It's a New Year and with it come a whole new slew of twist and turns and challenges to make you question everything you thought was healed and resolved within you. Woohoo! What a fun ride this life is, eh?! The good news is that life dolling out these hurdles means you're Soul is on a path of growth and evolution. You're ready to level up which almost always comes down to accepting yourself as you are, even when you feel faced with perceived failure or disappointment. 

On this week's solo episode, I offer you all the gentle reminder that you are a Divine Feminine, continuous work in progress and deserve the utmost respect and grace for yourself as you navigate the twists and turns of this year. There will be times when you feel like you didn't show up how you would have liked, that's OK. There will be times when you respond in a way that feels yucky and like regression, that's Ok. All along you're still growing and evolving and learning. I share some personal anecdotes, both recent and from years path, that illustrate experiences of doubting and questioning myself and how I've come to understand these moments. I also offer the idea that just because we deviate from what we consider to be our highest, most aligned expression doesn't mean you're not progressing on your path. Or that you don't have beautiful wisdom, support, guidance and kindness to share with others.

Welcome to the first Guest Episode of 2025! And what a perfect guest we have this week to kick off this powerful year as her focus on Women's Wisdom perfectly compliments the message of Women Waken. Corinna Wood has been a visionary teacher of holistic women’s wisdom for over 30 years, Corinna is known as a trailblazer—including founding and directing the nation’s largest herbal conference for 15 years. She is passionate about encouraging Women to embrace and understand their needs and how to get them met. 

On this Guest episode, Corinna shares her story of overcoming early life trauma and an eating disorder which inspired her to help other Women find their way to a place of inner peace and well being. She speaks of her unique approach to inner growth and healing, through engaging nature’s energy and gives us a special treat of talking about how we are nearing the halfway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. & what might we expect emotionally through this earth-based lens. Together we discuss why it is so hard for women to pay attention to their needs and how a lot of women, especially those working through trauma, have difficulty trusting their own intuition. Or trusting themselves. This leads to Corinna explaining her remarkable resource, the Wise Woman Needs Wheel.

Happy 2025 Everybody! I'm feeling very energized & empowered by this energy coming in with the New Year. I hope you all are feeling it as well & are entering the New Year with optimism and bold aspirations. To kick off the year I welcome back again my dear & talented friend, Erin Sikopoulos, owner of Turn a New Leaf Intuitive Energy & Bodywork. The morning of her our first interview, Erin received a very powerful & interesting channeled message from what referred to itself as Beings of Feminine Energy. We didn't have time to cover this information in our first conversation so we met again for a second interview, which I'm sharing with you all today!

On this guest episode, Erin returns to share about her unique and profound experience of channeling messages from Beings of Feminine Energy & what they had to say. Essentially they offered 8 attributes or archetypes that make up the Yin or Feminine presence in our World and described them each. These 8 archetypes include Lady Peace, The Chameleon, Lady Justice, Luna, Intuition, Imagination, The Alchemist, & The Mother. Erin shares what she was told about each of these aspects of the Feminine and it was fascinating and fun to explore and consider together! We hope you all enjoy!

So often it can feel like we don't have time to focus on all the aspects of our lives that need our our attention; work, relationships, self care, exercise, meditation, joy, sex, and many others. In this week's solo episode I wanted to address this struggle to achieve balance and expand on topics that my guest from last week, Kinjal Shah, and I spoke about on the show last week. These include asking the question of, what is wellness? How can we begin to bring our life into greater balance so that we can begin to experience wellbeing at the level of mind, body, and emotions? 

On this solo episode I offer 3 tips for taking steps towards a greater understanding of ourselves and our needs to obtain balance, harmony, and fulfillment in life. These 3 steps include:

1) Making a "Wheel of Wellness" to better conceptualize what areas of our lives our meeting our needs/lacking
2) Asking ourselves the huge question of, "Who am I?" free from titles and labels
3) Building awareness around what we consume and listening to our bodies to tell us what's working and what's not

Alright, Ya'll may be tired of hearing it, because I've been talking about it for a year now, yet I needed to offer ONE LAST episode sharing the message of the Ol' Magician in the Mirror. One, because it is very powerful and pertinent to sit with before moving into a New Year. Two, because I was given a Divine synchronistic sign that indeed I needed to do a final episode on it!

On this very last Identify & Heal solo episode (not only of the year but of ALL TIME as I'm changing the solo episode format in 2025) I offer some inspiration on setting yourself free for infinite possibilities in your future and review the message of the Magician in the Mirror who asks you to focus ONLY on what you want!

Well it's happening again! Another episode devoted solely to one of my favorite topics, tarot! Now many of you know that tarot is near and dear to my heart as I felt I was initiated by the tarot Goddess when the ball dropped into 2020. A Qoman at a New Years party did a little reading for me and afterwards she looked at me and said, "This deck no longer belongs to me, this is yours." Wow! It was powerful. My guest this week also felt the sudden and undeniable draw to dive head first into the Divination of tarot. So much so that my guest, Nicole Colella, immersed herself in the study of tarot to become a veritable master in a few short years. 

On this week's guest episode, Nicole shares about her story of discovering (or being discovered by) tarot. How she uses tarot as the primary form of communication with Spirit. She tells of how she was guided to discover and share the gift of the Quantum Tarot Healing modality. She describes this unique modality and how she incorporates it in her work with clients. It's a lively, excited conversation between two ladies who adore tarot. We share our take on various cards (Nicole has a very unique take on the Devil card!) and the many ways be've come to have a deep appreciation for the Divine tool of tarot.

Bio:

Using the Tarot as the primary form of communication with Spirit, Nicole receives information to assist both people and animals in recognizing situations blocking their current path. She helps her clients identify issues needing to be addressed in order to progress. 

Through her metaphysical studies and Spiritual connection, Nicole was guided to discover and share the gift of the Quantum Tarot Healing modality. Quantum Tarot Healing is a synergistic blend of tarot, crystals, and energy healing that creates a unique healing experience which can be delivered in person or remotely.

Happy Yuletide lovely listeners! We've reach that sweet special week, the last one of the year, that always seems to feel like a time of no time. We're closing the year and celebrating holidays so it's OK to eat candy for breakfast and chocolates all through the day. You may never get out of your pajamas (or bed) and subsist on leftovers. I for one am a big fan! So this is just a little episode to wish you a happy time of year where there are no rules and to encourage a bit of peace and joy mixed in.

On this Divine Feminine solo episode I share some thoughts on the Yuletide season and pull a card from the gorgeous Nature Whispers Oracle Deck.

* Re-released from last year's solstice episode December 22nd 2023. Still holds true as another resource to celebrate in the Winter Solstice!

Happy Winter Solstice everyone! I hope this long night finds you safe, cozy, healthy, and content as we move into another cycle around the sun together. While we're taking this time to slow down, gather with family, & hopefully have time away from work and obligation, I wanted to offer some thoughts on giving yourself a big internal hug as well.

On this identify & Heal solo episode, I'm sharing about the importance of taking time to find the parts of our emotional body that could use some nurturing, comfort, and attention during this time of rest. Acknowledging all that you have accomplished, overcome, & all the growth you've had this year. I also share how giving ourself that deep Divine Feminine nourishment is the key to releasing codependent fixations before we move into a New Year.

I always like to have collaborative partners on the show. Especially when they are business AND romantic partners! A Divine Union of sharing love and creating together. My guests this week are quite the creative and inspiring couple, Heather Box and Julian Mocine-McQueen. They came together with a shared vision for encouraging others to own and share their story.  Heather and Julian believe that everyone has a story to tell, and that story has the power to influence others—family, friends, a community, or even the whole world. In their book How Your Story Sets You Free they explain why storytelling is the most powerful way there is to inspire others and build lasting connections.

On this guest episode, Heather & Julian share their origin story as well as their tips and tricks to build & share connections and get writing. Whether you are looking to empower yourself, find your voice during a work meeting, or make new friends (at any age) Heather shares how taking the social and making it personal helps human connection. They emphasize that you don’t need a “hero’s story” to share your story with others. Heather’s 2 question prompt will help any individual discover what it is they want to share with the world and explain why it’s important to do so! They also speak to the empowering nature of story telling and how women can embrace their voices and stories and recognize how their stories contribute to a more inclusive historical narrative. Stories are the fabric of society and we need women's stories to be fairly represented!

BIO:

Founders of The Million Person Project, Heather Box and Julian Mocine-McQueen have helped over 1,500 changemakers from 67 countries tell their stories. Heather and Julian believe that everyone has a story to tell, and that story has the power to influence others—family, friends, a community, or even the whole world. In their book How Your Story Sets You Free they explain why storytelling is the most powerful way there is to inspire others and build lasting connections, and they guide readers step by step through the process of uncovering and sharing their own authentic personal stories. The techniques in this book work equally well whether you want write your story down or tell it in person.
