Fire Up Your Moxie with Debra Trappen

We also talk about her Feast Day, the story of the Red Egg, and the true story of Mary Magdalene – not the lies passed down for over 1300 years.

Listen in, my friends. It is time to learn what has been hidden from us for millions of hours…

Show Highlights

Mary Magdalene’s Feast Day:

In 2016, Pope Francis bumped this “memorial” into a full feast day of the Catholic church, making St. Mary Magdalene the only woman other than Mary (the Mother of Jesus) to have an actual feast day above memorial level.

In the Catholic religion, she’s the Patron Saint of Women.

Truths About Mary Magdalene

She was a beloved disciple of Jesus

She wrote her very own Gospel. (Check out Karen King’s translation here: https://www.amazon.com/Gospel-Mary-Magdala-Jesus-Apostle/dp/0944344585)

She was present as Jesus took his final breath on the cross

She discovered the empty tomb on Easter

She is known as the “Apostle of the Apostles” Yes – a teacher + missionary of men.

She was portrayed Scripturally to have a primary role over Jesus’ female followers

She is an anchor for the feminine and masculine divine flames

I love thinking about and honoring how brave Mary Magdalene was to be present as her Koinonos (Greek for Companion) Jesus was crucified – when many of the other apostles were hiding to avoid being arrested themselves. 

Now here are some things that St. Mary Magdalene was NOT:

she was not a prostitute

she was not the woman from the Bible that washes Jesus’ feet with her tears and her hair

Did you know?

The portrayal of Mary Magdalene as a prostitute began after a series of Easter sermons delivered in 591 when Pope Gregory I conflated Mary Magdalene, who was introduced in Luke 8:2, with Mary of Bethany (Luke 10:39) and the unnamed “sinful woman” who anointed Jesus’s feet in Luke 7:36–50.

Let me be clear. THE POPE MADE IT UP and this outrageous, misogynistic gossip and horrific LIE was told for over 1300 years. For well over 11 million hours this false narrative was shared. Think about that. When anyone “has concerns” about my questioning and studying the Scripture for myself – I share this story. I also share it when people say “men don’t gossip – only women do”.

Although these things were traditionally associated with Mary Magdalene, the Catholic FINALLY church came forward in the 1960’s saying that there is no reason to believe that Mary Magdalene was either of these other women mentioned in the Bible. One (the “great sinner”) goes unnamed, and it is believed the woman that washes his feet with her tears and dries them with her hair may have been Mary of Bethany, also the sister of Lazarus.

In the 80’s I was still taught that Mary was a whore turned saint… I am sure many of you reading this have never heard the truth until today. It took 1,425 years for the church to truly honor Mary Magdalene in a manner fitting her part of the story and the red threads she connected when she walked this planet.

  May we all wake up and recognize the focus and wisdom of feminist energy. 

  May we all shed the lies spoken over and into us for so many years and proudly celebrate Mary Magdalene as a worthy inspiration.

We also talk about the Story of the Red Egg!

Christian tradition says that when Mary met the Roman emperor Tiberius Caesar at a banquet, she held up a plain egg and told him: “Christ is risen!”. The emperor laughed and told Mary that the idea of Jesus Christ rising from the dead was as unlikely as the egg she held turning red in her hands. But the egg did turn a bright shade of red while Tiberius Caesar was still speaking. That miracle caught the attention of everyone at the banquet, which gave Mary the opportunity to share the Gospel message with everyone there.

Not letting terms like saint or goddess or priestess get in the way of reading and learning about this amazing woman.

Without further ado, here’s Nikki.

Here is an excerpt from the Conclusion of her book, How to be a BADASS:

“Success is not owning multiple properties, collecting degrees from the most prestigious schools, or seasoning your resume with high-powered corporate positions. Those things might help you feel successful, but true success comes when we have maximized every opportunity to love – ourselves, the people we hold dear, and the world we live in. Success comes when we recognize our brilliance, embrace our potential, and confidently stand in our true power.”

1: GRITTY: I do not give up on myself, period. I take meaningful and purposeful action toward my goals and embrace determination to be a person of commitment, persistence, and endurance.

2: BRAVE: I embrace risk. It is in overcoming our fears, great and small, that fills our tank with confidence – and confidence knows no limits. I allow myself to be brave enough to make mistakes, look silly, fail, risk disapproval, or be rejected.

3: AUTHENTIC: My thinking, my values, my words, and my actions are in alignment and consistent. I challenge myself to explore what is important to me, how I want to show up, and how I want to influence those around me.

Running. I took up running in my 40s to help manage stress and unhelpful emotions. Running is one of my favorite ways to unplug and reconnect with my authentic self. Investing in my passion for running refills my #soultank and sets the tone for the amount of time and energy I give to my business, family, and other relationships.

I LOVE the word Moxie – and its sister word, “Grit”.

My book, How to be a BADASS: Navigating Your Road to Self-Mastery is jam-packed with moxie and how to continually develop it.

BRAVE is my word for 2021. It’s the first letter of my BADASS acronym (B=Brave, A=Authentic, D=Direction, A=Action, S=Self-Love, and S=Self Talk) and it’s a requirement for self-development.

Bravery demands action. It accepts risk and proceeds in spite of fear. Fear keeps us limited and stagnant; bravery moves us forward. I am choosing to empower myself and move forward by taking brave steps every day.

YES! My first book, “How to be a BADASS: Navigating Your Road to Self-Mastery” has just been published: https://www.nikkilangman.com/shop (soon to be available from Amazon, but my website is the place to go right now).

I would love to share some of my insights with your listeners, especially around self-leadership and why we must inspire ourselves first before we can inspire others.

Back Cover Blurb:

For over 30 years, Nikki Langman was ensnared in the forceful grip of drug and alcohol addiction. Despite many attempts to regain control of her life, she secretly believed that her destiny was to become a casualty of the disease; her legacy nothing more than a statistic.

Written with candor, humor, and unparalleled authenticity, Nikki gives the reader a powerfully moving and rare insight into the mind of a person struggling with addiction and the destruction that inevitably comes with it.

Equally captivating is Nikki’s inspiring and transformational journey of how she freed herself from her own prison and soared to unimaginable heights by using her BADASS framework and the fundamentals of self-mastery and emotional intelligence.

Brimming with entertaining stories and actionable ideas, this book demonstrates how you can apply the BADASS principles in your personal and professional life every day to:

Engaging and galvanizing, How to be a BADASS is the book you need to remove the obstacles that are blocking your path and give yourself permission to accelerate into your most powerful self.
