In this powerful follow-up to our Divine Feminine conversation, we explore how surrendering control and embracing softness leads to deeper healing, inner peace, and true spiritual alignment.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why we struggle to trust the Divine Feminine

What if the feelings of being “too much” or “not enough” were never actually yours to carry?

In this episode of Spirited Straight Talk, Deb Sheppard and Dana Nieto Sheppard dive deep into the powerful resurgence of the Divine Feminine energy—an ancient, non-binary frequency of healing, intuition, creation, and emotional intelligence. Whether you're feeling disconnected, stuck in perfectionism, or yearning to live more authentically, this episode will help you understand how reconnecting with your Divine Feminine energy can lead to profound personal and spiritual transformation.

Deb and Dana unpack the emotional suppression many of us have endured and how reconnecting with your emotions—yes, even your rage—is essential for healing. They explore the wisdom of past lives, the legacy of women like Mary Magdalene, and how programs like The Calling are helping women reclaim their voice, power, and sacred service.

This is not about gender. This is about balance. And it’s time to remember who you really are.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: – What the Divine Feminine really is (and isn’t) – Why society disconnects us from our intuition and emotions – How past lives and spiritual lineage affect your healing journey – How to reconnect with your emotions, creativity, and authentic voice – How to raise emotionally empowered children – The role of Mary Magdalene, Gaia, and other sacred feminine energies in this movement

Hi, it’s Deb 💛

This week on Spirited Straight Talk, Dana and I dive into something I’ve been feeling deeply lately—the rising lack of empathy in our world. From politics and religion to schools and personal relationships, empathy seems to be disappearing from the conversation. But without it, how do we truly connect, heal, and grow?

We talk about: ✨ What empathy actually looks like (and what it’s NOT) ✨ Why some people hijack your emotions and can’t hold space for you ✨ How to recognize “empathy imposters” ✨ Why grief, trauma, and even self-growth require empathy ✨ And how to hold compassion without enabling chaos

This is a heartfelt, honest conversation about empathy at every level—from our relationships and healing journeys to what it means for society as a whole. If you’ve ever felt unheard, dismissed, or burned out from caring too much… this episode is for you.

With compassion and clarity, Deb 💛

0:00 – Welcome to Spirited Straight Talk 1:27 – Shocking: empathy being removed from religion and schools 7:58 – Can someone pretend to have empathy? (Spoiler: yes) 14:39 – Left brain vs. right brain: where empathy lives 19:45 – Fixing vs. listening: the empathy trap 28:23 – When people cause suffering because they’re suffering

✅ How to spot “empathy hijacking” in conversations ✅ Why we struggle to give ourselves empathy and grace ✅ What happens when people use empathy as a manipulation tool ✅ How to create healthy emotional boundaries without shutting down ✅ And how to raise emotionally intelligent kids in an empathy-starved world

Hi, it’s Deb, In this episode of Spirited Straight Talk, Dana and I dive into a topic that touches every one of us - unconditional love. I’m talking about the real, raw kind of love that challenges us to heal… even when it hurts.

We talk about how ego sneaks into our relationships and how so many of us end up giving love with strings attached - without even realizing it. I share what I’ve learned over years of teaching and doing deep spiritual work: true unconditional love starts with being authentic to your soul… and letting others love you the only way they know how.

If you’ve ever felt like you give so much and get so little back, or if you’re healing from pain caused by someone you loved, this conversation is for you.

Let’s shift the story together. Let’s heal. Let’s grow.

Timestamps to help you find your moment: 3:08 – Why we’re all here to learn about love 7:14 - The difference between ego love and unconditional love 10:22 - Why we crave validation (and how to stop) 14:13 - Can you love someone who deeply hurt you? 17:48 - Are you loving without conditions, or keeping score? 19:27 - Why your healing begins with changing your story

In this episode, I talk about: ✅ Loving yourself even when others don’t know how ✅ How to break free from ego-driven expectations ✅ Healing from past wounds without needing validation ✅ Why your soul chose these challenges (yes, even that one) ✅ How to see others as souls—especially when they’ve hurt you

With love and truth, Deb

Healing is always possible. Even when the paperwork says otherwise.

Scarcity - Why Do I Always Feel Like There’s Not Enough?

Do you ever feel like you’re running out of time, love, money—or even toilet paper? (Yes, we went there!) In this episode, we’re diving into the very real and very sneaky feeling of scarcity. Whether it shows up as fear about the future, stockpiling stuff, or feeling like you’re not enough, scarcity can quietly run the show in our lives if we don’t get conscious about it.

Dana and I explore where these patterns come from—our past, our families, society—and how to shift out of fear and into gratitude. Because when we rewire our thinking and begin to trust, we make space for abundance, connection, and peace. Let’s talk about how to spot scarcity thinking, how it impacts your spiritual and emotional wellbeing, and how to start feeling like you are enough—exactly as you are.

We’re diving into the truth behind emotional suffering, victim archetypes, mindfulness, boundaries, and how to hold space for yourself and others without losing your energy in the process.
