The Wild Within

Ep. 2: In this episode, I share a rich conversation with Maitreya Wolf, a soul evolution mentor, tarot reader, and musician whose life and work are devoted to the spiritual power of Beauty, living the path of soul, and the wild earth.

 We explore: 

• The qualities and stages of a soul initiation process
• Recognizing the link between our personal and collective evolution; becoming coherent and generative beings not only for ourselves, but for the greater field of consciousness
• Accessing our unique purpose during these times
• The intertwined journey of personal and collective evolution
• Living at the choice point in our lives, learning how to orient within the arc of our trajectory and soul’s compass
• Working with our core wounds and challenges in a generative, life-giving way as part of our evolutionary process
• The relationship between trauma and initiation, and reframing trauma as a deepening into our soul path
• Learning to recognize and clear the distortions to our own inner beauty
• Returning to the remembrance of our innate connection to all of life
• Widening ourselves and our perspectives to the fullness of existence, so we can make truly conscious choices in our lives
• Becoming coherent for life to pour through us in full awareness
• Re-establishing our innate connection to nature and the wild
• How being in relationship with nature is linked with our personal empowerment
• Becoming in tune with the rhythms and cycles of nature and sourcing our power therein
• Awakening from “stranded amnesia" to reclaim our sovereignty and remember who we truly are
• Remembering the symbiosis of all things and how this applies to our lives
• Choosing to “stay and be with what is” rather than run away, as a generative act
• The questions to ask ourselves to be in true service to our world today and discover what we are here to give.
• How to connect to your “Exalted Self”
• Accessing your creative power and becoming the creative force of life
• Changing our relationship to life (at a personal and collective level)
• Returning to a state of wonder and reverence for life, and to the magnificence of our being
• Transmuting and integrating all parts of ourselves so we may become more whole

In this solo show, we will explore:

• What shadow work is, and how our shadow forms in childhood

• The holographic nature of the universe, and how we can grow self-aware through seeing parts of ourselves projected out onto others
• Healing the illusion of separation
• Working with our natural desires to uncover our true path in life
• Uncovering and owning our shadow parts 
• The "light shadow" and whole-self integration
• Tools for emotional awareness and transmuting shadow parts into our personal power

This season, you can expect solo shows and inspiring conversations with others in the consciousness movement, to help your journey to awakened and empowered living in these times.

Ep 24: Today's episode is a special one, because I have been personally going through some huge personal shifts over here, and this podcast is moving and shifting right along with me. 

Mindset Rebel has evolved into a deeper and more experiential exploration of spiritual awakening, personal and collective transformation, and embodied self-empowerment through the lens of psychedelic plant medicine, shamanism, and a direct experience of awakening.

Allow me to introduce you to... The Wild Awake. :)

This episode will take you through a bit of my story over the past few months, the massive shifts I've been experiencing through plant medicine, and what the new podcast will look and feel like going forward. 

I'm so excited to continue the journey with you! <3 

Ep. 21: I wanted to share a bit of a personal update, as my past few months have been chock full of challenges, lessons, magic, darkness... and everything in between.  

On this solo episode, I dive into my own personal "dark night" (or as I like to say, total emotional unraveling  over this past month in Mexico 😆), sitting with massive discomfort and surrendering to growth, my real experience of Tulum (hint: it's not what you see on Instagram) and basically getting my ass humbled AF in the final stretch of 2020 ;)  

Some topics I cover include: 

• The process of grounding after a nomadic lifestyle 
• Why self-centeredness is not a bad thing 
• What we *think* we need is often not what we *really* need 
• What is a "dark night" of the soul, and how to work with and through it 
• My authentic challenges and experiences moving to Mexico 
• The polarity of massive challenge and big magic 
• Why we need to be triggered to shake us out of our comfort zone and grow 
• Surrendering into darkness to find the light 
• The energy of vortex places on the planet and how they impact us 
• Learning to make courageous and graceful pivots towards our true path 
• Listening to the call of your heart and purpose 
• Embodying our true purpose: to FEEL the full spectrum of emotions 
• ....and more :)  

Let's connect more!

Ep. 20 - Today I'm sitting down with Nadia Munla, women's embodiment and intimacy coach, to discuss all things embodiment, sensuality, surrender, and feminine spirituality. We all know the importance of "slowing down" – but in a society designed to keep us spinning in our heads in "go-go-go" mode, it's a new form of empowerment to return home to our bodies and find our own truth and healing within. This episode is so potent for the times we are in right now – I highly recommend you give it at least one listen, and note down the many practices Nadia recommends for reconnecting to your inner power.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Nadia's journey of moving from a life of hustle and grind life into one of embodiment and sensual aliveness
• Our society's epidemic of disconnection from our body wisdom  
• Rewilding and what animals can teach us about living fully 
• The ways our mind-based culture keeps us disconnected from our body 
• Using our five senses to experience sensuality 
• Accessing divinity through going inward into the senses.  
• The difference between “masculine” and “feminine” forms of spirituality 
• How to balance “doing” and “feeling”  
• Finding integration through combining structure and flow  
• Reaping the gifts of slowing down and simplifying in 2020 
• How to regulate our nervous systems for better health 
• Using our breath as the building block and language of the reptilian brain to positively shift our physiological state  
• Why we don’t need complicated formulas to get through these times - and what we do need instead 
• Where suffering actually comes from (different from where we think it does!)  
• Inner child work - how to mother and reparent our inner child 
• The four feminine archetypes 
• The power of surrendering into pain, and the difference between surrender and resignation 
• Fear-based vs. love-based motivation 
• Her co-creative visioning plan - 4 powerful questions to help you create an embodied vision based in surrender
