    SoulFire Sisters S2-Ep9: Joy as a Spiritual Practice: Why Fun Is Not Frivolous with Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar

    This is your permission slip. Consider it signed, sealed, and delivered. In this luminous, laughter-filled episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar make the case — explicitly, joyfully, and without apology — that joy is not a reward you earn after the suffering is done. Joy is not a break from spiritual practice. Joy is spiritual practice. And the sooner we stop treating delight as something frivolous, the sooner we remember what we were actually made for. Drawing from shamanic wisdom, Dawn's 21 days of silent study with enlightened monks in India (who turned out to be hilariously funny), Dr. Sue Morter's teaching that a beautiful life comes down to being loving, joyful, and playful, and the healing science of laughter — this episode is part permission slip, part love letter, and part gentle revolution. They get a little righteous about it too, because they should: the conditioning that keeps women from joy is not accidental. A woman full of her own joy is not available to manage everyone else's discomfort. Which means reclaiming joy isn't just good for you — it's a radical act. Mary reminds us that our spirit guides have a sense of humor. Dawn reminds us that joy is a frequency, not a feeling — something you can cultivate and return to even on the hard days. And together they remind us that chronic seriousness is not depth. It's a stuck frequency. And joy moves stuck energy faster than just about anything else. This week's SoulFire Spark: Do one thing this week purely because it delights you. Blow bubbles. Dance in your kitchen. Call the friend who makes you snort-laugh. Watch a ridiculous movie. And when that voice shows up — the one that says you should be doing something more productive — say this out loud: My joy is my medicine. Because it is.   Dr. Mary Newstrom’s website: ZenithHigh.com Dawn Morningstar’s websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

    SoulFire Sisters S2-Ep8: Crystals, Stones & Earth Medicine: Why These Ancient Tools Still Work with Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar

    You don't need a special collection. You don't need to spend a lot of money. You just need a stone, a little curiosity, and a willingness to remember something your ancestors never forgot. In this warm, grounding, and genuinely fascinating episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar explore one of humanity's oldest relationships — the one between us and the living earth beneath our feet. Crystals, stones, and earth medicine aren't fringe practices or "woo-woo" novelties. They're ancient technologies that have persisted through every culture and every attempt to dismiss them, for one very simple reason: they work. Drawing from Mary's shamanic and animist worldview — in which everything, including stones, carries consciousness and frequency — and Dawn's personal practice of weaving crystals into her home, her work, and even the making of Radiant Face 18, this episode offers both the why and the how of working with earth medicine. They explore the science hiding in plain sight (your phone runs on quartz crystal — think about that), the difference between a tool and a talisman, and why placing a sacred stone on your desk isn't superstition. It's intentional design of your energetic space. It's power within. They also address the two extremes with characteristic honesty and care: the skeptic who needs proof before feeling, and the believer who thinks a crystal will fix everything. The truth, as always, lives in relationship — the willingness to simply pick up a stone, hold it with curiosity, and begin to notice. This week's SoulFire Spark: Go outside, or look around wherever you are. Find one stone — ordinary is perfectly fine — that catches your attention. Hold it. Feel it. Ask it, silently or aloud, what it has to offer you. Then notice. Carry it for a few days. Journal what shifts. You don't need to understand it fully to begin. You just need to be willing to go ancient.   Dr. Mary Newstrom’s website: ZenithHigh.com   Dawn Morningstar’s websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com   Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

    SoulFire Sisters S2-Ep7: Rewriting Your Story: Breaking the Spells You Didn’t Know You Were Under with Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar

    That voice inside your head — the one that's been with you your whole life — whose voice is it, really? In this crackle-with-electricity episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar venture into the invisible architecture that shapes everything: the stories, spells, and self-curses that were handed to us long before we were old enough to question them. And the radical, liberating truth at the heart of this conversation? Most of what you believe about yourself — what you deserve, what's possible for you, who you are — was never really yours to begin with. Drawing from shamanic wisdom, ancestral healing, and the kind of practical spiritual clarity that actually moves things, Mary and Dawn unpack what a spell really is: words repeated so many times, and absorbed so deeply, that they stop being descriptions and become declarations. You're too sensitive. Women like us don't do things like that. I'm not enough. I'm too much. Said by others first, then handed off to the inner critic to carry forward — becoming load-bearing walls in the architecture of identity. They go further, tracing how these spells travel through generational lineage, how the very calendar we live inside was designed as an instrument of power, and why some of the most binding stories we carry were never about us at all — they were just the pan that was too short for the loaf. And then, with characteristic warmth and no-nonsense shamanic wisdom, they offer a way out: a five-minute fire ceremony ritual — something your nervous system can actually feel — to name the spell, speak it aloud, release it to the elements, and plant one true sentence of a new story in its place. This week's SoulFire Spark: Write down one story that has been binding you. Speak these words out loud: "This was never mine to carry. I release it now. I choose a new story." Then burn it, bury it, dissolve it. Give it back to the earth. And write one sentence — just one — of who you actually are. Your story was never finished. It was just waiting for you to pick up the pen.   Dr. Mary Newstrom’s website: ZenithHigh.com Dawn Morningstar’s websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

    SoulFire Sisters S2-Ep6: Into the Shadow: Meeting Your Whole Self with Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar

    What if the parts of you that you've spent a lifetime hiding are actually the doorway to your greatest power? In this tender, brave, and ultimately liberating episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar venture somewhere most of us have been taught to avoid: the shadow. Not the darkness — the wholeness waiting to be integrated. Drawing from Carl Jung's foundational concept of the shadow self, Mary's shamanic wisdom, and Dr. Sue Morter's work on the protective personality, the sisters demystify what the shadow actually is — the anger we were told wasn't ladylike, the ambition we learned to shrink, the grief we swallowed, the light we dimmed because shining felt unsafe. These aren't the worst parts of us. They're the hidden parts of us, and there's a profound difference. They explore the shadow's sneaky ways of showing up — in our triggers, our projections, and in the qualities we admire or resent in others — and why the most irritating person in the room might just be holding up a mirror. They also introduce the concept of the golden shadow: the gifts we've projected onto others because we haven't yet dared to claim them in ourselves. Dawn shares a deeply vulnerable personal story of a time she used alcohol to manage emotions she couldn't yet face — and the healing that came when she finally let herself feel them. Mary reflects on her own lifelong dance with impatience, and the grace she's learned to offer herself when the shadow shows up uninvited. This week's SoulFire Spark: write a letter to one quality you've judged or hidden — and end it with four words that could change everything: I'm ready to know you. Your shadow isn't your enemy. It's the part of you that's still waiting to come home.   Dr. Mary Newstrom’s website: ZenithHigh.com Dawn Morningstar’s websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

    SoulFire Sisters S2-Ep5: Living In Rhythm: Honoring Your Feminine Cycles with Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar

    What if letting go isn't a loss — but the most creative act there is? In this tender and transformative episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar explore the sacred, often misunderstood practice of releasing — the old stories, the draining relationships, the version of yourself you've quietly outgrown, the job you've stayed in too long, the wound you've carried so far it started to feel like identity. And they want you to know right from the start: this is not about pretending things didn't matter. It's not about bypassing grief or rushing your healing. Letting go is holy work. It deserves real attention — and real ceremony. Drawing from Mary's shamanic wisdom and earth-based spiritual traditions, and Dawn's deeply personal stories of releasing a beloved home, a cherished friendship, and a business identity that no longer fit, this episode offers both the why and the how of release. They explore what gets stuck in the body when we hold on too long, how nature's cycles mirror our own need to shed and renew, and why releasing the old is the very thing that creates space for the new. This week's SoulFire Spark: a Release Letter — a simple, ten-minute practice of writing to what you're ready to let go of, thanking it for what it taught you, and telling it, gently but clearly: it's time. You are always in the process of becoming. Trust the letting go. It knows the way.   Dr. Mary Newstrom’s website: ZenithHigh.com Dawn Morningstar’s websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com   Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

    SoulFire Sisters S2-Ep4: The Art of Letting Go: Releasing What No Longer Serves Your Soul with Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar

    What if letting go isn't a loss — but the most creative act there is?

    SoulFire Sisters S2-Ep3: Energetic Boundaries: How To Protect Your Light Without Closing Your Heart with Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar

    You don't have to choose between being open and being protected. You can be both. In this grounding and liberating episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar dive deep into one of the most misunderstood concepts in the spiritual and personal growth world: energetic boundaries. Not walls. Not armor. Not closing yourself off — but learning to tend your energy field the way a gardener tends sacred ground: pulling the weeds, watering what you want to grow, and never cementing over the soil. Drawing from Mary's shamanic and earth-based healing wisdom and Dawn's years of coaching women to build their lives and businesses from the inside out, this episode is especially for the woman who feels everything — the helper, the fixer, the empath who gives endlessly and wonders why she's always exhausted. Together, the sisters unpack what energy really means (beyond the buzzword), why sensitive women often developed their gift in the soil of trauma, and why protecting your energy isn't selfish — it's the work. They share personal stories, practical tools, and a simple but powerful practice called the Energy Audit to help you begin noticing — without judgment — where your energy flows freely and where it's being drained. You are allowed to take up space in your own energy field. All of it. It belongs to you.   Dr. Mary Newstrom’s website: ZenithHigh.com Dawn Morningstar’s websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com   Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.

    SoulFire Sisters S2-Ep2: Spirit Guides, Ancestors & Allies: Who's Really Helping You, and How You Can Tell with Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar

    You are not doing this alone. You never were. In this illuminating episode of SoulFire Sisters, Dr. Mary Newstrom and Dawn Morningstar pull back the veil on one of the most profound — and profoundly relieving — truths of the spiritual path: you have a whole team working with you, for you, and through you, right now. Drawing from Mary's decades of shamanic practice and Dawn's visionary wisdom, the sisters explore the rich landscape of spirit guides, power animals, ancestral guides, and spiritual allies — who they are, how they show up, and why most of us were simply never told they exist. Mary shares her own extraordinary story of meeting her spirit guide Zenith in 1982, and how that relationship has shaped everything since. But this episode goes deeper than belief — it's about discernment. How do you tell the difference between real guidance and wishful thinking? Between divine nudge and self-deception? Dawn and Mary offer grounded, practical wisdom for learning to trust what you've always, on some level, already known. If you've ever had an unexplained knowing, a dream that felt like a visitation, or a moment where you simply didn't feel alone — this episode is your invitation to stop wondering and start listening. Your soul team is already assembled. It's time to get acquainted.   Dr. Mary Newstrom’s website: ZenithHigh.com Dawn Morningstar’s websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com   Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a global sisterhood and sanctuary for women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise up… together.
