If you’ve been raised in the Catholic church, or even if you went to Catholic school, this episode is for you:

Join our “Modern Day David”, Margaret Mary O’Connor, and I as she shares:

• The history of women in power within the Catholic Church that has long been ignored and who the first woman priest was
• How she came to realize the inequality that existed amongst sexes in the Catholic Church
• Why now is the best time for there to be a shift towards women as priests
• How we can use our collective voice to nudge such a shift
• And the far reaches such a shift would have in all aspects of our lives.

Margaret Mary O'Connor has a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Buffalo, and a Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry, from Christ The King Seminary in East Aurora, NY, she is a former Chaplain and currently is a Eucharistic Minister. She literally walks the walk, on picket lines to help keep the issues of Women's Ordination and Church Accountability on the Priest Sexual Abuse Issue, at the forefront of any Catholic's attention, she believes any Catholic, deserves at minimal at least the truth from Rome, as opposed to the continual out right deception they are receiving. She also is a member of Call to Action, Future Church, Roman Catholic Women Priests, Women's Ordination Conference, and SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests). Buffalo Central Terminal, Preservation Buffalo Niagara, Western NY Land Conservancy. Margaret Mary is the recipient of the Special Award for Achievement from the Dale Carnegie Public Speaking Course. She also enjoys Gardening, Pilates, and Reading Mystery Books.

And be sure to read her book, “Scandal In the Shadows: The Original Priest- Mother Mary to put the fire in your soul to bring the change we’ve been seeking.

About your host

Mom, entrepreneur, Physician Assistant, intuitive; Angelica is a multi-passionate with her biggest motivator being changing this world with her God-given gifts by raising the emotional intelligence and self-awareness of our collective.

Priding herself in being the perfect blend of science and spirit, she loves that she is able to read and pick apart scientific articles AND see spirits on the staircase moments later. She felt so powerful having welcomed her son at home a year to the day she first heard her son’s soul call to Earth AND used evidence-based care throughout her pregnancy. Angelica has found her voice in both worlds and is profoundly grateful to be a steward weaving these worlds together.

Her offerings are meant to bring out, as cliche as it sounds, the most authentic version of you, before fear and generational trauma changed your inner- most essence. Whether it by learning the why in an Akashic Record Reading, the how in FEMboldened, or by receiving long-lasting transformation with her signature Hydropathic Attunements, Angelica is here to meet you where you are at and be your travel guide to who...

We are all holding tension but have you ever considered just how much tension you hold? Or the long term effects that tension could be having on your health, overall well-being, and future? If your ears are perked and your body wants to learn more, tune in to this episode with spiritual teacher, speaker, and author, Ann Hince as we chat about:

• How her habit of being emotionally reactionary and her state of fear was directly linked to her vast collection of traumas from childhood and adolescence
• The 3 step process she flowed through to release tension stored in her connective tissue to shift her skull and spine alignment
• How feeling your feelings not only brings inner peace but can shift the energy of the collective
• And how all of this is available to you right NOW

Ann is a spiritual teacher, speaker, and author on a mission to change the world from the inside out. When Ann was 19, she woke one morning to find her mother dead in her bathroom.

Twenty years later the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface. Ann found a simple technique that helped her release these emotions - but she went further and can now put her awareness inside her body - and has changed the bone structure of her skull and grown ½ an inch at age 55. Ann has found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace. Ann is here to share that we have this incredible power within us.

I’m really so excited to share this episode with my friend, coach, and womb-activator, Ann Marie Paul. Listen in if you want to hear all about:

• Who and what doulas are, the power of pregnancy & birth, and why you want support during your own pregnancy & birth
• The untapped power of many women & why womb activation is essential for claiming back that power
• What is a yoni egg and how do you use one?
• How tapping into our wombs personally catalyzed the healing of our own traumas but also opened the doors to our creativity, potential, and power as women

AND SOUL MUCH More!

She is a women’s embodiment mentor, intuitive, tantrica and womb alchemist.
