There are moments when life as you knew it has shifted, but what comes next has not yet fully revealed itself. This episode is an invitation into that in-between space: the tender, uncertain gap between releasing what was and reaching for what is calling you forward. Because this is exactly where I am at, AS I AM BEING CALLED TO HIT PAUSE ON THIS PODCAST. After 98 episodes shared week after week,…
If your once-reliable manifesting practice has suddenly gone quiet, or worse, started stirring up frustration instead of flow, this doesn’t necessarily mean you are doing it wrong. You may simply be standing at the threshold of a realm most teachings never mention. In this week's Alchemical Illumination Portal, we explore what Hermes, the father of alchemy, knew about manifestation that modern…
Our perception shapes our reality, and our hearts shape our perception. Our human journey is a gift meant to help us recognize the ways we've been taught to understand reality ways rooted in fear. This is the way to truly reclaim our innate power and embody this knowingness from within. This power was never meant to be about controlling others. It is about being so tapped into your heart that you…
Darkness, the downward spiral, the sense you are drowning fighting to catch your breath before another huge wave of emotion or challenge hits you, this is the descent journey. And when all we are taught is that we are supposed to keep ascending through life, descending feels like flat out failure. But nothing could be further from the truth. If your soul has been presented with this option, it is…
Does the hero's journey only belong to men, and the heroine's journey to women? This week, I explore this through the lens of alchemy. Because what alchemy does is integrate the spiritual and the psychological, and what arises through this assimilation is a different picture. In this episode, I'm making the case for why nearly all of us, regardless of gender, find ourselves walking the hero's path…
Welcome to the first of these Alchemical Illumination Portals — brief, potent transmissions designed to illuminate the places where something in you is ready to shift. In alchemy, nothing is wasted, and nothing is random. What appears as resistance, blockage, or uncertainty may actually be the very material needed for transformation, if you know how to read it.Join me as we explore:* Why what…
There's a lightning-fast way to growth, but wow, does our ego hate this path. It's the opportunity to understand more of who we really are in those cringy moments. The moment you couldn't believe THAT came out of your mouth or you actually did THAT. Quite frankly, it's shocking, even to yourself, because this version of you is not who you want to be. But there it is, out in the open, leaving us…
As America approaches 250 years of independence, I find myself holding both how recent studies show trust in institutions is at historic lows, national pride is fading, and psychologically the cages we find ourselves struggling with internally. But this shouldn't be a surprise to us because we know the Law of Correspondence that states "As within, so without." In other words, our country and the…
There is a level of partnership that goes beyond what we typically think of as soulmates. This is what author Cynthia Bourgeault discusses as Fifth Way Love, and once you understand it, you may never see intimate partnership the same way again. The territory we are entering is intimate partnership as a path of spiritual alchemy. There is a dimension of pleasure available within a sacred…
The Divine wants to please you. Which is why you have been built for pleasure. Not just from a sensory level, but also with an aspect within you that seeks to fulfill you, bring you joy, and feel pleasurable. But the hard truth is that it is easy for our egos to corrupt our pleasure. It's also easy for others to manipulate you into finding pleasure in ways that only have a short-term effect.…
It seems strange, but there are people who are threatened by your existence. Of course, it isn't actually you who is the threat — it's what you represent to them. They believe you have something they cannot have, something you don't deserve, or that you took something from them. And so they resent you for it. The only semblance of power they feel, after having given it away, is to try to put you…
