The Purpose Girl Podcast is the modern woman’s home for finding purpose and living a fulfilling life. 

With a masters degree in the science of happiness, a passion for the divine feminine, and a powerful resilience through horrific traumas, Carin Rockind powerfully encourages women to rise above life’s challenges and chaos to thrive. She gets real and raw to uplift others. 

Carin’s core belief in life is that every single person on earth has a unique purpose. Because no two people have the same strengths, talents, passions and experiences, each of us has a unique contribution to make in this world. Each of us has a special gift to offer. That is our purpose. And when we’re living that purpose, when we’re giving our special gift to world, we’re happy.

Through listening to powerful interviews with purposeful women, learning practical tools to live your purpose now, and gaining an understanding of the science and spirit behind purpose, The PurposeGirl Podcast will help you discover your true self, overcome obstacles, and rise to becoming the bold beautiful woman you were born to be.

238 Ways to Connect While on Break

In honor of Pride month here in the US, I wanted to bring you a genuine conversation with a number of dear friends of mine about our own discoveries about our places in the LGBTQIA+ universe. We’re having a frank, open discussion about our experiences, our joys, our struggles, and so much more. Regardless of how you (or those in your lives) identify, these issues touch all of us, and I want to help bring greater understanding to my community and to all those whose lives you touch. I’m joined by three amazing guests – not “experts” per se, simply real people: Kelly Mahalak, Cassandra Coghill, and Chivas Sandage – as we dive into:  Our own journeys to self-discovery The terms we use to describe ourselves, and the challenges in using these terms Compulsory heterosexuality Coming out is not a one-time thing The privilege and curse of “passing” The many joys in our lives related to our queerness  Laughter. Tears. Deep truths. This conversation has it all!!! About Cassandra A. Coghill I am Cassandra A. Coghill, a Relationship Alchemist and Intimacy Guide. I am a healer, a priestess, and a witch. I have a Bachelor's degree in Women and Gender Studies, with a minor in Human Development and Family Science, from North Dakota State University in Fargo, ND. (Go Bison!)  While attending college, I became a certified Reiki Master Practitioner and gave birth to my first child. While pregnant with my second child, I was initiated onto the path of priestesshood at the Goddess Temple of Ashland, Oregon. I am also an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church. A powerful inner call to understand the mysteries of life lead me into the study of metaphysics and the occult from a young age. I have been a practicing solitary white witch for the past 11 years. I have studied the Tarot since 2014 and consult it and other oracles for myself and my clients regularly. I work with the so-called “classical” or “Western” elements of Air, Water, Fire and Earth in nearly everything I do. My love for the so-called “Eastern” traditions runs deep (I’ve studied yoga, tantra, ayurveda, traditional chinese medicine, feng shui and Buddhist philosophy informally but extensively); but, as a person of predominantly British ancestry, the deepest and most powerful magick I bring forth tends to be drawn from ancient, indigenous European traditions, rituals, symbologies and myths. I commune with angels, dance with faeries and sing the songs of my ancestors regularly.” To learn more about and follow Cassandra:  infinitegenesis.com/bio-links  Facebook.com/Cassandra.coghill.37  Instagram.com/Cassandra.coghill About Chivas Sandage Chivas Sandage teaches women’s writing workshops on Zoom and also works privately as a coach, editor, and consultant.

237 Discovering and Living Our Sexuality - A Conversation

Play comes naturally to most children, but as we get older, playfulness, zest, tends to diminish. We get stuck in responsibilities, or maybe you feel like play is frivolous. But then you also end up feeling unhappy and depressed and play is a way out of it. The power of play can really help us live more enjoyable, fulfilling, and even productive lives. My two guests today, Elaine O’Brien and Andrea Seydel, are not only dear friends of mine, but they just coauthored a book on this, and I am so thrilled to have them share their wisdom with you! Today we’re discussing:  Why we lose our sense of play as we get older Why play is so important to our wellbeing Reconnecting to how we like to play Easy ways to bring more play into our lives The value of “micromoments” How we can adopt a play mindset The scientific argument for play Why play is crucial to getting through challenging times  About Elaine O’Brien Dr. Elaine O’Brien is one of the most informed academics, theorists, and practitioners on the intersection of positive movement, fitness, vitality, mental and physical health, and zesty aging.

235 Ways of WOMAN (WOW) 1 - Positive What If

I grew up the grandchild of Holocaust survivors. My grandparents fled Europe and came to the United States with nothing, and their experiences understandably left them with concerns about money and scarcity. Some of this rubbed off on me, along with my own experiences growing up around people who had far more money than I did (not that I wanted for anything). And as a result, I ended up with my own set of issues around money. Today’s episode is a bit of a departure for me, since I rarely focus on money, but that’s what we’re diving into today. Join me as I talk all about:  Power leaks around money Conscious women with money are going to save this world Why I want more money... And what is YOUR secret desire for money? Our own money stories Changing “I can’t” statements to… The intersection of science and The Law of Attraction The six steps to changing your relationship with money  To learn more about my new class, MONEY Magic, go to: https://carinrockind.com/moneymagic To learn more about and join The Year of WOMAN Membership, go to: https://carinrockind.com/woman We’re changing the world one woman at a time.
