Have you ever felt that you came here to be of service or had a deep curiosity to know more about your purpose, or suspected that you are part of something bigger? Then you may be part of The Second Wave.
While we can often think that change on the planet, and in human evolution, is up to someone else, this book explores why we each play a role in making change happen and birthing the new world. Especially now when we are all feeling so much fear and division. This book is about trusting what’s happening, knowing we are exactly where we need to be, and allowing ourselves to be compassionate, loving and vulnerable- even in the darkest, messy moments.
Listen in as Kerri and I dive into the mess of the human experience and talk about self love, sovereignty, soul contracts, 5th dimension conversations, self-judgement, current world issues, division, fear, and the many way’s we have to reveal, feel and heal, what is coming to the surface so that we can expand and transform into a more loving and just world, together.
I loved my interview with Kerri, because I love her honestly, her grit, and her down to earth way of explaining and exploring spiritual concepts that can otherwise feel out of reach. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.

What do systemic racism and religious wounding have in common?
Listen in as Terrlyn and I talk about the importance of taking the time to investigate our own traditions and beliefs. We discuss how all must examine and reveal where unconscious bias and disempowering interpretations might be getting in the way of tapping into the true spirit of our divine nature as well as how we can all relate to one another as members of a larger spiritual community where everyone gets to belong.
Dr. Terrlyn L. Curry Avery is a pastologist, spiritual leader, author, and TEDx speaker. She is the creator of pastology, the dynamic approach to transformation that focuses on the synergy between spirituality and the human psyche. She helps transformational leaders stay grounded in their faith, values, and purpose by providing both spiritual and psychological support as they manifest their own greatness and help others to do the same. Dr. Curry Avery helps leaders recognize and understand how ingrained disruptive and damaging messages from various religions may impact their finances, decision-making, careers, and personal self-image. She holds a Ph.D. from Hofstra University and a MDiv. from Yale University. She is the author of Sacred Intelligence: The Essence of Sacred, Selfish and Shared Relationships and was the previous host of her own Public Access Show.
Enjoy this rich discussion of the patriarchy, giving up your power, religious trauma, understanding how race and religion can separate us if we are not mindful and aware, and what might be possible if we were to give ourselves permission to reimagine and broaden our perspective on the sacred.

Meet my dear friend Vanessa Ryerse. She is an entrepreneur, an ordained pastor a working artist, and a mother. I first learned of Vanessa when I heard her on Rob Bell’s Podcast The Robcast a couple of years ago and I knew I had to reach out and know her more deeply.
It turns out, she’s my people, and our initial conversation actually sparked a desire in me to begin my own podcast. Vanessa helped me realize that I wanted to give women who are doing powerful work in the world a bigger platform to share their ideas, revelations and work. She’s talented, open-hearted, rebellious, and thinks about things deeply - with her heart.
When Vanessa talks you want to lean in and listen real close so you don’t miss something magical. She’s always making beautiful things and she’s always integrating and building bridges for herself and for others between the human and the divine.
Vanessa pastors at her start up: Vintage Fellowship in Fayetteville with her husband Rob. They have four children, biological and adopted, ranging from college to preschool. She sells in two Etsy shops: one for vintage home decor and clothing, The Classic Butterfly, and another featuring her broken china mosaic art, The Mosaic Butterfly.
Listen in as we talk about her new sermon series, her own understanding of Patriarchy, her religious trauma, how she’s shifting the narrative of gender hierarchy with progressive theology and so much more.

Karen Anderson is leading the conversation about healing the generational wounds between mothers and daughters and using this challenging relationship as an opportunity and a catalyst for growth, leadership, wisdom, and creativity. Karen challenges the current patriarchal definitions of these energies and notes that for millennia, women have been burnt at the stake (literally and metaphorically) when we wield our emotions, power, and creativity intentionally. She acknowledges the many women in our maternal lineages that have suffered mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically as a result of the unexpressed emotion, the unused power, and the untapped creativity within them. Karen hopes to disrupt these generational patterns through a project she calls The Motherlode.
In it, she will be highlighting twenty creative women who have learned from their difficult relationship to their mothers, specifically around power, emotion, and creativity, and how to alchemize these energies in service to their leadership, relationships, and work, and why it matters.
Listen in as Karen and I unpack the importance of revealing and healing these generational wounds and why they are such a rich source of insight for our leadership with other women. If you would like to participate in The Mother Lode, simply visit Karen’s website.
Karen is the author of several books, most notably:
Difficult Mothers, Adult Daughters - A Guide For Separation, Liberation, & Inspiration
The Difficult Mother-Daughter Relationship Journal - A Guide For Revealing & Healing Toxic Generational Patterns
“From the time you were born, and even when you were in the womb, your relationship with your mother served as a blueprint for your relationship with yourself. Your mother’s beliefs were the basis for your own. You learned to treat yourself the way your mother treated herself, and the way she treated you. This is generally an unconscious process.” ~ Difficult Mothers, Adult Daughters: A Guide For Separation, Liberation & Inspiration

As a licensed mental health counselor and certified life coach, Jessica Martin embraces the concept of the collective wisdom and draws from her expertise in holistic health while also tapping into her intuition to help her clients heal, integrate and balance. Jess uses tools of mindfulness, art, and somatic understanding and she can often be found delivering workshops, classes, public speaking, or hiking with her dogs.
We are the stories we tell ourselves and the cumulative stories we are told about ourselves. At some point, we may find that our stories form an identity that limits and constrains who we want to be. As women, we can find the challenge compounded by inferred gender roles that are not aligned with what we may envision for our own lives. As COVID–19 continues to challenge us to innovate, women, in particular, are stepping up, finding new opportunities, and collaborating in ways that serve the collective whole while also stretching us to imagine a new future that’s distinctly different from the hectic and unconscious way we have been living.
Listen in as Jess Martin and I discuss the evolving story of identity and how we can reimagine what’s possible by choosing which parts of our story we wish to keep, transform, or create from scratch. We also cover a wide range of subjects including naked rock climbing, Instagram celebrities, Divine Feminine girl-crushing, and the neurobiology of trees. As usual, there is a fair amount of irreverence and swearing. I sure hope you enjoy the show.
