You're spiritually intelligent, self-aware, resilient, discerning, have refined taste, and a massive capacity for depth. Yet being this kind of woman can be profoundly lonely & wildly crazy making - because the world wasn't built for you and most spaces don't know what to do with you.  You're too smart for simple answers, too spiritual to dismiss the unseen, too disillusioned to go back to what didn't work, and too self-aware to pretend you have it figured out. But you have figured one thing out....Your dignity is non-negotiable. This podcast is for the woman who is rebuilding her dignity, strengthening it, & living from it. How do we strengthen our dignity in a world that seems bent on destroying it, profiting off the lack of it, & distorting it? This show is hosted by Dilshad Mehta - intuitive coach with over a decade of experience, and one of the only Indian and Zoroastrian (Parsi) women podcasting anywhere in the world.  We cover the territory most spirituality podcasts avoid...which, as in turns out, are the topics that expand our dignity.  ▪️The Feminine & Moving Away from Patriarchy ▪️Developing Strong Intuition ▪️ Addressing Self-Abandonment ▪️ Naming the Evil in the World ▪️ Spiritual Meaning & Mysticism of the Rose ▪️ Love as a Spiritual Practice & Cultivating More Love in Our Lives ▪️ Journaling Rituals for Clarity ▪️ Deep Embodiment of Dignity Through Body Based Rituals All of this leads us to a Delicious kind of Dignity - a sense of self that we enjoy in ourselves. Every episode offers practical guidance, ritual, and reflection to move you from knowing to living - with clarity, stability, and dignity. ▼ New episodes every 2 weeks on Sunday morning.

    The Pattern of Self-Abandonment Fu*kery 2: Sensitives, Empaths, Introjection, & Just World Hypothesis

    This is the FIRST TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY (to my knowledge) that anyone has connected all 7 concepts -  projective identification, introjection, empowered women, empaths/sensitives, just world hypothesis, nazar/curses/evil eye, & egregores. This is part 2 of a SACRED THESIS where we tackle another 3  concepts that make up the pattern of self-abandonment (especially in women) - Empaths, Introjection, & Just World Hypothesis. This is not about fixing yourself. It's about finally seeing the pattern clearly enough to stop blaming yourself for it. Send me a text or voicemail! I really would love to know what you think, what questions you have, & any stories to share  Inside this session: How introjection works — and why you may have been swallowing other people's beliefs about you whole since childhoodWhat being an empath actually means beyond the oversimplified version you've been sold, and how it feeds self-abandonmentWhy the just world fallacy keeps empowered women over-responsible, bitter, or bothThe journaling prompts that will show you exactly where your self-abandonment is currently playing out References: Episode 46: Rose Mysticism 4 - Planting the Internal Eternal MotherEpisode 9: True Feedback or Judgmental Projection?

  2. The Pattern of Self-Abandonment Fu*kery 1: Empowered Women & Projective Identification

    Jun 7

    The Pattern of Self-Abandonment Fu*kery 1: Empowered Women & Projective Identification

    This is the FIRST TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY (to my knowledge) that anyone has connected all 7 concepts -  projective identification, introjection, empowered women, empaths/sensitives, just world hypothesis, nazar/curses/evil eye, & egregores. This is part 1 of a SACRED THESIS & one of the syntheses of my entire life's work & experience. In this one we tackle 2 of the many concepts that make up the pattern of self-abandonment - projective identification & women (especially empowered women). Send me a text or voicemail! I really would love to know what you think of this episode/series (your number is private & I cannot see it).  You've felt it: someone accuses you of being aggressive, difficult, selfish, a narcissist. Over time, you start behaving the exact way they accused you of behaving — even though that was never who you were. You feel like you're under a spell. What's happening is projective identification, and if you're an empowered woman, this is your constant reality. I've spent over a decade watching this pattern destroy women who are supposed to be the strongest among us. Nobody's naming what's actually happening psychologically and spiritually when a woman gets projected upon. This is the episode I wish someone had given me at 5, 15, and 25. Inside this session: Why we need to recognize the pattern of why we chronically self-abandon & what both pop psychology & new age culture get wrongWhat projective identification actually is — how it differs from regular projection and why that distinction changes how you understand yourselfHow empowered women become containers for the collective shadow of everyone around them, leading to self-abandonment without realizing itA detailed & thorough reflection ritual about how to begin recognizing the pattern Reference Episodes: Episode 36: Empowered Women, Quiet Battles: Truths No One Talks AboutEpisode 9: True Feedback or Judgmental Projection? Is It Me or Is It Them?

    Rose Mysticism 4 - Planting the Internal Eternal Mother

    This fourth session of the Rose Podclass explores the spiritual meaning of the rose through the mother (the oldest archetype) as the source of all true strength. This is me wishing you happy Mother's Day in the most meta sense possible. Because the inner mother is the foundation everything else is built on.  Inside this session: The episode opens with a channeled rose contemplationThe uncorrupted and corrupted qualities of the mother archetype — and how to recognize both in yourselfThe mother wound across four levels: personal, cultural, spiritual, and planetary (based on Bethany Webster's framework)A powerful three-part ritual to identify your current inner mother, define the one you need, and begin planting her within youThe episode closes with a final blessing from the rose.▼ 20:40 Mark Correction: I said "headless figure".  I meant "disembodied head". ▼ Reference Episodes: Episode 27 - Rose Mysticism 3: Unlocking the Power of the Prostitute ArchetypeEpisode 21 - Rose Mysticism 2 - Reclaiming Your Sensual DivinityEpisode 14 - Rose Mysticism 1 – Practicing Heaven on Earth ▼ 🌹 Join the Weekly Delicious Dignity Missives - every week receive exclusive, bite-sized, actionable intuitive insights straight to your inbox. ▼ 🌹 Questions?

    Accidentally On Purpose: Building Beloved Local Businesses with Makenzie Sulfaro

    I learned so much from this episode! Makenzie Sulfaro had a couch, a draining job, a best friend who said "just do it" &.....she listened. This episode is for women who are sitting on a dream they keep waiting to perfect before they start. From child psychiatry to being a multiple fitness studio owner, she did all of this during covid with a newborn. Makenzie now owns three Pilates studios and a gym in Arizona, and almost none of it was planned. Makenzie embodies 'going with the flow' in a way that's rare, and I love how this episode mirrors that! We start off talking about intentional bathroom amenities and then we ended with her gushing about her husband. Ha! Inside this session: On Right Standards: Why "good enough" is the wrong standard & what standards to aim for instead when starting a local business from scratch (excellent wisdom for recovering perfectionists!)On Integrity & Compromise: How to know when you're forcing something vs when it's actually meant to be. Brick and mortar business tips for women nobody talks about. On Business Strategies & Being Prolific: What it takes to build a physical business with no experience & no grand master plan - including boundaries with customers and putting community firstOn AI & Online Businesses: The role tech currently plays and will play in the future in Makenzie's businessesOn Having a Kind (& Hot) Husband: After being twice divorced, Makenzie describes a real & raw unfolding of her finding her partner who builds her up rather than makes her feel small▼ Sultivate WebsiteMakenzie's InstagramSultivate Studio Instagram▼ Go Deeper in Your Listening: Episode 14 - Rose Mysticism 1 – Practicing Heaven on EarthEpisode 18 - A Unique Branding Strategy That Feels Good, Unlocks Your Strengths, & Expands Your DignityEpisode 9 - True Feedback or Judgmental Projection?

    Do You Feel Like You Have to Earn Love?

    It took a virtual pet app to show me how exhausted I was from trying to deserve love. This episode is for the high-achieving woman who has been dangling the carrot in front of her own face for too long. I share how rewarding yourself for just existing (before the task, before the finish line) can dissolve the internal critic and restore your motivation from the inside out. Inside this session: Maslow's hierarchy of needs — and the one rung most high-achieving women skip entirely on their way to the topHow five dysfunctional forces (hustle culture, the internal critical mother, scarcity mindset, patriarchy, & ancestral generational trauma) keep women locked in the cycle of trying to deserve loveA simple, private ritual to identify where you've been earning love and how to gently pull back▼ Reference Episodes:  Episode 38 — What I'm Loving Right Now: Real Self-Care, Money, and Dignity ▼ Reference App - Finch App. Friend code - CNLPF24ZLY ▼ 🌹 Join the Weekly Delicious Dignity Missives - every week receive exclusive, bite-sized, actionable intuitive insights straight to your inbox. ▼ 🌹 Questions?

    The Art of Being Visible: Slowly, gently, peacefully healing the visibility wound

    We've done the vision boards, lit the candles, pulled the cards — and still never showed up to the table to play. This episode is for those who are ready to step into the dignity of being seen, while knowing that you don't owe anyone your presence. The visibility wound is one of the most quietly devastating & self-sabotaging things I witness. Inside this session: 1.Why comfort is not your intuition or an indication of being right — it's just habit, and how mistaking the two keeps you invisible 2. 6 real fears driving the visibility wound — from fear of judgment and being mis-associated to the pain of not being loved as you truly are 3. A gentle, gradual, practical progression for building visibility across body, mind, spirit, and emotions — at your own pace | Reference Episodes: Episode 35 - When You Can't Believe In Your Own Dreams ▼ 🌹 Join the Weekly Delicious Dignity Missives - every week receive exclusive, bite-sized, actionable intuitive insights straight to your inbox. ▼ 🌹 Questions?

    Reclaiming Your Claws - What Evil Really Is (And Isn't)

    With everything going on with the Epstein files and our recent awareness of Deepak Chopra, I thought it was time to do an episode on evil. For too long, evil has been the domain of religion or trauma psychology. Today we're reclaiming it as common sense. Today we're gonna stop spiritually bypassing. Today we're going to stand up against those who tell us to love it or show it compassion or understand it away. This episode is not about depressing you. There's enough of that in the world. Instead, this episode is about giving you your claws and fangs back - perfectly natural instruments of your dignity. Here's what you can expect from this episode: 1. How spiritual bypassing has affected our basic common sense when recognizing manipulation and control 2. Why the feminine is especially competent to handle evil  3. Defining evil in no uncertain terms and why being good feeds evil 4. Knowing what evil is not (trauma or ignorance) 5. The primary tool and method of evil and identifying ‘predatory’ behavior 6.

    What to Do When Your Intuition Was Wrong

    If your intuition has ever led you astray, you know the feeling. It's not just disappointment. It feels like betrayal, like God let you down, like you can't trust the universe anymore. If you've ever thought my intuition was wrong and felt yourself spiral, this episode is for you. I've been there, and after a decade of intuitive work, I can tell you that when your intuition feels wrong, it's almost never the whole story. We go over some real life stories as examples of how intuition goes wrong and why it happens. Inside this session: Why reframing intuition as a skill rather than a mystical gift changes everything about how you recover from a mistakeWhat realistic intuitive accuracy actually looks like at every stage of practice, and why 70% is the goal not 100%A 7 areas of analysis to diagnose exactly what went wrong so you can assess, move on, and stop equating mistakes with spiritual failureAreas we cover in the framework: wrong questions, mistaking anxiety for intuition, misreading signs, your specific speciality of intuitive skill, and energy cleansing work Other Episodes in the Intuition Series.
