Magik Vibes

Carolyn Barron has been on the podcast multiple times—and for good reason! She serves up quarterly chi magic. There’s so much massive change, upheaval, and unpredictability, but we need to look at a broader view of the world; we need to look at it in relationship to nature and our inner selves. She talks about the season of fire, tapping into our inner constitution, stabilizing our fire energy, and the dangers of our foundational myths.

Sahara Rose is a leading voice guiding millennials into a new paradigm shift. She has built up a community called Rose Gold Goddesses, and her mission is to make spirituality modern and relatable. In her life — as in mine — dancing has been the greatest healing modality, especially this year. With everything we are facing, the world is inviting us to make our living room our dance floor. She dives deep not only into movement but also how we can connect to our doshas and the energy of purpose — not the purpose that our resume says we have or how we communicate, but this energetic, unique purpose that lives within each of us.

I’m so thrilled to have Kristine Fredheim on the show, a psychic, intuitive, and medium. As a child, Kristine knew that she was different. She was scared at first and shut herself off from her abilities and intuition. Eventually, she got fed up with keeping it to herself and embraced that side of her. If you’ve ever felt you may have certain connections or intuition, we dive deep into what that cognitive dissonance is like. We also talk about boundaries and everything that’s connected to the intuitive abilities that each of us possesses.

Rose Theodora is returning to the show and we have *so many* things to discuss. We are in the throes of the summer Mercury retrograde. We have seen the most intense changes in our lives — both as individuals and as a collective — since Rose was last on the show, and she is going to catch us up on where we are at with astrology, what we all need to be aware of as we move into Mercury retrograde, and what that means for the world ahead.

I’m so honored to speak with Maleata Ragin. She’s a wonderful reiki teacher out of Philadelphia, and she is doing out-of-this-world work in our community. We are facing so much in our world today regarding racial inequality, and the wellness community has a lot of work to do. Just like we, as individuals, have to do inner work on our own healing journey or else it builds up and explodes, the same can we said for the work we have to do as a community to do something about the collective pressure that has built up. Maleata shares her story of how she got into healing work, her interest in herbal healing, and connecting with each other as human beings.

As a bonus, she left us with a great herbal tincture recipe:

Mercury Rx Rescue Infused Oil

What you’ll need:

• Red clover (dried)
• Lavender (dried)
• Mint (dried)
• Carrier oil (Grapeseed, EVOO etc.)
• Cheesecloth 
• Jar, bottle or other spill-proof container

Combine a handful of each herb into a pot and fully cover with your carrier oil.

Let it simmer on low for 45 min. to an hour, stirring occasionally. Keep an eye on it to make sure herbs don’t burn. Once done infusing the oil, allow to cool. 

Strain out the herbs using the cheesecloth. Bottle your oil and apply to your temples or body as needed to help ease the effects of Mercury Rx. For an extra boost, I like to charge my oil with Reiki.

Over the years, I’ve worked with several people who have experienced significant growth. As I reflect back on where they began, I am astounded by the progress they have made. I also realize that many of them are still striving for more growth. When do we reach a point where we’ve grown enough, though? As we start to integrate back into the world from this journey of isolation, will we ever sit down and let ourselves be satisfied with being? Striving for improvement is a great thing, but we need to decide whether that striving is helping us or hurting us in the moment. Slow down, explore the now, and create some really beautiful space. 

If not now, when?

This week, I have invited four friends of mine who I love and adore to share their own unique experience in this COVID-19 journey. Every one of us, as humans who are creating and doing and giving, is having a unique experience, and I wanted to highlight those different experiences to help you get out of whatever bubble you may be (unintentionally) living in. I hope this provides you with a different perspective on what is going on across the country and what you can do to help.

I can speak from experience here: Launching a book in the midst of a pandemic is pretty weird. Someone else who knows just what that’s like is Jen Gotch, the founder of ban.do and author of The Upside Of Being Down, which launched just a few weeks ago and became an instant New York Times best-seller. The subject matter of the book ended up being even more relevant than she had hoped. We talk about the process of writing the book and what her history of navigating depression has been like.

------------------

Jen Gotch is genetically predisposed to optimism. She's a visionary, a creative powerhouse and an advocate for mental health and emotional well-being, and a New York Times best-selling author.
