    Breaking Through Medical Paradigms with Dr. Tom Cowan - EP 302

    What if you were to learn that something you are so sure about is not true? Throughout history new discoveries have threatened the status quo and those who found them were ostracized or even jailed! The ego defends beliefs fiercely. In this eye-opening episode, alternative medicine doctor Thomas Cowan shares some facts about viruses and contagion that might blow your mind. A questioner of conventionality and master of analogies, Tom makes scientific practices easy to understand and he dispels some long and deeply held ideas. He shares how medical science excludes the spiritual dimension, limiting what we truly know about our biology. We learn how they found the polio virus and delve into the question, “Do sick people make well people sick?” We also discuss the uncomfortable space of ‘not knowing’ as being the magical place where the Divine can inform and guide us to new understanding. Near the end Tom shares about his latest book, Commonsense Child Rearing. This episode will surely challenge you, but if you hang in there and loosen your grip on what you are sure is true, you might awaken to a new reality.

    The Way of the Satisfied Woman with Alanna Kaivalya - EP 301

    In this eye-opening conversation, we dive into the essence of the true feminine, unfettered by the patriarchal structures we have all been raised in. According to author and educator Dr. Alanna Kaivalya, both men and women are living in distorted roles that do not serve them. Alanna shares her revolutionary insights on the natures of the authentic feminine and masculine, the importance for women to honor their intuition and embrace the wild, untamed feminine, and the four essential keys to a satisfied life. She encourages women to seek satisfaction rather than success and to receive, create, and thrive on their own terms. We also discuss a more empowering definition of the crone/wise woman stage of life and the crucial feminine/masculine roles in parenting.

    Heal Your Inner Child with Marzcia Techau - EP 299

    A dynamic discussion with Marzcia Techau, spiritual teacher, healer and author of Your Soul, Your Life - A Guide to Healing and Self-healing. We are all walking around in some sort of wounded state. It varies by person and degree, but our wounds drive our behaviors and relationships, and consequently the world at large. That’s why healing our inner child is possibly the most important work we can do. Guest Marzcia Techau joins us to share her deep and profound knowledge on this subject. She walks us through the various stages of early life – from an embryo in our mother’s womb to our teen years - and the ways we may have disconnected from our souls at each of those stages. Learning how to release these traumas (large or small) makes room for our souls to inhabit our bodies again. Marzcia believes we can heal ourselves and she offers a hopeful path forward. She also reminds us that the soul is always patiently waiting.

    Finding Meaning in Dreams and Art with Lily Iona MacKenzie - EP 298

    Explore the wisdom that comes with aging, the profound nature of dreams, and the journey of self-discovery in this enlightening conversation with author and poet, Lily Iona MacKenzie. At age 72, Lily began a journey into the dream world. Over 10 years, she catalogued her nightly dreams, and with the help of a Jungian analyst, discovered meaning and acceptance of the inevitable processes of life that most of us fear – aging and death. In a world that obsessively values youth and beauty, Lily reminds us that aging is an opportunity to experience our own deepest mystery and that dreams invite us into that exploration. Additionally, we discuss the importance of laying down our left-brains, and reconnecting with our essence through art and play. This discussion promises to provide valuable insights for individuals at any stage of their journey.
