More about Tessie:

"It All Started in Brazil

When I was living in Brazil, I got incredibly sick and had to go home immediately. Despite many hospital visits and tests, doctors couldn't seem to figure out what was causing all of my symptoms. Out of desperation, I started turning to alternative methods (with a very skeptical mindset at first). And they worked! It was the first time in years I'd felt some relief from chronic sickness. 

​I wanted to learn how to identify what was making my body act out, so I started practicing methods that worked for me, soaking up everything I could learn from mentors and philosophers.

What I found to be most effective for my own progress was identifying the energetic patterns that were deeply ingrained in my system. Once I did that, I could make big subconscious shifts that allowed me to break free from old stories and negative frequencies. This, in turn, led to a domino effect of positive physical and emotional changes in my life.

I'm eager to share my practice with you and see what we find together!"

In this episode, we dive into our subconscious to heal our inner child. 

We discuss a vision of a warm, cozy cosmic cabin that holds all of existence within, and discuss childhood trauma that has a lasting impact on us all.

So many of the thought patterns we carry with us as adults were formed in our subconscious minds when we were very young. Inner child work is a powerful tool to revisit our younger selves, to heal them, re-parent them, show them the love and attention they needed at that time. In doing so we can energetically alter the timeline of our lives, strip down the layers of our defenses and conditioning, and help our true selves emerge.

Such a powerful episode and we hope you find as much healing in listening to it as we experienced in recording it.

In this episode we discuss:

• Childhood trauma
• Inner child healing meditations
• Learning to just "be" (presence vs past/future thinking)
• Ego's fear of change
• Akashic records
• Pleiadian starseeds

In this episode, we delve deep into our shadows--the unconscious dark sides of our personalities.

In Mormonism and other orthodox religions, we were taught to cut off and distance ourselves from core parts of our psyche. We were taught to hate those parts, to shame those parts, and to even go to war against them. It's little wonder why we continue to disown or dislike these parts even long after leaving religion behind. 

Instead of projecting our shadow onto the world, can we become aware of it, learn to accept it, or—daresay—even love it?

We hit on a variety of topics such as:

• Jungian definition of the shadow
• Shadow work
• Dream analysis
• The shadow side of Mormons and Mormonism
• Garments
• Our 'go-to 'hymns we sang to try not to masturbate
• Our 'go-to' hymns to repent after we inevitably failed 

Enjoy!

Shelise Ann Sola rejoins the podcast to share the most influential of her ayahuasca experiences....visions, intergalactic travel, shamanic surgery, chontas, aliens stringing skull necklaces...

Y'all, it gets wild! Hope you enjoy.

<0:00> General exmormon banter
<12:10> Intro
<13:58> Shelise's ayahuasca ceremony
<1:09:50> 6-7-8 Breathing / Closing




About Shelise:
“How does one define their worth?” debut author Shelise Ann Sola often asked herself on her relentless journey. She left Mormonism, uncovered sexual abuse then found healing in unconventional ways.

Is worth defined by how many rules one can follow given by a religious figure? Is it determined by how “damaged” one is? Or by how many people one can get to love oneself even if that means being discarded in the end?

Shelise grew up as a Mormon in a small Utah town and something always felt a little off. On her 18th birthday she relocated to Las Vegas where she graduated with a BA in Fashion Design, from the International Academy of Design and Technology after a study abroad in London, England.

In 2011 she followed her dreams to Los Angeles to become an actor and costumer for TV. She had some ridiculous “Reality TV” style hardships but also big successes including acting in commercials for brands such as Barbie & Qdoba, costuming for major tv shows such as Mutt & Stuff on Nick Jr. and gaining over 120k followers on Instagram.

Through ancient ways of healing, including sacred plant medicine, she learned that worth is defined in a much different way. It cannot be given or taken away like most would have us believe. Explored through awareness, healing and intense love, worth is inherently ours to honor and cherish. 

​Shelise’s story reveals how she navigated from a surface level robotic life, to deep into the understanding and exploration of spirituality, love and forgiveness of not only other people, but herself. Join her, and discover how you can also take back your life with new perspectives, journaling, and thought exercises to provoke healing, change and ascension in the upcoming book The Purple Eye.

Dream analysis!

In this episode, we break down the dream that helped birth this podcast--a dream about manifesting art into the waking realm. 

We all have an inner artist that wants to come out. However, when we are stuck in our heads--in a space of self-doubt, fear and unattainable expectations--we interrupt the creative flow. Art is the expression of one's true self and a beautiful way to connect to our inner child. Much like the birthing process, it can be messy, bloody, painful and gross, but simultaneously beautiful, joyous, pleasurable, and liberating. And in the end, when we are holding this new art baby that we have birthed into this reality, we are holding in our hands not only a piece of ourselves, but of something far greater.

Enjoy!
