Women are carrying multiple generations’ worth of trauma in our DNA.  A lot of it involves our bodies, and namely – our sexuality.  Are our bodies – and our innate sexual energies – the unclean, not-to-be-trusted aspects we’ve been programmed to believe they are? Or…could they be the one of the keys to our power and creativity? The new “call” is to reintegrate; to come back into our embodied wisdom and sexual sovereignty to access authentic divine feminine connection.  Julianne Vaccaro works with women to self-heal, reclaim their erotic goddess, come home to their bodies, and soften into their power for total embodiment.

Please note this was recorded 3 weeks ago, along with the last 2 episodes, before the pandemic.  As I shared on my main FB page, I don’t mean to be insensitive about the world’s issues and what we’re facing. However! This is a time on the Earth of unprecedented change and incorporating new ways of thinking, being and healing… 065:  Deep Soul Work with Sacred Plants This episode carries some serious TRUTH BOMBS!  If you had discovered something powerful that you knew could save the life of a suffering loved one – but it was pretty unorthodox and “out-of-the-box” – would you still share it with them?  Most of us would say yes…we’d do anything to relieve the pain and facilitate healing – and especially save the life – of those we love. Since the devastating suicides of her son-in-law and husband, Laura Stoker has been on a focused mission to heal her family, find her highest path as a soul entrepreneur, and liberate others along the way. In her memoir, "Joy Is My Answer,” she candidly shares her journey of living with her husband’s mental illness for 22 years and coming into her own power by finding her voice and holding healthy boundaries. Laura recently returned from Peru and had an unforgettable healing experience working with a Shipibo tribe Shaman and the feminine sacred plant medicine, Ayahuasca. This was her second time in the Amazon jungle of Peru working with this plant medicine, and this time she took her daughter.  Laura and I have a VERY frank and fascinating conversation about the future of healing with sacred plants. Link to this episode is in the comments below!  (SUBSCRIBE to Women Seeking Wholeness on iTunes, Spotify and all other podcast platforms) In this episode: Why certain powerful plants in the psychedelic family – Ayahuasca in particular – are often confused with drugs, yet are poised to be the new frontier in mind/body healing.   What is a modern-day Shaman? What is Ayahuasca’s purpose in creation?  How has it been used for hundreds of years and how, when and where should it be administered? There comes a point in the life of every truth-seeker when they must claim their OWN path without having to look to another human leader or authority for approval. Why is this the natural order of soul evolution, and how can NATURE assist us in this evolution?  Find Laura’s book: “Joy is My Answer” on Amazon.

064:  Women’s Bodies and Cultural-Religious Mixed Messages Can a woman can be considered a “holy” being while also considered a “sexual” being?  What kinds of subtle messages do women internalize about their sexuality within the “church”?  Even though my heritage is Mormonism, this issue is pervasive across most all religions (and our larger culture).  This totally piggybacks my conversation last week with Mormon Sex Therapist, Natasha Helfer Parker. In THIS episode, Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife shares what she’s seen in her practice as universal themes or struggles with women and sexuality within the Latter-day Saint community (Mormonism).  Dr. Finlayson-Fife is a LDS relationship and sexuality coach as well as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois.  She has a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. In addition to her dissertation research on LDS women's sexuality and relationship to DESIRE, she has taught college level human sexuality courses.  Link to this episode is in the comments below!  (SUBSCRIBE to Women Seeking Wholeness on iTunes, Spotify and all other podcast platforms) In this episode: How women become disempowered sexually in religious environments (culturally and doctrinally).  How religions (knowingly and unknowingly) contribute to body shaming, limitations with self-expression, and identity confusion.  As women of faith, why do we struggle with what is "proper" in this regard?   How do you empower a woman to “own” her sexuality and her own body?

[Gulp] In this episode, I get pretty dang REAL about some of my personal pain points – and genuine concerns – surrounding women’s mental health within patriarchal religious hierarchies.  In particular, I share some personal and professional context with how I see women’s spiritual/emotional/mental health being harmed (knowingly and unknowingly). Natasha Helfer Parker is a well-recognized Certified Sex Therapist in the Latter-day Saint (Mormon) community, an LMFT and host of the Mormon Mental Health Podcast. This episode is actually me being interviewed on Natasha’s podcast, which was kind of interesting to have the tables turned! She has developed a special interest in helping clients work through issues regarding their interpersonal relationships, sexual development, and faith or spiritual journeys.  She particularly enjoys helping those wanting to navigate their religious cultures in healthy ways - whether they desire to stay within their faith communities or leave altogether.  She and I both honor all religious paradigms and choices.     Link to this episode is in the comments below!  (SUBSCRIBE to Women Seeking Wholeness on iTunes, Spotify and all other podcast platforms) In this episode: What losing my sister to suicide and sitting on the Utah Attorney General’s State Suicide Prevention Council taught me about perfectionism and “the worthiness issue” as detriments to emotional safety and mental health How I was able to come to peace with my “personal salvation” and claim spiritual sovereignty to reclaim my emotional wellbeing How do the marginalized find inclusion and healthy sociality within a religion?

Abuse is more complex than just physical violence or verbal assault. When we are connected to a partner, a deep and strong tie becomes embedded inside that leaves us vulnerable and open to trauma in many forms (not just infidelity).  For many women, it’s become so chronic in their relationship that they don’t realize how it’s impacting their quality of life and health. After years of attempting to stop her husband’s pornography use and “anger issues”, Anne Blythe's husband was arrested for domestic violence in 2015. Anne educates women about how to safely and effectively navigate their husband’s (or ex’s) abuse and establish peace in their homes and families. Anne was APSATS trained and is the producer and host of the Betrayal Trauma Recovery Podcast. She has been a key presenter at numerous conferences.  In this episode: What is GASLIGHTING? What are the ONLY 2 ways to heal from manipulation and abuse? Repentance and reconciliation are good, but…It is completely unethical for therapists and clergy leaders to ask a women to be “patient” with her perpetrator.  Find out why.

Intimacy is not just something that happens in the bedroom. It’s a way of being…with yourself.  Intimacy = “into-me-see.”  A woman often doesn’t know how to express her sexuality because of the religious, cultural, and familial programming she’s received from her girlhood (often still being perpetuated in her mature adulthood).  Melisa Keenan is a wife and mom of 4 who’s become an Intimacy Coach to help women embody intimacy as their natural state of being. She helps transform women and marriages into the deeply connected havens they were meant to be.  In this episode: How do religions perpetuate “bodies being evil” – fostering shame around feminine anatomy and function? Giving yourself the freedom to explore and understand your own body…why is this both empowering and confusing to many women? The women of today are survivors, with warrior spirits. We are so capable, yet we forget how to let down our walls and play; to soften and just be.  You are worth being pursued, being desired and sought after.

What is happening with this whole weight loss/weight gain ping-pong cycle inside our female bodies?  And why is nutrition NOT taught in medical schools as a healing agent – as actual medicine – for these bodies of ours? Mary Claire Haver, MD went from being a full-time OB/GYN physician to an entrepreneur and certified Culinary Medicine Specialist. Hormonal dysregulation, fatigue and weight loss resistance were issues she saw continuously with female patients in her practice.  My discussion with Mary Claire centers on effective, permanent, science AND holistic-backed weight loss.

Why eating 3 square meals a day and/or eating every 2-3 hours has been scientifically DEBUNKED.

Ever wonder why you have a natural fascination with “The Crown”? We’re all secretly wanting to embody aspects of a higher, more benevolent, beautiful and authentically powerful way of being …but how is this embraced?  The Queen merely awaits our invitation! Sandra Rogers, M.A., LMFT, is a licensed psychotherapist whose book “Inviting the Queen: An Emerging Archetype for Women at Midlife” helps women align with this archetypal energy to access their innate power and skills to enhance and deepen their lives.  Link to this episode is in the comments below!  (SUBSCRIBE to Women Seeking Wholeness on iTunes, Spotify and all other podcast platforms) In this episode: We live about 30 years longer than our foremothers at the turn of the 20th century.  Today, most women are still active and viable and can live many more years.  Therefore, a new archetype – The Queen – with its attendant energy, is needed for this new life stage. Through the years, women have developed many skills and abilities. They are now ready to move up from middle management to an executive level—from Mother to Queen, and are able to have a greater impact on their families, communities or even the world (as well as enriching their own lives).

First of all, Merry Christmas!  I saved this episode for this special day because self-nourishment and self-care is the highest and holiest GIFT you give to God, Self and Others. What is inner body wisdom and what does it have to do with getting in touch with your innate needs?  How often do you ask yourself, “What do I want?” “What is it that I need?” “What do I like?” These are not selfish questions… they are actually VITAL to address and explore in order for you to be in your “knowing” and to feel alive in your body! This beautiful personal “Devotional Self Care” mentor of mine from Her Mystery School, Jasmine Patten, has a super real conversation with me about living a life of alignment, grace and ease vs. stress, exhaustion and burnout.  She is a sought-after “spirited business” and self-care coach for creative entrepreneurs and freedom-loving women. Her passion is supporting women to work less and live more through getting in touch with their own inner wisdom by creating systems for efficiency and rhythms for nourishment. In this episode: Why it’s so easy to get enmeshed in those we love, and why it derails our peace & alignment What is the best way to turn inward and connect to your own sovereignty and power? What is the true cost – the fallout – of not taking the time to self-nourish? How to dissipate and diffuse our deepest fears (takes 90 seconds or less!)

[Revisit one of the first episodes of the Women Seeking Wholeness Podcast. If you are interested in checking out the Part II of this episode, click here!] Mental health, depression, and abuse are real issues and those who are suffering desperately need our help. Today I am joined by my two surviving sisters, Robin and Taunia, to dive into our own family history with suicide, abuse and the struggle for mental health and clarity. We are opening up about losing our sister Shawna, our shared and individual childhood traumas, and why we are passionate about stopping the family pattern. This is an intense episode about getting real and helping those in need. We identify patterns in our familial lineage, explaining the navigating factors of domestic abuse, and reliving the moment we knew Shawna was gone. While a difficult and emotional topic, these issues are necessary to bring to the surface to help others who are experiencing something similar. If you are looking for insights to help you get onto the path to healing, we hope that by sharing our story we can help you get out and onto a path of healing. An open conversation about how suicide can be a splash of cold water in the face and why we feel a responsibility to share what we have learned, this is an open space of love and healing. Has suicide, mental health issues or abuse impacted your life? Let us know in the comments.   In This Episode The earth-shattering, soul-splitting moment of losing a loved one to suicide Giving yourself permission to not tolerate abuse on any level The unconscious knowing that a loved one has passed onto the next life Gaining answers and controlling your own journey in life   Quotes “You are not just inheriting your ancestor's nose or eye color or skin color, you are actually inheriting the emotional debris or trauma that they did not have the opportunity to clear in their lifetime” (5:46) - Cherie “Even though we might not remember everything that happens to us, our body does.” (23:09) - Cherie “I look at who I am now and I am like, who was that woman that would ever allow the level of abuse that I did?” (23:43) -Taunia “An audible outside voice said ‘you don't have to live like this’. It was literally outside me and audible and it was like a wake-up call, and that's when I knew I could choose differently” (27:56) -Taunia “I remember feeling so angry and yet having compassion for what you just went through. But I wanted you to see my anger about it, I did not want you to have that be your default, don't choose out” (49:50) - Robin   ABOUT: Cherie Burton is a mom of 6, author, international speaker, emotional healing expert, business owner and feminine leadership trainer.

Are you struggling with a painful transition in your life - grieving or suffering around a major decision - and are truly concerned with how it will be perceived by others? What if…this is exactly what your soul is trying to bring to you: RELEASING the voices of others? (Allowing you to fully hear the voice of God, in whatever way, shape or form you define this). My soul friend Leah Young believes that we are cradled by a Universe that conspires in our favor, bringing circumstances and relationships to stretch our souls, which are yearning for our growth. Having an unexpected, life-altering transition has helped Leah to slow down and become more attuned to this way of being, thinking and feeling. She bravely stepped out of “hustling for worthiness” in religion (trying to become more, do more, be more, serve more, more, more, more) and into authentic spirituality (realizing that the “more” she was striving for has always been within her; she just needed to tune in, slow down and rediscover it.) Leah is now a Transition Coach who specializes in supporting those in this “soul rebirth” and rediscovery process. LISTEN to our interview and/or SUBSCRIBE here: https://cherieburton.com/category/womenseekingwholeness/ In this episode: Releasing ownership of others’ beliefs and choices.  Thoughtfully stepping away from relationships that no longer honor you in your growth, and sending them off in a spirit of honor and love. Reframing challenging circumstances and relationships to recognize the growth and teaching purposes they offer to us. Learning to see the rumble as a gift, rather than a curse - because the good and the “bad,” is all a gift.  Leah’s parenting awakening: Viewing our children as empty vessels to properly fill vs. unique wise souls to guide into their own sense of wholeness. Allowing space for self-love and compassion leads us into real love and compassion for others.  Recognizing that true courage comes from learning to sit inside the discomfort of life, often alone, to see it, to honor it, to be willing to move through it, and lean into the lessons.  Leah’s website is: www.BalancedLivingwithLeah.com  For more info on working with Leah, email her at leah.robin@gmail.com Find her as “Leah Lewis Young” on Instagram & Facebook. “Parenting.Aftermormonism” is her “baby” on Instagram; it’s an uplifiting, inspiring, positive group, offering resources and stories and hope and healing for conscious parents in transition.   ABOUT: Cherie Burton is a mom of 6, author, international speaker, emotional healing expert, business owner and feminine leadership trainer.

What is the Dark Night of the Soul? I’ve been speaking pretty openly about my sojourn through this, and I think this interview with LiYana Silver lays it out beautifully.  LiYana’s developed programs that help women transform self-doubt and stop self-criticism & second-guessing, so that they feel comfortable in their skin, clear about their worth, at home in their lives, and naturally trust themselves (even when other people might think they’re nuts).  She is the author of FEMININE GENIUS: The Provocative Path to Waking Up and Turning On the Wisdom of Being a Woman.  Our discussion centers around moving through painful “initiations” into our purpose and power…mining through the dark parts of ourselves and the distortion around us, to fully allow our true selves to shine forth.

I’ve been saying for years that most people are afraid of healing and that’s why, as a collective, we aren’t healing. Many special women are awakening to certain gifts and wonder, “Is this legit?”  “Am I being deceived by the ‘dark side’?” “If this is real and from God, what do I do with it?” My healer friend, fellow woman of faith, and author Marlo Andersen, grappled with these kinds of questions to herself, and to God, as did I.  Like probably many of you, we are mothers who’ve felt a continual stirring inside, fueled by a deep desire to connect to our Creator and serve humanity through our innate – and developing – spiritual gifts. Once you wake up to this – and to your true mission – you cannot fall back to sleep.  The world needs you, and the Universe is calling you to The Work.   LISTEN to our interview and/or SUBSCRIBE here: https://cherieburton.com/category/womenseekingwholeness/ In this episode: There is a treasure trove inside you that isn't yet uncovered, and it is a revealing, uncovering, expansive journey that never ends. Everyone on the planet holds something uniquely BRILLIANT. Some people are born as healers, with a unique presence, “way” and vibration to serve others. People that are willing to dive deep inside themselves, into their soul realm as co-creators with God, are the ones who can serve others the most powerfully. They are the change-makers and healers of this planet.

What are you waiting for, to step into your divine purpose and the life of your dreams?  Hear from author of A Little Book of Permission, Susie Sourwine, all the way from beautiful SCOTLAND. In the last year, Susie has completely reorganized her life to prioritize having conversations about the way learning to give ourselves permission will change our lives… and when we as coaches, teachers, parents and leaders teach it and centralize our work around it, we change our influence.  And we change the world. She calls this “rewilding your life.” LISTEN to our interview and/or SUBSCRIBE here: https://cherieburton.com/category/womenseekingwholeness/ In this episode: What actually is this thing “PERMISSION” we are supposed to give ourselves to take action and create the change we want in our lives?   Why giving ourselves permission is so difficult for women and how can we develop that muscle in ourselves and others.   How it is just as important to declutter our thoughts and beliefs about our obligations as it is to declutter our living space. How we have to do things differently if we really want to change the world for the better—a motivation for so many women.   Why incorporating and requiring permission and consent in our lives allows us to contribute more, gives resilience for errors and for dropping the attachment to perfection, and provides multiple opportunities for choice and FREEDOM.

Jumana Sophia’s work articulates the soul road of womanhood and the nobility, the eternal rightness and the incorruptible beauty of female sexuality and sacred femininity.  She writes, “This is a time of remembrance, and my work will foster an intimacy with yourself that is True. That feels like Home.” Jumana and I went deep in our discussion about what it really means to be an authentic woman; to let it emerge and to express as it naturally longs to.  We talk of how women steward the “womb of the world” and underestimate their power in just BEING.     In this episode: What is the healthiest, highest-vibe definition of “worthiness”?

Where are you trapped in your life and what is keeping you from breaking free?  Briell Decker Blanchart will inspire you with her FASCINATING survival story, featured in CNN, The Guardian, and Inside Edition. She escaped from a polygamous cult, literally breaking herself out of a locked-up room in a “Repentance House.” The cult’s prophet was Warren Jeffs, to whom she was “given to” as a teenager.  Warren had over 70 wives and concubines before his arrest and incarceration. Briell was groomed, programmed, even tortured to stay obedient from the time she was a young girl. Eventually she allowed herself to question, use her voice and wake up.  Now, she is writing a book, speaking out, and is involved in 4 non profits involved in cult recovery and complex trauma solutions. Polygamy has been a charged topic for me since my childhood.  Briell and I will be working together in the future to empower and support women in these communities who are awakening and transitioning. LISTEN to our interview and/or SUBSCRIBE here: https://cherieburton.com/category/womenseekingwholeness/ In this episode: Never spiritual enough, obsession with worthiness, praying to be counted among the elite who will “make it”—how are these damaging paradigms being perpetuated in systems and institutions?  What would it be like to be escorted to a secret location, taken to a room and it’s a big surprise who’s waiting for you at the altar? How is the disempowerment of women through silencing and subordination affecting the health of individuals, families, communities and the world? How do you empower a woman?  You guide her to discover her own soul voice.  Briell listened to hers, which gave her the COURAGE TO LEAVE.

“There is a silent revolution taking place…This is a new type of revolution, the type that has not been written about in history books. This revolution is giving birth to Revolutionaries and not Reactionaries. These Revolutionaries see beyond the tribal creeds that have been rooted upon fear and upon territory. You can distinguish between the Reactionaries and the Revolutionaries because the Reactionaries base their reforms on fear, anger, scarcity, and emotional prejudices. Revolutionaries, on the other hand, do not provoke further reaction, instead, they seek to resolve conflicts while also implementing radical change based on a grander vision for the future. Revolutionaries, like Jesus, are not anchored in fear --they are anchored in a deep goodwill toward all creatures.” Who says stuff like this?! My revolutionary friend Wendi, that’s who. Wendi Jensen has been an author, speaker and trainer in the healing arts and human development for over 15 years. She is known for her rare gift of teaching others how to navigate their own mind viruses and take ownership of their mind. Because of her own painful and disorienting experience of faith crisis and religious transition, she has dedicated her gifts and her practice to helping those who are also in different forms of transition to claim their new identity, find stability, and make progress toward their new life. She is the author of two books and has created multiple online courses. She is quickly becoming known as the Second-Life Midwife --helping people rebirth themselves into the life of their dreams. LISTEN to our discussion and/or SUBSCRIBE here. In this episode: Why do people mistake religion for the “destination” instead of a “vehicle” to the destination? How do you actualize the “sacred self” that transcends belief systems and human structures? Why our #1 need as human beings is to GROW (which typically happens in the form of inner conflict) What is the biggest source of self-contempt and how does this impede spirituality?

You wouldn’t look at Jessica Procini and think she’d ever had a problem with unconscious self-feeding.  Yet, she has walked through an intense journey of self-love starvation, using food to fill the void. Overeaters Anonymous didn’t resonate and therapy wasn’t enough when it came to getting help to fully end her fight with food. She eventually used her personal power and innate wisdom to become an Emotional Eating Healer and the founder of Escape From Emotional Eating®.  Based in Philadelphia, she is on a mission to help busy, successful women use food as fuel rather than a way to cope, soothe or escape their busy, stressful lives. Being 100% free from her compulsions with food, she now helps others do the same.

My friend and colleague, Deborah Kagan (author, speaker, “Mojo Recovery Specialist”) and I are hearing many of the same things from women:  There seems to be a concern around being seen. So many women WANT to be seen, but are afraid or unwilling to stand in their full light. They feel like their bodies are “in the way.”  The catch 22 is that’s exactly what’s needed to create a life you desire. It’s what’s needed when you are looking to enhance your relationships. It’s what’s needed when you are taking the next career move. It’s what’s needed when you want to have daily vitality and enthusiasm. It’s about being fully embodied and comfortable in your own skin.  This is where the “higher version” of sensuality exists.  It’s real, it’s special, it’s spiritual – and it’s a core piece of your true essence.  It is completely separate from sexuality!   In this episode: What’s your personal “mojo”?   What’s it really like to be fully embodied in your feminine sensual sovereignty?  (as opposed to putting yourself aside to attract or please a partner) What does research in quantum physics show us about the “energy behind the energy”? (also known as The God Particle, which aligns with our inner presence and essence)   What are some ways we can instantly connect to our creative life force?   Check out the full episode page here.  Here’s some exciting news: Deborah and I have separate events in October that will give you the opportunity to transform your experience of being a woman and letting your full embodiment enhance every aspect of your life.  Deb’s LIVE event is guaranteed to knock you alive. It’s a deep dive into YOU and it’s all happening October 11-13, 2019 in Los Angeles at ROCK YOUR MOJO WOMEN’S WEEKEND. Here’s THE BEST part!!!

This is a first for me – a totally unscripted, unedited episode.  (And since the podcast began, only the second one I’ve recorded solo.)  I share some personal and sacred musings and experiences that led me on a powerfully unexpected journey, culminating in a dissolution and “unraveling” of who I thought I was and what I thought I knew.  This mysterious historical woman, Mary Magdalene…why the fascination with her? What does she represent? Why is she making a comeback in our day and age? What did she know? I lay it all out in this recording – what drew me in, captivated me and illuminated a new way of thinking, feeling and becoming.  Since my girlhood, my search for the Sacred Feminine and understanding the eternal role and destiny of womanhood has been relentless. It’s only taken a mere 50 years for me to finally start to really see it, understand it, and honor it for what it is. Mary Magdalene? She authentically embodied it. In this episode: What is The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, how old is it and how did we get it?  Is it a legitimate sacred text? (spoiler alert: YES) According to early Christian art and writings, what were the “7 Demons” cast out of her? (another spoiler: not actually demons)     What is the greatest hunger we have as humans and why is this hunger often overlooked, downplayed, even frowned upon in many spiritual organizations, systems, religions, and institutions? (spoiler #3: it’s about soul sovereignty) What is the ultimate spiritual practice that Jesus taught Mary Magdalene, which she then tried to teach the other apostles after his death? (aaand the last spoiler: she knew how to access the Kingdom Within)         Come journey with us OCTOBER 24-26, 2019 at the Stand Speak Shine Retreat: “EMBODYING THE FEMININE DIVINE”  Details here!  Check out the full episode page here.

Robin Young (also known by her pen name, Mari Clairveaux) is an avid researcher who has extensively studied the Divine Feminine in Ancient Egyptian and Early Christian eras.  Her deep-dive exploration into Joseph of Egypt (“coat of many colors”) and his wife Aseneth opened up incredible insights into “divine couple” parity in Earth’s earliest civilizations.  Jesus and Mary Magdalene, it is believed by many researchers, also followed this male/female equality spiritual leadership model.  Mine and Robin’s discussion revolves around women being traditionally been less visible in most cultures, based on early divisions in belief systems that resulted in male-centric authority.  Yet, as we open our “eyes to see” – we will realize that The Divine Feminine has been hiding in plain sight all along. In this episode: How does the Gospel of Mary Magdalene show us the Pattern of Female Ascension?   How did Mary Magdalene help Christ to “fulfill the Law” and why isn’t this discussed more in religious settings? What were some of the ancient symbols of The Sacred Feminine from some of humanity’s earliest artwork and texts? How did ancient temple structures incorporate female deity?        Connect with Robin here:  Check out the full episode page here.

Aedamar Kirrane joins us from Ireland.  She is a lawyer turned philosopher; a spiritual writer specializing in the philosophy of Love. In 2015, at the age of forty-six, during the final semester of her BA in Philosophy and English in University College Dublin, Aedamar started to meditate, and within a matter of weeks she began to experience the preliminary stages of what transpired to be a profound Awakening to Love. Hear her story of coming into this awareness as a young mother and how it has evolved into her special mission. Aedamar and I had an instant and powerful connection online as we journeyed together in a feminine leadership/ Influencer’s Masterclass two years ago.      In this episode: What exactly is “Mysticism” and how has it been edged out of Christianity and traditional religious structures?  Why do we, as human beings, long to experience direct connection to Love and hence, to God?  (Hint: Nature and meditation are the strongest facilitators of this connection)  The sacred practice of creating peace in the ordinary daily tasks of life: why this is at the heart of your personal healing. (“Standing in a state of profound reverence for all creation, in all its forms.”) The longing in my heart of hearts, since my girlhood – how Aedamar reframed it – and as a result, managed to make me cry!          Check out Aedamar’s work on her website “Healing wasn’t meant to be complicated.” Check out the full episode page here.

Meet Chloe Mercer, a healer and teacher from England, awakening women to the “The Rose”; a galactic symbol of Ancient Mothers and Divine Feminine “oneness.”  Hear her story of coming into this awareness and her sacred mission through deep personal loss as a young mother. I met Chloe on an Avalon Priestess Pilgrimage to Glastonbury last year, an event she co-facilitated.  Her strength, beauty and wisdom was a joy to experience! Chloe taught me about the feminine connection to Yoga and the depth of connection to Divine Mother and the physical body.   In this episode: What is Mary Magdalene’s connection to the symbol of the Rose?  What do Jesus and Mary Magdalene show us about the “sacred union” of the of the masculine and feminine inside each of us? How does nature assist us in waking up to our soul essence and activate physical, emotional and spiritual healing? What is the true message of the Magdalene?

029:  Mary Magdalene Pt 2: Reclaiming Your Power & Identity After Abuse  What does the reclamation of power and identity have to do with Mary M? Oh goodness, where to start?! The Gospel of Mary Magdalene was part of the discovery of the Nag Hammadi ancient Christian texts, referenced as the Gnostic Gospels.  In these texts, Mary was referred to as “apostle to the apostles.” Yet, she’s been written right out of Christian history and has been the target of systemic patriarchal disassociation. Until now – the new era of the Feminine. Amber Richardson a scholar/researcher of feminist critical theory, is the podcast host of “On Sovereign Wings: For Women Seeking to Reclaim Their Power” and is the author of the soon-to-be released Woman, Crowned.  In this episode: Is it possible Christ communed with Female Deity/Heavenly Mother in His wilderness experiences and in the Garden of Gethsemane? What is our Mother actually like?  I mean, is She some docile, subservient, stand-in-the-background, soft, meek being? (You probably know where we’re going with that one!)  How can a Female Deity/Heavenly Mother be communed with during times of darkness and struggle – and in Amber’s case, when repressed memories surface? How can you raise the frequency in your heart as a means to heal from abuse?       Check out Amber’s work and her website “Healing wasn’t meant to be complicated!” Check out the full episode page here.

This is the first in our 6-Part Mary M series! And who better to start us out most epically than my new soul sister, Sera Beak.  She is an author, speaker and Harvard-trained theologian… and a powerful Divine Feminine mystic and scholar. As we’ll discuss in this episode, Mary Magdalene was the most named and most present at all major events in the life of Christ – so why has she been edged out of mainstream Christianity? The Gnostic Gospels call her “apostle to the apostles.”  Again, why has her voice been squelched?             In this episode: Trusting innate wisdom: Sera explains, “Your soul knows exactly what she is doing.” The Real Jesus/the Real Magdalene as the embodiments of the Divine Masculine/Sacred Feminine Establishing your soul voice while the Rise of the Feminine is upon is (and sisters…it IS upon us!)

Are you feeling bogged down with spiritual expectations?  There is “Exactness” and then there is Grace. There is “Absolutism” and then there is Nuance.

Suffocating sadness, feelings of sinking, drowning in the depths, the ache of deep self-loathing…How and why does depression strike in spiritual people?  Join me as I tackle this sensitive topic with Jane Clayson Johnson, an award-winning, nationally syndicated journalist and author of Silent Souls Weeping – Depression: Sharing Stories, Finding Hope. One of her life purposes as a mother, a woman of faith and a journalist is to shine a light on the desperate, dark, and lonely reality faced by those who struggle with clinical depression. Jane shares her own difficult experiences, along with others – particularly in the sociocultural context of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). Suicide is the leading cause of death for Utahns ages 10 to 17 and ages 18 to 24. It is the second leading cause of death for ages 25 to 44 and the fourth-leading cause of death for ages 45-64.  Utah’s Public Health Indicator Based Information System reports, “Completed suicides are only part of the problem. More people are hospitalized or treated in an emergency room for suicide attempts than are fatally injured. In 2014, the most recent data year available, 13 Utahns were treated for self-inflicted injuries every day.” Or, listen on your favorite app: iTunes (Apple Podcasts) | Spotify | Stitcher | Android| RadioPublic | Google Play Jane offers unique research and understanding on depression and suicide.   In this episode: Why do we work so hard to “prop up the façade” and hide our flaws, rather than get real and transparent?   How does cultural and familial shame contribute to situational depression? Why is there such a stigma about depression in religious and spiritual communities? How does “toxic perfectionism” come into play?   Check out Jane’s books and website   Check out Cherie’s 22 Day Depression Cleanse  (22 Days, 22 Minutes a Day, $22.00) “Healing wasn’t meant to be complicated.”   Check out the full episode page here.   Follow Cherie and Women Seeking Wholeness on Facebook.   ABOUT: Cherie Burton is a mom of 6, author, international speaker, emotional healing expert, business owner, leadership development trainer and Women Seeking Wholeness Podcast Host.

What is a shared-death experience?  You will find out on this fascinating episode, The Veil Pt 2, where I interview Dr. Jeff O’Driscoll, an attending emergency room physician while Jeff Olsen (in the previous podcast episode, The Veil Pt 1) was fighting for his life. While in the hospital room, Dr. Jeff shared a profound “lifting of the veil” experience with a nurse wherein they beheld Jeff Olsen’s wife who had passed on that day. Through this and other veil-rending experiences throughout his life, Dr. Jeff – like Jeff Olsen in the previous episode – has developed a larger vision for humanity and a respect for the unique paths of each human soul. After decades as a trauma one emergency room physician, he is now doing healing work and speaking full time. His book, Not Yet: Near Life Experiences and Lessons Learned is a 2018 Best of State Award Winner.   Dr. Jeff O’Driscoll’s personal mission creed is, “I exist to help souls heal.”  Beautiful, isn’t it? In this episode: What actually IS “the veil”? His profound experience with a homeless man in the Emergency Room Why it is imperative that we allow someone else the freedom to walk their own spiritual path, even – and especially – if it is not ours. What he would say to someone who says God respects our free agency and so, “He does not intervene.” Why is it so important to be OPEN to truth, in whatever source it comes from? And the bomb… Is there just “one way” to follow God? If you missed the previous episode, Episode 019: The Veil Pt 1: Beyond Religion, Beyond Beliefs, Beyond Death, please go back and listen! Jeffery C. Olsen shares how all of life is in divine order and how belief systems can really mess with our souls. (and not in a good way!) Plus, he shares his absolutely incredible near-death experience and trauma of losing his wife and their toddler son – as well as his leg.  I love the hearts and souls of these two Jeffs, my brothers in truth!

These next 2 episodes – The Veil Pt 1 & 2 – turned out to be very special.  Jeffery C. Olsen was the driver of the car involved in a horrific accident that claimed the lives of his wife and toddler son.  He had a profound near-death experience where he met his wife on the other side – she knew it wasn’t his time, although it was hers – and he returned to a battered and pain-wracked physical body.  After years of suffering and healing and trying to make sense of it all, Jeff developed “a new spiritual mind and heart” and thus, a totally new way of looking at life. Together, Jeff and I explore the deeper meaning of spirituality, religion and truth.  He's the creative director of BYU-tv, an international speaker, a spiritual healer, and bestselling author of the book “Knowing: Memoirs of a Journey Beyond the Veil and Choosing Joy After Tragic Loss.” Jeff says his greatest joy comes from being a husband and father. Be sure and tune in to the next episode, The Veil Pt 2 with Dr. Jeff O’Driscoll, who was an attending surgeon in the room while Jeff Olsen was fighting for his life, and who shared a profound beyond the veil experience with Jeff’s wife who had passed on that day.  I love the hearts and souls of these two Jeffs, my brothers in truth!  In this episode: Does God actually have a “favorite” people? What is the “knowing” that transcend thoughts and beliefs? What is the difference between religious practice and the “higher law”? How do you embrace your own divinity?  (and is this a sacrilege?) I loved it when he said, “All great leaders throughout history embraced their own divinity.”   Follow Jeff on Facebook. Check out the full episode here.

Nithya Shanti - internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher from India - has personally mentored me through some of my most intense life experiences! He’s a former Buddhist Monk and Ambassador of Conscious Living, who also holds an MBA. When I first met him about 6 years ago, I was struck with his very joyful countenance and peaceful way of being.  You will love his depth of wisdom and his amazing insight! One of his favorite things to say - in pretty much ANY circumstance- is, “How Wonderful.” In this episode: What is “Spiritual Bypassing”? What are the 3 Levels of Truth? How do we become as a “Serene Lake” in a stressful world? He even addresses the age-old question from every truth seeker, of every faith tradition, “WHERE IS GOD?”  (particularly in times of acute trauma, loss or abuse). Here’s a truth bomb Nithya recently shared with me: “If I accept the fact that my relationships are here to make me conscious, instead of happy, then my relationships become a wonderful SELF MASTERY TOOL that keeps re-aligning me with my higher purpose for living.”    Eckhart Tolle He has free content to read, watch and listen to on his website. https://nithyashanti.com/ Check out the full episode page HERE.  Follow me on Facebook.
