Restoring Balance: Exploring the Evolution of the Sacred Feminine
Rekindling Ancient Wisdom
How much has the shift in gender roles impacted the relationships between men and women? How do women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s feel as they experience a change in masculine energy they once relied on into its feminine version? In this episode, I invite you to join me at the virtual campfire to discuss the evolution of the sacred feminine, what it used to be, what we made of it, and the impact of toxic femininity on how people interact in personal and professional settings.

The Rebellion Against Time. The Power of Being Present in a Fast-Paced World
Rekindling Ancient Wisdom
Do you feel you have less time to get things done? Do things affect you more intensely than before? Time is a construct, but it is also not a constant. Right now, the world is moving at a higher pace. That is why we feel our days are shorter because they are; we are operating on 18-hour days, and that also explains why things feel more intense. Today, we sit at the virtual campfire to discuss the most significant act of rebellion we can make to fight time's acceleration: being present. Throughout this episode, you'll hear about the importance of community,...

Beyond Religious and Social Constructs. Insights on Death and the Afterlife - Part 2
Rekindling Ancient Wisdom
"Fear robs us of so much. Fear robs us of experiences. Fear robs us of joy. Fear robs us of our energy, and if we can start talking about the true nature of death, then we will alleviate these fears. We will start seeing passing with a lot more grace." This week, on the second part of the conversation about death and the afterlife, I invite you to join me as we go deeper into how we can help our loved ones to die well, in peace, and fear-free.

Beyond Religious and Social Constructs. Insights on Death and the Afterlife - Part 1
Rekindling Ancient Wisdom
"We need to return to these teachings of learning how to release a soul from a body. Choosing a path where it's a process that isn't painful or filled with struggle and suffering and is more, in a way, like stepping off of a bus." Today, we meet at the virtual campfire right before the seventh anniversary of my husband's passing. Seven years ago, a new cycle began, and as I see it coming to an end, I realize it has gifted me valuable insights that I'd love to share.

The Thinning of the Veils. Finding Freedom On the Other Side of Uncomfortable Truths
Rekindling Ancient Wisdom
Every person who crosses our path does it to teach us something, and we must be grateful to them for that. Even those who hurt us the most? Especially those who hurt us the most. In this episode, our conversation at the virtual campfire revolves around the challenges of deception and authenticity in personal relationships and the freedom to follow our true call and liberate ourselves from what anybody thinks. As we emerge from the Age of Piscis, where things were easily disguised in water's gloominess, and enter the Age of Aquarius, where air prevails, nothing can be hidden anymore. That is...

Beats of Native Ancient Wisdom. Passing Down Ceremonial Rituals, Stories, and Healing Techniques with Tina Zufelt - Part 1
Rekindling Ancient Wisdom
"If you find flowers, cut them. You don't pull it by the roots. You cut the flower, offer a bit of tobacco, and say: Thank you. And as you go around, you ask; you don't just take, you ask. Ask and drop your offering. Only take a few of each thing that you're taking. If it's something on the ground, like a pine cone, I feel like everything has an energy, everything is alive, you still ask, even if it is a rock." - Tina Zufelt. In today's episode, the amazing Tina Zufelt joins the virtual campfire to share her connection with the Land, Mother Earth, and Native American Guides. Tina is a Drum...

Breaking the Family Curse: Transcending the Limits of What We Didn't Know We Don't Know
Rekindling Ancient Wisdom
Not so long ago, I heard a comment that simply put, hit me wrong; it created a grueling discomfort that stuck and I couldn't shake off for days. Talking about it with a very close, intuitive friend, she revealed something I certainly wasn't expecting: "You have a Voodoo curse in your family." In today's episode, our conversation at the virtual campfire revolves around curses, hexes, traumas from past lives or our childhood, and virtually everything that holds us back, whether we are aware of their existence or not. Throughout this episode, you'll hear details of how I dealt with the Voodoo...

The Power of Words: How What We Say Shapes What See, Feel, and Experience
Rekindling Ancient Wisdom
In the mid-90s, Dr. Masaru Emoto conducted an experiment to prove water's "skill" to transport words' vibrations. The results were remarkable: he observed high-vibration words like love or gratitude formed beautiful patterns on frozen water and low-vibration words like war or hate did the opposite. How do words affect a body that is 70% water, then? In today's episode, in another soul-to-soul conversation, I invite you to reflect on the power of words, the ones we use to talk to ourselves, to others, about ourselves and others, and the ones we use to describe what happens in our lives....
