Home to Her

On the latest episode I'm joined by Rebecca Korn, a former ballerina and pre-med prodigy turned powerhouse wealth strategist. After flipping personal heartbreak into a mission, she now guides women to outplay patriarchal money systems and build seven-figure futures—combining feminine embodiment with iron-clad strategy. Through her company, Rise Reign Rule, her work has already minted five millionaires, with more on the way.

Key takeaways

• The sacred feminine is a powerful force that can guide women in their personal and professional lives.
• Money should be viewed as an exchange of energy, not a source of stress or shame.
• Women often excel at giving but struggle with receiving; it's essential to practice receiving.
• Balancing masculine and feminine energies is crucial for personal empowerment and success.
• The journey of self-discovery often involves embracing both the feminine and masculine aspects of oneself.
• Creating structure in one's life can enhance the flow of feminine energy.
• Emergence is a vital aspect of the feminine; allowing space for creativity and intuition is essential.
• Why we need to stop waiting for permission to take up space or assert our needs.
• The relationship with money can be transformed by viewing it as a tool for empowerment and connection.

On this episode, I'm joined by Rebe Huntman, a memoirist, essayist, dancer, teacher, and poet who writes at the intersections of feminism, world religion and spirituality. For over a decade she directed Chicago’s award-winning Danza Viva Center for World Dance, Art & Music and its dance company, One World Dance Theater. Huntman collaborates with native artists in Cuba and South America, has been featured in Latina Magazine, Chicago Magazine, and the Chicago Tribune, and has appeared on Fox and ABC. She is also the author of a new memoir, My Mother in Havana, about her explorations in seeking not only her human mother, who died when she was 19, but also a deeper relationship with the Divine Mother.

On this episode we discuss:

• How Rebe’s path to the Sacred Feminine revealed itself through her evolving relationship with Latin dance – including how she discovered that the dances themselves were originally invitations to the gods
• Rebe’s transformational journey in Cuba, including her experiences meeting the Orisha Oshun, and Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre
• How Oshun, who originates from the West African Yoruba tradition, and Our Lady, who is considered an apparition of the Virgin Mary, are syncretized – and how this merging can give us a more holistic vision of mothers and women in general
• Rebe’s evolving relationship with her deceased mother, and why it’s both normal and natural to call on our deceased loved ones for support

Notes related to this episode:

• You can learn more about Rebe and her book at her website, www.rebehuntman.com.
• You can also find her on social media: Instagram @rebehuntman; Facebook @rebehuntmanauthor.

On episode 100 of the Home to Her podcast, I'm joined by Ixchel Munay, who has spent more than 20 years walking the path of plant medicine, conscious living and supporting thousands of people around the world in her immersions and sessions to come home to themselves. Through her work, Ixchel draws upon her initiations with yoga, meditation, tantra, shamanism, magic, somatic therapy, dance, breath work, NLP, non-violent communication, permaculture, natural medicine, neuroscience and more. She’s spent nearly the past 20 years of her life based in Bali, the mystical land of her father’s ancestors. For the past four years she’s been spending half the year in Costa Rica devoted to creating Yacumama ("Mother of Water") - a regenerative community land project that hosts transformational experiences.

On this episode we discuss:

• Ixchel's introduction to the Sacred Feminine via her experience meeting Amma, the hugging saint, and her work with a tantric master in Bali
• Her experience with plant medicines and the value they offer us currently, as well as why it's so important to approach them medicine with respect and via a credible teacher
• Why she believes the feminine is the flow state that athletes describe, and how when we step into it, our divine path unfolds much more easily
• The ways women have been disconnected from our bodies, particularly through birth control and medicated childbirth
• Her work with Yacumama, and her vision for it in terms of land regeneration and as a cultural center to preserve and teach indigenous ways of being

Notes related to this episode:

• You can learn all about the upcoming programs at Yacumama here, including an upcoming wellness retreat for women, here: https://www.yacumama.love/ and on Instagram @yacumamaecovillage

On the first episode of 2025, I'm joined by repeat guest Joy Ladin.  Joy is a widely published essayist and poet, literary scholar, and nationally known speaker on transgender issues. From 2003 to 2021, she held the David and Ruth Gotsman Chair in English at Stern College for Women of Yeshiva University.

Her gender transition and return to teaching in 2008 made her the first openly transgender employee of an Orthodox Jewish institution. Joy's experience of being poetically mentored by the Shekinah resulted in the completion of a book length sequence, Shekinah Speaks, published by Selva Obscura in spring 2022, which she joined me to speak about on this podcast in 2023. She's published several other books, including, most recently, a new book of poetry, Family, and Once Out of Nature, selected essays on the transformation of gender. And she is the recipient of the National Jewish Book Award for The Book of Anna.

On this episode, we riff about:

• The concept of family, at both the individual and national levels
• How our personal narratives help us make meaning in our daily lives
• How Joy's understanding of the Shekhinah, the indwelling presence of God typically gendered as female, has shifted since our first conversation in 2023
• The role of gender binaries in helping us relate to divinity
• Joy's perspective on the historical need for a transcendent God, and how both Jesus and the Shekhinah were responses to His limitations
• What the Shekhinah can offer us in this particular moment in time

On the latest episode, I'm joined by Sande Hart, a mother, grandmother and founder of The Global Woman's Village woman's organization, formally known as S.A.R.A.H. (The Spiritual and Religious Alliance for Hope) now in its 23rd year. She is also the Author of The Liminal Odyssey, The Alchemical Power of The Spaces In-Between, (also a Nautilus Book Awardee)

Sande is actively engaged in leadership in the peace, compassion, community building, and women’s re- and in-powerment sectors. Her most recent work is in service to the role of women in this evolutionary impulse we are in during these transitional times. She served on the Women's Task Force for The Parliament of The World's Religions and developed and produced the first-ever Women's Village at the 2023 international conference. She founded and served as Director for the international organization The Charter For Compassion’s Women and Girls sector as creator and director of the 9th sector of the international organization focused on compassion. And she is the Founder of Compassionate California, which recently became established into law by the governor’s office as the first Compassionate State in the world.

During our conversation, we explore:

• Sande's multi-decade journey toward recognizing the presence of the Sacred Feminine in her life, including the flickers of Her presence along the way
• How Sande came to fully recognize Her through her work shepherding the Women's Village at the Parliament of the World's Religions.
• The evolution of her non-profit organization S.A.R.A.H., including her more recent focus on "women who future," and what this language means to her

On the latest episode, I'm joined by legendary systems scientist, futurist and cultural historian Dr. Riane Eisler. Riane is the recipient of many honors, such as the Distinguished Peace Leadership Award earlier given to the Dalai Lama, and is the author of many books, including The Chalice and the Blade, now in its 57th US printing and 27 foreign editions, The Real Wealth of Nations, hailed by Nobel Peace Laureate Desmond Tutu as "a template for the better world we have been so urgently seeking," and Nurturing Our Humanity, Oxford University Press, 2019, co-authored with Douglas P. Fry. 

Riane’s innovative whole-systems research offers new perspectives and practical tools for constructing a less violent, more egalitarian, gender-balanced, and sustainable future. She is the President of the Center for Partnership Systems, which provides practical applications of her work, and Editor in Chief of the online Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies published at the University of Minnesota.

On this episode, we discuss:

• Riane's early childhood experience as a Jewish refugee whose family fled Austria to escape the Nazis, and how that experience, as well as the loss of many family members during the Holocaust, caused her to question her understanding of God
• The difference between cultures of domination and partnership cultures, which she outlines in her groundbreaking work The Chalice and the Blade, and the shifts she's seen in culture since the book was first published
• The subtle pervasiveness of dominator culture, and how we can find it rooted in our language, as well as all the underpinnings of society
• Riane's focus on violence in the home, and how it directly correlates to violence in other aspects of society
• Plus, we riff on the magic of snakes and their ancient connections to the Divine Feminine (always a favorite topic of mine!)
