Awakening Aphrodite

Do you spend lots of money on an expensive skincare routine?

What if I told you that there is something much more effective, natural and bioavailable than all those creams, serums and lotions on the market?

Hint: humans have used it for ages, it's very gentle and absorbable, it promotes collagen production, evens skin tone, reduces wrinkles and firms and tones skin. And... it comes from pigs!

Stay with me here! Charles Mayfield, my guest today, is a huge fan of pigs. In fact, they're his favorite animal! He raises him on his regenerative farm where they play a key role in maintaining open land and cultivating soil health. Charles is the founder of Farrow Skincare, a beautiful company that "leads with lard," and is nurturing humans, pigs and the planet. Try out Farrow Skincare for yourself with code "APHRODITE" for 15% off all their amazing products!

Did you know that astrology is fundamentally related to mythical tales of gods, goddesses, and supernatural earthy phenomenon?

Yes! In fact, mythology is the very foundation of human civilization. We developed higher cognition and language through storytelling: the symbolic retelling of relationships, tragedies, heroic acts and our understanding of the natural world around us. We familiarized ourselves with the mysterious star-shapes in the sky through storytelling.

Letao Wang, my guest today, is an expert on the connections between mythology, astrology and psychology. He is an accomplished astrologist and tarot specialist and the founder and spiritual counselor of the ⁠Healing Kingdom⁠. Since 2015, Wang has served clients both in his local city of Hong Kong and internationally, offering insights through astrology, tarot, and numerology readings. Alongside this, he pens the astrology column for the well-known Hong Kong Living Magazine.

In this episode, you'll learn about working with Letao's amazing oracle cards, the tarot, and a practical application of Ancient Greek mythology. Letao discusses the differences between deity worship and the study of archetypes as well as the beautiful myths of Helen of Troy, Queen Penelope of Ithaca, Orpheus the Wounded Healer, and Atalanta, the swiftest woman in the world, and how these characters shed insight on our everyday journeys through life.

Let me tell you... I've been looking forward to interviewing Dr. Fiona Lovely for a long time and this conversation STILL exceeded my expectations!

Welcome to a world in which we know and embody our inherent Divine Feminine wisdom. We feel into new things and test new information against our intuition. We settle into each day gently, free of addiction to stress and adrenaline spikes. We habituate acts of self-care and self-love every day, engaging only in actions that nourish us. We are embodied, selfish/selfFULL and unapologetically own our voices and our space.

Easier said than done, right?

Well, don't worry, because Dr. Fiona Lovely is here! Tune in to hear her wise perspective on menstruation and female hormones, tips for regulating your nervous system, the importance of discharging stressful energy, and advice for women who are facing new challenges with sex, lubrication, joint pain, and genitourinary wellness in peri-menopause. This conversation is full of incredible Fiona-isms – you'll soon understand what I mean ;)

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a women’s health expert with specialties in functional medicine, functional neurology and restorative endocrinology. Her practice focus is to find the root cause of dis-ease, reaching all aspects of health and making space for wellness. She is the creator and host of a popular long-running podcast on the passage of peri-menopause called Not Your Mother’s Menopause. Millions around the world have downloaded the podcast, listening in to learn about the physical, mental and spiritual journey of menopause. You can find her work at drlovely.com and @drfionalovely on IG and tiktok.

Welcome back, friends!

Today we will direct our energy within the frequency of loving kindness. We will radiate this love outwards and allow it to abundantly shower over ourselves as well.

This is a Buddhist Metta prayer interpretation from HeartSong Yoga. It is a simple and profound message that gently allows us to be the solution to hate, anger, and violence.

Don't forget: love always wins in the end.

Things are not as they seem, folks!

The world we occupy through our "sensory masks," as Dr. Ibrahim Karim puts it, has caused us to lose touch with the Universe.

We're feeling the implications of that now through corruption, environmental destruction, skyrocketing rates of chronic diseases and mental health disorders, animal extinction, deforestation, over-extraction of resources, war, social injustice and global climate change.

As a society, we are almost completely separate from not only the nature around us, but also the intrinsic wisdom of our bodies.

Was it always this way? How can we restore balance?

In this episode, Dr. Ibrahim Karim beautifully explains these important dynamics, the qualities of masculine and feminine energy, the brilliance of ancient societies, and the importance of restoring awareness to the right brain.

Why are the holidays so enchanting, universally and separately from any organized religious activities?

How did our ancestors honor these planetary transitions and celebrate the changing of the seasons?

If we recognize their deep-rooted traditions, can we feel more aligned and connected with the cycles of nature?

This episode is an exploration of the 8 ancient Pagan celebrations that underlie the more recent Christian holidays. Together, we'll dive into the cosmic dance of astrological cycles and the annual phases of the sun, discovering the profound connection between these ancient celebrations and the natural world. Throughout the episode, I'll share insights into the significance of rituals and rites of passage, unveiling the rich Pagan traditions of Paganism and unravelling its stigmatized nature. We'll also review the importance of aligning our diets with the seasons to savor the abundance of nourishment nature provides.

I hope you enjoy this exploration of spirituality, ancient traditions, and the timeless essence of the Wheel of the Year!

When the energetic resonance of women's voices originate from deep within us, we speak our truth.

According to Dr. Christine Page, and many others, this is the voice of the Womb.

The Womb is the seat of feminine power and our source of intuition, knowing, and connection with the divine.

When we speak from the throat, our voices become higher in pitch, wordy and brain-centered. When we speak from the Womb, our voices reverberate with the relationship-building power of the Sacral Chakra and we effortlessly magnetize attention to our message.

Today I will be sharing from The Handbook of Women's Mysteries: Practices to Reclaim Our Ancient Gifts and Powers by Dr. Christine Page, my two-time podcast guest and beloved mentor. This handbook aims to unearth women's mysteries so they can be shared with women and girls everywhere. When women embrace their inner strengths, align to their natural rhythms and embody their creative powers, a new world of peace, cooperation, and abundance will be born.

What is the energy of 2024?

According to Numerology, 2024 is a year 8 (2+0+2+4). The number 8 is a powerful symbol representing infinity, material abundance and balance.

In this quick episode, I'll be reviewing the significance of this year with reference to the Tarot, astrology and numerology. Early on in my show, I recorded a conversation with Dr. James Wanless, who authored best-selling Voyager Tarot Card Decks and Sustain Yourself- Green Wisdom Tarot Cards. We discussed whether the Tarot deck is devil worship and how it can be used as a tool to connect with your powerful unconscious self. You can listen to that episode here!
