    [Interview] Returning to Connection in Chaotic Times: Indigenous Wisdom on Healing, Addiction, & Inner Freedom with James Goodin

    [Interview] Returning to Connection in Chaotic Times: Indigenous Wisdom on Healing, Addiction, & Inner Freedom with James Goodin In a world that feels increasingly intense—filled with fear, stress, and uncertainty—this episode of The Activate Change Podcast is an invitation back to connection, spiritual grounding, and inner freedom. Chloe Faith Urban sits down with Arrowhawk (James Goodin), a Cherokee elder, healer, and beloved mentor, for a candid conversation on prayer, ceremony, and Indigenous wisdom—and what it means to live in alignment with the sacred trinity of mind, body, and spirit. Arrowhawk shares how disconnection from the Earth, the divine, and each other can fuel isolation and chaos, and how ceremony as medicine can be woven into daily life—sometimes as simply as blessing your coffee with intention. You’ll also hear powerful teachings on the sweat lodge ceremony as a path of healing and transformation, particularly for those navigating addiction recovery, burnout, grief, trauma, or a loss of meaning. Recorded in late fall, this conversation feels especially timely: a reminder that worthiness isn’t earned, and that freedom is an inner choice, even when the outer world feels dominated by fear and control. Note: There’s a brief audio shift mid-episode due to a recording interruption. We kept it in to preserve the integrity, wisdom, and healing medicine of the conversation. In This Episode We Explore: The sacred trinity of mind–body–spirit and why “everything comes in threes”How disconnection fuels isolation, anxiety, and social chaosDaily rituals and ceremony as tools for grounding, energy clearing, and resilienceThe sweat lodge as a ceremony for healing, transformation, and reconnecting to the selfHealing the healers: why helpers, therapists, and practitioners need support and renewalJoy, humor, and laughter as medicine in hard timesTeachings on freedom, domination, and choice from an Indigenous perspectiveFeather medicine and how different feathers support energetic healingWhy “unworthiness” is an illusion—and how to reclaim inherent worthAddiction and ceremony: finding your way back to yourself—“the answer is in the mirror.”Resources & Links For More About Arrowhawk and The Red Road to Wellness Center: https://www.facebook.com/groups/478758235503796/ ------------------------ Our Free Gift: 🎁 Claim The Ultimate Self Care Bundle to Clear Your Energy, Boost Your Vitality & Feed Your Soul → Download here (lachiaramethod.com/selfcare) LaChiara Method Offerings: Radically YOU – A 5-week course designed to help you shed people-pleasing, over-giving, and the “shoulds” so you can be your real self.

    From Self-Sabotage to Soul Purpose - Healing Session

    From Self-Sabotage to Soul Purpose | Healing the Inner Saboteur & the Witch Wound In this episode of The Activate Change Podcast, Gabrielli guides a live healing session with Paula, a lifelong helper who feels called to step into her soul purpose — but finds herself blocked by self-sabotage, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. Together, they explore how the inner saboteur often forms as a survival response to early childhood conditioning, ancestral trauma, and even past-life memories connected to the witch wound. As Paula traces the instinct to stay small and quiet, deeper fears around visibility, power, and safety begin to surface. Through somatic awareness, energy healing, and intuitive guidance, Paula starts to release the belief that her gifts are dangerous. What unfolds is a profound moment of healing and remembrance — reclaiming her voice, self-trust, and the knowing that her intuition and light are not something to hide, but something to live from. This episode is for anyone navigating self-doubt, imposter syndrome, fear of being seen, trauma healing, spiritual awakening, or the desire to live in alignment with their true purpose. ✨ Inside this episode: • How self-sabotage and the inner saboteur are often rooted in trauma, not failure• Healing imposter syndrome through nervous system regulation and embodiment• Understanding the witch wound and fear of visibility in spiritual and intuitive people• How childhood messages and past-life trauma shape self-worth and confidence• Reclaiming intuition, voice, and soul purpose through mind-body healing• A reminder that your light is not dangerous — it’s essential ------------------------------------------------ 🎁 Claim your FREE GIFT The Ultimate Self Care Bundle to Clear Your Energy, Boost Your Vitality & Feed Your Soul Grab your free gift here: https://lachiaramethod.com/podcast-bundle Radically YOU is our 5-week course designed to help you reconnect with your authentic self — beyond people-pleasing, over-giving, and self-abandonment.

    Ep 36 — Awakening the Soul: Rebirth, Resilience, and Our Collective Evolution with Galit Raiman and Gabrielli LaChiara In this second conversation with master astrologer Galit Raiman, Gabrielli LaChiara joins the conversation. It’s a deep and expansive conversation about the Soul — what it is, where it comes from, and how it guides us through cycles of death, rebirth, and awakening. Together, they explore the connection between astrology, consciousness, and healing — from karmic soul families to the myth of “everything happens for a reason.” They unpack the tension between fate and free will, the acceleration of human evolution, and the vital role of community, empathy, and faith in times of global upheaval. This episode touches on: How our soul’s origin and essence shape our purpose in this lifetimeThe dance between destiny and choice — and how awareness expands our freedomWhy so many of us are experiencing rebirth within the same bodyThe Age of Aquarius and what it means for consciousness, healing, and humanityThe importance of faith, community, and staying resourced as we navigate global changeIt’s a potent, heart-opening reminder that we came here for these times — and that our sensitivity, empathy, and awareness are not burdens, but gifts for the collective awakening.

  4. I'm Worthy. I Am Wise.

    I'm Worthy. I Am Wise.

    I'm Worthy. I Am Wise. In this episode of The Activate Change Podcast, Gabrielli has a session with Shifra, a mother and grandmother who has spent years over-giving, caregiving, and putting everyone else’s needs before her own. Together, they explore what happens when burnout, grief, and exhaustion finally bring life to a standstill — forcing you to slow down, listen to your body, and turn your care inward. As Shifra moves through the emotional weight of holding so much for so long, deeper layers of self-worth, trauma, and nervous system overwhelm begin to surface. Through this healing session, she starts to reconnect with her body’s wisdom and reclaim something she didn’t even realize she had lost: her inherent worth. What unfolds is a tender and powerful moment of remembrance — a return to self-trust, inner wisdom, and the truth that worth is not earned through sacrifice, productivity, or self-abandonment. It is something she has always carried. This episode is for anyone navigating burnout, overgiving, people-pleasing, grief, chronic exhaustion, or the deep call to rest and heal. ✨ Inside this episode: • What happens when burnout forces you to stop — and how to listen when your body says “no more” • How nervous system regulation supports healing from chronic overgiving and emotional exhaustion • The turning point where survival mode gives way to rest, softness, and self-trust • How dismantling the life you’ve outgrown can feel heartbreaking — and deeply liberating • A powerful reminder that self-worth isn’t something you earn — it’s something you already are ------------------------------------------------ 🎁 Claim your FREE GIFT The Ultimate Self Care Bundle to Clear Your Energy, Boost Your Vitality & Feed Your Soul Grab your FREE Gift here: https://lachiaramethod.com/podcast-bundle Radically YOU is our 5-week course designed to help you reconnect with your authentic self — beyond people-pleasing, over-giving, and self-abandonment.

    Astrology, Awakening and the Bridge to a New Paradigm with Galit Raiman In this inspiring conversation, Chloë Faith Urban sits down with evolutionary astrologer Galit Raiman to explore what it means to live through one of the most pivotal times in human history. Galit describes our current moment as the bridge—the passage from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius. Together, they unpack what this transition means for our souls, our communities, and our collective evolution. Along the way, they explore: Why the chaos we’re living through is part of a larger astrological shiftHow fear wires us into “us vs. them” thinking—and how to rewire itWhy stepping out of the victim story doesn’t erase what happened, but frees your powerThe truth that your access to Source is direct—no guru requiredWhy community is the medicine of this era, and how we’re called to build it nowGalit’s unique blend of astrology, psychology, and soul wisdom brings clarity to the confusion of these times. Whether you’re astrology-curious or a longtime student of the stars, you’ll leave this episode with fresh insight, practical tools, and renewed hope. ✨ Listen now to step onto the bridge and discover the new paradigm that’s emerging.

    What If Your Difference Is the Medicine? Berwick Mahdi Davenport on Inner and Outer Change

    Some conversations don’t just offer insight—they offer invitation. To pause. To reflect. To come home to yourself in a new way. This is one of those conversations. In this episode of The Activate Change Podcast, I (Chloë) sit down with Berwick Mahdi Davenport—also known as Brother M—human development strategist, coach of coaches, father, and creator of the Ego Reduction Formula. Mahdi brings 30+ years of wisdom into this space, and I can honestly say: I’ve never heard someone speak about inner work, difference, and collective healing quite like this. From the very first question—“Who was little Mahdi?”—we were in it. Tender. Honest. Transformational. We explore:✨ The deep inner child work that cracked Mahdi open✨ Why the shift from fighting racism to building human solidarity changed everything✨ A powerful story about his daughter that reshaped how he leads, listens, and loves✨ What it really means to be 100% on your own side✨ Why embracing your difference might just be your greatest act of service This episode is an invitation to stop performing wholeness—and start living it. Not by being perfect, but by being radically honest with yourself and fiercely committed to your own becoming. You may laugh. You may cry. You may find yourself breathing a little deeper by the end. Be sure to check out Mahdi’s upcoming book The War Against Different and his coaching program, Different in 90 Days. Here’s a little bit more about Brother M: Berwick Mahdi Davenport, known as “Brother M,” is a human development strategist and facilitator with over 30 years of experience.
