    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!

    Are You Addicted to Certainty? - Why We Cling to Being Right

    Are you addicted to certainty?  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta Wenzel and Dorice explore why we cling to being right — and what that attachment is doing to our nervous system, our relationships, and our growth.  We say we want truth.  But what we often want is certainty. And certainty feels safe.  But here’s the deeper question: Is certainty even real?  In this conversation, we unpack:  • Why humans are wired to seek certainty  • How identity gets fused with beliefs  • What happens in the body when our opinions are challenged  • The nervous system’s role in defending “being right”  • Why curiosity creates expansion, flexibility, and connection  In a world obsessed with being right, choosing curiosity is powerful. When we loosen our grip on certainty, we create space for growth, emotional regulation, and deeper connection.  If you’ve ever felt defensive, triggered, or unsettled when someone disagrees with you — this episode is for you.  Sip.

    All Beliefs Are Limiting

    In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Dorice explore the hidden power of limiting beliefs — and why it’s not just a few beliefs holding you back… it might be all of them.  We’re often taught to identify and release “limiting beliefs” so we can heal, grow, and manifest the life we want.  But what if every belief creates a boundary? Because the moment you believe something about yourself — your worth, your identity, your past, what’s possible — you unconsciously put yourself in a box.  Even the positive ones.  Even the spiritual ones.  Beliefs become stories.  Stories become identities.  And identities quietly become cages.  In this heart-opening, grounded conversation, we explore personal growth, spiritual awakening, nervous system healing, self-awareness, and how to release old programming so you can live from truth instead of conditioning.  You’ll learn how to:  • recognize hidden belief patterns  • release emotional and energetic blocks  • stop over-identifying with your story  • shift from fear and limitation into freedom  • reconnect with your authentic self  This is about self-love, consciousness, and remembering who you really are beneath the labels.  Grab your cacao, slow down, and sit with us.  Because freedom begins the moment you stop believing everything you think.  Hey!

    You Are Creating This

    Nothing in your life is random.  Your emotions, beliefs, nervous system, and energetic state are constantly shaping what you experience — especially in relationship with others.  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Dorice explore the deeper truth of co-creation and what it really means to take your power back.  We talk about frequency, vibration, emotional patterns, and subconscious beliefs — and how they quietly create your reality whether you’re aware of them or not.  This is not about blame or toxic positivity. It’s about responsibility as liberation.  We explore:  How your inner state is always creating your outer experience Why every relationship is a co-creation The difference between responsibility and self-punishment How unprocessed emotions continue to create until they’re felt What changes when you stop seeing yourself as a victim and start leading your life This conversation is for those who are ready to stop waiting, stop outsourcing their power, and consciously participate in their own becoming.  Pour your cacao, drop into your body, and join us.  You are not behind.  You are not broken.  You are creating this.   Your life isn’t happening to you.  It’s responding to you.  Hey!

    Nothing Is Separate: Collective Consciousness & the Shared Field of Knowing

    There is a field of intelligence that exists beyond time, beyond individuality, and beyond ownership. A shared web of awareness where ideas, creativity, healing, and insight live long before they take form.  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we explore collective consciousness as the shared field of knowing that all humans can access. This is why people across the world often receive the same ideas at the same time—and why no one truly owns inspiration.  We talk about how to consciously tune into this infinite web, how information moves through the collective, and what changes when we stop competing for ideas and start listening more deeply. This conversation invites a shift from separation to connection, from effort to receptivity, and from ownership to stewardship.  You are not here to create in isolation.  You are here to remember what already exists and allow it to move through you.  Hey!

    Spiritual Unity in a Divided World: Choosing Love Over Separation

    We are living in a world that feels increasingly divided. Politics, race, gender, religion, identity — lines are being drawn everywhere, and we’re told we have to choose sides. What’s harder to admit is that the same separation is happening inside spiritual and conscious communities. People focused on being right. Making others wrong. Using spirituality to divide instead of unite. In this episode, we talk about spiritual unity — not as a concept, but as a daily practice. Unity doesn’t mean agreement. It doesn’t mean bypassing truth or avoiding hard conversations. It means choosing love without needing superiority. If we want real change in the world, it starts with how we listen, how we speak, and how willing we are to see the humanity in one another — especially when it’s uncomfortable. This conversation is an invitation to pause, soften, and remember: Love is not passive. Unity is not weak. And being right has never healed the world.  Hey! Thanks for listening!
