Stop slamming the door on yourself. Tune in for a chat on how we slam the door on our own desires — and the invitation to leave it open a little longer, to hang out in the new territory, and welcome the new.

When you can’t just “let it go”, or when you know you want to change but you just can’t get there, when affirmations don’t seem to work… what is behind it? Why?? In this episode, I talk about how to bring compassion in with understanding the spectrum of momentum and density of energy at play.

Need better sleep? Get the Sound Sleep Alchemy Album! The Sound Sleep Alchemy Album was born from inspiration of my own, clients’, friends’, colleagues’, and family’s struggles with stressful or restless sleep, insomnia, waking up in the middle of the night, night terrors and nightmares, and more, as simple sleep hygiene tips did not always work. In my own experiences of terrible insomnia, I needed to go deeper to get to deep sleep; to the root. I am happy to share that I now have restful sleep and when I don’t, I have ways to support myself. Enjoy this culmination of many ancient and modern traditions including Somatic Experiencing, yoga tantra, Ayurveda, spiritual and energetic practices, scientifically-informed and embodied healing techniques, Chinese Medicine, and Family & Systemic Constellations.

When love forces its way and you surrender to the Mystery of what life brings you, the dance of the unknown and the present moment of delight. A poem for lovers who want to control… where Love cannot be tamed.
About [reverie] on The Embody Podcast: Spiritual Succulents
The sweetness, agony, delight, joy, freshness, and fullness of what is — This is Beauty. Here is my ongoing attempt to embrace the All — all that is — including the depths of the unseen yet known, in a Life of Beauty.
[Reverie] emerges as a creative outlet for pieces of me, experiments, parts of process, artistry, in any form that honors or interacts with Being. Conversations with the pulse of Life itself… with Beauty. They are gifts from Life to me and to you if it is for you to hear.
As a play with the dimensions of Being, I invite you to listen as if you are speaking and all the same, as I am speaking. Without pressure to make sense but to let what wants to flow into any part of your being do so freely — to get LOST.
Enjoy in your own way.

The moon
3.16.22
The moon nearly full As big as the heart you stole
You took it and hid She knew what you did
Give it back She screamed But Love still beamed
Peeking out uncertain A tender kiss behind the curtain
Mystery and Moon whisper a fate Whilst they await her shape
No matter, let’s not waste this wane As she makes a round again
My darling, my heart and the Moon I’ll see you all until soon

Here I go Through the tunnel again I don’t know who I’ll be On the other end
Let go, dissemble Crumble, I sigh How many times In this life Must I die
To be The pheonix I must unknow I must get bare To Let me Grow
There’s only one flow That is mine So I get in Oh please, be Divine
Bittersweet Surrender I give in to the abyss I’m reminded It’s a given …I can’t miss

This is a sound healing and transmission using my voice to get in touch with and allow those feelings to flow. If the news has touched you or if you are having any emotions in your life, I encourage you to let it come forward. This was my way to honor what was coming through me. I am imagining light around all those impacted.

On the topic of your wants and needs being unique to you and not up for debate or comparison, being selfish, and worthiness. Many people have been told by society or those around them that their needs are too much – the baseline of what is too much is someone else’s experience, external. Reset the baseline back to you!

About [reverie] on The Embody Podcast: Spiritual Succulents
The sweetness, agony, delight, joy, freshness, and fullness of what is — This is Beauty. Here is my ongoing attempt to embrace the All — all that is — including the depths of the unseen yet known, in a Life of Beauty.
[Reverie] emerges as a creative outlet for pieces of me, experiments, parts of process, artistry, in any form that honors or interacts with Being. Conversations with the pulse of Life itself… with Beauty. They are gifts from Life to me and to you if it is for you to hear.
As a play with the dimensions of Being, I invite you to listen as if you are speaking and all the same, as I am speaking. Without pressure to make sense but to let what wants to flow into any part of your being do so freely — to get LOST.
Enjoy in your own way.

How I learned about the Wisdom of Silence in my ancestry…
A reason I was shy when I was younger…
And revealing why I felt unspeakable loss when I was young.
About [reverie] on The Embody Podcast: Spiritual Succulents
The sweetness, agony, delight, joy, freshness, and fullness of what is — This is Beauty. Here is my ongoing attempt to embrace the All — all that is — including the depths of the unseen yet known, in a Life of Beauty.
[Reverie] emerges as a creative outlet for pieces of me, experiments, parts of process, artistry, in any form that honors or interacts with Being. Conversations with the pulse of Life itself… with Beauty. They are gifts from Life to me and to you if it is for you to hear.
As a play with the dimensions of Being, I invite you to listen as if you are speaking and all the same, as I am speaking. Without pressure to make sense but to let what wants to flow into any part of your being do so freely — to get LOST.
Enjoy in your own way.

A dream gave me the chills and I wanted to share it with you!
I woke up from this dream feeling a DIRECT EXPERIENCE OF MAGIC. It showed me how I was making obstacles for myself between me and joy itself — you know — feeling like I had to earn a badge of honor or earn my own worthiness… earn joy.
This dream brought me healing and a clear picture of how I could go straight to pleasure and joy. Out of the dream came a poem — one that might stir your own awareness of going straight for what you desire: living directly in your worthiness and in joy.

You are the substance of all possibility! Here’s a simple mind trick that you can play with to step into creative prowess and aspects of yourself that feel blocked.

16:33 Outro
Like being naked - a tree with the leaves gone. Loss and grief… waiting in the in-between, the void.
The place where things are born.
I had forgotten what it was like to have the intensity of expansion break my body and shadow world into pieces that demanded to be seen – I felt like I was dying inside. The aloneness - that in some ways (not all!), you must go this journey alone.
Until - I read an excerpt from Osho reminding me of what an ego-death experience feels like, and that this is a very human experience!
“Enraged in Wrath, Lie Down as Dead.” ~Osho
Tune into this episode where I read Osho’s meditation as a guided experience, along with another piece of his writing that offered me soothing and awareness.

You are sooo worthy of pleasure! In every area of your life.
Pleasure can be tangled up with so much - our worthiness, betrayal of others if we have pleasure, whether we are selfish or self-centered, responsibility, and indulgence.
In this episode, I talk about all this including how being in YOUR pleasure brings more to yourself and others, as well as how we can untangle the soul’s desire to love by not having and allow a deeper way to love - by having and being in your worth. This can connect straight to your bonds to your ancestry and humanity itself. This episode is also a reminder that you are deeply free, and a discussion about what we actually say to others when we decline or deprive our own pleasure.

The full magic of giving thanks can be supported with bringing the body into the experience: staying in the good feels longer & savoring the things you’re grateful for.
Plus bonus benefits! Vibration, appreciation & stabilization.
Embodied Gratitude supports your vibrational clarity, it allows the Beauty of your life to appreciate, and brings stability and safety to your nervous system.
In this episode, I also talk about how the pleasant can serve the integration and healing of the unpleasant, as well as how a simple mountain biking tip can help you literally and emotionally balance your head through life’s bumps and ditches.

If you have a reaction to Trump (or to Biden), what does that bring forward for you?
How are we just like that which we despise?
How can we harness the energy of what we dispose of or discard instead?
A reality check on our own shadow and a call to come into our own empowerment as we near the 2020 presidential election…
This episode is on sensing into the deeper energies and dynamics of what’s happening in the world and in your life rather than the surface level information, how Trump has perhaps served a purpose in wholeness, and how we can shift from projection to response-ability and harmony through your shadow.
Also a personal sharing about how Trump triggers memories of my childhood father and how a family constellation supported me in balance and healing.

This episode is a rerun of EP30 which was originally published on 2018–07–23.
What do you do when you’ve absorbed others’ energy or emotions?
How do you know if you have?
How do you stay grounded and have clear energetic boundaries so that you don’t pick up what’s not yours?
Are you an Empath?
Do you have the experience that you’re like a magnet or velcro to others’ negative feelings, leaving you fatigued and irritable?
Perhaps you’re not sure whether what you feel is yours or someone else’s.
This episode is all about energy, how to deal with others’ energies, sorting and releasing absorbed energy or emotions from your own, and strengthening your own energetic field. From tips and tools to stay grounded being an empath or empathic, all the way down to the core beliefs and ways of being that open you up to receiving or feeling responsible for others’ energy.
Following the Podcast are three healing experientials to support your energetic strength, clarity and awareness:
- Sorting and Clearing your Vibration
- Getting on the Grid: Grounding and Anchoring into the Universal Order
- Healing Experiential: Ancestral Order – Clearing up Energetic Responsibility and Receiving the Best
- A Family Constellations experiential to support you in clearing up unconscious bonds of responsibility where responsibility is not yours, releasing you of emotions or energies that belong someone else in your lineage, and shifting you into your true and natural position to fully receive the best of your family system while leaving the rest.

The effects of falls and accidents or other impacts on the physical body can accumulate over time if there was something that the body wanted to do that it didn’t get to.
Especially when it comes to the need to protect yourself where you didn’t get to, the body holds the impulse of that survival energy in its viscera, muscles, and joints.
I’ve seen where accidents from years ago can still have an effect on the body, energy, and emotional state now. Sometimes the body, even if the mind knows differently, doesn’t register that you ARE safe and ok.
In this Episode: Recognize the symptoms of falls and accidents, how accidents and falls can bring up other trauma including relational, attachment, and sexual, and tips to bring your body back into safety and renegotiate these traumas.

Money dances with you by showing you your state of being live.

Money issues may reflect a wound in your soul that desires to be healed.
What’s hidden in your money consciousness?
What have you inherited about money?
In this episode, a chat about the story of money in your psyche, worthiness and value, bringing joy to your relationship with money, and the multidimensional resources you might open to — money being just one of them.

In this Episode, how a No Strings Attached Sexual Relationship Experience and a Mountain Bike fall brought me to a more whole unification, marriage with myself, and more expansive freedom within.
Conscious dating, self-honesty, authentic relating, existential loss, fluidity between polyamory and monogamy, releasing relationships from co-dependency and control and where I’m doing that, and seeing people from a place of harmony and freedom.
The layers of self-discovery and gifts of deep experiencing…
Also, a live Angel Card reading for myself :) that is pretty interesting.

How can you harness the energy of anger to LOVE YOURSELF and feel confident?
We have been conditioned (and sometimes by experience) to believe that anger is a bad thing or that it is destructive.
While it can turn ugly, let’s get back to Anger’s TRUE intentions: to show us our deeper desires, to protect us, and to give us the embodied knowledge that we are powerful, capable and creative.
Anger gets a bad rap!
We need to reclaim it so we can truly heal and know ourselves, to be back in alignment with our ease and truth.
In this Episode, we explore:
- The messages we get about anger and what stops us from expressing
- The depression, numbness, lack of confidence, shame, physical illnesses and other symptoms that happen when we repress our anger
- Global and community repercussions of not claiming our own anger
- How to work with your own anger to discharge the energy, use it intentionally and constructively
- Respecting the power of anger and it’s true desires: to protect our creative freedom, safety, and where we need to grow
Check out the Healing Experientials to support a completion of your anger/fight responses, feeling more ease in your body as you release the tension of the “red energy.”
This episode comes with three additional experientials which are released in the week following this podcast.

This episode is a rerun of a previous episode on The Embody Podcast while I am on a short restorative hiatus.
When you’re depressed, paralyzed, shut down, or dissociated — knowing what is happening can support healing and a compassionate look at the body and how it’s trying to protect us and adapt. This episode is a practical and scientifically-based discussion about understanding the basics of the nervous system in overwhelm or trauma. By noticing the signs, you can support your body in feeling more safety, resilience, and capacity with very basic tools.
We are so used to going in the hard stuff of our lives and overriding and pushing beyond what our bodies need. This can create an auto override and autopilot — are we really here in our hearts and bodies?
In this episode, I share many signs of nervous system overwhelm, 12 things to do to support and heal trauma, a bit of Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Experiencing, and the way our nervous systems can be affected in relationships. The more I have understood the nervous system, the more compassion I have been able to feel for others and humanity.
How can we understand our nervous systems through animal behavior? Find out in this episode. I also bring forward questions I like to ask myself: How much of me is here? Where is my awareness/what is the quality of it? How am I in my body?
Next week, I will share three experientials that are connected to this episode.

The Body reflects any habitual patterns in your life — shake up the body’s movement and gestures to create something new in your life! The body needs to integrate the new territory and energy to full inhabit what’s unfamiliar.
Whether it is more abundance, the ability to receive love, a shift towards a new way of being, etc… this can support that in an embodied way. What’s the opposite movement of the gesture that comes with your typical story, your problem, or what you always experience?
This process supports you to develop a pathway between what you are used to and the new road where the body starts to know it organically, fluidly, and flexibly.

It’s uncomfortable when someone discards or disavows a hurt part of themselves, their shadow, and it comes lashing towards you. Or, when you’re triggered and you need some distance and boundary to feel emotionally safe. This experiential is to support sensing the context of the other person, creating harmony with distance, and restoring energetic and physical boundaries.

“Not taking things personally” can be a tough job being a human with emotions and a body! When criticism, harshness, judgment, lashing out, gaslighting, and other reactions from another person can hit us where it hurts, here are some tools to support healing and resolving where it hurts so it’s not just a forced “tough skin” but an organic neutrality or wholeness that leaves us able to be present to what is.
Work with ways to heal the shadow and allow harmony where others push their shadow parts your way. A deep love for yourself, which is loving for all.
At the very least, to digest the emotions we feel when triggered and to experience separation and boundary that gives us room to breathe, feel safer, and more loved from the inside.
Two experientials follow this episode next week where I guide you through a shift through distance and space, boundary, forgiveness, and separation from dependency, as well as to look towards and heal the part of us that gets wounded.

Destruction, dismantling, burning things up. A quiet clearing, despair, grieving, integration, dust settling. Looking. When it’s time to create anew and there’s space for sweet tendrils and sprouts, what do you align, anchor, or calibrate to? For me it’s pleasure in a deep and whole way, yet sweet and joyful.
In this episode, I talk about the ripening of difficult feelings in uncomfortable situations, respecting yourself and seeing the spiritual agenda, and some recent experiences that triggered some Chinese American ancestral dynamics. And that I’m home in Michigan and what I’m doing here now!

Tentative and tender — quivery and sweet.
Get lost into love, get lost from the roadmap.
Everything is a nudge, back to home, to yourself.
Life exists as you. Play. Whales, the pulse of the Ocean.
This [reverie] episode is a channeled message from from the Ocean — While it is spoken through me, they may be your words too.
You exist here and inherently belong. It’s a given.
Do I let myself change? Do I really let the guards come down?
I want to be simply and naturally who I am.
Your most important shape is the shape of now.
Being in Delight.
The way of true being.
Get swept away by Life. The Sweetness.
That which we already are.
I invite you to journey and to take it in as an energetic download — to reveal pieces of yourself, to stir, shake, heal or hug you into yourSelf, into Love. A spiritual succulent like a yummy probiotic: a bit of Candy for the soul.

Your Aliveness knows its way…
I invite you to journey and to take it in as an energetic download — to reveal pieces of yourself, to stir, shake, heal or hug you into yourSelf, into Love. A spiritual succulent like a yummy probiotic: a bit of Candy for the soul.
About [reverie] on The Embody Podcast: Spiritual Succulents
The sweetness, agony, delight, joy, freshness, and fullness of what is — This is Beauty. Here is my ongoing attempt to embrace the All — all that is — including the depths of the unseen yet known, in a Life of Beauty.
[Reverie] emerges as a creative outlet for pieces of me, experiments, parts of process, artistry, in any form that honors or interacts with Being. Conversations with the pulse of Life itself… with Beauty. They are gifts from Life to me and to you if it is for you to hear.
As a play with the dimensions of Being, I invite you to listen as if you are speaking and all the same, as I am speaking. Without pressure to make sense but to let what wants to flow into any part of your being do so freely — to get LOST.
Enjoy in your own way.

Inner freedom supports freedom for ALL.
In this episode: a Conversation about the Amy Cooper and Christian Cooper video, the way my body expressed reactions and perceptions towards Black people, and an experiential here for you to open your own body-based exploration around people who are different from you.
It is your body that holds reactions and unconscious sentiments towards others that contribute to racism.
No matter who you are, black, brown, white, yellow, and every person in between — going deeper means looking at your body’s reactions. Along with any actions that your heart feels called to, if you want freedom for those you love and care about — for Black people, for all people — hold space for what is held in your own body and digest it.
If you don’t involve your own body in healing racism or in anti-racism, or in supporting BLM or another race movement, it has a risk to be only be performative, not go deep enough, or to perpetuate the underlying dynamics.
This experiential is an invitation to use systemic constellations and embodied witnessing to look at what may be living in your body that contributes (probably unknowingly) to systemic racism.
I invite you to be gentle and honest with yourself and open to what your body’s experience is of the “other” or someone you perceive as different. This is where racism can be healed.
When you heal your body’s experience and the unconscious lived experience, the world around changes.
Build your ability to respond to your own reactions and to respond in the world instead of react — your Response-ability.
This is inner freedom. Inner freedom supports freedom for ALL.

I stand with Black people and see you. I stand with all the people who desire that Black people have the right to live and breathe.
Witnessing the protests from Mexico that are happening as a result of systemic violence on Black folks (re-ignited by George Floyd and many that have died at the hands of the police) has inspired me to talk vulnerably and candidly about some experiences where I noticed my own racism coming to the surface — fears that have been held through my ancestry.
I speak to how I can have the best of intentions, and still find something that its racist — and what I did about it.
Racism is held in the body.
No matter how well intentioned it is to say, “I believe in equality,” — there are likely some unconscious ways that your body experiences something else, likely rooting in trauma — a wound of your own, your ancestry’s, your culture’s, or your past lives/dimensional experiences’.
This is also an invitation, whoever you are and for all that are interested, to have some gentleness in being with whatever you feel — no matter what it is.
That’s the most essential part of healing our systemic race issues — is acknowledging what is there — what you feel and the beliefs and attitudes that reveal through your body.
This is an invitation to look at your own lived wounds and beliefs — the ones you hide from yourself — that give way to a collective experiences of racism.

When the structures of your previous ways of being dismantle and crumble — what do you calibrate to?
Pleasure! What is for you is coded into your vibrational blueprint through pleasure.
In this episode, use pleasure as your compass and embody complete action: prajña (PRAH-gee-ah).
Heal the cycles of constant doing in order “to have and be happy” — come into being and vibrational clarity — creating from a place that is complete unto itself and likely brings gifts beyond fathomable because they are so in line with who you are, and given in your place here.

Have you felt like you don’t belong here?
Some intense feelings of grief and existential aloneness led me to finding more of myself: my multidimensional being and a family in the star system. I have mentioned it before, but this time, it demanded a greater attention and acceptance. This time, I felt a huge loss of having left my spiritual family somewhere out there.
If this story interests you or you’re finding yourself on this journey, tune in to this unraveling of an extension of my being, another place I found belonging, resource, and freedom, how my judgments had blocked my intuition, knowing, and peace in my body.

This episode is a rerun of a previous episode on The Embody Podcast while I am on a short restorative hiatus.
This episode is about how to sort out your inner chatter and reactive patterns with Parts Work. If you’ve seen the movie Inside Out, you’ve gotten a simplified taste of how your inner world may look. With many parts of us talking and acting at different times, it’s helpful to know their motives, fears, desires, agendas, purpose, and function in your inner dynamic.
Explore and embrace the parts of yourself so you can feel clarity and deeper awareness, heal the wounded or diminished parts, know what part of yourself is acting in various situations, and lead from your Self - from aligned intention. The idea that we have everything within us to heal can be easily accessed with Voice Dialogue as we open up inner gifts, wisdom, and strengths while healing wounds within.
Enjoy guided healing experiences that will walk you through dialoguing with and embodying the parts of yourself.

Where do you exploit or override your body’s or inner messages — what is the price you pay?
Do you push and pressure yourself to exhaustion or drain?
In this guided experience, we will restore gentleness and respect to the body and align to pleasure as an inner compass. We work with self-forgiveness for judgments on yourself — ways you’ve exploited yourself, ways you put too much pressure, feeling not enough, and overriding your body’s needs and desires.

Navigate your cravings and addictions to loosen up their intensity and bring healing in this somatic experiential. In this time of Covid19, there are many things we cannot have or do. We may be stripped to see ourselves bare in some ways.
With cravings and addictions, we have a keyhole into knowing what it is that lives under the surface that drives these actions and ways of coping. It is also the opening for more empowerment and self-love.
Food addictions and cravings, substances, activities, connections, and relationships — depending on how and from which place of ourselves we reach for these may be a dependency or a way to protect ourselves from discomfort.
Note: There’s nothing wrong with how you have adapted as your addictions may have their own wisdom, though you may want to find greater freedom and depth of self-knowing.

What does it mean to be open, transparent, and honest? When it means discovering you are polyamorous, there may be challenges and surprises that come. Dr. Terri Fernandez talks about the journey in discovering she is polyamorous at heart while being compassionate in a monogamous marriage. Her experience includes a depth of fear and hurt, as well as joys. She shares her own body reactions, partner reactions and some major losses on the journey. Also, questions about how you set up life as polyamorous especially being in a monogamous marriage and what is commitment? How can you be fully honest?
Terri and I mutually discuss past generations and pressures, what family constellations has to do with a Poly view, what life would be like if Poly were always an option, repression is a superpower, how we each discovered our own polyamorous journeys.
Clinically trained with a specialization in forensic psychology, Dr. Fernandez now works exclusively with our veterans in the Department of Veterans Affairs. Providing primarily trauma-informed, evidence-based therapies to treat PTSD, she uses her integrative theoretical orientation and certified training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help our veterans process traumatic experiences with present-moment awareness, as well as address other psychological difficulties from a non-judgmental and compassionate approach. Terri Fernandez, Psy.D. is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist.
Terri is a native Texan, reformed gamer, and wannabe lichenologist. She returned to her hometown of Texas (currently based in Austin) after living and training in Chicago, Kansas City MO, and Gainesville FL.

In this guided experiential, develop your relationship to your inner knowing and intuition — strengthen the muscles of your heart, inner attunement, and body wisdom. I lead you through a Blind Constellation of tuning into three pieces of your life so that you can clarify and fortify your relationship with your many inner messaging systems.
It’s so essential to follow what is true to you — and it feels increasingly important in times of uncertainty and unknown. It is vital to loving yourself to do what’s for you to do, and not what you feel you “should” or was part of a past plan. Alignment in the present requires trust in your body’s response system as well as understand where your capacity is in terms of what parts of this response system is disconnected or has static (trauma, unconscious or unintegrated aspects of yourself). Also, a brief exploration about fears and resistances to inner trust.

How much capacity do you have to be honest about who you are today on your journey? Instead of covering up parts of yourself or polishing them to perfection or false prettiness — to move through your life honestly and to see others in their moment to moment existence, experience, and reactions as well?
I’ve often struggled with sharing myself in an honest way. Sometimes that’s my feelings or opinions, and sometimes that’s just fear of certain parts of me being exposed.
Listen in on how I feel called to be more directly and clearly myself and all the fears that come up with it. Do you have similar fears of being yourself and speaking your truth?
Identity crisis and reinvention, self-honesty and being more fully self-expressed — this is what’s happening with me now — and in my sharing to the outer world and relationships.
Also in this episode: how losing hair related to my grandfather’s loss of his parents to starvation, how it brought forward a greater sense of acceptance for my journey and who I am and my body, dependency, and attachment.

This episode is a rerun of a previous episode on The Embody Podcast while I am on a short restorative hiatus.
When we are not in alignment with the true version of ourselves, we put ourselves at risk for disease. With coronavirus at the surface, this is a strong invitation to fortify who you are and be in deeper connection with yourself. When you are in that place, there is no receptivity for dis-ease, as did-ease gives us impetus to rebalance.
It’s time to LOVE your voice, become fully self — expressed and show yourself the deepest form of self — love: Living Your Truth shamelessly and wildly. Simply Being YOU.
On my 35th birthday, I felt this message move through me — a message that gives me life and purpose.
Listen in on my realistic inspiration to you about bringing yourself to life. How essential it is that you share your specific desires and gifts, validate yourself, and be fully in your being!
Of course, I know that it’s not that simple… Enjoy this encouraging note to be gentle, yet fierce in acknowledging the self — betrayal, hiding, and facades you may carry, death and how it forces the acknowledgement of life, and what would be a life worth living for. Also, I share some personal stories of challenges with being myself, fear, and hiding.
Appreciate and give yourself the birth of YOU (the TRUE YOU).

The Embody Podcast turned two years old in early February! It is now a toddler. Listen in for some new updates about the podcast in the next coming weeks plus how a deeper surrender and trust called for some hard choices.
I share about how I’ve been touched by people in Mexico here, treating me like family, giving me a deep sense of safety and belonging.
I read some excerpts from Thich Nhat Hanh’s Book: No Death, No Fear — his ideas have been touching some of the grief and breaking down constructs of fear in me. I’m loving the clarity that to be in expansion is to let the fire burn the match all the way and all life is a continuation.
His ideas helped something click: that my ancestors also belong to me as much as I belong to them and they live in my body, in my every step, in my heart and through my eyes.

“Everything Inside of You Has a Right to Be There” ~ Liz LaForce
Liz transmits a purity in her energy that brings me so much ease! In this episode, she talks about how to close the gap between your knowing and the here and now, the process to experiencing yourself and the Process to Self, and playfulness. She touches on working with authenticity through playful techniques including dance, art, and voice. How in the voice, you can hear where you are in your body. Liz talks about how she is letting her “form come” as she moves through unknowing and identity crisis and encourages bringing love towards all the pieces of yourself.
Liz had a major turning point in her life at the age of 24. It was the beginning of a totally new life(style) in which her talent by birth to connect with the intangible reopened and started to blossom. She studied with a spiritual master, traveled the world, took classes and sessions on spiritual and personal growth for many years. But mostly learned by tuning into her inner guidance and life itself.
She has guided and taught others towards their path for 25 years now as a life coach and personal development trainer. She has been a teacher at the ICM coaching program and lived and worked on Ibiza for 4 years, giving 1 on 1 and group transformational retreats.
Nowadays she is based in the Netherlands, her home country. Working globally. Combining her background in business economics, and spirituality to guide business leaders and entrepreneurs back into their core through compassion, connection, and communication.

Reveal the corners and folds of your soul, what wants to be heard from inside, the wisdom and connection that brings you more fully into YOU. I feel awakened and more vibrantly in my body through a recent Proprioceptive Writing Retreat and I wanted to share this helpful tool with all of you.
Proprioceptive Writing is a process of inner listening, observing and writing down what you hear, as well as asking one essential question with words that have more vibrancy to you. The words we use carry this knowledge: we are moving and emitting information constantly. The unconscious experience living in our bones and cells has a space to come forward, bringing a new dimension to shadow work, knowing yourself, and body awareness.
With this process, you can reveal truths to yourself, excavate wisdom that is already living within you, and allow unconscious aspects to come forward into consciousness and healing.
Also in this episode are updates about my travel in Mexico, the sounds — complete with some beautiful soundscapes and guitar playing by Juan Ignacio Rodriguez and Zamboprieto, food, and music that are bringing my soul alive and holding me in through another spiritual emergence/crisis and dismantling of parts of me.

3:04 The Experiential
Get clear with your relationships! Cleanse, reset, end, restore, honor, thank, and give each relationship its place. When we speak truth about a relationship as it was or is, it has a chance to be at peace and unburdened by what’s unintegrated or unsaid. The relationship’s meaning can be known more fully, even if we only acknowledge it within our own imagination and body.
This episode and the following experiential is for current relationships both pleasant and conflictual, past meaningful relationships of all kinds, and especially that person you just can’t get out of your mind or psyche.
Cutting someone out of your life may not give you everything you need to integrate and move forward — how you relate to what they meant to you and all the unconscious associations that are underlaid within this complex system of experience and body memory that is our existence is what lives on — unless the truth is acknowledged.
I also share a brief update about my travels to Mexico and a recent new tool that has been very powerful for me in stepping into a fuller self and self-love: Proprioceptive Writing.

“I highly recommend Candice’s healing work. I love her podcasts and the Ally with Death experience was pretty powerful. I loved the music and of course her voice. My heart slipped out of its crusty burnt casing (like a burnt marshmallow) to reveal a vibrant pink thing. I wondered why I let a single person or event ever take my joie de vivre and vowed to dance and shimmer among the stars. Here’s to new beginnings!” ~ Doreen Stelton (@verdantfaerie on Instagram)
The Ally With Death Audio Experiential is still available for cleansing what’s weighing you in this new year.
Experience a movement through what needs to die and end in your life, bringing forward your vitality and meaning in this next stretch of your path.
All those feelings that have been accumulating, relationships that still feel triggering, or ways you talk to yourself or situations that you’re just “over” — let them truly resolve and heal through this process — giving a clear space for what wants to emerge through you in your life.
It can be truly transformative and transmutive, giving a compost that fertilizes new life.
Once you order the experience, it’s an mp3 that is yours forever — and you can use it again any time you’d like.
It’s lovely to do anytime, especially as we are into the new year, shifting in season, during a moon cycle/new moon or even full moon, or if you’re seeking more clarity, healing, support, and embodiment. If you feel weighed down, heavy, or stuck, this is a great time to tune in and let yourself journey in this process.

A poem by Mary Oliver, Wild Geese, a confession about pleasing others, a story about my Father, immigration and ancestry with the topic of “niceness”, a live self-forgiveness of myself for ways I judge myself, change your life any moment, and What would a horse do?
I loved this line from Mary Oliver’s poem, Wild Geese: “You only need to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.” This touches deep into my heart and body. It reminds me how simple it can be on some levels — that what we love is what we love. To allow what it is that your body already loves to be.

Ever wish you could sleep for days, weeks, or years even? That you’re so tired that you need a century to feel replenished? Or that the sadness or uncomfortable feeling you’re experiencing might last “forever?” Or that you need more time to do something that you love or would be satisfying or necessary to your well being?
Using only a few mins you can feel that you have infinity — or all the time that you need when you feel that you need more. Play with this little trick using imagination and sensing to satisfy the body — to feel as if you had all the time you needed, even forever, or that time could go by so that your emotions would feel easier to navigate. #TimeTravel

As a gift, Nick Werber has offered one of his favorite audio meditations on the subject of consenting to people and the present moment as they are. The meditation is originally written by German Psychologist Bert Hellinger and is read by Dr. Michael Picucci. Dr. Picucci was one of Nick’s greatest mentors and before he passed, Nick spent a year recording several of his meditations along with an audio version of his book, Focalizing Source Energy. The content of the meditation gets at a universal and enduring truth: that our perception of the world around us shapes the world around us.

Nick Werber is back on The Podcast! My good friend, fellow wizard of a healer and Integrative Coach — Whether you enjoyed Nick Werber on The Podcast before or you’ve never heard from him, you’ll just drink up this episode in which Nick and I chat about a secret to our past lives, intentions, and Black Sheep!
All about Intentions — how to use body awareness to help with intentions, what to make of the barriers that come, and that as soon as you set your intentions you are saying:
“I’m ready to see what has been standing in the way all along.” ~ Nick Werber
Also, a constellations exercise that can support body wisdom and your intentions, and how we may be carrying intentions for someone else in our family ancestry and what to do about this. Find out what needs to be respected in Intention setting, about the process and life of intentions, and my confession about intentions this year.
We explore the value of the Black Sheep in the family from a statement by Bert Hellinger, whether or not Nick and I are the Black Sheep of our families, where we all may have a Black Sheep within us and how that can power the most important parts of us to come forward. A little here about the shadow of the Holocaust and guilt when stepping into what seems like more success than our families.
Listen to Nick Werber’s first appearance on the Podcast.

Journey through time by rainbow travel to the past and future selves — The past that can fortify a sense of ok-ness, strength, or feeling like yourself, and the future self or a loving person that gives you a new awareness of whatever you are experiencing now.
In this experiential, open a sense of agreement with life as it is now so that it can compel and move you forward with an integration of your experience. Beyond acceptance, love yourself through what is now, appreciating the journey, and inviting your future self to bring any needed or desired support.
Also in this episode, I share about some upcoming juicy and sensual topics for the year and what has been going on in my astrology and life.

“The Akashic realm lives in a space of wanting us to update — so the mind can understand the experiences that transcend the mind.” ~ Susan Lipshutz
Susan reminds us of what’s beyond the mind’s programming, our innate wisdom, collaborating and interfacing with life as it is now, harvesting our calling, and reawakening the divine feminine. She brings the wisdom of the moon, the akashic realm, and the ancestral wisdom of our elders and earth to mesh with modern life.
What is the Akashic Realm? What informs the universe? Susan shares all about her 25-year-old relationship with the Akashic Realm and Records, what they are, and how it can be supportive; how it holds everything the collective has ever been through and where we are going. Susan works with Astrology and the Akashic Records together — with the intention of remembering what is forgotten, offering assistance to someone on their journey.
Susan speaks to reframing being a black sheep to a rainbow sheep. She honors her Russian roots and grandmother, while also speaking to transforming gifts of pain and learning from other unbroken ancestral lines. Also, gridding the space and being in the Love Frequency, downloading the akashic field into the body, intuition, the cosmic memory field, honoring every culture’s connection with the moon cycles and sacred.
Also, how Astrology informs the collective systems that are now collapsing, why the Earth Keepers like Greta Thunberg and others are collectively and individually showing up, and her interpretation of the Mayan Calendar ending in 2012 — how we have been here before and blew it, and are approaching again an ascension of consciousness.
Susan Lipshutz, LCSW has been a pioneer in the field of Integrative Psychotherapy, women’s empowerment and soul level mentoring for over 35 years. Consultations are tailored to the needs of the individual offering a blend of innovative deep therapeutic approaches with an expanded understanding of the greater self via an astrological and spiritual perspective. Devoted to building meaningful communities that reawaken and integrate the divine feminine into daily life, Susan invites a reclaiming of each woman’s ancestral wisdom, inner guidance and innate understanding of true beauty via a weaving of practices and teachings inspired by many years of dedicated work with global wisdom keepers and evolutionary teachings. Susan is the founder of Everyday Medicine Woman, offering workshops, meditation courses, and retreats.

It’s important to let die what needs to die.

When we resist death, we resist life.

Spend time daydreaming without an agenda. Daydreaming is a way to love yourself. Give space for your deep inner life and Soul to play. Allow breathing room for your Spirit. Daydreaming offers space for creative life energy of the universe to come through you and can be restful, healing, or revealing. Time for the unexpected, the unimagined, and the unplanned is essential for your wild inner life to thrive!
In this episode, I talk about the benefits of Daydreaming and ways to enter into a dreamspace. I share how to awaken curiosity and openness that gives space for the depths to emerge.
Sometimes what arrives are aspects of yourself that want to be heard, healed, or expressed in your daily life, sometimes it is nonsensical thoughts that spring into practical and inspired ideas, and other times it is to fuel your creative and imaginal spirit and life.
Let mystery be alive through your dream time!

Who shows up on your menstrual cycle? Roxanne talks about paying attention to the parts of self that come up as a window to our depths, the marginalized parts of self, and our under-worldly soul.
Roxanne Partridge, of Embody Period, brings Menstruality - Sexuality Embodiment “From the Depths Up & Out”. She invokes the goddess and wild self in women through luscious words, provocative and artistic expression, imagery, and the depths and darkness.
Roxanne supports women in connecting back to the source of themselves and awakening their vital and essential selves, sexuality, highlighting the magic of all stages of a woman’s menstrual cycle, and sharing their stories as they are.
Roxanne soulfully shares about:
- Inner Social Justice: befriending the marginalized parts of self that don’t have representation in day to day life
- What happens as marginalized parts of ourselves meet the waking life versions of ourselves?
- The painful story that created the Menstrual Backdrop to her life and mission
- Space and creating space, making space, living in space, taking up space… space poetry
- Deconstructing the pathologization and silencing of women’s cyclicity and the reduction of the moon cycle to “hormones” and reclaiming the beautiful and magical context of women’s lives
- Death and Rebirth: the potential of every cycle
- The sensuality of bleeding
- Who shows up when you are bleeding or at different parts of your cycle?
- How do you carry the gift of renewal and imagine it forward into your life?
- How Soul is revealing Itself to you through your embodied experience
Dr. Roxanne Partridge, CHt is known for inspiring and guiding others into embodying their unique, sustainable, fullness. Women, menstruators, and individuals seeking a safe, healing, and inclusive space to explore menstruality, sexuality, and embodied identity, are empowered through Roxanne’s in-depth and creative approach. In her private practice and workshops, as well as in her writing and speaking engagements, she is an advocate for equal rights to imagination for images of female embodied experience. As a healer-scholar-activist, Roxanne has lectured and facilitated workshops at conferences for the Society of Menstrual Cycle Research, Seeing Red, Jungian Society of Scholarly Studies, International Association for Jungian Psychology, and the International Association for Analytical Psychology.
Roxanne received her Ph.D. in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria, California. Informed by feminist Post-Jungian, liberational, archetypal, and eco-psychological theory and practices, Depth Psychology is inherently holistic. Depth Psychology attends to the nuances of experience in the context of daily life, cultural and familial backgrounds, and manifestations of the unconscious, such as dreams. Importantly, this paradigm sees troublesome emotional and behavioral symptoms, suffering, and questions of identity as invitations into a deeper and wider understanding of personal purpose, potential, healing, transformation, and embodied autonomy. Roxanne received her Clinical Hypnotherapy certification from the Santa Barbara Institute of Hypnotherapy and trained with revolutionary sex therapist Gina Ogden in her medicine wheel method of relational sexuality. Roxanne’s background in holistic therapies and the arts forms a creative container for deep and catalytic work.
Additionally to this episode Roxanne also provides an experiential which is EP100a or available on CandiceWu.com/roxanne.

In this episode, I draw on lessons from the Horses on giving and taking and from the founder of Family Constellations, Bert Hellinger’s ideas on how we stay innocent when we give and feel guilty when we take. His statement that has brought icy feeling of truth to me at times, “It is better for you to feel obligated to me than for me to feel obligated to you,” is a great place to explore what our relationship to giving and taking is.
Where horses take the carrot I give them, I sometimes begrudgingly see my own needs and desires: for the horse to give back to me, love me, kiss me or give me attention… But also the simple lesson of being in complete action and alignment by delighting in the giving.
I invite you to notice on subtle levels why you give, from which place are you giving, and who is doing the giving? It takes grit to be honest and have weight in yourself by recognizing what you might silently or secretly expect from others when you give while finding a place for the pure act of giving.
Also, I touch on taking your parents as they are — a piece that I had forgotten to speak to in the episode on taking.
This conversation is Part 3 of 3 on the investigation and self-inquiry around taking, receiving, and giving. In week 1, I explored the developmental need and assertive tool of taking — the benefits of being able to take and how taking comes before giving in the spectrum of life. In week 2 I explored receiving and how it is connected to our embodiment and visceral reactions as well as permission, belief sets, saying NO, and our ancestral lineage.

With this episode, let’s cleanse our personal permission to receive and explore how receiving can relate and be blocked by feelings of betrayal within our ancestry and the collective, saying NO, expectations and attachments, our body’s visceral reactions to receiving and belief sets.
A self-exploration on:
- What is receiving and what does it require us to feel and do?
- Receiving is all connected to our body’s visceral reactions
- Our belief sets (and where they come from) that block us from deepening receiving what we desire
- What do you feel allowed, worthy of, and able to receive? Love, sensuality, abundance, money, compliments, touch…
Plus a sharing about a recent experience with a ghost that I now would rather call a spirit or ancestor and my experiences with Molly Shanahan/Mad Shak Dance Company recently around movements born from trauma.
This conversation is Part 2 of 3 on the investigation and self-inquiry around taking, receiving, and giving. Last week, I explored the developmental need and assertive tool of taking — the benefits of being able to take and how taking comes before giving in the spectrum of life.

This conversation offers an investigation and self-inquiry around taking, receiving, and giving. We often overvalue giving and stigmatize taking — that taking is selfish, impolite, or that we shouldn’t… we certainly shouldn’t take too much. And we often moralize that it is better to receive than to take. Does that limit us in our fullness?
We need to be able to take. It is an assertive action we can play with and use when we need it. Taking space, taking your own time, taking up space, taking what we need, and ultimately taking our place. My teacher, Suzi Tucker, says that it is first “take, then give.” Taking comes before giving.
In this episode, I discuss our developmental need to take, what beliefs may interfere with our ability to assert and take what we need or desire, taking too much and its relationship with scarcity, and the wounds and messages we may have received and internalized that make it hard for us to take and receive.
This is part one of the series: Cleanse Your Ideas of Taking Receiving, and Giving. Next week: Opening Your Capacity to Receive

Angela brings forward the Goddess within along with the stories and lives of women of color and queer women through history that have been often hidden or left in the dark corners! She supports women who have been hurt or confined by versions of spirituality, those who are exhausted by the larger constructs that can oppress, and those who bring their own empowering life forward through her life journey as well as her programs at Holy Women Icons Project.
In this podcast, Angela discusses bringing forward stories that call up a reflection of our self-worth, love, resilience, and strength; her experiences of microaggression in the spiritual community, and her experiences of being a queer clergywoman for 14 years. We have discussions about how the spirituality that was handed to her was a version that felt too confining for the essence of her being that was passionate about dance, arts, and writing.

1:22 Beginning of the Experiential
Noticing our body’s level of coherence and vibrating with the rightness of our being brings even more trust and healing. In this podcast, I talk about the things you can notice that your body does to tell you that healing is happening. When you notice these, you can develop your body trust and boost your innate healing.
The nervous system builds upon this to develop body trust and innate healing, the experience that you can trust that your body innately knows its way and allow it to lead. This can also help when you feel stuck or have that thought that nothing’s changing in your life or your healing process, for when you feel down on yourself or overwhelmed.
Look for teeny tiny things that are already happening and transforming to support you.

“A world where our little pebble of documenting births can make waves on the mortality rate of mothers across the country or the world. How amazing would that be?” ~ Chinelle Rojas
Chinelle brings awareness to birthing options that can save lives, especially women of color through her intimate, raw, tender, powerful, and revealing photography. She tells a story of women in their goddess selves and “between worlds” with their babies and families, capturing the powerful moment of life coming into the world.
Chinelle’s eye for honesty in her photographs is inspiring and unearthing silenced or quieted areas of our humanity into conversation through images. In this podcast, she candidly speaks about her own birthing experiences and stories of being witness to the profound process of birthing. She shared how her curiosity of how slave women birthed lead to her creating provocative photographs that were sparse or missing in her Google search and how she is able to heal her ancestors.
Statistically, black women in the United States have a mortality rate of 3–4 times higher than white women, and Chinelle believes that one of the major reasons is lack of representation and WOC in the birth community and the visibility of different options available. That’s why she created The Melanated Birth - to offer just that.
From this down-to-earth wife, mom, advocate, logo designer, and birth photographer and videographer currently located in Tampa, Florida, you will learn why diversity in the birth world is greatly needed and be reminded of the reality and magic of birthing.

4:29 This Experiential
When you’re depressed, paralyzed, shut down, or dissociated — knowing what is happening can support healing and a compassionate look at the body and how it’s trying to protect us and adapt. This episode is a practical and scientifically-based discussion about understanding the basics of the nervous system in overwhelm or trauma. By noticing the signs, you can support your body in feeling more safety, resilience, and capacity with very basic tools.
We are so used to going in the hard stuff of our lives and overriding and pushing beyond what our bodies need. This can create an auto override and autopilot — are we really here in our hearts and bodies?
In this episode, I share many signs of nervous system overwhelm, 12 things to do to support and heal trauma, a bit of Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Experiencing, and the way our nervous systems can be affected in relationships. The more I have understood the nervous system, the more compassion I have been able to feel for others and humanity.
How can we understand our nervous systems through animal behavior? Find out in this episode. I also bring forward questions I like to ask myself: How much of me is here? Where is my awareness/what is the quality of it? How am I in my body?
Next week, I will share three experientials that are connected to this episode.

“Arigato in, Arigato out” is Ken’s mantra with money, and he promises, it’s not going to cost you anything!
Ken Honda of Tokyo, Japan, known to be the Marie Kondo of money, talks on the podcast about the Japanese art of making peace with your money. Do you use money or does money use you? Is your money happy or unhappy? Ken encourages permission to enjoy money and cleansing our relationship to money.
Ken encourages permission to enjoy money! He shares the confusion and devastation with money and a person’s death that marked his journey of meaning, and how he came to support millions of people in gratitude, following your heart, and finding your gifts as part of the path to money that appreciates.
Ken explains that the distance to happiness is amazingly equal and always same regardless of your circumstances and identities. While it may not be uncomfortable to realize that money is not the problem, Ken brings this conversation to a deep level of self where money is a neutral energy. We put lots of emotional garbage into our relationship with money, which can clutter and cloud it.
Ken talks about embracing your ability to receive, how to cleanse family shame around abundance, how to be vulnerable and ask for support, how the rich and poor have unhappy relationships to money, and how we can compel a planetary shift with a happy relationship to money.
“We are born for expressing our who we are and being authentic self.” ~ Ken Honda
Ken Honda is the author of Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money. He is a bestselling author of self-development books and has sold more than seven million copies worldwide. While his financial expertise comes from owning and managing several businesses, his writings bridge the topics of finance and self-help, focusing on creating and generating personal wealth and happiness through deeper self-honesty.

The continuation of one of past life stories has opened up unimaginable experiences and knowings! In my willingness to surrender into the unbelievable aspects of my experience and in listening to the Ohio land, a beautiful horse I met that showed me more, how a police officer guided me towards the right land where I have been hundreds of years ago, and a new friend, Amélie, that gave me more pieces of my story and… well, I won’t give it all away here. It’s nothing short of magical, so much I can barely believe it myself. And through it, I’m experiencing more of myself, trusting deeper, and living in the flow of the deep mystery.
Also in this episode a brief share about a new trauma/movement collaboration with dancers in Molly Shanahan / Mad Shak Choreography and a poem I wrote to express the Constellation of my soul’s past life lineage and family.
This is Part 2 of Deep Mystery of Life. The Story thread of this Past Life began in this episode last year: Past Life Trauma — Ep 49 and continued in Deep Mystery of Life — EP84 and a brief part in the intro in The Shadow Side of Empathy — EP86.

“A New Earth began to form beneath our feet. Volcanic ashes filled the air. Sulfuric particles embedded themselves into our hair, onto our skin and tongues. My mouth was coated in ashes, my lungs were processing the particles alongside the grief of so many things passing, burning too quickly for my heart to comprehend. I found these notes and postings I had written during the first month of the eruption.” ~ Darshan Mendoza, from her book The Luminary Journey: Lessons from a Volcano in Creating a Healing Center and Becoming the Leader You Were Born to Be
Darshan is an incredible visionary and sees the magic that nature is showing us! She is alive and awake to share the lessons and experience from the Big Island of Hawai’i Volcano erupting in 2018. She shares her beautiful journey in seeing transformation through devastation; the acceleration of a new Earth emerging, which catapulted her into a whole new life.
We talk on the podcast about resetting our vibration with our names, her grandmother’s secret and adventurous life, and Darshan’s message to embody the Hopi saying "we are the ones we have been hoping for.” Also in this episode, her connection with friend, Anutosh Foo, and the most beautiful experience of dying, and the chapter of her life that is happening now: trusting intuition and seeing the divine.
Darshan Mendoza is the spiritual director of Akuahā, a healing retreat in Volcano, Hawai’i. She curates personalized journeys of healing, transformation, and visionary incubation for her guests and clients for planetary transformation. In 2019, she launches The Luminary Journey, a new-moon-to-new-moon program and residency, where Luminaries birth their visions in a holistic and embodied way into the world.
Darshan was born in Manila, Philippines and moved to Chicago with her family at the age of seven. She graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a BA in political science and minors in English and philosophy. She explored the world of law as a student at the John Marshall Law School and the world of creative writing at Columbia College Chicago. She worked as a paralegal, journalist and editor before her spontaneous Kundalini Awakening which led her onto a Healer’s Path.
Soon enough the Ancestors of Hawai’i called Darshan to The Big Island where she began an accelerated decade-long Mystery School where she learned from wisdom keepers from the Philippines, Hawai’i, India, Tibet, the Black Foot and Navajo Nations, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Mexico, Japan, China, New Zealand, the Bioenergetics Quantum Field, and the Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Lineage. The simplest way to describe Darshan is that of a visionary, healer, and teacher. She is committed to anchor in heaven on earth by creating healing centers, visionary incubation labs, and schools all over the world and supporting Luminaries in discovering their genius and sharing it with the world. She finds home in Hawai’i, Chicago, and the Philippines.

1:15:33 Thoughts & Feelings from Candice
The dark side of empathy. There’s nothing wrong with empathy or helping, but where it is coming from? Is the way you are seeing people when you support ultimately disempowering them? Who are you being in experiences where you support, help, heal, or be there for others?
This episode is not just for healers, empaths, wellness practitioners, or those in the helping profession — this is for everybody who has relationships to themselves and others. An Empathy Cleanse so that we can truly be honoring of each other in this life.
In this episode: where empathy can go wrong or too far, how we might put ourselves aside and where empathy supports self-avoidance or abandonment, my story of shifting in consciousness around being a healer, respecting others’ in their wholeness, and SEEING.
Also, a bit here on how supporting others, acceptance of death, respecting each others’ journeys, ancestry or past life, narcissist/empath and other victim/perpetrator agreements and dynamics, and codependency all connect in this conversation about empathy.

“We risk falling in love. We risk feeling deep connection. We risk changing our own mind. We risk returning from this empathy adventure as a different person.” ~Shannon Weber on Empathy Adventuring
Shannon Weber believes you can thrive at the intersection of empathy and resilience.
Shannon leads efforts to end HIV by day and hangs anonymous love notes in public spaces with her three teenagers by night. She is a serial social entrepreneur, having launched several HIV-informed sexual and reproductive health initiatives that have served thousands locally and impacted tens of thousands around the globe. Shannon has a Master’s of Social Work from Tulane University, New Orleans, received the 2018 UCSF Chancellor’s Award for Public Service, and has taught on stages from Durban to Hong Kong. She is the author of Show Up Hard: A Road Map For Helpers In Crisis.
In this episode: From missed connections to vulnerability and intimacy, the craving for meaning in life, moving from enmeshed or co-dependent relationships to compassion in between, how Shannon has cultivated healthy dialogue with her son, reimagining our own true script for life, noticing white fragility and saviourism in all of us with gentleness, lead instead of saving people, and how “boundary creates connection in other spaces.”
The icing on the cake: a Love Note for YOU, the Listener.
The deep mystery of life is you. You are the way. You are love. This is a guided meditation to nourish ways of intuitive and innate knowing that live in your cells, in who you are, in all the messages of the body and spirit.
This episode is based on the main episode “84: The Deep Mystery of Life + Elbow Wisdom : Embracing What Logic Cannot Explain”. To listen to the main episode, please find it on the podcast, or on my website linked below.

There are things we just cannot explain that have a deep impact on our hearts, bodies, and souls. We are in the deep mystery of life — but do we flatten it by feeding everything through the rational?
What do a camping trip, sleeping with a steak knife, horses, my uterus, and men have to do with each other??
In this episode tune into how a camping trip, sleeping with a steak knife in hand, revealed a past life experience, the story of my uterus and elbow — the thread of the past life trauma experience that emerged on the Acupuncture Table, my bond with the white man as a native American in this past experience, a recent energetic download and expansion, believing and trusting in yourself, scrapping previous knowing to discover new knowing, remembering your sovereignty and the sovereignty of all beings, and fear shows that you may be ready.

“Love brings us as close to Source as we can be.” ~ Richard Moss
Richard guides us in a beautiful meditation that reminds us that “There is only now — the body is always in the now” and that “breathing is like a friend that has never abandoned you your whole life.” Bring a new frame for understanding and touch the moment with a quality of awareness that moves you into purposeless from the point of view of the ego, as Richard describes.

“Love brings us as close to Source as we can be.” ~ Richard Moss
Richard Moss has dedicated his life to loving Love with a Capital L. In this episode, receive the invitation to connect with the wildness of the soul, the part of you that wants to dance with love and “die into love.” Richard shares about experiencing life challenges as the deeper opportunity of our lives to love, the way towards intimacy, and planting a tree in fear.
In this episode: Relationship as a way to accelerate loving Love, Why is this called the Embody Podcast? Embodiment as a beginning-less and endless journey, being obedient to nature, and thinner skin and more sensitivity in aging. Richard looks truth and present happenings in the face — he vulnerably shares how his financial challenge is accelerating his deepening, the reality that there are no guarantees of identity or security in life even if we borrow it from the past or future, that democracy is only as good as the people in it and being seduced, and the root of our hurting the planet, recycling, and social issues. Richard says, “we don’t leave behind patriarchy without a profound change of identity” and “If you love love what else is there to do?”
In 1977 Richard Moss was a practicing physician when he experienced a spontaneous state of illumination that irreversibly changed his life and profoundly transformed his understanding of human consciousness and behavior. With this opening came a new level of sensibility including a heightened intuition, subtle insight into mystical and spiritual teachings, and the ability to sense human body-energy fields.
Impelled by this opening and its intensity which required virtually continuous self-examination, he took a sabbatical from his medical practice and began a period of withdrawal from his usual activities for nearly a year. During this time he spontaneously meditated for hours each day and read extensively in the spiritual and psychoanalytic literature, as well as poetry, and mythology. Above all, he made a careful observation of the new quality of energy moving in his body, and how his thoughts instantly generated emotions and sensations.
“He who loves, loves love,
and loving love forms a circle so complete,
there is no end to love."
Saint Bernard, quoted by Richard Moss in the February 2017 seminar in Hameaux de l’Etoile, France
From this introspective period grew his understanding that the root cause of most unnecessary human suffering and conflict comes from two basic forms of ignorance: Unquestioned identification with thinking, especially our judgments and beliefs, and secondly, the general inability in most people to engage threatening feeling in an aware, vulnerable, and creative way.
Richard’s work is about catalyzing you to live as fully and creatively as you were born to live. His goal is that you don’t just follow his or anyone’s work, but that you learn to become your own teacher.
Following this podcast, there will be a meditation provided by Richard, it’s called “83a: Touch this Moment with Richard Moss” and can be found on the link below.

Your body wants you to listen and understand so that you know yourself more deeply, while it communicates multilingually. Be present witness to one part of the body that is calling you: a tension, pain, illness, organ, or emotion, etc. Learn to honor and converse with this part of the body to support your movement towards healing.

The most basic thing of sensing and looking around in your surroundings supports you in deepening in your human experience like animals do when they arrive in space. Your nervous system has the chance to realize that it is safe now and enjoy what is pleasant. Take ten minutes to deepen yourself into the here and now with orienting, a Somatic Experiencing practice.

Your body wants to ally with you! It is a brilliant, intelligent, adaptable vessel and wants to bring you towards peace, pleasure, aliveness, and who you deeply are. But what about all the aches and pains? In this episode: stomach issues, falling into a hole and twisting my ankle, emotions and elbow pain — stories of how I’ve had conversations with my body and the colorful and dimensional ways in which the body communicates what it wants you to resolve. Where the body reveals the heart of the soul, our most tender desires, ancestral pain, belief sets, and stores experiences that are incomplete.
What would your body say if it could talk? The body doesn’t lie and is the opening to more. Tune in for a conversation about the multidimensional multilingual body calling you to listen to and reveal who you deeply are.
Plus three experiential this week that support you in orienting and a deep presence in the here and now, claiming all the parts of your body as yours with gratitude and witness, and working with and bringing healing to one part of the body, learning to be with and translate its multi-lingual conversation.

Joffre guides you in a giant hug to your orphaned self — any part of you that you’ve forgotten about, abandoned, or hidden. You’ll connect with your higher and divine loving self to support you in being in a safe space while entering the cave of your orphaned self to heal any wounds, and restore wholeness, love, and worthiness.
This meditation is part of an interview with Joffre McClung on The Embody Podcast. To listen to the full episode you can listen on the link below or find the episode title “81: Heal it Before it Hits You In the Face And Gratitude for Your Nemesis”. Enjoy.

I have an upcoming Constellations Healing Workshops in Chicago.
Whether related to abundance, money, love, dis-ease/health, relationships, career, etc., our struggles connect with our early unconscious and unspoken ways of belonging and flow of love. This connection with our lineage is carried through our bodies: the cells, viscera, the heart, energy, dis-ease, our fluidity, and freedom. Where those before us didn’t get to integrate a loss or trauma or where there was an imbalance in relationship, the flow of love is disrupted as a placeholder for where there is energy, love, and strength waiting to open and flow forward towards us.
In Family + Systemic Constellations, we constellate and acknowledge the dynamics in the undercurrent of the systems you are part of whether known or unknown. We reveal the essential movements towards healing with others in the group as representative of the parts of your family or systems (community, workplace, parts of self, past life, etc.). We restore the flow of love giving more natural space, ease, and freedom to move in the world with fuller embodiment, authenticity, and truth.

1:54 Meditation by Joffre McClung
21:22 Outro by Candice Wu
Joffre shows us self-love with sass, swagger, and a big laugh. In this podcast episode: how leaning into the dark night of the soul can bring a new lens on reality, finishing up the Matrix of Love, Joffre’s story of how she had done everything to have a good life and rock bottom at age 29, and shifting from mental masturbation and the mind doing double lifting to heart healing.
Joffre discusses beginning again, healing before it hits you in the face, using positive vs negative imagination, and emotions as a navigational system. There is already a part of you that knows it is one with the divine and we leave clues for ourselves. She talks about how challenging people and situations around cancer brought her to more self-love. And when you don’t take up the practice of loving all the parts of you, the orphaned parts may shout to wake you up!
Joffre is a Spiritual/Personal Growth Author, Motivational Speaker, and Common Sense Advocate who was compelled to write her first book, HOW LEARNING TO SAY GOODBYE TAUGHT ME HOW TO LIVE/2015, on spiritual growth because of the profound experiences of seeing her best friend battle breast cancer. Joffre began her career as a theatre actress and producer, having spent most of her adult life in New York City, where she acted and produced several Off-Broadway productions.
An avid student of spiritual literature and techniques since the early 1980s, Joffre taught herself filmmaking and formed Sweet Moon Pictures Production Company back in the 1990s. She wrote, produced, and directed two independent films with spiritual themes or overtones: Out of the Blue (1995) and Best Wishes (2002; winner of the “Spirit of the West Award”). Before moving back to Texas to care for her dying mother, she worked as a senior producer and director for a media broadcast Production Company in New York City for over fifteen years. Her newest book, THE HEART OF THE MATTER (A Workbook and Guide to Finding Your Way Back to Self-love) 2017, was born out of the work she did within to heal her wounds and beliefs of the past and move successfully and fully into self-love. Joffre’s passion — now through her book, talks, and videos — is to help everyone wake up, take the journey of self-discovery, and empower themselves through self-love.

01:55 Beginning of the Experiential
16:40 Gratitude
17:07 More Free Meditations
It’s quite the human task to be congruent and aligned with ourselves — to feel that who we are on the inside is expressed and reflected on the outside. Then there is all of what is within. Do you sacrifice, sell off, hide, or ignore parts of yourself? What does congruence feel like to you in your body? In this episode, how the Hong Kong Protests challenged me personally to stand up for all the parts of me, not just some, but to have compassion meanwhile. Also, the price we pay when we have codependency or where we are split in our choices, how to feel aligned in your body and congruent outwardly, living from the heart and looking deeper at social issues.

“Loving yourself is always a good move.” ~Kerry Maiorca
It takes bravery to slow down and recognize you are enough. Kerry Maiorca dismantles the idea you have to be a certain kind of person to practice yoga. She encourages and teaches others to make time within their messy lives to love themselves and to simplify. Kerry asks: Is it self-love or is it self-bullying and shaming? And, is FEAR your CEO? In this episode, she talks about why First Graders are better at meditation than you are, how to begin any practice just as you are, nourishment in the in-between spaces of life, how yoga is real life happening, and to give yourself permission to have joy without other intentions.
Kerry’s mission is to inspire you to slow down, breathe more deeply, and do a little less. Specializing in teaching Gentle and Restorative Yoga, Kerry is passionate about sharing the depths of practice in an accessible, individualized, and down-to-earth way.
Kerry is the Founder of Bloom Yoga Studio and serves as chair of the board for Yoga Alliance. She’s been teaching yoga for over 20 years and loves mentoring new and experienced yoga teachers to help them authentically shine. In September 2019, Kerry will be co-leading the Nourished Life Retreat in Aspen, CO, complete with Gentle Yoga, Culinary Nutrition Classes, Hiking, a Creativity Reboot, and more!

In this episode, I share about the spiritual and earthly wisdom that horses have to share — the magical moments where the horses showed me that when my energy shifted, theirs and the outer world did too, plus Somatic Healing and Horse Constellations.
This episode is a continuation of my story of being with horses, communicating with them telepathically and receiving knowledge and wisdom from them. Horses show us that there is no need to be afraid of emotion and enjoy when people are congruent with what they are feeling.
I share about magical moments where something in me shifted emotionally and instantly, or synchronously, the horses felt it and moved with me. Where Silver, the oldest of the horses, moved towards me once I released my hand from where I was stuck in codependency, nudging me in what felt like the right direction of inner knowing and trust. Where Meiji, one of the horses, took ONE step at a time with me as my right foot was trying to “unstick” from where it had been. A kind of support that felt so needed and empowering, and where Jackie, another horse stood between me and the tree that symbolized codependency, giving me the message: don’t go back!
These experiences gave me the deeper knowing that our inner worlds give the expression of the outer world that we experience around us — that they go hand in hand.
Listen to the Dancing and Meditating With Horses episode where I share the first part of my experience with Sara Fancy @SaraAFancy at Silver Horse Retreat.

“So many people had to get something right for us to be here.” ~ Francesca Mason Boring on Ancestry
Francesca Mason Boring asks: Who is in this family? Everyone comes from someone — we have roots. There is an innate family soul that tells us that all of us are a part of this family. Our healing can be as simple as this and as complex as seeing this and looking at the hidden dynamics.
In this episode, we explore the basics of nature and systemic constellation, the experience of the Earthy Kind of Sacred: the kind of sacred you can dig your toes into, what the difference is between what I believe and what I’ve constructed versus what is true, morphogenetic fields and the access to our knowing, the gifts of acknowledging our ancestors, and the missing ingredients: what we have left out in our experience that ancient traditions can bring. We also explore the Cultural Puzzles in life: Connecting Families and Relationships with all the complexities they bring.
She teaches how “the ability to know is always present” and seeing the hidden dynamic, that nature is a teacher for life, and where there is trauma that is too much that nature can often help. She explores how we dance in our current life with history, miracles, and tragedies.
Francesca Mason Boring, a bicultural woman enrolled with the Western Shoshone Tribe, facilitates Family, Human & Natural Systems Constellation & Constellation as Ceremony as transformational work.
She is an author, international facilitator, teacher, and lecturer, working with universal indigenous fields in family constellation she has supported the development of constellation as ceremony, community constellations, and nature constellations. Walking with the ancestors, Francesca introduces respect and the incorporation of ancient healing wisdom traditions and ritual in life and systems constellation.

Whether related to abundance, money, love, dis-ease/health, relationships, career, etc., our struggles connect with our early unconscious and unspoken ways of belonging and flow of love. This connection with our lineage is carried through our bodies: the cells, viscera, the heart, energy, dis-ease, our fluidity, and freedom. Where those before us didn’t get to integrate a loss or trauma or where there was an imbalance in relationship, the flow of love is disrupted as a placeholder for where there is energy, love, and strength waiting to open and flow forward towards us.
In Family + Systemic Constellations, we constellate and acknowledge the dynamics in the undercurrent of the systems you are part of whether known or unknown. We reveal the essential movements towards healing with others in the group as representative of the parts of your family or systems (community, workplace, parts of self, past life, etc.). We restore the flow of love giving more natural space, ease, and freedom to move in the world with fuller embodiment, authenticity, and truth.

Take a peek into my adventure with 7 horses — dancing, meditating, and communicating telepathically with horses! I talk about what I learned living off the grid for 5 nights and being connected with things that give you the feeling of being like yourself. I experienced therapeutic touch, being in enoughness, and the magic of meditating with horses. I learned how to talk and listen to horses so they feel respected and interested. And a Poem in gratitude to Silver at the Horse Constellations mentorship with Sara Fancy @SarraaFancy at the Silver Horse Retreat Center.

Coherence is the quality of being logical and consistent or the quality of forming a unified whole according to Google. Today I talk about the potency of noticing the tiniest moments of healing, subtlety or evidence of what’s shifting or happening. It is a ripple effect of spiritual and emotional homeopathy, which then affects our physical bodies.
I invite you to not overlook the potency of a small moment! Let’s take time to notice the coherence and intelligence in our being and bodies. Also, I talk about how the logic of the soul, heart, and body are totally different than the mind’s, such that our bodies are constantly adapting and supporting us.
Where are there places you are doing it right? What ways does your body support your well being? Let’s look, truly look, instead of overlooking what’s already happening. Seeing can bring an opening to more.

I’m grateful to bring this lovely conversation with Kremena Yordanova, who lives her passions in many worlds including yoga, entrepreneurship and the corporate world. I’m inspired by how she looks at the subtleties of patterns in everyday life as ways to know herself and support her students.
This conversation is a transmission of energy and medicine straight from Kremena Yordanova and her ancestors: do it like you CHOSE it, let your life unfold and take your sweet time, and how she chose her own path despite pressures to be a full-time yoga teacher, the herbs of Bulgaria.
As a self-taught entrepreneur with a full-time corporate career, Kremena is thoroughly aware of the demands of modern life. Kremena was motivated to contact more like-minded yoga teachers to join her YorYoga collective and set on a mission to share the practice of self-healing. Since founding YorYoga seven years ago, Kremena has organized more than 15 international Yoga, Food and Wine retreats, multiple workshops and has taught countless Yoga classes.
She fuses the philosophy of yoga with modern day life as the basis of her teachings. Her realistic, grounded and contemporary approach has made her a sought-after teacher in Amsterdam, with weekly practices in leading studios, as well as boutique workshops at the W Hotel Amsterdam.

There are emotions that take some time to reveal what they are about and sometimes we still don’t know. In this episode, I talk about feeling schooled by overwhelming emotions — the big feeling of an emotion that I had no clue what it was about. Wondering if I could hold my own complexity as well as how to be in intense emotions and feel gracefully incompetent. Plus the stories of intergenerational and cultural trauma that revealed, the visceral pain I discovered in my ancestry and how I healed it… My response that honors the survival and life of the lineage.
A Little About A{Live} Now
I’ve found that when I share what’s true in the moment, there is so much ALIVENESS and fullness in me.
That’s why I started the A{Live} Now mini-series, which is within the Embody Podcast. This is the second episode and I intend to share what’s happening in my real life and in my inner world, what’s truly full and alive now.
What’s alive now in me has often been what’s filled the juicy stuff of life: themes, joys, or challenges that others may also be experiencing, a fear and other emotions that bring me to the edge of my fullest expression in the moment.
As you listen, I will also share snippets of how you can support your own heart and soul, know yourself, be your fullest, or heal and love yourself.

This is a divine conversation with my healer/healing coach, Charmayne Kilcup, Ph.D., who introduced me to the power of self-forgiveness. She brings a spacious big love to healing the soul. In this conversation we talk about:
- How to use Self-Forgiveness to heal your heart and soul and why forgiveness itself doesn’t work
- When selflessness is helpful and when it is not
- Shifting from victimhood to seeing that what happens in our lives truly happen not to but for us
- How the mind does not understand the Soul and how to balance this within
- How choosing pleasure and choosing ourselves is in service to all
- Her spiritual emergency and how this lead her to her journey of self-forgiveness and worthiness
- Being worthy of our abundance and material pleasures
- The transmission of primal archetypal feminine energy that is the preparation she needed to feel ready for birthing her baby
- The luscious moments she is enjoying sensate pleasure
Charmayne is a spiritual coach who helps people transform trauma, and pain into joy, ease, and loving. Trained as a counselor, psychologist, and energy worker, Dr. Kilcup has found that self-forgiveness and self-love the are keys to healing that most healing modalities are missing. They were the game-changers that helped her transform an eating disorder, depression, and anxiety into a life of joy and delight. Since that time, Dr. Kilcup has dedicated her career to helping people learn how to use self-forgiveness to transform the negativity in their lives. Currently, she maintains a private practice and is the co-founder of the Institute of Spiritual Coaching which trains people to use self-love and self-forgiveness in their private practices. Her first book, Heal Your Heart: How to Awaken the Soul with Self-Forgiveness released in January 2019.

8:14 Experiential
Our relationships show us places in ourselves that our soul desires us to love or claim. The endings of a relationship, which may have brought both beauty and pain, can bring us that opportunity. Whether it is an ending or shift present or past, in an intimate relationship, family, collegial or friendship, we have another opportunity to return to loving ourselves.
In this podcast, I share my personal story of my recent relationship ending, how I am honoring it and the pockets of pain and beliefs that I had the opportunity to look at. I talk about how we can see our relationships as places for powerful healing and wisdom, four places we get stuck in grieving or moving forward into new relationships, getting unstuck from beliefs that keep us in lack, and how the mind and soul can be on different agendas.
Then join me in the healing experientials that support integrating and claiming the beauty and love from the relationship, healing any pain or wounds, self-forgiveness in your part of the relationship and excavating the beliefs that emerged, making space for the new, playfulness and life.

In this episode I talk about relationships being a mirror and my adventures in leaving the Horse Farm in Ireland back in January – what happened and some clips of my private spoken journal from that time, getting cornered by my host, my experiences with horses blowing me off when I ask them to do something and how I overcame it.
Plus, my process in choosing a kind and pleasurable learning situation over one I needed to endure and how relationships serve to show us where we are still needing to learn to love, giving us an opportunity to love ourselves and others more deeply.
A Little About A{Live} Now
I’ve found that when I share what’s true in the moment, there is so much ALIVENESS and fullness in me.
That’s why I started the A{Live} Now mini-series, which is within the Embody Podcast. This is the second episode and I intend to share what’s happening in my real life and in my inner world, what’s truly full and alive now.
What’s alive now in me has often been what’s filled the juicy stuff of life: themes, joys, or challenges that others may also be experiencing, a fear and other emotions that bring me to the edge of my fullest expression in the moment.
As you listen, I will also share snippets of how you can support your own heart and soul, know yourself, be your fullest, or heal and love yourself.

I’d like to welcome to the podcast Bianka Hardin, my friend, colleague, and previous supervisor when I was a holistic psychotherapist. Bianka taught me the lived experience of self-care, intention, and the power of visualization.
Listen in on our unique story of synchronicity in each other’s lives plus a rich conversation about:
- Bianka’s journey into developing more safety and enjoyment in her body and working with anxieties and fears
- Exploring trust and mistrust
- The profound experience of realizing she was holding someone else’s fear
- Bianka’s personal journey into exploring the truth of the untold ancestral story as half German and half from the South
- How to connect with your her own desires as an empathic person
- Personal agency and how we can get in our own way
- What the body-centered and relational model of NARM (Neuro-Affective Relational Model) offers
- When you feel you’ve had a set back it could actually be the natural contraction that happens after expansion

We are always manifesting something, but how do we manifest what we desire? In this episode, I explore the key to manifesting what you desire — finding the map to YOU and surrendering to your deepest, truest, clearest Self. I also share a true and vulnerable story of a recent flow and manifesting experience, discuss how we can’t be anything in the world; we can only be ourselves and offer a healing experience of embodying a time you feel most like yourself, touching into your desires, and resolving unworthiness and fears.

We are all worthy of love and ALL of us is worthy of love. Love is the direction of attention. In this episode, I open with a brief “tuning into” the energy of love. What revealed was an experiential for sensing in deeper to the energy of love as well as noticing different parts of us that want love and have different ideas, agendas, and needs around love. I share personal experiences of the kind of love my 5-year-old self-desires, codependency, and what a clear and pure love might look like. I talk about the desires that we have and our worthiness in having the love that we desire. I also share a Dream I had about loving and being worthy of my own desires.

37:08 Acceptance of Unknowing
Our soul’s deepest desire is to love and know love. To know what love truly is — and isn’t. I’ve experienced a sorting process in this life of how to love, what is love and what isn’t loving — both to myself and others.
But often our ideas of love and loving are warped. What if abuse got mixed in there, or staying silent?? We grow up confused and learning that loving means to do xyz (let’s discover!), and pure loving that is without survival attached becomes distorted. It is deeply ingrained in our systems, even our ancestral systems, and society. It is deeply in our unconscious — in the way the body is held, moves, and doesn’t move.
This episode is an exploration of free and wholehearted love…the capacity to witness fullness and bareness in ourselves and others. I discuss how to untangle destructive ways of being that have been paired with love or being loved.
In the last quarter of the episode, I guide you through a journaling or meditation experience to explore what loving meant in your early life, untangling love from protection, fear and other ways of being that were associated, and connecting you to what love is in its clearest form.

This episode with Aleta Kai was truly invigorating! Aleta’s energetic concoction of spirituality, sensuality, sexuality, power, and loving yourself, mixed with biology and the body brings a stimulating conversation.
Aleta Cai is an NYC based healer and dominatrix who combines her experiences in both into a unique form of somatic and energetic healing. She focuses on embodiment, empowerment and processing trauma. Through her methodology of integrating submission, her clients are able to surrender into their own vulnerabilities in a transformative way.
In this episode we explore:
Aleta’s Journey to a BDSM Dungeon and into her Energy Healing
The power of sexual energy
Permission to feel good about yourself and feel pleasure
The human condition of masochism and the pleasure in pain
How Aleta uses BDSM techniques from more than only a sexual angle — but to awaken the energy of the sacral area in both men and women — as a somatic healing practice to reveal more and open up more for herself and her clients
Aleta’s kundalini awakening and the emergence
The lived and unlived life
Feeling safe in the body — being in the body instead of spiritually bypassing
Using submission and dominance to explore our core being
Showing up in the world vs hiding
Being Chinese and shifting the belief sets that came through culture and lineage
Aleta holds a BA in Psychology as well as an MA in Film Studies, both from NYU. After a few years working in Fashion, she followed both her curiosity and fear into a BDSM dungeon. It ignited a path of healing and integration she never foresaw, and she not only “learned the ropes” there, but learned the ropes for a new way of understanding the human condition. A kundalini awakening further catapulted her towards her life calling of healing and she began her pursuit of the healing arts first through Reiki, hypnosis, clairvoyance and integrative life coaching.

Give yourself some grace! There are tanglings from our childhood and the past where we depend on others to give us our sense of self, safety, worth, value, or lovability. In this experiential, we open up self-forgiveness around judgments where we have felt tied to or dependent on others. This frees us up to have more inner resource and wholeness.

I published a new class on Dream Work, which supports people who are interested in developing a stronger ability to remember their dreams and a connected relationship to their dream wisdom with embodiment practices.
Dreaming: Embodiment Practices to Prepare Your Physiology For a Thriving Dream Life
Our dreams offer access to energies and parts of ourselves that are hidden or unseen and wanting to be revealed.
This class offers specific breathing techniques, yogic and body-centered practices, and meditations that you can use to ground yourself and develop safety and playfulness for your dreams to thrive. These practices will support your nervous system in feeling a level of deep rest and relaxation, giving the capacity for you to remember your dreams even better than before or for the first time.

02:10 A Loving Reminder — The Healing Process of Peeling Onion
02:52 Experiential
20:04 Closing
In this episode, I explore a question from a listener:
“Can you receive love and strength from ancestors or relatives still alive if they are mentally sick/toxic/unhealthy?”
I discuss tuning into the soul of our family members that we feel challenged by to receive more than their human form can give us, how our “toxic dynamics or relationships” are the opening to the story of pain or loss in the family, and how these can be taken up as an opportunity to become aware of our gaps in self-love.
I explore how our expectations on others to be different may be our own dependencies — how do we shift out of these? We expand your capacity to love yourself and offer self-forgiveness. I also briefly talk about what needs mending in ourselves, what love is and sorting out what love isn’t, and untangling abuse and other ideas tied to love.
Check out the experientials where you can heal a part of your ancestry and recover love within yourself, shift a family relationship that is toxic by healing your inner child or younger self and bringing self-forgiveness to the judgments we hold about ourselves, particularly around dependency on others to provide us what we need.

In this poignant and powerful conversation with Deran Young, founder of Black Therapists Rock, learn all about Internal Family Systems (IFS) and how you can use that to claim unseen parts of yourself as well as heal racism and racial and cross-cultural wounds. Deran shares about her perspectives on the Legacy Burden of the Black Community, in herself, and encourages us all to look at our own Legacy Burdens in our ancestries. We explore the importance of racial trauma and cross-cultural conversations in society and using IFS as a platform safe and productive healing, as well as her experiences of being Muslim for 5 years, in the US Air Force for 17, and her fascination with the magic of Unicorns.
Deran previously served in the U.S. Air Force for 17 years! Deran is an Internationally experienced clinician, who has practiced in over 5 countries, most recently supporting a week-long IFS training in China in October of 2018. Black Therapists Rock is a non-profit organization Deran founded, geared towards increasing awareness of social and emotional challenges impacting marginalized populations.
She has also been featured in the Huffington Post as one of the “10 Black Female Therapists You Should Know”. In 2018 she was selected as a Facebook Community Partner and is currently working to fulfill a proposal towards creating a burnout prevention project for mental health professionals called Healing the Healer.
She obtained her undergraduate education in Social Psychology and received her Masters in Social Work at the University of Texas. She also holds a Masters in Public Administration (with emphasis on leadership, diversity, and organizational culture). She has personally traveled to over 32 countries and conducted her final semester of grad school in Ghana, West Africa, where she established a High School counseling center.
Through her work with Black Therapists Rock, she is focused on education and outreach, while leading over 20,000 professionals. She was acknowledged by the Mayor of Baltimore for “helping to educate the public on mental illness and end the stigma that is often associated with it”. Her hard work and dedication to raising awareness of mental health issues resulted in her work being highlighted by the acclaimed Psychotherapy Networker magazine, and she has also been featured in the Huffington Post as one of the “10 Black Female Therapists You Should Know”. In 2018 she was selected as a Facebook Community Partner and is currently working to fulfill a proposal towards creating a burnout prevention project for mental health professionals called Healing the Healer.

I am excited to share a passion project of mine: the online Dream Work Series!
Dreamwork is a deep way to cultivate a connection with yourself, and build empowerment and self-love. Our dreams offer access to parts of ourselves that are hidden or unseen and wanting to be revealed for higher wisdom and awareness.
The most recent class I created is to support people who are interested in dreamwork to support their bodies in the safety, playfulness, and openness to better remember their dreams — Dreaming: Embodiment Practices to Prepare Your Physiology For a Thriving Dream Life.
This course offers specific breathing techniques, yogic and body-centered practices, and meditations that you can use to ground yourself and develop safety and playfulness for your dreams to thrive. These practices will support your nervous system in feeling a level of deep rest and relaxation, giving the capacity for you to remember your dreams even better than before or for the first time. You can use these meditations any time to feel embodied, restful, and centered, but we will use them here to specifically develop your dream life. I’ll walk you through every step and you can use these daily, if they resonate with you.
This is Part 1 of 2, where you will learn how to build your capacity for remembering your dreams through body-centered practices. In Part 2, coming soon, I’ll walk you through Visualizations combined with Somatic Experiencing and Somatic Practices that support the nervous system in playfulness, pleasure, daydreaming, imagination, and openness so that your dream life can thrive!

Using the five senses outward and then inward, we bring our awareness to a deep level of sensing with sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch (Pratyahara) — Feeling the body from the inside out. Then we take a journey in the inner landscape of the body to build awareness and healing with a Body Scan. This experiential is part of the episode 59 which is all about “Why Feel? Emotions & Embodiment for the Skeptic in You”.

Sometimes people wonder why feel our emotions? What good does it do when it is so uncomfortable?
Have you ever felt the chasm between your mind and body - where you think something or have a plan, but your body and your emotions do something else? Where you think something positive about yourself, but you FEEL differently in your body – Like you think you’re good enough and worthy, but somehow you don’t quite feel it in your being or you manifest something else?
Being in our bodies and feeling expands us into the unknown and what we cannot control, but gives us a world of wisdom, self-knowing, and self-love.
In this episode, I talk about embodiment 101 for the skeptic in you, what qualities and capacities healing and integration requires, moving from rationalizing to feeling, the steps to feeling, the myths about being still or quiet, and accessing your wisdom.
Also, listen in for updates about my adventures in Ireland being with horses, challenging learnings I have had, and where I am now in the world!
Tune in later this week for the Felt Sense Menu and Five Senses Body Scan.

Deepen into this experience with Lauren Maxwell to practice the Gesture of the Inner Secret (Gupta Mudra), explore safety and centeredness, and expand the inner landscape of your mind and channels of the body with this basic meditation and yoga practice leading you towards and preparing you for breathwork.
Take in the three healing statements that Lauren brings within this practice:
- As limiting beliefs are released, I rest in the sanctuary of my true inner being.
- Breathing in, I know that I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know that I am breathing out.
- Breathing in, I know that I am centered. Breathing out, I know that I am safe.
Lauren is a writer and creative human who offers yoga, ritual, and intuitive coaching meant to help others find spaciousness in the everyday. Her zine, how to uncover SELF in chaotic times, suggests a softer paradigm for success and four everyday containers in which we all might nurture the truth of self. In yoga, Lauren specializes in back care and scoliosis. She loves helping others find pain relief and create soft open space to step into a more loving relationship with themselves.

Dreams are constantly revealing yourself to you and each bring a whole world of embedded knowledge and wisdom, waiting to be seen and bringing you new energies to cultivate in your life, possibility, and connection.
Do you remember your dreams?
It was actually a dream of being in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which unfolded into a lifestyle of location-independent living beginning with Thailand, a travel and romantic partner, practicing my healing work online with clients all over the world, and lots of new found inner and outer freedom and empowerment.
If you’re interested in dreaming, I’ve started a series of dream work classes that will support remembering and harvesting dreams, and there’s much more to come about embodying the energies, wisdom, and messages of your dreams.
This first class is about the basics: unfolding and awakening your dream life so that you can harness the power of dreams, how to cultivate the ability to remember your dreams, creating intentions and ways to record and harvest your dreams. This class is free through the end of Jan. ⠀⠀ Sweet dreams to you…❤

I’m on a real adventure! Cleaning horse poop and learning how to be a stronger leader within myself and with horses in Ireland. This is the first time I’m living with and tending to four horses on a farm and it’s a huge challenge.
In this episode, I talk candidly about the hardships and the growth that I’m experiencing — the lessons that come with strengthening inner freedom, loneliness and releasing dependencies on familiar comforts and people, how to have clear intentions with big wild animals coming at me, putting on my assertive hat and holding my boundaries and grounding with horses.
I truly want to feel that no circumstance can change my insides and I’m definitely thrown for a loop here, but I’m finding more of myself…
Explore your own personal boundaries and assertiveness with me on this journey!
A Little About A{Live} Now
I’ve found that when I share what’s true in the moment, there is so much ALIVENESS and fullness in me.
That’s why I started the A{Live} Now mini-series, which is within the Embody Podcast. This is the second episode and I intend to share what’s happening in my real life and in my inner world, what’s truly full and alive now.
What’s alive now in me has often been what’s filled the juicy stuff of life: themes, joys, or challenges that others may also be experiencing, a fear and other emotions that bring me to the edge of my fullest expression in the moment.
As you listen, I will also share snippets of how you can support your own heart and soul, know yourself, be your fullest, or heal and love yourself.

“How much do you value truth?” ~ Andrew Shykovsky
In this episode we talk about Andrew’s experience and teachings as a Christian Mystic and his path towards his spirituality which included an initial negative impression of Christianity, a “grand spiritual buffet” of out of body experiences, crystals, meditation, I-Ching, and inducing other states of consciousness, the desire for love and truth, challenges with being human and a priest, after-death experience, resolving anger to free yourself from imprisonment, how to manifest and create your reality with respect towards the global reality, and What is God, Christ Consciousness, and Consciousness?
Andrew Shykofsky is a Priest and Teacher of Christian Mysticism. He began the Mystical Path in 2004 while living in San Francisco, CA. Andrew was ordained a minister Deacon in Feb. 2006 and then moved from the Bay Area to Chicago to assist in a new Center there. He was ordained a Priest in May 2013. Shortly after his ordination into the Priesthood, Andrew began the Mystical Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois where he provided classes and Services in Christian Mysticism.
The community grew and another minister was ordained to preside over Services. Andrew relocated to Charleston, SC in Jan. 2018. He was ordained a Master Teacher in June 2018. He currently presides at the Mystical Church of Christ in Charleston, SC.

Shoutout to any of my clients listening - I love my work with my clients and that work supports this podcast! I facilitate healing, spirituality, and a deeper knowing of the self — supporting the body wisdom and experiential tools for completing trauma and negative beliefs of self, spiritual crises, self-love, and understanding of self, while feeling at ease and at home in the simplicity of being human. I inspire people with tools to love themselves through the entire process of healing and transformation.
Individual sessions are for people who want to feel more and experience the depths and truth of themselves. For shifting beliefs and what’s held in the body that keeps them stuck and feeling negatively about themselves — towards joy and aliveness, and greater freedom. Sometimes these can begin with pain or tension in the body and other times with a feeling that there’s’ something deeper you desire in life and you’d like to discover it, or feeling like you want to truly love yourself and trust your intuition and body.
I offer ongoing one-on-one work at the pace and frequency that works best for you, retreats, workshops, Group Healing Calls, embodied couples work as well as in polyamorous and open relationships.
Reach out for a no pressure exploratory conversation to see if it is a good fit and what you desire, or to be offered referrals for someone that would work well for you.

Ritual at its best brings us towards a feeling of acknowledgment, embodiment, and honoring of our true selves. It bonds us to our values and our deepest self or brings us to shared humanity, purpose, or meaning.
Give healing attention and presence to a part of your body that needs it, allowing the power of our body intelligence to begin to innately heal tension, pain, discomfort or dis-ease.

One of my favorite rituals is to record and harvest the wisdom of my dreams. ⠀⠀ Dreams are constantly revealing yourself to you and each one brings a whole world of embedded knowledge and wisdom, waiting to be seen and bringing you new energies to cultivate in your life, possibility, and connection. It connects us back to parts of ourselves we have hidden or left behind, forgotten about, or disconnected from, to bring us into our wholeness and true power.
If you’re interested in dreaming, I’ve started a series of dream work classes that will support remembering and harvesting dreams, and there’s much more to come about embodying the energies, wisdom, and messages of your dreams.
This first class is about the basics: unfolding and awakening your dream life so that you can harness the power of dreams, how to cultivate the ability to remember your dreams, creating intentions and ways to record and harvest your dreams. This class is free through the end of Jan.

Center, ground, and fortify your alignment to yourself with this three chakra energy and awareness practice. It’s a great way to feel present and that you’re inhabiting your body or find clarity and power in who you are (even if you don’t know who you are).

We have many parts of ourselves that may take the lead at different moments in our lives or hide away when we most need them. Each part of ourselves, whether the inner child, higher self, inner critic, protector, etc., brings gifts and wisdom and also may desire to heal. In this exercise, journey with me to dialogue with an inner part by visualizing and connecting with this part.

This episode is about how to sort out your inner chatter and reactive patterns with Parts Work. If you’ve seen the movie Inside Out, you’ve gotten a simplified taste of how your inner world may look. With many parts of us talking and acting at different times, it’s helpful to know their motives, fears, desires, agendas, purpose, and function in your inner dynamic.
Explore and embrace the parts of yourself so you can feel clarity and deeper awareness, heal the wounded or diminished parts, know what part of yourself is acting in various situations, and lead from your Self - from aligned intention. The idea that we have everything within us to heal can be easily accessed with Voice Dialogue as we open up inner gifts, wisdom, and strengths while healing wounds within.
Enjoy guided healing experiences that will walk you through dialoguing with and embodying the parts of yourself.

Dreamwork is one of my passions and gets me connected with myself and the many parts of me - I’ve shared a Dream Class on Skillshare, free until Jan 2019, on how to cultivate your dream life and remember your dreams. One way to work with dreams is to see every part of the dream as part of yourself, gaining wisdom and messages from each symbol and image.

This episode contains explicit and sexual content/language. It may not be suitable for all audiences or ages.
This episode is about the juicy creativity of life: sex! Harmony, the founder of Kink From the Couch — a Somatica® counseling practice based in San Francisco, and I explore:
- Ritual in relationships
- BDSM as the “New Romance”
- Her experiences as a professional dominant and Somatica Practitioner
- Dominance and submission
- Acceptance around “unacceptable” for oneself / Releasing shame around fantasies
- Touching into core desire in your erotic themes
- Seamless verbal and nonverbal consent and the #MeToo movement
- Shadow and archetype in sexuality
- Embodying fantasies
The Somatica Method recognizes that we learn primarily through our bodies. Using a combination of talk therapy and experiential exercises, Harmony leads clients to embrace their full sexual selves without shame. Under her guidance you will find your own erotic embodiment, while developing your negotiation and practical BDSM skills, and other vital practices needed to bring healthy kink into your relationships.
Harmony’s path to becoming a sex counselor took her through many vibrant Bay Area communities, including tantra, orgasmic meditation, the human potential movement, and NLP. She was an independent professional dominant for a decade. She developed her D/s skills at Cleo Dubois’ Academy of SM Arts and studied bondage with Midori. From 2009–11, she wrote educational articles about BDSM as the editor for the Society of Janus, the Bay Area’s oldest kink non-profit. Her current practice synthesizes all the wisdom she’s gained along that winding road.

Let’s talk about how to realign to your essence when you’re ‘spiraling downward’ or hanging by a thread emotionally.
I offer tips that you can practice on how I support my body in feeling more grounded, coming back to clarity, transcending beliefs, and aligning my vibration towards ease and trust in the roughest of moments.
Sometimes it feels like it’s just survival, but we have the capacity to go beyond survival and connect back with Source and alignment - here are some avenues to cultivate that for yourself.

“It’s bigger than self love — I would say that really what I’ve honed in on the past few days [on the Retreat] has been self respect and, and trust in oneself. With specific tools like resourcing, knowing that I have all the tools I need within myself, and whatever environment I’m in to nourish myself and bring myself to a better place when I’m feeling activated. For the first time in my life, I’m really feeling the impacts of coming from a place of nourishment and love for oneself.” ~ Elena, Retreat Member
I love hearing the voices of the women of the Soul Body Retreat!
Here is inside scoop, from members of the Soul Body Women’s Retreat, of what was experienced, what they got out of it, and how we honored ourselves, earth, our lineage and powers.
If you’ve ever been curious about what a retreat with transformational prowess and multidimensionality might do for you, listen in.
Thank you to all those who contributed to its life force.

“All of us – the inspired, bewildered, angry, hopeful, and unaware – hold the potential to free our hearts from the binds of ancestral entanglements.” ~Emily and Dan
In this episode we explore how the heart can perceive, see and communicate silently, the powerful inner work that can develop consciousness, bringing compassion and understanding to a larger tapestry of your life, the dynamics of victimhood and perpetrator, and feminine and masculine balance.
We had a lot of fun at the end where Dan, Emily and I sense into the imagery and energy of the moment of our conversation, and offer some messages for our listeners.

“If you knew what it did for me, you’d never take it away.” ~Jill Massura
Jump in on an insightful and inspired conversation with Jill Massura. We explore the gifts and challenge of showing up as human and vulnerable, how addiction ended up being the greatest gift of Jill’s life, seeing our life through wisdom lenses and neutrality, and inquiring deeper and distilling what is going on underneath our life situations.
I love Jill’s direct and simply no BS look at life!
Jill is a personal empowerment coach. With her support, her clients discover how to live their lives with excitement, free from negative thoughts and behaviors. She is committed to helping people improve their lives through working in the personal areas that impact them the deepest and bring about the most significant change.
She believes your relationship with yourself sets the stage for all of the other relationships in your life – from career, to health, to your personal relationships – how you feel about yourself is what will set you up for success in every area.
Almost 8 yrs ago, she began her career helping people as a massage therapist. It was through this work, and supporting clients in their release of physical pain, that she began to study the power of our mind/body connection. She discovered a whole new world of information about our ability to heal ourself, when given the right tools. Over the course of time, her practice has evolved to include Tapping/EFT and empowerment/self love coaching.
Jill believes anything you want in your life is POSSIBLE.

The most subtle aspects of our inner being give rise and are the blueprint to the physical body. These many layers of us aren’t just related, they are ONE. We are one cohesive being with our physical body, energy, mind/emotions, soul, and Spirit.
While healing can take place at any of the levels, there is a place where healing is most powerful- at the root. But what does this mean? How can we tune into our most empowering resource and our wholeness?
Each of the levels must be online and flowing in its natural states for true transformation to be embodied - so you feel the difference in your being.
In this podcast, I talk about the 5 levels of our physiology, the Koshas, and the essential understanding of how they work together in the growth and healing process.

2:24 Reading
Suzi Tucker, one of my Family Constellations teachers and colleagues, brings such a humble and grounded experience as a gifted Facilitator and human!
Her artful, nuanced, and poignant way of seeing life highlights the resonance of those who came before us, bringing peace and freedom.
In this episode, we explore:
- Do we bother to take ourselves seriously?
- Can we look instead of not look in order to honor our experiences?
- And do we let ourselves complete things so that we can feel our own competence?
- Do we hoard our own expression and why?
- How nuance requires courage
- Perfection as a fluid concept
- Moving out of trance
- Listening to your own words and creating Life Sentences
- Moving outside the limits and parameters of our ancestors
Suzi helps people see reality as it is in present time, discover the fluidity and power of gratitude, and recognize that you have the depth of being to release old emotions that have been festering, perhaps for decades. She looks for the systemic characteristics that you may be experiencing as obstacles – for instance, loyalty to others’ failure, sadness, or pain – and then I look for ways within your family system to jumpstart your sense of permission and possibility. Whoever you are, she can speak your language.
Suzi’s book Gather Enough Fireflies is available on Amazon. She is also coeditor and contributing author to Messengers of Healing (2005), contributing author to Ten Commandments for Couples: For Every Aspect of Your Relationship Journey (2011), and contributing author to several related journals.

3:43 Meditation
How can you harness the energy of anger to LOVE YOURSELF and feel confident?
We have been conditioned (and sometimes by experience) to believe that anger is a bad thing or that it is destructive.
While it can turn ugly, let’s get back to Anger’s TRUE intentions: to show us our deeper desires, to protect us, and to give us the embodied knowledge that we are powerful, capable and creative.
Anger gets a bad rap!
We need to reclaim it so we can truly heal and know ourselves, to be back in alignment with our ease and truth.
In this Episode, we explore:
- The messages we get about anger and what stops us from expressing
- The depression, numbness, lack of confidence, shame, physical illnesses and other symptoms that happen when we repress our anger
- Global and community repercussions of not claiming our own anger
- How to work with your own anger to discharge the energy, use it intentionally and constructively
- Respecting the power of anger and it’s true desires: to protect our creative freedom, safety, and where we need to grow
Check out the Healing Experientials to support a completion of your anger/fight responses, feeling more ease in your body as you release the tension of the “red energy.”
This episode comes with three additional experientials which are released in the week following this podcast.

Being yourself and manifesting what you desire requires meaning it… commitment to what you want and the conviction to get you there.
All the while collaborating with the universe, surrendering, and staying unruffled when things don’t go your way.
It’s a little tough love towards what you desire and the journey along the way.
In this episode, learn about:
- The story of getting schooled by my horse in COMMITING while horseback riding
- How learning to growl, reclaiming the ability to be angry, and resolving trauma, has made me more able to receive what I want
- Staying unruffled and on your course are powerful in manifestation
- And how to listen and collaborate with the universe without sending it mixed messages
A Little About A{Live} Now
I’ve found that when I share what’s true in the moment, there is so much ALIVENESS and fullness in me.
That’s why I started the the A{Live} Now mini-series, which is within the Embody Podcast. This is the second episode and I intend to share what’s happening in my real life and in my inner world, what’s truly full and alive now.
What’s alive now in me has often been what’s filled the juicy stuff of life: themes, joys, or challenges that others may also be experiencing, a fear and other emotions that bring me to the edge of my fullest expression in the moment.
As you listen, I will also share snippets of how you can support your own heart and soul, know yourself, be your fullest, or heal and love yourself.

Hope less to live more. Presence is the true present of living with less hope, being in a place of less expectation and control, more trust, flow, and freedom in my being.
This is a deep acceptance of what is in my experience in a fuller way, where I can experience more and not exist from the place where hoping that things would be different was a helpful tool of survival.
In this podcast, I share a personal story of what made me break, lose all hope, and become more present to the true moments that exist now.
This is an exploration of how hope can be helpful and unhelpful, as well as thoughts about what can be embedded and masked in the concept of hope.
The presents or presence of being hope-less? ;)

Taking “cutting the cords” to another level, in this guided experience, let the acknowledgement of truth set you free of a relationships that is no longer aligned with your energy now. Perhaps a relationship that haunts you or one that was magical and now you’re on different paths, speaking and experiencing what is needed now may bring an honoring and release so you have space for looking forward and new relationships.

This episode is sponsored by the Ally with Death Visualization. It’s a DIY online experience that you can do any time, with a friend or by yourself. The energy of death is powerful to ally with - it gives us the energy to end things or let things die that need to in our lives, to make way for new creations, new energy, and a freer truer version of ourselves.
Especially with this episode of embodying that the past is over, it can help you take inventory of what is living inside you or your dynamics, your relationship to yourself or your outer world that needs to end or be recognized that it is already over.
Things feel overwhelming or weighing on you, make some time to do this for yourself - a great reset for the Spirit.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am so appreciative.

Close the parts of you, the chapters of your life (or past life), that you’re referencing unconsciously and vibrating with in your life today. The body and nervous system desires this completion so you can be more present and create NOW. With one incident in your life, we take a healing step towards what the soul and body desire for completion.

Featured Photo by Chris Barbalis on Unsplash
When we have moments in our life that are unintegrated, unfelt for its dark and light, or interrupted, we accumulate energy and movement in the body that gives a residue. We feel heavier over time while being more and more clouded in the present moment. We can’t quite see clearly! Take inventory on what’s stuck in time, what wants completion in your life, ancestry, and past life.

Love yourself by catching up all the parts of you that are stuck in time so you can feel embodied now.
Have you found that your mind knows something but your emotions or your body reacts the same as it always has?
This episode is about a very important aspect of loving yourself- loving your whole self and catching yourself up to the present moment by closing the chapters of the past that are left open. Knowing that the past is over, we explore shifting the energy in the body by letting the body catch up to what you know is already over, and completing what’s incomplete.
Following this episode are three healing experientials:
- Taking Inventory on What’s Stuck in Time
- Completing a Chapter in the Past Through the Body
- Releasing and Closing a Relationship That Haunts You

How can horses help you to release limiting beliefs, fears around money, receive love and feel joyful in your life, become a better parent, or build confidence?
I was so excited to learn from special Guest Joy Curran, who offers equine assisted counseling with the help of her amazing horse Chaya. We talk about all the ways that horses can be an embodied and powerful way to learn about yourself, move through blocks and challenges, and build confidence, as well as the spiritual connection, intuitive powers, and love that horses can bring.
Listen in on our discussion right on the farm near Perth, Australia, with all of the farm animals surrounding us! We explore how we can move through blocks with interacting with a horse, how working through a horse is a lot like parenting, resolving issues of abundance and money with horses, how sexual trauma and other trauma can be healed with equine therapy, practicing forgiveness, and cultivating JOY.
Joy by name, Joy by nature. Joy lives to help others discover joy in life! Using her own experiences of overcoming anxiety and depression, Joy is able to relate deeply to others going through similar struggles.
Based in sunny Perth, Joy Curran offers equine assisted counseling and learning services with the help of her amazing horse Chaya. Joy is a qualified counsellor who uses her intuition to select from a wide range of counseling techniques and equine activities. Chaya’s name is of Hebrew origin and means ‘to sustain life, live prosperously, live for ever, be quickened, be restored to health’. These are the things that we are hoping to share with our guests.
Joy has a gentle and natural way of relating to people which helps to put you at ease right away. If you are open to it, Joy would love to pray for you and bless you. Looking for a miracle? Anything’s possible!

The body holds implicit information, which has been shamed by the echoes of our personal history, collective and archetypal energies, our past lives, and intergenerational family systems.
Support your body’s wisdom in taking the lead to open embodiment, healing, insight, and resolve. This healing experience guides you in bringing a gentle loving witness to your unfolding movement, helping you to set your mind aside, to bridge the body into trauma healing mode, and to a feeling of being more in your body.

“The body keeps an accurate journal, regardless of what you write down.” —Anonymous
We can’t talk our way out of trauma, anxiety, or depression. It requires the body and heart to move through what it wanted to do that it didn’t get to, and the body will remind (in both subtle and loud ways) us until it happens.
The body is the vessel for all of our experiences and holds the energy of what was overwhelming or incomplete in the past, in our ancestry, and our soul history. What involved the body to begin with requires the body to heal.
Learn about the key components that give way to healing your nervous system and coming through with more resilience and expansiveness, whether or not you think or believe you have trauma.
This episode is about the science, soul, and spirit behind trauma and trauma healing, how our instinctual animal body responds to threat, how the whole body’s function and our experience are impacted by the nervous system’s fight and flight responses, and the connection of the body to spiritual aspects of trauma.
This episode will be followed by a body-centered trauma healing experiential that supports you in unfolding body memory and organic healing.

How does one bridge spirituality, wanting to make a difference, and family law together?
Learn how Patrick Kalscheur, Conscious Family Lawyer, integrated his passions into an empowering practice as a family lawyer, mediator, and coach. Whether or not you are in need of information about family law or divorce, you’ll get some true brightness and abundant insight from Patrick!
In this episode, you’ll learn Patrick’s tips on how to move from scarcity towards abundance, embodying desires and envisioning possibilities, how to open a stepping stone of gratitude towards manifestation, the process of moving through fears and challenges of divorce, Patrick’s experience in guiding people from grief to empowerment and being a clair-empath. In addition, if you are on the path of divorce, preparing for it, or contemplating it, you’ll gain plenty of validation and information that can build your confidence through a challenging process.
Following this episode (technically the next ‘podcast’) is a powerful guided Gratitude Meditation by Patrick Kalscheur to support you in deepening in your own abundant self.
Patrick is a Conscious family lawyer. He combines spirituality and consciousness practices with his legal expertise to assist families going through one of life’s greatest transitions—divorce. Patrick begins by reframing divorce from a process of grief, depression, and the end of a relationship to also a process that offers healing growth and a new beginning. By working with other healers and practitioners and working with his client’s strengths, he builds a support system and uses practices like meditation and visualization to help facilitate a process of growth for his clients.
In addition to representing clients individually, Patrick also works as a mediator and life coach. As a mediator, Patrick can help the whole family going through a transition, and as a life coach, he uses many of the same techniques to help people ground themselves, visualize the life they want to live, and take steps to make those visions a reality.

What do you do when you’ve absorbed others’ energy or emotions?
How do you know if you have?
How do you stay grounded and have clear energetic boundaries so that you don’t pick up what’s not yours?
Are you an Empath?
Do you have the experience that you’re like a magnet or velcro to others’ negative feelings, leaving you fatigued and irritable?
Perhaps you’re not sure whether what you feel is yours or someone else’s.
This episode is all about energy, how to deal with others’ energies, sorting and releasing absorbed energy or emotions from your own, and strengthening your own energetic field. From tips and tools to stay grounded being an empath or empathic, all the way down to the core beliefs and ways of being that open you up to receiving or feeling responsible for others’ energy.
Following the Podcast are three healing experientials to support your energetic strength, clarity and awareness:
❤ Sorting and Clearing your Vibration ❤ Getting on the Grid: Grounding and Anchoring into the Universal Order ❤ Healing Experiential: Ancestral Order - Clearing up Energetic Responsibility and Receiving the Best
A Family Constellations experiential to support you in clearing up unconscious bonds of responsibility where responsibility is not yours, releasing you of emotions or energies that belong someone else in your lineage, and shifting you into your true and natural position to fully receive the best of your family system while leaving the rest.

“My son ran into the bedroom and said, “Mom, mom, there’s a man in an orange cape sitting at the table”...I went out into a dining room, and there was a Buddhist monk in full robes, orange robes, sitting at my dining room table. And I was very confused it was a bit surreal....”
~ Tammy, Speaking about her book The Buddha at My Table
Well...I was definitely intrigued!
This episode is an inspiring conversation with Tammy Letherer, a writing coach, blogger, and author, who has such a healing presence in the world! She shares about her path of peace in her new book The Buddha at My Table, and radiates with the messages that you deserve to tell your story and to value your experience, no matter how simple or mundane you think it is. She also explores that moments of shock bring you to full presence and attention.
Tammy lives in Chicago with her three children and enjoys yoga, swing dancing, reading a good novel, Earl Grey tea, and spending time outdoors. Read her blogs about creativity, spirituality, and the writing life on the Huffington Post or visit her at TammyLetherer.com.
Her Latest book, The Buddha at My Table: How I Found Peace in Betrayal and Divorce, will be released on October 16, 2018. In this memoir, she describes--in honest, sometimes painful detail--the dismantling of a marriage that encompasses the ordinary and surreal, including the night she finds a silent, smiling Thai monk sitting at her dining room table. It's this unexpected visitation, this personification of peace, that helps her find the blessing in her husband's betrayal. Ultimately, it's when she realizes that she is participating in her life, not at its mercy, that she discovers the path to freedom.

Since graduating Monique has studied women's health and fertility, orthopedic acupuncture, and using essential oils with acupuncture treatment. She has a passion for working with patients who struggle with respiratory issues, chronic diseases, fertility and women's health, as well as pain and orthopedic conditions. She doesn't limit her practice to these issues, though, and is always learning more with and through her patients. Monique loves her job and finds the human body, and condition, fascinating.

In this podcast I share my recent travel challenges with food, attachment and addiction to food, the legacy of food in my ancestry, how to clear out beliefs around food and nourishment, and having a healthy relationship with your gut.
This week, I’ll release three healing experientials to offer guidance in moving beyond food cravings, talking to your gut, and your own ancestral legacy of food that lives in your bones.
This meditation is part of the series of healing practices related to the Episode “From Emotional Numbness to Wholeness” which can be found at https://candicewu.com/food.

Your stomach is the holder of all information, and when backed up by too much or undigested experiences, emotions, thoughts, and senses, it can become overwhelmed, bloated, anxious or dis-eased.
Have a conversation with your gut so that it can receive all the wisdom and nourishment of any experience and physical food. Build a loving relationship so that you are in harmony and working together, metabolizing life with ease, and moving in alignment with your optimal self.

Food is anything you take in through all of your senses. In this healing experience with Family Constellations, we unfold the multiplicity of meanings of food, love, and nourishment that you receive and inherit both consciously and unconsciously in the legacy of your family ancestry. With this new awareness, we will metabolize and release the ways of being, beliefs, or Food that is not yours or serving you, giving you more clarity and openness to receive the nourishment that is strengthening.

In this lively episode, Brent Garcia and I talk about toxic comparison, reintroducing presence, how society is not set up for men being vulnerable, reclaiming vulnerability as a man, the experience of admitting pain and asking for help, the courage to see your own shame, how he changed his entire life in his forties, the dance of the healer and inner healer in clients/patients, and Western Medicine and Traditional Eastern Medicine working in Tandem!
Brent is an elite body mechanic. He came to Traditional East Asian Medicine and bodywork because he needed relief from an old Achilles tendon injury. After receiving acupuncture and massage treatments, Brent was able to function at a much higher level than he had for the previous 10 years. This motivated him to study traditional East Asian healing arts including acupuncture, herbal medicine, Asian bodywork and Tai Chi, as well as Reiki.
In 2015, Brent graduated from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in Chicago with a Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine (MSTOM). He received his massage training from Pacific College as well. Now, as licensed practitioner, he continues to study anything that will help him be a better, more effective healer for his clients.
Combining traditional and modern systems of East Asian Medicine with bodywork and trigger point therapy, Brent provides custom treatments to eliminate pain and cultivate well-being in his patients. He maintains a private practice in Chicago, Illinois.

Experiencing my grandmother’s death has brought me to honor her in a very big way - in honoring her worth to me, and her worth to all those sharing a piece of her story, I must honor my own worth -- and this has brought me new levels of abundance and self-love.
In this episode, I share my grandmother’s story, and mine with her, explore some recent thoughts on death, and how I am integrating the wisdom I am gaining from her life.
I jump into shadow work and how we can use loss to bring us to more wholeness, and we can use our imagination to empower us now. I share three ways in which one can explore death to breathe in life and to know oneself more deeply.
To ignore death is to ignore life. So here’s to embracing it to bring more and to know more of ourselves.

Love and be in continual alignment with yourself with the most important tool you have: your intuition!
This week I share my recent collected insights on the topic of listening inward and intuition, nourishing a relationship with your body’s messages, and discerning between intuition and fear-based decision-making!
In the first segment of the podcast, I explore ways in which I and my clients have cleared space for intuition to be opened and heard. I talk about releasing morality, letting go of attachments to past commitments and plans, and continual “not knowing” to refresh your ability to listen inward.
But the question still looms, how do you know you are listening to intuition?
Find out my thoughts in a rich discussion of getting to the essence of the energy behind your knowing, dialoguing with the body and emotions, how to decipher whether it is a fear or love/joy-based decision, and building a trusting relationship with your wise self.
The last segment of the podcast, I share a brief healing exercise to build inner listening, grounding, and strengthen and fortify the trust you already have within by supporting you in imprinting a memory in which you trusted yourself and it worked out.

What is unspoken, undone, and unacknowledged - what needs to be expressed and doesn’t get air time - goes back in and rots inside of us. The Consequence of Sound a song by Regina Spektor, has been inspiring me to explore the consequence of what goes unspoken, and how it affects the world we live in and our bodies.
Learn about ways you can shift and use your voice and expression to have a healthier body and how the language of Sanskrit connects with this song.
A Little About A{Live} Now
I’ve found that when I share what’s true in the moment, there is so much ALIVENESS and fullness in me.
That’s why I started the the A{Live} Now mini-series, which is within the Embody Podcast. This is the second episode and I intend to share what’s happening in my real life and in my inner world, what’s truly full and alive now.
What’s alive now in me has often been what’s filled the juicy stuff of life: themes, joys, or challenges that others may also be experiencing, a fear and other emotions that bring me to the edge of my fullest expression in the moment.
As you listen, I will also share snippets of how you can support your own heart and soul, know yourself, be your fullest, or heal and love yourself.

Waking up with fear is never fun for me. Who is feeling the fear? Ah… Good morning, Perfectionist and Inner Critic - what are doing here right now??
In this episode you’ll get an inside look at my waking up with fear, exploring perfectionism, how I give love to my inner critic and inner perfectionist so they don’t get out of hand, exploring the roots of protection and purpose behind the perfectionism, and the inspiration I got knowing that Madonna has reinvented herself 14 times (maybe more at this point).

What’s on the other end of the “Am I Crazy??” Experiences?
Here we go- the sequel to Freedom + Expansion: The Terrifying Gifts of Spiritual and Existential Crisis!
Find out in Part A what it’s been like since I felt pieces of my existence shatter, the way my bladder was screaming, how I transformed pain into wisdom and revealed the mysteries behind my symptoms, sorting and clearing the ancestral and collective energies that came up, and the actual gifts + magic that I’ve received on the other end.
Part B, Soul and Body Support, is all for you! I’ve had many listeners ask for more meditations and guided experiences for healing. In four segments that you can use at your own pace, I guide you through:
- Soothing self-touch and grounding your body into safety
- Immersing yourself in an imaginary Healing Sanctuary for deeper release
- Talking and listening to your body using the language of the body, love, to learn the wisdom beneath your body symptoms
- Using your story of your physical and emotional symptoms as a tool to explore deeper into the soul’s messages
These can help anyone find deeper healing, grounding, and self-love.

I’ve found that when I share what’s true in the moment, there is so much ALIVENESS and fullness in me.
That’s why I started the the A{Live} Now mini-series, which is within the Embody Podcast. This is the first episode and I intend to share what’s happening in my real life and in my inner world, what’s truly full and alive now.
What’s alive now in me has often been what’s filled the juicy stuff of life: themes, joys, or challenges that others may also be experiencing, a fear and other emotions that bring me to the edge of my fullest expression in the moment.
As you listen, I will also share snippets of how you can support your own heart and soul, know yourself, be your fullest, or heal and love yourself.
In this episode, I share a vulnerable experience of fear around financially continuing my podcast, the beliefs around investing in myself that came up and and how I healed them with forgiveness, as well as how I was touched by feedback from a listener, and what made me burst into tears around Avicii’s death.
I invite you to join in your own inner knowing and vulnerability around investing in yourself, forgiveness, and what your body and soul know you need as well!

Holly and I come from the same beautiful lineage of young women who opened themselves to the rigor and learning of inner motivation, persistence, and responsibility, hard work, and dedication, who have poured their hearts and souls into a team effort: high school competitive cheerleading team at Rochester High School. We met years after both of us graduated, as we are both cheerleaders in another way to our selves and to our clients that want to do deep healing and growth work with themselves.
Holly is a multi-passionate creative entrepreneur who wants to elevate the world through the power of words and connection. She graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in broadcast journalism and has a specialization in Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. She has completed a series of advanced coaching and leadership certifications as well as a KRI-accredited Kundalini Yoga certification. Her mission is to help others master their desires through inner-connection, outer-clarity and daily consistency.
On top of coaching, Holly is a writer whose work has been featured on popular online publications like the Huffington Post, Thrive Global and Thought Catalog. She authors a weekly Q&A Lifestyle Column titled “Hey Holl.” Holly also regularly posts tips and inspiration on Instagram @hey.holl.
I am delighted to have Holly today on the show, where we talk about her personal story of driving towards being a magazine writer, to writing towards her gifts of the soul and self-help, connecting with the angels and using other spiritual tools (even if you are a skeptic), the practice of working out your intuitive muscles, and how to have fun getting to know yourself and shift your life.
Enjoy!

Everything feels like it is dismantling; falling apart. Parts of me feel that they are disintegrating, lost, shattered, untethered.
- I don’t know who I am anymore.
- Why do I exist and what am I here for?
- What is the meaning of life - of everything?
- I don’t know why I feel sad and fearful.
- Reality feels like it is blowing apart.
These are some of the thoughts and feelings I’ve had in the last few weeks as I’ve been on a spiritual roller coaster. At times I have felt I have been in spiritual or existential crisis, and other times it’s been more like spiritual flu.
Luckily, I am aware that these are just parts of me and more grounded inner parts of me are able to stay calm.
The soul is speaking or screaming loudly, ready to share its story and lesson for us when we have intense emotional and physical symptoms. The chance to experience profound healing and expansion, energy and a return to our truth is waiting to be reclaimed within an existential and spiritual crisis.
But it can be terrifying and overwhelming! Especially if you’re not sure what’s happening. Some of the feelings one can have related to archetypal, ancestral, past life, or collective unconscious material that may have no words to describe.
In this week’s episode of the Embody Podcast, I share my personal and present experience of spiritual flu and crisis, what has helped me through it, and what might be helpful if you or someone you know is experiencing emotional intensity, physical symptoms/illness, or other experiences that may be hard to give a name or find the cause of.
Enjoy!

In this episode, I share an intimate and enriching conversation with a dear friend, Rachael Huttner, who is Thai Body Worker and Reiki Practitioner.
Rachael and I talk about how basketball inspired her Thai Body Work, the importance of tribe and teamwork, how to be in touch with synchronicity, and nurturing and valuing intuition and spirit guides.
Rachael’s bodywork practice draws from her studies in Reiki, Thai Bodywork, Trigger Point Therapy, Chinese Medicine and her latest introduction to Shamanic studies. Two components ultimately lay the foundation for the effectiveness of these modalities: making energy and spiritual work approachable to everyone, and creating a collaborative environment. She considers the best teachers and practitioners to be the ones that you need to see less and less as time goes on because they give you the tools needed to draw from your own inner knowledge for health and well-being.
Having spent over a decade recovering from a surgery and back injury in her teens and 20s, Rachael discovered that lasting healing truly begins once you address the emotional, mental, and spiritual components. Rachael saw countless doctors and specialists and became very frustrated with the brief visits, multiple diagnoses, and feeling of helplessness over the decline in her quality of well-being. Thankfully, she was young and stubborn at the time and promised herself that she would find a way to heal that was less confusing and invasive. This desire carried her to a community acupuncture clinic in her late 20s. There, she felt deep compassion from her practitioner, she felt heard and was truly supported for the first time on her quest towards a pain-free life. What an empowering approach! This was the turning point in Rachael’s journey of healing.
Rachael continued to receive care from some holistic practitioners, and each contributed in their own way towards lasting healing and full recovery (in a mere two years). The lessons she learned from this journey have left their imprint on Rachael’s vision for her bodywork sessions. She attunes herself to her client’s goals and works with the relevant information that presents itself during a session. She also encourages her clients to listen to sensations and emotions following a session, as this not only prolongs the benefits of bodywork and Reiki but also empowers them to develop true autonomy over their bodies and well-being.
Rachael is sincerely grateful to everyone that helped her as she healed and embarked on this mission to have her own bodywork practice. Compassion, patience, and encouragement were the special ingredients expressed by loved ones. Rachael carries this support in her heart each day with the sincere wish to share these gifts with others.

Sound Sleep Alchemy Album Guided Healing, Meditations, and Resources for Sleep Care Quality Sleep is so important. It can make all the difference in daily life, self fulfillment, well - being, work, and relationships to have good rest each night.
This is why I have created the Sound Sleep Alchemy Album. This Album of resources, meditations, and self-exploration was born from inspiration of my own, clients', friends', colleagues', and family's struggles with stressful or restless sleep, insomnia, waking up in the middle of the night, night terrors and nightmares, and more, as simple sleep hygiene tips did not always work. In my own experiences of terrible insomnia, I needed to go deeper to get to deep sleep; to the root. I am happy to share that I now have restful sleep and when I don't, I have ways to support myself.
Enjoy this culmination of many ancient and modern traditions including Somatic Experiencing, yoga tantra, Ayurveda, spiritual and energetic practices, scientifically-informed and embodied healing techniques, Chinese Medicine, and Family & Systemic Constellations.

In this podcast, Heather Fraelick shares her gifts: herself! She is joy, as the meaning of her last name describes, and reminds us all that we are human in process. She discusses her dance career has been an essential part of her life and offerings, being human and feeling, the myth that we are “healed” or “zen” at some point, saying “No” and having healthy boundaries, and how the body talks to us.
Heather has a beautiful gift of talking with our fascia, muscles and body, and teaches this to all those around her. She brings a lightness, joy, and ease in self care of the body, heart and soul.
In essence, Heather brings forth a compassionate, listening ear to each session, workshop, or circle, and enjoys helping clients empower themselves on their road to recovery!

It’s time to LOVE your voice, become fully self - expressed and show yourself the deepest form of self - love: Living Your Truth shamelessly and wildly. Simply Being YOU.
On my 35th birthday, I felt this message move through me - a message that gives me life and purpose.
Listen in on my realistic inspiration to you about bringing yourself to life. How essential it is that you share your specific desires and gifts, validate yourself, and be fully in your being!
Of course, I know that it’s not that simple...Enjoy this encouraging note to be gentle, yet fierce in acknowledging the self - betrayal, hiding, and facades you may carry, death and how it forces the acknowledgement of life, and what would be a life worth living for. Also, I share some personal stories of challenges with being myself, fear, and hiding.
Appreciate and give yourself the birth of YOU (the TRUE YOU).

In this episode, I talk about Family Constellations Healing, how it works and how it can support profound transformation. I guide you through three powerful Constellations Exercises that can bring you deeper awareness and healing as well as share stories from the Movie Coco and personal experience to illustrate examples of the impact of the lineage on one’s life.
Family or Systemic Constellations illuminate the internalized images of our inner dynamics and can intuitively show us where our current life challenges may have a previous context in your ancestry’s losses.
Ancestral healing work can restore and access the love and strength that is innate, build your capacity to feel and experience everything and strengthen your ability to use your body’s wisdom and knowledge.

I’m delighted to explore with Gina Fitzpatrick, the independent owner of One Key Yoga in Chicago, IL, and mother of four very interesting humans.
You can find her in the studio nestled in the Ravenswood/Lincoln Square neighborhood teaching yoga for every body or having tea with friends.
Poised for Joy and a tomato connoisseur, Gina is a seeker of truth and the worst bad pun.
Here in this podcast, we talk about how Gina's studio began, including the sweet origin of the name of her studio- One Key Yoga, how she and David Bowie are bonded, the struggle and beauty of moving through grief and being seen, and her current mantra of “I am listening.”
Gina offers spiritually grounded workshops to explore yummy cosmic energies including dreams and spirit totems, but all the way down to the pelvic floor and the body. Last year she began providing an amazing yoga therapy program.
She truly brings her gift, herself, to her practice and to her studio. Thank you, for your beautiful existence and reminder to us all to LISTEN.
