The Ethical Evolution Podcast

My next guest requested to be on the show and in reflection there is no coincidence here that we were destined to meet.

The Rev. Dr Marcia Ledford is a practical theologian and Episcopal priest, native to Detroit, Michigan. She worked as a civil rights attorney for over 30 years prior to her ordination. She encourages progressive Christians to exercise their First Amendment guarantees, calling for a more compassionate approach to our social crises in discrimination, exploitation and equality. Marcia also fought for the civil rights of those in the LGBTIQ community as an openly lesbian woman. I found my time with Marcia fascinating and learned we had so much in common as we both are on a mission for change.

When I found my next guest, my curiosity got the better of me and I just had to speak to her. 

Melissa Lyon West spent the first 30 years of her life in a cult - this alone led my mind racing to a million questions. Since she left, she has become a coach helping women to find hope in the darkness by leaving fear, shame and guilt behind by finding their voice and creating a life they love waking up to.

During our conversation, it became clear to me that Melissa and I had so much in common and my key takeaways were the concept of borrowing courage and feeling the fear and doing it anyway. The reverberating message of not being enough was another that stuck with me and is something we all need to heal. I hope you get as much as I did out of this time with Melissa and the impact she is making.

When I stumbled across my next guest in a list of potential guests it was a no-brainer that we definitely needed to talk as our missions aligned. The more I learned about this exceptional human, the more curious and in awe I became.

Jeff Garner describes himself as a romantic visual artist, pioneer and unconventional designer of his sustainable label Prophetik. Apart from unapologetically being a mad scientist of fashion in a way that is kind to humans and the planet, his list of achievements are as breathtaking as his work. He has been named one of the top 40 artists in the US and his works were placed permanently in the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery for the 40 under 40 exhibition. He is also an Emmy award winner for his documentary on sustainable fashion called Remastered. As a prominent ethical voice in the fashion industry, Jeff dresses many artists such as Sheryl Crow, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Kings of Leon just to name a few. Born and raised in the Civil War town of Franklin, Tennessee on a horse farm, Jeff has a deep connectedness with nature.

After spending time with Jeff direct from his cabin in Malibu, it became clear to me that his is a voice that needs to be heard and his pioneer spirit needs to be shared. I hope you enjoy getting to know Jeff as much as I did.

My next guest was recommended by another guest and through the connection of friends we have almost come full circle. When we met it was like a waterfall of curious energy where the more we spoke, the deeper the connection and understanding was.

Jaime Fleres is a Shamanic Astrologer, Soul Guide and a Sound Healer. She is also an author and teaches workshops in expressive writing. Jaime doesn’t do things in halves and also has a background as a birthing Doula and wrote the book - Your Birth Story. In our conversation I learnt so much about Shamanic Astrology and how it differs from traditional Astrology, Sacred Reciprocity, Archetypes and so much more in the spiritual arts realm. Jaime also shares some tips for going into 2021 with a renewed mindset and energy.

I truly enjoyed my time with Jaime and I hope our conversation opens your mind to other dimensions and connection with yourself.

I stumbled across my next guest in a Facebook post and knew that I simply had to speak with him. We leapt at the opportunity and found ourselves in what I know wasthe most beautiful hour of that day.

Daniel Bruce Levin walked away from an opportunity to run a billion dollar business, to hitchhike around the world to find happiness and inner peace. He studied in a seminary five years and left one day before becoming a Rabbi and he has lived as a Monk in a monastery for 10 years. As Director of Business Development, he grew Hay House from $3 million a year in sales to $100 million a year in revenue.

Danny is a visionary and the author of the life changing fable - The Mosaic - his thinking is so profound that it became clear our missions aligned. He made me see that we are all part of the mosaic that is life - imperfect, imprecise yet fits together perfectly as one. I hope you enjoy meeting Danny and hearing how he changes the world.

My next guest was recommended to me by another guest and I am beyond grateful for this connection. When I checked out who she was and what she did and sensed her energy, I knew this was going to be a conversation that we were both looking forward to.

Sarah Bryanne Grady is a holistic birth and postpartum doula, a former psychotherapist, yogi and theatre artist. Based in North Carolina, Sarah has started her 7 Sacraments of the Goddess workshops that came to her through Mary Magdalene. The sacraments are all about women returning to their inherent worth and releasing the core wounds of patriarchy that prevent us from living our fullest lives. Each Sacrament is a rite of passage explored through embodied techniques, drawing upon the breath, dance, yoga, and even therapeutic theatre tools.  Working in an embodied way allows the concepts of each sacrament to be metabolized in your system so they become grounded into your physical and practical lives.

The energy in this conversation was truly electric despite the distance between us and we are both now glad to have met another soul sister. Enjoy this deep yet high energy exploration of women as Queens and Goddesses.

I came across my next guest on Instagram at a time that I really needed her to show up and the series of events that followed from that moment were all thanks to the divine guidance of the universe. When I reached out to her to let her know how her message had reached me as intended, she agreed to be a guest which thrilled me. When she sent me her mini documentary on Youtube, I cried from beginning to end and knew again that we were both exactly where we were meant to be.

Neda Boin is a heart touching singer and songwriter, voice liberator, A Course in Miracles teacher and one amazing human being. Based in The Netherlands, she has been a contestant on The Voice in Holland, making it to the final 8 and has since written an album channelled through spirit based on A Course in Miracles called The Light Has Come. She shares the universal language and power of music through giving songwriting workshops in juvenile prisons in Holland and the USA. Through teaching A Course in Miracles to inmates she has seen those prisoners find their freedom while still being imprisoned.

This is a truly special episode which I hope you enjoy - make sure you stick around to the very end where Neda performs her title track The Light Has Come and I am moved to tears.
