    The Dark Night of the Soul Doesn't End - It Teaches You How to Live in the Dark

    AUTHENTICITY CALLING PODCAST The Dark Night of the Soul Doesn't End - It Teaches You How to Live in the Dark. Featuring RAE~VEN | Soul Midwife, Alchemist & Guide What happens when a soul midwife who has spent 16 years inside her own Dark Night of the Soul sits down with a physician who left medicine to heal what medicine couldn't name? You get a conversation that doesn't flinch. That doesn't rush to the resolution. That stays - right there in the tender, alchemical middle of becoming. IN THIS EPISODE: RAE~VEN has not escaped her initiation. She's learned to be present with the darkness rather than flee it. And that, she says, is the medicine itself. We go deep on soul retrieval, the practice of reclaiming the pieces of yourself left behind in trauma, and why becoming your own alchemist means learning to process pain as it happens rather than losing yourself to it. RAE~VEN opens up about her AuDHD unmasking journey, her experiences with hypomania, chronic inflammation, complex trauma, and depression - not as a list of diagnoses to fix, but as a unified story of a woman learning to stop abandoning herself. We explore Kundalini awakening, empathic boundaries for healers and helpers, and the simple practices that allow intense emotional energy to move through the body safely. And we talk about what happens to physicians, nurses, and healthcare workers who hold space for death and loss every single day, without anyone ever teaching them how to hold space for themselves. THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF: You are a healer who is also healing. You are a high-achiever who is exhausted by performing wellness. You have been holding space for everyone, except yourself. You sense that what you're moving through is not a breakdown, but an initiation. "The goal isn't to get through the darkness faster. It's to stop abandoning yourself while you're in it." — RAE~VEN CONNECT WITH RAE~VEN: heartfeltwholeself.com READY TO STOP SURVIVING YOUR AWAKENING?

    Mapping Transformation: Astrocartography, Mindset, and the Journey to Healing with Teresa Syms

    In this insightful conversation, Ralitza Spassova and Teresa Syms, both Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy (TLT) and Hypnotherapy certified practitioners, dive deep into the intersection of personal development, healing, and the transformative tools that guide us toward clarity and alignment. They begin by exploring astrocartography, the practice of mapping astrological influences across the globe, and discuss how location, energy, and alignment can shape our personal growth. Teresa, with her profession focused on in hypnotherapy, NLP, and TLT, shares how these tools have guided her own journey of self-discovery and healing. The discussion then shifts to language, mindset, and intention, highlighting the subtle yet powerful shifts in how we speak to ourselves. Teresa explains how adjusting language patterns from “but” to “and” in statements can reprogram the unconscious mind, remove limiting conditions in affirmations, and attract abundance. Teresa prefers to remove both - listen in to find out why. Teresa opens up about her journey from constant doing to conscious being, recounting a health crisis that forced her to prioritize self-care over productivity. She shares a pivotal experience of opening her “steel core,” allowing long-repressed emotions to surface, and how reframing grief and loss transformed her perspective on life. Ralitza emphasizes the societal pressures many women face to sacrifice themselves first, encouraging listeners to embrace integration, self-care, and surrender as essential components of growth. The conversation also explores therapeutic techniques for emotional mastery, including hypnotherapy, NLP, and TLT. Teresa and Ralitza discuss the challenges of guiding clients through transformation, the importance of holding space for resistance, and the profound impact of awareness and reframing on emotional healing. Listeners will leave this episode with actionable insights on mindset shifts, emotional resilience, and aligning with one’s life path, plus a deep appreciation for the power of self-care and intentional growth. Next Steps for Listeners & Guests: - Learn more about astrocartography and how it can inform your personal and professional journey - Explore language and mindset techniques to shift your subconscious programming - Celebrate the importance of self-care, emotional integration, and surrender on the path to transformation Connect with Teresa here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/teresa.syms.5 Website: https://teresasyms.com/

    Activating Authenticity, Embodied Power, and the Future of Human Potential with Michelle Cannan

    In this conversation, Ralitza and Michelle align around a shared mission: awakening authenticity as the gateway to personal and collective transformation. As they prepare for their talks at the Awakening Her Festival, they explore what it truly means to activate one’s difference - not as a liability, but as a lived superpower. Michelle articulates her 5-phase transformational process that guides individuals from fear to freedom, helping them reclaim emotional intelligence, self-trust, and their innate gifts in a world that rewards speed over presence. A central theme is the power of discomfort as an initiatory force. Rather than bypassing so-called “negative” emotions, Michelle reframes them - especially anger - as intelligent, protective signals that catalyze healing and growth. Drawing from her background in functional and Chinese medicine, she highlights the deep connection between emotions and physical organs, emphasizing that wholeness requires honoring the full emotional spectrum, not just the palatable parts. Ralitza expands the conversation into the realm of feminine energetics and surrendered leadership. She shares her philosophy of inspired, surrendered, aligned action - where life’s opportunities are not tests to pass or fail, but practices that refine presence, trust, and embodiment. By slowing down, collapsing and expanding timelines, and living in communion with divine inspiration, individuals can reduce stress, increase coherence, and access a more graceful path to impact. The dialogue concludes with a forward-looking reflection on AI and humanity’s evolution. As AI shifts toward more logical, masculine structures, both agree that human connection, community, and self-love become even more essential. Michelle shares her rapid 90-second process for transforming emotional and physical pain, while Ralitza voices a shared optimism: that through embodied awareness, authentic expression, and conscious collaboration, humanity has the potential to step into a new level of integrated, “superhuman” consciousness. This conversation is a call to slow down, feel deeper, trust more fully - and lead from truth.   Find Michelle here: https://www.instagram.com/michellecannan/?hl=en Website: https://www.michellecannan.com/

    The Sacred Art of Letting Go: Energetic Rebirth with Hilary Rose

    In this soul-baring episode of Authenticity Calling, Ralitza sits down with her longtime spirit sister, Hilary Rose - for an unedited, unfiltered conversation. What unfolds is an intimate exploration of emotional alchemy, spiritual evolution, and the sacred art of letting go. From the first breath, listeners are pulled into the raw magnetism of two women committed to living, loving, and leading with truth. Ralitza and Hilary dive into the deep waters of their personal growth journeys, weaving in Hermetic principles, emotional mastery, and somatic awareness. Their dialogue becomes a living example of balancing logic with intuition - masculine structure with feminine flow. Hilary opens up about a series of personal “energy leak” experiences - strep throat, a literal leaking roof - and shares how she reframed them as signs of energetic imbalance and invitations into deeper alignment. Ralitza mirrors this by revealing her own recent spiritual “rewiring,” describing a season that felt like a full-body rebirth. The conversation expands into the power of releasing. Ralitza’s Instagram follower purge and Hilary’s Marie Kondo - inspired decluttering become metaphors for emotional liberation. Both women speak to the beauty of completion - fitting for a numerological year 9 - and the necessity of gratitude when letting old forms, identities, and attachments fall away. Together, they unpack how intention and energy dance with each other. Hilary reflects on discovering the masculine energy she needed to cultivate internally, while Ralitza shares the importance of harmonizing intention with openness. Their exchange is both profound and practical - an energetic transmission as much as a conversation. The episode closes with a promise: their next recording will go even deeper, exploring the transformational power of inner child work and how reconnecting with our earliest selves unlocks emotional freedom. This is a conversation for anyone standing at the edge of their next becoming - ready to shed, ready to receive, and ready to rise.

    Becoming Who You Really Are: Grief, Healing & the Sacred Rebirth of Identity with Dr. Gayla Gates

    AUTHENTICITY CALLING PODCAST The Grief Nobody Names - Leaving the Life You Built to Find the One You Were Meant to Live Featuring Dr. Gayla Gates | Physician, Grief Guide & Transformation Architect What do you do when the life you worked decades to build no longer fits the person you've become? Most people stay. They shrink. They perform. Dr. Gayla Gates left. And in leaving: her 10-year medical practice, her old identity, the version of herself the world expected her to remain... she discovered that this kind of grief is real, it's valid, and nobody is talking about it honestly enough. This conversation does. IN THIS EPISODE: Dr. Gates joins Ralitza for one of the most expansive conversations the Authenticity Calling Podcast has held, moving through personal grief, ancestral healing, Human Design, and the radical act of choosing yourself when every external structure tells you to stay put. We open with the excitement of Dr. Gates launching her new brand: a movement devoted to helping people navigate life's biggest transitions with grace, compassion, and grounded support. Then we go somewhere deeper. Dr. Gates speaks openly about the losses that shaped her calling: her mother, her father, her aunt, her dog. And the Sacred Holiday Grief Initiative she created to hold space for others in the emotional intensity of the holiday season, when grief has nowhere to hide. We explore the tension every healthcare professional knows intimately: the weight of the work versus the absolute human necessity of joy, play, and self-permission. Energy hygiene. Emotional responsibility. The myth that sacrifice is the price of service. The heart of this episode is identity grief. The slow, disorienting mourning that happens when you outgrow a role that once defined you, and the courage it takes to let it go anyway. Dr. Gates names what so many high-achievers feel but cannot say: that holding on because you should is a quiet death of the soul. And we close in the body and the blueprint: Human Design, masculine and feminine energies, and what becomes possible when aligned structure meets embodied wisdom. THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF: You are grieving an identity, not just a person. You have achieved everything you were supposed to, and still feel empty. You are a healthcare provider who has been told your needs come last. You sense that the transition you're in is not a failure; it's a calling. You are ready to stop thinking about change and actually make it. "Breakthroughs don't come from thinking about it. They come from booking the session, showing up, and letting yourself be seen." — Ralitza Spassova, MD CONNECT WITH DR.

    Raising Conscious Boys & Awakening the Authentic Self with Kathryn Imabayashi

    Conscious Parenting, Emotional Healing & Soul-Led Evolution This episode centers on a shared mission: raising emotionally attuned boys while awakening deeper authenticity within ourselves. Ralitza and Kathryne begin with lighthearted livestream logistics before unfolding into a meaningful dialogue about motherhood, gender dynamics, and the healing required to create a more conscious future. Kathryne shares the origins of her work, where an experience in her son’s early years opened her eyes to the emotional world of boys and the biases shaping their experiences. A poignant moment in Japan - where an unexpected wave of fear arose - led her to reflect on how instinct, conditioning, and motherhood intertwine. This exploration deepened through past-life regression, allowing her to release old guilt and step into greater freedom. Ralitza complements these stories with her own path: transitioning from medicine into intuitive coaching, energy work, and clean Korean skincare. She speaks to the shifting landscape of masculinity, the need to cultivate emotional intelligence in boys and men, and her vision of a world where every human reconnects with the healer within. Together, they explore spirituality, intuition, and the power of slowing down enough to hear one’s inner truth. Ralitza introduces the Gene Keys as a map for moving from shadow to gift, sharing how her own key of Determination reshaped her understanding of challenge and breakthrough. The episode closes with a reflection on authenticity, sensitive leadership, and the courage to rewrite inherited narratives. Kathryne offers a glimpse into her podcast, Unlocking the Parenting Code: All About Boys, dedicated to male mental health and conscious parenting. This conversation weaves motherhood, emotional healing, and soul-led evolution into a unified call to create a more compassionate and awake world - starting with ourselves and the boys we love.   Kathryn's Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/unlocking-the-parenting-code-all-about-boys/id1781568167 Kathryn's Website: sonhoodcoaching.com

    Values Over Vanity: Building a Career and a Movement That Actually Mean Something

    AUTHENTICITY CALLING PODCAST Values Over Vanity: Building a Career and a Movement That Actually Mean Something Featuring Santana Inniss | Founder, The Glow Initiative What if coaching wasn't a luxury reserved for those who could afford it? What if your career could be built entirely on curiosity, justice, and integrity, and STILL change the world? Santana Inniss is proving both are possible. IN THIS EPISODE: Ralitza and Santana open with a candid conversation on AI safety and the real risks of tech tools in the hands of children - a thread they promise to pull further in a future episode. Then the conversation shifts to Santana's career journey: one guided not by titles or income targets, but by an unwavering commitment to personal values. She shares how aligning who you are with what you do is not idealistic; it is the most strategic move you can make. From there, we go into The Glow Initiative - GlowI - a platform redefining who gets access to transformational coaching. In its first year alone, GlowI provided over 200 hours of coaching to women who could not otherwise afford it, matching them with volunteer coaches in a model designed for sustainable impact, community reinvestment, and systemic change rather than profit. They also get honest about coaching as a profession: the energy it requires, the presence it demands, and why authentic connection will always outlast the promise of quick financial gain. THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF: You are a coach wondering how to make your work mean more. You lead or work within a nonprofit and want to see coaching done differently. You are a woman who has never had access to a coach and didn't know where to start. You believe systemic change begins with one empowered woman at a time. "Coaching can be a tool for empowerment, community reinvestment, and transformation — if we build it that way."
