    The Divine Mother Spoke to Me: A Holy Saturday Vision of Mary, Grief, and Humanity

    On this episode of Cacao Conversations, Dorice shares a deeply personal and profound experience that unfolded on Holy Saturday—one that moved beyond the ordinary and into something sacred, raw, and universal.  Standing in her kitchen beside an image of the Virgin Mary, she closed her eyes… and found herself inside a living vision of the Pietà. She was holding Jesus. His body, lifeless, in her arms. And then, in an instant, the vision shifted. She was holding her own son… as he died in her arms.  Back and forth, the images moved. Jesus. Her son. Jesus. Her son. What arose was more than personal grief.  It was the grief of a mother.  Mary’s grief.  The grief carried by every mother who has ever lost a child.  And then something even greater came through. Dorice felt the presence of the Divine Mother—not only as Mary, but as Isis, wings extended, holding all suffering.  And the message came—not in words, but in knowing: “Hold the grief. Hold the compassion. This is your offering to the world.”  This experience was not just about her. It was about humanity.  The Divine Mother grieves.  She grieves the loss of children.  She grieves the wounding of the masculine.  She grieves the separation within the human soul.  And she is calling some of us to hold that grief consciously… to alchemize it into compassion… and to serve those who are suffering.  Dorice also opens the door to a deeper, often hidden perspective. Drawing on the work of Marguerite Mary Rigoglioso, she explores the idea that Mary may not have been a passive figure—but a highly trained priestess of divine conception. A woman initiated into ancient lineages… who understood how to bring forth extraordinary beings through sacred union with the Divine. A wisdom that echoes across cultures. A truth that has been buried. Silenced. Forgotten.  So we ask:  Is the Divine Feminine rising again?  Is it time to remember who Mary truly was?  And what is being asked of us now?  If you have ever touched grief… If you have felt something greater moving through your life… If you sense that humanity is being called into deeper compassion… This conversation will meet you there.  Sip.

    The Manosphere Isn’t the Problem — This Is

    This conversation matters right now. The rise of the manosphere has sparked strong opinions, heated debates, and a growing divide between men and women. But what if we’ve been looking at it all wrong?  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we’re not here to blame, shame, or take sides. We’re here to get honest. Because underneath the noise… there are real people. Men who feel lost, disconnected, and unsure of their role. Women who feel exhausted, unsupported, and done carrying it all.  And instead of meeting each other there, we’ve been taught to point fingers. This conversation goes deeper.  We explore:  what’s really driving the rise of the manosphere  where both men and women are hurting (and not saying it out loud)  how blame keeps us stuck in the same cycle  what healthy masculine and feminine energy actually look like in real life  how we begin restoring balance without losing ourselves  This isn’t about choosing a side.  It’s about remembering who we are… and how we relate to each other from that place. Because when we stop making each other wrong, everything shifts.  Honestly… this conversation feels bigger than a podcast. It feels like the beginning of a different way forward. Maybe even a documentary that finally gets it right.  Sip your cacao. Come in open. And let’s have the conversation most people are still avoiding.  Hey! Thanks for listening!

    The World Is Out of Balance — Women Are the Medicine

    The world feels chaotic right now. Division, burnout, disconnection, and systems that no longer feel aligned with the wellbeing of humanity. Many people can feel that something is out of balance — even if they can’t quite name what it is.  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we speak directly to the role women play in restoring that balance.  Across cultures and wisdom traditions, the sacred feminine has always represented intuition, creation, compassion, fierce protection of life, and deep connection to truth. When that energy is suppressed or ignored, imbalance shows up everywhere — in our relationships, our communities, and our world.  The message coming through right now is clear: women healing themselves matters more than ever.  When a woman reconnects with her intuition, reclaims her voice, and stands in her power, it shifts the field around her. Families change. Communities change. The collective changes.  This conversation explores:  • why the world feels out of balance right now  • the role of the sacred feminine in restoring harmony  • why women healing themselves is powerful collective work  • reclaiming intuition, voice, and personal power  • how women supporting women accelerates healing and transformation  • what it means to embody the sacred feminine in everyday life  This is not about women versus men. True balance happens when the masculine and feminine energies work together in harmony. For generations, the feminine has been pushed aside. The time has come to bring that wisdom forward again.  If you have felt a pull to grow, heal, or step more fully into who you are, this conversation will resonate deeply. The world may feel out of balance, but healing is possible when women remember who they are.  Listen in and join the conversation.  Hey! Thanks for listening!

    Why People Think I’m Crazy for Going to Egypt

    Everyone has an opinion about safety.  Especially when you tell them you're traveling somewhere that the media has decided is “dangerous.”  As Julietta prepares to leave for Egypt, the warnings started pouring in.  “Be careful.”  “Is it safe there?”  “I would never go.”  But it raises a deeper question… How do we actually decide if something is safe?  Is it based on reality? Or is it based on stories we’ve absorbed from the news, past experiences, and the collective fear circulating around us?  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Dorice explore the psychology and energetics of safety.  They talk about:  • Why the human brain is wired to look for danger  • How media amplifies fear and shapes perception  • The difference between intuition and conditioned anxiety  • How past experiences program our sense of safety  • Why learning to regulate your nervous system changes everything  • How to create an inner sense of safety even in uncertain environments  Safety isn’t only about external circumstances. It’s also about the relationship you have with your own awareness, intuition, and nervous system.  This conversation might challenge some assumptions — and open the door to a more empowered way of moving through the world.  If you’ve ever felt held back by fear, this episode is for you.  Hey!

    If Everything Is an Illusion… What’s Left?

    This one might stretch you.  We’re talking about the possibility that what feels solid… isn’t.  That identity, certainty, and even the physical world may be more like a projection than a permanent structure.  Before you panic — this isn’t about denying your life. It’s about loosening your grip on what you think is fixed.  And when that grip softens, something interesting happens. You stop living as if you’re trapped inside the system.  You start moving like you’re part of something much bigger.  Hey! Thanks for listening! If you liked this episode, please send us a message.

    What Do You Really Want?

    We all have an answer ready when someone asks us what we want.  More peace.  More freedom.  Better relationships.  More purpose.  More time.  More money.  Less stress.  But what if that answer isn’t actually true? What if the reason you don’t have what you say you want… is because a deeper part of you doesn’t feel safe having it?  In this episode, we’re talking about:  The difference between what you say you want and what your system is prepared to hold  How conflicting desires keep you stuck (freedom vs safety, visibility vs approval, growth vs belonging)  The nervous system’s preference for the familiar — even when the familiar hurts  What would have to change in your life if you actually got the thing you’ve been asking for  The responsibility, visibility, and grief that often come with expansion  Why goals can feel unsafe  The hidden payoff of staying the same  Subconscious loyalty to old identities  Why trying harder isn’t the answer  And how to begin aligning your desires with your capacity to receive them  Because sometimes the truth is… You don’t actually want what you say you want.  You want what feels safe.  And until those two things match — nothing changes.  Hey!
