  • Breaking Conditioning

    We’re breaking through the bulls**t of societal conditioning and grounding into our soul truths.

    Whitney posted a tiktok video about her former relationship break up and people freaked out about it on the internet! Using that as our stepping off point we touch on some of the societal conditioning keeping us small - from high school bullying, to internet trolls, breaking out of relationships and stepping into your fullness.

  • Stepping into the Unknown

    Another flow of consciousness conversation between Ariel and Whitney, guided by their oracle card pulls around Imrama - a journey of the soul, where we don't know where we are going, but the soul knows the way. We also discuss the theme of Coddiwomple which is the act of traveling in a direction you’re being pulled but with unknown destination. Something Ariel and Whitney have embraced throughout their spiritual journeys. And the ever important aspect of feeling your feelings and letting them flow!

  • Upgrading to Modern Soulful Relationships

    We take a modern look at creating and honoring soulful relationships. 

    As we continuously move to break through antiquated patriarchal suppression in all aspects of our life and societal systems, today we explore what that looks like in terms of relationships. What does it mean and look like to honor soul contracts over legal contracts? As we continue to grow, expand and develop as soulful beings along our messy paths, what affect does that have on our partner relationships, friendships, partnerships, family orientations? How does that affect dating, breaking up, getting married, separating, breaking up, divorcing, conscious uncoupling? This episode is full of aha moments and breakthroughs for navigating the constant growth and journey of upgrading into modern soulful relationships.


    Ariel and Whitney will also be hosting another free drop-in womxn's circle on February 11th, coinciding with the new moon. You are welcome to join us - follow our IG and Facebook announcements for link to join.


    If you are enjoying and resonating with our podcast, we invite you to join the March session of the Messy Path Course. We'll lead you through a collective journey of centering in your mess, releasing old stories, connecting back to yourself, and making a commitment to uplevel into your Higher Self!

  • Understanding your Soul Potential: Exploring North & South Nodes

    Astrology is a great tool for understanding and connecting further with yourself. Today, Ariel and Whitney take a hobbyist's journey explaining the North and South Nodes in your natal chart and what information can be gathered there. Essentially, your South Node represents your soul's past, the lessons you need to learn and grow through, the things that may feel comfortable or familiar to you... until you are ready to transition or uplevel into your soul's potential - your North Node. This episode is a fun exploration where Ariel leads Whitney through some reflective exercises and shares about her own journey through the nodes as well!


    Let us know how this resonates with you! What struck you from our conversation? Are you familiar with you north and south nodes? What insights or ahas have you discovered about yourself? Where have you felt resistance? 


    The book Ariel references in the episode is: Discovering your Soul Mission by Linda Brady.

  • What are you really calling in?
    What are you really calling in from the Universe? This week, Ariel and Whitney uncover the light side of unintended manifestations, aka find the good part of the bad things that happen. We recorded this episode right after Thanksgiving when Ariel was a week into having Covid. Throughout the immense changes from the pandemic and other unexpected life events like getting covid, being fired, losing hours or pay cuts at work, break-ups, we look for the deeper meaning, message, and identify why we asked for this or what the benefit was. Often in life, we are not always privy to these types of answers, but doing inner work and having that observer mindset, help us find peace, guidance, and insight. Hopefully this episode will bring some light into your dark moments as well.

  • Boundaries

    Positive space boundaries are often one of the most difficult aspects of our lives to set and maintain. With the rise of political tensions surrounding the Trump/Biden presidential race, cultural protests, the pandemic, and all of it being shared through social media, the need for healthy boundaries in our lives seems more pressing than ever. We talk about the importance and value of boundaries in your life. We discuss how to navigate political discussions and social media commentary, speaking and acting from your authenticity in sexual situations, navigating familial and partner relationships, how to establish and uphold emotional and energetic boundaries, and provide tips and suggestions from our own experiences.


    Whitney shares a great boundary reframing metaphor that boundaries are like guardrails to help guide and protect you along your journey.

    Ariel's reframe is from feeling like the hidden inner child, to the strong queen with an open heart.

    We also share a number of reflective questions to help process emotional boundary setting.


    We are also hosting a free virtual womxn's circle Thursday, January 21st at 8pm eastern time.  We are currently pushing back the start of our more structured Messy Path Course. This is what is flowing forward as the best way to support you right now. Follow either of us on instagram or facebook for more information on future circles as well.

  • Triggers & Growth (Holiday Recap)
    This week’s podcast is DEEP.
    Ariel and Whitney both had some big changes and shifts happen over the holidays and we’re sharing our messy journeys over the past couple of weeks. We discuss the integration of merging your soul, feeling triggered by family, partners, and upper limiting beliefs, challenging old habits, shedding our past selves, and stepping forward and deeper into personal growth. 
    Content Warning: Suicidal thoughts.
    NOTE: If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, PLEASE reach out to someone - a therapist, mental health provider, suicide prevention hotline (National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 800-273-8255 - pretty sure you can text them, you don't even have to "talk" about it)... message one of us, a friend. You are worthy of being here. You are worthy of living a beautiful life. You are worthy of feeling good. It is available to you. 
    We're also postponing the January session of the Messy Path Course possibly to March. Things are far too messy right now. So we are hosting drop-in womxn's circles instead. See our websites for more information and follow us on Instagram:

  • Fun Manifestations

    Happy Christmas week! We want to celebrate this transition into the new year by keeping things light-hearted and reflecting on some of our favorite fun manifestations! As growth seeking beings, we're always manifesting desires, but some come with much less resistance than others. This episode is all about some of our fun big manifestations!  They involve homes, cars, trips, and time travel! You'll see! We also discuss what we're manifesting for 2021. 

    We'd love to hear about your fun manifestations or  what you're intentions or manifestations are for 2021! Send us a message!


    The January session of our Messy Path Course starts 01-12-21! 

    What happens in the Messy Path Course?

    During the Messy path you take one major thing in your life that you’re looking to learn a lesson from, change or manage and we dive deep into it.

    When you sign up you’ll get a note from Ariel and I asking you to rate how you’re feeling about all the different aspects of your life and take some time to think about exactly what part of your life you’d like to focus on for the next month.

    Then we dive into 4 weeks of focusing on just that.

    You have the support of TWO coaches during this whole journey as you learn:

    -How to not identify as the mess in your life

    -How to reframe the stories you’ve been telling yourself

    -How to get more in touch with your whole self, sex and all!

    -And finally - you’ll recommit to your relationship with yourself as you move forward.

    Each week we meet 2 times the first is to discuss that week’s topic and hear from Ariel and Whitney about how this has shown up in our lives and the second session is all about you sharing where you are and what came up when answering the workbook prompts for that week.

    We seriously cannot wait to hold this space for you!

    Links below to sign up, grab your space!!


    In response of major messages from the Universe to Whitney and Ariel regarding slowing down (re: ep 13), we are taking a break from the podcast for the holidays and in January while we are hosting the Messy Path Course. You can stay in touch with us through our instagrams and reaching out at any time - and hopefully - joining us in the course!

  • Processing Our Relationships

    In this vulnerable episode, we hit record on a conversation processing current challenges in our relationships. We share how we've been been processing our romantic relationships this year, the challenges that have come up and how we have processed and are processing through them, what it means to be doing the work for other people as an Intuitive Relationship Coach and Rapid Transformational Therapist and how that affects our process. We go deep into sharing insight from our personal healing sessions and how we're processing through that. This episode is really a reflection on our growth and insights from the past three episodes relating to romantic relationships, personal, spiritual, and career developments. 

    Let us know what about our stories are resonating with you! Where you are facing challenges or growth in your romantic, personal, spiritual, or career lives right now? Send either of us an email, DM, comment wherever you are seeing the episode.

  • Flowing with your Energy

    Throughout our life, seasons of change, energy cycles, transitions - physical and energetic, menstrual cycles, moon cycles, healing cycles, all of these times of our lives carry different energies and request from us different energy levels. In this episode, we discuss the importance of flowing with your energy through those cycles. Reminding you, as we remind ourselves, that we're not always in the hustle/ absorption / crisis healing / growth mode but valuing the times of rest and integration that our body, lives, and energy needs.  Flowing with your energy is a way of honoring and valuing our energetic cycles.

    What do you notice about the ebbs and flows of your energy? What practices or tools do you enjoy at different phases of your energy? Let us know!

    Big news! If you enjoy our podcast, you'd probably enjoy working with us too! Registration for the January session of the Messy Path Course is now open! Dates and information can be found in our websites. Please message us with any questions - we look forward to you joining us!
