Awakening Aphrodite

What do you think about when you think about nurturing yourself? 

How does it make your feel? What is your first reaction?

The concept of self-care may be foreign to you, because it is a learned behavior taught to us by our primary caretakers. For those of us who were raised to be tough and successful to the detriment of our emotional safety, the mere idea of self care may feel frustrating or confusing. But the truth is, people who succeed prioritize themselves and their desires. Contrary to societal norms, which promotes "selflessness" and giving maximal effort in all endeavors, I have learned that the self absolutely must come first. Only once the self has been nurtured can we provide for others and the collective. As they say, you can't pour from an empty cup! 

So, do you struggle to nurture yourself? In this episode, I reference Laura Davis's "Courage to Heal Workbook," which was designed to support the healing journey of child abuse survivors. If self care is difficult for you, you may find insight by asking yourself the following questions:

I hope this episode inspired you to continue developing your unique practice of self-nurture. If so, sharing your kind thoughts & feedback in a quick review is the ULTIMATE way to support Awakening Aphrodite.

Loss, death and grief are inherent aspects of life on this beautiful planet. But how can we trust this cycle when the pain of losing a loved one feels like it will tear us apart? How can joy or hope coexist with this darkness?

This week, I am honored to present Amelia Kinkade, a worldwide celebrity in the field of animal communication and one of my personal spiritual mentors. This show has been blessed with her appearance once before on Episode 96, which is all about how to nourish yourself, recognize intuitive messages and communicate with animals. Today we explore the topics of death and rebirth as I struggle with the loss of my sweet longtime companion, Charlotte. As a true animal communicator, Amelia shares beautiful insights into animals' roles here on earth and the intricate pattern they weave as they dip in and out of our lives. We also discuss tips for caring for elderly pets, the "naturalness" of the so-called supernatural, and what it means to truly relate with unconditional love.

Amelia is a well-known figure who has appeared in various media outlets, including newspapers and television shows, such as The Ellen Degeneres Show and BBC News. She is particularly passionate about leading her annual Sacred Harmony Safaris in Africa and assisting organizations that rescue and protect animals such as tigers, elephants, cheetahs, penguins, and more. Additionally, she founded Amelia's Arcangel Society, a nonprofit organization that supports the education of children in rural Africa to help reduce poaching and protect endangered wildlife. You can learn all about Amelia's offerings, courses, books, luxury experiences and more at ameliakinkade.com!

What makes a successful relationship? 

In today's episode, I will be reading to you from “Ultimate Confidence: The Secrets to Feeling Great about Yourself Every Day” by Marisa Peer. This will be Part II of a multi-episode Fast Friday series inspired by Marisa, so stay tuned!

The practice of giving and receiving love is laden with valuable (and oftentimes challenging!) lessons that compel us all to confront our deepest fears and unconscious mechanisms. This is Earth School, after all! Though each relationship - be it romantic, platonic, or familial - is beautifully unique in its own way, there are some well-defined red flags that we must recognize and avoid if we hope to build healthy relationships:

Marisa Peer is a world renowned speaker, Rapid Transformational Therapy trainer and best-selling author. She has nearly three decades of experience as a therapist and has been named Best British Therapist by Men's Health magazine and featured in Tatler's Guide to Britain's 250 Best Doctors. Marisa uses her experience of treating clients including rock stars, CEOs, elite Olympic athletes, royalty and Oscar-winning actors to inform her life-changing speeches and lectures. She has been voted best speaker at numerous conferences including The Mastermind Group London and the Women in Business Superconference, Awesomeness Fest 2015 and The Royal Society of Medicine. In 2015, Marisa launched her Marisa Peer Method School, teaching her unique method for the first time to audiences in London, Canada, the US and Australia.

What if I told you that your dharma is stored in a great cosmic library, along with all that has been and all that will ever be?

My previous conversation with Vanessa Lambert (check out Episode 145!) was so enjoyable and inspiration-packed that the topic took on a life of its own and we didn’t get to nearly half of the question I’d planned to cover! So, in today’s special episode, I ask Vanessa all about her experiences as a teacher of the mysterious Akashic Records. What is this cosmic library, and what does it feel like to access its information? Vanessa shares several mind-blowing realizations she divined from the Records both personally and for her clients. We also discuss what it means to be a lightworker, how to find grounding in your body, and how to be a clear channel for the Divine to work through.

Vanessa has been a conduit for group and individual transformation for the past 30 years. As both a coach as well as a retreat facilitator, she offers a more holistic approach to health, fitness and spirituality rooted in her own insatiable pursuit of the World’s leading edge of healing modalities, whether they be modern or ancient in origin. Vanessa is the co-founder of Bee The Wellness and founder of Starseed Collective, both of which showcase her unique flavor and ability to cultivate community by creating dynamic, healing containers to facilitate groups and individuals who seek transformative change through holistic means.

Vanessa and her husband host an incredible annual Bee Fest event (next scheduled for April 2023!), which YOU are encouraged to join with her gracious discount for Awakening Aphrodite listeners… are you ready for this? If you sign up for Bee-Fest Palmaïa and enter the word “awakening” at checkout, you will receive $500 off this event. It is a 5-day festival created for the spiritual, the seekers, the poets, and the dreamers…. You will bond with other incredible humans who are also ready to alchemize this experience into pure potential! You might even see me there :)

Friends, get ready for something that's going to change your life! I am so excited to share today's episode with you with my guest, Dr. Ibraham Karim, Egyptian Architect and Scientist (D.Sc./Dipl.Arch.-ETH, Zurich). Dr. Karim is the creator of BioGeometry which is the science of the subtle energies that is taking the world by storm and been a complete gamer-changer for me. In a nutshell, BioGeometry shows us how so many things other than just physical matter and what we can perceive with our 5 senses, can affect our life: things such as shapes, colors, numbers, angles and sounds. Dr. Karim takes us on a deep dive into the origins of creation, life force and the origins of the masculine and feminine forces. He also helps us make sense of our time-space perception and shares the all important "intellect of the heart" and gives some insight into what reincarnation REALLY is, plus the sacred power of the womb and how sex is a portal to the Divine....plus so much more!

The ultimate goal of BioGeometry is to help us recreate the harmonizing and empowering balanced energy of sacred power spots (think the Great Pyramid, holy sites, etc.) in our everyday lives - this is very real and practical stuff friends - I have been an avid student of BioGeometry for years now and experience it's benefits directly EVERY DAY (as do my pets, plants, friends, etc...).

And you can too!

Purchase your own special energy harmonizing items for yourself and/or your home using my discount code "AMYFOURNIER" at https://amyfournier.com/biogeometry/ and you can check out my IG channel, @FitAmyTV to see all the various ways I use BioGeometry in my life every day! BioGeometry has become a part of my natural lifestyle and I am so very grateful to Dr. Karim and his team for bringing it  to the world. I really hope you try it for yourself so you can feel more harmonized too!

Thank you so much for tuning in. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss my next interview with Dr. Karim in Part 2 coming soon!

Welcome back to Fast Friday! In today's episode, I will be reading to you from “Ultimate Confidence: The Secrets to Feeling Great about Yourself Every Day” by Marisa Peer. This will be Part I of a multi-episode Fast Friday series inspired by Marisa, so stay tuned!

Marisa  is a world renowned speaker, Rapid Transformational Therapy trainer and best-selling author. She has nearly three decades of experience as a therapist and has been named Best British Therapist by Men's Health magazine and featured in Tatler's Guide to Britain's 250 Best Doctors.

The section I'll be reading in this episode focuses on how to silence your inner critic. To truly tune down that voice, we first need to understand why it's there. What purpose does the inner critic serve? We also must come to terms with the basic function of the mind, which is this: to answer questions. 

The real transformation begins when we learn how to ask questions in such a way that our minds are set free to generate empowering and life-affirming answers.

Okay, so we each have these two "sacred polarities" within us. But what do masculinity and femininity really mean in a day-to-day context? How do we harmonize, or, more importantly in the modern day, IDENTIFY with these archetypal energies?

Welcome back to the Sacred Polarities Podcast Part II, in which our amazing 6 guests (minus Josh this time!) get personal about the role of the sacred Masculine and Feminine in their lives. How does the modern perspective on masculinity and femininity challenge them, and how does it support their identities, values and commitments? We also get real about (our thoughts on) gender confusion, men's circles, breastfeeding, motherhood, anger... and a whole lot more.

Are you interested enough in yourself to experience your unexplored facets, shadows and soul's yearnings?

Today, my guest is Vanessa Lambert. I was referred to Vanessa by a friend of mine, Jared Pickard, whose expertise on regenerative and biodynamic farming is featured on Episode 98. I guess he figured that Vanessa and I might hit it off and wow, he was right! I couldn't believe it. In fact, Vanessa and I had such a great conversation that we both wanted to do another episode together! What a blessing! Please stay tuned for Part II!

Vanessa has been a conduit for group and individual transformation for the past 30 years. As both a coach as well as a retreat facilitator, she offers a more holistic approach to health, fitness and spirituality rooted in her own insatiable pursuit of the World’s leading edge of healing modalities, whether they be modern or ancient in origin. Her personal interests, and later her professional offerings, expanded to include a wide range of soft-energy, movement, breathwork, and alternative healing arts, including certifications in Spiritual Counseling, Kundalini Yoga, Akashic Reading, Reiki, and Sound Healing. Vanessa is the co-founder of Bee The Wellness and founder of Starseed Collective, both of which showcase her unique flavor and ability to cultivate community by creating dynamic, healing containers to facilitate groups and individuals who seek transformative change through holistic means.

In light of the chaos, novelty and disjointed social connection of our time... how can we truly take care of ourselves?

In this Fast Friday episode, I will whisk you back to an essential teaching from Marilyn DuMont, my esteemed guest on Awakening Aphrodite Episode 54, Understanding and Working with Planetary Shifts and Astrology in the New Aquarian Age and Episode 77, The Hopi Prophecy: Navigating Our Times with Confidence, Grace and Community While Stepping Into The 5th Dimensional Reality. Marilyn DuMont has practiced Archetypal Astrology for over 20 years and is known to incorporate AstroDrama and the psychology of the Soul in her very successful online private coaching practice. She now lives in Andrews, North Carolina where she also owns The Open Porch Metaphysical Gift Shop and Knowledge Center.

The 12 Steps to Self Care are related to the message of the Hopi Prophecy, which you can read directly from my website here. The wise Hopi elders who carried this Prophecy use direct yet poetic language to share deep insight into our global present and near future. They heed us to speak our truth and trust the quickening flow of the river as it carries humanity into the unknown. These 12 Steps to Self Care will guide you in light of this crucially important prophesy and hopefully inspire you along your journey of fulfilling your highest potential.

People are notorious for failing at their New Years resolutions. It's been said that as many as 80% quit by March! Not sticking to this commitment to yourself can feel discouraging and painful to your self esteem— but the truth is, failing to stick to a new regimen or attain recently-set goals is incredibly common.

So, in this special soul-cast, I’m going to tell you all about my Secret New Years' Resolution Alternative! 

My soul + heart intention for 2023 is this: I now embody the goddess in me. Tune in for a breakdown of those powerful words, my tips for tapping into your inner goddess and some advice for sticking to a commitment without beating yourself up about normal human mistakes! After all, the archetypal Feminine is all about the process and the journey, not the destination ;)
