In this episode, Regena Thomashauer, bestselling author + founder of The School of Womanly Arts, joins us for a bold conversation about pleasure, the nervous system, self-worth, and feminine power. She shares why reconnecting with your body can change the way you move through your entire life. Regena opens up about her own trauma, the moment she realized success couldn't heal what was happening underneath, and how pleasure became an unexpected path back to herself. She also shares what it means to trust your desire, even when life hasn't unfolded on the timeline you imagined. This episode is a reminder that you are not here just to achieve, caretake, and hold everything together. We explore what becomes possible when you let yourself feel more, receive more, and reconnect with the part of you that knows you're meant to be fully alive. We also talk about: Why women are taught to disconnect from their bodies + pleasure How shame around the female body can disconnect us from confidence + intuition Why Regena believes pleasure can help regulate the nervous system The difference between sexuality + erotic aliveness What happened when Regena realized her identity had become completely wrapped up in helping other people Her “on our knees” moment + the decision to finally turn inward How grief, fear, and desire can coexist during periods of deep uncertainty Using movement to help emotions move through the body The stories of Lilith, Psyche, Demeter, and Persephone + what they can teach us about feminine power Why women don't have to shrink themselves to be loved or accepted Resources: Website: https://mamagenas.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mamagena Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mamagena Sponsors:  Naturium | Give your skin the affordable, luxurious glow up it deserves.

Edited Transcript Below for Readers on Substack. A pivotal astrological week centered on the Lunar Eclipse on August 28 and a rare sequence of personal planets (Sun, Mercury, Venus) crossing the South Node and Regulus at 0° Virgo — a pattern Louise frames as accelerating the "fall of kings" and a long-term paradigm shift toward humility, stewardship, and inner work. The overarching theme is surrender, self-care, and transformation amid heightened emotional intensity.Venus Retrograde Heroine's Journey 2026 https://www.louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026Features and Press ReleasesUSA Today! https://www.usatoday.com/press-release/story/39476/louise-edington-launches-landmark-venus-retrograde-program-as-she-approaches-15-years-in-business/https://www.womansworld.com/contributors/louise-edington-fear-astrologyhttps://feedvoice.com/louise-edington-on-why-midlife-women-are-turning-to-astrology-for-self-trust-instead-of-self-improvement/International Business Times https://www.ibtimes.com/louise-edington-reclaiming-language-stars-through-intuition-embodiment-matrifocal-wisdom-3803596Wellness Voice https://wellnessvoice.com/louise-edington-on-reclaiming-the-language-of-the-stars-through-intuition-embodiment-and-matrifocal-wisdom/Red Seeds Tarot https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheRedSeedsW.I.T.C.H.

First call is October 1st. The price is holding through the end of August, so this week is your last chance at the current rate.

Just be honest. louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026My article — “Can We Let Evolutionary Astrology Evolve?” — is on Substack now. I'm not calling for anyone to cancel evolutionary astrology as a whole. I'm calling for patience, grace, and recognition that the practice itself is already evolving — which is rather fitting. I've had people come out of the woodwork in response to it, in good ways, and there will be follow-ups.

Live calls, community, and the monthly Ask Me Almost Anything. Link below. Membership is OFF Substack going forward.The Big Picture: Three Planets Cross RegulusBefore we move into the week, I want to give you the context that has been building for months — because it reaches a significant milestone this week.Regulus — the Royal Star, one of the four great fixed stars of the ancient sky — moved from Leo into Virgo from our perspective in late 2011. Before Virgo, it spent approximately 2,160 years in Leo. Before that, 2,160 years in Cancer. And before that, Gemini.The astrologer Michael Lutin — rest in peace, a truly lovely man — apparently wrote about Regulus's ingress into Virgo in practically every post after it happened. His words, which I keep coming back to: “Long after this foolish war is over, Regulus in Virgo will produce beings — the future stewards of the Earth and planets. The goddesses.” And he also said: kings in rags.Now here is where we are this week: the three most personal solar system bodies — Venus, the Sun, and Mercury — are all crossing the South Node and then Regulus, one after another, for the first time since the South Node met Regulus at 0° Virgo.Venus crossed first. The Sun crossed last week. And this Tuesday: Mercury crosses the South Node and then meets Regulus.These are the three bodies closest to the Sun — the inner solar system, our most personal planetary energies. In order from Sun outward: Mercury, Venus, Earth. All three crossing that symbolic drain and meeting Regulus in its new sign. Not kings. Something different. Something more humble, more curious, more meaningful, more Virgo.I also want to mention the larger wheel. I believe the turning of the ages began in 1781, when Uranus was discovered — that moment of collective breakthrough also marked the start of the Industrial Revolution. It takes a very long time to turn the great wheel. We are roughly three ages back from when the descent began — Gemini to Cancer to Leo — and now, with Regulus in Virgo, we are at the point between the descent and the return. Beginning to push back up. That is where we are.Three Out-of-Bounds Bodies — and a PrescriptionThis week, the Moon, Mars, and Pluto are all out of bounds simultaneously. That is not nothing.The Moon out of bounds means our emotions are running beyond the normal range — heightened, eccentric, more extreme in some direction.Mars out of bounds (since August 3rd) means protective instincts and defensive reactions have been especially reactive. Mars in Cancer is already sensitive and protective; out of bounds, it's been operating well beyond convention. The good news: Mars comes back in bounds on Friday the 28th, the eclipse day.Pluto out of bounds happens for about three months around this time of year, and will continue until 2035 — after which Pluto never goes out of bounds again in any of our lifetimes. Rosie Finn's book Persephone's Revolution documents the pattern: Pluto out of bounds to the south has historically coincided with people rising up, more peaceful collective energy. Pluto out of bounds to the north coincided with the Second World War. We are in the south-running period. That is, in Rosie's words, the revolution.The prescription for all of this: radical self-care. Not the usual amount. More than you'd normally think necessary. Out-of-bounds planets go beyond the norm — so your self-care needs to go beyond your norm too. Keep your boundaries. Retreat when you need to. Do what genuinely restores you.The Cards — A First GlanceFrom the Red Seeds Tarot and the Witch Oracle: The Hanged Goddess (upright!), Two of Bees reversed, Queen of Seeds reversed, and The Companion.Pause. Inner turmoil. Inner pillars. And your body as the cauldron. Every single card is pointing in the same direction: inward. More at the end.Day by DaySunday, August 23 — Sun Meets Regulus. The Third Great Crossing Begins.The Moon in Capricorn, out of bounds, opens the week by opposing Ceres — the Great Mother, the one I wrote my book on. Self-care first. What are your needs right now, really? Then the Moon squares Neptune — forming a mutable T-square that forces change and says: surrender. Let go. Trust the flow.At 3:12am Eastern, the Sun meets Regulus exactly at 0°11' Virgo. Venus is already past this point, heading ahead. Now the Sun has joined her. Two personal planets past the drain, past Regulus, heading toward what comes next — including the Venus Star Point, the Cazimi in Scorpio, on October 23rd. (That Star Point, incidentally, squares 20° Aquarius — a potent point I'll speak to more in the Venus class.)Venus is now falling in the sky — every morning in the east she rises closer and closer to the rising Sun, descending back toward conjunction. We are in the falling phase of her cycle. The invitation: more humility, more curiosity, more meaning, more Virgo. Less performance, less pedestal energy. Let it go.Happy birthday, Virgo humans. Your season is carrying something remarkable.Mercury in Leo trines Eris — the messenger meeting the original table-turner. Eris does not like artifice. She does not like the glitz and vanity and pedestal energy of shadow Leo. She is the one who says I was created equal and I will not submit — and she says it again now through Mercury. Expect more news of people falling from pedestals. More truth being spoken. More of the old guard losing its grip.The Moon opposes Mars (both out of bounds — very heightened), then conjuncts Asteroid Lilith (talk to the hand, enough) and Pholus (Pandora's box wide open). We've had enough. The lid is coming off more things. There is grief in all of this. There is loss. People are going to be feeling it this week — whether it's playing out in their personal lives or in the collective. Both are real.The Sun in Virgo trines Chiron — an Earth trine. Healing the wounds around being human. Around how we've treated each other. Around our severed relationship with the Earth itself. This is an ongoing theme for the Chiron-in-Taurus years, and the Sun newly in Virgo is making it tangible.The out-of-bounds Moon squares Saturn retrograde — initiating, letting go of old institutions, old rules, old self-limiting beliefs. The structures that are stagnant. They are going.Monday, August 24 — Capricorn Moon. Radical Self-Care. The Inner Crossroads.The Moon is still out of bounds in Capricorn all day — and Capricorn Moons can feel a bit cold, emotionally blunt. With everything going on right now, you or people around you may seem more shut down than usual. That's self-protection, not coldness. Give yourself and others some latitude.The prescription is clear: more self-care than you normally think you need. Out-of-bounds planets go beyond the norm. Match that.The Moon squares Venus — both out of bounds, both in their own way asking: what do we value? What are we creating? What relationships, contracts, and connections need new boundaries? Where are we letting go of the old and building something genuinely different?Mercury trines Vesta — the messenger in conversation with the inner flame. This isn't coming from outside. The flame is within. The article I wrote on evolutionary astrology (link below) speaks to this — the turning of astrology toward helping people explore their interior landscape, rather than telling them what it means.The Moon sextiles Nessus — seeing the toxins within and without. Bloodletting the inherited poisons, the patterns that have been running. Then the Moon squares Pallas Athena — wise strategy, wise justice. How are we going to fight for this? And how do we find the strategy within ourselves first?Mercury opposes Hecate at 28°57' Aquarius. Hecate — the torchbearer at the crossroads, the triple moon goddess — is in the sign of the future, the collective, the Aquarian North Node. Mercury opposing her says: the crossroads is within. The way forward is through the interior, not through the external drama. Tune in.The Moon squares Eris to close the day — tables still turning, within and without.Tuesday, August 25 — Mercury Crosses the South Node. Mercury Meets Regulus. Vesta Stations Retrograde.Three major events. One day.At 5:01am Eastern, the Moon enters Aquarius — back in bounds, or very close to it, stepping into the sign of the future.At 5:04am Eastern, Mercury conjuncts the South Node. The drain. The third major personal planet to cross this threshold since the South Node met Regulus at 0° Virgo.First Venus crossed — love, values, our relationship to all things, our social and material world. Then the Sun — the very core of our solar system, our identity, the ego and the heart simultaneously. Now Mercury — the mind, the voice, communication, the messenger between worlds.Three, in succession. All releasing through the drain. All letting go of old ideas, old beliefs, old ways of thinking about leadership and hierarchy and who gets to be on a pedestal.And then: at 7:04am, Mercury enters Virgo. Crossing from Leo (the voice of the heart) into Virgo (the meaningful, discerning, humble voice). Mercury is strong in Virgo — curious, detail-oriented, wanting to find the meaning, wanting to get it right not for praise but because doing the right thing matters.At 9:26am, Mercury conjuncts Regulus at 0° Virgo.Three planets. Venus. Sun. Mercury. All having now crossed Regulus in Virgo for the first time since the South Node met it. All going down the drain of the age of kings, and emerging — more humble, more curious, more Virgo. Kings in rags. Future stewards of the Earth and planets. The goddesses.I am just like... I love astrology. And I love Michael Lutin for seeing this.The Moon in Aquarius then squares Haumea, trines Sedna (adapt or die, but also — so many kinds of death), and conjuncts Pluto — the basket activation again. The Moon carries the collective emotional energy through the 4° basket degree, four legs of stability, and we are held.At 2:01pm Eastern, Vesta stations retrograde. Vesta — the inner flame, focus, commitment, sacred devotion — goes retrograde. And look at the Aries cluster now: Neptune retrograde, Manwë retrograde, Saturn retrograde, Pallas Athena retrograde, Eris retrograde, and now Vesta retrograde. All those Aries energies — the new beginning, the identity in the emerging aeon — going back, reviewing, revisiting. We are not finished with what Aries has been teaching us about who we are becoming. The retrograde does not cancel the flame. It turns it inward to assess what it's actually devoted to.Mercury in Virgo trines Chiron — and I want to sit with this one. Virgo, in the older traditions, was the healer, the witch, the medicine carrier, the one with the pouch of herbs who knew how to tend bodies and communities. Chiron is the wounded healer, the shaman, the one who becomes medicine through the wound. Together: be the medicine. Not just know about healing. Embody it.The Moon then trines Uranus — the basket activates again, and we are held in it. Still. Despite everything.Wednesday, August 26 — Moon Opposes Jupiter. The Pedestal Shadow.The Aquarius Moon opposes Jupiter and Hygieia in Leo — and I find this potent. Jupiter in Leo is the expander in the sign of kings, of leaders, of the performer. And now the Moon — the people, the collective emotions — is directly across from it, in the sign of the future.What we're starting to see, I think, is not just the fall of individual gurus and leaders. We're starting to see the shadow of how we've participated in putting them there. Not just in them, but in us. The energy of wanting someone to tell us the answers. The hunger for authority figures. The guru culture, the cult-of-personality culture, the tendency to surrender our inner judge to someone else's version of truth. Jupiter expanded all of that. Now we're looking at it clearly.Jupiter will go retrograde at some point soon, which means it will turn back to review that Leo territory more carefully. Watch that.The Moon sextiles Saturn — self-limiting beliefs, old structures. Let them go. And Mercury sextiles Haumea — the Great Mother of regeneration. All three personal planets are now moving toward Scorpio, toward the Venus Star Point, toward the Venus and Mercury retrogrades. It is going to be intentional. The Venus class exists to help you work with this from the inside out — the meditations are channeled, not scripted, so each journey is genuinely different.Thursday, August 27 — Moon Into Pisces. Mercury Cazimi at 4° Virgo. Moon Conjuncts North Node.The Moon moves through Aquarius — sextiling Pallas Athena (strategy), conjuncting Chariklo (the cosmic doula is holding space for the story we're weaving), sextiling Eris and Vesta (burn things off, from devotion and inner flame) — and then meets Hecate at the crossroads. Always. She is always there.And then the Mercury Cazimi — the Sun and Mercury meet exactly, in a superior (exterior) conjunction at 4° Virgo. Mercury is behind the Sun from our perspective, meaning it's on the far side — gathering information from outer space, which it then channels through the solar core. These exterior Cazimis are often moments of receiving rather than transmitting: something is coming in that Mercury will carry forward toward the coming retrograde.4° Virgo. The basket degree, again. Four legs of the table. When the basket peaked in July, the Moon at 4° of Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn each activated the whole configuration in turn. Now Mercury and the Sun meet at 4° Virgo. The messenger is filled with what it needs to carry toward the Venus retrograde and then into its own retrograde in Scorpio. Information from the far side, encoded in the cauldron, to be distilled in the descent to come.At 3:03pm Eastern, the Moon enters Pisces — and the emotional waters deepen as we move toward the eclipse tomorrow. The Moon sextiles Chiron and trines Haumea — a water grand trine still operational, eroding, regenerating. The Moon squares Sedna — adapt, or be changed. The Moon conjuncts the North Node — the Aquarian future, the care-for-each-other energy, the people rising up. Forget the labels. Just vote for the person who genuinely wants to care for people. They are human. They will not be perfect. But listen to what they say.Friday, August 28 — Venus Day. The Lunar Eclipse. Mars Back in Bounds.The full lunar eclipse post and video cover all the detail — please do go and read/watch those. But here's what matters from this forecast's perspective.The eclipse is at 4° Pisces/Virgo — the basket degree, the number of stability. Four legs. We are held.Mars moves back in bounds on this day. He's been out of bounds since August 3rd — erratic, sensitive, defensive, more extreme than usual. Now, at last, he comes back within the established range. You may notice a very slight settling of some of that reactive, overly self-protective energy. Mars in Cancer at its highest is the fierce guardian — protective of home and family, yes, but from love rather than fear.Mercury square Uranus exactly at 5° — number of change. Radical shift in perceptions. Could come as shocking news, shocking falls, or shocking good news. The Uranian energy doesn't telegraph which. Stay awake.The Moon in Pisces trines Ceres — amid eclipse energy, Ceres in Cancer says: meet your needs. Take care of yourself. Your family and community. There may be grief around ancestors, around family, around inheritance. Let the water move through.The Sun in Virgo sextiles Ceres and squares Uranus — more eclipse activation, more radical change in the practical, meaningful sign of Virgo. This is the call to do things differently in the everyday, the ordinary, the somatic. Virgo is the medicine carrier. Be the medicine.The Moon trines Mars (now back in bounds) — water to water, Cancer and Pisces. The guardian and the depths. The eclipse is very emotional. Let it be. Surrender. The Hanged Goddess is upright this week precisely because we need her permission to pause.The Moon also trines Asteroid Lilith — talk to the hand. We are not going back to the old way.Saturday, August 29 — Quiet Close. Moon Into Aries.The Moon in Pisces closes the week quietly — meeting Nessus (the poisons, the inherited patterns, a last look at what we're releasing in this eclipse), then sextiling Juno (contracts, the renegotiating continues).And then, at 10:37pm Eastern, the Moon enters Aries — and we end the week with the Moon about to move through that entire retrograde cluster: Neptune, Manwë, Saturn, Pallas Athena, Eris, and Vesta, all revisiting, reflecting, reviewing, in the sign of new beginnings.As the week closes: Venus, the Sun, and Mercury are the only major planetary bodies on the Virgo side of Regulus and the South Node. All the rest are still coming. It will take a while. This is a turning of a great wheel, not the flipping of a switch.But the three most personal planets are leading the way. Be more meaningful. Be more curious. Be more humble. Be the medicine.The Cards in DetailThe Hanged Goddess — I Am Paused (upright this time):In the Red Seeds Tarot by Linda Hill (find her on Etsy, UK), the Hanged Goddess is Demeter — the Great Mother who, in the myth, became weary of both mortals and gods and withdrew to her newly built temple, closing the door to everyone. She knew that to invoke the powers of healing, she would need silence and isolation. And so she paused.“A change of perspective is much needed. The complexity of life can imbalance us at times, leaving us feeling lost, drained, exhausted. Confusion surrounds us, and we can't see the wood for the trees. Have we forgotten who we are? What has brought us to this point? Is it time to stop and pause? Old cycles, habits, poor self-care may have blocked our way. It's time to surrender to the self and allow the depths of our being to open gently. It is not necessary to hurry or try to direct what should happen next. There is really nothing for us to do but wait. Such a position helps us to see things in a very different light. New perspectives will arise. There is much to come from this.”Herman Hesse: “Within you there is a stillness and sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.”This is Demeter closing the temple door. This is the invitation: close the door. Just for a while. Let the silence in. Let the new perspective arise.Two of Bees (Swords), reversed — Inner Turmoil:This week there may be anxiety, inner turmoil, indecision. Everything feels tense inside. Reversed, this card asks for all the inner work — going within rather than pushing outward, balancing the nervous system, retreating, doing the self-care. The Hanged Goddess gave you the permission. Take it.This is strong energy. The eclipses are strong. You do not have to perform having it together right now.Queen of Seeds (Pentacles), reversed — Inner Pillars:In this deck there are two Queens of Seeds, and they both came out this week. They embrace the Divine Feminine — nurture, healing, generosity, intuition, stability, and service. Like the Caryatids — the sculpted figures from the Eleusinian Mysteries who literally held up the sanctuary — these queens hold things up.“We can be supportive and in service of those in need, whilst always remembering to nurture, support, and stabilize ourselves first. This feminine energy has agency: self-sufficient, strong, kind, empowered, and belonging to no gender. These queens held up the Eleusinian sanctuary for many years, on many levels. These queens hold us up. Know that we are supported and always cared for.”Reversed this week, I read these Queens as pointing you toward the inner pillars of support — the ones that don't require anyone else's permission or presence. And to remember Michael Lutin's words: future stewards of the Earth and planets, the goddesses. That doesn't mean only women. It means the goddess energy — the nurturing, supportive, reciprocal, holding energy — within all of us.The Companion (Witch Oracle):Your body. The cauldron. It has appeared before and it keeps appearing because the message keeps being needed.“Your body, like a cauldron, holds the energy of what you put into it. Are you putting shame, diminishment, or rejection into it? Or acceptance, appreciation, adoration?Science would have you believe your body is an experiment. Religion would have you believe your body is a sin. A witch would have you believe your body is a marvel — a cauldron of celebration, home to spells of delight, healing, and wonder.Your body is a sacred companion. She is the one entity that will never leave you during your journey as a human. She is always working on your behalf to restore, heal, and create the balance that allows you to participate in this life. This kind of loyalty deserves devotion, not diminishment.Shed the weight of expectations. Trim down the thoughts of too much and not enough. Dance like your hips move mountains. Put some magic of unabashed self-approval in your cauldron, and witness how the steam of that self-esteem wafts out into the world — passing on permission for others to feel the same about their unique shape.A witch understands that liking and loving herself, her body, just as it is, in a toxic patriarchy, is an act of rebellion.Be the rebel.”And here is what I want to add: your body is also the cradle. It is the basket. It is the cauldron that is being held in the larger cauldron of these four great outer planets at 4°. You are held. Your body is held. The transformation is happening inside it, and through it, and because of it.Summing UpMercury crosses the South Node and meets Regulus. Vesta stations retrograde, joining the entire Aries cluster in reflection. The Mercury Cazimi at the basket degree of 4° Virgo brings through what needs to be carried toward the Venus and Mercury retrogrades. Mars comes back in bounds on eclipse day. The lunar eclipse arrives at 4° Pisces — held, stable, held.And four cards all pointing inward: pause. The turmoil is real, and it belongs inside where you can work with it. The inner pillars of support are there. Your body is the cauldron, the companion, the sacred rebel.Three planets have now crossed Regulus in Virgo. Kings in rags. Future stewards of the Earth and planets. The goddesses.We are in the birth canal, and we are pushing.Go close the temple door for a while.

  As we transition  from summer to fall, you are invited into the depths. In this episode we lean into the teachings of powerful Goddesses. They remind us that in the descent, lies the opportunity for profound growth and discovery. So, I ask you: what will you do with the wisdom you have gained?    Episode Highlights     1:37: Demeter and the Harvest Mindset  Demeter is the goddess of harvest, persistence, and fierce creation. She guides us to focus on planting intentional seeds, honoring our work, and recognizing the value of what has already been grown.    4:33: Persephone and the Call to Transformation  Persephone's story becomes a metaphor for the moment innocence gives way to initiation. The descent into the underworld is framed as a turning point that creates growth, identity change, and deeper purpose.    7:10: What Descent Can Look Like in Real Life  The mythic journey to everyday experiences like business shifts, relationship changes, grief, menopause, divorce, and identity loss. We need to normalize the discomfort of not knowing what comes next.    9:28: The Space Between Breakdown and Becoming  Instead of forcing a quick solution, stay with the darkness long enough to learn from it. The descent is a sacred pause that asks what needs to die, what truth has been avoided, and what wants to return.    11:52: Hecate and the Wisdom of the Dark  Hecate enters as the guide through hidden inner layers and the keeper of wisdom; the real wisdom that comes from lived experience, healing, caregiving, and the stories we carry.    14:49: Stop Hiding Your Magic  Stop softening your truth or shrinking personal power. Bring all parts of the self into the world, even the parts that feel too wild or too much.    16:04: The Woman Waiting Beneath the Roles  The descent is a process of finding the self beneath expectations, masks, and old conditioning. This is a conversation about transition, reflection, and the deeper inner work that comes with change.    If you feel called to explore these themes further, I invite you to join me for a retreat this October, where we will dive deep into this work together.     Schedule a complimentary call with Julie to see if this retreat is right for you. https://juliefouchtcoaching.as.me/exploration    May the Goddesses bless you with their strength!   Mentioned  Love-Based Feminine Marketing (Book)    Connect with Julie Foucht     Website: https://juliefoucht.com/   Quiz: https://bit.ly/witchpreneur-quiz  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artoffemininebusiness/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JulieFouchtCoaching/   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FeminineMarketingMagic/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JulieFoucht   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachjulz/  Podcast: The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht at https://juliefoucht.com/podcast/

COLD OPEN QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Why is Conrad Thompson right about Roman Reigns being the most overrated main eventer ever? David and Kaz kick off the show by discussing last night's Grand Slam Mexico (06:34), including “Protostar” Kyle Fletcher's win over “Speedball” Mike Bailey (07:54), Willow Nightingale and the Brawling Birds' win over Mercedes Moné and Divine Dominion (14:16), and the Death Riders' win over Cope, Christian Cage, and the Young Bucks (16:09).

One last time this week Chris and Jeremy are back talking about what started as a stellar episode of AEW Dynamite. But, um, what went wrong? Who booked Kris Statlander and Persephone so badly? Why is the top conmtenmder for the AEW title in a street fight with a jobber? How damaging was that Grayson […] The post Stunt Granny Audio 1182- AEW Dynamite, NXT Woes, Kris Statlander, Kendal Grey, Kyle Fletcher, Grayson Waller appeared first on Stunt Granny.

Folks, AEW went to Mexico City for Grand Slam, and I have to be honest with you — very honest, like I always am — because that's what you deserve. This show was a total mixed bag, and in some places, a total disaster.We opened with Cage & Cope and the Young Bucks against the Death Riders — Moxley, Yuta, PAC, Garcia, with Marina Shafir lurking around. Eight talented people in that ring, and how does it end? A rollup with a handful of tights. That's it. Holy cow, that was bad, folks. One of the worst finishes I've seen for a match with that much star power.The Casino Gauntlet qualifier — Ciampa, Andrade, Komander — was just a bunch of moves, total yawn. Andrade won and grabbed the mic to promise Mexico the World Title. And THEN — MJF's music hit, and he snuck in from the crowd, folks! He took back his Diamond Ring, punched Andrade with it, threw him to the floor, called him trash, called Mexico a "piece of sh*t country," and demanded they cheer him as an American Hero. He buried Kenny Omega's "toy belt," said All In's main event is HIS, and announced he's entering next week's qualifier in Vegas to take his title back. Tremendous promo — honestly the best thing all night.Willow Nightingale & the Brawling Birds beat Mercedes Moné & Divine Dominion with a nice backslide — fun match. Kyle Fletcher retained the International Title against Speedball Mike Bailey with a beautiful top turnbuckle brainbuster — good stuff, actual wrestling. Místico, Jericho & Darby Allin beat the Don Callis Family with a Coffin Drop — lame, just a bunch of moves.Persephone beat Kris Statlander in total chaos — Thunder Rosa's belt got stolen, the ref got knocked out, Hikaru Shida ran in to help Persephone, and a frog splash sealed it. Wild finish, fine match. Then Hangman Page and Brodido became your NEW AEW World Trios Champions, beating The Demand with a buckshot-lariat-assisted Plex. Good stuff!The main event Street Fight, Ospreay vs. Mark Davis, had barbed wire, blood, a Styles Clash, and a Hidden Blade finish — but folks, this company has completely NUMBED me to hardcore matches. Total yawn at this point.LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and tell me — was MJF the only thing worth watching tonight?Visit our website ➡️➡️➡️ https://www.majesticproduction.com/Watch our full podcast here ➡️➡️➡️ anchor.fm/majestic-production

What if you've been surviving your life instead of actually living it, and you didn't even know it? ✨ Enrollment for the Ziva Experience is officially open. Meditation to dissolve stress at the root, embodied manifesting to turn emotion into fuel, and a community built to hold you through all of it. Join us now → experience.zivameditation.com In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with Tammy Lewis, a business owner, mother of two, and now a Ziva Guide, to trace what changed between the version of her quietly holding everything together and the version of her now manifesting a cross-country move, a new school, and an entirely different marriage, with speed and ease. Before Ziva, nothing was broken, but everything was heavy: she was managing everyone else's emotions while hers sat at the bottom of the list. "It was getting by," she says. "I was surviving my life instead of actually living it." She found Ziva in 2021, and between being consistent with her daily Ziva Meditation practice, two pilgrimages, and years of practicing Ziva Magic's embodied manifesting formula, she learned to tell a thought that's “of her” from guidance that moves “through her.” Now her emotional lows resolve in minutes instead of days, manifestations show up almost daily, and she sums up her reality in one line: "Honestly, everything feels like magic." In this episode, they explore: The “before” picture: a good, full, busy life that was still a constant clench in the body — holding, managing, getting by The internal tool of asking what's “of me” versus what's “through me” during meditation, and how it sharpened her guidance How clearing childhood-level stuff she didn't know needed clearing kept expanding her capacity to receive Manifesting a cross-country move, a new school, and a mountain home in the same ten days she got clear on what her family truly wanted Her first, reluctant encounter with emotional alchemy at a Costa Rica retreat, and why part of her still resists it today Growing up Catholic and the jolt of first hearing “use your pleasure to pray” Why the Ziva circles, not just the meditation, became the real differentiator — and her new role guiding them Key Moments: 00:00 – Meet Tammy Lewis: the before and after 03:21 – “It's literally all magic”: journaling on Persephone before the call 06:53 – Her most recent evidence of magic: leaving expat life in Panama 09:06 – Turning guidance into action, Michael Jackson-style 10:51 – The tool: what's “of me” and what's “through me” 12:11 – The before picture: who was Tammy pre-Ziva 13:43 – The weight of life as a constant clench in the body 15:19 – Clearing invisible cages she didn't know were there 17:47 – Life now: shorter lows, funnier meetings 20:59 – Her son's word of the year: friendship 23:15 – Describing the meditation: the first practice she's ever craved 25:31 – Embodied manifesting: it's the feeling, not the thing 28:26 – The speed of manifesting and collapsing timelines 31:39 – Her first emotional alchemy experience, reluctantly, in Costa Rica 34:39 – The myth of Persephone and the underworld 38:03 – Pleasure as prayer, and her Catholic upbringing 43:03 – Leading the Ziva circles: community as the real differentiator ✨ The Ziva Experience is open for enrollment.

This episode starts with a comment from a viewer: 35 years old, a long-term abusive relationship behind her, grief she can't move, a sense that the years aged her faster than they should have. Silvana takes that question seriously and goes somewhere most spiritual teachers won't.The answer runs through Black Tantra, specifically through Dhumavati, the widow goddess of the Mahavidyas. She is the goddess who ate Shiva. She has no wheels. She sits in desolation and asks you to stop pretending there's a way to make this okay. If you've been told to forgive and vibrate higher and your body still feels like a site of something that happened to it, this episode is worth your time.Silvana walks through a two-phase process. Phase one is full permission to feel what's there: grief, rage, hatred, all of it, through the body, with support, without spiritually bypassing any of it. Phase two is the reclamation: aura sealing, a cleansing season, boundaries that are actually non-negotiable, the gradual return to your body as a compass rather than a threat, and reconnecting with the Shakti that abuse systematically cuts you off from. She references Dion Fortune's "Psychic Self-Defense" on energetic protection, pulls in the myths of Inanna and Persephone as maps for descent and return, and covers the eighth house in astrology as the domain of trauma, depth psychology, and real power.If this episode surfaces something you've been sitting with for a long time, and you're ready to build the spiritual structure that lets you move from there: https://silvanaisaza.com/mentorship/

Ovid explores the feminine psychology of love. Loss of the mother in the tale of Demeter and Persephone. Female narcissism. Women alone: Artemis, Diana, the Amazons. Incestuous love: Myrrha seducing her father.

With her debut poetry collection, OFFERINGS FOR ORDINARY GODS (Clash Books), Ali Trotta brings myth, magick, tarot, and ritual to bear on the eternal & primal struggle of women. We talk about those roots and how tarot and ancient myth inspired her work, where tarot began for her — '90s, The Craft — and how past guest Katelan Foisy resparked her interest and showed her new depths in the cards, and her focus on revising ancient myths to retell the stories of wronged women like Persephone, Medusa, and Dido. We get into how she feels at seeing her work collected and how to look at her development as a poet without cringing at her younger selves, how everything is fair game and poetry can serve as exorcism, and how confession can be deeply coded in a poem. We also discuss the teacher who gave her the tools to read poetry deeply, her Very Online-ness and how she's built relationships and writer communities online (and how it's good to be part of the Group-Chat), her online #tinypoem flurries and how rockstar she felt when someone got a tattoo of one on their arm, the project(s) she'd love to write, and more. PLUS: She reads a few of her poems and gives me my second tarot reading of the summer!

What if the oldest roots of human spirituality are inherently more Feminine than we've been taught to imagine?In this rich and expansive conversation, I sit down with writer, poet and scholar of ancient religion Gabriela Gutierrez to journey into the deep past—to the Palaeolithic caves, the earliest expressions of religious experience, the role of women within prehistoric ritual life, and the forgotten relationship between humanity, the Earth and the sacred. Together we explore what archaeology, mythology and living traditions might reveal about our oldest spiritual inheritance, and what remembering it could mean for us today. About GabrielaGabriela Gutierrez is a Spanish–Welsh writer, poet, and scholar of ancient religion. She works at the intersection of myth, ritual, and ecology to recover the animistic worldviews that preceded institutional religion. She speaks several languages and has worked internationally in human-rights advocacy, field research, and traditional ritual lineages. Drawing on both archaeological fieldwork and study within living traditions, she bridges scholarship and direct experience to explore how myth and spirituality can return to modern life as embodied sources of meaning. Her first non-fiction book is forthcoming with Shambhala Publications, and her poetry has appeared in Clarion Poetry Magazine.In this episode we explore:The possibility that Women were among humanity's earliest ritual specialists, and the female and feminine roots of prehistoric spirituality.Why paradox lies at the heart of authentic spiritual experience—an and/and rather than an either/or.The Imaginal as a genuine way of knowing and a valid research methodology.The earliest archaeological evidence of religious experience within Palaeolithic cave art, dating back 40,000–60,000 years.How non-human symbolism within cave imagery reveals the animistic worldview of our ancestors.The famous storming bison cave paintings, and what they reveal about prehistoric ritual life.The common threads of what Gabriela calls the Old Religion, and what "religion" meant before institutional faiths emerged.The four archetypal mythic stories that recur throughout prehistoric Europe, and why female initiation sits at the heart of each.The forgotten feminine face of the sacred, and why reconnecting with our deep history matters today.The ritual of dismemberment, communal grief, and our ancestors' relationship with the cycles of death, renewal and the Earth.Moving beyond rigid masculine and feminine polarity through Gabriela's beautiful invitation to consider both Mother Earth and Father Earth.The myth of Descent as a menstrual story, including links to Persephone, Minoan culture and ancient menstrual initiation.Why all women carry an initiating capacity through the womb, though not every woman would necessarily have been a ritual specialist.The modern tendency to anthropomorphise gods and goddesses, and what is lost when we forget the animate forces beneath their names.Who the Melissae really were, and Gabriela's fascinating research into the Bee Priestesses of Ancient Greece.Why bees—one of the oldest sacred feminine symbols—escaped the renunciation suffered by so many other creatures sacred to the feminine.Episode ResourcesCave paintings of Altamira What the Bee Knows - PC TraversThe Flowering Wand - Sophie Strand Minoan Fresco Art of ‘Xeste 3' AkrotiriConnect with GabrielaInstagram: @honeyedwaysSubstack: Under A Fig Tree Website: www.gabrielamairgutierrez.comConnect with RachelInstagram: @therachelhodgensWebsite: https://rachelhodgens.com.auRemember to rate & review the podcast - and share this episode with a friend who would enjoy it!

Host Cyndera Quackenbush welcomes author and tarot scholar Mariana Louis for a profound exploration of tarot, Jungian psychology, archetypes, synchronicity, and the lifelong journey of self-discovery. Centered around Mariana's book, Tarot and the Psychology of the Soul: Exploring the Archetypal Mirrors of the Psyche, the conversation dives into the ways tarot can function not simply as divination but as a mirror to encounter the deepest layers of the self. Mariana shares her unexpected path from aspiring musical theater performer to scholar of Western intellectual traditions after discovering Carl Jung's The Undiscovered Self in her grandfather's attic. Soon after, a transformative tarot reading revealed to her the uncanny overlap between Jungian archetypes and the symbolic language of tarot, setting her on a years-long quest to understand how these systems intersect and how they can be used as tools for personal transformation. Together, Cyndera and Mariana explore some of the most fascinating ideas in Jungian thought, including individuation, synchronicity, the collective unconscious, projection, the shadow, anima and animus, and the mysterious “psychoid” realm where psyche and matter appear to meaningfully intertwine. Rather than treating tarot as a rigid fortune-telling device, Mariana presents it as an invitation into dialogue with the unconscious. Warm, thoughtful, and deeply inspiring, this episode is a celebration of tarot as a tool for soul-making. Whether you are new to Jungian concepts or a longtime tarot practitioner seeking greater depth, this conversation bridges intellect and intuition, mystery and meaning, psychology and spirit. Mariana Louis is a contemporary tarot scholar, teacher, and author known for her work exploring the psycho-spiritual and Jungian dimensions of tarot. A former musical theater performer, she now teaches tarot through the lens of archetypes, depth psychology, and individuation, and serves as faculty at the Jung Archademy. Through her platform Persephone's Sister, her writing, and the podcast Soror Mystica, Mariana has guided countless students in tarot, shadow work, witchcraft, and the archetypal Feminine. Based in Queens, she lives with her husband, two cats, and an ever-growing collection of books.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm so honored to have back on the show for a second time: Satanic and Masonic Ritual Abuse, MK ULTRA, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and now whistleblower, creative writer, gardener, talented musician, singer and songwriter, dancer, content creator, and the brightest and bravest light in the darkness, DianaA little bit about Diana in case you missed her first testimony episode, if you're new here, or if you need a quick recap: Born and raised beneath the desert sky of Las Vegas, Diana entered a world where her family's names and networks formed a powerful, shadowed backdrop. She is the granddaughter of a 32nd-degree Freemason of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine - a Purple Heart-decorated Air Force veteran - and the niece of a nuclear health physicist who worked at the Nevada Test Site. Her great-great-grandmother immigrated from Sicily with ties to the mob and was an Italian woman of esoteric power who stood at the head of tables, bold and matriarchal. On both sides of her lineage flowed bloodlines connected to nobility, samurai, and the hidden architectures of influence. Yet it was within these very structures that the fracture began.Before she was born and continuing until she was thirteen, Diana endured systematic ritualized abuse designed to shatter memory, weaponize terror, and erase the sacred autonomy of a child. There were cages and costumes, staged violence and choreographed performances. Rituals unfolded in deserts and parks. Music - meant to be a language of the soul - was turned into a metronome of fear. Electric shocks rewrote what the mind could not bear to hold. Lodges and hidden rooms became classrooms of indoctrination. Adult faces of collusion watched. She once wrote these horrors as “fiction,” the only safe way a child could tell the truth her body already knew. Yet Diana is still here.What they tried to shatter, she gathered. What they tried to bury, she unearthed - piece by careful, courageous piece. She learned how trauma attempts to divide a life into locked rooms and how, with patient love for the self, those rooms can be opened, honored, and reintegrated. She came to understand that the most radical act after systematic dehumanization is to insist on one's full humanity - publicly, powerfully, and without apology.Today, Diana stands as a truth-teller and fierce advocate for every survivor emerging from hidden violence. She speaks for the child who was silenced and for every soul who still feels watched, doubted, or alone. She knows the architecture of coercion—how it recruits authority, hides in plain sight, and scripts stories for the powerless. She dismantles it by telling her own story first.Las Vegas taught her about illusion. Survival taught her about revelation. In a city famous for borrowed light, Diana carries her own. It does not blink. It does not sell. It is the steady flame of a life remade—one that warms, one that guides, and one that calls the lost back to themselves.Her music—once weaponized against her—has become her sword and her sanctuary. As a talented singer, songwriter, and performer, Diana now channels the very frequencies that once bound her into songs of freedom, healing, and defiant joy. Her creative writing, once a child's coded cry for help, now flows as a river of truth that others can follow. In her garden she tends living things that grow toward the sun, a quiet rebellion against every attempt to keep her in darkness.Diana meets people in the dark without pretending the dark is light—then walks with them until they can see the horizon for themselves. Because she carries her own light, the shadows in places like Las Vegas—and everywhere else—lose their power to hide. Diana is not just a survivor. She is living proof that the light within us is stronger than any darkness ever devised. And her song has only just begun.

In this episode, Britten closes her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Twelfth House. She explores the Twelfth House as a place where self-abandonment can happen when we refuse to take space for ourselves, shame the need to step away from ordinary time, or become enmeshed with someone else's way of coping with being here. The Emergence Astrology Pathway begins with a 9-month Hermitage so you can take some fucking space for yourself. The experience is one that will connect you to the longings and the wisdom of your 12th House Self.  Topics She Covers: The Twelfth House as the finale of this series, and as the house of Britten's Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Persephone in Pisces. Britten's relationship to promotion, voice, and the assignment she feels to get her teachings to those they are meant for. The question, "What are you looking for in astrology?" and why Emergence Astrology is more interested in expansive questions rather than fixed answers. The houses as spaces of self-healing, where we can recognize and begin clearing patterns of self-abandonment. The Twelfth House as self-undoing, solitude, retreats, hospitals, prisons, sleep, dreams, altered states, and the places that take us out of the day-to-day of life. Taking space for yourself as one of the most powerful ways to not self-abandon in the Twelfth House. The shame Twelfth House people can carry when their nature draws them away from behaviors that overculture applauds. Ritual devotion as a way to understand your Fourth, Eighth, and Twelfth Houses, and as a practice for receiving your own gnosis. Whether you have placements there or not, you have a 12th House, and you have not been encouraged by Overculture to go spend time there. You were told it's a waste of time, that it's unproductive, that it will un-do you. These lies stop now.     Through the lens of the Twelfth House, this episode explores what becomes possible when we make time outside of the schedule and let ritual become a doorway for receiving the information that wants to come through.   Join Britten Inside of the Emergence Astrology Pathway This is not a traditional astrology course. It's an experience you give yourself if you long to repair, recover, renew, and remember your power.

 JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for the latest Karmic Evolution's Astrologically Speaking podcast!CHANGE IN VALUES LEADS TO CHANGE IN PERSPECTIVESGiven that the Gemini New Moon occurred at 24'03 Gemini on June 14 at 7:54 p.m. PT & 10:54 p.m. ET, it brings with it the opportunity to plant seeds related to our ability to communicate with one another--& ourselves.And, in doing so, what we may have thought was of most value to us back before the May 16 Taurus New Moon monthly lunar cycle—including the Sagittarius Full Moon—may have changed.And that, in turn, has changed many peoples' perspectives, particularly about what is of most value in their lives. You know, like food security & affordability, & access to affordable healthcare.This podcast explores the astrological symbolism that's moved the collective away from material complacency & old perspectives that we'll always have enough to be “comfortable.”And that by the time we experienced the May 31 Sagittarius Full Moon—when the Sadge Moon opposed both the Gemini Sun, Uranus & Ceres—we were asked to release our attachment to a leader's perspective (Gemini Sun) & to change our perspective about what we value most in life.This came to head by the time we reached the June 8 third quarter lunar square of the Pisces Moon to the Gemini Sun, where “the people” felt victimized (represented by the Pisces Moon) by a leader who says he “doesn't care” about Americans' finances & “loves” inflation (Gemini Sun.)No surprise then, that as a result of the Venus/Jupiter conjunction in Cancer on June 9 after which billionaire Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire, people began to openly ask what they'd been thinking for a while: How much is too much?Especially when so many billionaires & Musk, the newly minted trillionaire, do little to improve peoples' lives but choose instead to use their wealth simply to increase their power.That this holds true not only in America but in places like Albania where Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner & daughter Ivanka “purchased” an island there they plan to develop into a multi-billion dollar resort for the rich.Tens of thousands have taken to the streets there to objection to the potential rape of this nation's environmentally protected coastal habitats. And the kicker? Albania's prime minister supports this development, which suggests perhaps he's got a stake in the game…VENUS IN LEO OPPOSITE PLUTO IN AQUARIUS: ARE THE RICH RAPING THE PEOPLE?All of the astrology of the past few months—in addition to the exposure of more & more corruption within the Trump Administration & his family's business dealings—bring us to question whether they are raping people not only of their tax dollars but of their legal rights. That's how we know that the Gemini New Moon monthly cycle is now asking us to change our perspectives about what it is we value most. In other words, do we value having rich business people run our government, or do we prefer those who have at heart the interests & well-being of those they serve.Greed & avarice go hand in hand with corruption & selling one's soul for money & material resources, making those who do so venal. And “venal” is defined by the Cambridge Dictionary as “A …person…willing to behave in a way that is not honest or moral in exchange for money.”Given this, the upcoming Venus/Pluto opposition on June 17—which highlights the power of money over relationships—has a mythical connotation of rape. That's because in Greek mythology Pluto/Hades, the god of the underworld, came above ground (which he only did twice in myth) & kidnapped & raped Persephone, the daughter of Demeter/Ceres, the goddess of the grain.In doing so, he changed the way the gods of Mount Olympus valued the humans they ruled over. How is that? Well, when Ceres—who held the secret of how the seed fertilizes the crops to grow--went into mourning over the disappearance of her daughter Persephone, humans began to starve.You see the connection between myth & reality? Only when mankind began to die out did the gods take notice. And the notice they took revolved around their own hubristic need to be revered by humans. You know, the ones who built temples & prayed to them, keeping them in positions of power.So a bargain was struck where Hades/Pluto—who did at least make Persephone not only his wife but the Queen of the Underworld—allowed her to come above ground for six months out of the year. This became the Greeks' way of explaining the seasons that occur in the western northern hemisphere: When Persephone come above ground to be with her mother it's spring & summer & crops are planted & grow. And when it's fall & winter, she goes back to her underworld throne & crops are reaped & stored for the winter, & the ground lie fallow.Remember that the Sagittarius Full Moon has the Gemini Moon in opposition to the Gemini Sun, Uranus, AND Ceres. Well, the indication was that our values needed to change our perspectives about what's most important to us all (read: food & bodily healthcare.)DONALD TRUMP'S SOLAR RETURN SHOWS LOSS OFF POWER IN PARTNERSHIPSThis podcast also takes a detailed look at Trump's Solar Return chart since he just had his 80th birthday on June 14—the same day of the Gemini New Moon.What's of most interest here is best described by the fact that the Virgo South Node lies conjoined to Trump's solar return chart's Virgo Ascendant, while the Pisces North Node hits at his solar return's Pisces Descendant.That means loss of power in partnerships is a key energy that began several months ago. That's because a solar return chart's energies can begin to manifest thematically about three months prior to the actual date of the return.)Not only that, but this chart's nodal axis is squared by the Gemini Sun, a sign of ego loss. Given current circumstances, including the most recent U.S.-waged war on Iran & its supposed 60-day ceasefire scheduled to be signed in Geneva on Friday, June 19, it's hard not to see that ending a war which had no solid strategy for success was foolhardy at best, insane at worst.Regardless, there's more, so be sure to listen to this week's podcast for additional telltale information from this chart for the following year!You can listen anytime here: https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingSee you then!

This Week Opens Your Highest Timeline — But Only If You Choose It. A rare convergence of fate, truth, and magic is unfolding. This week brings one of the most powerful astrology alignments of the year: Venus conjunct Jupiter, Hecate on the North Node, Uranus square the Nodes of Fate, and a Gemini New Moon that opens the door to an entirely new chapter. The question is: Will you choose the safe path… or your highest timeline? In this astrology forecast for June 8–14, Sabrina Lynn explores the profound crossroads energy moving through the collective.

June is changing the rules. Are you ready for the Return of Magic? After a relentless period of shedding, truth-bombing, and “rip-the-Band-Aid-off” energy, the first week of June brings a massive, fated frequency shift. We are moving out of the cocoon and into a three-point arc of initiation, grace, and new human embodiment. In this episode, Sabrina Lynn reveals the “Return to Magic” arc moving through June 1st–7th, showing you how to stop watching the “avalanche” of the old world and start attuning to the gold veins of abundance available right now. The 3-Point Arc of June 1st–7th: 1⃣ The Nervous System Exhale (Mon-Tue): As Mercury enters Cancer and the Sun sextiles Saturn, a sacred reprieve opens. This isn’t just rest; it's the “landing” required to access your deepest intuitive gold. 2⃣ The Return to Magic (Wed-Sat): The “Grace-Bombing Magicians” (Venus, Isis, Osiris, & Hygeia) are in a high-initiatory conjunction. We explore how to stop watching the “avalanche” of the old world and start attuning to the miracles hidden in the collapse. 3⃣ The Crossroads of Destiny (Sun): Hecate and Mary Magdalene meet on the Nodes of Fate while Uranus squares the destiny line. This is the “Chicken Wings” moment—the choice to stop crawling and finally start using your wings. What we dive into: • The Avalanche vs. The Gold Veins: Why where you place your life force this week determines your next 6 months. • High-Voltage Initiations: Why you might feel “crunchy” or “on the edge” right before a massive breakthrough. • The Mother of Magic: An invitation into the vast mystery school of the Goddess Isis. • Embodying the New Human: Moving from deconstruction to actual frequency embodiment. It's time to move from deconstruction to actual frequency embodiment. Are you ready to claim the magic?

Why Isn't Everyone Talking About Mitochondria? with Jennifer Scheinman Most people learned the word in 10th-grade biology and never thought about it again. That, argues registered dietitian and longevity expert Jennifer Scheinman, is exactly the problem. In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with Jennifer, a nutritionist with over 25 years of experience and a longevity expert at Timeline, the company behind the clinically studied Urolithin A supplement MitoPure, for a conversation that reframes everything from fatigue to aging to consciousness through the lens of your cells. Jennifer explains how the mitochondria work, why their decline accelerates in your 40s and 60s, and what you can actually do to slow that process. They cover the 12 biological hallmarks of aging, the cellular recycling system (mitophagy) that breaks down over time, why so many people can't produce Urolithin A on their own, and how to evaluate supplements in an industry the FDA doesn't fully regulate. They also connect it all to meditation, to stress, to perimenopause, and to the Greek myth of Persephone and the pomegranate. And at the very end: a fact about mitochondrial DNA that changes the way you think about your mother, your grandmother, and the feminine line you carry. In this episode, they explore: – What mitochondria are, what they do, and why they're more like a CEO than a powerhouse – The cellular recycling process (mitophagy) and why it slows with age – Zombie cells, inflammaging, and the 12 hallmarks of biological aging – Why aging isn't linear — and what the research says about the 40s and 60s – How meditation reduces the inflammation driving cellular decline – Urolithin A: what it is, how your gut should be making it, and why most people's isn't – How to read supplement labels and avoid "fairy dusting" and borrowed science – Timeline's clinical research: what the trials showed and how long results take – The topical MitoPure skincare line and UV-related skin aging – Why mitochondrial DNA is inherited exclusively through the maternal line – Persephone, pomegranates, 108 seeds, and the convergence of myth and molecule Key Moments: 00:00 — The question that opens the episode 03:00 — Mitochondria 101: what they really are 08:15 — Every cell except red blood cells runs on mitochondrial energy 10:00 — Mitophagy: your body's cellular cleanup crew 13:00 — Why aging accelerates in the 40s and again in the 60s 16:00 — Zombie cells and the inflammaging hallmark 19:00 — Meditation's effect on cellular inflammation — the Ziva link 25:00 — Fasting and perimenopause: what the science says for women 29:00 — How to evaluate supplements when labels aren't regulated 35:00 — Urolithin A: gut-made, often missing, and why it matters 40:00 — Why food alone won't get you there (6 cups of pomegranate juice a day) 44:00 — The clinical trials: muscle endurance at 2 months, strength at 4 months 53:00 — Urolithin A + exercise: a likely additive effect 58:00 — How Dr. Gabrielle Lyon first put this on Emily's radar 01:01:00 — The skincare line: bringing MitoPure topically 01:03:00 — Mitochondrial DNA and the matrilineal inheritance 01:05:00 — Persephone, pomegranates, and the place where science meets spirit About Jennifer Scheinman Jennifer Scheinman is a registered dietitian and nutritionist with over 25 years of experience.
