    Whispers of the Five Spirits of the Chinese Medicine part 2: the Po and the Zhi #86

    This week’s episode is part two of the whispers from the five spirits of Chinese Medicine. In part one, we covered the Shen, the spirit of the heart and fire element, the Hun, the spirit of the liver and wood element, and the Yi, the spirit of the spleen/stomach and earth element. Now, we are diving into two aspects of the soul which exist within the earthly aspects of our entire being: the Po and the Zhi. The Po is the spirit of the lungs and the metal element. The Zhi is the spirit of the kidneys and water element. They become activated when we are born from our mother’s wombs, and they return to the Earth when our body dies. Highlights: - What we can experience when these spirits are in disturbance and when they’re in harmony - Simple ways to access these aspects of your spirits and enable harmony within them - The spirit animal related to each spirit, and their lore within ancient Chinese culture Related Episodes: Whispers of the Five Spirits of Chinese Medicine p 2 Whispers of Qi and Blood Whispers of Exploring Religion, Philosophy, and Mysticism with Jonas Kilker If you’d like to work with me and/or connect: Instagram- @schoolofwhispers @__steef___ email- schoolofwhispers@gmail.com DISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.

    From Maiden to Mother with Joaly Trinidad, ceremonialist and co-founder of Root and Wisdom #85

    This week’s episode features my dear friend and returning guest, Joaly Trinidad—co-founder of Root and Wisdom and Sacred Roots Foundation. As a ceremonialist with a background in counseling, she weaves sound, breathwork, and movement to guide others on their return to their truest nature. On the show Joaly opens up about her journey into motherhood. Together we explore common themes amongst mothers: anxiety and fear around birth, how her birth plan transformed, how she worked with fear and surrendered her sense of control, mom guilt, and the sense of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Her story speaks to women everywhere. My hope is that this conversation helps mothers feel less alone and reminds them that their stories matter. Highlights: How to use a pendulum to play a witchy game Jo played as a child to predict how many children she’d haveHow plant sacraments such as San Pedro supported her daughter’s conception and birthThe paradigm shift between her indigenous midwives and a hospital team when they collaborated for the first time to support her C-section Jo’s parenting approach based on philosophies such as the Buddhist Five Remembrances Connect with Jo: www.rootandwisdom.com www.sacredrootsfoundation.com Instagram: joalytrinidad , rootandwisdom If you’d like to connect with Stephanie, you can find her here: Instagram- @schoolofwhispers @__steef___ email- schoolofwhispers@gmail.com If you'd like to learn more about working with me, feel free to reach out via email or social media.

    Whispers of the Five Spirits of the Chinese Medicine part 1: the Shen, the Hun, and the Yi

    This week's episode is part 1 of a two-part series about the 5 spirits within Chinese medicine. In this medicine, there is no separation of mind, body, spirit, and emotions in diagnosis and treatment. It's why this medicine is extremely effective in treating nearly any ailment one could experience. Working with the spirits of Chinese Medicine is another one of the many ways that we can improve our health, remember why we came here, and find fulfillment and liberation within this life. Within this episode, we dive into the Shen, also known as the spirit of the Heart and the fire element, the spirit of the Hun, aka spirit of the Liver and the wood element, and the spirit of the Spleen/Stomach and the earth element. We discuss what it feels and looks like when these spirits are in harmony or in disturbance and well as the different seasons, movements, colors, emotions, acupuncture points and characters or spirit guides associated with each spirit.

  4. Whispers of the Yoga of Relationships with Brian Yang, relationship coach #83

    Whispers of the Yoga of Relationships with Brian Yang, relationship coach #83

    If you’re on Instagram, you may have come across Brian’s work before. His grounded, relatable approach helps people deepen their relationship with themselves and others. He’s developed a system called SIBS—Somatic Work, Inner Child Work, Breathwork, and Support—which has guided his clients through what might be the most challenging spiritual path there is: the yoga of relationships. While we don’t use that term on the show, it kept coming to mind as I re-listened to Brian’s story and insights. In traditional yoga, we unite body, breath, and mind to return to the Self. In the yoga of relationships, we do the same—but with other humans. Our partners become mirrors, and pretty much every emotion becomes an invitation to see where we’re still attached, defended, or separate from love. In this way, our partners, friends, and family become our greatest teachers—not because they’re perfect, but because they reveal the parts of us that are not yet free. It’s confronting, profound work, and it’s the path Brian has committed himself to and has helped countless others within. Highlights from this episode: - His transformative initiation with Iboga and the Bwiti tradition, and how working with plant medicine refined his understanding of healing - The breakup that became a breakthrough — how his wife, Hope, leaving deepened their love, marriage, and spiritual growth - Simple, powerful tools to regulate your nervous system and support the vagus nerve when conflict or triggers arise - A mysterious recurring illness that finally shifted when Brian faced his buried shame and let go of his “hero” complex within his coaching business Connect with Brian: https://awakeningwithbrian.com/ https://www.instagram.com/awakeningwithbrian/ Related Episodes: Whispers of Letting Go of Who You Thought You Were with Hope Yang Whispers of Owning Your Light (Language) with Hope Yang Whispers of Breakups, Heartache, and the Greatest Love Story of All Time Whispers of Gabon and My Initiation with the Bwiti If you’d like to connect with Stephanie, you can find her here: Instagram- @schoolofwhispers @__steef___ email- schoolofwhispers@gmail.com DISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.

    Whispers from Conscious Fashion Stylist, Taylor Nevin #82

    This week on the show, I’m joined by conscious fashion stylist and thinker, Taylor Nevin. Taylor holds a degree in Merchandising of Apparel and Textiles with a minor in Theatrical Costume Design, as well as a master’s in Material Culture and Textile Studies. She lives and breathes fashion—and brings a sharp, grounded perspective on how we can create personal style with more integrity, creativity, and awareness of ethics and safety in the industry. For me, clothing has always been a form of self-expression. If you know me, you know I love adding that “Stephanie flair.” But after my divorce, I found myself shedding over half my wardrobe as my sense of identity shifted.This conversation with Taylor, which we hd back in March, helped me realize I get the chance to create an entirely new character through my clothes, which has become a fun way to meet new versions of myself through what I choose to wear. Highlights from this episode: - Taylor’s honest take on the fashion industry’s ties to fast fashion and modern slavery - The subconscious processes behind shopping, and how “creative theory” shows that having less can actually spark more creativity - The psychology behind personal style and how Taylor helps clients reimagine their “costume” - Practical steps we can take toward a more ethical, sustainable fashion future - How the male vs. female gaze shapes both fashion and wellness Connect with Taylor: https://www.instagram.com/thefashiondiaryofmoi/ If you’d like to connect with Stephanie, you can find her here: Instagram- @schoolofwhispers @__steef___ email- schoolofwhispers@gmail.com If you would like to schedule an acupuncture appointment with Stephanie at her current clinic, Balance Point Acupuncture, you can either visit ⁠⁠www.balancepointacu.com⁠ ⁠or call 561-615-4535 to schedule your appointment today DISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.

  6. Whispers of Sleep from a Chinese Medicine Perspective #81

    Whispers of Sleep from a Chinese Medicine Perspective #81

    Are you having a hard time falling asleep, staying asleep, experiencing crazy dreams, or not feeling well rested despite a full night’s sleep? Is it your mind, your body, or both that are keeping you awake? These are the questions we’re going to dive into on this week’s episode, which unpacks sleep from a Chinese Medicine perspective. Chinese Medicine (CM) is an ancient, indigenous system of healing that developed through the study of the body’s energy systems. I’ve personally found this lens of seeing the body to be both enlightening and clarifying—it just makes sense. It’s safe to say that all forms of medicine—whether Eastern, Western, holistic, or allopathic—agree that sleep is one of the most important functions of the human body. If you’re not sleeping, your body will struggle and eventually fail to function fully. CM is particularly effective for treating sleep disorders because its system of pattern diagnosis and treatment is entirely unique to each individual. On this episode, we dive into the roots, branches, and varied patterns of sleep disorders. Highlights from this episode: I unpack the role of the main organ-energy pathways (meridians) involved in sleep: the Heart, Liver, and Kidneys. The perspective CM has toward the soul/spirit, how it divides it into five aspects, and how they contribute to sleep quality and dreams. The unique system of the CM body clock and how it can help you get better sleep. Common herbal formulas used to treat sleep disorders.

    Whispers Beyond the Corporate Mold: Living in True Embodiment & Expression with Chrystee, teacher, coach, and singer-songwriter #80

    This week on the show, we’ve got my girl Chrystee. She teaches yoga and vocal activation teacher, singer-songwriter, a hype coach, a true girl’s girl, a space-holder for magical retreats, and a devoted student of Ayurveda. On her Instagram, you’ll catch her bridging the worlds of eastern philosophy and western science, singing her big little heart out, and throwing that a$$ back as a reminder that you don’t need to edit or hide yourself to feel true acceptance. But Chrystee wasn’t always this way. Like many women, she once conditioned herself to fit into a smaller, more traditional role—chasing the career, making the money, and then asking, now what? In this episode, she shares her journey of breaking free, leaving corporate life in the States, and fully stepping into her dharma in Guatemala. - From rock bottom to radiant freedom—her journey of turning being in deep pain and suicidal ideation into art and passion. - How leaving corporate sales unlocked her true dharma and purpose. - Embodied practices—twerking, vocal activation, and body wisdom—as tools for liberation. - Bridging health, spirituality, and indigenous traditions to create heaven on earth.

    Whispers of Gabon and My Initiation with the Bwiti #79

    This week on the show, I’m sharing my recent journey of initiation into the spiritual tradition of the Bwiti in Gabon, Africa. What is the Bwiti? Why Gabon?
Why did I choose to do this—and what did I gain from it? All of these questions (and more) are answered in this episode. For 17 days, I stayed in village and underwent three initiatory ceremonies into the Bwiti tradition. Out of respect, many details remain held in my heart, but here I’ll paint the picture: the wisdom and lessons, the trials and tribulations, and the otherworldly moments in between. Some Highlights: - Lessons in community, passion, and living fully in the moment from my time with the Gabonese people - Reflections on what is truly worthy of being held as precious in my life and spirituality - Wisdom from my big iboga initiation ceremony, and how it has inspired me to move forward in my life - A pivotal moment of choice: to descend into darkness, or to reclaim my source of radiance This episode is both a glimpse into a sacred path and an invitation to reflect on your own journey of growth, resilience, and radiance.
