  • 82. Feminine Warrior Spirit Echoed: Finding Truth & Meaning Through Midlife Crisis and Burnout & Becoming ALL of Who You Are with Amy Fournier

    Hello and welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite!  Today’s show is a recast of MYSELF featured on the “Integrate Yourself” podcast of my dear friend, holistic personal trainer and nutrition and lifestyle coach, Allison Pelot. Together we explore our personal experiences with the midlife crisis (or Allison’s term: “midlife awakening”) and how that can actually happen at anytime, as well as the tools and lessons I acquired along the journey to my present self.  This podcast holds many important pieces of my story: from learning to connect with my soul with music and indigenous spiritual wisdom to shedding my old beliefs about perfectionism, external validation and expressing my truth. So yup, once again, I get pretty personal with you! We finish with a discussion on the Great Awakening of our current time and what it truly means to speak your truth and live in integrity. So buckle up, get comfortable and join our sister-soul connection for this one special podcast!

  • 81. The Missing Ingredients To Total Health: Polyvagal Theory, Musical Expression And Balancing Your Nervous System With Holistic Medicine Practitioner Dr. Cliff Oliver

    You know to be healthy and fit, not to mention sleep well and look younger than we actually are, we MUST get a handle on S-T-R-E-S-S!

This can present as busy-ness, overwhelm, a lack of a sense of control, living with an undercurrent of fear and anxiety or being a "worrier".

    That's why I'm thrilled to have today's guest, Dr. Cliff Oliver back on the show!

    • 80. Understanding the Influence of Culture on Aging, Biology, Illness and the Immune System with Psychoimmunologist, Author and Longevity Expert Dr. Mario Martinez

      What a pleasure and honor to have world-renowned cultural psychoneuroimmunologist Dr. Mario Martinez on the show today.  I've had both of his ground-breaking books, The Mind Body Code and The Mind Body Self in my library since college when my acute fascination with the mind-body connection really kicked in so I was thrilled to be able to sit down with Dr. Martinez and learn from a true pioneer in the industry and founder of Biocognition, or what he calls, the mindbodyculture.


      Dr. Martinez is a licensed clinical psychologist who argues that current mechanical models of the life sciences study disease by reducing the body to pathological parts. He proposes that the healing process must include the cultural history that contextualizes the mind-body expression of health, and challenges the cultural beliefs that perpetuate genetic helplessness. Biocognitive theory integrates research in psychoneuroimmunology, neuroscience, and cultural anthropology to conceptualize and address the causes of health, the learning of illness, and the biocultural ingredients of longevity.

      • 79. Wisdom Teachings For Inner Peace In the Modern World From Native American Shaman and Medicine Man Bear Heart with Molly Larkin

        Have you ever read a book that immediately changed your life and touched your Soul?

        My guest in this episode, Molly Larkin, and her co-author and mentor, Native American Shaman and Medicine Man, Bear Heart (Marcellus William) of the Muskogee Creek tribe, did just that.

        I was so humbled and deeply grateful when Molly agreed to come on the show so she could share with you these profound wise teachings with the hopes that they will help you find more meaning, peace, purpose, connection and joy in your life - I know it did for me!

        Molly has been a spiritual seeker since the age of seven, when she learned about the scientific understanding of the time that human beings only utilize 10% of their cognitive capacity. That moment sparked her intrigue into the vast possibilities of human potential and her desire to utilize the entirety of her brain's capacity in her life. 

        Molly has studied with various indigenous elders from around the world for over 30 years and was Bear Heart’s apprentice for 15 years, learning many of his medicine methods. She is a Sun Dancer, a Vision Faster and a Pipe Carrier. Molly has also studied with Lakota elders Wallace Black Elk and Maya Priest and Master Teacher Miguel Angel Vergara. She is an energy healing practitioner and works with an international clientele of people and animals, both in person and via long distance. She teaches healing classes in the U.S. for the largest healing organization in Europe: NFSH-The Healing Trust. Molly has taught personal growth and spirituality workshops in the U.S., Europe, and Australia (whew!). Molly also teaches classes in spiritual healing and is available for private consultations and readings online.

        As I mentioned, most significantly, Molly co-authored, with Muskogee Creek elder Marcellus “Bear Heart” Williams, the international best-seller “The Wind Is My Mother; the Life and Teachings of a Native American Shaman” -- a book that touched my Soul. Find this fantastic book now at my eStore!

      • 78. Connecting With Nature: A Discussion on "Animal Speak: The Spiritual, Symbolic & Magical Powers of Creatures Great and Small" by Ted Andrews

        Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite!

        Do you have a pet? Do you love animals?

        ME TOO! 

        In this episode, we explore the classic book, “Animal Speak: The Spiritual and Magical Powers of Creatures Great and Small” by Ted Andrews who was a pioneer and leading expert in helping us understand animals and nature as well as the metaphysical and spiritual fields of life at large. Although I never had the opportunity to actually meet Ted, I consider him to be a mentor of mine because his work has profoundly affected my life. 

        We explore modern technology’s interference with authentic connection and look to Ted’s 10 tips for regaining our lost gift of communication with wildlife, omens and the symbolism that emerges from our subconscious awareness:

        1. Experience nature firsthand.
        2. Examine the wildlife in your environment.
        3. Orient yourself in your landscape.
        4. Pay closer attention to physical signs of nature.
        5. When in nature, pay attention to what stands out most strongly.
        6. Notice the colors you encounter in nature.
        7. Attend to the numbers associated with the animals you encounter.
        8. Notice the four directions and their significance.
        9. Pay attention to the animal activities you come across.
        10. Make a conscious effort to connect with nature.

        12. 77. The Hopi Prophecy: Navigating Our Times with Confidence, Grace and Community While Stepping Into The 5th Dimensional Reality with Astrologer Marilyn DuMont

          My guest today is Marilyn Dumont who has been an Astrologer since 1998 and practices Archetypal Astrology, incorporating AstroDrama and the psychology of the Soul in her very successful online private coaching practice. Marilyn is also the author of the popular book, The IMark Code, Psychology of Astrology which led to the development of a unique way of reading that reveals the patterns of how one communicates in the world and thus makes her readings extremely practical and useful!

          In this episode, we discuss *The Hopi Prophecy and its direct connection to the planetary shifts that are currently challenging us as a collective to transcend the third dimension. Thank goodness for the advice from the wise elders on how to navigate these choppy waters! *You can download and explore The Hopi Prophecy further HERE from my website.

        13. 76. Harnessing the Energy of the Sun and Stars: Scalar Light Healing with Tom Paladino: Harnessing Primal Life-Force to Heal Yourself and The World

          Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite! In this week's episode, you will learn all about Scalar Energy and the work of Tom Paladino. Tom has spent his life studying and progressing the genius of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Galen Hieronymus. We discuss how research shows that scalar waves can communicate instantaneously across very long distances, and how you can benefit directly from Scalar Light therapy! 

          As I say all the time on this show: light, like food, water, sound, chemicals, etc. is actually information for our mind and body and it literally gives the cells in the body instructions on what to do. That’s why I was thrilled when today’s guest, Tom Paladino, agreed to come on the show, because I’m only starting to learn and understand how powerful and healing natural light can be. 

          Tom is a Scalar Light Researcher with over 25 years of experience developing healing techniques designed to help people all over the world to recover from pathogenic infection and experience true health and wellness – not to mention look younger! Scalar light is Chi, Prana, BG3, sunlight, starlight, life force – it’s the original source from which all other forms of energy originate – You could say it’s the very essence of consciousness itself. One of the things I really love about this is it doesn’t draw on the finite energy resources and supplies of Mother Earth other forms of energy does…and you know I’m all about protecting and loving her and restoring harmony and balance both within and without.

          In this episode Tom explains how we can both understand and harness this healing power in our everyday lives – and it’s totally painless and effortless I might add – to not only cure illnesses and disease but also enhance our overall quality of life – *Charlotte and I are signed up!

          *Stay tuned to the end of the show for Tom’s special FREE TRAIL offer!

        14. 75. Healing The Father Wound With Forgiveness Coach Rachel Isabella

          If you, or someone you know, has issues with feeling abandoned, rejected or in some way emotionally wounded or estranged from one of your parents, or if you are a single parent and your child does not have a healthy relationship with his/her other parent, this episode is for you.

          My guest today is Rachel Isabella who is a forgiveness coach specializing in helping "fatherless daughters". As a fatherless daughter herself, Rachel now helps other fatherless daughters heal their heart wounds, forgive, let go and create wonderful lives out of their pain rather than making poor decisions and life choices because of it. She believes forgiveness is fundamental in order to live a healthy, happy, peaceful life (and I agree!).

          Rachel defines "fatherless daughters" as someone who's:

          1. Father physically abandoned them

          2. Father was physically absent

          3. Father was emotionally absent

          4. Father died

          5. Mother does not know who the father was

          We learn that there is a specific and deep emotional wound of unworthiness in fatherless daughters that can manifest in many ways including promiscuity, neediness, emotional shut down/unavailability, lack of intimacy, relationship issues, abandonment/attachment issues, addictions and more.

          Most importantly, we talk about how to heal and move on to reclaim your life with a practical discussion on boundary setting, 6 reasons you should forgive and advice for single mom's on how you can fill in the holes left from an absent male figure in your child's life.

          Enjoy and please share with someone you love if you think will help them!:)
