In this episode, I'm wrapping up my Goddess series by diving into the world of the Modern Goddess—what she meant to our Neolithic ancestors and how she still lives in us today. Inspired by my journey through Old Europe and the work of archeomythologist Marija Gimbutas, I explore goddess-worshiping cultures and the rich symbolism they left behind—like the snake, the egg, and sacred water—as guides for understanding cycles of life, death, fertility, rest, and regeneration.But this isn't just a look at ancient history. I share practical, grounded ways to embody the goddess in your daily life today—through community care, seasonal and cyclical living, everyday rituals, and even the herbal allies I keep close (sometimes literally in my pockets!). If you're longing to reconnect with the Earth, slow down, and live in a more regenerative rhythm, this episode is an invitation to awaken the goddess within and bring her spirit into the heart of your modern life.

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores emotional vulnerability.Have you ever wondered why you shield yourself from vulnerability? Have you convinced yourself that your protective armour keeps you safe when, in truth, it imprisons you and denies you genuine connection and growth?This episode explores how to choose openness over fear, authenticity over illusion, and freedom over self-imposed limitations. Vulnerability is an act of trust, not in others, but in yourself. It is a quiet, powerful reclamation of who you have always been.Read the blog post that inspired this episode: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/embracing-vulnerabilityOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

In this podcast David and Urpi discuss the power of Love and the courage needed to disappear into Love. The first verse of the song Courageously Disappear into Love is directly below:Courageously Disappear into LoveI lay down my story in the hands of Light, (Entrego mi historia en manos de la Luz,)I surrender my shadow to the wings of flight, (Entrego mi sombra a las alas del vuelo,)I voy walk through the fire, I drop every glove (Camino por el fuego, dejo cada defensa,)I courageously disappear into Love.(Desaparezco valientemente en el Amor.)

Singer-songwriter May Erlewine’s new album offers a different side of an artist known for warm, intimate lyrics and bespoke acoustic arrangements. But the qualities that draw fans into May Erlewine’s music are still here, just with a less-compliant exterior. What It Takes is the second album she’s made with friend and producer Theo Katzman, of the post-funk band Vulfpeck. Erlewine has been thinking about the chaos of the moment and the moral choices she feels compelled to make. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textApril Thacker joins us to share her extraordinary journey from childhood spiritual encounters to becoming a professional psychic medium. Having experienced near-death moments as a young child, April recalls seeing a crystal village and feeling surrounded by love – early glimpses into the spiritual realm that would later become her calling.Most fascinating is April's account of the "Hat Man" – a shadowy figure in a hat and trench coat that visited her as a child. This wasn't just imagination; the Hat Man is a documented phenomenon reported by people worldwide, though his purpose remains mysterious. These early encounters initially frightened April into shutting down her abilities until divine timing intervened when she met her future mother-in-law – a woman raised by gypsies who practiced tarot reading.The conversation takes an illuminating turn as April describes how trauma healing unlocked her mediumship abilities. Courageously sharing her experiences with childhood abuse, alcoholism in her family, and sexual trauma, April demonstrates how these painful experiences became tools for helping others. Whether you're curious about developing your own intuitive abilities or seeking inspiration in healing past wounds, April's story offers both practical guidance and profound hope. To learn more about April or to work with her:Visit her website: sacreddreamer.simdif.comFollow her on TikTokClairvoyaging is now a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a 501(c)(3) charity, so any donations are now tax deductible.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 728 Is the real reason you've never felt ‘good enough' hiding in the conversations you're terrified to have with yourself? Vasavi Kumar, Therapist + Visibility Coach, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 728, to reveal why speaking your truth out loud is the key to claiming self-worth and real freedom, and how daily mirror work, honest self-talk, and embracing your authentic voice can shift the trajectory of your life, relationships, and mental health. "Many people struggle with having a cluttered mind. You need to say it out loud. Get it out of your head. Get it out into the ether. Don't keep it inside. Allow yourself to say the thing that is taking up space in your mind so that you can have a mind that actually is thriving and peaceful within." - Vasavi Kumar

3/7/25 am CT Hour - Fr. Bob Pagliari/ Bishop Daniel Mueggenborg John, Glen and Sarah give an update on Pope Francis health, talk tariffs, Governor Newsome's new podcast, turning the clocks back and more. Fr. Bob talks about St. Joseph and how we can look to him as an example of courageous hope during the Jubilee year. Bishop Mueggenborg reflects on Jesus' time in the desert and how we are temped today.

Can you relate to this: just when I think life's under control, and a problem averted or solved, something new comes crashing in?!Perhaps, you've finally decided to trust God, again, and you even make steps to loosen the death grip on life, then…CRASH…BANG! You open your eyes to another tough parenting moment, a hard season of marriage, work demands, a health crisis, and more unexpected storms in life's forecast. Suddenly you're spiraling from a mountaintop Instagram-worthy post into the valley...again.Climbing our way back up the mountain of happiness, from the hard pit, week after month after year is exhausting!The cycle then repeats, and back we go to a death grip on life and relationships due to prior disappointment in letting go.In truth- my invisible cloak of self-reliance was a self-made shield against not only experiencing disappointment from others but most of all by God. My buy-in to the distorted lies of self-made strategy and resourcefulness eroded my faith in Christ alone and prayer. Worry and striving became normalized and ‘just trusting in God a risk.In our roles as wives and mothers, we manage, fix, and control many things, especially within the walls of our minds. Isn't that what strong women do? In honest conviction, I could worship at church, serve in ministry, share the gospel, and even read the Bible about trusting God and faith, yet still deny the necessity of surrendering to the smallest level of my thoughts.Doesn't the Bible say, “We can do all things through Christ” (Philippians 4:13)? Yet somehow, 'through Christ' became a more suggestive afterthought, rather than as the mandate requisite.Deeply underneath all of the exhaustive striving efforts, and need to control, is something that can't be run from: fear.* Am I doing enough?* Is God really in control? * If not me, won't everything fall apart?The lie of Satan is- to carry these burdens, on our own. Nevertheless, we're crumbling under the weight! Unfortunately, our marriages and children feel the whiplash of our bottled-up bitterness, fear, and anxiety. It's time to let it go!Each day, consider trying a momentary heart assessment with the truth from the Holy Spirit, John 16:13, and allow Him to reveal things hindering us from surrender.The truth of Jesus Christ- is to “come, follow me”. Courageously give Jesus all of the mess around us, and the over-powering storm of emotions and internal intangibles such as anxiety, despair, bitterness, excessive negativity, and worry.“For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.” -Mark 8:35Victory is experienced through faith to let go. That's a crazy paradox! However, our surrender is not done blindly or by chance, instead it's a daily intentional decision to trust Yahweh, LORD, the One who independently sustains it all. Consider a quick mental exercise: Meditate on the names of God to renew your thinking and exchange destroyers, such as fear, doubt, being overwhelmed, anxiety, and overthinking for the unshakeable peace of Jesus Christ.* El Roi – The Lord who sees you, everyday-all day.* Yahweh Raah – The Lord who guides as a devoted and loving shepherd.* El Elyon – The Lord that reigns above all and is fully in control.So, about this podcast episode- let's jump back into our Book of Psalm reading journey, next up is Psalm 108. A real battle is underway 24/7, and it's mandatory, not a cute suggestion, to stand 10 toes down and all-out fight from our seated position in Christ (Colossians 3:1); the real battle strategy that wins against control. Are you ready? Trust the One who never fails.Let's do it together, each day shoulder to shoulder.Cheering for you!Brittany This is a public episode.

We believe God loves us and, therefore, we can love. Jesus came to reveal the Father and give us access to Him (John 14:6-7), shaping our understanding of God, people, and the world. ❤️ Our Relationship with God We don't see God as angry or distant but as a loving Father who created us to love us. Even in our rebellion, He pursued us and sent Jesus so we could be restored (John 3:16). We serve Him out of love, walking in grace, not fear.

The world feels more uncertain than ever. Maybe you're waking up to another devastating headline, another disaster, another blow to your freedoms and rights. Maybe you're carrying the stress of making the right leadership decisions—decisions that go against the status quo. In those moments when you need to take bold action—whether you're speaking up, launching something big, or standing firm in your truth—you may feel the tight grip of fear keeping you stuck. But here's the truth, It benefits those in power to keep you scared & in inaction and courage isn't the absence of fear—it's staying emotionally centered despite uncertainty.

Jupiter (Wise One) in Gemini squares Saturn (Responsible One) in Pisces for the second time in its current 10-month cycle that started last August. Continue to reassess your key life directions and structures that you initiated around four years ago. Notice the inner and outer feedback you've been receiving about what to keep doing or being. Mercury (Communicator) in Sagittarius opposes Jupiter and squares Saturn supporting you to challenge narratives of complacency and criticism. Open to the bigger picture. Venus (Relational One) in Aquarius squares Uranus (Maverick) in Taurus catalyzing more spaciousness and freedom in your relationships. You be you and let everyone else be them. Chiron (Healer-Shapeshifter) goes forward in Aries after five months of being retrograde. Courageously move forward in your life from a place of deep self-acceptance.Podcast poem: "Threshold" by Mark Coleman Support the showUse Sheila's referral code to shop for astrology books and gifts at Chani: https://bit.ly/4a3AfqMGo to Sheila's website for information on workshops, online courses and to subscribe to her weekly newsletter: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.comFollow Sheila: https://www.instagram.com/ontheedgesofchange https://www.pinterest.com/ontheedgesofchange

Ever found yourself confidently heading in the wrong direction, both on the road and in life? Join us as we share laugh-out-loud tales of getting lost, from preschool pickup to cruise ship misadventures, and unravel how these experiences mirror the way we often unknowingly drift from our true paths in relationships and careers. This lighthearted reflection serves as a reminder that it's crucial to recognize the signs and recalibrate before things spiral out of control. We take a moment to ponder the wisdom of King Solomon, exploring how seemingly right choices can lead us astray. Courageously owning up to these missteps is the first step toward genuine authenticity and peace. By revisiting some hard-learned lessons, we aim to inspire a journey back to a place of clarity and purpose. Our conversation threads through the spirit of the Christmas story, suggesting that Jesus offers more than just guidance—He is the path itself, inviting us to embrace transformative truths.The episode crescendos with a powerful exploration of forgiveness, freedom, and faith. Through the liberating power of confession and honesty, we find that acknowledging our faults offers a path to healing. Emphasizing trust in Jesus, whether as a new belief or a renewed commitment, we extend an invitation for reflection and a call to action. Together, we navigate the challenges of life's demands and the relief that comes with embracing a renewed life filled with hope and authenticity.Support the showMade a decision to follow Jesus?

America, and the church inside it, is facing an identity crisis as we wrestle over who we want to become as Christians and as a country and what story we want to tell through the way of life we embody. We have two competing visions shaping men and leaders across our society. One of these visions perpetuates tragedy, while the other minimizes it. We'll start by exploring the latter. #courage #masculinity #leadership #responsibility --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sharelife/support
