The Spiritual Boss Podcast: Recent Episodes
thespiritualboss
The Spiritual Boss is a podcast for spiritually fuelled humans; for the spiritually curious, and those that are constantly exploring to derive greater perspective and meaning from their life and experiences.
Featuring enlightened conversations about business, intuition, mediation, depression, family, creativity, empowerment and more.
Hosted by: Jen Anderson, Melanie Dawn, and Tanya Ryan.
In this season finale episode, Tanya and Melanie look back on some of their favorite conversations, the episodes that impacted them most, and the moments that made them laugh, think deeper, and grow along the way.
From spirituality and healing to relationships, identity, intuition, and the beautifully messy parts of being human, they reflect on what they’ve loved most about creating the podcast together and the unique dynamic they bring as a duo.
This episode is part reflection, part celebration, and part behind-the-scenes glimpse into the friendship, honesty, and conversations that shape the show.
Thank you for listening, sharing, and growing with us this season, we can’t wait for what’s next.
In this episode, Tanya and Melanie explore the power of women’s stories, oral tradition, and the wisdom that has been passed down through generations outside of history books. The conversation begins with the idea that women’s voices, experiences, and contributions may have been erased, overlooked, or softened throughout history — and how storytelling became a way of preserving truth, intuition, survival, and connection.
Inspired by themes from Women Who Run With the Wolves, they reflect on the importance of remembering the wild, instinctive parts of ourselves and the role stories play in helping women reconnect to who they are beneath conditioning and expectation.
Tanya also shares pieces of her own personal evolution and relationship to her history, creating a conversation that is both deeply reflective and universally relatable.
This episode is about memory, identity, feminine wisdom, and the stories that continue to live through us.
In this solo episode, Melanie explores the shadow side of the chakra system through the teachings of Anodea Judith, diving into how the “demons” of the chakras influence the energetic field we live from every day.
From fear, control, people pleasing, perfectionism, and emotional attachment, Melanie shares how our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and nervous system patterns create a magnetic field that shapes the reality we experience.
This episode explores how we unconsciously recreate familiar emotional states, why change can feel threatening even when we deeply want it, and how attachment to comfort, identity, and old patterns can quietly keep us stuck.
Melanie also shares reflections on why we often grow right to the edge of transformation… only to stop ourselves there — and what it actually takes to shift the field and create change from a more conscious place.
This conversation blends spirituality, energetic awareness, nervous system insight, and grounded self-inquiry for anyone feeling stuck between who they’ve been and who they’re becoming.
Over the course of many years and many readings I have noticed an incredibly important link between developing your imagination in tandem with your intuition. They are collaborative skills that interact and interrelate. Join me as we discuss how to strengthen your intuition by way of tapping into imagination.
We had some laughs while exploring our toxic traits - and natural digressed (as we do) into various other topics including the moral debate of whether it's okay to hex/curse people and send out bad juju, the power of sex magick - and some other fun twists and turns along the way. A little bit of spring spice!
In this episode, Melanie opens up about her relationship with procrastination - something she once wore as a badge of honor. But underneath it, she discovered something deeper: a quiet collection of unbirthed ideas, held back by limiting beliefs and subtle patterns of self-protection.
This conversation explores what’s really driving procrastination, the beliefs that keep it in place, and what happens when you begin to see it not as a flaw, but as a signal.
This is more-or-less a stream of consciousness and a candid and vulnerable share of where I'm (Tanya) at with life specifically around career pursuits and motherhood.
I guess it's just my podcast equivalent to Reba McIntyre's "Is There Life Out There" and unpacking some feelings of grief around life stages that have passed.
I wish it was a bit more enlightening or insightful, but if you're down to just hang out and listen in camaraderie please feel welcome.
This is a conversation about discernment. About taking your power back and how to avoid giving it away in the first place. As soon as we position someone on a pedestal or hand our power over to them, we set ourselves (and them) up for ultimate failure.
In this episode of The Spiritual Boss Podcast, I sit down with Julie Boake, a corporate marketing professional who is in the thick of navigating body and hormone changes from menopause. Trying what felt like everything to balance her hormones and bring her body back to the home she once knew, she found incredible insight in an unconventional path.
Our conversation isn't filled with quick fixes, it's sharing what we have done that is working and what we've done that hasn't worked.
Whether you're in peri, menopause or simply curious about what your later life looks like as a female, Julie's openness offers validation, insight and a reminder that there isn't one thing that works for every body through this change.
Usually January comes with an onslaught of goals, ambitions, and new year's resolutions. All the things we want to create and be in the coming year. There are, however, a handful of us that just aren't feeling that same fire and push to get in gear. Perhaps there's another pathway for those that are lagging a little on their New Year's vibe.
In this episode of The Spiritual Boss, Tanya and Melanie explore what they're consciously letting go of, making space around and completing to bring more clarity and presence this year.
Mel shares how completing unfinished projects has become a powerful practice in closing energetic loops and freeing up mental and emotional space. Tanya reflects on her intention to step away from phone distractions and reclaim her time and mental peace.
This conversation is a reminder that change doesn't always equal doing more - sometimes it comes from taking things away and making space for more to come in.
Psychic Medium Tammy Toch is back with more predictions for 2026 as well as a wrap for 2025!
In this episode, Tammy talks about what she got right from last year's predictions and what we're going to see from 2026. This is an episode you don't want to miss - there is hope coming with a very different energy than we've been experiencing about to happen.
What are the realistic expectations of being a parent of young children? Of me, as their parent... as them as my kids that are slowly developing their sense of independence.
"I'm not a yeller" ... and yet. Here we are. I'm yelling.
What do our proclamations really reveal about ourselves. Are those announcements true - or are they trying to inform us of where we are trying to convince ourselves of something?
A Reiki self treatment for inner visualization.
Guided visualization, but make it stressful? The number one complaint I hear from people is that they can't visualize and it becomes frustrating to try. Most of us struggle to "see" anything but the back of our eyelids. You are not a lost cause.
You can strengthen your inner eye and watch your visualizations come to life in surprising ways.
In this episode, Melanie takes the listeners on a guided visualization meant to balance the chakra centres and open the third eye. Learning to see without seeing is a unique skill that can open up your intuition and awaken the relationship you have with your body's energy system.
Have you ever felt frustrated by people who could manifest easily?
These people seem like magnets for their desires, while you seem more like a repellent. Manifesting is a luxury that happens from a balanced nervous system and safe lower chakras. If you are in a place where your focus is on survival, you need to start the manifestation from there.
If you've felt blocked at manifestation, you might find some clues inside this episode to move beyond what's been happening and onto what is coming.
We are all running around with those shitty narratives and voices in our heads that try to make us feel like we're... what? Worthless, inadequate, unloved... Any number of things, but definitely leave us feeling less than.
This episode is a personal share/storytime about the impact of those brain demons. How they are showing up at this phase of life and through current circumstances.
There's no lecture, no advice on conquering, just a vulnerable share to open a space for community and similar experiences.
Stephanie Rose of Westrose media joins the podcast for an episode that dives into how the radical acceptance of self can create the ultimate brand and business. Steph leaves no room for BS - not with your clients, and especially not with yourself.
How can you dig into to your honest desires and radical truths to build a business you're proud of? Stephanie has some insight, tune in to learn more.
In this episode, Melanie explores how yoga nidra helps you to relax the cage of the mind - your thoughts, stories and survival patterns that keep you living from the past. Sharing how deep rest opens the door to new information and new ways of being.
If you've ever felt trapped by your own thoughts and repeat patterns, this episode will offer the medicine that exists within being still, relaxed and aware.
We've made this a little tradition here at the Spiritual Boss. A little spooky story telling to get us in the mood before Halloween begins. Drop us a DM and tell us your spooky stories! We want to add to our archives.
Money isn’t just numbers, it’s energy. During this episode of The Spiritual Boss Podcast, Tanya and Mel dive into the energetics of earning and explore how your money story and personal beliefs shape your ability to receive, earn, and charge for your work in the world.
We share openly about our own journeys with undercharging, shifting limiting beliefs and learning to align pricing with the value of the healing and holistic work we offer. This is an honest conversation about worth, energy exchange and the courage it takes to step into a new money frequency.
Is it intuition…or just anxiety talking? During this episode of The Spiritual Boss Podcast, Tanya and Mel unpack the age-old question of how to tell the difference between your inner knowing and your mental programming. We dive into the subtle ways intuition speaks, how loud logic can get both in your head and in your body and what you can do to discern what's what.
If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself or wished you could better recognize when your intuition is leading the way, this conversation is for you!
This week on The Spiritual Boss Podcast, I sit down with Anthony Zorzetto of The Possible Principle to discuss the slippery slope to addiction, his experiences and how his program gets results.
Anthony works exclusively with men on their sobriety but don’t let that stop you from tuning in. He shares not only how daily anchors and accountability can transform recovery but also what we, as partners, can do for those we love.
Anthony has personally impacted my life and I am grateful for his incredible program. This conversation is real, raw and needed.
The trees are transforming their colours and shedding themselves as we get closer to the winter ahead. What are you being called to let go and transform? The October vibe is immaculate - the pumpkin spice, the scarves and boots, the spooky season. Yes, yes, and more yes.
Let's lean into the fall, as it were, and dig in to what we are being called to release.
Anger is so foreign. There's no way to do it 'right' - you blow a gasket? That's not an option. We are told to be the bigger person, that cool heads prevail... but anger is functional, no? It serves a purpose, it means something... so why are we congratulated for repressing or controlling it?
Is there a way to be mad that's allowed? What does that look like?
We're back for season SEVEN of The Spiritual Boss Podcast. We are so excited for what we can endeavour to get into this season.
In this episode we talk a little bit about how our summer and 2025 has gone, what we're learning, and what we feel the symbolic significance of these things may be.
We talk a bit about our plans for the coming season with the podcast, as well as our plans personally and professionally.
✨ In this final episode under the Mystics & Broomsticks name, we’re reflecting on our favorite moments, the surprising lessons, and the growth we’ve experienced through this season. Melanie shares what it’s been like learning to trust her inner guidance (especially when outside feedback doesn’t resonate), while Tanya opens up about navigating patience—and the discomfort of letting people be mad. 😅
We’re also sharing what’s next: the return of The Spiritual Boss Podcast! A fresh chapter that brings us back to our roots of spirituality in business, life, and love. We’re so excited for what’s coming, and we’re so grateful you’ve been on this ride with us. 💫
If you're local to the foothills, chances are you've heard the name Tom Barker. No? How about Birthday Girl?
Tom is a local performer, drag queen, former radio personality and generally just a killer vibe that makes impressions and friends where ever he goes.
We had the chance to talk about what 30 is feeling like for him, how we are growing and changing, and the ups and downs that come with being such a vivacious personality.
Life is rarely black and white—and sometimes, two seemingly opposite things can be true at the same time. In this episode, Tanya and I explore the concept of duality: how it shows up in our inner worlds, how it often clashes with societal expectations, and why learning to live in the “both/and” is one of the most powerful things we can do. This conversation is an invitation to honor the complexity of being human and to give yourself permission to hold contradictions with grace.
In this episode, I open up about my early days as a Reiki practitioner and the lessons that helped me create a sustainable, heart-centered business. Tanya and I dive into the importance of finding real support, learning how to balance your schedule with your financial needs and desires, and navigating the growing pains of building something that truly feels aligned. Whether you’re just starting out or are feeling stuck, this conversation offers grounded insights for creating success on your timeline.
In this episode, I get real about something I think a lot of us are dealing with—what I call Monster Brain. You know, that foggy, frazzled, scattered energy that creeps in when you reach for your phone before you've even had a glass of water. I talk about how tech—especially social media—can hijack our mornings, mess with our mood, and steal our time before we even know what hit us.
I share some personal experiences, some hard truths, and some gentle reminders about why how we start our day matters. If you’ve ever felt off, grumpy, or overwhelmed before 10am, this one’s for you.
Let’s talk about reclaiming our mornings and kicking the Monster Brain to the curb—one intentional day at a time.

Owning a yoga studio sounds like a dream—but is it really?
In this episode, I sit down with Jerusha, my first mentor and a former yoga studio owner, to talk about the highs, lows, and unexpected lessons of running a studio. From awkward student encounters to the surprising challenges no one warns you about, Jerusha shares the raw reality of turning a passion into a business—and how that dream can take a toll on your life.
Whether you’re a yoga teacher, studio owner, or just curious about what happens behind the scenes, this episode is full of insights, honesty, and a few surprises.
Healing isn’t a straight path—it’s messy, raw, and deeply personal. In this episode, I sit down with Roxane from Heart of Healing, a wellness center offering LSV beds, cold and hot therapy, and a space for transformation.
Roxane shares her courageous journey through sobriety, how she built a business rooted in healing, and what it means to hold space for others while still navigating her own growth. This conversation between Roxane and Mel is a testament to resilience, the power of healing work, and the beauty of finding purpose through pain.

Have you ever noticed there’s a particular kind of person who always seems to be stuck in some downward spiral of problems?
And then we roll in with our rescuer hat and saviour complex to finally be that person that proves to them the world is a lovely and wonderful place… Only to have it play out but somehow we wind up accused of being the bad guy despite all efforts to the contrary.
Mel and Tanya use this episode to discuss those who are so committed to the victim role, they will turn the world upside down to keep proving to themselves they’re a victim. Ironically, become a perpetrator in the process.
Most of us will go through periods or 'eras' of ourselves (anyone else got some sweet pics from that emo era??)
As we expand and shift and grow - sometimes it's a matter of walking away from the past self... but oftentimes, I think we're meant to find a way to integrate the aspects of that version of ourselves - and fold it into the new era.
Content warning: pregnancy loss. Early and late term.
Slowly, there is more dialogue being shared around pregnancy loss and the grief that follows. It's important to me to be a part of that movement, and normalize not only that loss occurs, but that there is a whole grief process to unwind around it.
Ever met someone who makes everything their whole personality? Maybe, you are that person. Inside we dive into the world of the personalities that go ALL the way in - whether it's a new hobby they turn into a career or book series they're consumed by, they're fully in it.
We talk about the ups and downs of being the intense friend and how to get over a book hangover. If you wonder what makes you or this kind of person tick, take a listen and let us know what you think - are you the intense friend?
We've all received advice that made us stop and think - sometimes for the wrong reasons. In this episode, Tanya shares the worst advice she's ever received, and we unpack what makes certain words stick, even when they shouldn't. We close with some of the best advice we've learned along the way and explore how impact and intention shape conversations. Ever walked away from a talk feeling completely misunderstood? We break down the importance of subtext and getting clear on what's actually being said. Tune in for laughs, lessons and a few cringeworthy moments.
2024 was a ride, but 2025? The stars have some big plans.
In this episode, we sit down with the Wildsky Sisters to break down what astrology is predicting for the year ahead. Expect cosmic shake-ups, powerful shifts, and maybe even a little planetary drama. Whether you’re deep into astrology or just astrology-curious, we’re diving into what this year could mean for all of us.
Buckle up—it’s going to be a wild one!
You can find the Wild Sky Sisters here: https://www.wildskysisters.ca/
Use the code SPRING for a special rate when registering for Eclipse.
Ah yes, once again, we touch on the endless journey of shadow work. Being that it is an endless space of exploration, it makes sense that we have dedicated many podcasts to it.
This episode is full of personal successes and failures of journeying into the self in a wildly unpleasant way. Please join in, misery loves company as it were.
Mel unpacks the worst advice she’s ever received—and it came from a paid professional. In this honest episode, she shares how a well-meaning counselor’s guidance led her down a harder path, why she didn’t question it at the time, and what it taught her about discernment, power, and self-trust.
If you’ve ever followed advice that didn’t sit right (especially when you were vulnerable), this one’s for you. Not all support is supportive—and sometimes the detours teach us the most.
What’s the worst advice you’ve ever been given?
Tanya and Mel discuss their thoughts on menopause. Not just menopause, but all the highs and lows of being a woman on a 28 day rollercoaster ride of hormones. We talk about frustration with medical care, the k*ll phase of your cycle and how chatgtp helped to clear up some stagnant patterns that Melanie had going on in her life that were affecting her hormones.
Developing your imagination is the easiest and best hack for getting a better hold on your intuition. It allows you to expand your mind into great concepts and explore outside the box you default to. Listen in to get some tips on how to flex and channel your imagination - so you can turn it into intuition.
One of the most challenging people you will ever intuit for is YOU. We'll get into some ways you can help iron out the blocks and biases in order to get a better and more accurate reading for yourself.
A year of books in review! Featuring special guest: Kaicee Redpath, Tanya's ultimate book-buddy. If nothing else, get yourself a book buddy for this year. Someone with the same or similar taste in books is not only helpful if you want to get some motivation to read - but also so joyous. You can chat all about your opinions, thoughts, and just enjoy the ride.
If you're a book reader, or you want to be - here are a few of our favorites from the previous year!
Sh*t happens.
Two guarantees in life: you will die - and you will go through some sht. Transmutation is a tool that can help the shtty times feel like they're doing something for you - as opposed TO you. It can help us feel more empowered and autonomous.
At the beginning of this episode Tammy reviews 2024, what she saw and what she got right. Her accuracy is impeccable and delivery captivating. In this episode she talks about what 2025 will be bringing for us as we hold tight for a brighter future. What she missed telling us during the episode that was very important to share was that a big theme for 2025 will be bringing telepathy and remote viewing to the forefront of our attention. So, if you're somewhat of an intuitive, watch your gifts expand in 2025! You can find Tammy hanging out on her Facebook page Tammy Toch Intuitive.
From us to you this holiday season, please accept this gift of meditation as inspiration to take a moment for yourself during a hectic time of year.
Love and blessings,
Mel & Tanya
This episode comes from a place of finally accepting that other peoples opinions of me don't have to matter. I used to be pushed and pulled by the opinions of others, wanting to protect myself from negative things being said or thought about me.
From over a decade of real life experience with negative perceptions and opinions, in 2024 I think I've really let it go. You don't have to see me the way I see myself. You can be stuck on whatever view you have of the world, me, yourself and none of it has to be true to me and influence the reality that I live in.
External validation does not define your worth is really landing for me and I hope if you're stuck in a people pleaser cycle, you find a way to still believe in you, for you.
Mel
This time of year it's common for the winter blues to creep up. Usually we're pretty good at fending it off until after the Christmas magic has died down - but it can sort of loom over our heads a little. I am sharing the concept of "Hygge" in this episode - and some ways (outside of physical and mental care) that we can insulate ourselves from the weight of winter. We deserve to find the magic and beauty through all seasons.
Jen Anderson is back! Well, at least for one episode she is. Tanya and Jen get into a chat about what the role of the mother entails. There's still a noticeable inequity between the role of dad, and the role of mom. There seems to be a lot of assumption about what jobs fall onto mother - whether or not she works outside of the home.
If you've been wishing for guidance from a wise medium, you've found her.
Tammy Toch is an intuitive guide, medium and author that has been practicing her craft long before it was cool. She approaches the mystical with a groundedness that makes the weird seem almost normal. Tammy shares moments like being told she should be in jail, learning she was a medium and how she has navigated some of the heavy moments that comes with the responsibility of sharing from beyond the veil. Don't miss this episode if you are an aspiring medium, practicing medium or just genuinely curious what it's like to have this extra sense.
You can find Tammy at https://www.tammytoch.com/ as well as keep up with her current trainings and free readings from her Facebook page Tammy Toch Intuitive
How many times have you had the very thing you've been asking for placed in front of you only to say no?
If it doesn't come the way we think it should, and even if it does, the ego finds a way to convince you that this isn't it, squashing any hopes of your manifestation coming true. Last year, I almost blocked two amazing things coming into my life and I break down what that looks like for you inside this episode.
Join us as Melanie shares her personal experience in finding her best friend Rex and truly opening up to receive despite wanting to say no.
Here are some of the times we had some stuff happen during a yoga class that made us what to shrink inside ourselves and die a little. But hopefully, it'll bring you a giggle. We'll absolutely make a part 2 of this one if you want to send in your own stories!
This was our attempt to recreate last year's skooky themed content - but we need more time to build up our ghost story repitoir. That said, we did get into some ways you can clear and cleanse your space if you have some unwelcome or undesired guests from another dimensional plane.
Welcome to Season 6 all! Hard to believe we've stuck it out this far. Thank you for continuing to join us on this journey! We are so excited to integrate some new ideas this year. Let us know what you want to see in this coming season.
One google search of commonly asked questions about energy work will show you how much fear is promoted keeping you scared to practice or receive energy work. Energy workers can get caught in a cycle of fear by practicing too much protection work - seems weird, right?
Fear is a vibration and if you're practicing protection alllll the time, you're in the vibration of fear - this translates to the Universe that you are not organically protected at all times.
I love cleansing rituals, don't get me wrong, but even those can turn into a cycle of fear - did you forget to open the window during your smoke clearing? Now all the spirits are stuck and coughing in your house (I kid...). Intention is everything.
I'll share a little about how I choose to approach protection in my life and energy work as a practitioner of over 10 years (almost 15!)
Being a rescuer is often confused with empath but this dynamic is two sided. Being a rescuer means finding someone to be rescued. This was me (Mel), I'm a recovering rescuer.
In this episode, I use the current reality show - Perfect Match as an incredibly accurate depiction of what a Rescuer and Rescued (victim) relationship looks like and share my own personal struggles with being a Rescuer.
Not only do I share juicy deets about myself, I also share how I've moved towards allowing myself to be rescued - which is what I was craving all along.
I had originally planned to talk about ALL the ways rescuing shows up but ran out of time, if you'd like to know more about Rescuing, message me on instagram @themelaniedawn or comment below
If you think you're a Rescuer - tune in!
Nicole Sayna is one of my favourite people and biggest joy to watch as she can manifest the sh*t outta anything! Nicole's joining the Mystics + Broomsticks podcast to talk about the real manual labor that goes into manifesting as well as the money wounds that are blocking you from not just money but almost everything in life. Want some inspiration and helpful guidance in achieving your goals, this is the podcast for you!
Prompted by a (hilarious) misdirected DM sent to Melanie by mistake about how naked yoga would NEVER be on the table, I thought it would be worth diving into why someone would do naked yoga and what it means to Tamara who has been teaching it throughout 2024.
We share our experiences about naked yoga, women's retreats and returning back to comfort in your own skin.
Clothes can keep people attached to identities offering a veil between you and another person, it's really different when you show up in only skin.
You can find Tamara, with clothes and maybe without ;) through instagram @omiesyoga108
How can you spot the con artists and scammers in the intuitive industry? There's a lot out there and sometimes it's tricky to tell. Here are some tips and tricks to keeping yourself safe when you want to book a reading!
Tanya was a guest on KC Volards Podcast a couple weeks ago. Make sure to check out KC's podcast and give her a follow. Her social media offers so much insight into business building and feminine entrepreneurship. @as.she.rises.co & @iamkcvolard
Have you ever been going through it and someone says "this is happening for you, not to you" and at that moment you could have pulled all your hair out but looking back you can see that it really was, even if it sucked. Unwanted advice can sting at times and other times it can block you from seeing the truth of a situation and really processing it. So many people get caught up in being the fixer when really all that's needed is a listener.
Have you ever had a deep rage manifest of behalf of a younger version of yourself? Perhaps an injustice - where the offender got off consequence-free? Tap into your rage and join in for this episode.
Melanie is an incredible reiki teacher - one that is able to unearth your own unique energetic signature and integrate that into your practice. If you've been considering ways to develop your own energetic practice, perhaps there's something here for you. Melanie details her origins in reiki and how it's shifted and changed as she's continued to practice and teach over the years.
Have you ever had a Thai Yoga Massage? Maybe this is your sign to try it. It's like nothing else out there.
I won't tell you what to believe... but I will share with you the experiences that have led me to question my beliefs, in addition to those that validate that we as a society don't have it all figured out. There's still so much to learn, and I wonder if in the future we'll have a better handle on what energy manipulation truly is and how it works. But for now, it's MAGICK.
Revisiting a topic with a new lens and perspective. What I once thought was a little overdone... I now can't do enough of!
Let me know what your thoughts are on this. And the book I referenced but couldn't find the title to: Protection Magick: Spells for Defence by Cassandra Eason
This episode is honestly embarassing. But Mel said to post it! So here it is. Come see me in all my emotional, muddled glory. Trying to navigate through my muddy feelings.
Join Melanie and special guest Jennifer Rurka talk about the SIT method that Jennifer uses when working as a Perception Facilitator with her clients and how she founded it through her own healing work. The See It Through method is a powerful and transformational approach to feeling and healing. You can learn more about it in Jennifer's book Soul Centered. To find her book, learn more or get in touch with Jennifer, visit her website at https://www.jenniferrurka.com/
I was a guest on Rebecca Meisl's podcast: The Spiritualist. We had a great conversation that delved into the tarot and intuition. Please consider following her on social media - and check out her podcast and her new book!
How do you know when you're stuck and what do you do about it? We have all felt stuck at times (maybe most of the time) in life and not sure how to break out of the stagnancy, circumstances and experiences that seem to be causing the feelings of "stuck". Tanya is brave in this one and shares her feelings on being stuck.
In this episode we talk about how to protect yourself from jealousy, why we think it happens to us and how this impacts your inner child. Not everyone gets jealous for the same reasons and we dig deeply into our own jealousy to share what we think is underneath it.
During this episode I talk about my experience with anxiety - how it manifests in my body, why it's there and what I'm doing about it.
I touch on spiritual bypassing in the form of meditation and how my life was being ruled by feelings that were programmed from old as dirt stories that are in need of a major overhaul - Mel
We had some laughs while exploring our toxic traits - and naturally digressed (as we do) into various other topics including the moral debate of whether it's okay to hex/curse people and send out the bad juju, the power of sex magick - and some other fun twists and turns along the way. What better way to bring in the New Year than with a little spice?
Kaicee Redpath is our special guest today! Tanya and Kaicee get into the power of reading fiction; and how developing your imagination also helps to develop your intuition.
If you're looking for some good reads to take in over the holidays - stay tuned. We'll offer up a few of our favorites, and a couple to stay away from.
Yule is on the way! An episode for my baby-witches and my witch-curious peeps. Perhaps you want to bring your spirituality into the holiday season but are unsure how to do that. I've given you a handful of little things you can do to make your season a little more magical.
I found a Yule Ritual that I am so excited about so I am giving you the details here. If you decide to try it, make sure you send me a message and let me know how it goes for you!
Our special guest Midnyte Sun shares a wealth of information on witchcraft, the importance of grounding and protection, who is a 'witch'? And so much more.
In this episode, Tanya and I take another crack at what's really going on under the surface of people pleasing. For myself, my view of why I do it changed from when we were originally talking about doing this episode and it took me a bit by surprise during our chat.
Would it shock you to think of a people pleaser as a control freak? Or someone who inherently thought of themselves as "bad" and trying to change the narrative of how they're seen. We dig into all of this inside here, plus a whole lot more!
Join us and let us know if you're a people pleaser - why you do it. We love connecting with you all
Tamara McLellan is a lionhearted woman, mother, sister, daughter, one half of the Wild Sky Sisters, and founder of Wild Breath.
She has taken the celebration of weddings and turned them into a whole ceremony that represents the life and death that is born out of a wedding. When two individuals merge to create a life together, aspects of their old selves and lives must die. As a wedding celebrant and death doula, she took this and made a wedding a sacred act of life and death, honoring both in equal weight.
If you're getting married, you won't want to miss this episode, what Tamara has to say may speak directly to your heart. Heck, it even has me wanting to get married again!

Nothing like the blind leading the blind. Join me on my journey through manifestation - one little baby step at a time.
Well...in this episode we talk about getting naked and doing yoga - what could go wrong?!
Tamara is someone who brings light to everything that she touches and during my summer of say less (Renos kept us home and closeby), Tamara was out there bopping to her summer of SAY YES and I loved watching every second. It made me think about the embodiment of the wild woman and how she is just like us but brave. Tamara has always been diving in feet first (with and without clothes on) and she shares with us more of what that's like to live without fear and just say YES.
Sometimes looking back on the stuff we've made, or the person we were evokes that 'ew' response within us. But that response has so much wisdom within it. Tanya unpacks her thoughts around why this is so important and how to leverage it to empower yourself in your creations and becoming the person you are.
Recently Tanya shared a reel from @mediuminthemiddle that discussed a client's discomfort with their past reiki session and it inspired me (Mel) to take a good look at my offerings as an energy worker, bringing good discussion between us about what is spiritual consent and how do you know what you're getting when you head into an energy session.
If you've been hit sideways with a session and got more than you signed up for, or are scared to book a session because of the what if's that could come along with it, this episode will give you a more candid look at what happens behind the scenes.
We love to hear from you! What's the weirdest, coolest, most embarrassing, most profound thing that's ever happened to you during an energy session?
Right now I'm going through a cold, dark and desolate season despite everything around me changing and so much good coming my way. I'm grieving the loss of my home for the last 15 years, the loss of my routine and a downswing in my business. I've had to lean into my spiritual practices and be so, so loving and compassionate for the winter season that I am coming out of.
Inside this episode, I share with you a practice that has held me through some of the most major transformations and initiations I've experienced to date - the practice of believing that "I already am". Whatever I think I want (or need) to become, I already am. It's a powerful healing tool to release you from the anxiousness that often attaches to this human form.
Cash is King. Gotta pay them billzzz. But sometimes money can seem illusive or exclusive. In this episode there's a process that Tanya shares that could give you a different approach and get your money with some energy work - instead of it always feeling like werkwerkwerk.
This skims the surface on talking about the implications of jealousy, envy, and how it shows up in our energetic spaces.
A mixed bag of topics as we are both a little more vulnerable and messy than usual. It was a come as you are type of podcast day. We are feeling those Pisces Season vibes, and are chatting about stressors, the impacts of stress, people pleasing, emotional labour.
Hang out with us while we walk through a mishmash of things!
One from the archives! In this episode we have all three of the OG Spiritual Boss ladies on deck discussing triggers. Why they show up, some of our coping mechanisms, and various other thoughts around triggers.
When I (Melanie) first became a yoga teacher, I had to heal my relationship with my voice before I could effectively stand in front of a room of people and move them to their breath. Inside this episode, Dawna Zimmer shares pieces of her healing journey and the profound effect Yoga Nidra's had on her belief systems while working with "I am safe" as a compass back to herself.
After we were done talking, Dawna sent me this - The one thing to add, just personally, is that I turned a corner with nidra when I had been stuck at that same level of healing for a while. Finally feeling that safety thru Sankalpa was transformative.
And I couldn’t agree more. I’ll shout from the rooftops the healing power of this practice. Hope you enjoy!
How though? It sounds like a bit of a paradox. You can't be fake and be real at the same time... or can you? Tanya chats through the ins and outs of some confidence hacks that help get into the real, authentic YOU.
Melanie Dawn chats with Wildsky Sisters about the upcoming year in astrology and how we can prepare for the possible shifts that are coming! What don't we talk about with Wild Sky? Almost nothing! Grab your tea or coffee and settle in to listen to my favorite astrolgers do the work they were born to do while also still tackling being mothers, entrepreneurs, business partners and incredible humans.
My favorite quote from the podcast of what's coming up this year "You are the Lion"
Join the convo between Tanya and Mel as we talk about the inevitable feelings of being misunderstood, how it can hold you back and when to say f* it - I'm going all in on being me! We also touch on the unexplainable, unpredictable mom anger that can pop up when you see your kids get hurt. How we’re trying to learn to hold space for ourselves while holding space for others. Learning to sit with discomfort and how morbidly excited we are for to be in self study mode (again. always)
Stephanie Rose from Westrose Media is on the podcast today with Tanya, talking about big leaps, and confronting fear in order to make big changes.
Join Melanie for a reflective practice to close off the year. You can use this journal practice to close off the energy to any event, time or experience by changing the wording and using the same line of questions. Endings are often overlooked and not honoured in a way that creates openness moving forward. Let 2023 be your year.
What are your New Year's Vibes? We chat about what we're going into this year with, and some things that we've done in the past. And of course, naturally digress into various other branches of conversations. As we do...
Take a walk through memory lane with Melanie. I take you through some of the most important moments of my life including: postpartum depression, self sabotage, self loathing and the freedom of my voice that ultimately led me to where I am now. This episode includes the first time I ever felt someone else's energy, my melanoma diagnosis, and my yoga journey.
This episode is with Tanya. We dive into the origin of her spiritual adventure, and how it's evolved throughout the years.
In this episode, Tanya and Melanie contemplate if Intuition is a natural born gift or a skill that you acquire throughout life. Then we take a hard right and move into "is what I'm feeling mine or theirs". This is a question I (Melanie) hear so much. I've sat with it for a long time and come to the same conclusion EVERY SINGLE TIME. If you are an empath that frequently "picks up" other peoples emotions, you won't want to miss this one!
You're probably already meditating and have no clue that you're even doing it because we are so bogged down in rules and stigmas about what is meditation and what isn't meditation.
In this episode, I (Melanie) talk about how I'm still able to meditate at waking and moving points throughout my day, and if that wasn't enough already, how I'm healing outdated programming that isn't working for me anymore. I've used this technique of awareness to heal my relationship with anger and rage, shame and guilt, causing me to be self destructive and harmful. And, I've also used it to create success in my business - woo hoo!
Needless to say, I'm a fan, and think you should be, too!
This episode takes a turn into what healing can look like and how spontaneously we can release stored trauma as Melanie recounts a traumatic memory that has been surfacing for her as her and Tanya get ready to celebrate Samhein in a women's circle held by Blue Moon Wyld. There are a few longer pauses that are asking for space to be held. We share some of our go to methods of dealing with fear and we hope to hear back from you on how you work with fear - the emotion that is asking us to look in the darker, out of sight, places.
To protect or not to protect. That is the question. Or is it how much protection? Or when to protect. Join in while special guest, witch, reiki practitioner, candle maker Kira Gregory chats with Tanya Ryan about the ins and outs of protection practices.
In this episode, Ang and Mel share their own personal experiences with their moon cycles (bleed), and how knowledge of the blood mysteries has reclaimed their relationship with themselves.
Women are awakening, once again, to the true and natural power that is contained in knowing and honouring their monthly cycle. Your cycle has a unique link to the phases of the moon, learn how to honor each phase as you do the moon. Even if your cycle has stopped, you will find this episode interesting!
Sometimes life and humaning are just kind of chaotic and it's hard to fit in time to do full rituals or spell work. Here are some ways that you can fit witchery into your everyday life in an entirely unremarkable but highly effective way.
After a gorgeous season off, Tanya and Melanie return to The Spiritual Boss podcast to bring you wherever their joint and individual evolutions take them. In this episode we catch up with each other and discuss the symbolism of what autumn equinox means as well as free styling a joint meditation at the end! Let us know if you want to hear more meditation in the future. Glad to be back!
Some of the most healing experiences I have had in my life have been in a circle with women. Did I choose my first circle willingly? Nope! I honestly don't think I would have gone into that kind of work willingly. I had the belief that I had to do it all alone. Women throughout the course of history have gathered and supported each other in collaboration, connection and community. After the rise of the patriarchy, we were isolated, disconnected and alone. This created a sister wound or a woman's wound. Incredible healing can take place when we can sit with each other, see and be seen, hear and be heard, without anyone trying to alter or change the way that we feel. This is what sisterhood has meant for me. Join me, Melanie Dawn, as I welcome Terra Dawn Allison and Shelley Duret to share with us their experience in a Sisterhood.
Often overlooked as something that is always present, breath doesn't require any direct attention to function in the background and keep your whole life vital. This is why many of us miss the incredible medicine that breath is. Mindfully breathing can directly influence the state of your physical, mental and emotional health as a direct tool of communication to your autonomic systems.
Whitney joins Melanie Dawn to share how using breath as medicine has changed the course of her life, freeing her from binge eating and self destructive patterns to become a strong leader in the field of Breathwork Facilitation
We say farewell and best wishes to a friend of ours that has been so incredibly impactful for us throughout this podcast journey.
When you are overwhelmed by emotions and life - what's your go-to? How do you give yourself what you need to heal? We talk about the default mechanisms we have that might be less effective or healthy - as well as some that feel like they are truly alchemizing those emotions into a more healthy space.
Today's episode features various chats and techniques that could help you monetize and market your spiritual-based business; some alternative methods that might feel different than some of the ways that we've been taught that 'work' and ensure that you're working in alignment with your authentic self.
How many times have you known that you were wrong but held on and not known why? In this episode we look at our own relationships with fear of being wrong and the shame that comes attached to it.
Melanie and Tanya jump into a discussion about the business aspects of spirituality. The challenges that come up when starting your spiritually-based business, as well as the conflict between optics and reality.
We take you on a wild ride that goes in many, many different directions. Without Tanya there to direct us, we are pretty wild on our own! In this episode, Melanie and Jen look at the state of the world, what we're seeing and what we want to see happen. Let us know what you think!
Jen here this week! On this episode, one of my FAVE topics to chat about! Manifesting, likely you haven't heard it explained in this way. Think of boiling water on the quick boil setting, only takes a few minutes and a lot of precipitation occurs, right? I dive into how to "quick boil" your desires.
I talk about my program Untethered a few times in here, if this hit a ping for you check out the link in my bio on IG @iamjenanderson
In this episode, Melanie talks to Kari-Lynn of Solfull Nutrition and breaks down easy to incorporate healthy habits and supplements to keep you mind and body healthy. A breast cancer thriver, mother and nutrition coach, Kari-Lynn has a story that speaks to many of us. You can find her on instagram @solfullnutrition and at www.solfullnutrition.com
It sounds demeaning - but I flipped it in my brain and it became the most liberating statement ever. I am not important - I don't need to be. I am here simply to exist. And that's a really (humbling but) cool feeling.
We got into a discussion about what triggers us and how we manage those triggers as they do arise. The ways we've failed to manage them - and some successful strategies.
Have you ever felt like you are living your life on repeat? Despite making every effort to change, the same cycles keep forming? In this episode, Melanie takes us through how subconscious programming and past wounds are creating our current reality.
I think we can alllll agree that this last two years have been an emotional rollercoaster at times. To think that our nervous system hasn't been effected, would be kinda silly?
I want you to see how our nervous systems are linked to manifesting. How our emotions determine our outcomes. THIS IS NOT ABOUT BEING all sunshine and rainbows.
I talk about tears, fears, dreams and everything in between LOL
Lots of love,
Jen
Jen and Tanya discuss manifesting, money, and some of the blocks and hurdles that arise when you are attempting to call in new and bigger things. Limiting-beliefs, getting out of your own way - and it just skims the surface. Let us know if we need a part 2 episode!
Stepping into the New Year with perhaps a different approach in effort to realize your goals in a real way. Balancing your energy with that of the season, as well as the divine feminine and masculine.
Jen here!
My end of the year practice has shifted a bit.
This practice and then meditation will help you reflect on this past year in a deeper way, to bring the wisdom into 2022. Followed by a meditation for your future self.
Do not do the meditation portion while driving or operation heavy equipment hahaha.
Happy New Year beautiful souls.
Tanya explains the energies each moon cycle carries with it, as well as the coinciding energies of the Maiden, Mother, and Crone; and how to incorporate these energies into your life and your work to create more internal ease.
What are some ways that you can incorporate Yule into your life? We chat about Yule, wintertime, and various ways you can bring the energy of this cycle into your holiday season.
It's the most wonderful time... or the most busy time? The most hyper-sensitive emotional time? ... What time of year is it for you? For some it's the best time and for others it's a constant re-negotiation of inner-resources and emotional management. We talk about our experiences with the holidays, and some various ways we've managed what comes at us during the holiday season.
In this episode of the Spiritual Boss Podcast, Melanie chats with the Wild Sky Sisters about all things astrology. These two incredible women are powerful channels of astrological and intuitive insights speaking in the language of the heart. The Wild Sky Sisters make the complex seem digestible and relatable without much effort at all. They speak to the Sun, Moon, and Rising signs - what they mean, and how they relate to you. They also answer one of the most burning questions in astrology today - what do I do if I don't know the time of my birth.
Please check them out on instagram @wildskysisters and their website https://www.wildskysisters.ca
Not the first time we've done it... but yet another view of the term 'empath' through a slightly different lens. Some of the shadow aspects of what it means to be an empath - and how to create more self awareness.
There is so much to be said about the transformative effects the practice of Yoga Nidra has on the body, but it's also used as a profound tool for Spiritual awakening, rewriting limiting beliefs and creating more peace within your life. Join Jen and Mel and they touch briefly on the magic that exists within the world of consciousness.

We like to dig into the ugly stuff... and this episode is no exception. So often we discuss our perspective as empaths and dealing with the manipulation of others. But what if we are the ones doing the manipulating?
Are you developing your intuition? Do you want to learn to tap into it in a more concrete way? Tanya goes over a handful of ways you can strengthen your intuitive connection.
In this episode, I (Jen) go deep into the anchors that hold us back from our desires becoming our reality. It's all about the feeling we desire, not the actual, tangible items.
I go into how to build your manifestation in the 5D for you to bring it into your 3D reality, as well as share how this held me back FOREVER.
We talk a bit about dreams, symbolism, and our interpretation of that experience... and then the conversation takes off in another direction (as it always does with us...).
Purpose - Drowning out the Noise
If you’re in a constant state of comparison, you will always find some sort of evidence that makes you feel like you need to do or be more. If you’re looking out instead of looking in, you’ll never know exactly how special this gift inside YOU is.
The real gift, the real purpose is in looking in. Follow that compass. Trust that this is your purpose in every step. Your purpose isn’t waiting for you to suffer for 56 years to come. It’s happening right here, right now. YOU are your purpose.

Jen & Sara Stepa go deep into what it FEELS like to be in the dark night of the soul. Sara is open and real how it felt through the process of stepping into her deeper purpose even when it wasn't logical. The discomfort of not making the decision, the indecision that led to the decision to make the big leap.
The dark night of the soul can feel extremely uncomfortable, until we fully surrender to not knowing the steps, we just take them one at a time.
Can some of those things that have been deemed unhealthy coping mechanisms... be healthy and spiritual too?
We discuss our diverse feelings around coping mechanisms, taking breaks from spirituality, the impact of unhealthy coping mechanisms, and what that looks like in each of our lives.
In this episode Jen interviews Matthew Patti, the modern day mystic, futurist, bender of reality, disguised as a High Performance Coach.

Our SB Melanie Dawn interviews a Foothills entrepreneur, local clothing designer, and intuitive: Paige Callaway, from the brand Paige 1912 and Pursue Victory.

Do you choose your family? Is there a soul-plan that's sort of mapped out prior to our arrival on the planet?
In this week's episode I share with you the year end practice I have done the last few years. I cry (in a good way 😂) every time. It's a beautiful way to reflect on the year, and I think we can all agree this year didn't go as planned.
I touch on why dream/vision boards often don't work; how to put your dreams in the speed lane of your quantum highways and how we can look at lack differently for each of us.
Lots of love to you all in 2021!
