In this episode of Mystical Mermaid Lounge, Chloe Brown and Chione Star sit down with Edward White, a personal trainer and Reiki Master who blends fitness, energy work, and sobriety into a grounded approach to healing.

Edward shares his journey from alcoholism to six years of sobriety, and how that path led him into Reiki, meditation, and somatic awareness. Together, they explore how mind, body, and spirit healing work together, including managing anxiety through breathwork, body awareness, and energy practices.

They also discuss empathy, clairsentience, and how tuning into the body can support both emotional regulation and long-term resilience. Whether you’re navigating recovery, starting a fitness journey, or exploring energy work, this conversation offers practical insight into building a more connected and sustainable relationship with yourself.

In this episode of Mystical Mermaid Lounge, Chloe and Chione welcome Susan Bischak for a rich conversation on mediumship, past life regression, biofield tuning, energy healing, spirit communication, and intuitive development. Susan shares the early experiences that opened her spiritual path, her work as the author of Healing a Desperate Heart, and how she blends multiple healing modalities in both in-person and virtual sessions. 

Together, they explore haunted experiences, past life regression, spiritual training, emotional healing, and the connection between the body, intuition, and energetic memory. Susan also speaks about why some regression work is best done in person, how intuitive information can arise during energy work, and why beginners benefit from grounded spiritual education and community.

Steve Klein joins Chloe Brown for a grounded conversation on men’s mindfulness, leadership, and growth in everyday life.

A master electrician for more than thirty-five years, Steve shares how a lifetime of teaching, leading by example, and learning to trust his intuition led him to create Build a Better Human and the Saturday Social, a group for men centered on honest conversation, self-awareness, and real connection.

This episode explores mindful leadership, emotional availability, community, masculinity, and the courage it takes to ask better questions. Steve speaks candidly about building confidence without perfectionism, learning through discomfort, and why growth begins when we get quiet enough to hear what is true.

In this episode of Mystical Mermaid Lounge, Chloe Brown and Chione Star sit down with Dr. Stefanie Bennett, a transpersonal psychologist and author who explores the deeper dimensions of narcissistic abuse through depth psychology, spiritual science, and Aramaic linguistics.

Together, they unpack gaslighting, the differences between covert and overt narcissism, malignant narcissism, and why precise definitions matter when the word “narcissist” is often overused. Dr. Bennett explains why recovery can require more than talk therapy, including the role of somatic healing, spiritual integration, and reclaiming sovereignty and inner authority after trauma.

Olivia Magdalena shares how Mary Magdalene became a living bridge between faith, body, and spiritual authority.

Raised Catholic and later pulled into a deep reclaiming, Olivia traces the moment her path shifted through grief, synchronicity, and the book Mary Magdalene Revealed. From there, the conversation opens into what it can mean to claim “priestess” as a commitment to radical honesty, shadow work, and becoming fully human while still remembering the sacred.

We talk about what was erased, why devotion does not require dogma, and how discernment matters when New Age rhetoric gets sticky or hierarchical. Olivia also explains her work as a “somatic storyteller,” where the body becomes a language for truth, healing, and reclamation.

The moment Kim Baker says the trees move at a different pace, you can feel the room settle. We invited Kim, Professor Emeritus with a PhD in literacy education, a Usui Reiki master, and a high priestess initiate, because her life bridges scholarship and sacred grounding. She opens up about childhood out-of-body experiences, the quiet power of daily gratitude, and the day ancient sites turned intuition into touchable energy. From Avebury and Glastonbury to the oak that’s watched three centuries pass, Kim shows how place can be teacher, mirror, and home.

Details
We follow her path from reading the Ogham tree alphabet to serving on a local Mohawk Hudson land conservancy board, where preservation becomes practical. Her story pivots to animal guides—a blue heron that once trailed her days and the hawk she found inside her screened porch. With gardening gloves and a calm voice, she carried it back to open sky, accepting that guides change as we do.

Kim offers a reframing that sticks: we aren’t destroying Earth, we’re destroying our own habitat. Trees and plants have endured five mass extinctions; they want us to make it, too. We talk forest bathing and childhood wonder, tree communication and fungal networks, “invasive” species and the cycles that turn loss into shelter and food. She shares what claiming the crone title feels like—less stamina, more presence—and why intentional vegetarianism aligns with caring for land while honoring the life in plants and animals. The throughline is simple and fierce: compassion, connection, and gratitude are choices we can make today.

If this conversation roots you like it did us, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a walk among trees, and leave a review so more listeners can find their way back to wonder.

What if healing didn’t demand reliving your worst moments? We sit down with intuitive guide and earth listener Steve Freeland to explore a grounded path to transformation that blends tuning forks, singing bowls, and angelic archetypes with practical aftercare. Steve traces his journey from military life to vibrational medicine, sharing how a Korean guru reframed service as a mutual blessing and how alternative remedies cracked open a new way of seeing the body, the soul, and the patterns we inherit.

Details

Steve maps trauma across three layers—real, perceived, and inherited—and shows how those resonances lodge in the root, sacral, and solar plexus. His goal is “zero point,” a clear state where your soul’s agreements can move without interference. We talk about the nadial point beneath the sternum, a horizontal stasis zone where shock fragments can hide for years, and what changes when it’s finally cleared. Expect nuanced insights on cord cutting (as musical “chords”), why some bonds must be cleaned rather than broken, and how to reroute excess energy safely.

The stories are vivid: instant clarity after a session, long arcs of change that culminate years later, and moments where time seems to bend when the work is pure. Steve offers actionable support—deep tissue massage within three days, chlorophyll, Epsom baths, breath cues—and a simple mantra to navigate the world: fact, love, or above. We also explore advanced sephirot work, couples alignment, free will in reconnecting cords, and subtle body repair practices that invite Earth Star and Soul Star energies into daily life. It’s an honest, compassionate conversation about clearing false stories, honoring the body, and choosing love as a practice.

What if your emotions weren’t problems to fix but signals guiding you back to yourself? We sit down with Akashic Bec—Akashic Records channel, hypnotherapist, and numerologist—to explore emotional regulation, energy flow, and the practical side of mystical work. Together, we unpack why so many of us feel disjointed, how suppression distorts the body’s magnetic field, and why returning to center changes what life brings to your door.

Details

Bec walks us through her consent‑led approach to the Akashic Records, turning scattered experiences into a clear soul map. We demystify hypnosis and past life regression, swap the Hollywood myths for the real theta‑state benefits, and outline when hypnosis can succeed where solo meditation stalls. We also dive into Emotion Code and Body Code—precision tools for releasing trapped emotions and inherited cords—so you can feel lighter without guessing. Empaths will find strategies to stop absorbing everyone else’s weather, while those who avoid feeling learn how to safely open, process, and move on.

Then we get wonderfully nerdy with numerology. Learn how your life path number acts like the foundation of your inner house, why master numbers (11, 22, 33) intensify lessons and gifts, and how personal years and months help you plan surgeries, launches, and important milestones. Beck shows how numbers pair with intuition to make better decisions in the real world—no complex math required. Along the way, we share grounded practices for consistency, why healing is a spiral not a race, and a powerful reminder to stop comparing your timeline to anyone else’s.

********* TRIGGER ALERT - BRIEF MENTION OF SUICIDAL IDEATION **********

What if creativity could be a ritual that heals the deepest parts of you? We sit down with River Root—recovering attorney, self-taught artist, and unabashed classic car nerd—to explore how black-and-white photography, wood burning, and intention turned a life marked by breast cancer into a canvas for meaning. River shares the turning point from evangelical roots to an earth-centered spiritual practice, why a first group ritual felt like coming home, and how incense, music, and a pyrography pen create a flow state where time loosens and the soul gets loud.

Details

The conversation travels through the intimate details that shape an artist’s eye: macro shots of headlights that look like diamonds, architectural cornices and doorways, and the sacred geometry hidden in everyday objects. We talk about the leap from posting photos in a phone-saturated world to transforming images into tactile keepsakes on wood, sometimes finished with watercolor, and soon with handcrafted sigils. Along the way, River opens up about language and illness—why “warrior” talk can harm, how hair loss makes an invisible battle suddenly public, and what it meant to choose life without reconstruction and still claim beauty, style, and desire on her own terms.

We also wrestle with the word “crone”: the stereotypes, the impostor feelings, and the reframing that turns it into autonomy, earned wisdom, and the freedom to design a life you actually want. There’s humor (“my boobs tried to kill me”), tenderness, and practical insight on turning intention into practice, embracing authenticity when it isn’t universally loved, and finding your people by making the art only you can make. If you’re curious about ritual, creativity, witchcraft, body image, or how to rebuild after a hard season, this one will stay with you long after it ends.

What if your boldest work began the moment you stopped asking for permission? We sit down with NAACP award-winning, self-taught artist, author, and brand strategist Kristen Nicole Mann to explore how creativity can be both sanctuary and sword—healing the self while challenging the stories we’re told about who gets seen and what counts as art.

Details

Kristen traces the surprising path from a college journalism classroom and a foreclosure-law call center during the 2008 crash to her first unexpected art sale and a thriving practice rooted in color, text, and truth. She breaks down her intuitive process—no grids, no sketches, just guided choices that pair vibrant palettes with lines from scripture, Maya Angelou, and other voices that anchor a room. We talk about why she paints women across ages and shades with softness and strength, why hair becomes a site of dignity and memory, and how a single dismissive word—“gig”—clarified her purpose to build legacy-driven work that refuses to shrink.

Along the way, we look honestly at the art world’s gatekeeping: museum wings that relegate community stories to the margins, the difference between African and African American lenses, and the power of online platforms to open doors when institutions won’t. Kristen shares practical wisdom on navigating social media without losing yourself, setting boundaries that protect your energy, and cultivating character so your work can stand in hard weather. If you’ve ever been told your calling isn’t a “real job,” you’ll find a playbook here for turning doubt into direction and pain into color.

What if the most profound spiritual work isn’t about learning more, but about being held better? We sit down with priestess and author Elyse Welles to explore the living architecture of spiritual containers—closed, intentional spaces designed for trust, transformation, and the kind of sisterhood that lets people bloom. Elyse shares how she plans by listening to sacred land, channels curriculum in trance, and sets clear boundaries so participants feel safe to be brave. The result isn’t just knowledge; it’s a cellular shift you can feel, a web of relationships that keeps humming long after the closing circle.

Details

We get candid about what separates a true container from a workshop: devotion, presence, and ethical space holding. Elyse explains why she travels to oracular sites in Greece, how lineage and landscape shape the work, and why the same program never runs the same way twice. We talk about the power of closed groups, the surprising depth of online circles, and the importance of addressing real-world pain without spiritual bypassing. From veterans and civil servants seeking steady ground to seekers who “just knew” they had to join, these stories show how intention calls the right people at the right time.

If you’ve ever wondered whether remote ritual can be sacred, how pricing intersects with commitment, or what qualities make a trustworthy facilitator, you’ll find practical insight and heart-forward clarity here. Most of all, you’ll hear an invitation to name the community you need and let it find you. If you felt the tug while listening, follow it—your next chapter may already be knocking.

What happens when a traditional spiritual upbringing collides with the transformative power of yoga? Kascey Schvans takes us on her remarkable journey from Catholic roots to finding profound connection on the yoga mat.

Details
Kascey's story begins in Canada, where exposure to diverse spiritual traditions planted seeds that would later flourish in unexpected ways. Describing herself as once sampling from the "religion buffet," Kascey shares how her path eventually led to a life-changing moment during meditation on Tamarindo Beach in Costa Rica. That pivotal experience redirected her from pursuing a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling toward becoming a trauma-informed yoga teacher.

The conversation delves into the fascinating intersection of traditional faith and modern spiritual practice. Kascey reveals how her relationship with her father, a Catholic deacon, has evolved through mutual respect despite their different paths. When he questioned her belief in "moon water," she astutely asked how that differed from a priest blessing water—highlighting the beautiful parallels between ancient rituals and contemporary spiritual practices.

For yoga newcomers and skeptics, Kascey offers invaluable insights that dispel common misconceptions. She explains the various types of yoga beyond the Instagram-perfect poses, emphasizing that the practice was traditionally designed to prepare the body for meditation, not just increase flexibility. Her passion for making yoga accessible shines through as she discusses how props and adaptations can help practitioners of all body types and abilities find comfort in their practice.

Kascey's current studies in psychoactive pharmaceutical investigation reflect her commitment to bridging ancient healing wisdom with modern science, particularly for veterans and those with PTSD. Her vision of creating a professional home at the intersection of healthcare and spirituality represents a hopeful future where these artificially separated domains can work in harmony.

Whether you're a devoted yogi, spiritually curious, or somewhere in between, Kascey's wisdom offers a fresh perspective on finding your authentic path. As she beautifully reminds us: "Get to know yourself in the quiet moments... without your job title, without your social labels... and if something isn't serving you, stop doing it." Follow Kascey on Instagram at aligned_rites_of_passage to continue your journey together.

What happens when you follow your intuition across the globe to ancient sacred sites? Katherine Eady's journey to Greece transformed not only her spiritual practice but her entire relationship with her body and emotions.

Details

Despite having no ancestral connection to Greece and battling significant social anxiety, Katherine felt called to join a spiritual retreat to Delphi and other sacred sites. The experience demanded perfect love and perfect trust—surrendering to the unknown with strangers who would quickly become profound spiritual connections. At the Oracle of Trifonios, Katherine participated in a powerful fear release ceremony that began dissolving lifelong anxieties. In the ancient, unexcavated city of Gla, she experienced one of her deepest meditative states ever while chanting with her group in a liminal gateway space.

Most surprising was Katherine's realization that true spiritual connection doesn't come from escaping the body but from fully inhabiting it. Having grown up in a religious environment where only pleasant emotions were acceptable, she had spent decades suppressing her authentic feelings, resulting in physical manifestations like chronic tension and digestive issues. Through embodiment practices at the retreat, she began the challenging work of identifying and expressing the full spectrum of emotions—rage, grief, shame, and joy.

Perhaps most magical was her unexpected connection with the land spirits of Greece. In the Valley of the Muses, she could sense the wind spirits moving through the mountains before physically feeling the breeze. This reciprocal relationship between humans and the land became a powerful lesson: "We find healing in the land, but the land also can find healing in us."

Whether you're seeking spiritual transformation, emotional freedom, or simply a deeper connection with the natural world, Katherine's story reminds us that sacred journeys happen both externally and internally. What might you discover when you step into perfect trust?

The iconic psychic, author, podcaster and instructor Deb Bowen doesn't just teach spirituality—she lives it. With bare feet touching the earth and altars scattered throughout her home, she embodies the earth-based wisdom she's cultivated over more than five decades of metaphysical study.

Details

Our conversation with this beloved spiritual educator and co-host of the Psychic Teachers Podcast reveals how profoundly her approach to intuitive work has evolved. "I don't think of myself so much as a psychic anymore," Deb confesses, explaining that her mission has shifted toward helping humanity reconnect with Mother Earth. This environmental consciousness permeates everything from her writing to her teaching, grounded in the belief that we exist within "the great giving circle" where humans hold no special place above other beings.

Deb's new book, "Crafting the Wheel of the Year," co-authored with Claire Gelder, guides readers through the eight Celtic seasonal celebrations with historical context, spiritual teachings, and accessible craft projects. From Samhain (October 31st) marking the Celtic new year to Mabon at the autumnal equinox, these observances reconnect us with natural cycles too often forgotten in our supermarket-supplied lives. "We forget that bag of carrots used to live in the dirt," she reminds us, "and we forget the people who grew them and picked them."

Throughout our discussion, Deb weaves together threads from numerous spiritual traditions while emphasizing discernment—the critical thinking that helps each person discover their own truth. Her inclusive approach mirrors her experience teaching Tarot, where she sees the cards not merely as divination tools but as guides to understanding our connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Whether discussing the Beatles' influence on her spiritual journey or offering her friend Joel's wisdom—"push pause, be present, see the spirit"—Deb delivers profound insights with warmth and authenticity. Her teachings remind us that true spirituality isn't about escaping the world but embracing our place within it more fully.

Imagine a life where you're no longer held captive by the patterns, trauma, and limiting beliefs that formed during your earliest years. A life where you understand your true needs, communicate with clarity and compassion, and approach every relationship from a foundation of self-love rather than desperation or fear.

Psychic medium and holistic coach Melissa Gentile Bishop joins us to unveil the Revolutionary Love Program (RLP), a transformative 12-week journey that combines Eastern and Western healing modalities to release energetic blocks stored in our bodies. These blocks, formed between ages 0-12, create patterns that repeat throughout our lives until we consciously break them.

Details

"Who remembers what happened at two years old that created this thing in me that tells me I can't love fully?" Melissa asks, highlighting how RLP uses kinesiology (muscle testing) and acupressure to identify and release these unconscious patterns. The program bridges the gap between mind and body, addressing the disconnection that occurs when we try to overcome emotional blocks through willpower alone.

After leaving her successful but unfulfilling corporate career, Melissa created her holistic studio Wholehearted in Dover to help others avoid the suffering she experienced. "I sat in my shit for so damn long," she candidly shares. "Now, 20 years later, I feel like I'm just finally living my life, full of love and vibrance and authentically who I am."

The most profound revelation from RLP might be its redefinition of boundaries and vulnerability. "Boundaries aren't ways to keep people out—they're ways to teach people how to love us," Melissa explains. Through conscious relating, we learn to see others as they truly are while honoring our own needs, creating authentic connections rather than codependent attachments.

Whether you're struggling with relationships, seeking deeper self-understanding, or simply tired of repeating the same patterns, Melissa's insights offer a roadmap to liberation.

Ever felt stuck between rigorous spiritual discipline and free-flowing intuition? Kacie Knight, founder of Luminous Evolution, reveals a profound middle path in this illuminating conversation about evolutionary alchemy.

Details

Kacie's journey begins with a childhood vision at age eight—engulfed in white light and told she would become a spiritual teacher. This prophecy eventually manifested through her unique system integrating movement arts, intuitive practices, and structured transformation. As a former professional hula hooper and dance teacher, she discovered that flow states offer powerful gateways to spiritual connection when properly contained.

The conversation takes a revolutionary turn with Kacie' 's "Sparkle Field" concept—a refreshing alternative to traditional spiritual shielding. Rather than operating from fear-based protection that keeps your nervous system in fight-or-flight, Casey teaches raising your vibration to create a natural deflector where "no ick can stick." This high-frequency field not only prevents energetic drainage but acts as a magnetic beacon, attracting aligned connections while naturally repelling what doesn't match your essence.

One of the most liberating revelations comes when Kacie addresses perfectionism in spiritual practice. "A master has failed a hundred million times more than a beginner has even tried," she reminds us, sharing how her own fear of looking bad once blocked her progress and joy. This shift from efforting to allowing unlocks reliable access to intuitive gifts—creating what  Kacie calls a "direct hotline to the divine" that works when needed without controlling it.

Kacie also shares glimpses into her multidimensional awareness, including experiences with planetary systems where consciousness updates flow through entire populations simultaneously, reminding us of the expanded awareness awaiting our collective evolution.

As global upheaval continues,  Kacie's parting wisdom offers both comfort and empowerment—to resource ourselves through divine connection and to recognize that maintaining joy isn't spiritual bypassing but revolutionary action that amplifies our creative power in transforming the world.

The lands we walk upon hold soul-level memories. The cities we inhabit were built by many hands—some working freely, many others in chains. Our very identities are shaped by histories both acknowledged and erased. In this powerful conversation with ethnic studies scholar Maria, we explore how settler colonialism created enduring structures of inequality that continue to impact our spiritual and social reality.

Details

Maria helps us understand how colonial powers systematically removed indigenous peoples from their lands while forcing enslaved Africans to work that same land—creating hierarchies that persist today. This isn't distant history. These patterns of displacement, exploitation, and categorization continue to shape our modern experiences, from census boxes that can't contain our complex identities to immigration policies that separate families and communities.

What emerges most powerfully is how we might begin healing these deep wounds. Maria shares her own journey of reconnecting with ancestry despite missing pieces, showing how we can reclaim identity through creative means—studying local histories, preserving family stories, and finding contextual understanding when direct knowledge is unavailable. She challenges the terminology used to categorize people, explaining why labels like "Hispanic" can perpetuate colonial erasure while terms like "Latino" or "Chicano" emerged from communities claiming their own narratives.

The conversation takes a transformative turn when Maria introduces the concept of joy as resistance. "If you give up your joy, you're giving up your humanity," she explains, revealing how maintaining moments of connection and happiness becomes a radical act in the face of dehumanization. This spiritual survival strategy has helped communities endure unimaginable hardship while preserving their essential humanity.

As we navigate increasingly divisive times, Maria offers a vision of healing that begins in our immediate environments—classrooms, households, and community spaces where we can practice solidarity across differences. These "microcosms of understanding" create ripple effects that gradually shift larger patterns of division. The episode concludes with a powerful invocation from organizer Pedro Rios: "What is solidarity if not love?"

Join us for this soul-stirring conversation that honors historical truth while revealing pathways toward collective healing. Subscribe now and share this episode with anyone seeking to understand how our past shapes our present—and how we might create a more just and loving future.

******WARNING: ANIMAL ABUSE DISCUSSED******

What if you could truly understand what your beloved pet is thinking? What if the barriers between species weren't as impenetrable as we've been led to believe? In this captivating conversation with psychic-medium Melissa Engerman, we explore the profound connections possible between humans, animals, and the spiritual realm.

Details

Melissa shares her remarkable journey as an intuitive who has communicated with spirits and animals since childhood. Rather than seeing these abilities as extraordinary, she approaches them with refreshing humility: "Everyone can talk to pets. Everyone can talk to spirits. I don't have any special abilities." This perspective opens doorways for listeners to reconsider their own intuitive capabilities and relationship with the natural world.

The conversation takes fascinating turns as Melissa explains her process of animal communication—working primarily with photographs, entering a meditative state, and receiving information through mental images, physical sensations, and intuitive knowing. She shares touching stories of helping a diabetic dog understand the importance of insulin shots and mediating peace between household pets. These anecdotes aren't just heartwarming; they demonstrate practical applications of energy work that can transform relationships between pets and their humans.

Beyond technique, Melissa offers a philosophical framework that honors animals as conscious beings with emotions comparable to humans. "They feel the same way that humans feel," she explains, challenging listeners to approach animals with greater respect for their autonomy and needs. Her compassionate approach extends to humans too, as she emphasizes meeting people where they are in their understanding of animal care, recognizing that problematic behaviors often stem from lack of knowledge rather than malice.

Ready to explore new dimensions of connection with the animals in your life? Follow Melissa's work at www.ReikiByMelissa.com or join one of her community Reiki sessions at Tranquili-Chi to experience the transformative power of energy healing firsthand. Open your mind to the possibility that the beings around you—furred, feathered, or otherwise—might understand more than you think, and might just be waiting for you to understand them too.

***** WARNING:  SUICIDE AND SUBSTANCE USE DISCUSSED *****

Mary Beth Coster's spiritual journey defies conventional narratives about faith and redemption. When her husband stood at the brink of suicide, Mary Beth—a self-described "broken" person with no strong religious foundation—made a desperate plea to a God she wasn't sure existed. What followed transformed not just their marriage, but their entire approach to life. 

Details

In this deeply moving conversation, Mary Beth recounts how divine intervention prompted her to share long-held secrets with her husband, creating a foundation of radical honesty that saved their relationship. "You leveled the playing field," he told her, finding connection rather than judgment in her confessions. This pivotal moment led them to the Mormon church as authentically flawed humans presuming acceptance for who they truly were.

Perhaps most remarkable is how Mary Beth and her husband overcame years of addiction. Both struggled with opioid dependency, with Mary Beth also battling alcoholism. Through prayer, they quit "cold turkey overnight"—a transformation that three years later has left them physically, mentally, and spiritually renewed.

Throughout our conversation, Mary Beth demonstrates how maintaining personal power within religious structures creates true freedom. Whether discussing her telepathic abilities, her compassion for LGBTQ+ individuals, or her profound connection with rescued animals, she embodies the radical authenticity she preaches. "I'm tired of hiding," she declares, challenging listeners to examine whether their spiritual practices enhance or diminish their authentic selves.

For anyone who has felt too broken, too honest, or too different for traditional spiritual paths, Mary Beth's story offers liberation. Her powerful message reminds us that our most painful moments can become our greatest strengths when we stop hiding and start demanding acceptance for who we truly are. The chains that once bound her have fallen away, leaving a life "we can't wait to happen." What chains might you be ready to shed?

*** BRIEF MENTION OF SUICIDE IN EPISODE ***

What if your spiritual journey began before you were even born? For IO Kirkwood, a metaphysical practitioner with 38 years of experience, that's exactly how it started—"in utero." Descended from an Irish priestess tradition from County Cork, IO shares how she reconnected with ancestral gifts that had been refused for two generations before her.

Details

From fairy contact at age four to leading a Maiden, Mother, and Crone community today, IO's path reveals profound insights about human potential and divine connection. She challenges conventional spiritual frameworks, explaining, "I don't worship anything. What I do is co-create with these beings, these frequencies, these energies." This perspective places sovereignty at the center of spiritual practice—we aren't subordinate to higher powers but active participants in creation.

One of the most practical tools IO shares is the "cancel, cancel, cancel, delete" technique for interrupting negative thought patterns. Since "your environment reflects back to you exactly what you think," this simple mantra helps reprogram subconscious beliefs that limit our potential. She explains how our bodies don't understand negation, making positive affirmations far more effective than trying to negate negative thoughts.

IO's work empowering women through her community group addresses how patriarchal culture has diminished women as they age. She offers a fascinating perspective on feminine and masculine energies—how women naturally multiply energy while men concentrate it, and how menopause gives women access to both abilities, creating a natural spiritual completeness that ancient magical traditions sought to achieve.

Whether she's discussing sound healing, magical practices, or the importance of authenticity as "the highest frequency," IO's insights invite us to recognize our divine nature and take responsibility for our spiritual development. Join us for this extraordinary conversation that might just change how you view yourself, your thoughts, and your place in the cosmos.

Dive into the spiritual undercurrents of our complicated relationship with money as Chloe and Chione explore how dramatically different upbringings shaped their financial mindsets. 

Details

With raw vulnerability, Chloe reveals growing up in a "gypsy lifestyle" where she was taught that wealth was inherently evil and that wealthy people were corrupt targets to be exploited. Her journey from believing that education was "a giant casino game set up for failure" to recognizing her own worth unfolds with powerful honesty. See episode #5, From Struggles to Spirit, to hear Chloe's childhood story.

Meanwhile, Chione shares her contrasting experience of growing up in poverty with the primary goal of becoming educated enough to ensure she would never be poor again. Together, they untangle how these early frameworks created lasting impacts on their spiritual journeys, self-worth, and professional choices. See episode #3, From Courtrooms to Coaching, to hear how Chione's sister chose a legal career to stop the cycle of poverty in their lives.

The conversation shifts beyond personal stories to examine broader questions about spiritual authenticity in a capitalist society. How can spiritual practitioners value their services appropriately without feeling greedy? Is charging for spiritual work contradictory to spiritual growth? The hosts don't just identify these tensions—they work through them, offering listeners a path toward reconciliation between material wellness and spiritual integrity.

Perhaps the most transformative insight emerges when they challenge the scarcity mindset that often underlies our financial thinking. "I believe that we can all live in abundance financially and internally without taking from others," Chloe affirms, reframing abundance as unlimited rather than zero-sum. This perspective shift creates space for a healthier relationship with money that supports rather than hinders spiritual development.

Whether you're wrestling with financial insecurity, questioning the ethics of charging for your gifts, or seeking to break free from limiting money beliefs, this conversation offers compassionate perspective and practical wisdom for aligning your financial and spiritual lives. The episode concludes with a beautiful abundance invocation that listeners can adopt into their own practice.

Author Sherry Tuegel's journey from Quaker meetings to tantric healing offers a roadmap for anyone seeking deeper connection with their whole being. Her new book, Stripped Naked and Other Songs of Love, takes you along this tantric healing journey. 

Details

In this soul-stirring episode, author and energy worker Sherry Tuegel shares how her Quaker childhood taught her to "sit down and wait for God to talk to you" – creating a foundation for the profound spiritual experiences that would shape her life. With disarming honesty, she describes moments of divine guidance, including hearing clear messages during personal crises: "Sherry, you don't learn with your mind."

What sets Tuegel’s perspective apart is her refreshing take on spiritual duality. Rather than viewing our separateness as something to transcend, she celebrates it: "We come here for this dance of duality... I get to know you as something different from me and that, to me, is exquisite." This philosophy creates space for both spiritual unity and human individuality.

Tuegel describes her encounters with Sekhem (All Love) energy – an ancient Egyptian transmission that Patrick Ziegler received during an overnight stay in the Great Pyramid of Giza. During All Love sessions, this energy goes "wherever you're blocking love or wherever you need healing," triggering profound physical sensations, emotional releases, and spiritual openings. The hosts share their firsthand experiences with this powerful modality, describing light visions and feelings of safety that transcended typical social experiences.

Perhaps most courageously, Tuegel discusses her integration of sexuality and spirituality through tantric practices. Challenging Western reductions of tantra to merely sexual techniques, she explains that "red tantra is the little fingernail on the body of tantra" – with meditation forming the majority of the tradition. Her journey into tantric healing merged spiritual awakening with embodied pleasure, where practitioners "turned to light bodies" during a session.

Throughout our conversation, Tuegel returns to simple yet profound guidance: "Love yourself and feel deeply into your heart and let it be the leader." By grounding in bodily sensation and heart-centered awareness, we access the present moment where transformation occurs.

Ready to experience deeper self-acceptance and spiritual connection? Listen now and discover how honoring your whole being—body, heart, and spirit—creates the foundation for authentic awakening.

Have you ever followed an intuitive pull toward a place or practice that later revealed itself as part of your spiritual destiny? Ashley Brown's journey from Tumblr-browsing teenager to confident witch is a testament to trusting those subtle nudges from the universe.

Details
Ashley, founder of Nerdventures travel company, shares how her spiritual path began with secretly borrowed books and blossomed into a nature-based practice deeply connected to the land around her Florida home. Despite her Roman Catholic upbringing, Ashley found herself drawn to witchcraft's welcoming embrace, gradually developing rituals that feel authentic rather than prescribed. Her story illustrates how our spiritual practices evolve when we release the pressure to "do it right" and simply follow what resonates.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Ashley describes her visit to Delphi, Greece—a journey that unexpectedly became a profound spiritual awakening. Standing in Apollo's temple, she experienced an overwhelming sense of connection and joy, particularly remarkable given her usual aversion to the sun. Months later, an astrocartography reading revealed her sun line runs directly through Greece, suggesting this location naturally enhances her sense of self. These meaningful "coincidences" confirm what many spiritual seekers discover: sometimes our souls know our path long before our conscious minds catch up.

Whether you're a practicing witch, a curious seeker, or simply someone who loves travel with deeper meaning, Ashley's wisdom offers a refreshing perspective. Her advice? Keep it simple, follow what naturally draws you, and don't feel pressured to do everything at once.

What happens when your carefully planned European vacation starts with a mid-air flight turnaround and four days in the same clothes? A spiritual journey unlike any other.

When Chione's flight to Amsterdam was diverted back to Baltimore due to a fire in a substation of the Heathrow Airport, it was just the beginning of a series of travel mishaps that would transform her perspective forever. 

Details

Traveling through the Netherlands, Germany, and Luxembourg without luggage might sound like a nightmare, but it became the perfect backdrop for profound discoveries about humanity, history, and the power of chosen happiness.

The heart of this episode lies in unexpected encounters with three Moroccan taxi drivers who shared not just their cultural pride ("We have the best food in the world!") but profound wisdom about peaceful coexistence. "Allah tells me to live in my house over here and you live in your house over there... Why do we have to tell each other how to live?" one driver asked, offering a simple but powerful perspective on global conflicts.

Standing in the remains of 2000-year-old Roman baths built in 4 AD and marketplaces where witch trials led to the execution of countless women (research showed one out of two women were killed in certain regions), Keone confronts the duality of human existence—our capacity for remarkable creation and shocking cruelty. The persecution methods detailed from historical torture museums reveal uncomfortable truths about how societies have systematically silenced women throughout history.

Between fascinating historical revelations and philosophical taxi rides, this episode weaves together moments of vulnerability, humor, and spiritual insight. The most powerful takeaway? "Happiness is a choice" and true magic isn't found only in distant lands but in opening our eyes to see beauty everywhere—even when wearing the same socks for four days straight.

Tune in for a journey that will transform how you think about travel mishaps, cultural connection, and finding wonder in the most unexpected circumstances.

What happens when a medical researcher at Johns Hopkins receives powerful premonitions about global disasters? For Patricia Hawes, these visions led to an extraordinary awakening during Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, where a chance encounter with a spiritual teacher changed everything.

Today, Patti Hawse is a prophetic shamanic practitioner, and founder/producer of KarmaFest.  KarmaFest is an annual festival for spiritual seekers in the mid-Atlantic.  The last of 75 festivals is scheduled for June 28-29, 2025, in Havre de Grace, MD. 

This episode explores Patti's spiritual awakening, teachings of her shaman mentor (Leotha Douglas), working with energies, the beginnings of KarmaFest, and what's next for Patti and the spiritual community she's cultivated over the last 20 years.

Details

Patricia recounts the fascinating story of how she transformed from a conventional career professional into the founder of Karma Fest, a metaphysical festival she's produced for 20 years. Before this radical shift, she experienced vivid premonitions of events like 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. Following her intuition to volunteer in Louisiana, she met Leotha Douglas – the man with amber eyes who had been appearing in her dreams asking "Where are you?"

During a yoga and meditation session in a Baptist church shelter, Patricia underwent a profound chakra clearing that sparked her spiritual journey. This catalytic moment led her to create Karma Fest, a gathering that embraces diverse spiritual modalities without pushing any single belief system. Through the festival, Patricia has witnessed countless transformations – including within her own family, as her daughter's life changed dramatically after receiving a reading at an early event.

Throughout our conversation, Patricia shares insights from her extensive exploration of spiritual practices – from shamanic journeying and Reiki to channeling and energy work. She explains how these experiences shaped her understanding of intuition, healing, and the connections between physical needs and spiritual awareness. Her refreshing approach embraces learning through direct experience rather than rigid doctrine.

As she prepares for her 75th and final Karma Fest this June, Patricia discusses her future plans – finishing her memoir, reviving a screenplay about Edgar Cayce, and developing retreat concepts that unite spiritual teachers. Her parting wisdom resonates powerfully: "We're so much more powerful than we think we are... you shouldn't dim yourself out of fear."

Join us for this enlightening conversation about following intuitive guidance, embracing spiritual awakening, and creating spaces where transformation can flourish. Ready to explore your own intuitive hits?

What happens when a deeply committed Baptist pastor with five biblical degrees begins to question everything he's been taught? Sun of Thunder's remarkable spiritual journey will challenge and inspire anyone who has ever felt constrained by religious dogma or wondered if there's more to divine connection than what traditional institutions offer.

Sun of Thunder is a gifted healer, clairvoyant and fledgling hoodoo practitioner who was ordained as a preacher of Free Will Baptist (FWB) church. Over time, FWB recognized Sun of Thunder's earnestness in religious educational pursuits, including reading interpretations of the Aramaic and Greek Bibles, and named him Christian Education Director for 27 churches. Eventual pushback on these pursuits coupled with the church's decisions to not aid the community when in dire need convinced Sun to walk a spiritual path away from FWB that better aligns with his truth about God and living in harmony with the world.  

Details

Our guest takes us through the pivotal moments that transformed his spiritual path—from a near-fatal car accident where four mysterious hands pushed him back from certain death, to his rise as a respected pastor and Christian Education Director overseeing 27 churches. But beneath his successful ministry career, questions were brewing. Why weren't churches studying original biblical languages? Why did congregations refuse to help struggling neighbors during the housing crisis? And perhaps most troubling, why did spiritual experiences in nature feel more authentically divine than anything he experienced within church walls?

Sun of Thunder describes how a gentle breeze once provided profound healing during one of his darkest moments, and how this experience challenged everything he'd been taught about divine connection. "I received what I needed from nature itself and was able to go forward. So you can't tell me it's all about things in four walls," he explains. His journey eventually led him to explore ancestral veneration practices, creating space to honor those who loved him in life and continue to provide guidance beyond death.

The conversation delves into profound questions about power, control, and authentic spirituality. What happens when institutions position themselves as necessary intermediaries to God? How do we respectfully learn about diverse spiritual traditions without appropriation? And how do we find our own truth when it conflicts with established dogma?

If you've ever questioned your spiritual path or felt drawn to deeper connections with nature and ancestors, this episode offers both validation and inspiration. As Sun of Thunder reminds us, "There's a tribe for every single person. There's no such thing as truth until you decide what truth is for yourself."

Katherine Eady shares her soul-stirring true tale of growing up in a controlling and restrictive religious environment.  After some uncomfortable courtship moments and leadership scandals in the church, Katherine began to question the validity of the principles she'd been taught and the earnestness of the religious leaders dispensing those lessons.

Jordan Heustis is a learned academician, librarian, and master's degree candidate who surprisingly found her intuitive abilities while "studying" astrology.  While she is a self-proclaimed astrology pupil for life, her readings of natal charts and planetary shifts are undoubtedly divinely inspired.

In this episode, Jordan describes her spiritual journey wherein she identifies and confronts her own limiting belief systems (and lack of evidentiary proof) with grace and self-deprecation.  Join Jordan on her ephemeral trip through the stars as she finds her higher self and shares her astrological revelations with us.

Maria is an author, historian, teacher, and animal lover who grew up in the border region. She describes her traditional Catholic upbringing and cultural acceptance of indigenous healing arts which both shapes her continuing journey to connect with spirit in a way that is unique and meaningful to her.

Maria has an incredibly strong spiritual connection to all animals!  She gives charitably to animal advocacy organizations, consults websites that "out" animal cruelty and killing in movies so that she can avoid those media and also checks for animal-free testing before purchasing everyday products.  Tune in to hear this scholar's engaging story and how she chooses to make a difference in the lives of those without a voice.

What happens when the successful career you've built no longer aligns with your soul's calling?  Michele Lee's journey from prestigious trial attorney to life coach reveals how our true purpose often hides in plain sight, waiting for us to finally notice the patterns.

Details

Growing up in poverty with colored lunch cards that signaled her family's financial struggles, Michele was determined to create a different life for herself. The legal profession seemed perfect—offering both status and the chance to defend the underdog, something she'd felt drawn to since childhood. For ten years, she thrived representing clients and fighting for justice in Florida courtrooms. Then came the turning point: a case where politics and connections appeared to override fairness. 

When Michele was sanctioned over what amounted to a document title error, her faith in the system crumbled. This disillusionment launched her onto a winding path of self-discovery that included retail sales, meditation, and ultimately, coaching—a role she'd unknowingly been preparing for her entire life.

Looking back, the signs were everywhere. At every workplace, Michele found herself training colleagues and being assigned to coach newcomers. These weren't random assignments but Spirit's persistent nudges toward her authentic purpose. It took a psychic mistakenly identifying her as a teacher to help her connect these dots.

Michele's story challenges us to reconsider what "purpose" really means. Is it about prestigious titles and conventional success? Or is it about recognizing those activities that bring us deep fulfillment, even when they appear in unexpected packages? Perhaps your life purpose isn't what you think it is—but rather something you've been doing naturally all along.

Have you been overlooking similar patterns in your own life? What might Spirit be trying to tell you through the recurring themes of your journey? Join us in exploring how to recognize, embrace, and step into your soul's true calling, even when it means leaving behind the life you thought you wanted.

Reach out to Michele for career and life coaching by dropping us a text here.
