In this episode, Cynthia dives deep into The Witch Wound — the ancestral and collective trauma that has silenced healers, midwives, intuitives, and mystics for centuries.

Explore the history of how the Divine Feminine was suppressed, how patriarchy labeled wise women as “dangerous,” and how those wounds still show up today as fear, self-doubt, silence, or resistance to your own gifts.

Cynthia also shares her personal story of being rejected for her intuition within her religious community — while men with similar spiritual gifts were celebrated.

You’ll learn:
 • The roots of the Witch Wound
 • How it has affected women (and men) across generations
 • Why reconnecting to your intuition is essential
 • Practical tools to begin healing
 • What it looks like to rise again and reclaim your power

If this episode awakens something inside you, Cynthia invites you to explore this work with her. Through intuitive 1:1 sessions, soul alchemy, mediumship, past-life healing, and Divine Feminine/Masculine integration, she supports you in remembering the sacred truth of who you are.

You’re not meant to do this alone.
 You’re meant to rise.

This episode is for the children, the teens, the mothers, the grandmothers, the sisters, the women — for all whose voices have been silenced, whether they can speak today, are no longer with us, or have never been able to tell their story. Childhood sexual abuse affects millions, and its impact touches lives across generations.

Cynthia is joined by Kari Payne, survivor, healer, and founder of Carried in Love Co., who shares her courageous journey from trauma to empowerment. Kari reveals how she reclaimed her voice, set unshakable boundaries, and discovered radical self-love — all while navigating the long path of healing.

You’ll learn about practical tools Kari uses to regulate emotions, rebuild trust, and nurture wholeness, including somatic breathwork, energy healing, and intentional living. Her story is a testament to hope, resilience, and the possibility of transformation even after profound pain.

💡 In this episode, you’ll discover:

·       How Kari transformed her childhood trauma into healing and purpose

·       Somatic breathwork techniques and simple daily practices to calm the nervous system

·       How to build sustainable habits of self-love, acceptance, and intuitive living

·       The power of clear communication and boundary-setting in reclaiming your life

Take a deep breath, ground yourself, and listen with an open heart. This episode is an invitation to remember your wholeness, honor all who have been silenced, and embrace the hope and healing that are possible for every generation.

In a world that feels fractured, rushed, and heavy with distraction, it’s easy to forget the one thing that has the power to bring us home: love. Not just love as an emotion, but love as a living frequency — a current that heals, liberates, and restores us to wholeness.

This episode is an exploration of that deeper truth. Together, we pause, breathe, and step into the possibility that love is how we bring heaven to earth. Not someday. Not in theory. But here, now, in the way we live, relate, and remember who we are.

Love is not fragile. It is fierce, uncorrupted, and ever present. It moves through our darkest nights, our moments of awakening, and our quiet spaces of surrender. It is the teacher, the healer, and the invitation to return to presence.

In this heartfelt conversation, we explore how love:

Heals the wounds of fear, shame, and trauma that keep us bound

Helps us embody sovereignty and live from a place of wholeness

Acts as an attractor field for vitality, forgiveness, healing, and true abundance

Opens the door to forgiveness, release, and deep freedom

Anchors us in flow, presence, and the remembrance of our divine essence

Every breath we take can be an entry point back into love. Every moment can be a choice to soften, to expand, and to live from the frequency that never corrupts.

This episode is for you if you are healing, searching, expanding, or simply remembering what has always been true: that love is who you are.

Take a deep breath. Open your heart. And journey with us into the healing power of love.

Grief comes in many forms—death, betrayal, illness, broken trust, lost innocence, or the rejection of those we longed to be close to. True healing begins when we stop running from grief and instead meet it with love.

In this episode of Sacred Alchemy: Meeting Grief, Acceptance & Joy, I share my own lived journey with grief and walking through layers of trauma. Along the way, I’ve discovered that grief is not a linear path, but a spiral of transformation—one that can open us to wisdom, acceptance, and even joy.

✨ What you’ll discover in this episode:

• How grief shows up beyond death
• Why the “five stages” are not the full story
• The spiral of grief and the butterfly cocoon as metaphors of transformation
• Somatic, ritual, and research-backed practices to support healing
At the end, I’ll share a free guided meditation, The Tree of Life: The Dance of Grief, Acceptance & Joy, to support you in integrating grief with love and beginning your own sacred alchemy.

🌿 Listen now, and let grief, acceptance, and joy dance together in you.

The Tree of Life:  The Dance of Grief, Acceptance, & Joy 
is a ceremonial meditation is part of a Sacred Alchemy Meditation Series and an invitation to step into your inner Tree of Life—the living temple of your soul. Here, every branch and root mirrors your own being, and within its sanctuary, grief, joy, and acceptance are not separate… they dance together as one. 

You will be guided along a sacred pathway, calling in the Feminine and Masculine energies from all directions, before entering the heart of your Tree to meet grief as a wise teacher, joy as the spark of renewal, and acceptance as the golden weaver who unites them. From this sacred alchemy, you are led into the cocoon of transformation where old shapes dissolve, and you emerge with the unique colors and patterns of your wings.

This is not simply a meditation—it is a rite of passage, a remembrance that your emotions are not burdens to be cast aside but threads in the great tapestry of your being. Here, grief softens into wisdom, joy awakens as a guide, and acceptance embraces it all, returning you to the rhythm of your soul and the heartbeat of Mother Earth.

🦋 Inside the cocoon of your Tree, the alchemy unfolds. Grief softens. Joy awakens. Acceptance embraces. And you… emerge with wings woven from it all.

Step in. Breathe. Allow the dance. 🌿

In this special episode, you’re invited into the sacred container of Sacred, Wild & Free — a live gathering where we explored the cycles of the Earth and the rhythms of the Divine Feminine.

Just as the Earth moves in seasons, so do we. There are times to grow, times to rest, times to release, and times to shine. Yet so often, in the rush of life, we forget…

We push when we should pause.
We hold on when we are meant to let go.
We hide our joy when the world needs it most.

Together with my guest, Jenn, we journeyed into remembrance — that you are the rhythm, that your body holds the wisdom of the seasons, and that you were always made to move with them, not against them.

Through guided meditation, soulful conversation, and shared reflection, this gathering offers tools, rituals, and healing practices to help you reconnect with your body, your intuition, and the sacred cycles of life. Make sure to stay with us until the very end — there’s something special waiting for you.

🌸 Come as you are, lay down what you’ve been carrying, and let yourself be guided home — to the heartbeat of Mother Earth and the sacred rhythm that lives within you. 🌙

-------

Have you ever felt like something in you was breaking—only to later realize, it was actually the beginning of becoming whole?

In this deeply restorative and spirit-led episode, Cynthia is joined by Christ-centered life coach and sacred guide Sunshine Hemmert for a powerful conversation about loss, resurrection, and the art of co-creating with God from a place of divine union.

Together, they explore what it means to move from performance to presence—from survival to soul—and how your greatest unraveling can become the sacred threshold into truth, harmony, and holy creation.

This is not a conversation about striving. It’s a remembering. A returning. A resurrection.

Inside this episode, Cynthia and Sunshine share:
 • How grief and stillness opened the doorway to divine remembrance
 • Sunshine’s 4-step process for Sacred Co-Creation with God
 • What it means to embody both the divine feminine and masculine
 • How global soul-retrieval journeys helped reclaim lost parts of self
 • 7 spiritual tools to support your healing and creation process
 • Why sacred union within is the foundation for wholeness—not hustle

If you’ve ever felt fragmented or forgotten, if you’re yearning to create from a place that feels true, rooted, and real—this episode is for you.

You are not broken.
 You are becoming whole.
 And creation begins now.

Have you ever felt like the ground was falling out from under you — only to realize, much later, that something deeper was being revealed?

In this soulful and expansive episode, Cynthia is joined by spiritual guide and wisdom keeper Michi for a heartfelt conversation about awakening, boundaries, and the quiet, revolutionary power of midlife.

Together, they explore the sacred messiness of transformation — from energy resets and emotional unraveling to reclaiming personal sovereignty and learning to live in true soul-alignment.

This is not a conversation about perfection or productivity. It’s about presence, power, and the deeper truth that sometimes… your darkest night isn’t a breakdown. It’s a breakthrough — an invitation into your next becoming.

Inside this episode, Cynthia and Michi share:
• What it really feels like to walk through a dark night of the soul
• The difference between soul flow and subtle self-abandonment
• Why sacred boundaries are essential for women — especially in midlife
• How to begin listening to nature as a teacher and mirror
• Why midlife isn’t a crisis, but a portal into deeper wisdom and strength
• The tender parts of their own journeys — what they’ve released, reclaimed, and now hold sacred

If you're standing in the in-between — not who you once were, not yet who you're becoming — this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

You are not too late. You are not too much.
You are right on time.
And your soul knows the way.

Have you ever outgrown the spiritual box you were handed—but felt lost when you tried to step outside it?

What happens when the path you were taught to follow no longer leads you home?
 When the rituals, the rules, even the community you once trusted now feel more like cages than connection?

In this honest and expansive episode, Cynthia is joined by Allen Atkinson, an intuitive photographer, breathwork guide, and transformational thinker, for a heartfelt conversation about what it means to reclaim your sacred spirituality after a faith transition. Together, they explore the deep inner shift that begins not with finding new answers—but with finally allowing yourself to ask different questions.

Before Allen could find clarity, peace, or reconnection, he had to walk through seasons of doubt, loss, and disorientation. He had to let go of what once felt certain—and begin listening to the quiet voice within that had been there all along.

In this episode, Cynthia and Allen explore:

·       Letting go of religious structures while honoring the role they played

·       How rituals and symbols can become stepping stones—not destinations

·       Finding new spiritual anchors in values like Kapu Aloha, Pono, and radical self-honesty

·       The healing influence of nature, meditation, plant medicine, and embodied presence

·       And the courage it takes to trust your own evolving identity—even when it no longer fits the mold

This conversation is a lifeline for anyone walking through spiritual deconstruction, identity loss, or the wilderness of doubt. It’s not about rejecting your past—but about reclaiming the truth it was always pointing you toward.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Can I still be spiritual without religion?” or “Is it safe to trust what I feel inside?”—this episode is for you.

You don’t have to go back.
 You don’t have to fit in.
 You get to create a spiritual path that’s true, whole, and uniquely yours.

This is more than healing.
 It’s sacred reclamation.

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough? Or that you have to hold everything together—your image, your faith, your family—while silently falling apart inside? What if that pressure to be “perfect” isn’t just personal, but cultural, generational, and deeply spiritual?

In this raw and sacred episode, Cynthia is joined by  Corrine Christian for a deeply honest conversation about perfectionism, performance, and the freedom found in letting go. Together, they share their personal journeys through shame, spiritual exhaustion, people-pleasing, and the quiet unraveling that began when they finally asked, “What if I don’t have to do it all?”

Before authenticity or peace were even on the horizon, both Cynthia and Corrine lived under heavy expectations—as mothers, women of faith, and leaders who were told that “getting it right” was the most important thing. What they discovered on the other side wasn’t failure—but freedom. In this episode, they explore:

• The cost of hustling for worth—and the quiet grief beneath it
• How perfectionism is often a trauma response in disguise
• The impact of religious pressure and identity loss on women
• The healing power of naming your breaking point—and choosing presence over performance
• What it looks like to come home to your whole, imperfect self

This conversation is an invitation to breathe deeper, release the masks, and find rest in the truth that wholeness was never about doing—it was always about being. It’s not just about self-help; it’s about sacred reclamation.

If you’ve ever whispered, “I can’t keep doing this,” or feared that taking off the mask might make you unlovable—this episode is for you. You’re not too much. You’re not broken. And you’re not alone.

Explicit Content.  Viewer Discretion Advised.

Women’s Edition: In today's episode we are continuing our transformative 3-part series on sacred sexuality and embodiment.

In Part 2: Reclaiming the Body – Healing Shame, Embracing Pleasure, and Integrating the Divine Feminine, we build upon the powerful groundwork laid in Part 1 (Pulling the Roots of Fear and Shame). If you haven’t yet listened to that episode, I encourage you to start there before diving into this next layer of the journey.

I’m joined once again by Diana, a sensual embodiment guide, as we explore the profound and often overlooked relationship between body and soul. In this conversation, we go beyond surface-level healing to examine how shame is stored somatically—living in the tissues, especially within the lower chakras—and how reclaiming our sexuality begins by honoring the sacred vessel we inhabit.

We explore the body as an antenna—a wise, intuitive guide that carries the imprints of emotion, trauma, pleasure, and healing. Together, we shine light on how cultural and generational conditioning causes disconnection from our most sacred, sensual selves—and how working with the Divine Feminine, especially her shadow aspects, helps us reclaim what we’ve hidden away: our scars, our softness, our raw power.

You’ll hear stories, insights, and tools to support you in:

Releasing internalized shame from the body

Embracing pleasure as your birthright

Reconnecting to your sensual truth without guilt or fear

Seeing your body as sacred, whole, and divinely designed

This episode is a gentle but powerful invitation to stop abandoning your body and begin relating to it as your divine partner in healing. It’s time to reclaim your pleasure, soften into compassion, and fully embody the truth:
Your body is not something to be overcome—it is something to come home to.
