Divine Feminine Intervention: I'm Back! Apologies, My Computer Crashed... Updates From Whitney & A Little Inspiration & Guidance For Your Week

It often takes diving head first into all the sticky, messy, & unhealthy means of coping in life to gain spiritual understandings & reach a state of enlightenment. How else would you realize how backwards it is to harm yourself in order to feel better? And if it's backwards, then what would it be to live in a forward manner? This is all to say that life can lead us to bizarre and unthinkable circumstances before we find our peace. My guest this week, Rae Leonard, shares the most delightfully raw, honest, and light hearted account of descending into the depths of addiction and darkness to then rise up again into the light to discover all her glorious intuitive, Divine Feminine gifts.

On this guest episode, Rae and I have a lovely conversation comparing stories of addiction, recovery, and uncovering the treasures found in the watery intuition of a Woman's heart and mind. Rae's unique regale of life growing up in the 70's, partying like a rockstar, and then nearly drowning in housewife drug addiction. We laugh and marvel at how much more enjoyable life is when we're treating ourselves kindly and consuming healthy products. Rae shares her unique insights into the claresenses and understanding of master cleansing. 

Rae Leonard is an author, intuitive guide and coach. Her latest book is titled, High Sobriety: A trip out of the bottle into your intuition. As a Transformationalist, Rae draws on her expertise in Jivamukti Yoga, VortexHealing®, performing arts, Conscious Language, and
master cleansing to help people who are ready for Post Traumatic Growth. She assists in dissipating subconscious triggers to allow people to become the frequency of their designs. One of her guiding principles is, “Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. This is not philosophy. It is physics.” - Albert Einstein

Happy Super New Moon in Pisces! I know, it happened on the 10th yet I'm recording this on the day of the Moon and feeling into that Pisces energy as well as the end of the year/wrapping things up energy. We do find ourselves at this Moon in the last sign of the Zodiac year. Pisces allows some space for swimming in the potential and exploring possibilities before we head into fired up Aries season ready to take charge and make moves as we leap into Spring and the new Zodiac year.

On this Divine Feminine solo episode I share my take on the energies of this final New Moon of the year, a Super New Moon in Pisces. I offer some ways to embrace these last days of Pisces season and the 2023/24 Zodiac year and allow some free flowing, swimming in the void as we wrap things up and consider what the next year will bring. I also provide a little guided mediation and pull a Moonology card which are always timeless whenever you hear it.

We've made it to the 7th Sword of Self Entrapment and NO, it's not a repeat. The 1st Sword was Self Doubt, the down trodden cousin of today's Sword, the Sword of Self Criticism. While Self Doubt may feel like an eeyore, woe-is-me mentality, Self Criticism feels like a cruel & unkind commentator who's only purposing is to scare you into believing you're not enough. Where does this voice come from and why is it such a prominent affliction for Humanity?

On today's Identify & Heal solo episode, I answer these questions and share my thoughts on the nature of self criticism. How at its source it can be trying to protect us yet it is up to us to stand up to that inner critic or negative commentary running through our head to say THANKS yet no thanks. Stating that we appreciate the input yet we're good, that we know our worth & value is not determinant on external factors and choose peace & acceptance over fear. Realizing that the pain of staying hidden away because we may not be good enough or accepted far outweighs the risk of letting ourselves be seen.

More & more Spiritual Women (including myself!) are feeling the pull to follow their passion & pursue entrepreneurship. And what a beautiful & exciting path that is. However, it isn't the easiest one. And as with most things, it is the getting started that is the hardest part. That's where my guest this week, Jenna Harrison, comes in. Jenna is a reformed over-analyzer turned top ranked business coach, podcast host, and founder of The Uncommon Way, where women build their businesses and lives differently and often counterintuitively. 

On this guest episode, Jenna shares some wonderful insights about how so many of us are on the journey from the rational/logical/masculine energetic to the Divine Feminine & spiritual path. She also offers some of the amazing specifics of how entrepreneurship made her woo.
She goes on to explain how it’s possible to grow businesses with both smart strategy/skills AND powerful mindset AND energetic alignment … and how much more successful we are when we cultivate all 3. And how creating an authentic offer intentionally is the vehicle that allows you to connect with the people you’re meant to work with and who are LOOKING FOR YOU!

Before Jenna became a serial entrepreneur she oversaw brand communication and copy for over 33 brands at a top fashion company. When not wearing her coach hat, you’ll find her satisfying her wanderlust, playing tug of war with her puppy or chasing after her 6-year-old son.

The Animal Kingdom is a glorious gift to humanity. Animals seem to serve as beautiful messengers to humans of unconditional love, kindness, & companionship. Of course this may not seem to be the case with all animals considering so many are wild and known to be dangerous. Yet if you watch any nature documentary you'll see the beautiful and actually very Divine Feminine qualities that animals exhibit. Yes they can be violent yet they honor balance and coexist respectfully with the lands they live on. Animals can be so admirable in fact that Native Americans long ago created the concept of having a Spirit Animal. Noting the noble, wise, and Divine qualities animal possess they would claim a Spirit Animal when a human embodies these traits.
 
On this Divine Feminine solo episode I soar into the concept of Animal Spirit Guides. Distinguishing between Animal Spirits, Guides, & Companions I break down how we can connect with the essence of animals in an empowering & meaningful way as well as honor the animals in our lives as a sacred, soulful connection. I also point out how animals can be messangers from the Spiritual realm, often showing up in our lives as symbols and signs from passed over loves ones.

I recorded this episode on Leap day 2024! Perfect day to speak about leaping into the Unknown. I'm including this as one of the swords of self entrapment because of the the two fold way that the Unknown keeps us bound, both emotionally & in situations in our lives. People will often remain stuck in jobs, relationships, communities, friendships, & lifestyles because their afraid that there might not be something better out there if they leave. And others will fall into a sense of despair when losing faith that things will work out for them, feeling lost not knowing what is to come.

On this Identify & Heal solo episode I explore this concept of the unknown and how it can leave so many of us paralyzed by fear & unable to take risks for a better life. Holding ourselves back from pursuing the dreams held deep in our hearts and aligned with out soul's path. How many people will justify staying in an unhealthy, unfulfilling, & unhappy place to remain in what at least seems safe & familiar. I discuss the cost of this sword, what lies on the other side of taking that leap of faith, & how the Universe will always conspire to help us when we're ready to reach our full potential.

It's a remarkable feat to make a movie. There is a WHOLE lotta work that goes into that process. My out-of-this-World guest this week, Dana Kippel, not only made a movie she also wrote the script and starred in it!  And to add extra points... it's spiritually, esoteric, and healing based. Heck ya. It's also a lot of fun & thought-provoking so really, you just need to see Dana's awesome movie, Reflect. Dana is a Director, Writer, Actor, and Producer living in Los Angeles, CA. She infuses her metaphysical beliefs into every film she makes & loves anything about futurism, mythology, philosophy, poetry, speculative fiction, and ancient language

On this guest episode Dana gives us the down-low on what her movie, Reflect, is really about and how her experiences in life both shaped the script and inspired her desire to speak on the shadow aspects of life that we all walk through. We get deep into metaphysical concepts, our shared affinity for Aliens, the challenges of dating as an enlightened being in the making, & our predictions for the very remarkable years and decades to come. 

Dana is an avid advocate for Neurodivergence and Mental Health awareness. Her mission is to use the medium of film and books to inspire people to look inside themselves, realize their true power, and enhance their curiosity, connection, and self-love. Her artistic style is Picturesque, Naturalistic, Whimsical, and Metaphysical. Each moment carries a whisper of magic. Her expertise is in Grounded Sci-fi, Drama, and Comedy. Dana has a background in Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Psychology, Mathematics and Science. She brings her own struggles with addiction, mental health, and self-love into the stories she tells. Dana is also currently authoring a book on Plasma Intelligence and the Metaphysics of Plasma.

As we come out of the energy of this past weekend's Virgo Full Moon there might be a sense that it's time to clean house. Time to get organized, clear out clutter, and evaluate how we want to invest out time. Virgo's are good at getting down to business and finding efficient paths towards a task. Virgo's also can be over analytical & have a critical eye. With that being said, you may find yourself feeling ready for an overhaul of your environment & schedule while also bombarded by anxiety about your past and how you'll move into the future.

On this Divine Feminine Solo episode I share about how we can shift away from a sense of uneasiness believing that something we did or a situation we're currently in is not OK. Then we can move into a place of knowing that we are always OK. That regardless of something we may have done in the past or a way we have behaved, a decision we've made, or something we've said we are still deserving of acceptance & forgiveness, especially from ourselves.

Here comes Sword 5 and it's a deep one... Shame. The heaviness of Shame lies in the fact that it is truly insidious & creates fear in us at a cellular level. The fear that there is something inherently wrong with us, that we are bad, and that it's only a matter of time before everyone finds out. Shame can also be spurned from things that happen to us which feel too terrible and unacceptable that we can never let anyone know. We keep them buried deep inside with the resulting shame of these experiences eating us up. It's unpleasant and devastating & it's also all completely unnecessary as we are always completely unconditionally loved and safe just as we are. 

On this Identify & Heal solo episode I offer some insight into how shame can first be created within us and then take over our ability to feel free & safe in who we are. I distinguish between embarrassment & shame, offer resources on identifying and releasing shame, & provide encouragement that just because the pain and belief is deep it doesn't mean we can't reclaim our unconditional, perfect selves and thrive.

It can be helpful to have a guidebook as we travel along our spiritual path. Especially to those newly embarking on the path, a few pointers and insights can be helpful. My guest this week, author Edit B Kiss, went ahead and wrote that guidebook for you. This book is a guide for all the individuals who feel a calling to become a lightworker but do not know where to start. Edit's book offers practical tools to your journey and key elements that you need to implement to make the process easier. Edit created this book to make sure you get to your destination, do not become discouraged halfway by obstacles and stay protected and healthy on the way. Bon Voyage!

On this episode Edit shares with us about her book and elaborates on some of its concepts including how you can rewrite your past and create a new future, why time doesn't heal & traumas are buried in the unconscious mind, how triggers are the signs of existing traumas, what makes us our own worst enemy, why mindfulness is key to happiness, the power of transcendental meditation, & how releasing traumas stops triggers and prevents diseases.
