The Madelyn Moon Show

Episode 326: Ready to burn the dating checklist? Madelyn's program, The Sisu Society, is full of content and interaction beyond the podcast episodes. This special episode of the podcast is from a Facebook Live in the private Sisu Society group. Inspired by the recent episode featuring Eva Clay, Madelyn candidly discusses some of her dating history and experiences, how it is we make the wrong kinds of "lists" when seeking dating partners, and how to burn the dating checklist and teach ourselves to be open to loving anyone.

Episode 325: Amanda Katherine Loy (she/her) — also known on Instagram as that Bisexual Body Positive BRCA babe — is on a mission to help you face your fears, speak your truth and get you one step closer to living your f*ck yes life. She this does in multiple facets, through her work as an actor, a body confidence & mindset coach, podcast host, writer and speaker. Amanda Katherine Loy has a long history of operating solely from a place of shoulds — unconsciously dimming her light and keeping herself small in hopes that it would keep her safe, seen and accepted through a myriad of ways: eating disorder cycles, over exercising, work-aholism, toxic relationships and beyond. Through her own unique journey to liberation, she’s become wildly passionate about arming her fuck yes community with the tools to help them step into their fullest and most authentic selves, so that they can live every day feeling unapologetic AF in their own skin and truly come home to themselves. In 2018, she launched her top charting weekly podcast, Live Your F*ck Yes Life — the space to be for conscious conversations and candid shares around shit nobody really f*cking talks about. And in 2019, she courageously shared her journey of navigating a preventative double mastectomy at the age of 27 in her self published book, I Chopped Off My Tits. She spends most of her time sharing her musings every week over on Instagram and her podcast, so come on over and join in on the magic that is all things living YOUR fuck yes life.

Show Notes:

• Sisu will be changing platforms in the near future - announcement soon in the newsletter.
• Amanda's book, I Chopped Off My Tits, details her first experience with being bullied and how these experiences affect us into adulthood. - amandakatherineloy.com/book
• Amanda was married for eight years before they opened their relationship to polyamory.
• She came out as bisexual two years ago on her podcast.
• Polygamy - religious practice, usually one man with multiple wives. Polyamory - ethical nonmonagamy, a perspective on how we love.
• Central to this is the idea that you can choose your best relationship, whether that's polyamory or monogamy.
• If you're a couple exploring polyamory, it's very important to communicate and treat the "third" with a lot of care.
• Many people use polyamory as a "loophole" to manipulate and effectively cheat.
• Polyamory can be like a flashlight on your deepest wounds and insecurities.
• If you're doing feminine/masculine work, it doesn't necessarily mean your partner needs to be working in that domain.
• For those thinking of love and relationships in any capacity, ask yourself, "Am I showing up consciously?"

Show Notes:

• How to be present on dates when the biological clock is ticking?
• Women learning about their physiology is incredibly empowering and puts them in mastery.
• "Ditch the Frame" - Replace, "Could he be the one?" with sensual questions of, "What is the tenor or tone of our exchange? How much pleasure do I experience when sharing space with him?"
• The "frame" creates contraction and anxiety in the body and dims your radiant light.
• Men do not want to be interviewed as the "baby daddy."
• Think of a cervix as you embody your openness and desire in your dress, body language, and communication.
• When setting up dating profiles, rather than the hard edges of, "I don't want this," or, "I don't like this," instead effusively express that which you love, and he will be magnetized to you.
• Discernment is okay too - evaluate integrity, frequency and vibration, how you feel when you're around them.
• Study the great enchantresses like Cleopatra to better practice your energetic gifts in the domain of dating.

Episode 323: All of us are both masculine and feminine beings. Most of us are primarily masculine or primarily feminine, but it's important that we consciously work on balancing the two in ways that work for us. The feminine oracle is a component of a primarily feminine consciousness and body that is aware of and responds to our environments - our intuition. In this episode, originally aired on the High Vibin' It podcast, Madelyn discusses the feminine oracle, our inner compass, the Heroine's Journey, and so much more.

Show Notes:

• The masculine is the necessary "containers" and structure we create psychologically.
• The feminine is what's in the "containers."
• Sometimes we have to consciously ground the feminine or bring softness to the masculine.
• Expanding your feminine awareness includes looking at when you're telling yourself the same story to "prove it's right."
• A lot of our responses that we assume are mental/emotional actually do exist in the nervous system.
• It's important to include the body in spiritual work.
• A primarily feminine body has a "compass" - the oracle.
• This is the hyper-aware (but often not consciously expressed) part of us that responds to discord in our environments.
• This response is all-encompassing, even physical.
• In the Heroine's Journey there's a rejection of the feminine that has to happen, and some don't come out of it.
• A practice to ground: place your hand on your chest when you're speaking and feel the vibration of your words - connects the "two nervous systems."

Episode 322: Empath and narcissist - such profoundly relevant terms in today's world. Regardless of personal beliefs on the existence of empaths (those with a paranormal ability to apprehend the mental and emotional state of another person) it can be dangerous to one's own emotional state to assume feelings experienced are the result of being an empath, versus one's own emotions. In this episode Madelyn explores the overlap of empath and narcissist, with a deep case study of The Bachelorette for good measure.

Show Notes:

• Madelyn's life has been a bit transient since her last personal update.
• The uncertainty of her ungrounded situated also resulted in some physical manifestations/health consequences.
• Reviewing the podcast on various platforms is the best way to support and get the podcast higher on the listings:
• iTunes: https://maddymoon.com/itunes
• Spotify: https://maddymoon.com/spotify
• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MaddyMoonTV
• Empath definition: "A person with the paranormal ability to apprehend the mental or emotional state of another person."
• Ascribing your deep feelings to a self-identity as an empath may be an exhibition of poor mental self-care.
• Externalizing the root cause of emotions may be deflecting real self-actualization that has to happen.
• Madelyn walks through an extensive breakdown of The Bachelorette and the expression of these interactions, and projecting your own feelings onto others and label it being an "empath."
• True empathy is not about making others' experiences about you being able to feel what they feel.
• Madelyn has experience with someone she was raised with who considered themselves to be an empath.
• Red flags are using emotions to control others: "You made me feel this way." "You don't really care about me."

Episode 321: A teacher, mystic and poet, Richard Rudd attended Edinburgh University where he gained a Master’s degree in literature and metaphysics. A born explorer, he has studied with great teachers in the East, traveled through the Himalayas, the Pacific, the Americas and the Arctic. He worked in the film industry in Australia, trained as a teacher of Chi Kung and meditation in Thailand, and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a small yacht.

Throughout his adventures Richard Rudd has explored his love of writing and in 2006 he won the FISH international poetry award in Ireland. Richard's mystical journey began early in life as he experienced strange energies rushing throughout his body. This catalysed his spiritual search. All his studies became synthesised in 2002 when he began to write and receive the Gene Keys - a vast synthesis exploring the miraculous possibilities inherent in human DNA. It took 7 years to write the book and understand its teachings and applications. Today Richard continues to study and teach the profound lessons contained in the Gene Keys.

In this episode Madelyn and Richard discuss relationship polarity, the Gene Keys, and the new Venus Sequence retreat event.

• The ideas that there's a perfect kind of relationship/person is a myth.
• The Law of Unseen Grace: We always get the exact relationship that we need, exactly the one that's in front of us.
• Everything about our evolution happens in sequences.
• You attract people to you through frequencies.
• Some of the loneliest people on the planet are in relationships.
• Over time and relationships, we're essentially learning to parent ourselves, learning to take care of our own hearts.
• Every relationship has its teaching for us.
• Romantic-centric relationships thrive on separation and distance, and the chemistry often doesn't work with proximity.
• The Divine Venus Deep Dive "retreat" will have a weekly theme.
• Around two hours a week, perhaps 20 minutes at a time.
• It's over such an extended period of time because they are many small steps that take time to process.
• This may be the last time Richard personally runs the Venus Sequence himself, as there's other subjects he has to cover as well.

• Making Your Love Darker and Your Goals Lighter - maddymoon.com/dominick-quartuccio/
• If you're in a relationship with a feminine man and you want him to be more masculine, evaluate why you're in that relationship.
• There can be a sense of shame around being "too nice" or being emasculated.
• You can channel your enthusiasm to evoke masculine leadership in your partner. This allows you both to "lead."
• Relationships can evolve, and the masculine/feminine dynamic and balance can shift over time.
• When you make statements like, "Be a man," you have basically told him that he's not one, and when he's not one, he feels emasculated and shameful.
• An analogue to, "Be a man," might be a man telling a woman she's crazy or too sensitive.

Episode 319: All too often we frame our work with masculine/feminine in the context of conflict, suggesting that one has to "win" to achieve peace. The reality is that it's absolutely necessary to strengthen your inner masculine, in order to support your feminine and move forward as a whole integrated being.

In this episode, Madelyn discusses ways to strengthen your inner masculine, why it's important, the symbiotic roles masculine and feminine play in our growth and challenges, and some of the root causes of conflict between them. This originally aired as an episode of Georgie Collinson's Anxiety Reset Podcast.

Show Notes:

• The feminine/masculine discussion that's happening on social media is often missing the mark.
• It's not about glorifying softness, surrender, going with the flow.
• It's about embracing wild chaotic energies.
• Both men and women have both been raised in this wounded masculine society, and it's damaged men and women (and their respective feminine/masculine) differently.
• David Deida is a strong foundation of Madelyn's masculine/feminine work:
• The Way of the Superior Man - https://amzn.to/2SASai9
• Blue Truth - https://amzn.to/36Baujn
• Dear Lover - https://amzn.to/3jF9H4r
• Wild Nights - https://amzn.to/2GNYHmI
• The masculine is the part that doesn't and hasn't changed. It's the riverbed that the river of the feminine flows through.
• The masculine drive for peace wants to be free of burden.
• The feminine drive for peace is self-acceptance.
• It's crucial to put our masculine to the forefront even when working with the feminine: "Warriors with a strong spine and a soft heart."
• The Heroine's Journey by Maureen Murdock - https://amzn.to/3d5FokZ
• Women's arc or journey includes shoving away the feminine, "rejecting their mother."
• Therefore she gravitates to the father, and so the father determines a lot of how she evaluates her success as she gets older.

Episode 318: Through the endless striving for a balanced and healthy physical and spiritual life, the greatest challenge for women to identify, embrace, and work with their feminine yearning to be filled, recognizing the divine calling of that yearning, while acknowledging and honoring the more prosaic day-to-day "neediness" without belittling ourselves for it. Everything exists on a spectrum, and physical or lower-vibration anxious feminine longing is simply a different part of a continuum that includes and is encompassed by divine, archetypal feminine longing. In this episode Madelyn details a recent intense plant medicine experience that brought her in touch with the full spectrum of that yearning, its resolution, and recovery in its aftermath.

Show Notes:

• Feminine longing is the deepest state that the feminine knows - the state of wanting.
• There is a difference between the actions of flow (practical, logistical flexibility) and the embodiment of flow (true psychic acuity).
• Book: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, MD - https://amzn.to/2FCb98Q
• Tuning into the nervous systems of those around you can help open you to the impact you have on others.
• "It's not your coach's job to please you; it's their job to serve you."
• This means that sometimes their job may be to convey something to you that doesn't "land" or resonate.
• Madelyn had a threshold plant medicine experience recently that brought her further into her feminine than she's ever been.
• The experience moved through feral, animal, even feminine with a visit from the Magdalena archetype.
• There was an intense comedown the next day - she felt she had not properly prepared her body.
• Even the female body is the physical embodiment of a drive to be filled.
• Feminine longing can sometimes be dark, because you miss people, connection, comfort.
• Filling your yearning is your responsibility, your dharma.
• Madelyn recently led a practice to work with this longing.
• The intent is not to circumvent the longing, but move through it and into a divine sphere with it - divine longing.

Episode 317: A big life change is the perfect time for a road trip, either solo or with the right companion. Even if spend a lot of non-directed time and aren't focused on the destination, the act of the trip itself is a birthing journey into the next phase of your life. In this episode Madelyn reviews the spiritual, psychological, and logistical details of her trip, reviews how to road trip effectively, and following the universe's invitation to find yourself in the unknown.

Show Notes:

• Madelyn ended her recent relationship and knew that it was time to head to Los Angeles.
• Episode 318 covers working through the actual decision of the move. maddymoon.com/paralyzed-by-decision/
• If your body continually questions, "Can I make this work?" it's a good cue that it isn't naturally working.
• "Staying past that point was dismissing my body's 'no.'"
• Always solicit and listen to feedback from your support network - remember that you aren't "crazy" when you have a dozen different perspectives from a dozen different people.
• Madelyn details the logistics of the trip - how long she'd drive at a stretch, caring for her dog, food, etc.
• The photo from episode 318 was taken at The Cross of the Martyrs in Santa Fe. - maddymoon.com/paralyzed-by-decision/
• She visited The Ark bookstore in Santa Fe - https://www.arkbooks.com/
• While in Santa Fe she practiced following her instincts while still being open to unpredictable paths and opportunities.

• Rather than doing her usual "lock it down immediately" pattern, Madelyn is instead staying in Airbnbs and living more fluid.
