows: Naming and Claiming the Medial Woman Today" where she delves into the transformative journey of embracing your true archetypes, beyond societal expectations.   Navigating the challenging "LIMINAL" or thresholds between realms Understanding 4 FEMININE ARCHETYPES outlined by Toni Wolff Discerning the medial path through GROUNDING practices      WATCH this episode on Cherie's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SoulRoseShow ..

I'm thrilled to share this special trailer for the relaunch of my podcast, The Soul Rose Show. After 222 episodes and 5 years of my previous show, Stand Speak Shine, I took a podcasting sabbatical…And now, I'm returning with a reimagined focus on feminine-themed spirituality, mindbody science and conscious soul evolution.   The number 222 holds deep mystical meaning for me, which is why I originally launched my first podcast episode on 2/22/2019 at 2:22 am. My podcast has organically grown to be ranked in the top 2% globally, with hundreds of thousands of downloads and loyal listeners from all over the world. I'm so grateful for your support!   The Soul Rose Show will marry ANCIENT FEMININE WISDOM with science-based WHOLE BODY HEALING. I'll share practical tips alongside esoteric wisdom to support you on your path to embodying your soul's purpose.   Thank you for walking this path of soul expansion with me! I'm honored to continue guiding our journeys ahead on this podcast relaunch!     Follow me (Cherie!) on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cherie.burton/   Ask to join our private Facebook group, The Soul Rose Community, for exclusive content and free monthly, live miniclasses!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/353442392180748/   SUBSCRIBE for email UPDATES each time an episode is released! https://www.standspeakshine.com/blog   You can watch this Teaser Trailer on my YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/swtcr6-rGC4

2's and 22's are special to me, for synchronous sacred feminine reasons.  This episode will be my last episode for a while, friends. I'm taking a podcast and social media sabbatical in order to finish two book projects! One of the book's contents is explored in this episode…   We are living in a time of emotional honesty and the healing of lineages. I have felt the unresolved, misplaced feelings in my body that women in my 7 generation Mormon matrilineal line could not fully feel in theirs. In 2018, I finally took POLYGAMY off my psychological shelf, went on a sacred Mary Magdalene Pilgrimage to France, and found myself spinning into an awakening I never expected.    There can be a collision of two paths in your spiritual life, where exploration of feminine equality and problematic history comes face-to-face with the structures and beliefs of your faith. It can be a space of tension and tremendous discomfort, being confronted with the limitations and inconsistencies you're discovering within your religious tradition. You hit a crashing point, or a crossroads, which can “force” you to question deeply held beliefs and reassess your relationship with your faith.    My guest Celeste M. Davis @celestemdavis had a sacred feminist awakening journey that paralleled my own, in the same year and with the same religion of origin (Latter-day Saint) although we didn't know each other at the time. Celeste is a mother of 4 and a spiritual director specializing in LDS faith crises and faith transitions. She writes a weekly Substack on how to scratch that existential itch when the existential tools of our past no longer satisfy.    Together in this episode, we discuss the sensitive, courageous and vulnerable process of deconstructing, reevaluating, and reconstructing one's spiritual framework…which for many, may ultimately lead to a more liberated, sacred, inclusive, and authentic expression of their spirituality.    The co opting of Jesus' teachings by institutional administration Struggles with embracing the divine feminine within the church How can we make churches emotionally safe sanctuaries? (voicing doubts, encouraging questions about existing doctrines/beliefs, encouraging people to trust their intuition) Lifting the veil of unworthiness by breaking the cycle of trying to prove yourself What is liberation theology? ..

Are you in the middle of a very disorienting life situation that is literally halting you in your tracks?  Sometimes we're called to embrace uncertainty to receive deeper lessons in self-discovery. Sometimes trauma leads us to the darkest depths, where we uncover deep truths to illuminate our beautiful wholeness.   It just SUCKS when we're smack dab in the middle of it…!   My guest expert Danielle Matthews @_daniellematthews_ healed a life-altering injury to her brain, refusing to accept her bleak medical diagnosis. She went on to build an international business, author an ebook, and now shares her experience to inspire others. Danielle teaches a powerfully inspiring concept called POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH SYNDROME.   Impactful ways to be present in the dark What's a “sacred contract” and how can it give context to traumatic situations? What to do about the fear of not being as “impactful” post-transformation How can we embrace the concept of duality and the lessons that darkness teaches us without succumbing to a victim mentality?

What is the significance of Mary Magdalene and how can we connect with her essence for healing & empowerment? How can we as women reclaim our wisdom & power in the face of collective fears? Ya'll who follow me KNOW how much I love Mary M! My guest today is a true leader in the sacred feminine movement. Her unique research on Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary provides deeper insights on goddesses, miraculous conception, and divine feminine lineages… and how we can draw upon the mysteries of Magdalene to co-create miracles & healing in our lives. Marguerite Rigoglioso, Ph.D. philosophy, religion & humanities @margueriterigoglioso is a leading spokesperson and researcher for the Goddess and Sacred Feminine Spirituality. She is the foremost authority on the history of virgin birth, and the author of 3 books on the topic, including the bold new award-winning book The Mystery Tradition of Miraculous Conception: Mary and the Lineage of Virgin Births. Marguerite taught many graduate and undergraduate courses in the US and UK, and in 2012 founded her own Seven Sisters Mystery School, through which she's been teaching about the Sacred Feminine and mentoring clients on the evolutionary spiritual path.

The “womb path” is one of deep transformation. The “womb mysteries” anchor in growth through embracing what is called “womb wisdom” - or inner knowing. In this embodied state, we access self-trust, discernment and personal power. Here, in essence, we mother ourselves and co-create with The Great Mother.   My guest Lauren Megan @iamlaurenmegan is a body-based trauma specialist, womb alchemist, embodiment mentor, priestess, healer, conscious mother, and teacher. She guides & mentors women on the path of womb-led business, energetics, and pleasure. Her mission is to help women heal, unravel and decondition from the beliefs and generational traumas that keep them from speaking their truth, owning their purpose and receiving the endless amounts of bliss they deserve.   In this episode I also share my sacred womb healing experience at Chalice Well in Glastonbury in 2021 after experiencing multiple traumas to my second chakra throughout my lifetime.   Birth as initiation into the path of the womb & The Great Mother  Embracing womb wisdom & power for biz growth, personal development, and healing relationships What are “womb codes” and how do they impact creation?

What does it really mean to be heart-led and how do you live from that place?   I'm joined in this episode by my soul sister from India, Jonita D'souza. Together, we delve deep into the transformative power of self-devotion and the journey towards becoming a heart-led leader in this new era of rising feminine leadership. Jonita shares her experiences of embracing fear, exploring duality, and finding inner light through -paradoxically- the “Dark Mother” (another name for the Goddess/Mother who guides, supports and sustains us during our shadow work and Dark Night of the Soul seasons). Jonita D'souza @empressjonita is a Self-Leadership Mentor for women, a Feminine Lifestylist and Creatress of Feminine Empress Codes.

We hear the word mindfulness a lot, but what is it, exactly, and what does it accomplish? Mindfulness is essential to tap into your soul energy and live in higher vibratory states. Regular mindfulness practices allow us to feel more grounded and centered…and alive.   Many of us know we have gifts, messages, innovations, ideas, and all kinds of goodness buried inside of us… but we don't completely “dive in” because of other demands on our time, energy and resources. What can we realistically explore, for just a few minutes a day or a few hours a week that brings us closer to our soul purpose?    On this episode of Stand Speak Shine, we hear from JJ DiGeronimo, two-time award-winning author and former leading woman in the tech industry. She passionately strives to help women gain “more seats at more tables” by sharing the key findings that have helped her and countless others illuminate a path forward. Featured in publications such as Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and Thrive Global, JJ is a regularly-invited speaker for events and conferences. Her work includes three books, two podcasts, two global online communities, and in-person experiences.   A simple trick to lasso your energy from “head to soul” Nestling into the present moment by tapping into your “soul” energy vs. “ego” energy How to break free from Mental Swirls (changing your state in an instant) It all starts with valuing yourself enough to prioritize FEELING GOOD Follow the whisper: “Your purpose starts as a whisper.” Find JJ's “10 Lessons I Gained from My Mindfulness Practice” at www.jjdigeronimo.com/MindfulnessforWomen

There's no denying that the Feminine is rising. Her voice is finally coming out of exile after thousands of years, anchoring in a new reality. The vibration of words and sound literally heals & creates.  Despite an implicit message of shame and danger surrounding feminine spirituality from her conservative fundamentalist upbringing, my soul sister in the Middle East, Lisa Moriah Chenthitta @templeofdivineradiance found herself called to study texts and traditions outside her faith of origin that embraced the language of the goddess. Lisa is a writer, artist, drummer, Aramaic mystic, qadosha (Israelite priestess), creative catalyst, soul sounds coach and communication consultant based in Dubai, UAE. Her guiding truth is to live a life of service completely called forth by the power of her own voice, in partnership with divine truth. She is co-founder of The Story Alchemists, a boutique personal brand and communication agency for maverick souls, and founder of Temple of Divine Radiance, an online sacred space devoted to Hakhimtoh or Wisdom, the biblical Jewish manifestation of goddess.   Mary Magdalene's role in the initial stages of Lisa's awakening & exploration of feminine spirituality The history surrounding why using the word “goddess” has been implicitly and explicitly forbidden in conservative spaces The sacred power of sound, words & language to create reality & shape embodiment  How chanting, singing & drumming can open new dimensions, creating growth without striving How sound work helps us “walk the path of mystery and uncertainty with a sense of softness and trust”    Find Lisa's work: www.templeofdivineradiance.com If you haven't grabbed my FREE Mini-Training, “The New Feminine Leadership Paradigm” - get it now: www.cherieburton.com  

Sacred Feminine spirituality is about liberation and individuation -alongside mature collaboration. Many of us are seeking to find our authentic voices after disassociating from belief structures that have disassociated us from our bodies.    In my case, there were times I felt pressured to ignore my intuition and comply with religious leaders for fear of divine retribution. My soul sister from Scotland, Dr. Morgana McCabe Allan, was given an ultimatum by her religious leaders to either walk away from her church or go into a room of men for an exorcism (she chose to walk away).  This never was The Way; imposing fear-based ultimatums in the name of God.    Feminist philosopher & author, Dr. Morgana McCabe Allan, specializes in the interaction between identity and perceived reality. She primarily works with frustrated service-centered female entrepreneurs, guiding them through becoming fully available to experience the success that matters to them and designing a new reality using manifesting, mindset and healing techniques.    The Death Mother archetype as it relates to creation, destruction & societal conditioning The patriarchal devaluation of feminine power & how to constructively reclaim it The importance of drawing personal boundaries with organized spiritual structures “Don't be afraid to let go of everything that is not authentically YOU.”   Find her: https://www.morganamccabeallan.com/  

What do our souls deem true “success?” And how do we handle the fears, limiting beliefs, and self-doubts that will inevitably come up when we commit to creating a “next level” soul-based life? My guest Diana Long @dianadrakelongcoaching is a transformational Master Certified Coach & Trainer.  She is known as the "Results Catalyst" and was recognized as one of the top 4% of professional coaches worldwide by the International Coach Federation.

We are living in a time when ancient plant medicines are making a strong comeback. The conversation around psychedelic medicine has shifted significantly in the past 10-15 years and has been covered by popular media outlets. This shift is attributed to the mental health crisis, with approximately 50 million Americans diagnosed with mental health conditions and the pandemic exacerbating the issue.    People are desperate to heal and are seeking out unconventional methods.   In this episode, we explore psychedelics' (particularly psilocybin/mushrooms') potential for healing and discuss the societal stigma surrounding them, as well as the need for open conversations around their safe use. Join us as we reflect on the potential of psychedelics to support healing in individuals - as well as their positive effects on families and communities.   My guest Cori Sue Morris @corisue spent 15+ years building and scaling brands and has a master's degree from the George Washington University Elliott School of International Affairs. She dove deeply into the health and wellness space primarily to help herself and other women fight stress & anxiety. She then founded Retreat, a microdosing platform providing content, community, and coaching to psychedelic newcomers. Cori is a member of the Microdosing Collective and of Psychedelic Women, and is currently training to be a psychedelic facilitator with Synthesis Institute. Her focus is on the third wave of the psychedelic ecosystem, and she's a passionate advocate for its potential to improve mental health.   The politicization of mushrooms: a heartbreaking history The importance of safety, setting & intentionality in approaching psychedelic use (including in controlled environments like medical facilities) Why psychedelics are not for everyone Maximizing micro-dosing: protocols, tips & benefits   Cori mentioned a study involving clergy members who have experienced psychedelic medicine - as one example that suggests psychedelics can potentially enhance spiritual connection.

Anxiety…who doesn't deal with it from time to time? Anxiety can actually lead to a more mindful life - even becoming a superpower for sensitive people. How do we unlock the hidden potential of anxiety? How can it actually fuel personal growth? These are things that Dr. Jeanne Retief and I discuss as we explore the “seek for serenity.”    Jeanne has a long family history of mental illness and had a difficult home life growing up. She was always an anxious child, but panic disorder manifested in 2015 when she was traveling for work and had an attack that landed her in the emergency room. Despite her background in human rights consulting, Jeanne decided to take a break to focus on her own healing journey. She hopes that by sharing her story, she can help normalize mental health struggles and offer a platform for others to find catharsis and support.   “Everyone heals differently.” Weighing options to medicate for mental illness  Potential red flags when choosing a healthcare provider  Techniques for coping with chronic anxiety and “making friends” with it Reframing self-care as nourishing, not fixing Why meditating doesn't work during periods of severe stress & anxiety   Dr. Jeanne's skincare is my new favorite.

If someone would've told me years ago that I'd be diving into learning about the Venus Cycle- which would mirror my awakening process and alchemical descent journey…well, let's just say I would have called ‘em crazy!  When I gave a full “yes” to finding my truth, I discovered some reallllly interesting out-of-mainstream mysteries that were absolutely fascinating. Venus (archetypally & cosmically) is one of them.    The Venus mysteries connect us to the sacred and divine feminine, and this has been celebrated and revered by many ancient societies.  I cannot think of anyone better to explore this with than Tami Brunk. She's the founder of the Earth Sky Woman Podcast, co-founder of Venus Alchemy, is a fully Certified Shamanic Astrologer and a fully certified Active Dreaming Teacher.

I've spent my 20 + year career seeking to crack the code on depression & human suffering. I am now firmly convinced that SEPARATION is the root of all suffering.   When I was triggered (in a fear response) on my 7th night alone in Iceland, I looked up and saw the Northern Lights…vivid displays of color against the backdrop of a dark sky.   Something clicked.

What emotional patterns live beneath the surface of our conscious awareness…lurking in the shadows, impacting mood states, thoughts and behavior… and how do we shift them? The idea of shadow work can feel scary, yet it's the key to our liberation on multiple levels. Shifts only happen as we are fully inhabiting our bodies, in the present moment, with direct attention -- NO dissociation. So, how do you do this… if you're in fear?    First, you create safety through calming your nervous system; in fact, this whole healing & transformation she-bang involves nervous system regulation.

Our bodies tell a powerful story of what's going on inside of us mentally & energetically. Inheriting unprocessed trauma as a “root cause” of depression is a growing field of study. Depression lives in the past and anxiety lives in the future; both prevent us from being present & accessing our power in the here and now.    This is an interview from 3 years ago on Michael Sherlock's “Shock Your Potential” podcast. Michael was chosen as #12 of the Top Female Entrepreneurs to Watch in 2021 by EnterpriseLeague, is part of the Big 50 Top Entrepreneurs to Watch in 2022 by Success Sisters Magazine and is a frequent media expert on local and national news outlets.    She and I discuss how the mind-body's programming & inherited patterns keep us from accessing the power of ‘now' -- and what we can do to ground ourselves more fully into the present to HEAL.   "The necessary tools for healing already exist; they just need to be used by those who prioritize healing over money."

How might the generational cultural-collective “witch wound” factor into the downplaying of our intuition… and impact the expression of our inherent gifts? We must feel SAFETY in our gift expression, which means first identifying the thought behind the wound. In this episode, we delve into the importance of unlocking & expressing our spiritual gifts and addressing any conscious or unconscious patterns that prevent us from doing so.    This conversation ranges from embodying the Crone archetype to radical self-compassion, to young adults struggling with mental health.     Ultimately, each of us just wants to be deeply SEEN for who we truly are.

This engaging and thoughtful discussion with my dear friend Amber Richardson is a good one for all of you who are drawn to mysticism & feminine spirituality…and who acutely feel the missing Mother wound.

Gulp. I've wanted to share this particular aspect of my story with you listeners for a while, especially because I receive several messages and texts to the effect of, “Where are you at with the church?”  The truth is, I've always seen my journey out of orthodoxy as very private and my personal awakening path as very tender and sacred…so I've been reluctant to share details publicly. I'm sharing now because I've had insistent feelings that there are people in transition who need to hear what precipitated my decision, from a Sacred Feminine perspective, to take a step back from structured religion. As many of you know, my religion of origin is Latter-day Saint, or “Mormonism.” This is a recording of Magdalene Origins author Lisa Maria interviewing me last year. It feels so vulnerable to share this, but I'm getting braver!  :)   Deep, painful and thoughtful religious deconstruction The power of cocooning & metamorphosing with Mother, in the Great Unknown How Mary Magdalene factored into my journey; a sacred encounter in France (2018)  

For millennia, male-centric spiritual paradigms have pervaded the dominant culture. This is shifting, as those who grew up with this influence as girls and are now women…women who are recognizing the imbalance inside themselves and are seeking for a more balanced approach to their paths of devotion. This episode is about mature feminine spirituality. My guest Karen Kinney has studied contemplative spirituality for over twenty years, and is an accomplished visual artist, freelance writer, and teacher living in Mexico --and she shares about her journey with the sacred feminine in Mexico in this discussion.

Have you, like me, experienced pervasive periods of feeling EMPTY, lost, and alone throughout your life? I very recently had a profound awakening as to why these deeply unpleasant feelings of emptiness continued to cyclically rear their ugly head (and I do mean ugly) - even when things were going smoothly in my life. It was meaningful, in this episode, to discuss this pattern with my new friend, Donna. Donna Bond is coming to us from the gorgeous land of Costa Rica!

Alert! Name change of this podcast! Women Seeking Wholeness is now…drum roll puh-lease…STAND SPEAK SHINE. What are the odds that my 200th episode fell precisely on the last Wednesday of 2022? I had to change the name. Why? Because it took me 200 episodes and nearly 4 years of weekly podcasting to integrate the realization that I'm no longer a “woman seeking wholeness.” Wholeness is already within me, as it is within you. We need only EMBRACE it. This name change reflects the New Feminine Leadership Paradigm: that we STAND in who we really are, SPEAK our soul's truth, and SHINE in our authenticity! In essence, we SHOW UP -powerfully and humbly- as our true selves.   Why I'm a Mary Magdalene fan & what she represents in our day Unplugging from the matrix of external authority   What coming home to yourself feels like & how to get there in YOUR way   As a 200th episode celebratory gift: Get a 40% discount on my Stand Speak Shine 12 Week COURSE!

This is the LAST Women Seeking Wholeness episode before our official name change next week! As we go headlong into the Holidays, I can't help but reflect on LONELINESS.

  In this solo episode, I talk about truly doing your “ART”...your desired medium of expression and creation. Art is all about connection. It doesn't conform to exterior structures; to fear and people-pleasing. It is living in you as a bold, unexpressed -and much needed- gift to humanity, universal consciousness - and to yourself. Why “facing” your fear doesn't get to the center of it (and what really does) 4 things your Inner Artist needs in order to “come out” How indecisiveness inhibits creative flow
