Cafe con Pam

Listeners, this week we're back with the magical Ianne Celeste Rivera.

Ianne is a southern California girl, born and raised, a proud Bruin, devoted Beyonce stan, unabashed makeup lover, and a seeker of the spirit in all. Her whole life she’s lived with curiosity and wonder, fascinated by her own human being-ness. It was this interest that led her to a career as a research scientist. Ianne has dedicated 10+ years to the study of the inner-workings of us! This career has taken her far and wide, across the world and back. Along the way, Ianne was guided to an even deeper study of ourselves; the study of our spiritual nature and the divinity of our sexuality and sensuality. Prompted by the experience of what she calls her spiritual awakening in 2012, she has since been intuitively guided by her eternal mantra and process, "release to receive to give". With this intention in tow, Ianne sought to find a way to combine her science background with the spiritual. It began to unfold as she became a certified Yoga teacher as well as a Reiki practitioner, and Meditation guide. With an M.A. in Psychology in Education, Ianne has gained a mastery of knowledge in eroticism and healing along with her own personal experiential knowledge, all which allow her to support her clients as a holistic pleasure coach, to discover their sacred sexual power and to uncover the divine in their sensuality.

During this episode, Ianne and I talked about her experience as a scientist, having tough mentors, putting fear in the back seat, and reclaiming pleasure. 

Ianne shares with us some practices we can put in place so we can allow ourselves to feel and reclaim our sensuality.

Disclaimer: Ianne and I have adult conversations about pleasure and sexuality, so if you have sensitive ears about this topic, please listen to it when you're alone.

Listeners we're back this week with an amazing episode. This week we had a conversation with Zulema Arroyo Farley, also known as The Latina Medium.

Zulema is an author, psychic medium, sarcoma survivor, and philanthropist. Zulema was an accomplished senior advertising and marketing executive, known for revitalizing numerous Fortune 500 brands. She is the founder, board chairman, and president of Artz Cure Sarcoma Foundation, a non-profit created with her husband to raise awareness and research funds to find targeted chemotherapy treatment options for sarcoma as none exist in the United States. In 2016, Zulema was named one of People en Español’s 25 Most Powerful Women. In 2018, she surprised the world by confessing a lifelong well-kept secret—she’s a psychic medium. Since then, Zulema serves as the conduit to reconnect people with loved ones that have crossed over. She currently resides in Manhattan with her husband and continues to fight an on-going battle against sarcoma and several chronic autoimmune diseases.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. I truly admire Zulema's resilience and passion for helping others connect with their loved ones that have crossed over.

Listeners, we're back this week with Leah Garza also known as Crystals of Altamira.

Leah is consumed with liberation. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social. As a teacher, and as a student, she saw education as a way to spread liberation. Leah works with students and families living in poverty, in the cycles of incarceration, domestic violence, non-traditional economies. She teaches because she knows that when people who live in dire conditions are given the power to think critically, they can understand that they are not condemned to live the life society has identified for them. They can become power agents and advocates and they become liberated and liberate the people around them. This is the crux, the very heart of education for Leah. With each student, lesson, class, syllabus, mistake, reflection, piece of research, with each day she teaches, she becomes more and more free too.

Crystals of Altamira was born at first to make crystal accessories that people could use to tap into crystal healing. As time passed, and the election of 2016 happened, Leah delved ever deeper into finding her purpose- what is her role as a teacher and how is spirituality involved. The answer has been the evolution of Crystals of Altamira into a house of healing. This is a place designed to help you believe, when you feel like you’re losing faith. Leah believes we can transform society, in fact we are being pushed to do it now. But if we never heal the traumas and wounds that reside in us, we will never find true liberation. Amid the chaos and despair, Leah has confidence in your ability to heal yourself. She believes radical healing is possible because you are powerful, and after all, healing is your birthright.

During our conversation, we talk about her dad, hitting rock bottom, surrendering, and radically accepting who we are. Leah also talks about her work with the Akashic Records and when/how to work with them.

Listeners this week we're back with Dario Guerrero.

Dario Guerrero was brought to this country when he was two years old and like a true bad hombre overstayed his tourist visa. His story first received national attention in September 2014 when he published an essay in the Washington Post titled “I told Harvard I was an undocumented immigrant. They gave me a full scholarship.” Following up on this story, a Telemundo news crew reached out to Dario and found him living in his grandmother’s home, some 3,000 miles away from school in the crime-ridden, massive slums of Nezahualcoyotl just outside Mexico City. Dario’s story again made headlines, this time under the guise of “Harvard student took his dying mom to Mexico, now he’s not allowed to leave.” This is the subject matter of the present film. This is the story of ROCIO. Dario runs a mentoring and boxing class in his hometown of Carson, California.

Dario shares his journey living in the U.S. and finding out he is undocumented. He shares how he made it to Harvard and how he made the desicion do do whatever it took to save his mother like a true warrior.
