    The Transcendence Trap: Embodiment, Non-Duality & the Divine Feminine with Cynthia Abulafia

    In today’s episode of the Perfectly Imperfect Spiritual Podcast, I’m joined by Cynthia Abulafia to explore embodiment, non-duality, kundalini awakening, and the return of the divine feminine in modern spirituality. We speak about the transcendence trap, spiritual bypassing, awakening versus integration, and why true spiritual growth requires grounding in the body, relationships, and real life. Cynthia challenges what she calls the “transcendence bias” of patriarchal spirituality, the tendency to rise above the body, emotions, and earthly experience in the name of enlightenment. Instead, we explore what it means to integrate expanded states into daily life with maturity, responsibility, and embodied awareness. This conversation covers: • Embodiment as the foundation of spiritual practice • Non-duality without bypassing the human experience • Kundalini awakening and spiritual emergence • The divine feminine beyond aesthetic spirituality • Spiritual bypassing and emotional avoidance • Ego, language, and spiritual maturity • Integrating awakening into relationships and real-world living If you are interested in embodiment, conscious relationships, grounded spirituality, or the integration of mystical experience into everyday life, this episode will resonate deeply Cynthia Abulafia Cynthia Abulafia is an author, educator, and yoga therapist committed to giving language to the divine feminine and restoring embodiment as the heart of spiritual practice. A longtime student and teacher of non-duality, she guides people through kundalini awakenings and spiritual emergence with grounded tools rooted in breath, embodiment, and sacred traditions. Her debut book, Embodying the Goddess, was released in January 2026.

    Sensitivity, Not Fragility: Grounding Spiritual Sensitivity Without Overwhelm

    In today’s episode of the Perfectly Imperfect Spiritual Podcast, I explore why sensitivity is so often mistaken for fragility, and what’s actually happening when a sensitive system feels overwhelmed. Sensitivity is not weakness. It’s responsiveness. It’s awareness. It’s a system that notices. But when sensitivity isn’t supported with grounding, boundaries, nervous system regulation, and energetic hygiene, it can start to feel like you’re “too much”, too emotional, or unable to cope. That isn’t fragility. It’s overload. This episode is for anyone who feels deeply, picks up on subtle shifts, or experiences intuitive, empathic, or mediumistic awareness and wants to stay open without becoming energetically exposed. I talk about the difference between innate sensitivity and trauma responses, why integration matters more than the wound, and how sensitivity becomes discernment and leadership when it’s met with care. In this episode, I explore: • Sensitivity as responsiveness, not instability • Why not all sensitivity comes from trauma • Overwhelm as overload, not fragility • Grounding and nervous system steadiness for sensitive people • Energetic hygiene, protection, and the right to choose what you allow in • Integration as the foundation of mature spiritual awareness • A closing reflection to help you sense what’s out of balance: body, emotions, mind, or energy For readings, courses and soul offerings → www.martathemedium.com Follow me on Instagram → @martathemedium If this episode supported you, please follow, rate, and share so more people can find these conversations.

    Signs from my Son | Carla Kaufman Sloan on Grief, Afterlife, and Becoming a Medium

    For readings, courses and soul offerings → www.martathemedium.com Follow me on Instagram → @martathemedium Guest: Carla Kaufman Sloan Host: Marta the Medium (@martathemedium) About the episode In today’s episode of the Perfectly Imperfect Spiritual Podcast, I’m joined by Carla Kaufman Sloan. Carla never expected to become a medium. After the sudden passing of her seven year old son, Calder, she began receiving signs so clear and so persistent that she could no longer ignore them. What began as unimaginable grief slowly unfolded into an ongoing relationship with her son, one that led her into intuition, trust, and an entirely new way of living. Today, Carla is a practising medium who helps others connect with their loved ones in spirit. Her path was not easy or expected. It was built moment by moment through surrender, presence, and a deep remembering that separation is an illusion. In this episode, we explore: • Signs from loved ones in spirit, and how they can show up in everyday life. • Grief, guilt, and the ‘what if’ loop, and how to soften self blame. • How intuition and self trust rebuild after loss. • The difference between seeking proof and living in relationship with spirit. • Why love does not end, and how connection can remain steady and personal. About Carla Carla’s life before Calder’s death included being an Emmy winning TV writer and producer with over 30 years of experience creating network content, and the co founder of 2C Creative, a thriving media production company in Miami that works with major networks including HBO, A and E, and FOX. After the loss of her son, Carla and her husband Chris launched Caleb and Calder Sloan’s Awesome Foundation to support families in need. Calder’s enduring legacy of kindness inspired a viral campaign featured on Times Square Jumbotrons and shows like Good Morning America and The Kelly Clarkson Show. Later, hundreds of thousands of people read a small piece of Carla’s story in Laura Lynne Jackson’s bestseller, ‘Signs’, which led to an outpouring of heartfelt letters from readers asking to learn more. Carla’s memoir, ‘Everywhere: How I Overcame Unbearable Grief and Learned to Live Again by Tapping into the Other Side’, chronicles how Calder kept her from succumbing to grief by dropping breadcrumbs that led her out of the darkness and onto her true path. Carla went from being a skeptic, even going undercover to a mediumship conference to expose fraud, to becoming a medium herself.

    Magnetic Self-Love: Stop Abandoning Yourself to Be Chosen

    For readings, courses and soul offerings → www.martathemedium.com Follow me on Instagram → @martathemedium Host: Marta the Medium (@martathemedium) About the episode In today’s episode of the Perfectly Imperfect Spiritual Podcast, I’m speaking about Magnetic Self-Love. Not the performative kind. Not confidence you force. Not affirmations over a dysregulated nervous system. Magnetic self love is the moment you stop abandoning yourself to be chosen and start building a relationship with yourself that is honest, steady, and sustainable. This episode is for the sensitive person who has done the inner work, understands the patterns, and still finds themselves slipping into over giving, over explaining, or self betrayal. We explore how magnetism is often a byproduct of self respect, follow through, and nervous system safety. The kind of love that becomes a standard, not a mood. In this episode, we explore What magnetic self love actually is, and what it is not. Why self love is not performance, positivity, or being unbothered. Where you leak energy through over giving, over functioning, or self abandonment. The difference between soothing self love and strengthening self love. Confidence as follow through, not hype. How nervous system safety changes your standards, choices, and relationships. A simple closing practice to come back to yourself.
