For the end of the year, Anne and Allie sum up what 2019 has been for them and top it off by exploring the theme of Gratitude as a proper cap the decade. Allie ends with a quick overview of the major astrological moments arriving very early in 2020 (more about the epic alignments will come in the New Year ✨).

Anne & Allie review how channeling the erotic as a way of functioning and living deeply has unfolded for them. Shedding layers and starting to see in more ways (and more of what’s unseen) results.

Inspired by Audre Lorde, Anne and Allie examine a broader and suppressed meaning of erotic as a source of feminine power. A term that’s been perverted to be pornographic (sensation without feeling) rather than an intense drive that taps both sensation and feeling that compels one to break boundaries generate magnetism.

Early autumn is a season not only for turning inward and becoming more still and receptive, but for recognizing that things are shedding. Allowing grief to be felt can be both a relief and painful. Things mean more as we enter the darker half of the year—it's poetic, romantic, melancholy, and lovely. Anne and Allie do a deep dive in a long conversation spanning receptivity, grief, and the aspect of the feminine movement that's still straggling behind: yin ways of being.

A shift in season to the dark half of the year confronts us with slowing down, letting go, and finding a more equal balance in how we give and receive. Anne and Allie talk about the yin principle, what it feels like to be present in a slower pace, and the grief, yet potency, that can surface.

How is the mundane beautiful to you? How do you distill a sense of purpose in your life due to your daily rhythms, rituals, and processes? Tap into your feminine side to instill pleasure and joy in your life through cultivating sacredness in your day-to-day. Anne and Allie share how they are currently honoring and freshening up this aspect of their lives.

After exploring ‘The Resilient Heart' in their previous episode, Anne and Allie return with observations on new experiences around this theme. It's a season of doors opening and cycles of beginnings that tends to bring resiliency to the surface, but there's still a call for pause, choice, and integrity when things are exciting and fresh.

After months of wading through the misty waters of chaos, Anne and Allie find new rebirth points and explore the resilience that tends to follow.

In this episode, Anne and Allie revisit the theme of last week's theme, Chaos, as it entered and tested their lives in the weeks since launching Ionaa.co. They visit subjects of how they're dancing in chaos, navigating its uncertain waves. A natural fork into the archetypes of Shakti and Shiva and the relationship to witness, witnessed, dancing, and reflecting authority.

In our first episode of IONAA podcast, Anne and Allie open up questions and thought around chaos as an important part of life and the ending/beginning aspect of cycles.
