    Cosmic Conversations: Understanding Your Natal Chart With Rob Dorgan

    ***This is part two of our conversation with Rob Dorgan. If you missed part one, be sure to check out last week’s episode.*** Podcast host April DeMille introduces part two of her conversation with professional astrologer, meditation and yoga teacher, retreat facilitator, and author Rob Dorgan (Awakening the Mystic). Rob explains his approach to identifying a chart’s “chairperson” (often the ascendant ruler) and reads April’s Western natal chart: Pisces sun, Cancer moon, Sagittarius rising, with Jupiter as chart ruler and the Moon in Cancer as a strong co-chair. He notes a “splash” chart pattern, strong water houses, and both rulers in the eighth house, linking her to deep transformation, mediumship, and helping others through grief and “dark night of the soul” experiences; April shares her daughter died by drowning and discusses homelessness and resilience. Rob highlights Chiron in her fifth house and discusses transits, including a recent Jupiter return and career/publishing expansion themes around 2027–2028. They close with ways to contact Rob and his weekly “Two Minute Tuesday” practice. Rob Dorgan is a certified yoga educator, international retreat facilitator, meditation teacher/devotee, and a practicing astrologer. He also holds a Master’s Degree in Modern European History. While working on his doctorate, the trajectory of Dorgan’s life path was drastically altered when he was introduced to the mystical arts of astrology and yoga. He left academia and, along with his partner, Steve Bolia, moved to Colorado to study and work with Linda Goodman, the author of Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs, Love Signs, Star Signs, and Gooberz.  He then mentored many years with master astrologer and teacher of the Ancient Wisdom, Alan Oken. Dorgan began studying yoga in the 1980s. He studied with many teachers including Sianna Sherman, John Friend, and the preeminent Sally Kempton in meditation. Yoga, along with astrology, changed his life. Dorgan’s debut novel, Awakening the Mystic: A Novel of Cosmic Love and Healing, is part memoir and part fiction, it is full of real possibilities for the future of our human species and Mother Earth. He welcomes the opportunity to speak about the major themes of his book, including the ‘Astrological Chairperson of a person’s chart’ and becoming a Mystical Revolutionary.

    Mystical Revolution: An Interview With Astrologer Rob Dorgan

    ***This is part one of our conversation with Rob Dorgan. Be sure to come back next week for part two.*** Host April DeMille introduces her Own Your Essence podcast, her psychic medium readings and coaching, and guest Rob Dorgan, a professional astrologer, meditation and yoga teacher, retreat facilitator, and author of Awakening the Mystic. Rob shares leaving an academic PhD track after an epiphany and an astrology reading in the 1980s that led him into yoga and astrology, noting his grounded approach helps skeptics take esoteric practices seriously. He explains his memoir-fiction method and why it enables honesty and creative freedom, including audience engagement about what is real. Rob describes the “chairperson” of a chart as typically the ruler of the ascendant (with possible co-chair/committee), influenced by his Saturn-return dreams of a chart “council.” He outlines the mystical revolution as rising compassion and oneness, discusses Patanjali’s five kleshas (ignorance, ego, attachment, aversion, fear of death), and cites outgrowing organized religion after being rejected as a gay man. They close by previewing part two, where Rob reads April’s natal chart. Rob Dorgan is a certified yoga educator, international retreat facilitator, meditation teacher/devotee, and a practicing astrologer. He also holds a Master’s Degree in Modern European History.

    Healing Through Intuition: Insights From Alisha Kapani

    Host April DeMille introduces the Own Your Essence podcast and her services (psychic medium readings and coaching for grief, trauma, and toxic relationship recovery), then interviews Alisha Kapani, a former chemical engineer turned mind-body mentor who helps people heal emotional root causes of illness by shifting consciousness, addressing limiting beliefs and stored emotions. Alisha shares that severe depression, rooted largely in self-abandonment and suppressed emotions from an abandonment-triggering relationship, led her to mind-body medicine and rapid healing, after which clients organically sought her help and corporate work felt misaligned. They discuss listening to body signals (light/heavy “yes/no”), not forcing, and why conventional approaches fell short when driven by rejection and bypassing. April shares her chronic illness and hair loss as a lesson in surrender and root causes. Alisha connects abundance blocks to worthiness, shame, and resistance to feminine receiving, emphasizing intention, self-care, and trust. Alisha recommends The Awakened Woman’s Guide to Everlasting Love and The Queen’s Code and shares joy in dance and play. Alisha Kapani is a former Chemical Engineer turned Mindbody Mentor after struggling with severe depression for 5 years. She assists clients all over the world to tap into their body’s wisdom to resolve illness and access their highest possibilities for vitality and abundance.

    Nature's Healing Power And Overcoming Cult Trauma With Isabella Young

    Host April DeMille introduces the Own Your Essence podcast and her private psychic medium readings and coaching, then interviews Kauai-based author Isabella Young. Young describes writing a memoir and her earlier books about humanity’s “enslavement,” mind control, and the importance of recognizing cult dynamics, which she says exist in families, relationships, institutions, and social movements. She shares practices she teaches for wellbeing: grounding by physically connecting to the earth, bringing nature indoors, consuming fresh “living” foods, and seeking natural light, including sun exposure and sun gazing, which she links to personal healing and consciousness shifts. Young recounts major traumas: an alcoholic narcissistic mother, the death of partner Barry, entering a California ashram-like group led by a narcissistic “second coming” figure, the death of her 15-year-old son, escaping the group after learning cult characteristics, and later losing contact with her children through parental estrangement. She discusses grief, trauma, and staying present, promotes her 1,800-page book The New Human of New Earth and self-publishing, and directs listeners to her Feeling Better Naturally YouTube/Substack and email. Isabella Young is a pioneering educator, spiritual aspirant, and truth-seeker whose life journey is nothing short of extraordinary. From founding one of Australia’s first therapeutic Outdoor Education programs to surviving personal tragedy, cult entrapment, and profound loss, Isabella’s path has been one of deep transformation and radical awakening. Now thriving on Kauai, she shares her hard-earned wisdom through books, art, and natural medicines to help others reclaim their humanity, Dinivity, and sovereignty. Isabella offers raw and illuminating insights and effective practices for healing and empowerment through Nature, Truth, and unwavering spiritual resilience.

    Unveiling The Mysteries: Psychic Insights And Paranormal Talk With April DeMille

    Host April DeMille welcomes Stephanie Webb to an unscripted “true or false” Q&A on psychic abilities, mediumship, hauntings, and paranormal topics, while also noting April’s private psychic medium readings and one-on-one coaching for grief, trauma, and toxic relationship recovery.

They cover universal psychic ability, government UFO secrecy and alleged DNA experiments, differences among guides and angels, energetic imprints versus ghosts, how skepticism can affect readings, and spirits or human energy influencing electronics. 00:00 Podcast Welcome and Guest 01:04 Surprise Paranormal Q&A Setup 01:36 X Files Nostalgia 03:14 Rapid Fire Rules 04:04 Full Moon Psychic Boost 06:00 Accidental Spirit Doors 07:14 Fear Beliefs and Possession 10:38 Bigfoot Interdimensional Tales 16:28 Cleansing Rituals and Tools 19:19 Haunted Objects and Authority 21:26 Claim Your Authority 22:32 Firm Boundaries Work 24:13 Hollywood Fear Myths 25:15 Hypnosis Consent Explained 25:57 Everyone Has Psychic Sense 27:24 UFOs Government Secrets 28:27 DNA Experiments Allegations 31:04 Guides vs Angels 33:54 Ghosts and Energy Imprints 35:53 Skepticism and Readings 39:52 Electronics and Kinetic Energy 43:38 Closing and Booking ✨ Work with April 1:1 If you’re looking to work with April privately, here are the booking links: 🔗 30-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Reading https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading-with-april-demille 🔗 45-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Reading  https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading 🔗 15-Minute Discovery Call https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/breakthrough-discovery-call-15-minute Send us Fan Mail

    Exploring Galactic Guides: A Conversation With Summer

    ***This is part two of our conversation with Summer. If you missed part one, be sure to check out last week’s episode.*** Host April DeMille introduces Own Your Essence podcast, her private psychic medium readings and one-on-one coaching, then welcomes guest Summer, an intuitive teacher, channeler, and author of “Embracing Your Shadow,” a workbook with prompts and mindfulness practices for shadow work. Summer shares daily practices of talking to her guides and a revised grounding method of pulling intuition/energy through the whole essence and into the earth; April relates with her own anchoring approach. Summer names “The Untethered Soul” as a life-changing book and says spirit’s key lesson is trust. Summer explains channeling a collective called Armana through trance or conscious channeling, then channels Armana’s message about Earth’s turbulent planetary awakening creating a blueprint for other civilizations, urging people to stay grounded, calm, and observant rather than reactive. They discuss Pleiadian energy and Summer’s connection to Armana. Summer is an intuitive teacher, energy healer, author, and spiritual life coach dedicated to helping people reconnect with their inner wisdom and authentic selves. Her journey into this work was born from personal transformation and a deep commitment to spiritual growth. Through sound healing, trans channeling, and intuitive guidance, Summer helps others align with their highest potential and restore balance to mind, body, and spirit. Drawing on her gifts of clairaudience, clairvoyance, clairsentience, and claircognizance, she shares compassionate insights and messages from spirit guides, departed loved ones, and the soul to support healing, clarity, and personal empowerment.

They discuss distinguishing intuition from fear or wishful thinking, noting intuition is often subtle but can become urgent in danger, illustrated by both women’s real-life experiences involving police reports. They explore beliefs about predestination and co-creation, and discuss past-life regression/hypnotherapy as a tool for identifying and healing trauma and beliefs across lifetimes, including a client’s intense purging experience and mind-body symptom connections, emphasizing trust, community, and integration.

    Ghostly Giggles And Psychic Insights: Haunted House Hilarity With Lee And April

    Hosts April DeMille and Lee Walczak host a lighter episode this week using AI-generated “would you survive a haunted house?” prompts, taking turns answering spooky scenarios: hearing a friend’s voice, a warning child spirit, a phantom cat, a ghost giving 10 seconds to leave, locked or hidden rooms, a possessed realtor, footsteps with no upstairs, friends proposing a seance, predictive texts, and choices about portals, hotels, proof of reincarnation, and spirits offering future answers. They discuss boundaries, curiosity, urgency cues, and ethics, then end with rapid-fire questions (cryptids, cemeteries vs hospitals, spirit box vs Ouija, mediums in TV, unwanted abilities), and close by inviting listeners to book readings with either host. ✨ Connect & work with  Lee  Facebook: facebook.com/leethemedium Tiktok: leewalczak Instagram: leewalczak Email: leewalczakvitality@gmail.com ✨ Work with April 1:1 If you’re looking to work with April privately, here are the booking links: 30-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Reading https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading-with-april-demille 45-Minute Intuitive Breakthrough Reading  https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/intuitive-breakthrough-reading 15-Minute Discovery Call https://calendly.com/ownyouressencepodcast/breakthrough-discovery-call-15-minute Send us Fan Mail
