  • THE PASSAGE OF: Worthiness with Branden Collinsworth

    From the streets to the skies, this deep dive is brought to you by a Heart Warrior, Soul Brother and Devoted Humxn sharing the wisdom that with a deep connection to our inherent worth, and truth we are fertile soil for our highest potential to bloom.

    The golden drops in this one have been integrating and evolving ever since this deep dive –  It is my prayer that as you lean into this time of winter and get present to what you are feeling called to create and rebirth into in your life, that you do so, KNOWING that you ARE inherently everything that you need. 

    With this knowing you will inevitably begin to dance with the unknown, embrace all that lives within you, and bring it to life in the most aligned and empowering way. 

    “ Sometimes the fear of the unknown is not fear of discovering something you were not expecting, but rather - discovering a truth you’ve denied yourself of "  - Paola Ucelo 

    May this passage be a source of activation, insight, and empowerment as you continue to walk the passages of life.  

    Inside this passage we walk through: 

    • The passage of becoming a leader
    • Journeying into the jungle of our own soul to and sharing the cultivated strengths and power of heart with others.
    • TRUTH is the only thing needed to unlock our highest potential.
    • The power of love, releasing judgment, self mastery, leadership and the inherent worthiness that lives as YOU. 
    •  

      And so much more.

       

      Ready?

      Let's a deep breath

      And dive in.

       

      With all my Love, 

      Paola

    • THE PASSAGE OF: Befriending Fear with Paola Ucelo

      Welcome to Season Two! In this PASSAGE Paola sets the foundation for this new season. 

      As you walk through this path of living and breathing your truth. 

      The path of being a clear vessel to bring your visions to life, and meet the fullness and passages of life – it is not about getting rid of fear. 

      It’s about choosing to see it differently. 

      What if we saw it as a gatekeeper? 

      A reflection and beloved friend that meets you at each new level and phase, asking you to show them, this new level, yourself that there is no fear bigger than your heart, than your love, your mission and devotion. 

      Fear will come, 

      Doubt, uncertainty, will come. 

      All to see how committed you truly are. 

      In this episode we are diving into: 

      The when, the how, the raw and real of the moment I decided to pull up a chair for fear of having a seat at the table, and how it transformed before my eyes. 

      How fear transformed from being an accumulation of past memories and projections into one of my greatest guides. 

      And so much more. 

      Ready? 

      Take a deep breath and let’s dive in.

          This one is for the wild ones!

            THE PASSAGE OF: Full Spectrum Liberation with Aimee Batuski

            One of the constant themes I see in each passage walked is that there is a new level of liberation that is lived and felt in each one -- Haven’t you noticed?

            Each passage truly shapes and prepares us for what’s to come and, in turn, makes us stronger and equipped to receive the blessings and wisdom on the other side.

            In this episode, I am honored to share a special passage that delves into multiple aspects of what it looks like to set ourselves free, each time a little more.

            In this Passage we dive deep with an incredible womxn, leader, sister, guide, and so much more, Aimee Batuski. I previously shared my story of liberation with her on her podcast, and I knew I had to have her come and share her passage with us.

            Here's a peak on what we dive deep on:

            • Claiming liberation and deeply rooted love through the experience of heartbreak
            • From avoiding the “messy” parts of healing and transformation to it becoming a source of liberation and empowerment.
            • Setting herself free in spaces and emotions she felt needed to be hidden and oppressed to owning them as her feminine power and amplifying intimacy in her relationships.
            • Discovering the gifts of being “ down” such as a new level of processing emotions. Awakening new tools, accessing a new level of power and the ability to be vulnerable and ask for help. And so much more!
            • May the wisdom and truth shared on this be a source of awareness, liberation and empowerment in your path.
