 We're Julietta and Graciela, and we're sooooo excited to invite you into our Cacao Conversations—your weekly dose of heart-opening chats, all served with a warm cup of cacao. You'll feel like one of the family during this podcast where we speak frankly, and humorously, about some of life's big questions. We share wisdom we've picked up along the way and wonder out loud about lots of life's mysteries. Whether we're diving deep into transformation, laughing at life's quirks, or simply talking about the weather (which is, like, a much bigger deal at this age, isn't it?!?), you get a front row seat to our sometimes crazy, mostly spiritual and always authentic lives. From sweat lodge ceremonies to sweaty teen socks, we cover it all. So, grab your favorite mug, fill it with cacao and join us for some profound laughter. Cacao Conversations is about empowering you to remember who you are and step into the life that feels authentically yours. How do you use sound or music to shift energy? Whether it's a drumming circle under the stars or blasting your favorite song in the car with the windows down, sound has the power to transform energy in an instant. In this vibrant episode, we're talking about the healing power of sound and music—and how you can use both as spiritual tools to clear blocks, reset your nervous system, and elevate your vibration. We'll explore everything from sound bowls and tuning forks to mantras, playlists, and primal screams (yes, really)—and share how these practices have helped us move through grief, expand joy, and reconnect with our bodies. If you've ever felt the chills from a single note or cried during a song you couldn't explain, you already know the magic we're talking about. This one's for the feelers, the healers, and anyone curious about the frequency of transformation. So pour your cacao, press play, and let's vibe higher—together. Your cup is ready.

In this episode, I talk about desire as a sacred path back to yourself—how wanting (not just needing) is deeply empowering in life and in the bedroom. I share how to recognize true desires, rekindle turn-on with simple practices like fantasy and play, and meet any inner resistance with compassion. We finish with a gentle guided visualization to help you connect with your own desire and take one small, aligned step forward. In this episode, I talk about: How your desires can guide you toward an authentic life Needs vs. desires — why the difference matters Building self-worth and daring to want more Desire as the gateway to your erotic self Why fantasizing is good for your sex life Owning your turn-ons (and turn-offs) without shame Why desire doesn't have an expiration date A guided practice to connect with what you truly crave This is a recording from a live online event I taught.

Nowadays it seems like everyone wants to be “successful”—but how many of us actually feel it? We may know that true success is found in following the One who made us. And yet, in our increasingly polarized and comparison-rife world, many of us find our hearts yearning for an ever-elusive kind of success: in money, power, influence, or accolades. My guest on this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, Pete Portal, helps us reframe our understanding of what it means to flourish. In his new book, How to Be (Un)Successful: An Unlikely Guide to Human Flourishing, Pete invites us to consider that success is not about what we have—but about how we live. This conversation is an opportunity to redefine success, choosing:* Love over efficiency* Depth over volume* Real friendship over cold transactions Jesus’ life and teaching are the perfect antidote for a world sick with the wrong sort of success. And He invites us again to experience a success that truly satisfies our souls. I pray this episode encourages you to live a life of flourishing, right where you are.

For many of us, helping others comes naturally—but knowing where to draw the line? That's where it gets tricky. In this powerful episode, we're diving deep into what it really means to hold healthy boundaries while showing up for the people we love. We talk about why setting boundaries is an act of self-love, how to recognize when your energy is being drained, and the guilt that often comes up when you finally put yourself first. We'll share personal stories, practical tools, and mindset shifts that help us stay grounded, balanced, and fully present without losing ourselves in the process. This conversation is for you if you've ever found yourself exhausted from giving too much, struggling to say no, or wondering how to take care of yourself and others without burning out. So pour your cacao, take a deep breath, and let's talk about creating relationships rooted in love, clarity, and mutual respect—without abandoning yourself in the process. Your cup is ready.

What does it take to heal beyond the pills, the quick fixes, and the 15-minute doctor visits?  For today's episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast, we have Cristi Cuellar, also known as “Austin's Holistic Physical Therapist,” who has spent the last 18 years transforming lives through her approach to healing. With a passion for alternative pain management, she champions conscious exercise and an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, emphasizing personalized, one-on-one care that addresses the root causes of pain. In 2016, Cristi enhanced her expertise by becoming certified in dry needling, inspired by its rapid benefits in her own journey—from a high school athlete who tore her Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), to becoming a physical therapist, and ultimately launching C&C Dry Needling, her own wellness clinic in South Lamar. We talk about what makes her approach so unique, which is the 5R wellness method that helps patients reset their nervous system, repair soft tissue, and truly reclaim their health. She takes pride in listening to her patients' complete stories, creating a holistic pathway to optimal health and empowerment.  Cristi has a Bachelor's of Health and Science Degree from Baylor University and a Master of Physical Therapy Degree from Texas State University. As a licensed Physical Therapist, she has various continuing education certifications in Dry Needling, Exercise Correction, Reformer Pilates, Manual Therapy, YogaFit, Qigong, and Kinesiotaping techniques. She has also been part of the CHEK (Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology) Institute as a Holistic Lifestyle Coach for over 6 years. She is an advocate for functional medicine, emotional intelligence, and spiritual growth, and a fan of Dr. Mark Hyman, Andrew Huberman, Dr. Stacy Sims, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and Brene Brown. If you've ever wondered how mind-body healing really works, or why traditional physical therapy sometimes misses the bigger picture, you're going to love hearing Cristi's perspective on holistic injury recovery, patient empowerment, and creating balance in life. Cristi's story proves that healing isn't just about the body. It's about the mind, emotions, and spirit working together. Do you enjoy listening to experts from diverse fields?

You'll feel like one of the family during this podcast where we speak frankly, and humorously, about some of life's big questions. We share wisdom we've picked up along the way and wonder out loud about lots of life's mysteries.

Nature has a magical way of showing us exactly what we need to see—if we're willing to slow down and listen. In this episode, we're sharing the ways nature has recently moved, challenged, and inspired us. From the gentle wisdom of a flower blooming exactly on its own timeline, to the fierce resilience of a storm-tossed tree, there are lessons everywhere. We'll explore how tuning into nature can help us navigate our own seasons of growth, rest, and transformation, and how connecting to the earth can bring us back into alignment with our true selves. If you're craving a deeper sense of grounding, inspiration, and connection to the world around you, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air for your soul.

We all have seasons in our life where we are stuck or in transition. Whether it's in our personal or professional lives, being in that in between place can be very uncomfortable and it creates uncertainty. In this solocast, Michele walks you through three steps to get connected to the truth of your situation to get you moving forward towards the life you want to live. Just remember, you are not alone when you are in this place. We all experience these “stuck” places, especially when we are actively trying to live our truest, most expressed version of ourselves. *This conversation is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

In this episode, we delve into the power of microshifts and how they can lead to a more fulfilling and joyous life. Discover the art of making small, intentional changes that accumulate over time, creating a significant impact on your overall well-being. 

How can you live with more love, authenticity, and purpose? Ellen Edmondson, award-winning author of A Place of Love & Light, shares her journey of spiritual awakening and offers guidance on reconnecting with your inner wisdom. Learn how to embrace life's challenges, trust your intuition, and make a positive impact in the world.

Our one true purpose in this lifetime is to become who we have always been. To become the most authentic version, the version of us that was taught to bury herself deep underneath the mask and identity used to keep us safe. Eventually, the mask and fake identity become too heavy to hold, so we must put them down and unravel all that is not aligned with our truth. In the latest episode of the Hippie Moms podcast, my Soul Sister, Angela Ferrari, joins us to walk this path home to ourselves, our authentic selves. In her new book, The Edge of God, she helps us discover what lies beneath all the things that keep us from living a peaceful, ease-full, and freedom-filled life! Angela beautifully shares with us why many of us feel exhausted by life, and how we can connect with our inner compass that guides and infuses us with the life force we seek. This path is not for the meek. It takes courage to swim upstream and live life in a way that is in alignment with our hearts, rather than being sucked in by a superficial and fleeting world. If you are ready to walk the path home to yourself, listen to this conversation, as it will deepen your understanding and remind you of the knowing that you are exactly here and now, perfect. There is nothing you are lacking and nothing more you need to be. So you get to rest in you. My biggest wish for all of us is to discover how freaking powerful we already are, and there is nothing more we need to make it so.

But the truth is, none of us are meant to do this life alone.In this deeply honest episode, we're breaking down the signs that it's time to reach out for help and why asking for support is one of the bravest, most self-loving things you can do. We talk about the stories and conditioning that make us believe we "should" handle it all ourselves, how to recognize when you're running on empty, and how to shift into receiving without guilt or shame. From small daily struggles to big life transitions, we explore what it really looks like to lean into community, spirit, and trusted connections.

What if passion isn't something you stumble upon—but something you bring with you? In this episode, we're flipping the script on what it means to “find your passion.” I share how I've come to understand that passion isn't found in the work, the title, or the circumstance—it's born from within. We often believe that others have more fun, more fulfillment, or more clarity because of what they do. But here's the truth: perception isn't the full story.I dive into the idea that passion produces passion—and that we can create joy and energy in our lives by choosing to show up differently. From the quote, “My job is not fun—I'm a fun person,” we explore what it looks like to lead with our own spark and bring vibrancy to even the most mundane moments. Whether you're feeling disconnected or just ready to tap back into your own fire, this episode is a loving reminder that you hold the power to make anything feel more alive.After you listen, I'd love to know—what's one way you can bring a little more fun, fire, or passion into your world this week? Tag me on Instagram or send a message and let's celebrate how YOU show up and create your own spark.

Are you feeling drained and stuck, trying to fit into roles that don't reflect who you truly are? It's time to reclaim your energy and stop wasting your precious time on what's not meant for you.In this episode, we delve into the emotional toll of living out of alignment with your true self. Discover how to listen to your inner voice, set empowering boundaries, and find the courage to say no to what's not serving you. Schedule Your Free Discovery CallThis is a free call designed to help you overcome your struggles with self-abandonment and unrelenting stress.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Schedule it here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ : ⁠https://calendly.com/drkellykessler/discovery⁠⁠

Roy Fruits June 29, 2025 What Is A Christian? Grace: The Source Of Authentic Living Galatians 2:11-21

"What if the loneliness you feel in your marriage is actually preparing you for the solitude that could set you free?"Pat Fenner thought she knew how marriages were supposed to end. After 37 years, the slow drift into loneliness felt normal. But when divorce blindsided her, this mother of five discovered something unexpected: she had been lonely even when married. What followed was a journey from feeling like a "hard little kernel" to coming home to herself in ways she never imagined. Pat's story challenges everything we think we know about fighting for relationships versus fighting for ourselves."I absolutely love my life right now," Pat declares—words she couldn't have said for fifteen years. Through raw honesty, she reveals the red flags she missed, the fear that kept her trapped, and the surprising difference between solitude and loneliness. Her advice? Stop thinking marriage gets worse with time. Sometimes the very thing we think will destroy our relationship—standing up for ourselves—might actually save it.
