Get Over It! Podcast

Vera LaRee, author of DAD SCARES ME; GOD SCARES ME: My Journey from Polygamist Cult to Freedom. Vera shares a detailed account of her escape from the polygamist cult.
This memoir is a powerful and gripping account of Vera’s life growing up in a polygamist cult in Mexico and her journey to escape the manipulation and brainwashing she experienced from an early age. Through this memoir, Vera shares her struggles and triumphs as she sought to break free from the oppressive control of her father, husband, and polygamist God. Her story is one of hope, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit.

Vera’s journey did not end with her escape from the cult. Instead, she went on to build a successful business and pursue her passions for psychology, health, and wellness. Vera is now the founder of Purevee Organics, a supplement company for women, and a mentor for individuals looking to break free from their mental bondage and achieve self-love and confidence.


We talk about

• Fundamentalist Mormons
• Life in Mexico
• Having to marry at 16
• The physical and mindset of change
• Leaving everything behind
• Brainwashing and emancipation
• How to change perspective
• Doing a little every day to achieve your goals
• Sexual violation – how to survive

Told from a young age that women were inferior and God was to be feared, she experienced manipulation, brainwashing, and sexual violation. She was married off at the age of sixteen, giving birth to three children and believing that a woman could not get to Heaven without a man. However, when a seed of a single idea she read in a hidden book began to take root, she started to question her beliefs and ultimately escaped to the United States with her three children. Now, as the founder of Purevee Organics, Vera is passionate about empowering women to connect with their mind, body, and soul and break free from mental bondage.
Fast forward to 2002 and we find Vera Laree mustered up the courage and escaped to the United States with her 3 children, a suitcase of clothes, and $500 to her name. From there, she started a successful maid service, now owned by her children. She began devoting her time to the study of psychology and all things spiritual. Connecting with mind, body, and soul became important to her, and it didn’t take long until she developed a passion for health and wellness. She then became the owner of a franchised gym and a small wellness studio, allowing her to teach clients to connect with their bodies by breaking free from their own mental bondage. Eventually, she founded Purevee Organics, a supplement company for women. Vera believes that taking care of your health is a crucial part of your self-love and confidence, hence the company motto: a little self-love in every bottle. Her ability to think outside the box is what led her to her dream career, where she mentors individuals to also think outside the box when it comes to their self-love and confidence. Empowering women is her biggest passion. She holds certifications in Therapeutic Coaching, NLP, Positive Psychology, HNLP, and personal training.

Diego De Oxossi discusses his new book Afro-Brazilian Numerology: Awakening Your Better Self with the wisdom of the Orishas
Chief of Kimbanda and Orishas Priest discusses how Afro-Brazilian numerology and the wisdom of the Orishas can guide us to a fulfilling life.
Offers step-by-step instructions to calculate your Birth Odus and cast your full Orisha Birth ChartPresents detailed interpretations of each of the 16 Birth Odus, showing how their energies manifest in an individual’s personality, relationships, financial status, and general approach to life Shares self-transformation techniques to help you improve the positive qualities of your chart while embracing, integrating, and neutralizing negative energies and tendencies
Much like the celestial influences revealed by a natal astrology chart or the numerology of your birth date, African spiritual traditions believe that every person has specific personal energies ruling how we relate to each other and the way we foresee and achieve life goals. Called the birth Odus, these inner energies influence your choices and decisions throughout life, defining and differentiating you from everyone else–and revealing the best ways to maximize your potential and meet the challenges you face.
Offering a complete guide to discovering, interpreting, and working with your birth Odus, Diego de Oxóssi details step-by-step how to calculate your birth Odus and cast your full Orisha Birth Chart. He explains the Afro-Brazilian concept of numerology and its relationship with the 16 Odus and their related Orishas, the deities of the Afro-Brazilian spiritual tradition. He explores how to determine the influences in the major and minor houses of your Orisha birth chart, including those related to personality and identity, career and success, relationships and love, and challenges and personal evolution.
Presenting case studies from his practice, the author offers detailed interpretations of each of the 16 birth Odus, showing how their energies manifest in an individual’s life. He looks at the positive and negative aspects of each Odu, including how the negative aspects represent the shadow forces that one has to overcome to succeed in life. He offers self-transformation techniques to help you improve the positive qualities of your chart while embracing, integrating, and neutralizing the negative energies and tendencies.Revealing how to better know yourself and understand the spiritual dynamics behind your choices and behaviors, this guide shows you how to work with the energies of the Odus and the strength of the Orishas to improve your communication and relationship skills, overcome life’s challenges, and ensure success and happiness on your life’s path.

Dr. Bruce Scofield shares his new book, The Nature of Astrology: History, Philosophy, and the Science of Self-Organizing Systems.
An in-depth examination of how astrology is a form of systems science exploring how astrology is not only a practice but also a science, Bruce Scofield shares modern biological studies offering evidence that our solar system neighbors profoundly affect and shape life on our planet. He looks at the history, philosophy, and methodologies of astrology and its potential future applications in medicine and the social sciences.
Our ancient ancestors recorded the rhythms of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars, correlating these rhythms with the weather, plant growth, and animal and human behaviors. From these early geocosmic recordings were born calendars, astronomy, and astrology. While astrology is now mostly viewed as subjective fortune-telling, Bruce Scofield argues that astrology is not only a practice but also a science, precisely a form of systems science–a set of techniques for mapping and analyzing self-organizing systems.
Providing clear evidence that our solar system neighbors profoundly affect and shape life on our planet, Scofield shares modern biological and climatological studies on the effects of Earth’s rotation, the Sun, the Moon, and the rhythms of light, gravity, magnetism, and solar radiation on terrestrial processes. Next, he explores the early practice of astrometeorology, a method of weather forecasting used from ancient times into the Renaissance, revealing the links between the solar system, weather, and climate over large spans of time. Finally, he shares his studies on the correlations between Saturn’s position and terrestrial weather, as well as presenting a wealth of evidence on astrological effects and the theories and mechanics behind them.


We talk about

• The methods of astrology

• Observation Science
• Astrology and the stock market
• How humans have disturbed the systems of the Earth
• Weather patterns and planets
• Astrology and the 2024 election
• Kepler
• Ovreview of America’s chart
• Water vapor is a greenhouse gas
• The eight planets
• Pluto
• Eros

Bruce Scofield holds a doctorate in geosciences from the University of Massachusetts, a master’s degree in social sciences from Montclair University, and a degree in history from Rutgers. A member of the National Council for Geocosmic Research and president of the Professional Astrologers Alliance, he is the author of 14 books. He lives in Amherst, Massachusetts.

Dr. Jude Carrivan discusses her latest book, The Story of Gaia: The Big Breath and the Evolutionary Journey of Our Conscious Planet.
Explores how the Universe, our planet, ourselves, and everything in existence has inherent meaning and evolutionary purpose. We are an integral part of Gaia’s evolution. Exploring our emergence as self-aware members of a planetary home and entire Universe that is a unified and innately sentient entity, Jude Currivan, Ph.D., shares leading-edge scientific breakthroughs and shows how they support traditional visions of Earth as a living being: Gaia. She also explores the intelligently informed harmonic interplays of evolution.
Exploring our emergence as self-aware members of a planetary home and entire Universe that is a unified and innately sentient entity, Jude Currivan, Ph.D., shows that mind and consciousness are not what we possess but what we and the whole world fundamentally are. She reveals our Universe as “a great thought of cosmic mind,” manifesting as a cosmic hologram of meaningful in-formation that, vitally, exists to evolve. Sharing scientific breakthroughs, the author details the 13.8 billion-year story of our Universe and Gaia, where everything in existence has inherent meaning and evolutionary purpose. Showing how the Universe was born, not in an implicitly chaotic big bang, but as the first moment of a fine-tuned and ongoing “big breath,” she shares the latest evidence for the innate sentience that has guided our universal journey from simplicity to ever-greater complexity, diversity, and self-awareness–from protons to planets, plants, and people. She explains how evolution is not driven by random occurrences and mutations but by profoundly resonant and harmonic interplays of forces and influences, each intelligently informed and guided.


We talk about

• The big bang did not form Earth. it was a big breath
• Sol, Luna, and Gaia are a triple relationship
• The cosmic breakthrough coming at the end of the year
• Planetary families
• The Soular system
• The illusion of separation is dissolving
• Diversity is coming to the forefront as the way to live
• the 11 million Gaia-sized planets orbiting their central sun

IDr, Jude Carrivan explains, in Gaia, the Universe’s evolutionary impulse is embodied in collaborative relationships and dynamic co-evolutionary partnerships on a planetary scale and as a wholistic gaiasphere. She reveals how the conscious evolution of humanity is an integral part of Gaia’s evolutionary progress and purpose. By perceiving and experiencing our planet as a sentient being and ourselves as Gaians, we open ourselves to a deeply ecological, evolutionary, and, above all, hopeful worldview.
Jude Currivan, Ph.D., is a cosmologist, futurist, planetary healer, author, member of the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, and previously a senior international businesswoman. She has a master’s degree in physics from Oxford University, specializing in quantum physics and cosmology, and a doctorate in archaeology researching ancient cosmologies. She has traveled to over 80 countries, worked with wisdom keepers from many traditions, and is a lifelong researcher into the nature of reality. She is the author of 7 books, latterly the award-winning and best-selling The Cosmic Hologram (2017) and The Story of Gaia (2022), and is co-founder of WholeWorld-View.
