Can I get a witness?! Sometimes you meet someone and you watch the energy of the room change in an instant, and that is how I would describe this week’s conversation with the sultry, powerful, and intentional Lotus La Loba. What had initially drawn me to her magic was the fact that she is one of the few WOC healers that I have found in the EFT Tapping space. As an ordained beauty theologian, a trauma-informed practitioner, and a writer, I know we are in good hands.

I believe it was the pop rock band, Train, that said it best from their 2003 hit, “ And I’m calling all angels! And I’m calling all you angels!” This week, we have the immense pleasure of having the earth angel herself, Leilani Mañulu, on the pod to offer guidance, wisdom, and some big sister energy. Leilani is a modern shaman, author, podcaster, and speaker/storyteller, activating Earth Angel leaders into their soul-led purposes. Leilani is someone with a big mission and will not rest until it is actualized. This very fun and tenderhearted conversation packs a punch, so steady your wings- we are taking flight.

“Sometimes a window opens and goodness just spills out”-- this conversation with writer and well-living educator, Brandie Freely just so happens to be that window AND the goodness that spills out. We are blessed by the presence of Brandie while she shares the wisdom, the heart and the courage it takes to be a human, being. A human, being messy, a human, being brave, and a human, being vulnerable is no easy feat and it is with such a delicate way that Brandie holds herself and so many while navigating life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We are so lucky to witness history in the making and empowered ways of being with Brandie at the helm. So buckle up, grab your journal and some tissues because this episode will bring all the feels. We too laughed, cried and laughed again and we hope that you find some healing in this loving moment.

If ever you posed any Cosmopolitan quiz questions to yourself or completed a Buzzfeed personality test to see, ‘which type of bread you are’, you are probably into Human Design now, I don't make the rules. It sincerely took all I had to not make this episode an all out personal reading because of the level of knowledge and approachability of Yvonne. She makes it so fun, inviting and real. Yvonne Chung, a Bay Area based empowerment coach, human design guide and self love mentor who “straddles the line between the practical and the mystical, the research and the woo.” Come along with me while we discover this modality and dive deeper into ourselves as a result. We laugh, we explore, we take quiet moments of reflection when the truth is truthing. The overarching theme is that these truths are things that you already know and it is all about remembering.

Listen to the sound of my voice, “you are becoming unstoppable, you are very powerful, you are a supernova”... This week’s episode highlights the gentle, charming, and light, Suzanne Burton. Suzanne hails from ‘Down Unda’ and took the time out of her life of new motherhood to chat with us about hypnotherapy, manifestation, and community. Maybe it was the accent, or just the general energy of Suzanne, but she could truly say whatever she wanted to me and I would believe it. A true loving woman with a heart so large for the betterment of people and a keen desire to hold life’s harshest truths and still remain soft. Prepare to be held in every sense of the way.

Caution: feelings of extreme comfort and sweetness ahead! When I say get into a nice comfortable seated or lying down position to take in this episode, I mean it!! Shawana grounds us in the art of being, flowing and most importantly listening to what Spirit has to say. There is no sense of rush in this energy and the luxuriousness that her energy affords us is fffffeeeeeellllllttttt. As an author and Reiki practitioner specializing in the chakra system, Shawana has such a keen sense of tailoring each experience for her one on ones and group sessions. There is no rush here, there is no crashing out here, there is only this and this is now. I am so excited for this episode and for her message to be shared far and wide.

“It’s our podcast, bitch, and we can do what we want!”- Maddy. This is what Maddy said to me right after we recorded this episode because I just exposed all of my deepest diary thoughts. This is something a little bit different than any other episode we have done thus far. I am just sharing where I am at, how I feel about it. I hope that you are able to soak up a little wisdom from a human, being. It is vulnerable, a little chaotic, and stream of consciousness.

TWYNs, let’s get nourished this week by the soulful, potent and bright light that is Arielle Estoria. I was lucky enough to be connected with Arielle a few years ago and have been awestruck to see not only her unfolding with gentle power, but to witness her empire expand and the fact that she does it her way. You might recognize her face on ads for Zoom or see her smiling face in the MasterClass audience. She is taking over the world and we are happy to be a small piece in it.
Arielle Estoria (R-E-L EH-STORY-UH) (she/her) is a Published and commissioned Poet, Author and Actor and Yoga teacher. Her motto, "Words not for the ears but for the soul" stems from her dedication to remind anyone who encounters her work that words are meant to be felt and experienced not just heard. With a specific heart in empowering, encouraging and making space for audiences of women to feel free and at home in their own bodies. In March 2023, Estoria released her first solo book of poetry titled, THE UNFOLDING an invitation to come home to yourself, with Harper One available wherever books, e-books and audiobooks are available.

Is there a Doctor in the house?!... Funny you should ask… In fact there is, this week! We are so excited to invite Dr. Dayanara Thompson (Dr. Day) to the podcast! A dear friend, an activist, a chiropractor, corporate wellness CEO, and a somatic therapist- she is a Jane of all trades who uses her voice to uplift, educate, and inspire. Dr. Day’s interest in Holistic Wellness began when she studied physiology and health sciences at California State University, East Bay. Following her passion for helping others, she worked as an Emergency Medical Technician for the City of Oakland, CA. During her time as an EMT, Dr. Day was involved in a serious accident, leaving her unable to use her left leg from the knee down. This injury inspired her to find ways to heal her systems holistically. With her knowledge and first-hand experiences, she was able to transform her life completely as well as the lives of others. You will walk away from this episode with a renewed sense of power. Take two of those and call us in the morning. ;)
