My friends, I am beyond thrilled to share this news with you! I am left terrible at keeping secrets so the fact that I have managed to keep my mouth shut on this is a freaking miracle! I have been working diligently and with deep intention behind the scenes to birth a new business into the world. I am so proud to introduce you to The Sacred Rebellion! She has been a long time coming. We have been on quite a journey together and so to see her finally made manifest is kind of incredible to me. In this episode where I share the story of her creation, how I intend to be of service through this new business, and the ways in which Equine Elevation is evolving now that's she has arrived. I genuinely hope you enjoy hearing how The Sacred Rebellion came to be and what she means to me and my work going forward. Thank you all so much for being here and witnessing this exciting new chapter!

Allow me to guide you in this very special Yoga Nidra, inspired by the energy of the Summer Solstice.  Yoga Nidra is a deep, guided, meditative practice that you experience lying down.

I also hope this particular Yoga Nidra will open your energy and let in the light.  I'm taking a little summer break with the podcast: I'll be back late August or early September.

How does new moon energy, inherently Yin, support the Summer Solstice energy (very much Yang)? And how do we move through a season of light and outward-focused energy with intention, connection and grounding?  In this episode, I invite the both of us to reflect on: 1. Taking chances, sowing intentional seeds and keeping your energetic channel open for creative downloads (without feeling overwhelmed). What does it mean to say 'yes' to life more often and bring yourself back to the present, spontaneous moment in this season?  2. Embodying flow & pleasure, and how we can feel safe and excited to prioritise having fun. 3. Prioritising sacred rest and a whole lot of Yin-vibes in a very Yang season - depending on what you need.  I'm taking a little summer break with the podcast - but not before I'll upload a Yoga Nidra special next week, so keep your eyes peeled.

Whenever I read back what I wrote in my journal, I'm always amazed at the growth and insight my own written words show. Not that what I write is particularly profound, but the lined pages are somewhat of a safe haven to me. And in this new recurring series, I'd like to take you with me into my heart, mind and journal to explore where I'm at currently and how I'm moving through my own inner process.  I talk about... 1. How my word of the year, 'devotion', continues to show me the way inward instead of outward. 2. What capacity, abundance and the dark moon phase have to do with devotion to myself and to life. 3. How my Saturn return is inspiring me to explore the concept of wholeness - and what it means to be a whole woman. Devotion is showing me how I can slow down, get still and focus on softness and going within. And it feels like a mini awakening / levelling up in frequency to notice how my capacity is growing to share happiness and pleasure from an abundant place!  Hang out with me this summer! 1.

Join Goodbye Good Girl - my brand new programme with lifetime access to weekly, monthly and seasonal inspiration & guidance!  Cart is open until June 2nd.  A big part of inner child work IMO is reflecting on where, how and when your inner wildness was conditioned into good-girl-energy. In this episode, I reflect on my own take on this and how we can potentially bring our consciousness to the next generation too. I talk about... 1. How fear, guilt and shame are external factors we internalise as the framework of our inner good girl. 2. How we can redefine 'good' and 'bad', perhaps especially when it comes to emotions and how we feel about ourselves. 3. Why community is a key part in breaking through blockages and connecting back to the inner wild. You're deeply invited to join us inside Goodbye Good Girl - my brand new programme in which we journey together on this healing and empowerment journey. This programme is set up so that you never again have to feel alone on your path - and you can journey at your own pace and in your own way through it all too. Join us for this enrolment and you get lifetime access to all the workshops, mentoring sessions, and community aspects inside.  ~ Or, if GGG doesn't feel right for you just yet, check out the free Sacred Rebellion roadmap to get you started on (or deepen) your journey of healing and empowerment.  ~ Let's hang out on Instagram (@thespiritualfem), send me an email with your thoughts (hello@thespiritualfeminist.com) and click around on the website for all the current offerings ~ The Spiritual Feminist is an online platform and a safe space for women who'd like to dive deeper into spirituality and female empowerment.

So much about this discovery journey is about growith, and with that, comes the discomfort of getting out of your comfort zone. So if you find yourself in a phase of growing pains, with your nervous system being activated and the ground underneath you quite shaky, this one's for you. I talk about... 1. The three main ways in which you can experience growing pains: when shadow work comes up but you don't feel ready, when you know you need to start setting boundaries and bring your new-found beliefs to the outside world, and navigating a vulnerability hangover and an activated nervous system. 2. How to hold yourself through these growing pains: with acceptance, a holistic and compassionate approach, consciously seeking joy whenever you can and leaning into the support of a community too.  3. My new programme Goodbye Good Girl and how I believe you should never have to navigate the hard parts of your spiritual journey alone! I hope this episode inspires you to be really kind and patient with yourself as you navigate these shaky grounds. Know that this is a big part of your journey and you're so brave to sit in the discomfort and taking it one step at the time. You got this sister, and you're truly never alone! x ~ Check out the free Sacred Rebellion roadmap to get you started on (or deepen) your journey of healing and empowerment.  ~ Let's hang out on Instagram (@thespiritualfem), send me an email with your thoughts (hello@thespiritualfeminist.com) and click around on the website for all the current offerings ~ The Spiritual Feminist is an online platform and a safe space for women who'd like to dive deeper into spirituality and female empowerment.

It speaks to the necessary intersection between feminism (and activism) and spirituality (and conscious living). Leaning into this archetype can help us break free from the chains of our inner Good Girl and bring us towards a more aligned and authentic way of living. In this episode, I explore the different ways in which we can reconnect with (and reclaim!) our inner Spiritual Feminist. I talk about…  1. What the Spiritual Feminist archetype means to me and what reclaiming the Witch, creating space for the Wild Woman, and calling in the Dark Feminine have to do with this. 2. Honouring that this reclamation gets to be an ongoing journey and how my inner Good Girl still crops up too. 3. How you can allow your inner Spiritual Feminist to support and inspire you on this journey just as it does for me! I hope this episode inspires you to uncover empowering energy within you, and makes you realise that your inner Spiritual Feminist has been there all along. It's simply about releasing the layers of conditioning that make you believe it's not! And remember: my programme Goodbye Good Girl can help you with this too!

This bonus episode is a gift from me to you, offering you deep support on radical acceptance, reclaiming what spirituality means to you, connecting to self care and inner needs, and knowing that you're already doing enough. The questions I cover:  1. How do I accept who I am, was, will be? 2 How can I accept I don't have to hide and be invisible all the time? 3. How do I connect to the elements? 4. How not to fall off the wagon with my spiritual journey. I tend to be irregular & stop for weeks and then I feel guilty for not meditating for 2 months.  If this mentoring special hit home for you, check out Goodbye Good Girl - my brand new group programme that combines audio mentoring, inspiring workshops, a virtual sisterhood and so much more.

In this episode, Kim Andryc, Lora Solomon, and Simran Singh discuss: Understanding and embracing the multidimensional pieces of ourselves. Embodying and expressing presence. The illusion of separation Consenting to experiencing every feeling and emotion. Key takeaways: The work of evolving can keep us from just being. We cannot receive divine grace before we will give ourselves human grace. True light is resting in the darkness. The world is full of distractions from just being. You have been lying to yourself, you have been avoiding yourself, you've been distracting yourself, and that is why you are having the experience that you're living. — Simran Singh

In this powerful podcast episode #207, I spotlight my awe inspiring client, Bonnie, as she comes full circle from being a listener of the show, to being an example of what's possible when you apply the tools in real time. As a mother of four, an entrepreneur, and a practitioner of yoga,  her busy lifestyle led her to seek out support to help her manage her relationship with alcohol.Bonnie shares that she first started drinking at the age of 14 as a way to numb the pain of big family transitions, grief and loss. Sound that alcohol was always present in her adult life, and that it often consumed more of her mind than she wanted it to.She shares that one of the biggest obstacles for her was asking for help, but that the disarming and supportive approach she gained from listening to the podcast, made her feel more open to trusting and letting go of her ego and pride. Bonnie offers how the container provided by the coaching program helped her to let go and move forward quickly in her journey. Bonnie shares:The practical side of making the program work for her.Tools for a life time she cultivated to get alcohol out of her way.How she easily "drops in" to her self, rather than checking out to achieve lasting relaxation.How she got to the place where alcohol is something that she no longer wants.How she moved through her habitual barriers for support.Shifting her self concept around alcohol and what's she's truly capable of.Bonnie has been one of my greatest sources of inspiration for what is truly possible with the five shifts and just how deep it can take you. Thank you Bonnie for your presence, bravery and warn heart!Quitting drinking doesn't take more time, it takes new thinking. You are focused on the wrong perspective: trying to change so alcohol can stick around, rather than changing so alcohol doesn't matter.The faster you can get alcohol out of your MIND, the faster you can enjoy the beautiful life you have and the next goals you want to reach.

About Neil Hoover: Creative Conscious Agent, Entrepreneur, & Co-Host of The Creative Businessmen podcast on YouTube. Comedian & actor.   In this episode, Kim Andryc, Lora Solomon, and Neil Hoover discuss: The race of data collection and its uses.  AI sentience and the evolution of consciousness.  Getting better at solving the problems of humanity.  The perception of self and understanding information.  Dividing power to decrease corruption.    Key Takeaways: Consciousness is the ability to redirect and control your body.  Ideas are not individual, they are collective. Artists have honed in their expression of those ideas to be able to be understood and resonate with others.  People use drugs to relieve suffering in the short term, but it creates longer problems in the long term.  It isn't about what information is available, it is about what information you are ready and willing to believe.  People should question things more than they should. Some things that are legal can harm people and some things that can help are illegal.  "I think AI, is just intelligence, it's not really artificial. I think it just is. It's just a different type of intelligence, machine intelligence, maybe, but I think it's just a projection of ourselves. It's an expression of humanity." — Neil Hoover  Connect with Neil Hoover: Website: https://www.neilhoover.com/  YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/TheCreativeBusinessmen  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neilhoover_official/   Connect with Sacred Rebellion:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LoraAndKim  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sacredrebellionpodcast/ Email Lora:  connect@lorasolomon.com Email Kim: kim@kimandryc.com Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

About Anna Golden Ray: Anna Golden Ray is a healer who's leading the way for people to remember the power & potential they hold in their body. She helps spiritual leaders use their body as their greatest spiritual asset so they can bring forth their vision with alignment & ease.   In this episode, Kim Andryc, Lora Solomon, and Anna Golden Ray discuss: The pandemic of disconnection. The return to the inner knowing.  The relationship between confusion and connection.  Sacred rage (and hot flashes) that exist inside all women.  Allowing our processing to be messy.    Key takeaways: We experience life through the body. If everything in the universe is made perfectly, there must be some powerful reason why we chose to have a body. Our body is our greatest asset as an energy processing tool.  Sometimes we need to hit our breaking point so that we can experience a breakthrough.  Everything that is on the outside reflects what is on the inside.  "When enough women have had enough, it's a force way more powerful than anything else on the planet. Where we're just taking a new stand for ourselves, where we're raising the bar,where we're not playing those games anymore.

His latest book, "Know Your Soul: Bring Joy to Your Life" was published in 2019 and co-authored with Diana Muenz Chen.    In this episode, Kim Andryc, Lora Solomon, and David Schwerin discuss: What the soul is and how to connect to it. Examining our fears and beliefs. Control, responsibility, and creation.  The unique role of each individual.    Key Takeaways: We are both energy and consciousness, and that is all there is.  What you do for another you do for yourself and what you fail to do for another you fail to do for yourself.  While we operate in a body, we are much more than just that physical form.  It all starts with us, individually, working internally on our beliefs, learning what's true, and changing what is not accurate.  "If you know that you are loved, eternal, and safe you will act differently than if you are just thinking in terms of a temporal body that is going to disappear sometime and you'll disappear with it." — David Schwerin  Connect with David Schwerin: Website: http://www.consciousthinking.com/  Email: daschwerin@yahoo.com  Book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0976518910/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidschwerin/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidschwerin    Take the Consciousness Questionnaire at: www.consciousthinking.com Connect with Sacred Rebellion:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LoraAndKim  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sacredrebellionpodcast/ Email Lora:  connect@lorasolomon.com Email Kim: kim@kimandryc.com Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

About ZofiaRennea Morales: Award winning global strategist and former biophysicist, ZofiaRennea Morales, had it all- a hi powered career, loving husband, gorgeous properties, adventure, good friends, you name it. She was living the dream until her fast-paced life screeched to a halt and left her in pieces. Brought to the edge of death by undiagnosed chronic Lyme Disease, and left bankrupt in every area of her life.  Desperate for a miracle, Zofia cried her most heartfelt prayer "I will do anything to get better".  This single prayer triggered an unanticipated kundalini awakening; a spiritual activation which unlocked Zofia's gifts as an intuitive, healer, and mystic changing her life completely. ZofiaRennea Morales is now the Host of talk radio program Sovereign Self (Mondays at 4pm Pacific time Sovereignself.live) and the creator of the Conscious Enlyghtment Process, a transformation alchemist and teacher guiding clients to find the gold within their most painful life transitions, helping people from all backgrounds notice how life wraps the best gifts in the shittiest wrapping paper. Zofia's scientific and corporate background appeals to clients who appreciate the way she integrates a pragmatic woo and real life into her work. Seasoned with love and laughter, Zofia guides her clients through their own spiritual crises and onto their paths of passion and purpose with warmth, joy, tenderness and play. In this episode, Kim Andryc, Lora Solomon, and ZofiaRennea Morales discuss: Zofia's awakening and healing after prolonged chronic disease.  The fight that many of those with chronic illness have with insurance companies.  Why illness and injury can lead to an individual's “pinch point” which can be the beginning of their transformation..  Choosing how to respond to challenges and the consequences.   Key Takeaways: When it's time to wake up, you will wake up. Trust your journey. As you remove resistance within yourself, miracles happen in your life.  You are the expert on your body and your being. You are the authority on you.  There is always more than one solution, depending on how open and curious you are to experience something different.    "At any point in a process, I can make a different choice. It's all in your response ability. Just because you've made one choice, perhaps to identify with illness, does not preclude you from changing that choice down the road.

In this episode, Kim Andryc and Lora Solomon discuss: Why so many people are talking about this being the “end of times” The possible deeper meaning behind ascension or the rapture.  Finding heaven in the present Creating building plans on earth, not escape plans to somewhere else   Key Takeaways: Being ready has nothing to do with your external appearance, but rather with where your heart and consciousness reside.  The main goal is to love.  The kingdom of heaven is within, not a geographical location or a faraway place.  The narrow space for growth is found between our divinity and our ego. Balancing between the two. "Every moment we have a choice, and the more moments where I am seeking some sort of connection to the divine in myself, other people and nature, I ascend." — Kim AndrycConnect with Sacred Rebellion:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LoraAndKim  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sacredrebellionpodcast/ Email Lora:  connect@lorasolomon.com Email Kim: kim@kimandryc.com Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Kim Andryc and Lora Solomon discuss: Death meditations Bringing death to your consciousness to live a more full life Choosing to face the truth of our mortality The paradox of uncertainty   Key Takeaways: Those who contemplate death regularly have fuller, richer, and more accomplished lives. It is not about doing something different, but rather about being different in the doing.  Your perspective will change as you age. Relationships tend to become more important as your perspective changes.  Lean into the present moment and learn to embrace uncertainty.  "Recognizing the preciousness of this moment and this day offers such gifts for having a full and satisfying life." — Kim Andryc  Connect with Sacred Rebellion:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LoraAndKim  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sacredrebellionpodcast/ Email Lora:  connect@lorasolomon.com Email Kim: kim@kimandryc.com   Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

About Angelika  Angelika is a biologist and birth keeper from Austria. When she went to the US as an exchange student at 16, her mom asked her if she wanted to be put on the pill for birth control, but Angelika already knew that she didn't want these pharmaceuticals in her body. A few years later she read a book about natural birth control and discovered that knowing about our cycle and owning our fertility - ie not depending on anything or anybody - is a foundation for the whole life as a woman. This is especially relevant now as women are open to a new way of feeling empowered in their bodies and fertility that is free from politics.  She later became a doula, deeply believing that birth is such an empowering experience to prepare the woman for motherhood.  Besides her passion for female fertility, she lives a very non-standard life, aiming to (step by baby step) not have to rely on systems she doesn't resonate with (money, technology, education and health care...)   In this episode, Kim Andryc, Lora Solomon, and Angelika discuss: How Angelika has been grounded from a young age to live a life without pharmaceuticals What it means to be a birth keeper Changing our view of the due date during pregnancy Purpose in exchanging value (even if it is not monetary value)   Key Takeaways: We are perfect beings learning to live in this three-dimensional world in harmony with nature.  There can be a power struggle between mainstream and alternative options for giving birth, but there is a way we can see eye to eye and have the experience we long for.  We are not broken. There is natural intelligence in our bodies and cycles.    "Perhaps owning our cycle as women is one step towards something new and wonderful." — Angelika  Connect with Angelika:  Website: https://thefemalecycle.love Telegram: https://t.me/TheFemaleCycle Offerings: Available for private consultation on owning the powerful knowledge in your body.

In this episode, Leneth guides me through her journey to become the spiritual feminist and lead a sacred rebellion. She unpacks why these two ideas - spirituality and feminism - are so often misunderstood. I sort Leneth out to be interviewed on the podcast because I love the title of her podcast and all she stands for. Leneth is a no nonsense Dutch woman on a mission and this conversation is so rich. Biography Leneth is the founder of The Spiritual Feminist, a platform and podcast for women who feel the call to live an empowered and more spiritually-minded life. As an intuitive mentor, energy healer and yoga teacher, Leneth guides women back to their own innate wisdom and inspires them to ignite their inner fire. Her popular podcast features conversations with Becca Piastrelli, Cassandra Wilder and Sarah Robinson, among others, and covers a wide range of topics within holistic healing, cyclical living and embodied empowerment. Leneth's main mission in life is to show women that everything they need, they already carry within them. Now is the time to journey home to that inner magic! In this episode we discuss: the internalised beliefs of womanhood keep us small how the good girl is making us unworthy understanding intersectional feminism the responsibility of spiritual white women Episode Resources Social: Instagram | Facebook Website: https://thespiritualfeminist.com

In this episode, Kim Andryc and Lora Solomon discuss: Opening your mind to both sides of the issue pro life/pro-choice Honoring that life allows us to choose The sacred gift of life The responsibility of body sovereignty    Key Takeaways: In any divisive issue, it's important to be calm, and get to know and understand each side's points, then form your own opinion. Don't fall into the trap of forcing others to make the choices you think they should be making..  The very essence of life is choice - being pro life is being pro choice because all humans on the planet have choice. We get into trouble when we try to ‌tell other people what choices they should be making.  Sex is a sacred gift with life giving consequences. Engaging in it casually, disrespectfully, or thoughtlessly takes away from its full expression. However, that doesn't mean that people's choice should be taken away from them about how they treat their bodies. Everyone has the right to learn from their own choices. Your body belongs to you. Hopefully, you'll choose to treat it in a sacred way and give yourself the respect and dignity that you deserve.  "Maybe somehow we can come back to a middle where we have freedom to choose but we choose to treat ourselves in a sacred way…  — Lora Solomon  Connect with Sacred Rebellion:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LoraAndKim  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sacredrebellionpodcast/ Email Lora:  connect@lorasolomon.com Email Kim: kim@kimandryc.com Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

My guest on the podcast, Lorea Sample, is going to take us on a journey to Self-Love and Personal Development to help women embody a life they love one sacred choice at a time. After Lorea's engagement ended in 2012, she was forced down a path of self-exploration and learned some hard truths about herself. As an engineer, she knew she could be very analytical and fact-based in her thinking.  While this mindset is a huge asset in her career, it has to be carefully managed, she learned, in her relationships with others and herself. She began minding her intuition more and deconstructing her core beliefs. In turn, she was led to a place of accountability, learning, and unlearning unworthiness. She started sharing her journey to “Sacred Rebellion” and published her first book, Unlearning Unworthiness: Your Journey to Self-Love & Personal Development in 2017. Between writing the book and sharing her experiences on stage, she recognized her life's calling to help women embody a life they love one sacred choice at a time.

Lora Solomon is a family nurse practitioner, mother, teacher, visionary, author, retreat facilitator speaker, ordained minister, and podcaster. With over three decades of experience as a healthcare professional and wisdom teacher, she shines a light on the role of survival programming on our health and our relationship with our divinity.     In this episode, Kim Andryc and Lora Solomon discuss:   Lora's newly published book Wounds to Wisdom The power of owning your entire story (even the dark parts) The healing power of bringing forth what is within  How our biography (story) becomes our biology (body)   Key Takeaways: Own your story, even the painful parts. “Your baggage is your power that is yet to be unpacked.”  If you bring forth what is within you, it will heal you.  If you don't bring forth what is within you, it will destroy you.  Beliefs and programming which were installed when you were young and dependent were a matter of survival. When you start to challenge those beliefs, it will feel like you're going to die but challenging them is necessary so that you can heal and bring forth your unique gifts. We can't let what we do define who we are. We are human beings, not human doings.   "You have to own your story to own your power. It takes power to heal.

You outsource your power. Your decision making. Your self-worth. You make choices that are rooted in achieving approval, acceptance and praise from others. And of course you do. We're taught at an early age to learn what is safe and unsafe by bouncing our choices off of other people—which is purposeful and protective. But, at some point, you need to come back home to yourself—to your inner knowing and learn how to make wise, intuitive decisions that are most expansive for YOU—separate from the expectations of others. In this episode, I'm sharing insights into how we become so disconnected from ourselves and give an invitation to start living a more free and expansive life. You are worthy of a life that feels expansive, fulfilling and pleasurable. And you are deserving of the autonomy to live a life in most alignment with your soul's desires.

Today's amazing conversation is all about stepping into your most authentic self and how embodying the energy of the sacred rebel is one of the truest forms of self-love that we can access. Hannah McKenna is based in Seacoast, New Hampshire, and it is from here that she helps her clients access the radical self-love that we all deserve and need. She is a wife, sister, and sacred rebel, and her life's mission is to help women reclaim their power! In our chat with Hannah, we get to hear a little about the winding journey she has been on, and the search that brought her to her current work. Hannah spent years delving into different forms of spirituality but it was not until she started to look inwards, and listened to the quiet wisdom she found within, that she truly came into her power. For Hannah, this meant forgoing the quest to fit into other people's versions of spirituality, and the embodiment of her spiritual rebellion brought untold freedom and unshakeable joy to her life! So to hear about how you can access the love, magic, and freedom that is available to us all, tune in today! Key Points From This Episode: Hannah's depiction of the sacred rebel and her lifelong connection to the term. The different boxes we place ourselves in; getting away from external dogmas that do not serve us. Finding community while standing in your truth and individuality. The layers of our identity and going beyond our profession and career. Common missteps that Hannah has observed around manifestation and the supposed rules. Answering the shadow voice of our doubts with the energy of the sacred rebel. The audacity to own who you are and release the shackles that hold us back. Creating sacred rituals; finding the balance between individual authenticity and empowerment. Differentiating between types of resistance we might experience and when to push through discomfort. The simplicity of sacred rituals and maintaining focus on the most important elements. Hannah's definition and understanding of miracles: the constant miracle of life, and its invitation. How and where to connect with Hannah online, and the coaching she currently offers! Tweetables: “In these spiritual circles, I often ended up feeling like I didn't quite fit in.” — Hannah McKenna [0:03:31] “I'm a sacred rebel, I am not meant to be in one thing. I am not meant to take someone else's teachings and put my life into it entirely.” — Hannah McKenna [0:04:15] “You can't commit yourself to the tool, rather than your spirit.” — Hannah McKenna [0:08:24] “I think the biggest rebellion that you can have is owning that you are worthy.” — Hannah McKenna [0:16:17] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Hannah McKenna Hannah McKenna on Instagram The Body Positivity Journal Lotus Collective Waitlist

In this conversation, Madison and Steph discuss what "rooted feminine" means, the importance of getting back into the body to reconnect with the feminine, and how to flow through and root into our personal life-death-life cycles. Steph speaks candidly on how she personally feels about being consumed through her memoirs and her own thoughts around moving from the maiden to mother archetypes.  Plus, Madison and Steph speak about her group program, which she facilitates without any pre-content and the importance of allowing flow in our healing and life journeys.

Today I'm taking over my own podcast - and breaking from the theme of season two - to talk about something super important: how we, as highly sensitive people, need more time in transitions. Our brains and nervous systems work differently than your average Joe, and these differences tend to show up with force in life transitions (the big and the small). Follow along as I walk you through the brain science of a highly sensitive person in transition so you can understand why you often feel so goddamned frustrated, rushed and overwhelmed. AND - of course - what you can do differently. Thanks to my Patrons for supporting this show! Want to pledge your support?

Slade Roberson is a professional intuitive, author, and host of the podcast Shift Your Spirits, where he does a great job speaking about spirituality with fewer hearts and flowers than most New Age blather. We sat down to talk about how he works as a clairaudient and claircognizant intuitive and mentor. Slade and I talk about how difficult it can be to narrow down your craft - and how critical it is to do so. "Do one thing really well," Slade says. "Like, if you could only make a grilled cheese sandwich, then make it really good!" We talk more deeply about how to figure out what work is yours to do and what is simply not your grilled cheese to make. Slade tells us about his professional mentorship program for emerging intuitives, called Automatic Intuition. He offers a free way to start the program for free, which you can find with the links below. Slade and I talk about how our different health crisis lead to finding our true calling in the world, and how mundane things like good nutrition, Crossfit and sleep keep this intuitive healthy.

So I work specifically with people who are highly sensitive to help them develop their intuitive channels and strengthen their sense of sensitivity so it's not overwhelming them, and that they're able to work with it. I see that, I mean, I really see sensitivity and being an empath as a really huge gift that we're not given any tools around, any sort of know-how around, so I kind of create a structure and a language to be able to work with those things. And I do that one-on-one, I do that in my membership group, and I do that in different courses and an intuitive school that I'm working on. Slade: Very cool. I want to come back a little bit and talk sort of about your manifesto, and the whole thing about sensitivity in particular how you kind of relate that to everything. That's something I want to dive in a little bit deeper on. One of the things I'm interested in - I've been asking a lot of people this, so I'm going to ask you - when you meet someone for the first time in real life and they ask you what you do, what do you say? Anna: Oh Jesus. You know, it really - it's funny, because I listened to the episode that you're referencing and I'm like, 'I'm taking notes', because this is something that I still struggle with, you know? It really depends. Sometimes I tell people I'm an intuitive. If I feel pretty comfortable with people I'll tell them I'm an intuitive. If it's somebody who is just totally out of this realm, I'll call it, sometimes I'll say that I have a healing arts practice. Sometimes I will say that I work with people who are highly sensitive to help them manage overwhelm. Those are usually the three places I will go, but I find it, I really find it a struggle. And for me, it's the sense of, how much do I - or it's kind of this battle between how much can I own about what I do and how much is actually going to get in and how much is safe in this situation? Slade: Yeah, well, and you know what? Also, some people ask that question very politely with the expectation that they're probably going to get a boring answer. Anna: Mmhmm! Slade: You know, like, 'I work as a clerk in a shipping department', or whatever. And sometimes people, just to be polite, might ask a bit of follow-up questions, but most people, myself included, when I ask somebody what they do, they may tell me and I'm like, 'Oh, okay, cool!' And I just kind of gloss over it and move on with the conversation. So I think that we feel especially under-the-gun about our identity in some way that we're projecting onto the situation a little bit. But I do, you know, I live in the Bible belt, so I don't walk around calling myself a psychic to every stranger that I meet. But I will say that I have learned, over time, more and more, how many people DO get me, and DO like what I do, and sometimes I'm pre-judging them and thinking, 'Oh, they're probably super conservative and traditional, and this would wig them out.' And then I find out later that they're not at all. And then I feel like as ass for, you know... being weird about it. Anna: Oh, I so resonate with that! Because sometimes, I've said this before, particularly in the early parts of my practice, where I was like, I feel like the witch on the edge of town that everybody goes to but nobody talks about. Slade: Yes! Anna: Where it's like, sometimes yeah, I'll tell people I'm a psychic and they'll come up to me later on and be like, 'I really want to know more. I just feel really drawn to knowing more.' And it's always kind of funny when that happens, that there is an opening. Oftentimes people are really searching for this, and particularly people who are more conservative often are really, you know, looking for some of this and when - we can create an opening for curiosity, I suppose. Slade: Well and another weird full-circle thing that I've discovered is that sometimes people of religious faith, even though I think, 'Oh, they're really traditional in their faith', people of faith generally are more open to conversations about faith. They're more open to the subject matter of supernatural phenomenon. They believe in angels and guides and archetypes and deities and all this kind of stuff actually. So sometimes they're weirdly open minded about the metaphysical part of it, almost a part that the intellectual crowd would dismiss us for. Sometimes the little old ladies who go to church every day, they're the mystical one. They're totally like down-low witches, you know what I mean? Anna: Totally! Yeah, you know, the way that I relate that is, so I grew up in Utah in Mormon country and my - I was not raised Mormon, but my mom's family is very Mormon. I think she's the only of her eight other siblings that left the Mormon church. So when we go to family reunions, there's always been this like, you know, we kind of get very reserved and we stop cussing. There's just not a lot, besides traffic and weather, that we talk about. But I was really surprised in that - and I feel kind of bad that I was surprised, like not putting as much, kind of faith in these cousins, particularly a couple of women that I grew up with, where we had this fantastic conversation about sensitivity and energy and different energy tools to help her sensitive kids and she was so open to all that, and a very, very devout, religious person. And I realized, wow, that is MY prejudice. That was ME getting in the way of what turned out to be this really beautiful exchange. Slade: Yeah, that's very cool. So obviously you didn't always identify as a professional intutiive or as a psychic new age person, so how did you become one? Anna: Oh gosh, yeah. What's kind of interesting is that I was a scientist first. I have a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree, Slade, in science. In conservation science and environmental science and really, I kind of chalk that up to I'm-really-interested-in-nature. I'm really... I find so many answers in nature and I realized recently - not recently but I've realized over the years that I really have an intuitive, you know, I have intuitive telepathic conversations when I'm in nature. That was kind of the place that I lived - in this very analytical, very scientific place. But on the other side of that, I was always seeking, and, you know, growing up in Utah as a non-Mormon, where everybody (I did a whole podcast on this) everybody that I was around. The town that I was in was a huge percentage Mormon, I think, in the '80s, 80% Mormon. So pretty much all the people that I went to school with had this really strong sense of relationship with God that included a lot of rules and books and, just things I didn't have, but I was really interested in having a relationship with something higher because I saw spirits and animal spirits and all kinds of things. And so, in my early twenties, I started exploring that kind of on the side. I started - well, after I went to college, I started studying. I studied some reiki, I studied qigong, I read the Tao Te Ching, I dabbled in Buddhism, just trying to find a sense of connection and along the way, when I was Colorado (I had taken a year off of school to follow a guy, ahem) I met this great community of intuitives like, the first psychics that I've ever met, and had really ground-breaking, earth-shaking experiences of validation, of really feeling seen for the first time in my life. And it gave in me a sense of direction that I had never really had before. So, over the years, I continued dabbling in meditation and different energy healing arts and it was funny because I think at that time in my early twenties, I read my first Caroline Myss book, the Anatomy of the Spirit, and I was like, 'Ohmygosh. This is so cool. I totally want to do this.' But thinking that it was really out of reach, you know, believing that it's something you're born with or you're not and... Eventually, in my mid-twenties, I asked the main intuitive that I worked with, 'Hey, do you think I could do this?' And she just, she kind of laughed, you know? She was like, 'Ohmygosh, Anna. Of course you can do this!' And so I just started taking some basic energy management meditation classes and then eventually decided to join a full clairvoyant training program. And clairvoyant, I mean, clairvoyance, you've said this on your podcast, where it's like clairvoyance is the only thing people are teaching which I totally agree with that. And for me, it was really helpful because I am very clairsentient, in a way that's actually kind of damaging and hard on my body. So learning to be clairvoyant was really helpful, and I actually then didn't right go out into the world and get readings, or to give readings rather. I had to, I kind of was very type-A, I had to get all the certifications first and studied yoga and ayurveda and stuff. That's the general story. I then eventually, when I moved to Seattle about six years ago, I was going to set up as an ayurvedic practitioner and the laws in Washington are a lot stricter than where they were when I was living in California. I was like, Crap! I can't set up as an ayurvedic practitioner. Well, I guess i'll just give readings then. So I feel like I kind of fell into being a professional psychic but that was definitely the place where I was supposed to be. Slade: Mmm... By the way, your website is called SensitivityUncensored.com, if anybody's listening and they want to kind of look at you and check out your site while we're talking, because there's so much about the personality. The imagery on your site, the language on your site, that really drew me in. And seeing some of that, I immediately connected with you and couldn't help but feel that you must've been motivated to create something in a response to all that goody-goody that's out there that I sort of feel like I try to respond to as well. So I was wondering, what motivated, just kind of the vibe of your site and the concept? Anna: Yeah, oh that's great. That's part of the reason why I was drawn to you, Slade, it was the less hearts and flowers. So I was like, 'Oh, thank God.' Someone else, you know? Slade: Yeah! Anna: Well there's a couple things. First actually, was that I recognized that the clients, the highly sensitive clients I was attracting, one of the real challenges they had was this real sense of seriousness, that everything was so serious. And, like you know what happens when we get serious all the time. Our energy shuts off. It stops flowing, you know? So part - so they learned, working with me, that we're not going to be super serious. We're going to go through important, difficult stuff and we're not going to do that in a life or death, with a life or death energy, you know? We're going to go through a little bit more lighthearted so that we can stay just above and work with what's there. So that was the first thing. The second reason is that I had, before that, kind of pigeon-holed myself with my previous website as like, the perfect healer. I think you know what I'm talking about. It was really annoying, Slade, my website. And I think about it now, I cringe. It's like when you are in the year 2000 with a 1981 haircut. You're like, 'Oh, that should have been updated.' So I had felt like I had created this pressure for myself to show up perfectly, which is like, I'm nowhere near perfect, and it just wasn't the vibe that I actually worked from. So the website was a bit of a 'coming out' in a way for me, being like, 'Hey, yeah i'm a healer and I do things really, really differently.' And then kind of the third thing is, I have avoided for years calling myself psychic because I don't tend to like a lot a lot of the psychic community, kind of that new-age vibe because it's like the Law of Attraction and that's all that exists. Which, like, I just want to vomit a little with that, and I see a lot of clients getting really hung up on some of these new age principles that have been spun really poorly, taught really poorly, kind of from a, I like to call it, Puritanical way, where it's like, 'I did everything right. Why isn't the Universe giving me what I want?' And i'm like, okay well we just kind of - that's not how it works! Slade: There's a kind of fundamentalism that has crept in to it all. Anna: Exactly! Yeah! Slade: Yeah. I totally know - well, I have to say, in keeping with kind of lightness and the vibe of your site when people first land on it, they'll know what I'm talking about. You have to go check this out because I honestly kind of felt like, and I don't mean this to sound in any way like you're smaller than me or less mature, something like that, but I felt like you were like my little sister who I thought of as being like an elementary school kid who suddenly got really cool and turned punk rock over the summer, and I was like, 'Wait a minute!' And I looked at you and I was like, 'Oh wait, she's cooler than me!" And it felt like something I did respond to, you're right. The less hearts and flowers thing. But you had it dialed up in a way that was particularly feminine, I think, but in a badass kind of way, you know, like a babydoll punk kind of vibe. There's something kind of retro '90s grunge about it. I don't know how to put words on it but it was really refreshing and exciting to me to see that, and I do think that you're in a safe space, talking to this group of people who follow me or listen to this podcast. They will totally get you and they will appreciate it and they will laugh in all the right places and be excited. Anna: Right, right. Slade: But you have this manifesto and again, the language that you use, everything is very, kind of, cool and grounded and kind of in your face in a good way that kind of wakes you up. But it's not trying too hard. It feels very natural. It feels, like you said, you came out of some pristine kind of shell that you were trying to be in, and sort of let it all out and, you know what it is? It's like a cool, it's like a cool hair cut. You know, like when you cut all your hair off and you dye it blonde, which I know that you recently did. Anna: Yes! Hahaha... Slade: It's like your site kind of feels like the spiritual 'coming out' version of that. Like, I'm going to go into the bathroom and I'm gonna shave my head and then I'm gonna come out and be like, raccoon eyeliner watch out. Anna: Yeah. Slade: But having said all that, that definitely is like a, WHAT? You know, like it made me stop in my tracks and want to come in. But then when I started to read your actual manifesto, kind of your About page, about where you're coming from and everything, there's some real depth and philosophical originality going on here. So, I want you to kind of talk to me about this concept of Sacred Rebellion, and it's clear from your domain name, Sensitivity Uncensored, that there's this relationship between highly sensitive people and then this concept of rebellion. Explain all that to us. What is that manifesto? Anna: Yeah, absolutely. So I, you know that when I wrote the manifesto, I mean, that comes straight from inside. I feel every word of that manifesto. It wasn't something, when I created my website, that I was like, and then I will have a manifesto! It was like, one day I was like, I have a manifesto! And it must be written! And... I think this is actually where my science background comes in, because something that I observe about the people I work with, people who are sensitive, who are empathic, who are intuitive, we have so many answers for the problems that are plaguing the world. I mean, we are like, I liken this in science to the indicator species, you know? A way you could say that more commonly is, the canary in the coal mine. We can, we feel what's happening. We have a knowingness about what's happening when we're clear. Sometimes we see, we hear, and we receive tremendous amounts of guidance. I really believe that there's a critical place for sensitive, empathic, intuitive people on the planet, and that we currently have a culture that is not set up to recognize our gifts. Nobody is going to step aside for that to happen right? That has to come from us claiming our space, finding our power and our place, wherever we want that to be. I'm not saying we all need to get on the front lines and be social justice warriors or something, you know? But coming into our power and having enough personal sovereignty to do our thing in the world. No matter if that's, you know, being a professional psychic or being a really good interior designer, or an artist that just moves people. I just feel like it's so important. And so, the Sacred Rebellion is that claiming. The Sacred Rebellion has two parts. First, it's about personal practices and personal tools that help us come to a place of spiritual and personal sovereignty, where we are much more able to clearly able to discern between what is our STUFF to deal with and what is the stuff of someone else or the world. Basically being able to discern between energies, right? So that we can do US. That's the first part of Sacred Rebellion. It's a re-claiming, a claiming, remembering. The second part, and I think this is so critical, is the 'so that'. We do that work - SO THAT - we can be in this greater world, earth, doing our part, for humanity, the earth, consciousness, whatever. So, and you pointed this out, so much of my work is really grounded because I believe it has to be. If we really want to change the situation of the planet and really help, you know, human consciousness raise up or, however you want to, however you want to talk about that goal. So, again, the Sacred Rebellion is about doing those two things and doing them in community with other highly sensitive, empathic, intuitive people. I mean, I think I've heard you said, Slade, sorry, you had said, Slade, that, you know, we're spread out, as intuitives. You have that theory we're not all bunched together, and how isolating that is. Slade: Mmhmm. Anna: And I'm like, 'Okay! Let's group up!' Like, we need community, so that's where my Refuge for Sacred Rebellion is that place where we come together and do this. Slade: Yeah, talk about, a little bit about this. It's kind of a program, right? Or it's, I mean, it's a community. You explain what it is, the Refuge for Sacred Rebellion. Anna: Yeah. The Refuge for Sacred Rebellion - it's a membership group. It's a place for highly sensitive, or sensitive souls, empaths, intuitives, others, people who have felt 'othered', to come into community with other highly sensitive empathic psychic others. And I co-lead this with a woman named Heidi Frank Palmer, and she was a long-term client/student of mine who's right up with me, and we are co-leading the space. What we, our goals for this space is, are to create a real sense of community. To provide ample opportunity for us to get to know each other, to share what's happening for us daily and where we're at in our stories. We do this through a Facebook group. We also have monthly discussion calls about different subjects that are either guided by us or guided by other members. Basically the things that creative people struggle with. Like, we break it down. We have what we call 'office hours', kind of stealing something from my college professors, where we kind of hang out online, and if you want to, you can come and ask us questions and get advice as part of the group. And then, twice a year, I teach the Fundamental Tools for my School for Sacred Rebellion and intuitive development Program, and this was, these are a set of tools that I created and originally was calling, 'Sensitive Self-Defense'. It's like spiritual hygiene for sensitives. It's a bunch of meditation tools that really help us take those first steps to getting spiritually sovereign. I used to sell this course for so much money and whatever, and now it's just like, you're in the Refuge, you'll get these tools. Twice a year, we go through it together. You can join us. You can not join us. They're available within the membership area of the website so you can refresh, or work through, at your own pace. Basically we are trying to create a place where you can come, you know, come together and go through this experience of being a sensitive, creative, intuitive soul on this planet at this time. Slade: Hmm, okay. I was hoping that you would have some advice for sensitive people. You kind of touched on that idea of the first thing that you need to do, that kind of sensitive self-defense, and I encounter people who refer to themselves as HSP, Highly Sensitive People, empaths. One of the first things that I teach everyone who comes into my intuitive training is a different kind of shielding technique that's not just a, you know, wall of white light and bleach. It's like, it's too much, you know. I always tell people there's a difference between a blindfold and sunglasses. Anna: Yes, yes! Slade: So what are some tips you have for someone - because the thing about people who are empathic and highly sensitive is, they're the most likely to be shut down. They're the most likely to have walls. They're the most likely to be like, so withdrawn within themselves that they're not seeking, they're not reaching for this stuff like some of us are. So when you encounter one of those people, and you're kind of triaging that highly sensitive empath, and you need to give them a pair of sunglasses instead of a blindfold, what do you advise? What's the first thing to do? Anna: Such a great question. So, the thing that I notice about these people, I mean, this is everyone I work with, is that, I mean, rightly so, they're inside themselves, right? Because the world is fucking harsh. So I just see no judgment in that. They've been doing what they learned to do to protect themselves, you know? Good job. Now it's not working so let's do something else, right? So, what I notice is that HSP, what they do is they eject. Like, their aura usually, not always, but usually the first thing I see clairvoyantly when a HSP comes at me is, they're not in their body. Slade: Mmm... Anna: Because their body is painful. It's too painful to be in their body. It's scary. It's over-whelming. There's so much sensation, you know? So they're just like, I'm ejecting into the spiritual, the theoretical space that is so much easier for me to be in. So before I actually offer sunglasses, and I used to do this, Slade, I used to just offer protection first, and it didn't work for HSP. Slade: Okay. Anna: Because for them, what I find, is they've got to get grounded first. Slade: Okay. Anna: They HAVE to be in their body. So that stuff actually, the first thing that I give them is, I teach them how to create a really dynamically solid grounding cord I'll call it. So it's not like you're stuck to your chair, you know, but it's a way to plug in and to really fill up the space of your body. And then after that, I offer actually a little bit of like, I call it 'turning on the tap', how do you then get nourished with air and water, now that you're in your body, and then I give protection. Because I think about it like, I think about protection kind of like the alarm system of a house. Right? And say this alarm system works like, will only protect if you and all your shit is in your house. You know what I mean? If they're not in their bodies, then what's the alarm system doing, you know? Slade: Mmm... Anna: That's kind of what I, that's how I explain it at least. And this is just came from me working with THIS population for so long, that I was like, Why isn't a protection working? Oh. Because they're not there. Slade: I had an image come to me while you were speaking. I'm just going to share it, that for me, I had this kind of fitness image come in, which was the idea that without core strength, you're not really in a position to work a bunch of kung fu and martial arts, you know what I mean? Anna: Haha.. Totally! Slade: You can't throw a punch if you don't have a strong core. You can't spin around and kick someone in the face if you don't have balance, you know what I mean? You can't put all these muscles on top of something that doesn't have a centre. Which I think, in general, is a lot of what, when people call themselves spiritual seekers or they're working on all these tools and all this stuff, I often find that they're orbiting the body... Anna: Yes! Slade: ...playing with all this stuff that's kind of like in the upper chakras and you've heard me talk about this and the whole idea of re-booting, re-grounding energy and working back up again if you feel like you're frazzled or fried or whatever. But that's coming to me as a part of this picture of what you're describing, like, it doesn't make sense for you... like, you gotta be in your body first before you can manage the kind of shell of energy. Anna: Well, absolutely. I mean, for most HSP, this is our natural tendency, to take up space in the upper chakras at kind of the expense of the lower. And this, then, just generally makes us feel like we do life bad. Slade: Yes! Anna: You know? Most people who are not sensitive and empathic, you know, no judgment on that, but they naturally tend to just hang out in their lower chakras, so it's like, easy to get a job, and kind of easy to make money and they're not too worried about what their Spirit's doing, you know? It's just like, it's basic. And then, HSP we're all up in our upper chakras going like, why can't I get a job that I like? Like, why... Slade: Yes... Anna: Why is this... And it's like, Yeah! There's a gift about occupying those upper chakras. And, you do have a body. And, you don't have to occupy those lower chakras in the same way that everyone else does. So let's find a way to occupy them that, you know, really resonates and validates who you are as a Spirit. Slade: Yeah, it's like your Wifi isn't going to work if the little box isn't plugged in to the wall. Anna: Yes! I love that - that's totally it. Yes. Slade: Yeah, and the thing is, is like, when I talk about people doing that, and I do talk about it because I see it in clients and I see it in myself. There's been this ongoing theme this year where I keep returning to real basic stuff about the body and wellness, and nutrition, and simple fitness. And the thing is, is I don't think that any of that stuff has to be complicated. I think, actually, everyone's impulse is to over-complicate it by a bunch of outfits and special shoes and like, go for a marathon and, I mean it's good to have goals and stuff but I think that if you are sort of working in all those upper chakras and they're not working right for some reason, like you said, I feel like I'm doing this wrong, then look at really simple grounding. Do you walk around outside? Anna: Yes! Slade: Do you feel sunlight on your eyelids? That creates a vitamin in your body, you know? And getting back to your, sort of, I want to say it's kind of neo-pagan, in a way, like the way that you connect from your science background in conservation and ecology back to the sort of you know, earth as life force as a living entity, all that kind of stuff. So there's that connection to it as well, and that's really simple, basic, animal, like you said, lower chakra kind of stuff to work on. And we're all guilty of it. Anna: Oh, yeah. Slade: I mean, I spend most of my time trying to climb up in my third eye and balance on my divine crown all day long and, you know, all this kind of stuff and, you know, everything from the heart chakra up is like getting all this attention and it was a real life-changer for me when I was forced to rebuild my body, first with yoga, and then on some other kinds of fitness. But it came out of a really, like, ohmygod, I had surgery, and my core muscles had been cut into and I had to rebuild my basic strength and I did that after doing all the psychic stuff. So I don't want anybody to think that you can't be perfectly great psychic if you've got, you know, if you're chubby and you're working on it, it's okay. You can still do all this stuff. Anna: Oh, god, yeah! Slade: I used to do all this stuff. But do look at, if it's not working, maybe this is, what we're talking about is the reason why. Anna: Yeah, totally. I just want to add, you can be chubby and not working on it. Slade: You can. Anna: There's nothing wrong with that. Slade: Absolutely. Because, like you said, some people who are really sensitive are not spending time in the body, it's on autopilot in some way, and that could include being sedentary and sort of eating on autopilot and all kinds of things that go along with that. And you are spending all your time in your head. And years and years ago when I tried to quit smoking, I was trying to treat it as an addiction and I went to a doctor who asked me a gazillion questions about my lifestyle. It felt more like a psychiatric assessment, if you've ever been to someone, you know, to be kind of assessed for depression or something like that. There are these elaborate quizzes that you take and it was that kind of process. He told me at the end of it, he said, you're not addicted to the cigarettes, you're addicted to the endorphin that the body releases when you starve yourself and you're using caffeine to stimulate and to stay in your mind and you spend a lot of time doing activities that are super super mental. And it's like your happy place is to feel like a robot, like you're riding around inside this machine and your body is not really you. You're just your brain. And that, I don't know how that changed my perspective but that was the clue to me realizing what was really happening, and it was that I was disassociating. Anna: Totally. And, even like addiction energy is kind of an upper chakra energy anyway though, so it's probably just, you know, easier to focus on and it's funny, as you talked about that, the image I got is like, oh! That kind of helped you drop into your body and kind of let go of that concept of addiction. Slade: Yes. Anna: Super cool. Slade: Total tangent there but I feel like it's all related. It's all related. Anna: Yeah! Slade: I keep having this image, like a... There's gonna be some links that I'm gonna share but there's some images of you on your website, on your psychic school, on your intuitive school program page, that are out in nature and they're very, um, they're very much the, that kind of intersection of spirituality and nature and... That's what this has all been about for me, is kind of bridging those worlds, so to speak. I think that that's really what you're doing, from my perspective. But I'm interested in what you hope to contribute to this kind of new age world, spirituality, personal development... What do you kind of hope to offer? Anna: I think we're... Yeah, that's such a great question. I think you're the first one to really ask it to me. So, you know, I think what I'm really trying to contribute is, there's been a really large focus in this realm of the upper chakras, of transcending the human experience. And I think we've got to stop doing that. To be honest, if we want things to change on the ground, if we actually want to improve this world that we are in, in these human bodies, then I don't think that we can have spirituality divorced from the body, and divorced from what happens in the body. So what I'm hoping to leave behind is, is that. It's how to have all of this juicy, creative, inspirational, psychic stuff, you know, as an in-the-body experience. And actually have it connect us more to our humanity and to, then, how we interact with other humans in the community. I see so much spiritual bypassing these days. I see so much pain and trauma inflicted on other people, saying from some kind of spiritual elitism viewpoint that I think is so harmful, and I see it because we're using our spirituality kind of divorced from our humanity, from our soul, from those deep soulful chakras. So I think that's what I'm trying to do, and really help HSP and empaths step into their power, because there's a power and there's a place for all of us here, particularly us sensitive empaths, and it's so easy for the culture that we're in to feel like there's NOT a place and I just... There is. I think I'm going to say that until I die. There's a place for us and it's really important. Slade: Mmm... We have to talk about your, the free book that you offer on your website and I'm really excited about this. I don't think that, if I'm projecting into the future, I don't think I'd title the podcast this, but I wanted to just steal it and make it the title of the podcast. The title of your e-book is, 'You Are a Goddamn Magical Unicorn', which, I have decided, wins the award for the best title on a subscriber incentive that I have personally seen, and I've looked at a lot of them because I coach people around this, and I was like, Yes! That is awesome. So, 'You're a Goddamn Magical Unicorn'. It's free to everyone who goes to your website. What's it about? Anna: Yeah. So this is actually a guidebook for HSP. It's kind of like, oh! So you found out you're highly sensitive. Here's your instruction manual. Not instruction manual, but your guidebook. And I wrote it from that place of, we are being too goddamn serious, you know. We, there's so much tiptoeing around our sensitivity and just... I just wanted it to be out there. You are special and goddamnit we need you. So this is, I'm not gonna lie, I may have had some whisky while I wrote this, but this is a guidebook written in, take the title, it's written in that sort of tone. It also, though, offers really practical suggestions for getting in your body for grounding. It offers guided meditations. You also, if you sign up for my newsletter, you get a book and you get the guided meditation that's in the book as an audio file. So you get both. Slade: Okay, cool. Anna: Yeah. And I think I even, ohmygosh, I think I even created a unicorn mandala for you to colour in there. But basically it's like, Here's what high-sensitivity means, like, this is what it means biologically. Here's how herd animals, because all mammals have highly sensitive individuals. So here's how mammals handle high sensitivity, which I think is super cool. Like, the highly sensitive deer or like zebras of any herd are so revered, because they're the first ones to know that there's danger. Slade: Mmm! Anna: So everyone is like, What are the sensitives doing? We will follow the sensitives. And it's just in humans where we get all backwards. And so, I talk about the herd mentality in a very fun way and then I talk about, yeah, taking up space as your own highly sensitive being, and here are three ways you can get started. Slade: Okay. That's awesome. That's exactly kind of what I was kind of hoping that you would have somewhere to send someone. When someone approaches me and they say, 'Help, I'm just kind of like, curled up in a ball here.' I always want to say, 'Do this.' And you're right. I teach them how to protect themselves first, and I like what you talked about on the show about the need to be in the body first and all that. So I think that's an incredibly cool resource even if it didn't have such a kickass title, it sounds like a really awesome piece of information, so definitely we will link to that. Go to your website. It's right there on the homepage and you can't miss that cute little image. So what's next for you? Do you have any big projects on the horizon here? Anna: Yes, yes. I have been building what I'm calling the School for Sacred Rebellion for awhile now. And this is kind of the next step from the Refuge. So the Refuge for Sacred Rebellion is that place where we all get started together. Within that, you learn those sensitive self-defense tools that are kind of like Spiritual Hygiene 101. The School for Sacred Rebellion is my intuitive development program where we go through all of the clairs. We learn how to do, um, you can jump in kind of. Part One is doing basic aura healings. So actually working in, I call it 'Activating the healer' because I believe we're all healers so let's just find yours. Let's find your healer and bring them to the forefront. And you can kind of stop there, and that provides you with a tremendous amount of resources just for working with your own energy and doing healings on yourself and with others. And if you want to dive deeper into those intuitive arts, it goes into Part Two, which is developing clairvoyance, claircognizance, clairsentience, clairaudience, all of that and at the end, we finish with this really cool integration mentorship, because I don't want to create little Anna-bots, you know, like you're having to go out in the world and do what I do. The people that are, that this program is really for are, you know, people who are already doing some form of healing work. I mean, it doesn't have to be for this, but people who are like, 'Yeah, I'm a massage therapist', 'I'm a yoga teacher', 'I'm a doctor', and I would just love to have more to offer my people. So you go through this program, you learn which of the clairs are your strengths, how you want to put them together and then in the mentorship, we, you basically get a bunch of one-on-one and group support in how are you going to go do you now, in this world? Slade: One of the things that I notice about it that I thought was really appealing was the fact that it's broken up into stages, almost more like, if you go to college, and you take, like, 101, and then you come back the next semester and do 201, you know, 102, however they number it, I can't remember, it's been too long. But I like the fact that you can kind of come in and get a stage of the work and then get off and work at that level, or you could keep going, or you could come back and go continue on with the next thing. Anna: Yup. Slade: But rather than it being ONE big huge long program that you commit to from the beginning, you can kind of go through it, you can break it up a little bit more, which I think is gonna really appeal to people, both for financial reasons and also just because absorbing and processing some of this stuff, you need to sit with a tool, like what you just described, you know... Anna: Totally. Slade: ...discovering the self-healer within you, that's something you could sit in that might carry you for months, as you're processing that and integrating that into your life, before you feel like you need to come back to the next thing. Rather than kind of stuffing your face with too much stuff and then trying to figure out later, why did I buy all this, you know. Anna: Yeah. Slade: I want to mention, too, that the course is really not officially launching until the summer of 2018 but Anna has decided to share the page with us. Like I said, check it out just for the cool photography, if nothing else. There's some really great imagery there, great information, and if someone does go to that page and they're interested, they can go ahead and start working with some of these programs? Anna: They can, well, yes and no. So my - if you get to the school and you are just super stoked about it, and you really want to be in it, then get into the Refuge, because the Refuge is where you get those, kind of the starter tools... Slade: Okay. Anna: Like, the prerequisite tools that really guide everything else. The next round of teaching those tools is going to be early Fall of this year. And then there'll be another class of the School. Eventually, I hope to have enough co-teachers and enough bandwidth. I have a one year old right now so I don't have a huge amount of bandwidth, that I can have, you know, multiple sections of the courses going at once, so it is like, 'Oh yeah, that section is offered then and then.' Slade: Okay. Anna: But right now it's a little bit more linear, just because of all of that. Slade: Yeah. Okay. So we're getting a sneak peak at what's coming from you. Anna: Yeah! Slade: And that's very, very cool, and still, the entry point would be to get into the Refuge and start working with the tools and the community there, either way. But we'll link to it just so you can check it out and see what's on offer and see your cool new haircut. And um... Anna: Oh, it's funny, Slade. So I just want to share something with you, with the audience, which is that, so I cut all my hair off and dyed it platinum blonde, which I loved. And now I've been doing a bunch of mountain biking in Seattle, around Seattle, and I nailed these upgrades to my bike and my husband was kind of frowning, like, Okay, I won't bleach my hair anymore, in order to pay for the upgrades. You know, to kind of make it even. So right now, I'm kind of rocking '90s boy band colours. Slade: Okay! Anna: You know, like, it's like a little '90s boy band. I'm not that stoked on it but it's kind of funny. Slade: Hey, listen, one of my best girl friends is platinum and it's, you gotta be like, dedicated to platinum. It's a lot of upkeep and a lot of chemistry involved. Yeah. It's not just something you do once. Anna: Nope. Slade: Anna, it's been really fantastic capturing this conversation with you and hearing about your take on everything. I definitely learned a few things and I'm processing some things differently, having spoken with you about HSP and how to, how to work with that. I think I will go away and ponder and probably do some things differently. Definitely gonna be sending some people to the Goddamn Magical Unicorn book and... But just before you leave us, tell everyone where they can go to find you online. Anna: Yeah, you can find me at www.sensitivityuncensored.com. And then I'm also, I'm kind of on Facebook but really I'm more on Instagram @sensitivity_uncensored. Slade: Cool. We'll put all the links in the Show Notes to the various parts of your site that we highlighted. That was great, Anna. Thank you for coming on. Anna: Yeah, thank you so much. I really enjoyed it.

Today I'm getting personal. In this episode, I talk about what a morning in my household looks like (it's not the perfect morning you might imagine), and then tell you about the one-on-one clairvoyant readings I do and how they've helped my clients. I walk you back through parts of my history, back to some of the first spiritual experiences that I can remember, back to the formative years of finding my spiritual truth, and how that process taught me to trust in my intuition. I also talk about learning to tell the difference between intuition and ego. Finally, I talk about how I'm teaching basic intuitive development tools in The Refuge for Sacred Rebellion starting March 20th.

In this episode, Heidi and I discuss the gifts and challenges of living a spiritual life as a highly sensitive person and pioneer. We uncover how to find the vulnerability and courage it takes to live authentically as a highly sensitive person, and share the vision of our new membership group, The Refuge for Sacred Rebellion.

Amy Tatsumi conjures up sacred rebellion, sacred leadership, and sacred unions. This conversation creates a container that enables us to explore our responses to current political events, connect to embodied wisdom, and play with the dance of the masculine and feminine. Amy gathers women together for their sacred work. She is a portal for them to remember who they are and who they have always been. Her own path of awakening includes Qoya and Tantra, both of which she describes in depth during the episode. There’s so much to explore in the interplay between the sacred masculine and divine feminine. Amy sheds some light on the “diminished masculine” and describes it as walking through the shadow of shame and hustling for worthiness the swampland of the soul. (Yeah. Wow.) And then there’s the vision of the wolf. Amy shares with us the messenger who and gave her an understanding of the divine masculine that helped her understand she herself had been in the living through the diminished masculine. Once she experienced this opening, she understood how to access the divine feminine within. Moving out of fear and into sacred rebellion relies on embodied practices including Qoya, a movement practice that combines free movement, sensual movement, and dancing your yoga as prayer. “Through movement,” says Amy, “we women remember we are wise, wild, and free.” There’s also Tantra, which Amy describes not as a sexual practice, but a way to “become your own source for Source.” It’s her hope that women wake up through Qoya, and use tantric practices to become unblocked so they can become sacred rebels. These practices create sacred union, combining sacred feminine and masculine. More about Amy: Amy Tatsumi is a healer, teacher, and guide and has worked with over 10,000 clients during the past 15 years. She blends her experience as an art psychotherapist, The Daring Way Consultant, Qoya teacher, tantric coach, and retreat guide to support women in knowing, trusting and growing their gifts in their life, work, and relationships. In 2017, Amy is gathering women in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Mount Shasta, California, and Aso, Japan for sacred retreats.
