In this episode, I have the joy of speaking to the Founder and CEO of HealingWaze, a holistic and alternative medicine platform that helps you connect to verified practitioners, but also serves to help practitioners grow and thrive in their businesses. (https://healingwaze.com/)
In this conversation, we talk about what it takes to start a business, when purpose turns into something different than we ever imagined, and how the lack of teaching about business and money hinders the healers in the field.
There are many ways of thriving in business, but some principles are always the same: time, inner work and community.

In this conversation with business strategist and crisis management advisor Gina Gomez (https://ginagomez.com/) we cover how important it is for us to enjoy this heroic journey that is being an entrepreneur.
We also talk about how at times it's in not fulfilling our dreams that we end up finding our true dream and meaningful work in the world. This is a rich conversation on how much heart, soul and focus it's needed to birth a business, and yet how much wisdom we gain from doing the work and showing up. Clarity comes from doing and showing up.

In this episode, I have the joy and pleasure of talking with Soul Brand Strategist, Online Business Mentor, creator of The Sovereign Oracle, and the Portland Tarot Theresa Pridemore.
We talk about her journey to bringing her gifts into the world and how she helps women entrepreneurs share their work in the world. It's a productive conversation around embracing our pain as the medicine we gift the world. We also touch on the paradox of how it's by getting clear on what are the gifts that we can inhabit the sweet spot between what we desire and what the world needs.
It's a conversation about how it's often in surrendering to our Underworld journey that we find our renewal and clarity.

In this solo episode, I dive into exploring the story of Persephone and the cast of characters of this enduring myth. It's a short review of 2018 as a year of building basecamp and navigating the retrogrades of Mars and Venus.
Weaving an exploration of the story of the abduction of Persephone and examining her mother Demeter and groom Hades, we see that this triad is a reflection of the process we go through in grief and transformation.
The inspiration for this episode is my series of talks on Moon & Goddesses where I explore astrology and myth in light of the theme of archetypes of transformation.

In this episode, I have the joy of talking with Lola Pickett - Identity Alchemist and Transformational Coach.
In this conversation, recorded just before Halloween, we talk about the word WITCH and its meaning now. We also discuss how in reclaiming our identity we have to dig in deeper to also uncover the power inherent in our ancestral heritage.
We talk about the heroic journey of aligning purpose and livelihood also includes coming to the conclusion that we may have climbed up the 'wrong' ladder, and the courage it takes to say 'no' to a perfectly ok life.
We also talked about a few books and resources if you are interested in uncovering more about your ancestors and heritage, especially if your roots are from Europe. Here's a few books that we mentioned:

In this solo episode, I discuss Venus' birth story, her sisters the Furies, plus ways in which we can honor Venus in our lives and why that's important for not just for our lives, but the world.
This inspiration for this episode is from my series Moon & Goddesses - Archetypes of Transformation, a series of live talks that I'm doing here in Portland, Oregon around the New Moon and the myths of goddesses to help us along the way. For this month, I spoke about Venus, her birth story and the ways in which she shows up in our lives, and how we can best honor her.

It all starts with an idea, and then words. The words we speak can invoke magic and elevate our consciousness. In this conversation with Laurel Airica, a communications consultant and the creator of WordMagic Global, a mind-bending, paradigm-shifting re-introduction to the English language, we discuss how purpose, livelihood and the importance of names illuminate our life journeys and how we share our gifts with the world.
