Are you an animal lover?
If you have ever loved a person, you ARE! Because yes, we are animals too! We are chordates, mammals, hominids, and Homo sapiens! Just in case you forgot ;)
To nourish and support the healing of our suffering species, who has wreaked so much violence on the planet and suffered from so much division from Nature, Daniel Mapel has created Wild Earth Animal Essences, gentle remedies for support and transformation. In this episode we talk about healing the inner and outer world, practicing non attachment, and identifying your soul's purpose. Daniel shares his process behind creating these beautiful essences, and tells us of his mystical animal encounters and the profound qualities of creatures such as the Wild Horse, the Hummingbird, the Snake, the Ladybug, the Cheetah, and many more.

Join us in honoring Earth Day with a special episode dedicated to four powerful earth goddesses.
Drawing inspiration from Allison Davies' insightful book on goddesses, this episode delves into the rich mythology surrounding Atira, the Corn Mother, whose nurturing essence embodies the cycle of growth and sustenance. We explore the enigmatic Elen of the Ways, a primal force guiding travelers through the wilderness and connecting them with the land's ancient wisdom. Next, we pay homage to Gaia, the revered Goddess of the Earth herself, whose nurturing embrace encompasses all life forms. Lastly, we unravel the captivating Myth of the Spider Grandmother, a symbol of creativity and wisdom intertwined with the earth's intricate web of life. Tune in as we journey through these sacred tales, celebrating the profound connection between spirituality and the natural world.

Have you met the Wild Women?
Hopefully regardless of how old you are, you know her and you know her well.
Perhaps you caught a faint whiff of her on a steamy hot Summer night or when a societal or cultural issue ignited your inner fire to take action on something that was important to you.
Yet far too many women are not familiar with her.
They either consciously or unconsciously feel the cultural constraints and metaphorical leash that has tried to tame and domesticate her in an attempt to control and limit her powerful energy and abilities. Yet we need her...desperately. The primal, instinctual nature that exists in all women is known as the Wild Woman archetype and it is a critical asset in helping us navigate wisely through our lives. So if you find yourself feeling overly 'civilized' or 'domesticated', out of touch with your instinctual inner compass and "fire in the belly" - basically feeling lame and far too tame - this episode is for you!
My guest today is Dr. Stacey Shelby who is an author, speaker, educator, and depth psychotherapist. She is certified clinical dream tender holds a masters and Ph.D. in Depth Psychology with a specialization in Jungian and Archetypal Studies. In this episode we tap into Dr. Shelby's understanding and experience with the Wild Woman Archetype and what it means for all women. We also talk about love as a catalyst for true inner awakening and discuss ways we can engage with Goddess archetypes in our everyday lives.

Realizing the dreamlike nature of our reality is key to resolving the nightmare we find ourselves in today. Wounded healer and author Paul Levy has learned this lesson the hard way and now assists others through their journey to awakening.
Paul shares his harrowing journey of rejection, psychiatric institution and wholehearted belief in the potentiality of the quantum field. He describes the mind-virus, the nature of evil, and how we can heal from the collective trauma that most of us are feeling. He describes quantum physics as it relates to our everyday experiences in a way that you and I can understand, and encourages us that all potentials are possible.

Have you ever had a small (or large!) suspicion that this society wasn't designed for or by women?
When you hear the name "God" as the bearded male patriarch in the sky, do you feel represented?
The Divine Feminine has been disparaged, disrespected and discarded for too long. But it was't always like this.
Barbara Walker wrote The Woman's Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects to remind us of our position in society. "Second created, first to sin." We have settled for an unempowered existence and we don't have to.
So let's talk about the Goddess. Where did she come from? To where did she go? How can we rebuild our connection to her sacred power?

We all know that having high-quality, nutrient-dense food is critical in order to be healthy, have energy and look our best, but the sad fact is that this is becoming more and more difficult to do. Soaring inflation and food prices, the ever-increasing onslaught of chemicals, hormones and antibiotics in conventional food and the impeding collapse of the global ecosystem from decades of mismanagement has resulted in a food system in peril. Plus most of us have lost, or maybe even never had, basic knowledge and skills on how to grow our own food and have become dependent on outside resources just in order to live!
What's a busy, health and planet-conscious person to do?
The answer: BUILD YOUR OWN FOOD FOREST!
My guest today is Jim Gale who is an absolute POWERHOUSE and a permaculture expert that is bringing real-life solutions. Jim and his team at Food Forest Abundance are revolutionizing the way many of us look at our relationship with the land, our food and ourselves...for the better! His mission is to inspire people all over the world to grow their own food...and here’s the secret: it’s NOT as hard as you think!
I urge you to listen to Jim's full story as well as more on the wonderful world of permiculture on Jim's first episode with me: Episode 84. Liberate Your Mind, Your Lawn And Your Future With Jim Gale, Permaculture Expert and The Food Forest Abundance Home Garden Revolution
And if you are ready to be more self-reliant, empowered, healthy and part of the solution not only for your own health but for the entire planet but don’t know where or how to start, you can fast-track the process by getting one of Jim's fabulous permaculture experts to design a food forest system for your home like I just did! Don't worry, you don't need a lot of land or a large budget - the beautiful thing is they work with what you've got and go from there.

Are you biased? Do you have prejudices?
How do you know what you know?
Why do you believe what you believe?
Closely observing thousands of patients under Anesthesia led Dr. Madhava to ask fundamental questions around ideas that have gone unchallenged for a very long time: What does it mean to be awake? Does awareness require a functioning body or does it arise of its own? He was astounded to realize that “our understanding of who we are as conscious beings is based on assumptions that can easily be overturned” if we are willing to examine them openly. It turns out that unchallenged assumptions underpin our understanding of much of the world outside of the Operating Room as well. It is a matter of how closely we are willing to look…
You can find Dr. Madhava's substack here: "An Insult to Intuition". He also has a website and a page featuring his work for Children's Health Defense, and he has also been featured on an independent media platform called ThePulse.

Is there a high value woman in your life?
Or maybe YOU are one or at perhaps aspire to be one!
Yay, I'm all for growing, learning and striving to be all that we can be and for each of us to fulfill our innate potential. In fact, that's a big part of the mission of this show.
I have been contemplating the qualities and attributes that result in being a person that holds her or himself in high regard. Funny thing is, this often results in others regarding us in that way too. Yet more than self-esteem or confidence, (although tied to it), being a person of high value translates to self-respect, contribution and interestingly self-care.
However it's rare to know of people who we might regard as being "high-value" isn't it?
Among other things, our culture celebrates drama, shallow appearances, nudity, quick-fixes, over-sexualization immediate gratification, and narcissism. Where is the class, dignity, respect, depth and discretion?
I hope you hear something that inspires you in today's show or at the very least, gets you thinking.;)

Do you spend lots of money on an expensive skincare routine?
What if I told you that there is something much more effective, natural and bioavailable than all those creams, serums and lotions on the market?
Hint: humans have used it for ages, it's very gentle and absorbable, it promotes collagen production, evens skin tone, reduces wrinkles and firms and tones skin. And... it comes from pigs!
Stay with me here! Charles Mayfield, my guest today, is a huge fan of pigs. In fact, they're his favorite animal! He raises him on his regenerative farm where they play a key role in maintaining open land and cultivating soil health. Charles is the founder of Farrow Skincare, a beautiful company that "leads with lard," and is nurturing humans, pigs and the planet.

Did you know that astrology is fundamentally related to mythical tales of gods, goddesses, and supernatural earthy phenomenon?
Yes! In fact, mythology is the very foundation of human civilization. We developed higher cognition and language through storytelling: the symbolic retelling of relationships, tragedies, heroic acts and our understanding of the natural world around us. We familiarized ourselves with the mysterious star-shapes in the sky through storytelling.
Letao Wang, my guest today, is an expert on the connections between mythology, astrology and psychology. He is an accomplished astrologist and tarot specialist and the founder and spiritual counselor of the Healing Kingdom. Since 2015, Wang has served clients both in his local city of Hong Kong and internationally, offering insights through astrology, tarot, and numerology readings. Alongside this, he pens the astrology column for the well-known Hong Kong Living Magazine.
In this episode, you'll learn about working with Letao's amazing oracle cards, the tarot, and a practical application of Ancient Greek mythology. Letao discusses the differences between deity worship and the study of archetypes as well as the beautiful myths of Helen of Troy, Queen Penelope of Ithaca, Orpheus the Wounded Healer, and Atalanta, the swiftest woman in the world, and how these characters shed insight on our everyday journeys through life.

Let me tell you... I've been looking forward to interviewing Dr. Fiona Lovely for a long time and this conversation STILL exceeded my expectations!
Welcome to a world in which we know and embody our inherent Divine Feminine wisdom. We feel into new things and test new information against our intuition. We settle into each day gently, free of addiction to stress and adrenaline spikes. We habituate acts of self-care and self-love every day, engaging only in actions that nourish us. We are embodied, selfish/selfFULL and unapologetically own our voices and our space.
Easier said than done, right?
Well, don't worry, because Dr. Fiona Lovely is here! Tune in to hear her wise perspective on menstruation and female hormones, tips for regulating your nervous system, the importance of discharging stressful energy, and advice for women who are facing new challenges with sex, lubrication, joint pain, and genitourinary wellness in peri-menopause. This conversation is full of incredible Fiona-isms – you'll soon understand what I mean ;)
Dr. Fiona Lovely is a women’s health expert with specialties in functional medicine, functional neurology and restorative endocrinology. Her practice focus is to find the root cause of dis-ease, reaching all aspects of health and making space for wellness. She is the creator and host of a popular long-running podcast on the passage of peri-menopause called Not Your Mother’s Menopause. Millions around the world have downloaded the podcast, listening in to learn about the physical, mental and spiritual journey of menopause. You can find her work at drlovely.com and @drfionalovely on IG and tiktok.

Today we will direct our energy within the frequency of loving kindness. We will radiate this love outwards and allow it to abundantly shower over ourselves as well.
This is a Buddhist Metta prayer interpretation from HeartSong Yoga. It is a simple and profound message that gently allows us to be the solution to hate, anger, and violence.

Things are not as they seem, folks!
The world we occupy through our "sensory masks," as Dr. Ibrahim Karim puts it, has caused us to lose touch with the Universe.
We're feeling the implications of that now through corruption, environmental destruction, skyrocketing rates of chronic diseases and mental health disorders, animal extinction, deforestation, over-extraction of resources, war, social injustice and global climate change.
As a society, we are almost completely separate from not only the nature around us, but also the intrinsic wisdom of our bodies.
Was it always this way? How can we restore balance?
In this episode, Dr. Ibrahim Karim beautifully explains these important dynamics, the qualities of masculine and feminine energy, the brilliance of ancient societies, and the importance of restoring awareness to the right brain.

Why are the holidays so enchanting, universally and separately from any organized religious activities?
How did our ancestors honor these planetary transitions and celebrate the changing of the seasons?
If we recognize their deep-rooted traditions, can we feel more aligned and connected with the cycles of nature?
This episode is an exploration of the 8 ancient Pagan celebrations that underlie the more recent Christian holidays. Together, we'll dive into the cosmic dance of astrological cycles and the annual phases of the sun, discovering the profound connection between these ancient celebrations and the natural world. Throughout the episode, I'll share insights into the significance of rituals and rites of passage, unveiling the rich Pagan traditions of Paganism and unravelling its stigmatized nature. We'll also review the importance of aligning our diets with the seasons to savor the abundance of nourishment nature provides.
I hope you enjoy this exploration of spirituality, ancient traditions, and the timeless essence of the Wheel of the Year!

When the energetic resonance of women's voices originate from deep within us, we speak our truth.
According to Dr. Christine Page, and many others, this is the voice of the Womb.
The Womb is the seat of feminine power and our source of intuition, knowing, and connection with the divine.
When we speak from the throat, our voices become higher in pitch, wordy and brain-centered. When we speak from the Womb, our voices reverberate with the relationship-building power of the Sacral Chakra and we effortlessly magnetize attention to our message.
Today I will be sharing from The Handbook of Women's Mysteries: Practices to Reclaim Our Ancient Gifts and Powers by Dr. Christine Page, my two-time podcast guest and beloved mentor. This handbook aims to unearth women's mysteries so they can be shared with women and girls everywhere. When women embrace their inner strengths, align to their natural rhythms and embody their creative powers, a new world of peace, cooperation, and abundance will be born.

What is the energy of 2024?
According to Numerology, 2024 is a year 8 (2+0+2+4). The number 8 is a powerful symbol representing infinity, material abundance and balance.
In this quick episode, I'll be reviewing the significance of this year with reference to the Tarot, astrology and numerology. Early on in my show, I recorded a conversation with Dr. James Wanless, who authored best-selling Voyager Tarot Card Decks and Sustain Yourself- Green Wisdom Tarot Cards. We discussed whether the Tarot deck is devil worship and how it can be used as a tool to connect with your powerful unconscious self. You can listen to that episode here!

Are you enough?
Are you complete?
Are you embodied?
As women in this society, feeling "complete" can be a rare occurrence. Our society fosters and feeds on our insecurities and our craving for MORE, which translates to more material items, more status, more money.
But under all that, what is that MORE you are longing for?
Dr. Christine Page, my two-time podcast guest and beloved mentor, wrote a book to address these issues women face today: The Handbook of Women's Mysteries: Practices to Reclaim Our Ancient Gifts and Powers. This handbook aims to unearth women's mysteries so they can be shared with women and girls everywhere. When women embrace their inner strengths, align to their natural rhythms and embody their creative powers, a new world of peace, cooperation, and abundance will be born.
In today's Fast Friday, I will read to you from Dr. Page's list of the gifts of an embodied woman, which include...
- Loving and connecting
- Wisdom keeper
- Transformative powers
- Clear-sightedness
- Clearing emotions
- Birthing
- Mastering the power of our inner sexual serpent
- Inspirational insights
- Spiritual leaders

Looks are deceiving, and that saying goes for your water, too!
You can invest in good food and exercise programs, surround yourself with supportive friends and family, and even learn to navigate the ups and downs of life with grace... but if you don’t consider your water to be of equal importance, you will never achieve your peak level of health and performance.
Though properly filtering your water is now absolutely necessary for preventing toxins, contaminants, pesticides, foreign additives and other dangerous pollutants from entering your body, filtration simply is not enough anymore (see my eStore for my favorite home filtration system).
My guest today, Rudolf (Dolf) Zantinge, is a hero of mine and an expert in the fields of data mining, AI, IT and Traditional Chinese Medicine. His fascination with the relationship between light and water intensified when his independent research team observed water’s intelligence and sensitivity to electromagnetic forces. They noticed a declining coherence in our planet’s water and the effects of this phenomenon on the mental and physical wellbeing of all life forms. Dolf’s company created the Analemma Wand as a solution for this newly discovered problem… and since using it, I swear my body looks and feels better than before. Dolf’s independent research has shown that properly aligning your water molecules to ensure coherence can reduce your body’s age by between 2-12 YEARS. The Analemma Wand harmonizes the two hemispheres of the brain to enhance intuition and reduce anxiety while restoring our intuitive, instinctual and knowing senses.
And guess what? Listeners of Awakening Aphrodite have a discount on this amazing device! Just visit analemma-water.com and use the code “fitamyTV” at checkout. I promise you’ll love it!
I am thrilled to bring this episode to you and I hope you can share the vital information we discuss with friends and family for the healing of our planet!

What is the role of temptation in your life, and how do you relate to this beguiling force?
Are you steering your life from your mind, or your heart?
Today's Fast Friday is an interesting mix of both staying true to the established path and veering towards the heart's true desires. This episode is a fourth reference of Stacey Demarco's Goddesses and Sirens oracle cards, which are beautifully illustrated by Jimmy Manton. We will be learning about two iconic feminine forces: Athena, the goddess of strategy and wisdom, and the Sirens, the feminine forces of temptation.
The lessons these goddesses have to offer us are essential for finding clarity on where we are headed in life. Athena drives from the mind and uses foresight and strategy to attain Her desired goals. The Sirens, on the other hand, draw sailors away from the planned path and into the watery depths of Their kingdom.
We often hear of the positive aspects of Athena, and the negative aspects of the Sirens, but like everything in this world, these archetypes contain both light and darkness. They remind us that, as all goddess archetypes, their powerful essence is within us all, supporting the human capacity for great compassion and wisdom.
If you enjoy learning about women of history and divine feminine icons, you won't want to miss...

What is the role of the Feminine in organized religion?
Why do we believe what we believe, how do we know if it’s true and where do our beliefs come from?

In our stressful, fast-paced culture that focuses primarily on physical reality, subtle energies are often shrugged off due to their immaterial nature. We no longer commune with the moon, the sun, or the powerful earth cycles that once guided human societies.
But the ancient people who miraculously built structures such as Stonehenge, Sacsayhuaman, the Puma Punku, the Great Pyramids and more... THEY were in tune with these ancient forces of nature.
Will we ever understand the depth of their wisdom and capabilities?
Maria Wheatley is a second-generation dowser who is a leading authority on the geodetic system of earth energies. She was taught how to decode and divine the land by her late father, Dennis Wheatley, who was considered to be one of the UKs top Master Dowsers.
In this episode, you will learn practical tips that will help you reconnect with your sacred feminine nature, the subtle energies of the Earth and other planetary structures as well as the ancestral people who know so much more than we do. We discuss...
- What we can all learn from sacred sites
- How to detect earth energies
- The science of earth divination and how to harmonize our lives with it
- How to tap into the electromagnetic field of the earth and how it can change our physical body
- The definition of alchemy
- The history of magic.

I have a question...
Where are the heroines?
They're out there, but why aren't we hearing and learning about them and their stories?
This question is a big part of my "why" behind the Awakening Aphrodite podcast. I NEED heroines and feminine role models to inspire and uplift my path to becoming all of who I am, and I believe we all share that in common!
I am THRILLED to announce my upcoming online course on the four primary stages of Womanhood and the archetypes that guide each step. Feminine wisdom, guidance and power is medicine for the soul of our society and bringing Her to you is a true gift!
In this episode we will explore...
- The monomyth of the Hero’s journey and how differs from the Heroine’s Journey
- The 8 stages of the Hero’s Journey - a term coined by Joseph Campbell.
- A passage from “As Above So Below: Paths to Spiritual Renewal in Daily Life” by Ronald S. Miller that describes the challenges women face when tasked with fulfilling the typical Hero’s journey
- A new path for women to follow that leaves them feeling fully balanced and whole.
If you’ve put aside your passion for integrating spirituality, creativity, intellect, sexuality and intuition into your life, this episode is for you!

What is a Savage Gentleman? How can one embody an oxymoron?
Well, according to Josh Tyler, this is the ideal state of Man... the consistent cultivation of both aspects in an effort to reach his highest potential. Josh, in his own words, is a man on a quest to reach his full potential and help others do the same. As a school teacher turned professional fighter/amateur survivalist, his wild and varied experiences led him to co-found Savage Gentleman. Like the company's namesake implies, he is a walking juxtaposition of this dichotomy of masculinity. As a husband, father, fighter and philosopher, Josh continues to explore and improve upon both aspects and encourages all men to do so as well. You can find Josh's amazing offerings at https://savagegentleman.com.
I can't wait for you to dive into this episode! We cover many essential topics including the notion of "toxic" masculinity and why it fails to describe men, the difference between sensitivity and vulnerability, the need for positive role models, and what Josh believes men want women to know.

Most of us probably know our bodies are made of approximately 70% water by volume, right?
Well, on a molecular level, water actually makes up 99.99% of what we are!
So, with that in mind, we can deduce that, logically, the water we take in is the single most important aspect of our health.
And yet tap water is filled with toxins, reverse osmosis depletes our minerals, and most of the fancy waters available for purchase at the store have been sitting in plastic and their origins are completely foreign to our bodies.
So, what are we to do?!?
My guest today, Isabel Friend, is an international ambassador of Water, public speaker, and educator. As a student, servant, and steward of Water, she seamlessly blends science and spirit into a comprehensive cosmology of Water wisdom. Spanning the practical insights of health, hydration and biology, to empowering tactics for Watershed guardianship and ecological activism, to the esoteric and subtle insights of ancient indigenous Water wisdom, to the heady scientific discoveries of cutting edge Water research, Isabel's offerings are as multifaceted as Water itself. She has taught about Water throughout the US, Canada, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Bali, Mexico and Thailand. Isabel is deeply devoted to helping YOU embody the empowerment that is inherent in being a body of Water, living on a body of Water. Because Water is life, and life is sacred.
If you want to learn more about the magical properties of water, I highly recommend Episode 88 on AwakeningAphrodite:The Molecular Coherence Of The Fountain Of Youth: Aligning With Nature Cycles, Subtle Energies And Divine Forces With Dolf Zantinge's Analemma Water.

Is feeling "tired" and "stressed" your normal?
Have you lost your creative spark and zest for life, but can't seem to pin down the root cause?
James Wilson famously dubbed adrenal fatigue "the 21st century syndrome" because our system glorifies work and machine-like output while devaluing the true needs of our human bodies. We crave nature connection, sunshine, rest, play, creativity and physical movement but paradoxically live in a system that follows the laws of production over intuition.
Well, today you'll hear all about the consequences of this lifestyle! Kristen Files, my guest today, is a functional nutritional therapy practitioner and master restorative wellness practitioner who is board-certified in holistic nutrition. She gives us a comprehensive introduction to the adrenal glands, the HPA axis, the hormones that govern our bodies at different stages of life (hello, menopause!) and simple tips for healing hormonal dysregulation. She is a living example that her integrated approach truly works! Kristen's contact information amazing resources can be found at www.forestcreekwellness.com.

How do compassion and wisdom show up in your life?
Who are the Divine Feminine beings behind these good forces, and what are their shadow aspects?
This episode is a third reference of Stacey Demarco's Goddesses and Sirens oracle cards, which are beautifully illustrated by Jimmy Manton. We will be learning about two feminine icons: Kuan Yin, the goddess of mercy and compassion, and Hecate, the goddess of the Crone/wise woman and the underworld.
The lessons these goddesses have to offer us are essential for tending to ourselves and others with kindness, courage and fortitude. Kuan Yin reminds us to live with a gentle heart and consider another person’s point of view and choose connection over separateness, while Hecate urges us to examine our darker aspects and trust that our path is illuminated from our light within. These goddesses represent two of the most beloved and feared faces of the Divine Feminine and remind us that, as all goddess archetypes, these powerful essences are within us all, supporting the human capacity for great compassion and wisdom. ENJOY! :)

Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately, or tapped into the low-level buzz of anxiety in the air?
No doubt we are all feeling a collective "buzz" with all the things happening in our world at this time and I'm sure you, like me, are trying to make sense of it all. It is indeed The Great Awakening my friend, and I sure am glad that you're here with me today because I've got the perfect guest to help us try to navigate our way.
My long time friend and world-reknown astrologer, Marilyn DuMont is back on the show and she shares some fascinating insights into these unprecedented times. Please be sure to check out her other two appearances on Awakening Aphrodite:
Episodes 54: Understanding and Working with Planetary Shifts and Astrology in the New Aquarian Age with Marilyn DuMont
Episode 77: The Hopi Prophecy: Navigating Our Times with Confidence, Grace and Community While Stepping Into The 5th Dimensional Reality with Astrologer Marilyn DuMont
On today's show, we talk about what's going on with our current perception of time and in particular, why we all feel like it's running away from us faster than ever before! Marilyn also warns us of the fruitlessness of relying on goals or linear timelines as we leave sequentially behind us in the 3rd dimension and we review the 12 Steps to Self Care, the Hopi Prophecy as well as the astounding astrological events coming up in 2024.

Welcome to the 200th Episode of Awakening Aphrodite with Amy Fournier!
I wanted to take a moment to THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU for being here and for walking this path with me as we learn and grow together. I just want you to know that I think of each of you every time I sit down behind the microphone and your emails, direct messages, reviews, comments and shares truly keep me going...so THANK YOU! I hope to meet you live and in-person one day soon but until then, onward we go! :)
What would your life be like if you were fully conscious of your unconscious patterns?
Now that is a profound question - one that we may only begin to answer after years of self-exploration and openness to accepting and embracing ALL of who we are.
Today's conversation with the legendary Paul Chek begins to shed light on the present circumstances of society, masculinity, femininity and the consequences of generations of unhealthy physical and mental habituation. We talk about the great archetypes of our time and how the Feminine and Masculine have been twisted by over 3000 years of monotheistic patriarchal religious dominance. Paul teaches us how this societal programing has caused emotional wounding within us that leads to projecting, abuse and ultimately, the idea of the "toxic" polarities. We also dive into the famous experiment of Pottenger's cats and its ramifications on society's anxiety and confusion today. Paul also offers priceless wisdom for confronting our hurtful unconscious patterns and key strategies for healing and living the life of your dreams.
This is a powerful one, my friends! If you want more Paul Chek, be sure to give Episode 100.

Do you find yourself waking up at the same time every night?
Or are there certain periods of the day during which you feel tired, irritated, energetic or more emotionally vulnerable?
Our lives, like our world, are in a constant state of ebb and flow. The Organ Body Clock is a dynamic tool created by Traditional Chinese Medicine to track these daily energy cycles. This holistic tool also relates organ energy (or Qi) peaks with certain hours of the day and night.
In this episode, we will discuss the theory of the Organ Body Clock and how it works. We also explore the bio-symbolism of our organs, or how each part of our bodies expresses certain emotions and shadow aspects of ourselves. The Organ Body Clock is a true tool of holistic health and offers us an amazing opportunity to cultivate enhanced communication relationships with our bodies.

So... what is this "Great Awakening" we are hearing so much about?
Friends, you know we always go DEEP on this show but today we go even deeper!
Each of the above questions, and more, are thoughtfully pondered, debated and answered in today's provoking conversation. My guest, James Tunney, is a living mystic and a prolific painter, poet and author and a leader in the AI and globalism space. We have a fascinating and extremely important conversation about the state of the world, globalism, the insidious shadows that apparently are behind the curtain drawing the strings and, most importantly (!), the strength of the human soul to resist evil and hold steadfast in the face of spiritual warfare.
So let's all put on our Big Girl and Boy Pants and courageously dive in so we can be part of the solution to protect our freedom, our autonomy and our beautiful planet!
As James shares: "My non-academic writing is in a wide range of categories, both fiction and non-fiction but although the range might appear wide in its scope, they are all linked by two themes. The first is the idea that individuals are primarily spiritual beings that must evolve and be spiritually self-aware of the nature of consciousness. The second issue flowing therefrom is this: the individual must recognize that they are prey to forces which seek to dispirit them and control their consciousness. My books are all united in their concern for the primacy of individual spiritual freedom of the human person and the threat of our destruction and deconstruction by the scientocracy."

Did you know that we only have access to an estimated ONE PERCENT of all documented ancient historical traditions and spiritual practices?
Stories and fables are much more convincing when there's no evidence to contradict them...
Which is exactly why the Christian church destroyed ancient libraries, appropriated pagan holidays and gods and made it their global mission (literally) to subvert all pagan and indigenous cultural, spiritual and religious practices. Conveniently, the obliteration of pre-Christian artifacts, particularly in Europe, eliminated nearly all trace of female participation in religious traditions and spiritual leadership.
The Way of the Priestess by Dr. Sarah Coxon helps us patch together the little evidence we do have of ancient priestesses, powerful female oracles and even poets who were once the respected bearers of connection between society and the divine. I hope this quick dip into the forgotten herstories of women as spiritual leaders brings you a breath of fresh perspective and adds a bounce of confidence to your step :)

Do you ever feel like you're missing part of yourself?
Humans are constantly on the lookout for their dream mate, their twin flame, their other half.
What is that about? Why are we not "whole" to begin with?
In this third and final episode of my esoteric series with Rudi Verspoor, we will explore the great polarities of life: the forces of love, resonance and attraction that power our universe. Rudi teaches us about the true origin of consciousness from ancient scriptures, how the law of attraction differs from the law of resonance, what our current society's gender dysphoria is all about, and why being heathy is the only way to distinguish illusion from reality and achieve self-actualization. Rudi will also let us in on the #1 sign that you are existing as a programmed ego structure and not your TRUE self.
This one’s deep, my friends! Buckle in and get ready to understand your world in a COMPLETELY new way!
Rudi Verspoor is the Dean of the Hahnemann Center for Heilkunst and Homeopathy and has been studying and practicing homeopathy, Heilkunst, and Romantic Science Healthcare for more than two decades. He has extensive clinical experience that has resulted in the ability to identify and remove underlying causes preventing optimal health and wellbeing, particularly those relating to complex and chronic cases where other health professionals and modalities have failed, including allopathic, functional and holistic health professionals! He has written several books and has shared his knowledge lecturing in many countries around the globe. From 1993 to early 2001, he served as the Director of the British Institute of Homeopathy Canada. Seeing the need for more comprehensive education and training in Heilkunst, he established the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst and the School for Romantic Science and Healthcare.

How do you connect with the divine?
Do you dream? Meditate? Do you...contemplate trees?
We each have our unique way of relating with the spiritual world through our individual belief systems and personal cosmologies. Theresa Dintino, my amazing guest today, regularly interacts with elemental beings, Earth, cosmic entities and ancestral lineages as a practitioner of the Dagara tradition of divination from West Africa.
In this episode, Theresa shares essential advice for those who want to develop their relationship with the divine, her ways of maintaining spiritual connection and the importance of practicing under the law of reciprocity. We discuss dark energy and how to address it, feminine fierceness and the collective need to restore our connections to our spiritual lineage.
For more than 30 years Theresa has studied and practiced an Earth-based spirituality. In 2011, she was initiated as a diviner in a West African tradition. She currently helps others reclaim their personal medicine lineages through her divination work. Her magnificent work can be found at ritualgoddess.com. Theresa is also a steward of stregatree.com and the co-creator of nastywomenwriters.com. Theresa's resources are INCREDIBLE and I highly recommend checking them out!

Do you make your own pleasure a priority?
Have you learned to embrace the ever-expanding-and-folding cycles of life?
In today's episode, I will reference Stacey Demarco's Goddesses and Sirens oracle cards, which are illustrated by Jimmy Manton. We will be learning about two feminine icons: Qetesh, the Sumerian goddess of pleasure, and Persephone, Greek goddess of cycles.
The lessons these goddesses have to offer us are fundamental to cultivating contentedness and peace in this lifetime. Qetesh urges us to actively seek and become aware of the obstacles to our pleasure. Persephone invites us to go with the flow and live in harmony with the cycles of life. How do these gentle reminders feel in your body? Are you open to inviting pleasure and cyclical energy into your life in a small or substantial way?

The truth is, everything has a shadow...even the "pure" concepts of beauty and bravery!
How can we learn to embrace our shadows and integrate their wisdom into our lives?
In today's episode, I will reference Stacey Demarco's Goddesses and Sirens oracle cards, which are beautifully illustrated by Jimmy Manton. We will be exploring two historical feminine icons: the beautiful Helen of Troy and the brave Joan of Arc.
The historical accounts of these two women are mired in tragedy, and yet they continue to resonate through time and space as icons of beauty and faith. Helen of Troy was caught in an illusion of beauty that became more powerful than herself, and Joan of Arc's devout faith and audacious bravery became her downfall. Their stories remind us that beauty and faith can be easily misused and misinterpreted in their extreme forms.

Have you heard of Wonder Woman, daughter of the Amazons?
Did you know that Wonder Woman, also known as Princess Diana, is a character whose origins derive from a real historical group of fierce warrior women, the Amazons?
Today I will introduce you to the Amazon women, the goddess-worshipping tribes in North Africa, Anatolia and the Black Sea area. You will learn about the contested origin of their name, where the lived, how they thrived and some of their unforgotten feats, rituals and customs.
I will be referring to Barbara G. Walker's "The Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets," an impressive sourcebook that focuses on mythology, anthropology, religion, and sexuality to uncover precisely what other encyclopedias leave out or misrepresent.
This episode is a reminder that the Divine Feminine is not all pretty, soft and cuddly... She is in fact also a warrior guided by Truth: a fierce protector and force of nature with unmatched endurance and inner strength. She is the heroine within us, the beautiful and fearsome mama bear, the vessel of life, beauty, art, truth and all the things worth living for! Let's never hesitate to connect with that fierce warrior spirit within us when we need Her!

Welcome back and happy Friday!
As it so happens, today we will be talking about the Norse goddess Freya, Friday's namesake!
But first, we will delve into the symbolism, significance and rich history of the Black Madonna. Also known as "Our Lady of the Hermits," the Black Madonna represents the power we all have to emerge from the darkness transformed, and the wisdom we can only accrue when we go through the often painful fires of transformation. She may represent a new awareness or consciousness towards the earth and our bodies and Her energy is very active in the collective consciousness right now. Can you feel it?
Now, back to our powerful Freya, the Norse goddess associated with love, beauty, fertility, sex, war, gold, and "seiðr," or "magic for seeing and influencing the future." Freya supports our intuitive sense of discernment, which allows us to discern the most life-giving choice in each moment. Her message is: "I spent my time wisely, and I only say yes when it is a holy hell yes!" Do YOU know the difference between a small yes and a HOLY HELL YES? You are a priestess of your own fate. You get to choose the life you want and this happens by being fierce and warrior-like about what you want to say yes to!
This is Part IV of a multi-part series on figures who represent divine femininity featuring the Divine Feminine Oracle Cards by Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Master of Divinity and profound feminist theologian, Meggan Watterson.
Like the powerhouse female icons and goddesses discussed in Episode 163, Episode 166, and Episode 176, the Black Madonna and Freya are two earthshaking embodiments of the Divine Feminine that all women need to be aware of because doing so can help tap into their abilities and essence within OURSELVES. These figures represent The Feminine in powerful, dynamic yet unique ways that are often not depicted in mainstream narratives. Remember: the Divine Feminine energy within us all is a force that can be as powerful as a tsunami or as soft as a lullaby. I believe the trick to embodying Her energy is to have the discretion to know WHEN the right time is for tapping into a selected aspect of her many faces and when to express more of the Divine Masculine in you - not an easy task I know! But don't worry, I'm here to help and that's what this show is all about! :)

No doubt plant medicine is currently undergoing a massive revival, and for good reason! Modern society, medicine and even science are just now realizing the legitimate, profound and life-changing effects of these magic elixirs provided to us by Mother Nature.
Yet something that provides such potentially powerful psychoneurological effects doesn't come without concomitant risks. Most likely you've heard of a story or two of someone who has experienced unwanted effects while engaging in their use.
In today's show, we cut to the chase and address what the the average person needs to know about plant medicine and we ask the question if plant medicines can help improve the quality of life for either us or perhaps someone we know so we can make an informed decision. So whether you have experience with their use or if you're simply psychadelic-curious, this conversation is for you!
My guest today is Daniel Hannah who is an expert on facilitating medicine journeys for people. He gives it to us straight up and shares his understanding of plant medicine as a way for us to heal from the inside out. Some of the key things discussed include what to look for in a plant medicine experience, how to cope with bad trips and why they happen, what it's like to engage with spiritual entities and navigate the energy plane, the contagiousness of energy and how to integrate plant medicine lessons into your everyday life.
Daniel Hannah is a life coach from Australia who shares that he was very depressed and on the brink of suicide before experimenting with plant medicines. Upon gaining new access to his subconscious and the spiritual plane beyond with the aid of these powerful medicines, Daniel found his way back to mental and spiritual wellness. He has embraced the nomadic lifestyle and spent the past 5 years living in Vietnam, Mexico, Guatemala, the US, Brazil and Ecuador. He is currently residing and working at a shamanic healing center in the Andes where he supports others on their healing journeys with Ayahuasca and San Pedro.

If you're listening to this podcast, it's likely that the topics of health and wellness are often on your mind. You probably keep an eye out for the latest superfood discoveries, health hacks and big "no-no" ingredients to avoid. You may even have tried a few of the life-changing products and tools that I use every day to support my energy and wellness.
But how often do you contemplate aging and death?
We generally avoid these topics in our culture due to the uncomfortable reminder that life is finite. In today's conversation, Jason Prall shares how he's sought out these realities head-on in attempts to understand how people around the world live, age and die. How you live now will determine how you live later, and though we DO all age (if we're lucky!) and die, there are proven ways to mature healthfully and gracefully, manage biological age, embrace discomfort and become clear on exactly what we are living for. Yes, Jason Prall is back on the show to teach us about the famous Blue Zones, hormetic stress and how to become a wise elder. His first episode on Awakening Aphrodite is one of my all-time favorites - if you missed it, check it out here: 180. Orienting to Ease, Unlocking Your Power by Expressing Your Feminine and Changing Your Reality with Jason Prall
Jason Prall is a health educator, practitioner, author and filmmaker. In 2018, his independent research and experience as a practitioner led him to create "The Human Longevity Project," a nine-part film series that uncovers the true nature of chronic disease in our modern world. He's currently working on his next film series that explores ancient methods of healing mind, body, and soul from indigenous cultures around the world. He's recently released his best-selling new book titled “Beyond Longevity: A Proven Plan for Healing Faster, Feeling Better, and Thriving at Any Age."

What do you do first thing in the morning?
Do you hit the snooze button? Scroll through social media or check emails?
Do you have a morning routine?
Research has shown that a morning routine has the ability to increase happiness, reduce procrastination, boost confidence, and improve overall performance. The most successful people in the world recognize the benefits of this practice and stick to it no matter how busy they are. Your morning routine doesn't have to be long and elaborate to work its magic!
In today's Fast Friday, I will share an excerpt from Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss that describes Tony Robbins' personal morning routine. Here is the outline, which I will explain in detail:
- Feel gratitude for three things
- Focus on the feeling and presence of god
- Visualize three things you're going to make happen today!
I will also be sharing some personal anecdotes about the busy phases of life, the importance of taking a few minutes each day to connect with nature, and the difference between attracting your desired outcome versus utilizing the law of resonance.

Do you ever find yourself struggling to comprehend the meaning of life?
Have you ever desperately wanted something but the Universe seemed to have other plans for you?
Rudi Verspoor is BACK on Awakening Aphrodite and ready to share his rich knowledge on awakening to purpose and healing the root cause of trauma, illness and misfortune. Our first conversation, Episode 175 is a must-listen with extraordinary insights on society's current issues and alternative healing modalities. In today's conversation, Rudi explains the laws of Karma and Reincarnation and how they apply to our lives in ways both practical and esoteric. Rudi also illuminates the important distinctions between needs and desires, belief versus trust/faith and victimhood versus autonomy and accountability. If you're seeking a deeper understanding of your life's significance, THIS is the episode for you!
Rudi Verspoor is the Dean of the Hahnemann Center for Heilkunst and Homeopathy and has been studying and practicing homeopathy, Heilkunst, and Romantic Science Healthcare for more than two decades. He has extensive clinical experience that has resulted in the ability to identify and remove underlying causes preventing optimal health and wellbeing, particularly those relating to complex and chronic cases where other health professionals and modalities have failed, including allopathic, functional and holistic health professionals! He has written several books and has shared his knowledge lecturing in many countries around the globe. From 1993 to early 2001, he served as the Director of the British Institute of Homeopathy Canada. Seeing the need for more comprehensive education and training in Heilkunst, he established the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst and the School for Romantic Science and Healthcare.

Do you get a stomach ache, headache or backache when you're under significant stress?
How does your body speak to you? Do you listen?
It's so easy to get lost in the cerebral logistics and intricacies of everyday life while losing track of what it truly feels like to be present in the body.
In this episode, medical intuitive and body whisperer Christine Lang will share her story of how she pivoted from lawyer to healer while navigating the powerful masculine and feminine energies of both worlds. We'll talk about the importance of asking questions, raising curious children and living to be "unique" as opposed to "famous." Christine gives key tips for connecting with your own spirit to become your own medical intuitive, and shares her unique meditation practice which allows her to commune with the energetic essence of herself, her clients and the universe. You'll even get a taste of what it's like to be Christine's client towards the end when she reads my energy field!
is a former attorney who now works as a medical intuitive, with the ability to see a person’s energy and hear their spirit! In her classes and private sessions Christine acts as a translator for a client’s spirit, sharing guidance on how their body – and their life – got to where it is today. Christine helps you understand how your physical symptoms are frequently messages from your spirit, guiding you towards better relationships, a more fulfilling life, and complete healing. Christine has a thriving international practice, comprised of referrals from doctors, therapists, and holistic practitioners. She is the founder of Intuitive Energy Healing and has trained thousands of people to hear their spirit and to perform energy healing work.
“We need energy for the great awakening we need warriors we need God us warriors we need people to be as healthy and centered and clear and strong as possible. Make no mistake about it we’re in the fight of our lives right now!” (Amy)

You know that feeling when you’re frustrated, absolutely at the end of your rope and on the verge of throwing up your hands and giving up?
Or perhaps you’re an occasional procrastinator and have experienced the terror of a seemingly insurmountable to-do list that you can’t bring yourself to face quite yet…
I think we ALL know those feelings all too well!
What if the simple answer to handling these daily challenges and frustrations with ease and grace was… priming your state?
In the Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss, Tony Robbins is quoted as asking: “Is this really a problem I need to think my way out of, or is it possible I just need to adjust my biochemistry?” In a frustrated or low-vibrational emotional state, we only see problems, not solutions. Robbins’ cure for this is to change your biochemistry, or “prime your state.” And guess what? It’s SIMPLE! In this episode I’ll share several easy examples that you can do right now to switch up your mindset, raise your vibration and transform your energy for your next task at hand. Happy Friday!

What are the principles you use to navigate life’s beauty and challenges?
Are your principles written down, or are they seamlessly integrated into your subconscious where you know they’re there, but haven’t quite defined them yet?
I find it inspiring to learn about others’ principles to help orient myself to the directions of my own soul’s compass. I first learned about the Universal Principles by Arnold Patent and Victor R. Beasley from Paul Chek, my long-time friend and mentor. He recommended reading one principle each morning to inspire a thoughtful and productive day ahead. I find it especially effective to read these principles when I feel challenged with one of life’s obstacles or stuck in a situation that is difficult to move through. I have noticed that one principle will inevitably “pop out” at me as a helpful tip for how to reframe my situation – an inspiration and reminder to tap into my inner power.

What does it feel like to follow your intuition?
What are the forces that influence your journey, and how do you find JOY and PURPOSE in the process?
What do you orient to in your life, and what kind of warrior will you be?
Welcome to one of my favorite interviews of all time. Jason Prall is a health educator, practitioner, author and filmmaker. In 2018, his independent research and experience as a practitioner led him to create "The Human Longevity Project," a nine-part film series that uncovers the true nature of chronic disease in our modern world. He's currently working on his next film series that explores ancient methods of healing mind, body, and soul from indigenous cultures around the world. He's recently released his best-selling new book titled “Beyond Longevity: A Proven Plan for Healing Faster, Feeling Better, and Thriving at Any Age."
As you'll soon hear, this conversation took us in a completely different direction than planned! Stay tuned for my upcoming interview with Jason (Part 2!), in which I plan to ask him all about his findings on how to live a thriving, healthy, fun, fulfilling functional life in our older years.

The role of intergenerational trauma and collective suffering on our health and how to find trust in challenging processes
-

Are you struggling to manifest what you desire in your life?
Perhaps it's a level of success, a lifestyle, a house, a family, a lover, a way of being, that you strive and wish and dream for, but your goal seems to lie just outside your reach?
The need for rain and the obstacle of drought may be seen as an analogy to this universal struggle. Rainmaking, an important cultural tradition for Indigenous people around the world, is a beautiful solution that we can learn to symbolically practice in our own lives.
"Many Tribes on Native American reservations throughout the U.S. continue to practice rainmaking. For example, the Ohlone, Lakota and Cherokee, all practice a rain dance to bring life to the earth. Other times, the dance is done to bring cleansing and renew peoples’ connection to the earth. Today, these dances continue to serve as a form of prayer – an invitation or a request for life-giving rain to come back to the land, especially in areas where droughts are common. Water is life, and without it the people would not be nourished, the plants would not grow and the animals would not thrive. ~ Tristan Picotte from Partnership with Native Americans
This conversation is about bringing the cleansing practice of rainmaking into our lives to allow Nature/the Universe/God/the Divine/Source to help us co-create our dreams.
"In order to co-create with nature, we have to clear all the things that are preventing us from allowing what we want to happen come in."

Have you heard of the ketogenic diet or ever considered trying it for yourself?
The keto diet is widely ostracized for misconceptions about what it means and how it impacts the body. Today's guest will address those misconceptions and fill you in on how to fill yourself for high energy and radiant health without giving up on the foods you enjoy the most!
I have the honor of presenting Maria Emmerich, one of the biggest names in the ketogenic diet space. She struggled with her health and weight throughout childhood which led her to become a passionate nutrition expert. Maria specializes in brain neurotransmitters and how food can improve mental wellness – which is one of the things I love about her because that’s one of my favorite topics! Her expertise has sent her around the world speaking about ketogenic diets and I was fortunate enough to accompany her on a group trip to Italy in 2017 where we instantly hit it off.
Maria has helped thousands to not only lose weight but also get healthy and reduce and eliminate medications, normalize hormonal issues, heal diabetes, mood problems, high blood pressure, autoimmune disorders, skin problems, anxiety, depression and even MS. She has also cooked with Halle Berry and writes for Halle’s website and is one of the most prolific authors I know with over 20 cookbooks! Find Maria's resources, books and programs at https://amyfournier.com/keto-adapted/ and use my code "AMY" to receive a special discount on her eBook!

Do you have a "lucky" number?
Did you know that, with some simple information about your birthday, you can deduce your Life Path Number and learn how that applies to your mission in this lifetime?
The field of numerology is fascinating, with layer upon complex layer of meaning that we'll just begin to explore in this fun introduction. Numerology is the practice of assigning numerical values to letters in a word, name or phrase, in order to determine its hidden significance. Many believe that it can reveal insights into personality, life path, and even predict future events.
Today, we will learn about the symbolistic significance of numbers 0-10, and I'll tell you how to find your own Life Path number! Each step from zero to ten represents a concept, an idea or transformative chapter of our worldly experience and beyond. You will learn about the underlying meanings of each number and how it relates to yours and your loved ones' lives.

Are you a fan of the TV series Game of Thrones?
I sure am!
If you are you might recall the character referred to as the "Red Woman," who is also known in ancient lore as Sekhmet.
Feared by many for her magical abilities and intellectual wiles, Sekhmet says: "I am pure strength. I honor my anger by giving voice to it."
Today's episode is the third of our special Fast Friday series on divine feminine archetype, goddesses, priestesses, saints, mystics and all-around epic females where we focus on the Red Woman/Sekmet, and the divine Greek-Roman Huntress and Goddess of the Wilderness, Diana - also known as Artemis, or you might know as Wonder Woman! As I've mentioned in several previous episodes, I personally resonate highly with Diana/Artemis for reasons I get into!
One of my favorite quotes attributed to her is: "The language of the natural world is the frequency of love - this is my mother tongue." - Diana, Goddess of the Hunt, Wilderness and Moon
Like the powerhouse female icons discussed in Episode 163 and Episode 166, Sekhmet and Diana are two earthshaking embodiments of the Divine Feminine that all women need to be aware of because doing so can help tap into their abilities and essence within OURSELVES. Today's two featured forms represent The Feminine in powerful, dynamic yet unique ways that are often not depicted in mainstream narratives. Remember: the Divine Feminine energy within us all is a force that can be as powerful as a tsunami or as soft as a lullaby. I believe the trick to embodying Her energy is to have the discretion to know WHEN the right time is for tapping into a selected aspect of her many faces and when to express more of the Divine Masculine in you - not an easy task I know! But don't worry, I'm here to help and that's what this show is all about! :)
This is Part III of a multi-part series on figures who represent divine femininity featuring the Divine Feminine Oracle Cards by Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Master of Divinity and profound feminist theologian, Meggan Watterson.
Each of the figures we discuss in this series represents something in YOU. We are a blend of the diving and the human, the animal and the spiritual. If at any point you find that one of these figures resonate with you, it may be reverberating with hidden aspect of you that longs to be expressed.

"You don't have to be stuck in illness. There is a rational method for transforming illness into evolution of mind and consciousness. If we are sick we don't need to be fixed, but rather helped to change our state of mind and being." - Rudi Verspoor
My amazing guest today, Rudi Verspoor, is the Dean of the Hahnemann Center for Heilkunst and Homeopathy and has been studying and practicing homeopathy, Heilkunst, and Romantic Science Healthcare for more than two decades. He has extensive clinical experience that has resulted in the ability to identify and remove underlying causes preventing optimal health and wellbeing, particularly those relating to complex and chronic cases where other health professionals and modalities have failed, including allopathic, functional and holistic health professionals! He has written several books and has shared his knowledge extensively, lecturing in many countries including Canada, the US, the UK, and throughout Europe. From 1993 to early 2001, he served as the Director of the British Institute of Homeopathy Canada. Seeing the need for more comprehensive education and training in Heilkunst, he established the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst and the School for Romantic Science and Healthcare.
Today we get into the core theories that support homeopathy and true healing. Rudi shares his wisdom on healing trauma, the roots of disease, Aristotle's levels of causation, the issue of childhood vaccination, the opposing forces of control and individuation and the inescapable journey we all must face to embody your true, healthy self.
If you're not subscribed to Awakening Aphrodite already, be sure to hit that button to stay notified when Rudi returns for Part II where we will discuss Divine Timing, the role of Karma and of course, Navigating the Great Polarities: the Masculine/Feminine dynamic in life!!
You can find more about Rudi at: rudi@homeopathy.com, www.homeopathy.com and www.MyHealthPlan.Center. You can also reach out to Frances Quin at reception@homeopathy.com and access Rudi's various authored works on Amazon.

Are you eating your vegetables???
But really, ARE you?
What if I told you that the full nutritional profile of an entire plate of vegetables can fit inside ONE tablet...the size of a tic tac!

Do you feel as though your feminine flow or creative channel were blocked, preventing your full soul's expression?
Are you interested in becoming an empowered, financially literate and free individual?
Financial security is all about the root chakra, which is essential for the wellness of your body, mind and soul.
Today we welcome back Ann Moller, who made her first appearance on Episode 168: Getting to Good with an Unexpected Career Pivot & Embracing Your Intuitive Guidance. Ann is an intuitive, singer, actor, and coach. Her mission is to offer and inspire human connection and expression straight from the heart and soul. She began working professionally as an actress at age 15, and for many years her "day job" was editing books for both bestselling authors and newbies alike. Ann is a classically trained mezzo soprano with a B.A. in English from Yale University. It is her firm conviction that what the world needs most is each of us, in our purest, bravest, most honest, and most open form. In order to do that, we all need grounding and currency. And that's where our gold and silver membership comes in. Ann loves helping people access real money, create community, and truly prosper on every level.
In this episode, we discuss the importance of grounding yourself financially as a requirement for health and wellbeing - particularly if you are a woman. Developing a safe container in this way encourages creative and feminine energies to flow and express themselves. Financial security is CRITICAL in order to be healthy and fully self-actualized. If you are interested in securing your finances, please check out this link for more detailed info from Amy: https://amyfournier.com/financialfreedom/
Please note, like all episodes, this show is intended to support, inspire and empower you and not to be considered legal, medical or financial advice.

What does it mean to be a spiritual warrior?
How can we find the courage to be authentic, open-hearted and loving to ourselves and others, even when life's chips are down?
Welcome back to the Awakening Aphrodite Fast Friday, a snippet of inspiration for the end of your week! Today's discussion is focused on Mark Nepo's work, The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have. This episode is a sequel to Episode 169, my first time sharing the words of Mark Nepo on contemplating surrender, resilience & the courage of a seed.
Mark Nepo is a philosopher-poet and cancer survivor whose writing offers an escape from the challenges of life in a way that is both profound and clarifying. This spiritual daybook is a summons to reclaim aliveness, liberate the self, take each day one at a time, and savor the beauty offered by life's unfolding. He speaks of spirit and friendship, urging readers to stay vital and in love with this life, no matter the hardships. Encompassing many traditions and voices, Nepo's words offer insight on pain, wonder, and love.
“All Spiritual Warriors have a broken heart. This is because it is only through the break, that the wonders and mysteries of life can enter us.”

Why do so many men and women who tend to be over-masculinized (like so many of us are in our culture) struggle to express and understand their emotions?
How can we embrace both our masculine and feminine energies to feel stable, comfortable and open to feeling the roller coaster emotions of life?
Today’s solocast explores an article in Psychology Today by Dr. Assael Romanelli on the state of today’s male psyche. This article references the work of several mental health professionals including Avrun Wiess, PhD., Jett Stone and David Rettew, MD. We take a deep dive into current trends in male psychology, including the challenge of identifying and naming emotions, the persistent pressure to conform to non-expressive masculine norms and the covert signs of depression in men all around us. I also share tips from the article that offer strategies for creating emotional connection and building new friendships. Men and women alike will likely relate to these issues on some level - for the Divine Masculine is within us all. Let’s work together to support each other, hold space for our emotions and find the courage to experience life at a safe distance outside the comfort zone!

What does it mean to surrender?
How can we trust the process and not give up, even when it feels impossible?
Welcome back to the Awakening Aphrodite Fast Friday, a snippet of inspiration for the end of your week! In today's discussion, I will be reading from Mark Nepo's work, The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have. Nepo is a philosopher-poet and cancer survivor whose writing offers an escape from the challenges of life in a way that is both profound and clarifying. This spiritual daybook is a summons to reclaim aliveness, liberate the self, take each day one at a time, and savor the beauty offered by life's unfolding. He speaks of spirit and friendship, urging readers to stay vital and in love with this life, no matter the hardships. Encompassing many traditions and voices, Nepo's words offer insight on pain, wonder, and love.
“In nature, we are quietly offered countless models of how to give ourselves over to what appears dark and hopeless, but which ultimately is an awakening beyond our imagining. All around us, everything small and buried surrenders to a process that none of the buried parts can see. We call this process seeding and this innate surrender allows everything edible and fragrant to break ground into a life of light that we call Spring. As a seed buried in earth can’t imagine itself as an orchid or hyacinth, neither can a heart packed with hurt or a mind filmed over with despair imagine itself loved or at peace. The courage of the seed is that, once cracking, it cracks all the way. To move through the dark into blossom is the work of soul.”

Ann is a classically trained mezzo soprano with a B.A. in English from Yale University.

“Sexual energy is sacred. My pleasure is a prayer that brings me back to life." - Isis, Goddess of Magic
“I am the voice of my body and soul. I choose a life that I desire to live." - Lilith, the First Woman
As the sequel of our Fast Friday series on divine feminine characters, today's episode focuses on the First Woman and the Egyptian Goddess of Magic and Wisdom. Like those discussed in Episode 163, Isis and Lilith are two earthshaking embodiments of the Divine Feminine. They represent her in powerful, dynamic ways that are often not depicted in mainstream narratives. The Divine Feminine energy within us all is a force that can be as powerful as a tsunami or as soft as a lullaby. I believe the trick to embodying Her energy is to have the discretion to know WHEN the right time is for tapping into a selected aspect of her many faces.
This is Part II of a multi-part series on figures who represent divine femininity featuring the Divine Feminine Oracle Cards by Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Master of Divinity and profound feminist theologian, Meggan Watterson. On her website, Meggan states:
"I wanted to be spiritual in a way that allowed me to be as at home in my soul as I am in my skin. Separating my sexuality from my spirituality didn’t work for me, because it wasn’t true to my experience. For me, it was only by winning back my body—by daring to really be present to all I was feeling in my body—that I finally began to connect to what is eternal in me. The body then wasn’t an obstacle but, in a way, the goal."
Each of the figures we will discuss in this series represents something in you. We are a blend of the diving and the human, the animal and the spiritual. If at any point you find that one of these figures resonate with you, it may be reverberating with hidden aspect of you that longs to be expressed.

Did you know that in 2022, red meat consumption dropped by a whopping 44%? Animal fat utilization declined by 78%, butter by 68%, and margarine increased by a staggering 192%! The mainstream anti-meat narrative has altered our collective beliefs about nutrition - and potentially with dire consequences.
But don't worry, we're not here to scare you - in fact, we're here to empower you with the knowledge you need to make the best choices for your body. This episode is all about reclaiming vitality through nutrition. We'll take you on a journey through the world of food and agriculture, revealing the powerful impact it has on your body and the truth behind the greenwashing, low prices and other product label illusions that complicate our food choices.
Our amazing guest for today is Autumn Smith, cofounder of Paleovalley. Their mission is to create products with integrity that are free from problematic ingredients and teeming with ingredients that promote vibrant health. They prioritize nutrient density in an industry that prioritizes everything else, and believe that every dietary choice and every added ingredient is a powerful opportunity to love and care for yourself.
In this episode, Autumn fills us in on regenerative agriculture, climate change, and the vital role animals play in our ecosystem. She shares a sneak peek into her exciting upcoming docuseries, "Rethink Meat," which is being created to help dispel the myth that meat is dangerous. We also discuss the dangers of conventional agriculture and the critical role that soil health plays in our food choices. I hope this conversation helps you make sense of terms like "pasture-raised" and "free-range", so you can make the best choices when buying products and avoid being misled by labels. If you identify as a vegetarian or vegan, you'll be especially sure to learn something new ;)

What would your life be like if you could control your inner dialogue and live in full awareness of its messaging?
Carl Jung talks about how we all have a subconscious "secret story" that runs the background programming of our lives. This inner voice creates our experience of reality. Yet most of us are not even aware of it! Bringing this voice into the conscious plane is the KEY to understanding ourselves and making positive changes in our lives.
In today's episode, I sit down with my guest, Mark England who is a master at helping people identify their secret story, their true beliefs and the power of their words. Mark is a TEDx speaker and co-founder of Enlifted: a business that supports clients and coaches as they unlock limiting subconscious patterns and embrace their potential. He began his career as an elementary school teacher and now has 15 years of experience researching and speaking on the power of language.
In today's episode, Mark teaches us the definition of the victim mentality and its true nature as an acquired trait. Language is inherited - for better or for worse. You'll learn all about the three pillars of conflict language, the importance of writing down your inner dialogue and the extent to which breathing influences the way we inhabit our lives. Mark defines "atelephobia" for us and finishes with helpful tips on which words we should be using MORE of in our daily lives. Our conversation is all about creating space in your life and ultimately becoming an empowered and optimistic individual.
If you love learning about the power of language, I highly recommend Episode 72 featuring Nonviolent Communication expert Dr. Wayland Myers and Episode 69 with Laurel Arnica, the Metaphysical Mother Goose.

“I am the bridge between heaven and earth. I am fully human and fully divine." - Mary Magdalene, Apostle to the Apostles
“I release all that doesn’t serve me. It is time to be the truth of who I am.” - Kali, Mother of the Universe
Today I will tell you about a mystic and a goddess: two earthshaking, trailblazing figures who represent the Divine Feminine in powerful, dynamic ways that are often not depicted in mainstream narratives. The Divine Feminine energy within us all is a force that can be as powerful as earthquake or as soft as a lullaby. I believe the trick to embodying her energy in our everyday lives is to have the discretion to know when to tap into a selected aspect of her many faces.
This is Part I of a multi-part series on figures who represent divine femininity featuring the Divine Feminine Oracle Cards by Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Master of Divinity and profound feminist theologian, Meggan Watterson. On her website, Meggan states:
"I wanted to be spiritual in a way that allowed me to be as at home in my soul as I am in my skin. Separating my sexuality from my spirituality didn’t work for me, because it wasn’t true to my experience. For me, it was only by winning back my body—by daring to really be present to all I was feeling in my body—that I finally began to connect to what is eternal in me. The body then wasn’t an obstacle but, in a way, the goal."
Each of the figures we will discuss in this series represents something in you. We are a blend of the diving and the human, the animal and the spiritual. If at any point you find that one of these figures resonate with you, it may be reverberating with hidden aspect of you that longs to be expressed.

How can we be “healthy” in a world full of environmental toxins, agricultural pesticides, heavy metals and round-the-clock EMF exposure?
What if I told you there was a SIMPLE and evidence-based solution to these problems that doesn’t require an expensive gym membership, elaborate recipes, jars upon jars of supplements or even leaving your home? Are you with me?
Thermotherapy and photobiomodulation are ancestral healing technologies that have supported human wellness since the beginning. Borrowing ideas from the healing components of sunlight and the deeply restorative benefits of sauna, Brian Richads, my guest today, pioneered the technology that is now SaunaSpace. His company was the answer to my YEARS-long quest for a space-friendly home sauna. My Infrared Sauna is downright the best investment I have ever made in myself and my business. Check out their beautiful website here and save at checkout using my code FITAMYTV5!
In today’s fascinating conversation, Brian explains the basics of incandescent light and how specific frequencies interact with our cells to support mitochondrial function and regulate our circadian rhythm. We talk about the pitfalls of UV rays, blue light and screen fatigue, and how daily exposure to electronics is elevating glucose levels and rewiring dopamine centers for constant stress and hyperactivity. Brian explains his beliefs on the origins of disease, and shares how to properly sauna for evidence-based health results. We talk about passive versus active sweating, the difference between near-infrared light versus red-light therapy, and what sets SaunaSpace apart from conventional saunas and light therapies. We also discuss the savior complex, our desperate need for moments of peaceful solitude and inner work, and how anyone can begin their healing journey on a budget, as long as the heartfelt intention is there.

Have you ever found yourself in a dynamic partnership that demands rapid expansion and self-development?
Have you ever struggled to communicate with individuals of the opposite attraction, and wondered how you can improve your ability to understand their perspective?
Perhaps you’re simply curious about relationships and what they might teach you! Whatever the case may be, you’re bound complete this episode feeling filled with wonder and curiosity for the energetic masculine-feminine polarities and the eternal waves their dance creates within and between us.
My prolific guest, Alison Armstrong, is a renowned expert on the topic of men and women's relationships. With over 30 years of experience, Allison has authored best-selling books, developed online courses, and even created her own app. I'm thrilled to discuss with her how we can better understand each other and create more harmonious relationships by tapping into our intuition and authentic selves. Throughout our heart-to-heart conversation, Allison emphasizes the importance of honoring oneself first, stating that without it, all is lost. She also discusses the importance of honoring our own needs, the wisdom in recognizing our instinctual drives, and how holding “expectations,” whether consciously or unconsciously, can drive couples apart. We also delve into what each gender wants the other to know, offering valuable insights into the way men and women think and communicate. Lastly, we discuss how to awaken Aphrodite within ourselves, with Allison offering an important addendum on what to do once we have achieved that state.
Overall, this episode is full of wisdom and practical advice on how to improve relationships and find greater fulfillment in life. So buckle in, and let’s take our relationships with ourselves and others to the next level.

Is the difference between a goddess and a princess?
What does it mean to be a "strong" and "intense" or "intimidating woman?
How can we be the light and find ways to proactively empower and protect our sisters in this world?
This conversation will take you on a deep dive into the feminine rising and the power of the goddess. Our special guest today is Sierra Bender, who you may recognize from one of the earliest Awakening Aphrodite episodes (see Episode 17!), a conversation that covers the inspiring personal story of Sierra and her metamorphosis into the innovative goddess warrior you hear today.
Sierra has transformed and inspired the lives of over 5 million women and girls in less than 3 decades. She has been on the speaking circuit since 1996 to serve with compassion and fierceness. Her best-selling book, personal empowerment workshops, retreats and professional trainings have been featured around the globe. Sierra’s insistence on integrity, humility, truth-telling and love–the full-capacity living her 4 Body Fit™Method embodies–sets her above the fray. She is a powerhouse, specializing in women’s empowerment and trauma healing as well as spiritual, mental, emotional and physical wellness. You can join her Warrior Goddess community, sign up for her Goddess Up! blog, learn about the innovative 4 Body Fit™ empowerment system and so much more at sierrabender.com.
In this episode, we explore the idea of embodying the goddess warrior and what it means to be an empowered woman. We discuss emotional boundaries and the importance of standing up for your needs and values (with righteous anger, when necessary!). Sierra also shares her insights on the magnetism of inner light and talks about why women need to stop taking things so personally. Speaking your truth is an important step towards openly embodying the goddess, and Sierra encourages us to have the tenacity to wield the Sword of Truth.
This episode is a passionate, power-packed discussion that will inspire you to embrace your inner goddess and live your most fulfilling life. If you enjoyed our conversation, sharing your kind thoughts & feedback in a review is the ULTIMATE way to support Awakening Aphrodite.

How do we balance it all?
How do we prioritize self-care, nourish our bodies and minds, build healthy relationships, pursue our passions, meet the responsibilities and expectations of society, find success and generate satisfactory income, all while leading joyful, meaningful lives authentically from the heart-center?
The answers to these complex questions are thoughtfully explored in today’s episode with the exceptional Josh Trent. Josh is the host of the popular and much-loved Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, and you may also recognize him as a guest from Episode 139: The Sacred Polarities Panel Part I.
One topic that stood out to me today was Josh's concept of “unconscious capitalism,” a refreshing take on the true meaning of currency as a tool and modified form of energy and time. We delve into an array of other powerful topics and paradoxes, such as cultivating self-love through all of our seasons and missed-takes (mistakes), the gender confusion of our time, aspects of trusty leadership, and finally, what it means to awaken Aphrodite. Josh's genuine and thoughtful answers provided insights and wisdom on various topics, making this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their overall well-being.

What was your favorite story as a child?
Reconnecting with beloved stories of your youth is a wonderful way to tap into your inner child.
As we delve into this topic, I want to share with you one of my all-time favorite childhood stories: The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. This beautifully illustrated book holds a special place in my heart, and I love how simple yet powerful its message is.
In our daily lives, we often overlook the importance of simple things like sunlight, water, and sleep, which are foundational aspects of our health. Similarly, the message of The Giving Tree is centered around the simple but profound concept of giving and receiving love.
As we navigate our way through life, it is essential to spend time with our inner child to hear what they have to say and fold their story into all of who we are now. Through this process, we can learn to embrace the simple yet powerful aspects of life, such as the ability to give and receive love. So, join us as we explore the significance of healing our inner child and embracing the beauty of giving and receiving love.
If you're interested in Inner Child healing work, I highly recommend tuning into Episode 43. Exploring Your Inner Child with Rosanne Grace: Abandonment, Fear, Karma, Vulnerability, Past Lives and Learning From The Ego.

Do you long to reawaken the thrills and wonders of adventure, mystery and magic in your daily routine?
Do you feel emotionally drained or a lack of purpose in your life?
If this is the case, I’d like to prescribe you with a little mythology. Joseph Campbell once said that "myths are stories that never happened, but are happening all the time". Carl Jung taught us that myths exist to bring us into a level of consciousness that is spiritual. Myths have propelled the circulation of knowledge, information, history and values since the dawn of humanity. They transcend cultures, space and time and are applicable regardless of societal beliefs or geographical location. Best of all, I know for me personally, myths have brought back a sense of the mysterious and miraculous and have ignited my imagination and ability to live with wonder and lightness.
Pamela Jaye Smith is an experienced mythologist, writer, and media consultant who has worked in various forms of media production for over 35 years. She has formal education in Comparative Mysticism and is a certified teacher of the Mystery Schools. She is the founder of MYTHWORKS and co-founder of Mythic Challenges, which helps people create media that addresses global challenges identified by the United Nations and other organizations. Pamela has authored six books for media makers, and she helps people enhance their stories using mythic themes, archetypes, and symbols. Smith appears as a mythology expert on Ice Age: Continental Drift, The Great Work, Forbidden Secrets, Microsoft’s “Age of Mythology” game and American Jedi. Additionally, she is a Master Mason in a co-ed Lodge. You can find more about Pamela, her products and work at pamelajayesmith.net.
Our discussion today covers a variety of topics, including the definition and utilization of mythology, the Five Initiations, the myth of Prometheus and the value of authentic thought unswayed by emotional dogma. Pamela helps us understand the central themes of our lives beyond the "Hero's Journey" monomyth, and draws correlations between common human identities and the mythological characters they represent.

Congratulations, you've found the perfect episode to tune into! Welcome to Awakening Aphrodite's first Fast Friday episode of March! Today is the final episode of a 3 part series in which I share excerpts and tips from the self-help book, “Ultimate Confidence: The Secrets to Feeling Great about Yourself Every Day” by Marisa Peer. If you haven't already, be sure to check out Part I, Episode 147: Transformative Mind Hacks for Redirecting your Inner Critic, and Part II, Episode 150: 10 Habits that Threaten your Relationships.

- Don’t try to be perfect.
- Find out what you love to do, and do it!

- Be altruistic.
- Express your hurt feelings as soon as you can. Don’t wait to tell someone they’ve hurt your feelings.

- Use the words, “I am choosing to,” or “I am choosing not to.”
- Eat some serotonin-boosting foods every day!

What do you think about when you think about nurturing yourself?
How does it make your feel? What is your first reaction?
The concept of self-care may be foreign to you, because it is a learned behavior taught to us by our primary caretakers. For those of us who were raised to be tough and successful to the detriment of our emotional safety, the mere idea of self care may feel frustrating or confusing. But the truth is, people who succeed prioritize themselves and their desires. Contrary to societal norms, which promotes "selflessness" and giving maximal effort in all endeavors, I have learned that the self absolutely must come first. Only once the self has been nurtured can we provide for others and the collective. As they say, you can't pour from an empty cup!
So, do you struggle to nurture yourself? In this episode, I reference Laura Davis's "Courage to Heal Workbook," which was designed to support the healing journey of child abuse survivors. If self care is difficult for you, you may find insight by asking yourself the following questions:
- Are you gentle and forgiving with yourself when you make a mistake?
- Are you able to take breaks?
- Are you able to do things you enjoy?
- Are you on your own side, or are you still fighting yourself every step along the way?
- Do you give yourself credit for your accomplishments?
- Are you proud of yourself?

Loss, death and grief are inherent aspects of life on this beautiful planet. But how can we trust this cycle when the pain of losing a loved one feels like it will tear us apart? How can joy or hope coexist with this darkness?
This week, I am honored to present Amelia Kinkade, a worldwide celebrity in the field of animal communication and one of my personal spiritual mentors. This show has been blessed with her appearance once before on Episode 96, which is all about how to nourish yourself, recognize intuitive messages and communicate with animals. Today we explore the topics of death and rebirth as I struggle with the loss of my sweet longtime companion, Charlotte. As a true animal communicator, Amelia shares beautiful insights into animals' roles here on earth and the intricate pattern they weave as they dip in and out of our lives. We also discuss tips for caring for elderly pets, the "naturalness" of the so-called supernatural, and what it means to truly relate with unconditional love.
Amelia is a well-known figure who has appeared in various media outlets, including newspapers and television shows, such as The Ellen Degeneres Show and BBC News. She is particularly passionate about leading her annual Sacred Harmony Safaris in Africa and assisting organizations that rescue and protect animals such as tigers, elephants, cheetahs, penguins, and more. Additionally, she founded Amelia's Arcangel Society, a nonprofit organization that supports the education of children in rural Africa to help reduce poaching and protect endangered wildlife. You can learn all about Amelia's offerings, courses, books, luxury experiences and more at ameliakinkade.com!

What makes a successful relationship?
In today's episode, I will be reading to you from “Ultimate Confidence: The Secrets to Feeling Great about Yourself Every Day” by Marisa Peer. This will be Part II of a multi-episode Fast Friday series inspired by Marisa, so stay tuned!
The practice of giving and receiving love is laden with valuable (and oftentimes challenging!) lessons that compel us all to confront our deepest fears and unconscious mechanisms. This is Earth School, after all! Though each relationship - be it romantic, platonic, or familial - is beautifully unique in its own way, there are some well-defined red flags that we must recognize and avoid if we hope to build healthy relationships:
- Stop stonewalling
- Avoid contempt, scorn, mockery & superiority
- Avoid destructive criticism
- Steer clear of hitting below the belt
- Avoid defensiveness
- Stop referencing the past and past wrongdoings
- Understand the damage that results from threatening to leave the relationship
- Avoid the wrong roles in the relationships
- Avoid exaggerations and generalizations
- Don’t make your rules more important than your relationship
Marisa Peer is a world renowned speaker, Rapid Transformational Therapy trainer and best-selling author.

What if I told you that your dharma is stored in a great cosmic library, along with all that has been and all that will ever be?
My previous conversation with Vanessa Lambert (check out Episode 145!) was so enjoyable and inspiration-packed that the topic took on a life of its own and we didn’t get to nearly half of the question I’d planned to cover! So, in today’s special episode, I ask Vanessa all about her experiences as a teacher of the mysterious Akashic Records. What is this cosmic library, and what does it feel like to access its information? Vanessa shares several mind-blowing realizations she divined from the Records both personally and for her clients. We also discuss what it means to be a lightworker, how to find grounding in your body, and how to be a clear channel for the Divine to work through.
Vanessa has been a conduit for group and individual transformation for the past 30 years. As both a coach as well as a retreat facilitator, she offers a more holistic approach to health, fitness and spirituality rooted in her own insatiable pursuit of the World’s leading edge of healing modalities, whether they be modern or ancient in origin. Vanessa is the co-founder of Bee The Wellness and founder of Starseed Collective, both of which showcase her unique flavor and ability to cultivate community by creating dynamic, healing containers to facilitate groups and individuals who seek transformative change through holistic means.
Vanessa and her husband host an incredible annual Bee Fest event (next scheduled for April 2023!), which YOU are encouraged to join with her gracious discount for Awakening Aphrodite listeners… are you ready for this? If you sign up for Bee-Fest Palmaïa and enter the word “awakening” at checkout, you will receive $500 off this event. It is a 5-day festival created for the spiritual, the seekers, the poets, and the dreamers…. You will bond with other incredible humans who are also ready to alchemize this experience into pure potential! You might even see me there :)

Friends, get ready for something that's going to change your life! I am so excited to share today's episode with you with my guest, Dr. Ibraham Karim, Egyptian Architect and Scientist (D.Sc./Dipl.Arch.-ETH, Zurich). Dr. Karim is the creator of BioGeometry which is the science of the subtle energies that is taking the world by storm and been a complete gamer-changer for me. In a nutshell, BioGeometry shows us how so many things other than just physical matter and what we can perceive with our 5 senses, can affect our life: things such as shapes, colors, numbers, angles and sounds. Dr. Karim takes us on a deep dive into the origins of creation, life force and the origins of the masculine and feminine forces. He also helps us make sense of our time-space perception and shares the all important "intellect of the heart" and gives some insight into what reincarnation REALLY is, plus the sacred power of the womb and how sex is a portal to the Divine....plus so much more!
The ultimate goal of BioGeometry is to help us recreate the harmonizing and empowering balanced energy of sacred power spots (think the Great Pyramid, holy sites, etc.) in our everyday lives - this is very real and practical stuff friends - I have been an avid student of BioGeometry for years now and experience it's benefits directly EVERY DAY (as do my pets, plants, friends, etc...).
And you can too!
Purchase your own special energy harmonizing items for yourself and/or your home using my discount code "AMYFOURNIER" at https://amyfournier.com/biogeometry/ and you can check out my IG channel, @FitAmyTV to see all the various ways I use BioGeometry in my life every day! BioGeometry has become a part of my natural lifestyle and I am so very grateful to Dr. Karim and his team for bringing it to the world. I really hope you try it for yourself so you can feel more harmonized too!
Thank you so much for tuning in. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss my next interview with Dr. Karim in Part 2 coming soon!

The section I'll be reading in this episode focuses on how to silence your inner critic. To truly tune down that voice, we first need to understand why it's there. What purpose does the inner critic serve? We also must come to terms with the basic function of the mind, which is this: to answer questions.
The real transformation begins when we learn how to ask questions in such a way that our minds are set free to generate empowering and life-affirming answers.

Okay, so we each have these two "sacred polarities" within us. But what do masculinity and femininity really mean in a day-to-day context? How do we harmonize, or, more importantly in the modern day, IDENTIFY with these archetypal energies?
Welcome back to the Sacred Polarities Podcast Part II, in which our amazing 6 guests (minus Josh this time!) get personal about the role of the sacred Masculine and Feminine in their lives. How does the modern perspective on masculinity and femininity challenge them, and how does it support their identities, values and commitments? We also get real about (our thoughts on) gender confusion, men's circles, breastfeeding, motherhood, anger... and a whole lot more.

In light of the chaos, novelty and disjointed social connection of our time... how can we truly take care of ourselves?
In this Fast Friday episode, I will whisk you back to an essential teaching from Marilyn DuMont, my esteemed guest on Awakening Aphrodite Episode 54, Understanding and Working with Planetary Shifts and Astrology in the New Aquarian Age and Episode 77, The Hopi Prophecy: Navigating Our Times with Confidence, Grace and Community While Stepping Into The 5th Dimensional Reality. Marilyn DuMont has practiced Archetypal Astrology for over 20 years and is known to incorporate AstroDrama and the psychology of the Soul in her very successful online private coaching practice. She now lives in Andrews, North Carolina where she also owns The Open Porch Metaphysical Gift Shop and Knowledge Center.
The 12 Steps to Self Care are related to the message of the Hopi Prophecy, which you can read directly from my website here. The wise Hopi elders who carried this Prophecy use direct yet poetic language to share deep insight into our global present and near future. They heed us to speak our truth and trust the quickening flow of the river as it carries humanity into the unknown. These 12 Steps to Self Care will guide you in light of this crucially important prophesy and hopefully inspire you along your journey of fulfilling your highest potential.

Have you ever fully committed to a New Years resolution?
If yes, HUGE kudos to you! If not... guess what? You're not alone!
People are notorious for failing at their New Years resolutions. It's been said that as many as 80% quit by March! Not sticking to this commitment to yourself can feel discouraging and painful to your self esteem— but the truth is, failing to stick to a new regimen or attain recently-set goals is incredibly common.
So, in this special soul-cast, I’m going to tell you all about my Secret New Years' Resolution Alternative!
My soul + heart intention for 2023 is this: I now embody the goddess in me. Tune in for a breakdown of those powerful words, my tips for tapping into your inner goddess and some advice for sticking to a commitment without beating yourself up about normal human mistakes! After all, the archetypal Feminine is all about the process and the journey, not the destination ;)

What does it mean to follow your bliss?
Do you know anyone who has embodied this principle throughout their entire life?
My guest today, Fred Provenza, has followed his heart since he began to talk. This episode explores the soul-driven decisions that brought Fred to his current position as professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University. Fred also shares key realizations he came to through research on animal and plant behaviors, his experiences through cancer diagnosis and treatment, and we discuss how our choices, relationships and environment influence our genetics to create our sense of self.
Fred is now directing an award-winning research group that pioneered an understanding of how learning influences foraging behavior and how behavior links soil, plants, herbivores, and humans. That work culminated in a program called BEHAVE, which was active from 2000-2010. BEHAVE was an international network of scientists, ranchers, farmers, and land managers committed to integrating behavioral principles with local knowledge to enhance environmental, economic, and cultural values of rural and urban communities. He is the author of three books, including "Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us About Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom" and "Foraging Behavior: Managing to Survive in a World of Change; and The Art & Science of Shepherding: Tapping the Wisdom of French Herders" (co-author with Michel Meuret). He has published over 300 research papers in a wide variety of scientific journals and been an invited speaker at well over 500 conferences. The many awards he received for research, teaching, and mentoring are the creativity that flowed from warm professional and personal relationships with over 75 graduate students, post-doctoral students, visiting scientists, and colleagues during the past 45 years.

You were born to receive.
But why is the act of receiving discouraged by our culture? What happened to that childhood thrill of receiving gifts, for example?
Now that we are grown, accepting compliments, gifts or even a small favor can feel wrong if immediate reciprocation is not provided. When was the last time you answered a compliment with a simple, “thank you!” without quickly scrambling to find something kind to say about the other person? Self-sacrifice is normalized, and even encouraged in our culture. Messages such as, “give it everything you’ve got!” and “others come first!” are rampant in the collective subconscious.
I believe that receiving is an act that stems from the feminine archetype. Do you struggle to harmonize your inner polarities of masculine and feminine energy? If this is the case for you, you may also notice an imbalance in your habits of giving and receiving.
In today’s Fast Friday episode, I will read to you from Dr. Christiane Northrup’s essential book, “Making Life Easy: A Simple Guide To A Divinely Inspired Life,” in which she discusses ways we may begin to build back the lost habit of receiving.
- Accept all compliments for 1 week
- Speak a change-me prayer
- Consciously receive from nature
We must receive to give, and give to receive. This is the law of giving and receiving.

What is the true nature of the universe beyond the senses?
What is sex magic, and how can we enter such elevated states of consciousness?
Today I am so excited to present you with American UFOlogist, occultist and celebrated author, Allen Greenfield. Allen has made appearances on countless podcasts and documentaries, including a feature on Gaia TV. He has also published many books, including the famous "The Complete Secret Cipher of the Ufonauts" and the main book we focus on in this episode, "The Grail Within." Stay tuned for his upcoming book, "The Black Lodge," which I can't wait to hear more about!
In this episode we discuss the secret societies of ancient civilizations and ways that we can transcend our human bodies to achieve higher states of consciousness. Allen shares a brief history of his research and participation in the occult realms that are becoming closer and closer to the mainstream consciousness of our strange modern time. Allen also talks about the value of mystery schools, what to avoid when seeking a mystery school, and his personal experiences with sex magic and the powers of intention.

How would you define the sacred polarities of masculinity and femininity?
How do the light and shadow characteristics of these intrinsic energies play into our daily lives and shape our modern culture?
These are just two of the many aspects of duality that we ponder in this week's special episode, featuring 7 of my favorite holistic coaches, healers, colleagues and friends. I am BEYOND excited to share this discussion with you with the hopes that it sparks introspection, inspiration and perhaps a deeper curiosity and reverence for the archetypal patterns that both challenge and support our collective human development.

Welcome back to our bi-monthly Fast Friday conversation! These mini episodes are meant to supply you with some quick tips, inspiration and motivation to support you throughout your week.
Today we are talking about mental health.
Mental health is imperative to our physical and social wellness. For many, spiritual, emotional and mental wellness undergo turbulence around the holiday season. It isn't uncommon to feel a bit nostalgic and blue around these hyped-up, darker and chillier times.
According to Mental Health America's 2022 rather grim report, 19.86% of American adults are experiencing a mental illness. That equates to nearly 50 million Americans. The estimated number of adults with serious suicidal thoughts is over 11.4 million—an increase of 664,000 compared to last year’s results.
So... how the heck do we get back on track here? In fact, what does it really mean to be mentally "well" these days?
I recently tuned into Zach Bush MD's webinar on mental health, which provided essential tips for nourishing your emotional self. I jotted down some notes on the points that resonated with me with the hopes of sharing some ideas with YOU. In this episode, you'll hear my thoughts on Zach Bush's following tips for mental wellness:
- Identifying your feelings and how they physically manifest in your body.
- Accepting these feelings without judgement.
- Creating a safe space to feel.
- Being a source of presence and supportive for yourself and others.
Sending love and peaceful well-wishes to you and yours this holiday season.

What forces are at play when we talk about LOVE?
What is the nature of human eroticism and sexual fantasy, and how have these evolved across time and cultures?
Welcome to a discussion on one of my FAVORITE topics. This episode dives deeply into the magnetic interplay between masculine and feminine energies that lie at the core of human culture and existence. And who better to discuss with than the one Dr. Keith Witt, licensed integral psychologist and sex therapist? Dr. Keith has practiced psychotherapy for over 40 years and is the author of many popular books on love, includingLoving Completely: A Five Star Practice for Creating Great Relationships. I just love having Dr. Keith Witt on this show. If you do too, you might want to check out his first feature on Awakening Aphrodite, Episode 130!
In today's discussion, we talk about the erotic polarities and how being true to the feminine essence demands high prioritization of self care. As you will hear from Dr. Keith, the Divine Feminine naturally radiates her powerful essence and has the power to project or withdraw her energy at will. Caring for Her supports this radiance, which in turn nourishes the Divine Masculine. Dr. Keith also talks about key characteristics of happy people and what they do and how having strong, energetic and emotional boundaries is critical for the Feminine. We also discuss the importance of trust, empathy and emotional flexibility.

Are you interested in walking the path of the sacred feminine?
Would you like to know more about the difference between history and herstory and how the Sacred Feminine shows up in our current culture?
Well, you're going to love today's guest, Liz Childs Kelly, a writer, award-winning researcher, educator, community builder, and host of the popular Home to Her podcast, which is dedicated to amplifying the voices of the Sacred Feminine. She is also the author of the new book, Home to Her: Walking the Transformative Path of the Sacred Feminine. Her writing has been featured in a variety of publications, including Forbes, Mashable, Rebelle Society, Human Parts (a Medium publication), and Braided Way, as well as the Girl God Books anthology Just as I am: Hymns Affirming the Divine Female. An initiated priestess in the 13 Moons lineage, she also holds certifications in Reiki, as well as Vinyasa and Yin Yoga. Liz lives in rural Virginia with her family, and can often be found exploring the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains or wandering the woods behind her home.
I absolutely love including Liz’s unique, special perspective on Awakening Aphrodite. In fact, she's been on the show before! You might want to check out Episode 70,which is about connecting to your Sacred Feminine through indigenous wisdom and transcending the traditional patriarchal career path. We discuss Liz's backstory there as well, so you might want to check that out to find out more.
In this episode, we talk about surrendering to the creative mission versus "pushing the river," per say. This flexibility and openness to all possibilities perfectly describes Liz's process of writing and publishing her new book, which you'll hear a lot more about throughout our conversation. We talk about the moon cycle and prayer practices, the archetype of the muse and the spiritual power of imagination. And, we talk about how the Sacred Feminine is not the same for everyone. Just like everything in life, right? And lastly, Liz shares tips to start walking the path of the Sacred Feminine yourself. And I'll give you a little hint. You might want to start paying attention to your heart's desires :)

Life supports me in every possible way.
What matters is how I choose to react, and what I choose to believe about myself.
Louise Hay was a legendary motivational author and creator of paradigm-shaking affirmations that offer her readers an accessible path to vibrant wellness in mind, body and spirit.
Her work has been very personally impactful to me and I have many of her books on my shelves, including You Can Heal Your Life, Heart Thoughts: A Treasury of Inner Wisdom, and Embrace Your Power.
Today I will share with you some of my favorite Louise Hay affirmations. Feel free to sit back and relax- you don't need to do anything but soak in these words. And maybe have a pen nearby just in case you'd like to jot down any affirmations that particularly stand out to you!
Please share with your loved ones, friends or anyone who comes to mind during this episode!
Positivity has a ripple effect, and every gift you share creates countless waves throughout our world (and perhaps beyond, who knows!). The point is, we’re all in this together, and the more people we can get on this frequency of good feeling, positive vibration, healthy mind body spirit, the better this place will be for all creatures.
Sending peace to you this holiday season :)

Do you feel like you have a Soul or Sacred Contract with someone, or even with YOURSELF?! Or maybe you often feel like you sabotage yourself or are stuck in subconscious patterns that keep repeating throughout your life. You're not alone!
Well, you're going to love today's show, because we get deep into the subconscious landscape and the archetype characters that reside there. My fantastic (and repeat!) guest is Greg Schmaus. Greg is the CEO of Healing 4D, a Holistic Health Practitioner, Shamanic Energy Healer, and Massage Therapist. To hear more Greg and an insightful discussion about mental and emotional fitness as well as help with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), check out Episode 49.
Greg has studied extensively with Caroline Myss, a pioneer and a giant in the field of archetypes. Caroline developed something called an archetype wheel, which involves your unique individual 12 archetypes and how they are, what their relationship is like with each other. In this episode, Greg actually casted my wheel, and as usual, I share my personal, subconscious, deep and often humiliating, vulnerable stuff with you all. So... if you wanted an insight into the subconscious mind of Amy Fournier, well, here you go. Carte blanche! ;)
Book a session with Greg to cast your Archetype Wheel at healing4d.com/programs! Greg also offers a 21 day online program, which you can find here: healing4d.com/htm. Greg has offered these opportunities to my audience at a 20% discount, which you can redeem with code AMY20.

Have you ever met a real life High Priestess?
Well, you’re in for a treat! Jenna Longmire, my guest today, is a soulful and highly accomplished being. Not only is she a singer and songwriter, but she's a healer, a writer, an ordained minister, a licensed psychotherapist and the founder of the Tree of Life Mystery School. Jenna has spent her life seeking the ways of the great mystery and the source of human suffering. She writes about the divine, feminine and spiritual awakening in her songs, memoir and her mystery school curriculum. Jenna has studied energetic, shamanic and somatic healing modalities and has explored the divine, feminine and feminist spirituality for over 25 years. After spending many years in private practice as a healer and a psychotherapist, Jenna is ready to share her budding online mystery school and her healing gifts, as well as her sacred roots of music with the world that she feels is in crisis.
In this episode, we discuss the answers of many deep questions. What are women's mysteries? What is the divine feminine and how did they come together? What is somatic alchemy and how can we integrate our soul in all of who we are in our daily lives? What are some of the issues that today's women are dealing with? What are some of their struggles and what are some of their triumphs after going through a woman's mystery school like Jenna's? And what kind of person even goes to a mystery school? How do you know if you might be interested in such a thing? Jenna shares her rituals and intentions as a high priestess and refers to self-care as a necessary foundation from which to serve others.
If you are interested in treating your soul to a 1 hour session with High Priestess Jenna, mention Awakening Aphrodite and she will gift you with a discount of $50. Visit Jenna's beautiful website at www.treeoflifemysteryschool.com to view her mystery school and more offerings!

Do you long to feel fulfilled, embodied and saturated with the simplicity of the present moment?
What with all the distractions, stress and rush of everyday life, being truly present can feel like an impossible feat. The medicine for this disconnection, however, may be simpler than you think! These mini Fast Friday episodes are all about giving you that little spark of light and inspiration to motivate healing in your day.
Today I will read you a segment from The Lost Art of Heart Navigation: A Modern Shaman's Field Manual by Jeff Nixa, J.D., M.Div. Jeff is a shamanic practitioner and the founder of Great Plains Shamanic Programs, an array of healing, counseling and shamanic education services including one-on-one fire talks, seminars, university classes, outdoor retreats, and wilderness vision quest experiences. Jeff began walking the shamanic heart path in 2009 after experiencing a life-changing vision quest ceremony in the north Michigan wilderness.
Jeff's healing career has spanned thirty years as a university campus minister, hospital chaplain, pastoral counselor, and massage therapist. Earlier in his career Jeff earned his law degree from Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon. He has been a professional associate with Crows Nest Center for Shamanic Studies USA, and completed a 2-year shamanic teacher-training program with Sandra Ingerman. Jeff has studied with the Harner Foundation for Shamanic Studies, shamanic healers in the Peruvian Amazon and the Andes mountains, and Oglala Lakota elders on Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota
We will be discussing Jeff's three tips for finding your body and the esoteric science behind each statement:
-
Get outside
-
Drum or rattle
-
Smudge
When you find your body, you will find the present.

Pop quiz! What is the MOST nutrient-dense food on the planet?
Do I hear vegetables? Eggs? Kale? Smoothies? Salads?
Actually, the correct answer is drumroll...organs. ORGANS! Organ meats, otherwise known as “offal,” which is a play on words, because many people think they taste awful.
Well, guess what? Problem, solution! Today's guest, James Barry, has worked as a professional chef for over 17 years. His clients include Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Sean Puffy Combs, Barbra Streisand, John Cusack and more. This guy's big time, okay? He knows how to cook and he knows how to make food taste good. But what's most interesting about him is he knows how to make healthy food taste good.
This episode is all about the nutritional benefits and challenges of consuming organ meats. James is the inventor of Pluck, an incredibly delicious seasoning that includes 5 different regeneratively-sourced, grass-fed organ meats curated to make your palate and your body feel wonderful. Like me, thousands of James’s customers use Pluck seasoning on just about everything– from breakfast scrambles to poultry to popcorn.

"Life conditions create worldviews."
"It's hard to get enough of something that almost works."
These are just two of the many perceptive bytes shared by Dr. Keith in this invigorating episode on personal development, evil, warrior energy, healing, addiction and moral foundations. Wow. What an honor to converse with such a wise man.
Dr. Keith Whitt is a licensed integral psychologist with 8 published books and 50 years of professional counseling experience. He is working on his ninth book currently and he has lived in Santa Barbara, California, since 1973. I first learned about Dr. Keith through Loving Completely: A Five Star Practice for Creating Great Relationships, a classic book of his that I have owned and referenced for many, many years. Dr. Keith specializes in love therapy, interpersonal relationships and human development from multiple perspectives: weaving neuroscience, integral theory, wisdom, traditions, and numerous forms of psychotherapy into a coherent cosmetology of love and healing. You can find out more about Dr. Keith and his offerings for helping you build successful relationships at his website.
In this episode, we get into the essence of the Warrior and Healer archetypes, two identities that Dr. Keith took on as a child after being placed in a psychiatric unit to receive electroconvulsive shock therapy. After sharing his fascinating life story, Dr. Keith posits that each person is born with six innate moral foundations. This leads us into a discussion of evil: How does evil manifest around us? How can we constrain it, prevent it and address our anxiety over the evil in our world? We also touch on the topics of mass formation psychosis, the positive sides of dark concepts, loneliness, addiction and the integral awakening of our time.

The Boy and the Rattlesnake is an Apache tale that reminds us to exercise some caution with the things we invite closer to us.
Welcome back to Fast Friday, a special bonus episode for just you and I! Fast Fridays are for ideas, stories, tips and reflections that have benefitted my life in some way that I want to share with YOU!
You might know I'm a lifelong student of Native American culture, the esoteric mystery schools and all the wisdom of the past that I believe should be re-incorporated back into our fancy modern lives. I, for one, am much happier when I take the time to be outside, connecting to the bare earth with my feet, making music and expressing myself through art. This show is all about awakening the authentic self and inspiring you to live a healthy, happy life.
Sometimes, even in the most ideal of life paths, you will pass by a figurative rattlesnake that asks to be picked up. What will you do?
This tale is from a collection of traditional Native American stories called Keepers of the Animals. Cultural myths transcend the human experience, time, place and culture, and nearly identical story lines often originate independently across the globe. This is because mythology taps into the collective unconscious: the traits and archetypes that we human all share. Myths are powerful teaching tools for self-knowledge and understanding.

Do you ever feel dissatisfied with the way things are in your world? Are you constantly striving for more while the people around you seem content with what they already have?
Do you ever feel guilty that you’re just not doing enough? Are you hyper-critical of yourself and believe that your results could always be improved?
Well, what if I told you that instead of a personality flaw, those qualities represent the strength of your genes? You are uniquely wired to not only survive, but thrive, in an environment that never made it easy for you to succeed. Chances are, you are a DRIVEN.
My guest today is Meghan Terwilliger: a former collegiate athlete, professional volleyball player, a mother of three and a coach for Driven. As an invaluable member of the Driven tribe, Meghan works with Dr. Doug Brackmann to provide content, guidance and retreats for "Driven" individuals.
As a "Driven" woman myself, I am intensely curious about how the action-oriented qualities of ambition and unrelenting drive for success align with the divine feminine archetype. How can we fully embrace our need for freedom, independence and results without diminishing the nourishing Feminine within? Meghan is a brilliant resource for these far-reaching questions, and this episode is charged with her wise proverbs and highly evolved presence.

Have you ever been sitting at lunch, at a meeting our otherwise talking with someone when suddenly their phone notification goes off or they get a "PING!" from a text message where they stop talking and engaging with you, only to switch their attention to the intrusion or other person?
Or maybe sometimes you are somewhere in public and suddenly realize that everyone around you is plastered to their phone and totally oblivious to the environment and people that are right around them.
People walking their dogs, people in coffee shops, people in the grocery store, and even families at the dinner table these days are often more engrossed with that tiny little screen in their hand than they are with each other.
Is anyone truly 100% PRESENT anymore?!
Not sure how you feel about it but this is one of my biggest pet peeves! You too?
I came across this handy little article written by Dr. Gwendolyn Seidman, a sociologist who reported on the scale and dynamic of harm we unknowingly commit when we focus on our phones instead of our friends. There is actually a term for this behavior: “phubbing,” as in "snubbing" others with your "phone"! And it’s something that actually 90% of adults admit to doing so chances are we are ALL guilty of this so you'll want to tune in to today's Fast Friday to hear about some of the interesting findings Dr. Seidman came across through this study.
(Should we add "phubbing" to our modern day vocabulary?...haha!)

With the stress, rush and caffeine of the modern American lifestyle, it’s no wonder thyroid disorders are rising along with skyrocketing levels of hormonal imbalances and adrenal fatigue.
Are there alternative ways to heal thyroid dysfunctions without resorting to the life-altering pharmacological techniques touted by conventional medicine?
Sydney Ross Singer, my guest in this episode, has some promising new information that indicates a link between vocal expression and thyroid health. This association between sound and thyroid disorders was long understood by Ayurvedic medicine, and Sydney is working hard to bring these relevant findings back to light. Sydney Ross Singer was my popular guest on Episode 119, a critically important conversation on how bra-wearing obstructs lymphatic flow to elevate womens' risk of developing breast cancer. That episode could maybe even save your life, so please check that out and share it with the women in your life!
After receiving graduate training in biochemistry and being awarded his master’s degree in anthropology from Duke University, Sydney Ross Singer decided to pursue a career in the new and emerging field of medical anthropology. To better understand how culture and environment affects human health, he went on to complete three years of medical school at the University of Texas to become one of the first medically trained anthropologists in the United States.
In this episode we have a thought-provoking discussion about the thyroid and it's energetic and esoteric connection to the 5th chakra of the body, which is the area of the neck, upper back and chest area. We discuss the more mechanical, physical components of this area of the body as well as it's more symbolic and metaphorical association with our personal will and the way we communicate and express ourselves, in particular, our speaking and our listening. In addition, Sydney teaches us about the standard pharmacological "treatment" for thyroid disorders while also introducing some effective, practical and easy (!) lifestyle behaviors and mindsets that we can possibly engage in which might help us avoid invasive radiation-based treatments, chemicals and pharmaceuticals by rebalancing the thyroid and hormones safely and holistically.

Did you know that 1 in every 10 kids has asthma?
Or that 1 in every 13 kids experiences food allergies?
Were you aware of the rising rates of autism, which now occurs in 1 of every 68 children?
These numbers are only growing, and in fact, one in THREE children has either allergies, asthma, ADHD or autism. Is this ringing a bell? Do you have kids? Do they have any of these disorders? Do you know kids that do? Well, odds are you probably do because one third of them have some kind of disorder. We didn't have that when we were kids. What changed?
Well, as today's amazing guest, Zen Honeycutt, points out, “they don’t make food like they used to!” In this essential episode, Zen will shed some encouraging (and much needed) light onto the loaded topic of US food processing, labeling and hidden GMOs. I truly believe that you cannot be empowered unless you can make decisions through informed consent, and empowerment's what this show is all about.
Zen Honeycutt is the Founding Executive Director of Moms Across America, a non-profit National Coalition of Unstoppable Moms. With the motto "Empowered Moms, Healthy Kids " Moms Across America has grown rapidly, over 600 leaders have created nearly 1000 community events in all 50 states in the past 5 years. Moms Across America empowers and amplifies the voice of the mom locally and nationally to create healthy communities by raising awareness about GMOs and related pesticides in our food. Zen has been featured on major mainstream news stations and documentaries, and is a former Consumer representative to the California Organic Products Advisory Committee. She is an international speaker and author of Unstoppable: Transforming Sickness and Struggle into Triumph, Empowerment and a Celebration of Community.

Today I am feeling called to share a beautiful and immemorial prayer with you.
Welcome to Fast Friday, an extra bonus mini conversation with just you and me! These quick, sweet episodes are one of my favorite ways to drop a little love and inspiration in your ear to carry with you through the end of your week.
The topics I choose are quite broad, but I usually share ideas, poems, affirmations or tips that have impacted my life in some significant way. This Peace Prayer by St. Francis of Assisi is particularly special to me, as it is to many. It’s a beautiful prayer, often spoken on important occasions that call for reflection and reverence.
I hope the sentiments in this prayer resonated with you. Please share with a loved one or leave me a review if you feel so inclined! Thank you for joining my tribe!

So, how does hormonal birth control actually work? And, for that matter, what does “informed consent” really mean?
In today’s episode, you’ll be plunged into a deeply educational discussion on the feminine hormonal cycle with my amazing (repeat!) guest, Dr. Nathan Riley. You’ll hear about many of the key hormone players in the dance of your natural rhythms, the societal forces that have historically laid shame on women’s sexuality and the true intelligent nature of your menstrual cycle. We also launch into a discussion on the incredibly important grassroots film, The Business of Birth Control, which you can stream at thebusinessof.life.
Dr. Nathan Riley is an allopathic MD who is popularly known as The Holistic OBGYN. Dr. Nathan’s patient-centered approach in medicine is informed by his reverence for the human body, mind and spirit– a perspective that is unfortunately lost on the impersonal, business-centered hospital institutions of our world today. As an OBGYN and provider of Hospice and Palliative Care medicine, Dr. Nathan’s holistic practice is uniquely grounded in profound experiences of birth and death. As you’ll come to know in this episode, Dr. Nathan is wholeheartedly committed to understanding human physiology and helping his clients heal at the source rather than “medicating away” presented symptoms.
If you missed it, I highly recommend tuning into Nathan’s first appearance on the show, Episode 89. If you love Nathan and his approach to wellness, go check out his podcast, The Holistic OBGYN Podcast, of which I am a subscriber and total fan. You can also learn more about Dr. Nathan at his website, belovedholistics.com or visit him on Instagram @nathanrileyobgyn.
The information in this podcast is absolutely critical for all women (and men!) to know. Please share this episode with anyone who you think would benefit from true knowledge of the menstrual cycle, fertility and birth control. And if you’re looking to stream The Business of Birth Controlwith a discount, use Nathan’s code, “beloved50” at checkout.

Finding skincare products that align with my mission, values, feelings and philosophy is an exquisitely challenging task.
There are countless obstacles in the way of connecting with products that are nontoxic, ethically sourced and that satisfy my body and soul. In the rare chance that I DO come across someone like Hanna Mehrabani and her small business, Seeb and Solace it is a true god-given blessing.
Hanna is a geo-physicist who began her career, ironically enough, fracking the earth for oil. In this episode you’ll hear about the massive shift in consciousness that brought her from the hyper-masculinized fracking-mindset back to the sacred oil formulating traditions and holistic practices of her home country, Iran.
At Seeb and Solace, Hanna meticulously oversees each step of production, ensuring that the soil and water that nurture her crops are whole, carefully maintained and free of the toxins that otherwise permeate the majority of our natural environment. Her products made with love, care, and complete transparency, and are sourced from an international chain of healthy, conscientious and ethical farms.
In this episode, you’ll hear about Hanna’s incredible life story: from her birth into the Iran-Iraq war to her discovery of skincare as a medicine for the overloaded and traumatized nervous system. We discuss the root cause of autoimmune issues like psoriasis and eczema and refer to the skin as a female organ, symbolizing our sacred boundaries and self expression. We talk about the true nature of biodynamic farming, the critical importance of soil health and the magical properties of saffron for your skin, body and emotional wellness.
Hanna has generously provided Awakening Aphrodite listeners with a discount to Seeb and Solace products! Enter the code “fitamytv” at check out at seebandsolace.com and enjoy the natural richness of biodynamic oils that will nourish you on both cellular and spiritual levels. You can also follow Hanna on Instagram at @seebandsolace. If you enjoyed this episode, please consider supporting me with your review and share with your friends and family!

You’ve probably heard that psychedelics, regressive hypnotherapy and even "shadow work" can help access and heal deep layers of the unconscious, but did you also know that we can do the same thing just by breathing?! Sounds crazy, right?
Don't get me wrong, this isn't just any type of breathing, but done with the right methodology, focus, set and setting, breath work can have amazing and long lasting effects to mind, body and spirit (as I attest to in this episode!).
Breath work is currently a hot topic in the holistic wellness community thanks to the renewed psychedelic movement and figures like Wim Hoff… but to be honest, it’s not a modality that I’ve personally had the greatest luck with. Having tried a few different breath work sessions without “results,” I was finally referred to Effiji, the unique breath work practice of Sarah Charmoli, my wonderful guest today, and her business partner, Elijah.
As business leader, head of communications and master facilitator for Effiji worldwide, Sarah Charmoli is passionate about the transformational power of Effiji Breathwork and the practices that make up the holistic program designed to support people in their personal consciousness work. Sarah has successfully organized, executed and co-led multiple weekend intensives and programs across the globe. She is committed to the growth of each individual called to work within the framework that Effiji provides for their exponential evolution and to the growing community of individuals supporting one another on this path.
In this transformational episode, you’ll hear about the pivotal life moments that guided Sarah to her dream work and she shares potent advice for getting out of your own way, developing magnetism and being “realized” through both failures and successes. We talk about why breath work is so powerful, the value of a passionate breath work facilitator and what sets Effiji apart from other breath work approaches. As usual, I get very personal and talk about my Effiji breath work journey with the hope that it inspires you to dive in and feel into your own unconscious layers.
I have GREAT NEWS! Sarah has generously gifted a 50% discount to Awakening Aphrodite listeners so you can experience Effiji for yourself! You can sign up for their remote breath work sessions at effijibreath.com and enter code "fitamytv50" at checkout. You can find out more about Sarah and her work on Instagram at @effijibreathwork, Facebook and Youtube channel.

Ladies…what is the first thing you do when you get home after a long day?
First, you probably take off your shoes, and secondly… you remove your bra, right? Whew! What a relief!
That is your body communicating with you! We put up with minor discomforts all day long to be "socially acceptable," and yet the source of this particular minor discomfort (the bra!) may be causing us undue harm in the long term.
Sydney Ross Singer, my guest today, has been researching the link between bras and breast cancer for decades, and according to him, bras should come with a warning label like cigarettes do. Wow! Get ready for some mind blowing statistics, an insider’s scoop into the business side of our medical system and the physiological rationale behind the international free-the-nipple movement.
After receiving graduate training in biochemistry and being awarded his master’s degree in anthropology from Duke University, Sydney Ross Singer decided to pursue a career in the new and emerging field of medical anthropology. To better understand how culture and environment affects human health, he went on to complete three years of medical school at the University of Texas to become one of the first medically trained anthropologists in the United States.
In this episode we discuss the physiological, cultural and psychological impacts of the bra along with its complex history and modern multi-million dollar industry. Sydney believes that the root cause of breast pain, cysts, edema and cancer is directly linked to the bra's restriction of critical lymphatic circulation. Sydney explains his unconventional breast cancer research and tell us about his life experiences as an explorer of human culture and "cancelled" member of modern medicine. You'll hear my personal synopsis of my past two months of living bra-free (spoiler alert: I LOVE it!) as well as my perspective as a woman on this charged issue.
You can learn more about Sydney's work at BrasAndBreastCancer.org and his absolute must-read book, Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras, which he co-authored with his wife, Soma Grismaijer. If you feel passionate about this topic, can join their international Bra Free self-reported study at brafreestudy.com to further this important research!

Where does unwavering self-confidence end and narcissism begin?
Have you ever worried that acting confidently from a place of unconditional self-love may be mistaken for narcissism?
Is there an alternative explanation for the conventional and toxic “narcissism” of the West?
I find the gift of having a unique perspective to be especially rich when we consider different cultures’ interpretations of myths, fairy tales and religions. In this episode, I read a card from Ari Honarvar’s Rumi’s Gift Oracle Cards: an exquisite deck of cards that allows me to explore poetry, images and insights selected by my soul.
Today, my soul chose to share a reading from Ari’s oracle card on confidence. It features a powerful Rumi poem and the Persian tale of Narcissus: the beautiful– and mortal– son of the gods. You may be surprised to hear that Ari’s telling recounts a man driven by his own dazzling self-love rather than the famously flawed idea of vanity. This Persian approach to the myth of Narcissus reminds us that the root of confidence is in realizing that the beloved is “...manifest and unmanifest,” and that we are always welcome to dive into a self-love that is deeper than our image.
Ari is an award-winning writer, visual artist and speaker. She is the Iranian Musical Ambassador of Peace, Vice President of Gente Unida (a human rights border coalition), and founder of Drop Poems Not Bombs. I was honored with Ari’s presence as a guest on my show in Episode 36: Feminine Strength Among Terror; Surviving Heartbreak, Fear and Uncertainty and Finding the Beauty, Joy, Treasure and True Freedom in Suffering with Rumi and Ari Honarvar. I highly recommend tuning in to hear Ari’s amazing story!

Hey, we all feel better when we go out in the warm, bright sunshine, don’t we? Have you ever been stuck inside or been in stormy weather for days when all of a sudden, BOOM, that big beautiful sun came out? And you stepped into that fresh air and felt the sunlight warm your mind, body and spirit?
Well, GUESS WHAT? It’s not just your imagination! There is a real physiological and biochemical reaction that happens in your body when the sun contacts your skin. Our bodies, our food and all of life on the planet evolved to thrive in the sunlight. But what about skin cancer, melanoma, premature aging and sunburn, you ask?
You'll hear all your answers in this second episode with Dr. Elizabeth Plourde. When Dr. Plourde's studies revealed that sunscreens actually promote melanoma and harm all life in the oceans, she devoted her life to presenting the truth behind today’s environmental damage in books, scientific articles, medical conferences and consumer groups. When “Kid Safe” sunscreens were marketed, Dr. Plourde redoubled her efforts to dispel the myth that zinc and titanium oxides are “kid safe.” Not only are they “not kid safe,” they are not “ocean life safe,” as they kill the phytoplankton, the foundation of our oceans' food chain. Sunscreens are not only toxic and dangerous for people and ALL of life but they are also... totally UNNECESSARY! As you'll learn in this episode, we can create our own internal "SPF" through dietary choices and lifestyle!
Dr. Elizabeth Plourde recently appeared on my show in Episode 116, The Biology of Femininity, which I highly suggest you check out to learn more about her personal story and extensive research background. Her published books include:

What does it mean to feel like “yourself”?
Are you energetic? Joyful? Do you love to wear certain colors or repeat specific phrases?
Did you know that there is an orchestra of miniscule compounds flowing from your organs and glands and through your bloodstream that together create this beautiful dynamic art piece you call “yourself”?
Well, these little reality-weavers are called HORMONES! The topic of hormones has come up in many episodes of Awakening Aphrodite because...WOW, they determine so much about us: how we look, how we act, how we feel, our quality of life and so much more!
This information-rich episode features Dr. Elizabeth Plourde C.L.S., NCMP, PhD, a prolific researcher, author and clinical laboratory scientist. Her extensive background includes working with cutting edge DNA and cancer research laboratories, dissecting and debunking the Western idea of "sunscreen," educating the world about EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) and guiding women through menopause as a North American Menopause Society Certified Menopause Practitioner.
Surprised to find that her ovaries had been removed along with her planned hysterectomy at age 43, Dr. Plourde dove deep into the research on biology and female physiology as her health rapidly deteriorated. Our organs are NOT dispensable and our hormones are here to support us through ALL phases of life. We’ll talk about the role of estrogen in bone health, cardiovascular health, sleep and neurological fitness as we journey through Dr. Plourde’s fascinating life story and wise advice for women's health. We also dive into EMF’s and their mysterious impact on the health of people, animals, insects and nature worldwide.

Speaking of which… Have you ever tried enjoying your life to the fullest when you’re so busy you can barely take a moment for yourself? Though many of us love our work (I hope you do!), our to-do lists often become so long that basic self-care goes plop right out the window.
But hey, I’m right there with ya! Having spent 30+ years in the fitness and holistic health industry, I can tell you that NO ONE is perfect and we all have health-related struggles in common. Most of us are stressed out, stretched thin and working too hard to fully enjoy those precious small moments of peace between tasks.

Oh BOY do I have some time-tested pro tips for you! I have maintained my health and fitness through years in the industry as a manager, model, coach, teacher, student, business owner and holistic health practitioner with these THREE simple, minimal weekly actions:

Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite! This episode is all about sisterhood, feminine power, self-worth and learning to develop a deep intuitive connection with your body.
I met my amazing guest today, Rachel Varitimos, through her partner Ryan Sprague, a popular (and multi- repeat!) guest on Awakening Aphrodite. Rachel and I walk very similar paths in the field of holistic wellness. She is a Certified Life Coach, Story Work Coach, Nutritionist and Yoga Teacher who specializes in women's empowerment. In this episode, you’ll be blessed with a deep dive into Rachel’s journey of personal development and her wisdom in helping women manifest their dreams, intuitively tap into their physical bodies and cultivate joy and sovereignty in their lives and businesses.
As you’ll hear in this soul-touching conversation, Rachel began her life journey with severe social anxiety, obesity and an eating disorder that drove her to study conventional nutrition to the detriment of her intuitive, self-healing abilities. We share how we each personally dealt with (and are currently dealing with!) society’s impossible beauty standards and discuss tips for tapping into our true source of feminine power. We also discuss the value of finding your sisterhood tribe, confronting toxic internalized massages about your body and tips for embarking on your path to sovereignty and mental freedom.

Today’s mini episode is all about nourishing yourself with love. Why should I… and how do I truly love myself, you ask? Melody Beattie, one of America’s most beloved self-help authors beautifully answers that big question in this episode’s featured passage from one of her many bestselling books, The Language Of Letting Go.
Melody has survived some of the most unthinkably painful experiences that many humans undergo in this lifetime, including addiction, abandonment, sexual abuse, divorce and the death of her own child. Our society places heavy shame on these issues– and all too often it is the victim who bears the blame. We must forgive ourselves over and over again, and stand up for ourselves even when no one does it with us.
Melody Beattie’s books are powerful resources for dealing with the big human issues of codependency, addiction and grief. Through it all, we must somehow find self-love. As Beattie tells it, “[p]eople who love themselves and hold themselves in high esteem are those who give the most, contribute the most and love the most. How do we love ourselves? By working as hard at liking and loving ourselves as we have at not liking ourselves. Explore what it means to love yourself.”
And so, my friends, I invite you to open your heart to these words of wisdom, take a deep breath and step into the lifelong practice of self-love.

Humans and canines have peacefully coexisted and co-evolved for more than 30,000 years: a relationship that rivals our history with tools, fire making and organized settlements. Some believe humans helped dogs evolve into the fluffy companions of today while others argue that dogs are the ones responsible for modern human civilizations. Whatever the case may be, the human-canine relationship is factually primal and deeply ingrained in our cultures, instincts and DNA.
But recently, something has changed in the way we treat our canine friends. That something also extends to our behavior towards nature, agriculture, our children, our communities and even ourselves. As a whole, humans have less time, experience more stress, create less quality and waste more quantity. We make so much noise that we can’t even hear ourselves think. We need so many things that we run out of space to consider what those around us might be needing and feeling.
Sasha Armstrong, my wonderful guest today, has a very compelling message for dog-lovers, leaders, parents and healers alike. As the founder and creator of the Canine State of Mind program, she educates canine owners on how to build stronger, mutually respectful relationships with their dogs through body language and energetics. Mastering her craft for more than twenty years, Sasha has helped over 1000 dog owners meet the needs of their pet by bridging the communication gap and uncovering energies both the dog and human exude at any given time.

Today I’m sharing with you a very special episode that features myself as a guest on Highly Optimized, a podcast hosted by none other than Ryan Sprague!
If you want to hear more from Ryan, please tune into the two other amazing shows we did together: Episode 94, Using Plant Medicine And Cannabis For Increased Consciousness, Connection And Lifestyle Balance (Part I) and the more recent Episode 103, Living AS IF: The Power of Choice, Radical Ownership and Being Your Own Biggest Cheerleader With Ryan Sprague (Part II). Ryan is the founder and co-owner of Highly Optimized, which includes a podcast that he hosts in addition to his other show, This One Time On Psychedelics. I highly encourage you to check out Ryan’s programs and podcasts! He is truly a wealth of information.
On this episode, we talk about the personal experiences that led us to the field of holistic health and how the Pain Teacher supported our understandings of the human body, psyche and basic components required to live a balanced and healthy life. Ryan asks me about working together with Paul Chek as his longest-standing female client, and I share some of the most significant lessons I’ve come to realize on our journey together. We also discuss self love, radical ownership, people-pleasing, the undeniable evidence that expectations determine our reality and the role that exercise plays in our lives as a tool to maintain inner balance and protect from burnout.
This episode is packed full of ideas to motivate you forward on your life’s journey. If you enjoyed it, please subscribe, leave a review and share on Instagram (tag me @FitAmyTV and I'll share too!).

How often do you use the word “should”?
Did you know that replacing just ONE letter in the word “should”...could change everything for you?
Welcome to today’s little boost of inspiration, support and motivation to fuel you on your journey!
This episode features the one and only Louise Hay: legendary author of many books, including the famous bestseller, You Can Heal Your Life. Today I refer to one of my favorite works of hers, Heart Thoughts: A Treasury Of Inner Wisdom. You can look forward to many upcoming references to Ms. Hay's ideas in our Fast Friday segments! For me, her ideas and affirmations never fail to inspire self-love, deep contemplation and spiritual (if not physical!) healing.
This brief and powerful passage refers to choice. We always have a choice. Though we may not be able to choose our life’s external circumstances, we ultimately decide how we react and respond to those events. Believing that there is a way we “should” react, or anything we “should” do, makes traps us in a prison of our own making. What can you drop from your “should-list”? What could you do instead?
Let’s recognize our habitual thought patterns and work towards shifting into a state of growth, inner love and learning!
Speaking of which…
As you may have noticed, Awakening Aphrodite recently upgraded HER habitual weekly rhythm, leaving you with this mini episode of inspiration! And guess what? This is all thanks to listeners like YOU who asked me to restore the Fast Friday tradition! Please keep that wonderful feedback coming by leaving a review (on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!), sharing & tagging me on Instagram.

Have you ever noticed how your voice changes with your emotions?
The voice is a direct expression of your inner state. It carries rich information about your psychological, hormonal and physical circumstances. Sound is also the first sense humans experience in utero with the early development of the inner ear.
In fact, many ancient texts have placed sound as the foundation for material existence. Universally, the sound "OM" is the seed syllable for all of life. Sound is critical for human functioning, awareness, sensory input and output. The way you use it (or don't!) will directly affect yourself and those around you.
My guest today, Ruth Ratliff, is a wise and brilliant holistic voice teacher and Licensed Vibrational Sound Therapy Practitioner with over 40 years of experience as a voice professional. She learned to harness the power of her voice at a young age when personal tragedy led her to the profoundly healing medium of sound. She understands how people’s voices reflect how they feel about themselves, and believes that the voice has the potential to offer us a much deeper experience of our inner landscape.
In this episode, Ruth guides us through an amazing journey to help us understand the powerful and constantly available tool of sound for effective, heart-centered communication and connection. Together, we discuss the significance of the intention behind your voice, tips for optimizing the impact of virtual sound healing, the value of recharging your sense of wonder each morning, the effect of menopause on the vocal chords and how to work through the common issue of disliking the sound of your own voice. Ruth also shares practical tips for developing a powerful, embodied voice and how to practice deep listening to expand your consciousness.
Ruth is an incredible resource for holistic healing and I highly encourage you to check out her published book, The Voice of Women's Wisdom: An exploration into the expressive, creative and healing powers of your sound and to explore her rich offerings at Ruthratliff.com!

How can life be so rich but feel so empty?
Have you ever suspected that financial wealth alone doesn't lead to true fulfillment?
Well, your instincts are spot on! In fact, for many, the stress of maintaining a high-pressure career position generates unhealthy patterns that negatively affect all aspects of life. The truth is, our relationships, physical wellness, emotional balance, spiritual connections and passions equally require time and commitment for the average person to thrive.
My amazing guest today, Jason Pickard, is an expert at bridging the worlds of material richness and inner balance. In 2006, Jason fulfilled his lifetime ambition of becoming a billion-dollar portfolio manager and partner of hedge fund legend, Paul Tudor Jones. By the age of 27, he was recognized as one of the top 30 traders under 30 years old. Despite his extreme monetary success, Jason weighed 330 lbs and experienced a profound sense of emptiness in his life. Feeling the drain of his physical state, Jason eventually made the decision to turn his life around. He chose to pursue self-actualization with the same rigor that manifested his material wealth and went on to become Paul Chek's longest-standing client.
In this episode, Jason and I discuss why his journey is so commonly experienced and how the paradox of material wealth and inner poverty reflects the imbalance of masculine and feminine energies in the western world. We talk about how their archetypal incoherence manifests in big problems we all face– from the disaster of conventional education to the epidemic of obesity and mental unwellness in the United States. Jason introduces the solution of “adhi kari” and ideas from Arnold Mendel’s process-oriented psychology that offer a path to greater peace, purpose and fulfillment in our society. We touch on the most impactful lessons we realized through our work with Paul Chek and how Jason helped introduce biogeometry and Dr. Ibrahim Karim to the CHEK Institute. We also cover the "allies" of pain and challenge, Hindu myths and the Vedas, tips for incorporating yin energy into your busy routine, the value of working "in," and Jason's special mantra, which he sings for us.
From Wall Street to holistic health coaching, Jason has himself journeyed through the trials and tribulations of healing deep career-health imbalances and utilizing his unique gifts to fulfill his dharma, or divine purpose. You can find more from this incredible human being at jasonpickard.org.

SURPRISE! Happy Friday!
The distracting and intimidating messages from today’s news and world events have left many of us feeling overwhelmed, uncertain and isolated. We all need mini resets once in a while– something to uplift an inspire us to keep going, try a new idea or take a helpful shift in perspective.
I am so happy to announce the return of “Fast Fridays,” a tradition I practiced in the early days of Awakening Aphrodite to share brief moments of inspiration with you. My daily practice of reading something spiritually uplifting each day originally inspired this idea– but as the show got rolling and life became busy, I decided to focus solely on the main content. Now brought back to you by popular demand, these mini-episodes will layer on top of the usual Tuesday full-episode-drops on the last Friday of each month. They will focus on a reading, an inspirational poem, author or saying that I find personally impactful. I humbly invite you to accept this small offering of “soul nutrition” for your moments, days, weeks and month ahead!
Fast Fridays were brought back by listeners like YOU– so please keep that wonderful feedback coming! You can leave a review (on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!), share & tag me on Instagram and let’s do this together!
Today’s mini episode features a passage from the Song Of The Birdby Anthony De Mello, a spiritual teacher and psychotherapist who authored many beautiful stories. This excerpt imparts the idea that you are who you surround yourself with. Are you living your story, or someone else’s? Are you aware of the heights to which you can soar? Are you holding anything back because of an outer influence? Are there parts of you that are not being expressed? Many long to wake up to the greatness that is their inner authentic self but hold back, waiting for someone outside of themselves to validate it. Today's idea is this: all that truly matters is if YOU recognize and nurture your inner light. Never give up on yourself!

Hello and welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite!
You’ve probably heard me talk a lot about the importance of understanding how your environment affects your health, mindset, emotional wellness and perspective in life. It’s truly indisputable that everything: from the food we eat, to the media we consume, to the people and creatures we interact with on a daily basis shape who (and how!) we are in a very real way. That’s why I am thrilled to present you with today’s guest, Ross Newkirk, whose inventions actively upgrade the coherence of the immediate environment while harmonizing the electromagnetic fields and constant distractions we each face in our world today.

I have to tell you that Ross Newkirk’s Core Harmonizer absolutely changed my LIFE in that regard, and I don’t make that claim lightly! You’ll hear my personal story about my first time using it in this episode… An amazing experience that completely took me by surprise.
In this episode you can also look forward to hearing about coherence, the importance of activating discernment and how to intuitively find your path and purpose. Ross shares insight into his spiritual upbringing, the pain of suddenly losing both parents and his healing journey through grief. He describes the human condition beautifully, and this episode is full of his unique sayings and ideas surrounding identity, self-criticism, spiritual connection, loneliness, creativity and healing. We also talk about EMF's, Marcel Vogel and Vogel-cut crystals, the many inventions of Ross's father and the three "brains" in the human body.

Have you ever used lavender essence to relax before bedtime, ginseng or ginger in your tea or perhaps elderberry syrup to boost your natural immunity?
If you answered yes to any of those, guess what? You have been practicing herbal medicine, just the way nature intended it! More than ever before in our modern world, people are searching for natural ways to support the health of their minds and bodies. This episode offers timely wisdom and insight from one of the most influential urban herbalists and authors on plant medicines of our time: Judith Berger, writer of the ever-relevant Herbal Rituals. In my opinion, it’s much more than a book, and definitely more than a common reference for naturally treating health conditions: it is a lyrical homage to the ancient practices of herbal medicine.
Judith Berger is an herbalist, a prolific author, a poet and Physician Assistant who was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. As you’ll hear in this episode, her earliest contact with nature was through the prism of fairy tales, the wilds of her father’s backyard garden and the dark corridors of the local plant nursery where she first cherished the scent of soil. She spent ten years in New York City studying and practicing as an urban herbalist before pursuing a degree as a Physician Assistant to integrate natural medicine with the modern medical model.
This episode will take you on an adventure into the world of plants and medicine! We talk about the soul of nature and the subtle, complex medicine of plants and mushrooms. Judith shares her thoughts on the digital overwhelm of our time, and offers insight on how herbal treatments can soothe our nerves to balance the stress of everyday life. We discuss the many changes the field of herbalism underwent since the writing of Herbal Rituals, and Judith shares her experiences of herbal effectiveness and contrasting medical philosophies realized through her training as Physician Assistant. We also cover the history and folklore of certain medicinal plants, the contributions of St. Hildegarde of Bingen, common herbal misconceptions and myths, and valuable resources for purchasing your own herbs or seeds. You can find Judith's wonderful offerings, writing and more at judithbergerherbalist.com.

When Ryan and I press that “record” button and get to talking, you can rest assured that the conversation will be rich with personal insights, beautiful realizations of collective and individual development and a deep well of inspiration for manifesting the life of your dreams. Looking back on the popularity and richness of our last conversation, Episode 94: Using Plant Medicine And Cannabis For Increased Consciousness, Connection And Lifestyle Balance With Ryan Sprague Part I, there was absolutely no WAY I wasn’t going to invite Ryan back to Awakening Aphrodite. Besides, we had so much more to talk about!
Ryan’s mission in life is helping his fellow brothers and sisters become empowered in their experience of being alive through men’s coaching, plant medicine integration coaching and retreat experiences. Ryan is the founder and co-owner of Highly Optimized, which includes a podcast that he hosts in addition to his other show, This One Time On Psychedelics. I highly encourage you to check out Ryan’s programs and podcasts! He is truly a wealth of wisdom and compassion.
We begin this episode with a discussion on learning styles, which quickly evolves into an exploration of human design, numerology and the tarot archetypes. We hear Ryan’s take on the dysfunctional balance of feminine and masculine energies at work in society and his thoughts on how their dynamic affects our collective imagination and the dogmatic science of today. I ask Ryan about the yin (archetypal feminine) nature of cannabis and he delves into the idea of taking radical ownership given the choice of living the dream or the victim mentality. He shares his key process for personal development, which he calls “living as if” to guide life and identity transitions for himself and his clients. We also cover the topics of burnout, self-worth, people pleasing, the “coach” paradigm within us all and why Ryan believes that being your biggest cheerleader is our life’s main requirement.
Your downloads, views, shares and reviews of Awakening Aphrodite mean the world to me– thank you so much for joining me on this journey of exploring great minds, ideas and the feminine archetype within us all. See you next time!

For nature lovers, land stewards and spiritual folks alike… This episode is all about developing a reciprocal relationship with nature, connecting with ancestral wisdom of the past and comprehending death: the guide, friend and ticket to a life of joy and self-development.
My guest Moya McGinley is a native Irish palliative care nurse, shaman and steward of Cosán Ciúin, her sacred land and farm retreat in Ireland. She strives to live simply and gently in true communion with the land, and feels that when we live in this harmonious way we are reminded that every moment of life is precious and sacred.
Moya is a Reiki Master with degrees and certifications in social science, aromatherapy, holistic massage and life coaching. She completed a year-long shamanic apprenticeship with a Native Mexican Medicine Woman in addition to other advanced shamanic study. Her comfort and connection with the spiritual world resonates through the topics we cover in this episode and illuminates the mystical history of Ireland, which she regards as a sacred threshold between the physical and spirit worlds.
In this beautiful episode we learn about Moya’s reciprocal relationship with nature and how her land revealed its ancestral secrets to her, including the previously unknown location of a sacred Celtic fire pit that was later confirmed by an archeologist’s findings. We talk about our new human role as guardians of the earth and how we must step up as ancestors of the future. Moya’s past in palliative care and her own personal near-death experience grants her exquisite insight and trust in Death, that widely feared and inevitable force we will all meet one day. We discuss attachment, suffering and acceptance, and how to access the state of unconditional love and faith we’re all striving for (whether we know it or not!). You can learn more about Moya's amazing story and offerings at tranquilpaths.com.
I hope this episode inspires you to take loving care of the earth and find what moves you! Please subscribe, share and leave a review to let me know what this episode brought up for you!

Are you ready to embody the sacred, self-sufficient and pleasure-filled warrior goddess that is your divine Feminine nature? This episode is all about developing a conscious relationship with your emotional body, grounding in your innate feminine power and reconnecting with the alchemical wisdom of your yoni and womb-space.
I was recently introduced to my guest in this episode, the beautiful Emily Abbott, and I have since had the honor of working with her privately to experience the magic of her work firsthand. Emily is a former two-time collegiate basketball national champion and elite CrossFit athlete. She now passionately guides women back to the wisdom of their divine Feminine as a holistic pelvic therapist and student in the process of earning her doctorate in acupuncture. Her mission is to build the bridges between the divine masculine and the divine feminine energies on the journey of self-actualization; a vital process to upgrade the way we live, love and lead in the world.
In this episode, you’ll hear Emily’s personal story of learning to embody her divine feminine through a dark night of the soul that involved a challenging career transition, a trauma-bonded relationship and an abortion that emotionally disconnected her from her womb and feeling-body. In witnessing and fulfilling her own need for presence and healing, Emily realized her life’s calling to explore pleasure and develop a loving relationship with her yoni and sacred feminine self. She regards the pelvic bowl as an alchemical portal to full feminine embodiment and talks about how developing a relationship with your yoni can support the manifestation of your wildest dreams in this life. Magical things happen when you step into your divine Feminine, and Emily is a true living example of that!

Greetings and welcome to my very special 100th episode! Whew!!! I absolutely LOVE bringing this show to you... it is my heart-project, and I’m beyond grateful that you’re here with me.
The mission of Awakening Aphrodite is to inspire YOU to live a fit and healthy life in mind, body and spirit as well as harmonize your masculine and feminine energies, tap into your intuition, your true source of power and awaken your authentic self. And what could be a more appropriate way to celebrate my 100th episode than to feature the one and only Mr. Paul Chek?
Paul Chek is a world-renowned expert in the fields of corrective and high-performance exercise kinesiology, stress management and holistic wellness. For over thirty years, Paul’s unique, integrated approach to treatment and education has changed the lives of many of his clients, his students and their clients. By treating the body as a whole system and finding the root cause of a problem, Paul has been successful where traditional approaches have consistently failed. Paul is the founder of the CHEK (Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology) Institute, based in California, USA and the P~P~S Success Mastery Coaching Program. He is a prolific author of books, articles and blog posts and the host of the popular podcast Living 4D with Paul Chek. You can find his offerings at chekinstitute.com or visit his popular YouTube channel for 750 + free educational videos.
Paul was instrumental in the start of my personal health and fitness career. From the moment we met, we both had an instant soul-recognition and Paul's work and teachings fully launched me into the holistic world of health nearly three decades ago. We remained friends and professional colleagues and about three years ago I also hired him as my personal coach and mentor. As my good friend, soul-family and one of the most influential healing forces in my life, Paul has successfully supported me through some of my biggest challenges and integrate ALL of who I am.
We cover a rich, wide range of topics on this show: Paul's advice for connecting with your soul and intention, the MENS principle, the importance of having a dream, how to become more than average, Jung's four functions of consciousness, art therapy, my personal myth, Paul's definitions of soul, spirit and mind… and SO much more. Please enjoy and celebrate ONE HUNDRED with me by leaving a review or sharing this show with someone who you think will love it!

“I’ll get started on that project soon, but not NOW!”
“Things will be better when I’ve reached that health goal, but not NOW!”
“My dream life will begin when I find my dream partner/house/career, but not NOW!”
Destination addiction is something we’ve all experienced at one point or another. It’s a concept sold to us daily by our own society: you need “that THING” to feel fulfilled, accomplished and happy. That relationship! That house! That outfit! That money in your bank account! That training program! That body weight! That career! That vacation! ...and so we urgently rush through each moment, holding chronic tension in our bodies as we work or distract our lives away in dogged pursuit of an imagined future event, identity or accomplishment.
Listen: the grass is green where you are NOW. The present moment is widely overlooked in our daily lives– despite the fact that each moment is your life. Does each day consist of rushing from place to place, inhaling your food as quickly as possible and squishing your entire life into a tiny schedule to save time? You’re probably a victim of destination addiction!
The term “destination addiction” was coined by motivational speaker and bestselling author Dr. Robert Holden in his fantastic book titled “Success Intelligence.” In this solo episode, you’ll hear about some of the key ideas in this book and my takeaways and reflections on the idea of destination addiction: What are the symptoms of destination addiction? How is this idea embedded in the English language? Is it possible to enjoy a transformational journey or process, despite the pain of growth and change? How can I cultivate inner stillness with my busy schedule?
How you do anything is how you do everything, and life is not about what you achieve, but who you BECOME in the process. We are in Life School! Enjoy each precious moment, my friend.

Do you eat healthy? Do you take the time and expense to prepare your meals and buy organic and "natural" foods? Well how do you KNOW you're actually getting what you think you're getting and are consuming food the way nature intended?
If eating natural and being healthy is important to you, you don't want to miss this one!
In this episode we talk about the current reality of the way we humans produce, consume and interact with our food and nature AND I share my favorite all natural *skin serum that I use every day!!
My guest, Jared Pickard, is a founder of the Be Here Farm + Nature, a family owned mountaintop homestead set on 300 acres in Saint Helena, CA where he and his wife Velisa have restored a formerly logged and ecologically desolate landscape into a vibrant, healthy ecosystem featuring a wildly diverse farm that is home to over 350 varieties of fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers. Inspired by the abundance of the farm and land, the couple has developed a very unique collection of biodynamic self care offerings. Originally, all of this was done in preparation for the opening of a world class hospitality experience, designed to bring overnight guests onto the land for leisure and transformation…BUT all of this changed in September of 2020 when the Napa/Sonoma region was hit with devastating wildfires, including the Be Here Farm property.
From Wall Street to regenerative farming and from an advanced dream-plan to something abruptly new, Jared Pickard has walked through life’s trials of fire and comes to this show with an amazing perspective on the human journey. He shares groundbreaking information on what the “organic” label actually (doesn’t) mean, and provides easy, practical tips for really understanding the quality of food you put into your body. We also talk about my FAVORITE skincare product, Be Here Farm’s *Summer Solstice Serum. Jared has created the cleanest, most potent self care offerings imaginable– and in this episode you’ll learn about the wildcrafted ingredients, solar processing and careful packaging that make his creations so magical. And GUESS WHAT? As an Awakening Aphrodite listener, you receive a special discount and open invitation to contact Jared about the Be Here Farm’s offerings:
For those interested they can head to sunpotion.com to try out our Summer Solstice Serum (which we talk about, I use every day and I show on the video!) and get a ten percent discount just for Awakening Aphrodite listeners with code “amylove” (all lower case)!

Having my friend Allison Pelot back on Awakening Aphrodite is simply a dream come true. This time, Allison comes to us as the author of her first book, Finally Thriving: Your Guide to Empowered Wellness, a gift she manifested for the world to share her voice, teachings and vast wisdom as a healer, coach and energy worker. One of the many reasons I respect Allison so much is because she practices what she preaches: everything she shares stems from her own authentic experience. She has the most beautiful energy that invokes a calm, grounded feeling in me– something I’m curious to know if you'll feel through this episode too!
Allison was initially featured on Awakening Aphrodite’s popular Episode 62, which I think you’ll love if you enjoy this conversation. I also made an appearance on her wonderful podcast, Integrate Yourself, in which I share my own healing journey and passion for tapping into the soul’s desires and harmonizing the divine masculine and feminine dynamics within us all. We are like-minded sisters in many ways, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have her back here for another holistic conversation.
Allison’s new book is a main topic of this episode: her creative process, how writing allowed her to resolve and release deeper traumas, and how removing the stigmas and expectations of authoring a book alchemized the famously challenging process into a pure, joyful experience. Imagine if everyone’s work came from a place of joy rather than obligation! What a refreshing, transformative perspective.
We also discuss:
- The process of healing the inner child
- Vocal tuning and the incredible powers of voice
- Holotropic breathwork and Allison’s out-of-body-experience
- Sound healing
- Mental fitness
- The holistic idea that spiritual understanding and development can only truly occur when our body is nourished, strong and healthy
You will be happy to know that Finally Thriving is now widely available for purchase– AND it comes with a complementary online program that supports your individualized, practical application of Allison’s key concepts and teachings. Please enjoy this dynamic conversation and leave a review to let me know what you took away from this episode!

Do you wish you could communicate with animals?
Do you ever wonder if your pet knows more than they let on?
Are you ready to open your mind and your heart to the infinite love that is waiting for you to unconditionally honor and accept yourself?
This week, I am honored to bring you Amelia Kinkade, a worldwide celebrity in the field of animal communication. I initially encountered Amelia on GaiaTV and have since studied her work, read her international bestseller, "Straight Out Of The Horse's Mouth: How To Talk To Animals And Get Answers," and participated in her online program, The Language Of Miracles Institute. Amelia has been featured in hundreds of newspapers and magazines (including the New York Times, The Chicago Tribune and ABC News amongst other worldwide news stations!) and has appeared on programs such as The View, The Other Half, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Extra, The BBC News andnumerous broadcasts in the US, Europe, and Australia. A BBC documentary was created around her work with the elephants in the Kruger National Park and a BBC children’s programming tour was created for her youngest most open-minded fans. Amelia’s true passion is leading her annual Sacred Harmony Safaris in Africa, and assisting organizations who rescue tigers, elephants, cheetah, penguins, Great White sharks, lions, and rhinos and trouble-shooting problems worldwide for tigers, primates, Asian elephants and countless breeds of exotic as well as domestic animals. She worked with the household cavalry of Queen Elizabeth II to “whisper” with the hunting horses of Prince Charles and played a key role in the success of hooved Olympic Gold and Silver medalists. She is the founder of Amelia’s Arcangel Society, a nonprofit organization that supports the education of children in rural Africa with the aims of reducing the poaching and endangerment of rapidly disappearing wildlife. In this episode, you can look forward to hearing Amelia’s thoughts on the following topics:
- Healing the human-animal relationship
- The true source of our joy
- The dangers of overriding our instincts
- Christ(ess) consciousness
- Sisterhood
- The cyclical nature of the feminine
- Using the physical body to access the divine
- Her encounter with a black mamba (a THRILLING story)
- How to nourish yourself and understand animal messages
I hope this episode sparks your inspiration to connect with all the wise creatures that share this precious planet with us. To support Amelia's mission, learn more or become involved in animal communication, please visit www.ameliakinkade.com.

Hello everyone! Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite for another insightful & fascinating episode with my beloved repeat guest, Fatima-Zahra! Fatima-Zahra is a holistic astrologer with a unique perspective on the zodiac that includes ancient symbolism, archetypes and a deep understanding of the divine polarities. If you haven’t heard our last episode together and you resonate with this conversation, please check out Episode 85, the Power and Significance of Esoteric Symbols, Sacred Geometry and Biogeometry.
Did you know that the planets and stars each represent one side of the great Masculine-Feminine duality? That’s right… the signs within your personal zodiac are considered to be either “male” or “female,” a dynamic that may affect you in ways you’ve never considered before!
In this episode, Fatima-Zahra explains how the duality concept is not necessarily sexual or gender-based. I too believe that everything and everyone holds aspects of both masculine and feminine archetypes, and that it is up to us to have the wisdom and discretion to know when to access those different energies within us all.
Fatima-Zahra and I talk at length about the symbolism and significance of the sun and moon as they represent the dualities within us all. The moon is a reflective, intuitive force that astrologically symbolizes our authenticity, creativity and divine feminine. This is why, according to Fatima-Zahra, we should not overly identify with our sun sign, despite what mainstream zodiac culture would have you believe. Fatima-Zahra also speaks about Black Moon Lilith, an astrological aspect that I’ve personally never heard of! She explains how this ancient, powerful and dark feminine force plays out in the astrological plane, influencing the side of ourselves that many prefer to keep hidden. Here's the truth: ALL of who you are uniquely makes you YOU, and we must learn to accept and holistically incorporate our shadow to lead a balanced, authentic and joyful life.
And how about men? What do men need to know about the role of the moon in their life? We talk about the importance of self care, safety and acceptance for men, and Fatims-Zahra shares some astrologically-informed advice on supporting the moon-side of the men in your life. Ultimately, there’s more that unites us than divides us, and nowadays it is more clear than EVER that we must all tap into our divine feminine to restore balance, support each other and inspire authenticity by unapologetically living in our truth.

Have you ever really clicked with someone in your life and immediately felt comfortable and grounded, almost as if you’d known them for a long time? If you can relate to that, consider yourself to be truly blessed– because, as we discuss in this episode, life is ALL about relationships. My guest, Ryan Sprague, is one of those people for me. We haven’t known each other for long... In fact, this is the first time we’ve really sat down and had a one-to-one conversation. Ryan Sprague is an expert on cannabis and its holistic and medical uses, and this episode will take you to a wide variety of fascinating and complex topics. Ryan is so full of deep ideas and interesting perspectives that I already have him booked for next week’s episode!
Ryan’s mission in life is helping his fellow brothers and sisters become empowered in their experience of being alive through men’s coaching, plant medicine integration coaching and retreat experiences. Ryan is the founder and co-owner of Highly Optimized, which also has a podcast that he hosts in addition to his other show, This One Time On Psychedelics. I highly encourage you to check out Ryan’s programs and podcasts– he is truly a wealth of information.
Some of the topics we discuss in this episode include decision-making fatigue, core values, what it means to live a balanced and healthy life (hint: it does NOT involve strict dieting or removing things that make you happy), the difference between happiness and pleasure, and most importantly: why it is critical to be clear on your “WHY” for doing anything. We also spend some time talking about plant medicines and how to use them to enhance our self awareness for healing, as opposed to relying on them as a means for escape or numbing to the emotions our bodies must process. Lastly, we talk about the importance of using our imagination in the modern world as adults and our responsibility to acknowledge and listen to that inspired child-mind that lies within us all. You’re just going to LOVE this show, and I can’t wait to bring Ryan back to you next week! Please leave a review to let me know what you think of Awakening Aphrodite!

No matter who you are, what you believe or how you identify, chances are that your human experience consists of phases, changes and transitions. Whether you choose to share these stories or hold your experiences closely shrouded in secret, the all-consuming (and at times downright intense) nature of these inevitable life transitions unites women, men and children alike. In the past, important phases of life were culturally acknowledged and supported by traditions, rituals and generational wisdom. To the detriment of our health and collective sense of pleasure and fulfillment, many transitions have come to be ignored or even dreaded in our modern time. Women’s physical rites of passage in particular, also known as the blood mysteries: birth, menarche, first sexual experiences, pregnancy (including the gestation of new ideas and ventures) and menopause have been shamed, suppressed and controlled in recent generations.
My amazing guest, Susan Willson, is a Yale-educated Certified Nurse Midwife with 45 years of experience guiding and healing women on their rites of passage. She’s spent the last two decades working exclusively with women through their menopausal transitions. Her new book, Making Sense of Menopause, gives readers the foundation to reframe their concept of menopause from a culturally dreaded “ending” to a transformative, potent phase brimming with the power to fully embody the authentic self. In this fascinating and empowering episode, Susan and I unpack some of the more complex ideas presented in the book and Susan shares life-changing tips on how to prepare for a smooth transition into menopause, how to cast off internalized shame and how (and why!) to prioritize pleasure in your life.
We talk about the role of epigenetics in our experience of menopause, the Grandmother Hypothesis, and the key role that wise women have played in the evolution of human cognition and culture. Susan tells us about the effects of generational trauma, stress and shame on DNA in the womb, and how your lifestyle NOW will predict your health and happiness not only later in life but for many future generations to come. The REALITY is this: menopause is a time to self-actualize, own your power, not apologize for your wants, needs or desires, not to silence your voice but to live your TRUTH and blossom your gift to the world.
Tune into my episode with Dr. Nathan Riley (see here) for more information and tips on women's health and holistic wellbeing! And if you feel empowered or inspired by this episode, please SHARE! I would also love to hear your thoughts in a review :)

If you’re interested in the heroine’s journey, the prevalence of the Goddess and matriarchal societies throughout human evolution or harmonizing your own internal masculine and feminine energies, this episode is for you!
In today’s introspective solocast, I draw on a major theme of this show: Reawakening the goddess in YOU to bring healing, spiritual connection and empowerment to all life on our endangered planet. This show exists to promote the ideal of holism as an alternative to the imbalanced and struggling system within which we live. It is a fact that our modern society emerged from a blueprint drawn up by the patriarchy that excludes the archetypal Feminine within us all– symbolized by the intuitive, the spiritual and the cyclical, regenerative nature of life. In valuing competition and exploitation above all else, humans have dissociated from the feminine half of the balanced duality of which all is born. Denying the Feminine within us has generated a cascade of worldwide issues: from the normalization of chronic stress (and the multitude of mental and physical health issues directly caused as a result) to the devastating effects of the undeniably anthropogenic seventh mass extinction.
I named this show Awakening Aphrodite because I, like many, was heavily inundated into living imbalanced in the masculine polarity of myself. I begin this episode by sharing my personal experience with burnout, trauma and shutting down my Feminine, referring to The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest For Wholeness by Maureen Murdock, As Above So Below by Ronald S. Miller and Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen’s research for the mythology, anthropology and facts on the oppression and need for the Feminine in all aspects of life. I tell the ancient Greek tale of Persephone and relate her journey to the Jungian subconscious and the human need to acknowledge sacred rites of passage. I also discuss the rise and fall of egalitarian societies, the idea of “God” as a woman, and the symbolism of the feminine-masculine dynamic as it relates to ideas, career, creation and rediscovering the heart-connection that joins us all. Please enjoy, subscribe and I'd love to hear your thoughts in a review or comment!

Welcome to one of the most fun, comprehensive and honest discussions ever about calling in and KEEPING conscious relationships and how to navigate through the sometimes rocky, sometimes confusing, but otherwise super important waters of the masculine-feminine dynamic within them and ourselves! My guest today is Aleks Rybchinskiy and as soon as we met, he became a dear friend (you know when you "just know"!?) whose vibrant passion and curiosity for life comes across through his work, relationships and record-breaking achievements. In fact, Aleks is one of the youngest professionals to ever reach a Level 4 training in the prestigious CHEK institute and he has worked in holistic health for 12 years, providing top-level healing services as one of less than 1000 elite practitioners worldwide.
This episode is centered around relationships: the human relationship with death, how to communicate with your soul, why we need to connect with our authentic selves and, most significantly, how to call in and maintain a conscious soulmate relationship. Aleks shares some incredible relationship advice that I wish I’d heard when I was much younger. Trust me– whether you’re manifesting your soulmate, maintaining a relationship or questioning whether your current partner is THE ONE, you’ll learn something in this fascinating and intimate discussion. Aleks speaks from personal relationship experience with his amazing wife Sara Gustafson, who you can meet (twice!) in episodes 64 and 65 on Awakening Aphrodite.
In this episode you’ll also hear Aleks and I talk about what it’s like to personally work with Paul Chek as students and clients. Aleks tells tales of chasing and nearly missing death as an adrenaline junkie and helps us to understand the dangers of confusing a lack of chaos in life with being bored. I share my thoughts on plant medicines in our conversation about the ego and the soul, and Aleks clears up misconceptions about “surrender” and what that word really means. I also ask Aleks to speak on what it means to be masculine in the modern world, and how a man can successfully balance the feminine within themselves and authentically relate to the women in their lives.
Lastly, Aleks advises us to practice “scaring” your dates away (haha!) with honesty! Meaning: get good at showing potential partners who you really are, and if they stick around you’ll have something to work with!

Nicole Devaney is a shining example of a woman who is truly living in her Goddess nature. She is a faculty instructor at the world-renowned CHEK Institute and considers herself to be a “retired healer and self-employed way-show-er,” as she believes we all intuitively crave to be our most vibrant and healthy selves.
In this empowering episode you may feel as though you are eavesdropping on Nicole & I chatting like two old friends about our lives, dreams and beliefs about who we are as women in this modern culture. I resonate with her as a dancer, entrepreneur and fellow Warrior-Empress living from the wisdom of her soul. Nicole shares the story of her adventurous career in exotic dance and how breaking her spine led her to healing, love and purpose through the holistic health of the CHEK Institute.
We discuss the term “sacred selfishness,” and Nicole explains why it is absolutely okay—and even necessary— to defy the culturally-approved “martyr” identity and care for ourselves with gifts, acceptance (and sometimes chocolate) in a way that may be perceived as selfish. We also take a deep dive into the subject of feminine sexuality and how we can awaken our sacred power as women: from awakening the power in our hips through dance to addressing the myths of peri-menopause and embracing our ever-changing bodies. What would the world be like if we celebrated and acknowledged women’s major life transitions between the phases of Maiden, Mother, Empress-Warrior and Wise Woman-Crone? Lastly, I ask Nicole to share some tips on MANifesting your dream partner, and she gives us the inside-scoop on the spiritual growth she experienced through her past and present romantic relationships. Whew… describing this meaningful & intimate episode barely does it justice, so go get cozy and press play!

Hello and welcome back to the Awakening Aphrodite Podcast! This week’s episode is critically important to the greater conversation on women’s health, female empowerment and awakening the divine feminine within. I am absolutely thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Nathan Riley, an allopathic MD who is also known as the holistic OBGYN. Dr. Riley’s patient-centered approach in medicine is informed by his reverence for the human body, mind and spirit– a perspective that is unfortunately lost on the impersonal, business-centered hospital institutions of our world today. As an OBGYN and provider of Hospice and Palliative Care medicine, Dr. Riley’s holistic practice is uniquely grounded in profound experiences of birth and death. Feeling safe, respected and heard in the healthcare space is absolutely critical, and Dr. Riley’s incredible results and raving testimonials demonstrate how being fully present with his patients allows for healing beyond the physical.
So, what does “holistic” really mean in healthcare and medicine? This question is a core theme in our discussion of hospital-style care, labor and delivery, birth control, menopause and the hormones that make it all happen. Dr. Riley tells us why he places such high importance on getting to know his patients, and how the “7 minute maximum” allotted appointment time in conventional hospitals limits medical providers’ ability to cultivate a safe and trusting environment. We talk about why many women are traumatized by the birth and delivery process in hospitals and how, without adequate support, that trauma can influence future births. Dr. Riley shares his perspective on perinatal care, home births and…birth control! Are women being accurately informed on the pill, the patch, the ring and other methods, and are there consequences to spending years of our lives absorbing these synthetic hormones? We also discuss the relationship between stress and sexual hormones, and how the busy modern lifestyle can impact our health years into the future, increasing the risk of issues with PMS, endometriosis, fertility, birth and menopause. Like I always say, how you live NOW determines how you’ll live later!
Dr. Nathan Riley is truly a gift to this world and I could not be more excited to share this important episode with you. To collaborate with him as a provider, become his patient or learn more about his amazing practice, visit belovedholistics.com and be sure to check out his podcast! Please share this episode with the women in your life or anyone who may benefit from Dr. Riley’s information! And of course, if you feel called to leave a brief review I would be over the moon and very grateful :)

Looks are deceiving, and that saying goes for your water, too! You can invest in good food and exercise programs, surround yourself with supportive friends and family, and even learn to navigate the ups and downs of life with grace... but if you don’t consider your water to be of equal importance, you will never achieve your peak level of health and performance.
Though properly filtering your water is now absolutely necessary for preventing toxins, contaminants, pesticides, foreign additives and other dangerous pollutants from entering your body, filtration simply is not enough anymore (see my eStore for my favorite home filtration system).
Water is one of the four key elements of this world, and as a symbol of feelings, emotions and the feminine lifeforce, it is quite more than the amalgamation of two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen. Water intelligently absorbs and transfers information and is highly responsive to electromagnetic sources (including the technical devices we use every day). If that water isn’t coherent, with the proper harmonious molecular structure, absorbing it will cause premature aging, hormone imbalances and disrupted sleeping patterns. NINETY-NINE percent of the molecules in your body are water! The consequences of not being attentive to the quality of water we use, or of even neglecting to understand this invaluable element, are extensive on a mass scale.
My guest today, Rudolf (Dolf) Zantinge, is a hero of mine and an expert in the fields of data mining, AI, IT and Traditional Chinese Medicine. His fascination with the relationship between light and water intensified when his independent research team observed water’s intelligence and sensitivity to electromagnetic forces. They noticed a declining coherence in our planet’s water and the effects of this phenomenon on the mental and physical wellbeing of all life forms. Dolph’s company created the Analemma Wand as a solution for this newly discovered problem… and since using it, I swear my body looks and feels better than before. Dolph’s independent research has shown that properly aligning your water molecules to ensure coherence can reduce your body’s age by between 2-12 YEARS. The Analemma Wand harmonizes the two hemispheres of the brain to enhance intuition and reduce anxiety while restoring our intuitive, instinctual and knowing senses.
And guess what? Listeners of Awakening Aphrodite have a discount on this amazing device! Just visit https://analemma-water.com and use the code “fitamyTV” at checkout. I promise you’ll love it!
I am thrilled to bring this episode to you and I hope you can share the vital information we discuss with friends and family for the healing of our planet! This show takes a lot of work and resources so I would greatly appreciate it if you would leave a review for me on itunes and share! Thank you so much and please enjoy the show :)

Do you have a favorite animal that carries a special meaning for you?
Have you had any unusual encounters with wildlife in your life?
Are you familiar with your power animals?
Are you looking for Divine Guidance and a stronger sense of intuition and Inner Knowing?
Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite, my friends! This week’s episode is a sequel to my discussion from Episode 78: A Discussion On “Animal Speak: The Spiritual, Symbolic & Magical Powers Of Creatures Great And Small” By Ted Andrews. As promised, this solocast focuses on power animals and the medicine they offer to empower, support and heal. Whether we are aware of it or not, we humans each hold a special heartfelt connection with specific power animals that resonate with our being. These spiritual animal allies may shift to match our experiences, wounds and strengths as we travel through different chapters of life. Drawing on the wisdom and teachings from Ted Andrews’ popular book, “Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small,” I share details on the medicine and symbolism of five carefully selected power animals.
Reconnecting with the deeper part of myself that craves communion with nature has rekindled my passion for studying animals, plants and the indigenous cultures that live in harmony with Mother Earth. I believe, as those cultures do, that animals bridge the spiritual and physical realms and have much to teach us. Every creature has a spirit and soul and plays a significant role in the grand scheme of life. How do you discover your own power animals, and what do they represent in your life? I hope you find the answers you’re looking for in this special episode. Please share, subscribe and I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on my podcast in a comment or review!

Can plants "speak"?
Do they communicate?
Can they "learn", have "families", etc?
I am thrilled to have you here for this week’s brilliant and fascinating guest, Dr. Monica Gagliano!
Dr. Gagliano is an exceptional evolutionary behavioral ecologist who pioneered the field of bio-acoustics and published research on plant cognition: scientifically proving plants' abilities to perceive, learn, remember and communicate with a consciousness not all too different from our own. In this enlightening conversation, Dr. Gaglano shares a story that is also told in her book, “Thus Spoke The Plant,” about how the plants actually instructed her design of the experiment that demonstrated their sentience. Humans are truly not the “superior” species! In fact, plants are our “elders” and have always collaborated and communicated with human societies for food and medicine, a relationship that has unfortunately crumbled in our noisy, consumer-based modern era. Dr. Gagliano emphasizes how becoming open to new forms of communication with the plant kingdom will ultimately lead us back to ourselves, providing the deep connection and groundedness that our society is so desperately seeking right now. She shares with us her experience in Australia’s COVID-19 lockdown and how her relationship with the land helped provide the answers that she intuitively needed to alleviate her perceived isolation. Dr. Gagliano’s approach to both conventional science and the intuitive discoveries beyond are enlightening, inspiring and hold great promise for the healing of our species. So...cozy up and get ready for this heartwarming and eye-opening conversation with the one and only Dr. Monica Gagliano! I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!
The best way to support the Awakening Aphrodite podcast is to share the show with your friends and loved ones! And your iTunes reviews allow me to know that my work is helping and inspiring others! Your feedback is much needed and appreciated! Thank you.

Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite! I am so happy to have you here for this week’s heartfelt discussion on the essence of divine feminine power, sacred symbology and the beautiful soul-awakening therapy of art and painting! My guest for this episode is Fatima-Zahra Farahate who is a passionate holistic astrologer on a mission to help us all remember our divine nature. This personal and inspiring conversation with Fatima felt so natural and flowed so organically (like we where old friends!) that we didn’t cover nearly as many subjects as I had originally planned so we already scheduled to have her back on the show for a second episode!
As a modern mystic and spiritual mentor who has supported many individuals on their paths to self love and understanding, Fatima is a wealth of intuitive knowledge and wise life experience. Growing up as a young woman in Morocco granted Fatima with a unique perspective on the essence of the divine feminine, which she shares as we discuss the healing effects of balancing the sacred masculine and feminine energies within us. We discover our mutual identities as recovered people pleasers and reveal the healing, reviving and even beautifying effects of drawing healthy emotional boundaries and reclaiming our feminine power.
Fatima shares her knowledge of esoteric symbology and the meaning and everyday uses of commonly known symbols including the yin yang, the circle, the infinity symbol and the ankh. These symbols operate on the plane of the unconscious, so your higher self knows them even if you don’t yet! I tell my personal story of learning to connect to my soul through biogeometry and art therapy, and show Fatima some of the symbology art I was called to create (check out the full YouTube episode to see my art!). This free-flowing and personal conversation is sure to uplift and inspire you to create art, notice the symbols that surround you and connect with your soul.
Please like, share and leave a review to support this show– it means the world to me. I hope you enjoy!

Greetings and welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite! Today’s episode will transform your perspective on the U.S. food system and bring the relief of true hope grounded in rational problem solving for the future of our planet and people. Jim Gale, my guest, is a permaculture expert whose passion for revolutionizing our relationship with the land and our food is simply contagious. His mission is to inspire people all over the world to grow their own food...and here’s the secret: it’s NOT as hard as you think! Jim clears misconceptions about growing your own food by explaining how anyone with a countertop, two minutes and less than a dollar to spare can start cultivating their own organic fruits, roots and veggies with ease.
Permaculture is a utopian-like food system that involves the designing of self-sustaining food forests and edible landscapes that are regenerative, biodynamic and poison-free in your own backyard. Jim explains how this comprehensible strategy has the potential to end world hunger, reverse mass extinction and end the manipulation and tyranny of our own government and disease-ridden healthcare system. And better yet– this plan costs less time and money than the demands of your current lawn! Permaculture is holistic, natural, sustainable and NECESSARY!
Jim Gale exudes vibrancy and happiness and engages me in this upbeat, educational conversation with integrity and joy. Having experienced a financial journey from net zero to $20 million in his thirties to negative $80 thousand and back, Jim is a master manifester and shares his tips on generating your personal ideas and dreams. He was recently contacted by both his favorite producer and favorite actor of all time to begin his own TV show, called NatureBoy.TV. So let's get cozy, dig into our integrity and truth and tune into this fascinating episode!
If you are ready to be more self-reliant, empowered and part of the solution not only for your own health but for the entire planet but don’t know where or how to start, you can fast-track the process by getting a certified permaculture expert to design a food forest system for your home with Food Forest Landscape Blueprint.

Greetings and welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite! I am beyond excited to share this week’s guest with you and our powerful discussion on goddess archetypes, self-knowledge, mythology’s relevance in the modern world and so much more. My amazing guest, Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen, is a Jungian analyst, an M.D., a clinical professor of psychiatry, an activist, a diplomat of the American Board of Psychology and Neurology, an NGO permanent representative to the United Nations’ Commission on the status of women, and, among other wonderful things, a prolific author. You may recognize her for her most famous book, Goddesses In Everywoman, a world-famous classic on women’s psychology that uses seven goddess archetypes as a way of describing personalities, behaviors and the true self. I have all of her books and I am just so thrilled to have this wise and accomplished being on my show.
You can look forward to a wide range of topics in this special episode! Our conversation begins with the recent Chinese New Year of the Water Tiger and the optimism it symbolizes as we simultaneously transition from the patriarchal Piscean Age into the egalitarian Age of Aquarius. We dive into the history of humanity and the origin of the goddess and Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen illuminates the unique artistic aspects of human societies and civilizations.
Together, we debunk myths about mythology and relate ancient Greek tales of gods and goddesses to the psyches of people like you and I in the modern day. In honor of the Aphrodite archetype in me (and for the title of my show!) I ask Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen some deeper questions about the this alchemical goddess of love and how we can invite more Aphrodite energy into our lives. She illuminates the truth that the sacred feminine archetype is in all things: from the awe humanity experienced upon seeing the Earth from outer space for the first time to the liminal gray areas we each must navigate when making a major life decision or transition in life. We conclude with tips on balancing masculine and feminine energies to live our purpose in harmony. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite! Today’s show is a recast of MYSELF featured on the “Integrate Yourself” podcast of my dear friend, holistic personal trainer and nutrition and lifestyle coach, Allison Pelot.

So yup, once again, I get pretty personal with you! We finish with a discussion on the Great Awakening of our current time and what it truly means to speak your truth and live in integrity. So buckle up, get comfortable and join our sister-soul connection for this one special podcast!

You know to be healthy and fit, not to mention sleep well and look younger than we actually are, we MUST get a handle on S-T-R-E-S-S! Nothing will wreck pretty much every aspect of your life more than living in a state of underlying stress.

What a pleasure and honor to have world-renowned cultural psychoneuroimmunologist Dr. Mario Martinez on the show today. I've had both of his ground-breaking books, The Mind Body Code and The Mind Body Self in my library since college when my acute fascination with the mind-body connection really kicked in so I was thrilled to be able to sit down with Dr. Martinez and learn from a true pioneer in the industry and founder of Biocognition, or what he calls, the mindbodyculture.
Dr. Martinez is a licensed clinical psychologist who argues that current mechanical models of the life sciences study disease by reducing the body to pathological parts. He proposes that the healing process must include the cultural history that contextualizes the mind-body expression of health, and challenges the cultural beliefs that perpetuate genetic helplessness. Biocognitive theory integrates research in psychoneuroimmunology, neuroscience, and cultural anthropology to conceptualize and address the causes of health, the learning of illness, and the biocultural ingredients of longevity.

Have you ever read a book that immediately changed your life and touched your Soul?
My guest in this episode, Molly Larkin, and her co-author and mentor, Native American Shaman and Medicine Man, Bear Heart (Marcellus William) of the Muskogee Creek tribe, did just that.
I was so humbled and deeply grateful when Molly agreed to come on the show so she could share with you these profound wise teachings with the hopes that they will help you find more meaning, peace, purpose, connection and joy in your life - I know it did for me!
Molly has been a spiritual seeker since the age of seven, when she learned about the scientific understanding of the time that human beings only utilize 10% of their cognitive capacity. That moment sparked her intrigue into the vast possibilities of human potential and her desire to utilize the entirety of her brain's capacity in her life.
Molly has studied with various indigenous elders from around the world for over 30 years and was Bear Heart’s apprentice for 15 years, learning many of his medicine methods. She is a Sun Dancer, a Vision Faster and a Pipe Carrier. Molly has also studied with Lakota elders Wallace Black Elk and Maya Priest and Master Teacher Miguel Angel Vergara. She is an energy healing practitioner and works with an international clientele of people and animals, both in person and via long distance. She teaches healing classes in the U.S. for the largest healing organization in Europe: NFSH-The Healing Trust. Molly has taught personal growth and spirituality workshops in the U.S., Europe, and Australia (whew!). Molly also teaches classes in spiritual healing and is available for private consultations and readings online.
As I mentioned, most significantly, Molly co-authored, with Muskogee Creek elder Marcellus “Bear Heart” Williams, the international best-seller “The Wind Is My Mother; the Life and Teachings of a Native American Shaman” -- a book that touched mySoul. Find this fantastic book now at my eStore!
ENJOY!

Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite!
Do you have a pet? Do you love animals?
ME TOO!
In this episode, we explore the classic book, “Animal Speak: The Spiritual and Magical Powers of Creatures Great and Small” by Ted Andrews who was a pioneer and leading expert in helping us understand animals and nature as well as the metaphysical and spiritual fields of life at large. Although I never had the opportunity to actually meet Ted, I consider him to be a mentor of mine because his work has profoundly affected my life.
We explore modern technology’s interference with authentic connection and look to Ted’s 10 tips for regaining our lost gift of communication with wildlife, omens and the symbolism that emerges from our subconscious awareness:
- Experience nature firsthand.
- Examine the wildlife in your environment.
- Orient yourself in your landscape.
- Pay closer attention to physical signs of nature.
- When in nature, pay attention to what stands out most strongly.
- Notice the colors you encounter in nature.
- Attend to the numbers associated with the animals you encounter.
- Notice the four directions and their significance.
- Pay attention to the animal activities you come across.
- Make a conscious effort to connect with nature.

Second time on the show but first time talking about these super important topics!
My guest today is Marilyn Dumont who has been an Astrologer since 1998 and practices Archetypal Astrology, incorporating AstroDrama and the psychology of the Soul in her very successful online private coaching practice. Marilyn is also the author of the popular book, The IMark Code, Psychology of Astrology which led to the development of a unique way of reading that reveals the patterns of how one communicates in the world and thus makes her readings extremely practical and useful! She now lives in Andrews, North Carolina where she also owns The Open Porch Metaphysical Gift Shop and Knowledge Center.
In this episode, we discuss The Hopi Prophecy and its direct connection to the planetary shifts that are currently challenging us as a collective to transcend the third dimension. Thank goodness for the advice from the wise elders on how to navigate these choppy waters! You can download and explore The Hopi Prophecy further HERE from my website.
Then we switch gears and to 12 Steps to Self Care which are related to the message in the Prophecy! Also on my site.

NEW:* Join my FREE ONLINE WOMEN'S CIRCLE GROUP!**
Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite! In this week's episode, you will learn all about Scalar Energy and the work of Tom Paladino. Tom has spent his life studying and progressing the genius of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Galen Hieronymus. We discuss how research shows that scalar waves can communicate instantaneously across very long distances, and how you can benefit directly from Scalar Light therapy!
As I say all the time on this show: light, like food, water, sound, chemicals, etc. is actually information for our mind and body and it literally gives the cells in the body instructions on what to do. That’s why I was thrilled when today’s guest, Tom Paladino, agreed to come on the show, because I’m only starting to learn and understand how powerful and healing natural light can be.
Tom is a Scalar Light Researcher with over 25 years of experience developing healing techniques designed to help people all over the world to recover from pathogenic infection and experience true health and wellness – not to mention look younger! Scalar light is Chi, Prana, BG3, sunlight, starlight, life force – it’s the original source from which all other forms of energy originate – You could say it’s the very essence of consciousness itself. One of the things I really love about this is it doesn’t draw on the finite energy resources and supplies of Mother Earth other forms of energy does…and you know I’m all about protecting and loving her and restoring harmony and balance both within and without.
In this episode Tom explains how we can both understand and harness this healing power in our everyday lives – and it’s totally painless and effortless I might add – to not only cure illnesses and disease but also enhance our overall quality of life – *Charlotte and I are signed up!
*Stay tuned to the end of the show for Tom’s special FREE TRAIL offer!

If you, or someone you know, has issues with feeling abandoned, rejected or in some way emotionally wounded or estranged from one of your parents, or if you are a single parent and your child does not have a healthy relationship with his/her other parent, this episode is for you.
My guest today is Rachel Isabella who is a forgiveness coach specializing in helping "fatherless daughters". As a fatherless daughter herself, Rachel now helps other fatherless daughters heal their heart wounds, forgive, let go and create wonderful lives out of their pain rather than making poor decisions and life choices because of it. She believes forgiveness is fundamental in order to live a healthy, happy, peaceful life (and I agree!).
Rachel defines "fatherless daughters" as someone who's:
-
Father physically abandoned them
-
Father was physically absent
-
Father was emotionally absent
-
Father died
-
Mother does not know who the father was
We learn that there is a specific and deep emotional wound of unworthiness in fatherless daughters that can manifest in many ways including promiscuity, neediness, emotional shut down/unavailability, lack of intimacy, relationship issues, abandonment/attachment issues, addictions and more.
Most importantly, we talk about how to heal and move on to reclaim your life with a practical discussion on boundary setting, 6 reasons you should forgive and advice for single mom's on how you can fill in the holes left from an absent male figure in your child's life.
Enjoy and please share with someone you love if you think will help them!:)

PODCAST: Awakening Aphrodite (available on all podcast outlets like iTunes and Spotify)
Everyone wants to have good relationships, not only with others but also with ourselves! My guest today is clinical psychologist Wayland Myers and he literally wrote a book on how to do it!
We get into so many important, yet sensitive topics concerning how we communicate with others and how we can do it better to ultimately result in more love, understanding and connection. And we also talk about how to effectively navigate life when someone you love is struggling with addiction. Wayland shares his method of “loving with detachment” and we talk about why it can be the best thing for both parties. I love this show – it’s so important and I know you’ll agree! Thank you for listening /watching and if you feel inclined to share than lovely! ☺
Wayland Myer’s extensive career extends from beginnings in mechanical engineering to the world of social studies and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the CA School of Professional Psychology in San Diego Oh, followed by work in management consulting for various types of business, two 11 year stints of private practice, founding a hospice patient care and volunteer program, serving as president of the board for a second hospice for a 10 year period and working as a roving psychologist at a large medical hospital for two years. He has vast experience in the method of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and worked closely with the practice’s founder, Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D. In addition, Wayland is author of a very popular book: Nonviolent Communication: The Basics As I Know and Use Them which I have and is fantastic!

No doubt we are in unprecedented times. Many cultures and civilizations have prophesied that humanity is on the verge of a great awakening. Bottom line is, it's time to put on our Big Girl/Big Boy pants now and step up from our limited, small self into our larger, more empowered big Self, or Master Self!
My guest today is popular repeat guest, Metaphysical Coach, Rosanne Grace. In this episode, Rosanne gives practical tips and guidance on how to navigate our way during this period so we can rise to the challenge and be better for it.
NOTE: you probably will want to check out my previous episode with Rosanne, #43. Exploring Your Inner Child with Rosanne Grace: Abandonment, Fear, Karma, Vulnerability, Past Lives and Learning From The Ego -* it was sooooo good!
Rosanne Grace is a Metaphysical Intuitive Coach who specializes in getting to the root cause of her clients’ mental, emotional and spiritual interruptions, compromised narratives and disruptive programs in order to be cleared.

If you feel out of sync with our culture, it's probably not you. As women, we are attempting to thrive in a culture that was never designed for us or even with our input or needs in mind, completed stripped from our histories and our sacred practices. This is enough to make anyone feel crazy. And it's OK to reject it all and begin forging your own path.
- Liz Childs Kelly

Although as a society we're more digitally connected than ever before, we are also less emotionally connected. Many adults feel chronically lonely and lacking in real connection, intimacy, support and bonding which are all things that are necessary for a healthy mind, body and spirit. We all need friends and people in our lives we can count on, share intimacy and trust with and be our true selves around.
But why is it so hard to make new friends as an adult these days?!
I recently came across an article in Psychology Today Magazine by Ahona Guha who is a clinical and forensic psychologist practicing in Melbourne, Australia. The article was titled: The Art of Making Adult Friends and I wanted to share it with you.
*Be sure you listen to the end where I mention the "3 C's" necessary for a successful relationship as well as the MOST ATTRACTIVE quality you can have!

Do you struggle with overwhelm, burnout and lack of OOMPH, passion and sensuality? (I know, most of us, right?!)
Well, you're gonna love this episode!
My guest today is Jonita Dsouza and she has quite a story. Jonita was born and raised in the tropical islands of Andaman, India, and left home at the age of 17 to find her identity. Little did she know that the awareness that she was seeking would bring her to London, UK where she found the freedom and expression of her womanhood. Soon she was caught in the rat race and competition of the Western world, burnt out with severe illnesses which made her realize that she had to lose her societal identity to discover her real essence.
After several years of immersing herself in to the spiritual learnings of the divine feminine and discovering her real essence as a woman, she made the decision to pass on this wisdom to as many women around and invite them on a journey of exploring their femininity. In 2012, Jonita founded the company ‘Exploring Femininity’ running monthly online women’s circles, workshops, sacred feminine retreats and private coaching.

Nothing like an invisible and silent force that can be directly harming not only you but those you love and the planet at large!
If you are not familiar with electromagnetic pollution and the affects that it's having on your mind and body, like by interfering with your ability to concentrate, get good sleep, conceive a child as well as increase risk of chronic disease, than you'll want to grab a nice organic beverage and cozy up to this episode. And if you ARE already familiar with how your iPhone, computer and Smart TV are detrimentally affecting you (like that your underwire bra, jewelry and tattoos can increase your risk), I guarantee that you'll probably learn something new here as I had the pleasure of talking with “The EMF Guy”, Nick Pineault!
Nick is the #1 bestselling author of The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs and an advocate for safe technologies. Through his unconventional approach blending humor, science and common sense, he’s becoming a leading voice on the topic of electromagnetic pollution and how it affects our health.

Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite with Amy Fournier! In this episode, I interviewed Cait Corrigan. Cait is a recent graduate from Earlham School of Religion who took on her school’s C0VID-19 vaccine policy and was subsequently threatened, bullied and harassed by her classmates, professor/academic advisor and the president of Earlham College when she pushed back against the school’s refusal to accept her religious belief exemption for the C0VID "vaccine".
After a tremendous heart and spirit-breaking battle, she eventually won and now she’s an advocate for the Constitution of the United States, The Bill of Rights, individual human liberties, truth, integrity, anti-bullying and anti-censorship and above all, bravery.
We hear a lot about values and many people pride themselves on having “strong” ones but the real test is when you face push-back or disapproval or opposition. Do you still stand by your values? In other words, do you actually live them?
If you want to hear of someone that truly LIVES THEIR VALUES, even when things get tough, this one's for you!
Cate’s story is as remarkable as it is concerning, yet it’s truly inspiring to witness the resiliency of the human spirit and a person who truly walks the talk and lives their values!

In this episode, I discuss the monomyth of the Hero’s journey and how it is different from the Heroine’s Journey. You will learn the 8 stages of the Hero’s Journey - a term coined by Joseph Campbell. The Heroine’s Journey is beautifully illustrated by a passage from the book “As Above So Below: Paths to Spiritual Renewal in Daily Life” by Ronald S. Miller. This passage speaks to the challenges women face when tasked with fulfilling the typical Hero’s journey; and paints a new path for women to follow that leaves them feeling fully balanced and whole. If you’ve put aside your passion for integrating spirituality, creativity, intellect, sexuality and intuition into your life, this episode is for you!

In this episode I spoke with Maria Wheatley. Maria is a second-generation dowser who is a leading authority on the geodetic system of earth energies. She was taught how to decode and divine the land by her late father, Dennis Wheatley, who was considered to be one of the UKs top Master Dowsers.
Maria leads sacred site tours and dowsing tours - small groups, private 1-2-1, or larger groups are all welcome to sites such as Stonehenge, Avebury, Glastonbury, Ireland, Scotland, France, Egypt with Kerry Cassidy, Malta and Prague
In this episode, you will learn practical tips that will help you connect to your feminine life force. We discuss what we can all learn from sacred sites, how to detect earth energies, the science of earth divination and how to harmonize our lives with it. I ask Maria how to tap into the electromagnetic field of the earth and how it can change our physical body. We discuss and define alchemy and the history of magic.

Here is more information on the book: Evolution of Goddess:
Evolution of Goddess is a practical introduction to the goddess realm, digging up the histories of long-forgotten myths of goddesses of love, war, death, the sun, the moon, and more. With this clear-eyed and spirited book, you can finally become familiarized with goddesses from a wide range of cultures throughout history, including the mermaids of the Atlantic, the empresses of ancient Egypt, the wise women of the Middle Ages, right up to the modern-day goddesses who walk amongst us today as humble light workers, educating and inspiring. Through a goddess assessment, you’ll uncover your own goddess archetype and be given rituals, meditations, and exercises to tap and embolden your own feminine superpowers. Imbue your life with healing, invigorating goddess energy, and discover ways to harness your new empowerment to improve the world. Now is the time to reconnect with the strength and holistic spirituality of our ancestors—to trace the evolution of the Goddess.

My guest in this episode is Llorraine Neithardt.
For over two decades, the exceptional visionary Llorraine Neithardt has honed her gifts as medium, muse and oracle to thousands of private clients. She is trained in the Science of Mind, Metaphysics, Hermetic Philosophy, Kabbalah, Esoteric Astrology, Archetypal Psychology, Mythology and Symbols. She has undertaken advanced private studies in Alchemy, Angelology, Archetypal Psychology and Dream Interpretation.
Ms. Neithardt is a graduate of a New York’s Parsons School of Art and Design. As her natural gift of clairvoyance was asserted, it led her into extensive studies in esoteric sciences, magic, mythology, alchemy, and the depth psychology of Carl Gustav Jung. These studies led her to delve into the archetype of Venus, symbol of passion and creative imagination, and medium, muse and oracle to thousands of private clients. Many consult her to awaken their unknown potential and bring it to consciousness.
Ms. Neithardt is particularly valued for her work on the “Banished Venus,” which explores the natural wisdom, mystery and laughter of Aphrodite. Contemporary society’s misguided values have harmed the image of the feminine, and replaced them with a ‘pink plastic’ facsimile. The true feminine image must be based on the archetype of Venus. But we can change a culture, one person at a time, by invoking the imagination and re-imaging authentic beauty.
SOME OF THE THINGS WE DISCUSS IN THIS EPISODE:
-
Who was Aphrodite/Venus
-
What is an Archetype
-
How Fate, Fairy tales and Ego Influence Our Lives
-
Help for Narcissists
-
How true beauty scares us
-
How do we know when Aphrodite is present?
-
The difference between a Stereotype and an Archetype/How Aphrodite is NOT "pink porn"
-
How Eros (the God of Relatedness) is KEY to evoking the energy of Aphrodite
-
The Shadow of the Divine Feminine
-
And more...!
"A stereotype is an archetype that has lost it's soul."

In this episode I had the pleasure of talking with Andrea Sanchez. Andrea is a Certified Essential Oil Specialist, a Certified Crystal Healer, an AromaTouch Practitioner and is Symphony of the Cells Certified.
She is also the author of the Chakra Essentials booklet .
We get into so much great and practical stuff including:
-
Ideas and ways to "meditate" if you hate meditating and can't sit still!
-
The difference between crystals, minerals, gemstones and rocks!
-
The importance of cleaning your crystals and how to do it: Under running water, setting the intention to "clear" your crystal of any energy it has held onto that is not for your highest good. You can also smudge them with palo santo or dried sage or set them on your windowsill/backyard under the full moon.
-
A few lesser known crystals that are awesome:
-*Shungite- One of Andrea's favorite crystals(or minerals :)) to use for EMF/5G protection, detox, energetic protection and more. Link to a book a recommend to learn more about this stone;
https://www.amazon.com/Shungite-Protection-Detoxification-Regina-Martino/dp/1620552604
-
*Smoky Quartz- Another great grounding & protective crystal, and it's easily found at one's local crystal shop or online.
-
*Lemurian Seed Quartz- With striations, or ladder-like markings, these crystals look like a clear quartz but have a high-vibration! Most have a feminine energy and help clear our chakras and connect us with universal, unconditional love.
-
Crystals for tapping into the Divine Feminine and working with the Moon and the 2nd Chakra
-
Andrea's personal habits for staying tapped in
....and more!

In this episode I read from a speech by Jada Pinkett Smith called: The War on Men Through the Degradation of Woman. In it she asks the question: How is man to recognize his full self, his full power through the eyes of an incomplete woman? and goes into how the restructuring of our societies from cultures that honored women have now lead to both genders feeling empty and with a lack of meaning, depth and connection.
"A woman is the window to a man's heart and a man's heart is the gateway to his soul."

In this episode I mention how Albert Einstein, like most great minds of our time, had both a reverence and respect for nature, mysticism and spirituality and saw them as inseparable and omnipotent components of science and all of life.
I read from a section of a personal letter written by Albert Einstein to his daughter where he talks about the most powerful universal force of all and how in order to "give visibility to love", he made a "simple substitution" in his most famous equation: E=MC2!

In this episode we get to spend some time with a true pioneer: entrepreneur, spiritual leader, best-selling author, international advocate and expert in Women's Empowerment and Health and best-selling author Sierra Bender.
In her career spanning 3 decades and counting, Sierra's story is as compelling as it is remarkable.
Sierra was pronounced dead on Christmas Eve 1995 when she was 32 from an undiagnosed tubular pregnancy of 4 months that caused her to nearly bleed to death.
During her time "on the other side", she had a conversation with God and was asked 4 questions that would forever change the course of her life and was shown her path and purpose and from that experience, rose the spirit of a Woman Warrior: a strong-willed, compassionate, and fearless entity.
Although she could not give birth to children she gave birth to the 4 Body Fit™ Method. Her 4 Body Fit™ Method became an international movement of women’s empowerment workshops and retreats and created the 4 body trend. She has been on the speaking circuit since 1996. The 4 Body Fit™Method has been clinically proven by the Department of Psychology at American University, DC in clinical trials that prove its effectiveness for healing and empowering females of all ages. Sierra’s best-selling book, Goddess to the Core and teachings continue to be a catalyst to over millions of women and girls around the globe to reclaim their power.
Sierra spearheaded the current trends in the self-help and wellness industries. Her programs created the benchmark in leading institutions Kripalu Center and Omega Institute and universities amongst others. She was the first to address and define empowerment and the lack of it in the Women’s Empowerment and Women’s Health movement and identify personal is professional.
In this episode we tap into so much of Sierra's vast wisdom and experience, including such topics as:
-
The 4 questions she was asked by God when she died
-
The 4 Body Fit Method
-
What is Righteous Anger
-
How to turn pain into purpose
-
When it's time to stop sacrificing yourself
-
Creating boundaries and holding space for others rather than taking on their stuff
-
Control v. Allowing
-
Fear v. Faith
-
Embodying the self and getting grounded
-
How to be accountable to yourself
-
Dealing with change and taking on challenges
-
The 13 Levels of Empowerment for Women Warriors
-
How Goddess to the Core is a Goddess Warrior
"Love isn't just an emotion. It's the most powerful force in the universe grounded by action and responsibility." ~Sierra Bender

This episode is Part 4 of my 10-Part Series based on my latest eBook, Foundations in Fitness Fat Loss Guide: The 10 Key Components of Holistic Fitness and Fat Loss.
Tip #4 is to Have a 12-Hour Non-Eating Window
Although it might sound scary (or restrictive), Intermittent Fasting, or Time-Restrictive Eating, is simply having a 12-hour period of time in a 24-hour day where you do not eat (you only only drink) - it is actually a natural and normal way to live.
Contrary to how our modern society is, we have not always had 24 access to food but rather we went through periods of food abundance and scarcity, not the least of which was regular periods, usually during the night, where we were not eating.
As I discuss in the episode, there are many benefits to following this habit, among which include:
-
aid in weight loss
-
detoxification
-
assist in organ regeneration
-improved recovery from exercise
Give it a try and see if it helps...and let me know ;)
You can get this tip and the other 9, in my eBook: Foundations in Fat Loss: The 10 Key Components to Holistic Fitness and Fat Loss Guideon my website.

In this episode we tap into the wisdom of New York Times Bestselling Author, Mark Nepo and his groundbreaking book: The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have Enjoy by reading the section: "More Power to You".
In it, we learn how there is an ocean of difference between "worldly power" and "inner power" and how wanting "more" of something is actually coming from a place of lack and scarcity.
Mark also gives a great example of what is meant by the popular saying: "It's lonely at the top" in his description of the popular kids game: King of the Hill (I know I played that as a kid!;)) and I add how we can unconsciously sabotage our success at anything - success, achievement, weight loss, relationships, etc.. - when we don't integrate ALL of who we are, the light and the dark.

In this Fast Minute Fridays episode we tap into the wisdom and life's work of senior Jungian psychoanalyst, international scholar, author, poet, and "cantadora", keeper of the old stories in the Latin tradition, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, PhD. and her ground-breaking book, Women Who Run With the Wolves.
If you feel disconnected from your higher, divine feminine Self and it's magical and important qualities and abilities and feel out of touch with your innate, natural and instinctual wisdom and strength, than this episode is for YOU! :)

As part of my 10-part series based on my newest eBook: Foundations In Fitness Fat Loss Guide, here is Tip #2 where I recommend using something I call: "The Hunger Scale".
The Hunger Scale is an easy, low-tech and super effective way of helping you not only lose weight but stay lean and with high energy to boot. Best of all, the Hunger Scale helps you get out of your head and into your body (where so many of us live when it comes to food and eating!) and help you learn how to connect with your body and understand it's physical symptoms, "language" and what it's telling you.
Have a listen and please ENJOY and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and rate and review the show before you go - thank you! :)

Welcome to my first episode where I explain why and how I chose the name for this show!
*Be sure to listen all the way to the end of the show where I share a key quote about how the feminine is the true strength. ;)
I chose the word "Awakening" because it has always been intriguing and compelling to me because it implies the bringing to the surface something that is ALREADY within us - something that is perhaps forgotten or has gotten buried for some reason. It's time to bring it back into consciousness!
And I chose the word "Aphrodite" because she is the ultimate archetype of the Divine Feminine! She is the famous Greek mythical Goddess of Passion, Beauty, Sensuality, Creativity and most of all, Love. Known by the Romans as Venus, she is the most revered and powerful of all Goddesses and her magnetism was said to be irresistible to ALL Gods, Goddesses and mortals (with the exception of three Goddesses).
Although she was the female Eros essence, and the life force itself, Aphrodite was also a FORCE! She was a fierce Protector, Creator and ruled victory and prosperity for people.
Most of all, Aphrodite apologetically and unabashedly OWNED her power, her gifts and her desire and ability to meet her needs. As women, we have a lot to learn from her on how to prioritize our own self-care (without guilt!), how to love ourselves better and how to bring more joy, laughter and pleasure into our lives.
So if you want to fully and powerfully embody and love every ounce of your body and your Self, you are in the right place. This show is about learning how to do this better for ourselves so we can more fully, completely and brilliantly shine in our own unique, authentic magnificence.
Thank you so much for listening. I already can't wait to connect with you again and if you liked the show, please:
