Awake the Tribe Podcast Rhoda Todoran

I’ve known Lisa for 25 years (!!!) and so it was an incredible talk as we revisited some old memories, personal moments and talked about the book she is currently writing called, One with Horses. Having been through so many transformative times together in Australia and Los Angeles, it was fulfilling for me to provide a platform to share Lisa’s passion for horses, animals and nature in general.







We talked about co-creating heaven on earth as we envision it and even having a taste of it years ago together in a 100 acre paddock. Lisa shared many wisdoms that she’s learned from working with horses as well as wonderful stories I had never heard about like her big awakening moment which occurred through the lens of a camera… a “modern day” external third eye, if you will.







I can’t fully express through words how special it is for me to share this little chat with an old friend and also my appreciation for Lisa as a beautiful human being as we speak into existence what it means to be sovereign, happy and free. In this episode, Lisa mentioned how horses have literally transported us for over a millennium and how they are now spiritually transporting us back to ourselves and to a more congruent relationship to nature. I can’t help but connect how Lisa herself was instrumental in transporting me to Australia (so to speak) where I was able to come back to myself when my own awakening unfolded on a massive scale so many years ago.







Lisa Podosin has 45 years of experience with horses as a competitor, professional rider, trainer, riding instructor and horse guardian. What began as curiosity about how to connect with horses in a compassionate way evolved into a journey of personal growth and transformation. Her fascination with connecting with horses using less and less gear led her to work with many top trainers such as Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling, John Chatterton and Martin Contreras Carrizosa. Lisa currently works as an interspecies relationship coach supporting people to transform their current beliefs and create the life of their highest passion through their relationship with horses.

What a passionate, wildly interesting and heart centered conversation this was! If you have heard the other episodes, you’ll know that I gush over my guests but this one was extra gushy and squishy (pun intended as you will later understand). As soon as we stopped recording, we were saying “I love you” and that folx, is a perfect example of healed maidens walking and talking their wise woman mothers flow, just vibing in love and unity simply for the pleasure of it.







I’ve learned so much from Lydia and I’m sure you will too. We discussed how we are all sexual healers, the motherhood frequency, her downright fascinating past and you will undoubtedly feel the full bloom of her realness oozing with each beautifully woven word… a true poet, of life, of love, of sex. There were mentions of walking through a portal to connect to her now husband and how a spider talked to her during a rape. Lydia reminds me why I love the night and all it holds, why it’s good to fall in love simply because you are made of it and when you fully accept your humanity, you are so full of love that you can’t help but gush oh so sweetly on to others.







Lydia Rose is currently an evolving mama and human in touch with spirit work, sex work, and belonging to the Eros of the earth. She’s passionate about health and transforming into the ancestral + infinite body. She is the creator of wild + vibrant sexual ecology, is an erotic healing arts practitioner and radical sex + motherhood coach. A lifelong explorer of the erotic healing arts, she offers transformative sessions for potency, love, and release in support of her vision of a healed sexual earth.

In this powerful episode, I talk with Rebecca Cappelli, animal rights activist and filmaker of Let Us Be Heroes (see the full documentary here), about the power of being “spirituality in action.” Rebecca reminds me of the term “Spiritual Warrior” as she embodies living her truth and speaking for the those who are unable to speak for themselves. Here are some of the topics we touched upon:







* Parenthood as a catalyst for becoming Vegan* Change is about becoming who you truly are.* Deconstructing the indoctrination into a violent society.* The new age fallacy and mistake to which there is no good and bad and the idea of not judging anything.* Reiki as a powerful healing modality (Rebecca is a Reiki Master herself!)







Rebecca Capelli decided to quit a successful career to work in non-profit. Now a sought after public speaker and award-winning filmmaker, her work aims to assist a mass consciousness awakening to alleviate human and non-human suffering. 







​A French citizen and a mandarin speaking professional, Rebecca has lived in Asia for over 15 years including Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and now Singapore. She works with various non-profit organizations with the project Let us be Heroes to empower people to become a line of defense for their health, the planet and the animals.

In this episode, Shanila Sattar, an integrative wellness leader, a sound healer, breathwork coach, women’s researcher, and national speaker talks to us about what it means to be the scientist of your own life – a phrase that I brought up and Shanila’s life mirrors.

In this episode, Avi Sherbill and I talked about the constant work that is necessary to create “radical shifts, inch by inch.”







We discussed conscious parenting, childhood programming, inner child reparenting, favorite books, intuition, manifesting, modalities, practices and the payoffs of doing the work like more freedom from the past.  Having grown up in an abusive and narcissistic home environment, Avi found himself addicted to drugs and living on the streets for a time.  As a new dad with a loving partner and providing sound and breath healing for others, it’s truly remarkable the life that Avi has created and is continually and divinely co-creating.







Some books he recommends which were mentioned in the podcast interview are: “Intimacy” by Osho and “Life in the World to Come” by Abraham Abulafia.







Avi Sherbill is the founder of SoundRx and a certified sound therapist with a background in sound production and work in TV and film music composition. He has an education in Music Composition from the Art Institute of Chicago.







Having grown up in the world of orthodox jewry, Avi left that life to pursue a career in music but became disconnected from purpose and self. Upon rediscovering a love of the pure vibrational frequency of sound and power of breath, Avi began creating unique sound experiences to help others tune into their higher essence. He now regularly guides soundbaths and breathworks for groups and private clients across the country and has been featured in PBS and Harper’s Bazaar.







Avi’s weekly virtual soundbaths which are a little bit different from what you might be used to seeing. They focus on real (and sometimes confronting) inner wounds like trauma, ptsd, child-parent wound, and codependency.







As a life transformational coach he does 1:1 work with people to do deep healing through a program called YOU100, which helps them detox from their old behaviors and thought patterns that no longer serve them.







He is also currently creating a masterclass series of detoxes focusing on relationships, breakups, and traumas for people to work on in their own time.

To launch the podcast, I’m starting with my own story which seems to be the hardest one to tell. I go into my childhood programming and go into how we manifest things in our life, regardless of whether we are conscious of it or not.
