True power begins when you stop fighting battles and start living like an Emperor or Empress. In this episode William reveals the essential shift from the struggle-driven Hero's Journey into the Emperor or Empress Journey, a path of leverage, intentionality, and true freedom. Using powerful metaphors of maps versus reality and projector versus screen, he shows how success is not created by more sacrifice but by remapping the mind to project abundance and energy into every area of life, creating a life of freedom, prosperity, and legacy.Chapters(00:00) Introduction(02:51) Escaping Loops of Survival(04:26) Map vs Reality Metaphor(07:02) How Programming Shapes Your Outcomes(08:14) The Projection Principle of the Mind(10:12) Transition Into the Emperor/Empress Journey(13:27) Preparing for the Next Stage: The MagicianTake the Loop Quiz: https://loop.upgrd.com/Learn more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://upgrd.comFollow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/theupgrd

For thousands of years, Emperors of China had harems of dozens or even hundreds of wives. Emperors had the right to select concubines from among the teenage daughters of the nobility or the peasantry. During the Ming dynasty 5,000 beautiful woman were brought from around the country and lined up in front of the palace. They were narrowed down to just a handful who were admitted into the palace and had a chance of spending a night with the emperor. Inside the forbidden city, imperial wives had an intricate system of hierarchy. At the top was the Empress. She was usually chosen for her nobility and political connections. When the emperor died, she could claim the title Empress Dowager, and continue her influence through her son. Below her were consorts, then concubines and maids. The emperor alone had access to all of them, and they were closely guarded by eunuchs. If the Emperor favored a particular concubine for her beauty, brains, or for baring him a son, he had the right to promote her, even to the rank of Empress. Today lets met 7 imperial concubines who, through allure, sex appeal, child-birth, and or ruthlessness, managed to climb their way to power in Imperial China.

You know the Kladstrups. Frankly, anyone interested in wine, whether through in the trade or as a consumer, should/must read their first book on wine: Wine and War. Since they have published 3 more books and just releasing the latest: Eugenie; The Last Empress of France. I was honored to get an advanced copy of the book and we had a chance to sit and laugh, recall history and talk wine. Petie and Don Kladstrup have a peculiar knack for stumbling upon history's best-kept secrets, usually while chasing a good glass of wine or a mysterious letter in a Paris archive. In this episode of Wine Talks, you'll follow the Kladstrups as they unearth the remarkable story of Empress Eugenie—the last French Empress, a force of nature whose life is hidden in the shadows of her more famous male counterparts. Forget what you thought you knew about French wine and revolution; you'll come away not only with a fresh perspective on the grand cru vineyards of Bordeaux and the Champagne houses' enterprising widows, but with intimate knowledge of how Eugenie's untold story entwines itself with the very essence of France. Through the Kladstrups' lively banter, listeners will travel from the opulent halls of the Second Empire to the chaotic streets of Paris under siege, learn why an empress was once dismissed as a mere ornament, and discover how she transformed French education, fashion, architecture, and even agriculture—never mind her influential eye for haute couture and her trailblazing push for women's rights. History leaps off the page as Don and Petie describe the research adventures that led from wine cellars in exile to dusty university archives, weaving Eugenie's Spanish roots, shrewd business mind, and political resiliency into the culture of modern France. Experience the story of how personal ambition, societal prejudice, and the subtle power of a forgotten woman unravel through lost letters, chance encounters, and a passion for all things French—especially when there's a bottle uncorked at the finish line. This is not just history; it's the tale of how one extraordinary woman shaped a nation, told by those who know how to find magic in both a glass and a story.   Cakebread Cellars (referred to as the "Cake Bread family" in the transcript) Website: https://www.cakebread.com Veuve Clicquot (referred to as "V.

Discussing the next pair of cards in the Tarot turned into a strange weather pattern of emotions for the two hosts Sammy and Kristen. The Empress and Death takes them on a tour through abundant, sunny, embodied life and the cold, harsh winter of death. This episode speaks for itself; the task of risking the safety of performing to really live the dirty, grounded, imperfect life before we die.

In this episode, I share my personal story about my journey with the Divine Feminine — how my early relationship with religion shaped my understanding (or lack of understanding) of the Goddess, and how time (and a lot of healing) has shaped it into something far more sacred and sovereign.This episode is about the reclamation of the Empress — not just in the Tarot, but in the body, in relationships, and in our creative power. I speak about how our Queen of Tarot council (inside the YouTube membership) became a mystical gateway for invoking the Empress archetype herself… and how a season of life in Italy, where the presence of Mary saturated the landscape, cracked something wide open in me.If you've ever wrestled with shame, dogma, or suppression around your own feminine energy… or if you're on a path of healing the inner marriage between feminine and masculine… this one is for you.We're restoring the throne of the Feminine in our hearts and reclaiming the innate sovereignty of our Creative Source.—Mentioned in this episode:

This session is for the ones who've always felt there was more, more truth, more purpose, more magic to this life than what we've been told. You didn't stumble on this video by accident. You were guided here to remember who you are and why you came.

If you've ever felt connected to the stars, sensed memories of ancient lifetimes, or carried a deep soul knowing that you're here for something bigger, this session will activate your remembrance. We talk about starseeds, soul missions, the fall of Atlantis, interference, and why now is the most important moment to awaken and embody your divine blueprint.   This is your invitation to reclaim your sacred place in Earth's unfolding story. You are not here by mistake. You are here to fulfill a divine mission.  

Powerful, cunning, uncompromising, even murderous (allegedly)... meet Rome's first empress and one of ancient history's ultimate power players.Livia Drusilla has long been cast as the bloodthirsty matriarch of the early Roman Empire — wife of Augustus, mother of Tiberius, and alleged poisoner of rivals. But how much of this infamous image is fact and how much is fantasy? In this episode, Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr Emma Southon to peel back the layers of scandal and explore the real story behind Livia's complex legacy. Was she a scheming killer, or simply a shrewd survivor in a ruthless world?MOREZenobia: Queen of Palmyrahttps://open.spotify.com/episode/4o7gMb5tLk8f6nF0QirzcvThe Assassination of Julius Caesar:https://open.spotify.com/episode/0xKUDPitfx3rN1kN1hPI4HPresented by Tristan Hughes.

On this episode of The Wrestle Radio Show, we take the bold step into the creative trenches to reimagine the futures of two of WWE's most electrifying talents—Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka. Both dynamic and underutilized, these stars need a spark, and we're cooking up one of the most controversial strategies yet.What if the King of Strong Style and the Empress of Tomorrow joined forces with Logan Paul? Yes, that Logan Paul. Drawing on his polarizing presence and headline-grabbing past, we'll discuss how tapping into his infamous “suicide forest” controversy could amplify this trio's storytelling impact. Buckle up as we debate whether this edgy concept is a creative stroke of genius or a potential misfire too hot to handle.From building deeper character layers to generating conversations that transcend the squared circle, we break down how this clash of charisma, redemption arcs, and calculated risk-taking could not only rejuvenate Nakamura and Asuka's reputations but create one of the most buzzworthy angles in modern wrestling.If you're ready for unconventional ideas that push the envelope, this is an episode you don't want to miss!

Envisioning the Empress illuminates dynamic and powerful empresses who impacted not only women in their own time but whose influence extended to later generations of royalty, creating a greater role for imperial women and elevating the status of women's roles at a crucial juncture in Japanese history. The central focus of this book is visual monarchy, exploring how the empress' biographies were primarily expressed in visual culture and how their images worked in support of Japan's imperial policies in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.  The book begins with a brief overview of premodern and modern imperial women to orient the reader. In each chapter, different media, audiences, and distribution channels for constructing the narrative of feminine imperial power in Japan are addressed alongside biographical information. It is argued that the ultimate purpose of all of these images was to elevate the empress and promote her image as a conventional role model for modern women, but one with enough celebrity cache to maintain popularity. The images of the modern empresses, as distributed by the Imperial Household Agency, strike a balance between propaganda and popular media, noble philanthropist and upper-middle class role model, celebrity and mother of the nation. The modern empress image was crafted to be both exalted and approachable and worked to establish individual biographies while simultaneously establishing the position of the empress as timeless in the public eye. Envisioning the Empress introduces students of royal studies as well as modern Japanese history and art history to this fascinating element of the history of monarchy and women's history more broadly.

This is the only daily process you need to align your energy, activate your soul gifts, and manifest the future you're calling in. This MASTER process is your all-in-one energetic reset, activation, and manifestation portal. If you only did one practice every day, this would be it. As a seasoned channeller and energy worker, I've woven together my most powerful techniques, grounding, 5D Earth connection, heart and high heart activation, Light Language, source alignment, and quantum manifestation, into one soul-expanding practice you can return to daily. This is more than a meditation. It's a full-body frequency shift that clears what's not yours, reconnects you with your higher self, raises your vibration, and helps you collapse timelines to step into your most aligned, radiant reality.   We go into depth covering:

Thirty-three years after the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte’s Empire, his nephew (known as Napoleon III) became the first president of France before becoming emperor himself. Although he was a capable ruler and reformer, Napoleon III’s failed military campaigns, especially France’s loss to Germany in the Franco-Prussian War, led to his defeat, capture, and the fall of the Second French Empire and permanent eclipse of Germany in military power. Many historians have blamed Napoleon III’s wife for his failings. Eugénie de Montijo was a Spanish noblewoman who became the last French empress. She was a cultural tastemaker and activist for feminist equality, but many blame her blunders when she held power as regent for France’s worst failures and reckless rush into a ruinous war with Germany. But the story of her life has rarely been told in full. It was a career filled with glamour, achievement, and tragedy, as well as contributions that transformed the nation she ruled unlike any other royal noblewoman in Europe. She spearheaded movements in health and education to help transform France into a modern country. She pushed Parisian architecture toward steel and glass construction of buildings as well as for inclusion of green spaces throughout the city, many of which exist today.

You cannot become the Empress while still clinging to the Good Girl.In this episode of The Priestess Path, Katie guides you through the initiation of shedding the Good Girl mask - the part of you that's been trained to over-perform, over-give, and stay small in order to be liked, accepted, or approved of.This is the pathway to the Embodied Queen - the woman who is magnetic because she stands in her truth, holds her boundaries, and chooses herself first.Inside this episode: • The “Good Girl” programming: why it exists and how it keeps you stuck • The invisible ways women leak their power through people-pleasing and perfectionism • How to reclaim the part of you that is unapologetic, self-sourced, and deeply magnetic • The connection between embodiment, boundaries, and effortless attractionThis is about stepping out of performance and into your fullest, truest self - the version of you that gets to have it all because she honors her wholeness first.Your Invitation:If you're ready to dissolve the good girl, embody your Queen energy, and become the woman life cannot help but respond to, I invite you into The Embodied Empress.Book a private conversation with me about joining [here].Or Dm on socials below. ⸻Katie MoriartyHigh Priestess to High Performers & Embodied Empress Initiator.Katie Moriarty is the founder of Full Spectrum FEMME™, the international movement & luxury retreats bringing the Wild Woman to the Penthouse. Host of The Priestess Path podcast, ranked in the top 5% worldwide.Katie works in the field of feminine energetics & embodiment to guide powerful women into next-level wealth, full self expression & internal freedom - blending worldly success with deep spiritual activation.Connect with Katie Instagram - @thefullspectrumfemme Facebook - Katie Moriarty Website - InstalinksLinkedIn - Katie Moriarty

FASHION IS CIVILIZATION.  1/4: Liberty Equality Fashion: The Women Who Styled the French Revolution Hardcover – by  Anne Higonnet (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Liberty-Equality-Fashion-Styled-Revolution/dp/0393867951 Joséphine Bonaparte, future Empress of France; Térézia Tallien, the most beautiful woman in Europe; and Juliette Récamier, muse of intellectuals, had nothing left to lose. After surviving incarceration and forced incestuous marriage during the worst violence of the French Revolution of 1789, they dared sartorial revolt. Together, Joséphine and Térézia shed the underwear cages and massive, rigid garments that women had been obliged to wear for centuries. They slipped into light, mobile dresses, cropped their hair short, wrapped themselves in shawls, and championed the handbag. Juliette made the new style stand for individual liberty. The erotic audacity of these fashion revolutionaries conquered Europe, starting with Napoleon. Everywhere a fashion magazine could reach, women imitated the news coming from Paris. It was the fastest and most total change in clothing history. Two centuries ahead of its time, it was rolled back after only a decade by misogynist rumors of obscene extravagance. New evidence allows the real fashion revolution to be told. This is a story for our time: of a revolution that demanded universal human rights, of self-creation, of women empowering each other, and of transcendent glamor 120+ full color illustrations throughout 1789

In this episode, Athina takes you on a soul-deep journey into what it truly means to work with your Higher Self, and how doing so can completely shift your life, purpose, and abundance. She breaks down the soul's multidimensional anatomy, reveals how your soul family is supporting you from the other side, and shows you how to finally co-create your life with the guidance that's been whispering to you all along.   Think of this as a wake-up call to remember who you are. Athina shares why your Higher Self isn't separate from you, but an evolved part of you that holds your soul blueprint, divine mission, and next-level joy. And the best part? You've already been receiving its guidance (yes, those "random" nudges and inspired ideas, that's been your Higher Self all along).   Whether you're feeling disconnected, craving clarity, or ready to step into your power, this episode is a must-listen. You'll walk away with grounded practices to strengthen your connection, amplify your intuitive gifts, and start living in full alignment with your divine path.   We go into depth covering:

Summer Series - The Tarot: Your Inner Guide   Episode Summary In this episode, host Terri Ann Hyeiman kicks off a new summer series on the Tarot. She begins by discussing the current global climate, urging listeners to focus on freedom, love, and raising their consciousness rather than getting caught in fear and drama. The episode emphasizes summer as a time for introspection, rest, and connecting with your inner self. Terri Ann introduces the Tarot as a tool for self-discovery and intuition, not just fortune-telling. She debunks common myths, shares its history from a 15th-century Italian card game to a mystical tool, and explains the structure of a Tarot deck. The episode concludes with a collective Tarot reading for the month of July, using both the "Empowered Spirit" and "Wild Unknown" decks to provide clarity and guidance for the upcoming full moon.   Key Takeaways Focus on Freedom and Love: In challenging times, it's crucial to focus on what brings you freedom and happiness. Contribute to a collective consciousness of love to raise the global vibration. Embrace Summer's Energy: Summer is a season for rest, relaxation, and introspection. It's an opportunity to nurture the seeds of intention planted in the spring and connect with your soul. Process, Don't Suppress: Be mindful of how you handle your emotions. Instead of using distractions like food, shopping, or alcohol, learn to process your feelings to foster spiritual growth. The Tarot as a Tool for Intuition: The Tarot is an oracle that can help you bypass your logical mind and tap into your intuition. It's a way to understand yourself and your path on a deeper level. Anyone Can Read Tarot: You don't need to be a gifted psychic to read Tarot cards. It's a skill that can be learned by anyone willing to tune into their intuition. The Hero's Journey in Tarot: The structure of the Tarot, particularly the Major Arcana, mirrors the "Hero's Journey," representing the cycles of growth, challenges, and lessons in our own lives. July Collective Tarot Reading Theme for July: The reading points to a period of re-evaluating what truly brings you happiness and freedom. It's a time for creative new beginnings and connecting with the divine feminine and Mother Earth. Empowered Spirit Deck Reading: Focus (10 of Earth, Reversed): Are you truly happy with what you've built? A call to review your life and possessions to ensure they bring you joy, not just accumulation. Influences: The Son of Water suggests being mindful of people-pleasing tendencies. The Empress encourages birthing new creative projects and connecting with nature. The Strength card (reversed) calls for stepping out of your comfort zone to build the life you desire. Wild Unknown Deck Reading: Focus (The Lovers, Reversed): A message about understanding the duality of love within yourself. It's about being true to your own path to attract what aligns with you. Influences: The Four of Swords warns against mental chatter and self-doubt. The Daughter of Wands encourages seeking inspiration and embracing innocence. The Fool signifies taking a leap of faith and stepping into a truer version of yourself.

Today on Sense of Soul we have Lalania Simone, she is a multi-faceted author, artist, and mystic devoted to a path of liberation and awakening. Her early questioning of religious dogma launched her lifelong spiritual journey. She has lived in and experienced both the grit and soul of cities such as San Diego, Denver, and Brooklyn. The fusion of Lalania's esoteric knowledge and her experience in urban society creates a unique Urban Soul Warrior perspective. She understands the power of frequency and is dedicated to raising the vibration of the planet. Lalania is the creatrix of Tarot of the Cosmic Seed, the Oracle of Awakening and the upcoming Wise Earth Medicine Tarot. She also creates sacred crystal talismans to amplify particular energies. She is the author of Urban Soul Warrior: Self Mastery in the Midst of the Metropolis, a book written with the intention to make spiritual concepts accessible. Lalania is one of the co-owners of Alchemy Ritual Goods- a metaphysical store in Denver, which offers Ancestral Medicine Clinic, a sliding scale clinic offering multiple modalities dedicated to healing and spiritual liberation. In an effort to decolonize the tarot, remove outdated ideas of hierarchy, and shift ingrained gender norms, Lalania, founder of Alchemy Ritual Goods, has created a lush and vibrant deck with unique imagery and symbolism and an array of people and cultures. Having renamed the royalty cards—including the Hierophant, Emperor, Empress, and the court cards—Lalania has expanded their interpretation into energy signatures rather than personality types. The result is a deeply diverse spiritual tool, a bridge to the mysterious and the esoteric, as well as a guide to the everyday. Using the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition as a foundation, this deck offers a twist: there is a twenty-third card added to the Major Arcana—The Cosmic Seed, a representative of us all as infinite, cosmic spirits, enmeshed in sacred flesh for a time on this Earth. https://cosmicseedstudio.com www.senseofsoulpodcast.com

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, Religious Lectionary: 370The Saint of the day is Saint Aloysius GonzagaSaint Aloysius Gonzaga's Story The Lord can make saints anywhere, even amid the brutality and license of Renaissance life. Florence was the “mother of piety” for Aloysius Gonzaga despite his exposure to a “society of fraud, dagger, poison, and lust.” As a son of a princely family, he grew up in royal courts and army camps. His father wanted Aloysius to be a military hero. At age 7 Aloysius experienced a profound spiritual quickening. His prayers included the Office of Mary, the psalms, and other devotions. At age 9 he came from his hometown of Castiglione to Florence to be educated; by age 11 he was teaching catechism to poor children, fasting three days a week, and practicing great austerities. When he was 13 years old, he traveled with his parents and the Empress of Austria to Spain, and acted as a page in the court of Philip II. The more Aloysius saw of court life, the more disillusioned he became, seeking relief in learning about the lives of saints. A book about the experience of Jesuit missionaries in India suggested to him the idea of entering the Society of Jesus, and in Spain his decision became final. Now began a four-year contest with his father. Eminent churchmen and laypeople were pressed into service to persuade Aloysius to remain in his “normal” vocation. Finally he prevailed, was allowed to renounce his right to succession, and was received into the Jesuit novitiate. Like other seminarians, Aloysius was faced with a new kind of penance—that of accepting different ideas about the exact nature of penance. He was obliged to eat more, and to take recreation with the other students. He was forbidden to pray except at stated times. He spent four years in the study of philosophy and had Saint Robert Bellarmine as his spiritual adviser. In 1591, a plague struck Rome. The Jesuits opened a hospital of their own. The superior general himself and many other Jesuits rendered personal service. Because he nursed patients, washing them and making their beds, Aloysius caught the disease. A fever persisted after his recovery and he was so weak he could scarcely rise from bed. Yet he maintained his great discipline of prayer, knowing that he would die three months later within the octave of Corpus Christi, at the age of 23. Reflection As a saint who fasted, scourged himself, sought solitude and prayer, and did not look on the faces of women, Aloysius seems an unlikely patron of youth in a society where asceticism is confined to training camps of football teams and boxers, and sexual permissiveness has little left to permit. Can an overweight and air-conditioned society deprive itself of anything? It will when it discovers a reason, as Aloysius did. The motivation for letting God purify us is the experience of God loving us in prayer.
