229. The Wild Woman Archetype: Nourishing your Goddess Instincts, Passion and Beauty with Dr. Stacey Shelby
Have you met the Wild Women?
Hopefully regardless of how old you are, you know her and you know her well.
Perhaps you caught a faint whiff of her on a steamy hot Summer night or when a societal or cultural issue ignited your inner fire to take action on something that was important to you.
Yet far too many women are not familiar with her.
They either consciously or unconsciously feel the cultural constraints and metaphorical leash that has tried to tame and domesticate her in an attempt to control and limit her powerful energy and abilities. Yet we need her...desperately. The primal, instinctual nature that exists in all women is known as the Wild Woman archetype and it is a critical asset in helping us navigate wisely through our lives. So if you find yourself feeling overly 'civilized' or 'domesticated', out of touch with your instinctual inner compass and "fire in the belly" - basically feeling lame and far too tame - this episode is for you!
My guest today is Dr. Stacey Shelby who is an author, speaker, educator, and depth psychotherapist. She is certified clinical dream tender holds a masters and Ph.D. in Depth Psychology with a specialization in Jungian and Archetypal Studies. In this episode we tap into Dr. Shelby's understanding and experience with the Wild Woman Archetype and what it means for all women. We also talk about love as a catalyst for true inner awakening and discuss ways we can engage with Goddess archetypes in our everyday lives.

228. Dreaming Ourselves Awake: Overcoming the Mind-Virus with Paul Levy
Realizing the dreamlike nature of our reality is key to resolving the nightmare we find ourselves in today. Wounded healer and author Paul Levy has learned this lesson the hard way and now assists others through their journey to awakening.
Paul shares his harrowing journey of rejection, psychiatric institution and wholehearted belief in the potentiality of the quantum field. He describes the mind-virus, the nature of evil, and how we can heal from the collective trauma that most of us are feeling. He describes quantum physics as it relates to our everyday experiences in a way that you and I can understand, and encourages us that all potentials are possible.

227. The Goddess: The Original Creative Power
Have you ever had a small (or large!) suspicion that this society wasn't designed for or by women?
When you hear the name "God" as the bearded male patriarch in the sky, do you feel represented?
The Divine Feminine has been disparaged, disrespected and discarded for too long. But it was't always like this.
Barbara Walker wrote The Woman's Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects to remind us of our position in society. "Second created, first to sin." We have settled for an unempowered existence and we don't have to.
So let's talk about the Goddess. Where did she come from? To where did she go? How can we rebuild our connection to her sacred power?

226. The Strategy and The Solution: Dialing in Our Food and Mind with Jim Gale and the Food Forest Abundance Home Permaculture Team
We all know that having high-quality, nutrient-dense food is critical in order to be healthy, have energy and look our best, but the sad fact is that this is becoming more and more difficult to do. Soaring inflation and food prices, the ever-increasing onslaught of chemicals, hormones and antibiotics in conventional food and the impeding collapse of the global ecosystem from decades of mismanagement has resulted in a food system in peril. Plus most of us have lost, or maybe even never had, basic knowledge and skills on how to grow our own food and have become dependent on outside resources just in order to live!
What's a busy, health and planet-conscious person to do?
The answer: BUILD YOUR OWN FOOD FOREST!
My guest today is Jim Gale who is an absolute POWERHOUSE and a permaculture expert that is bringing real-life solutions. Jim and his team at Food Forest Abundance are revolutionizing the way many of us look at our relationship with the land, our food and ourselves...for the better! His mission is to inspire people all over the world to grow their own food...and here’s the secret: it’s NOT as hard as you think!
I urge you to listen to Jim's full story as well as more on the wonderful world of permiculture on Jim's first episode with me: Episode 84. Liberate Your Mind, Your Lawn And Your Future With Jim Gale, Permaculture Expert and The Food Forest Abundance Home Garden Revolution
And if you are ready to be more self-reliant, empowered, healthy and part of the solution not only for your own health but for the entire planet but don’t know where or how to start, you can fast-track the process by getting one of Jim's fabulous permaculture experts to design a food forest system for your home like I just did! Don't worry, you don't need a lot of land or a large budget - the beautiful thing is they work with what you've got and go from there.

224. Developing Critical Thinking Skills and What It Means to Be Truly Awake with Dr. Madhava Setty
Are you biased? Do you have prejudices?
How do you know what you know?
Why do you believe what you believe?
Closely observing thousands of patients under Anesthesia led Dr. Madhava to ask fundamental questions around ideas that have gone unchallenged for a very long time: What does it mean to be awake? Does awareness require a functioning body or does it arise of its own? He was astounded to realize that “our understanding of who we are as conscious beings is based on assumptions that can easily be overturned” if we are willing to examine them openly. It turns out that unchallenged assumptions underpin our understanding of much of the world outside of the Operating Room as well. It is a matter of how closely we are willing to look…
You can find Dr. Madhava's substack here: "An Insult to Intuition". He also has a website and a page featuring his work for Children's Health Defense, and he has also been featured on an independent media platform called ThePulse.

223. The Top 15 Qualities of a High Value Woman
Is there a high value woman in your life?
Or maybe YOU are one or at perhaps aspire to be one!
Yay, I'm all for growing, learning and striving to be all that we can be and for each of us to fulfill our innate potential. In fact, that's a big part of the mission of this show.
I have been contemplating the qualities and attributes that result in being a person that holds her or himself in high regard. Funny thing is, this often results in others regarding us in that way too. Yet more than self-esteem or confidence, (although tied to it), being a person of high value translates to self-respect, contribution and interestingly self-care.
However it's rare to know of people who we might regard as being "high-value" isn't it?
Among other things, our culture celebrates drama, shallow appearances, nudity, quick-fixes, over-sexualization immediate gratification, and narcissism. Where is the class, dignity, respect, depth and discretion?
I hope you hear something that inspires you in today's show or at the very least, gets you thinking.;)

222. Chewing the Phat: Skincare, SmartLard and Loving Pigs with Charles Mayfield of Farrow Skincare
Do you spend lots of money on an expensive skincare routine?
What if I told you that there is something much more effective, natural and bioavailable than all those creams, serums and lotions on the market?
Hint: humans have used it for ages, it's very gentle and absorbable, it promotes collagen production, evens skin tone, reduces wrinkles and firms and tones skin. And... it comes from pigs!
Stay with me here! Charles Mayfield, my guest today, is a huge fan of pigs. In fact, they're his favorite animal! He raises him on his regenerative farm where they play a key role in maintaining open land and cultivating soil health. Charles is the founder of Farrow Skincare, a beautiful company that "leads with lard," and is nurturing humans, pigs and the planet.

221. The Mythology in Your Stars: Learning From Oracle Cards, the Tarot & Mythic Heroines with Letao Wang
Did you know that astrology is fundamentally related to mythical tales of gods, goddesses, and supernatural earthy phenomenon?
Yes! In fact, mythology is the very foundation of human civilization. We developed higher cognition and language through storytelling: the symbolic retelling of relationships, tragedies, heroic acts and our understanding of the natural world around us. We familiarized ourselves with the mysterious star-shapes in the sky through storytelling.
Letao Wang, my guest today, is an expert on the connections between mythology, astrology and psychology. He is an accomplished astrologist and tarot specialist and the founder and spiritual counselor of the Healing Kingdom. Since 2015, Wang has served clients both in his local city of Hong Kong and internationally, offering insights through astrology, tarot, and numerology readings. Alongside this, he pens the astrology column for the well-known Hong Kong Living Magazine.
In this episode, you'll learn about working with Letao's amazing oracle cards, the tarot, and a practical application of Ancient Greek mythology. Letao discusses the differences between deity worship and the study of archetypes as well as the beautiful myths of Helen of Troy, Queen Penelope of Ithaca, Orpheus the Wounded Healer, and Atalanta, the swiftest woman in the world, and how these characters shed insight on our everyday journeys through life.

220. Reclaiming our Sovereignty and Power in Menopause and Beyond with Dr. Fiona Lovely
Let me tell you... I've been looking forward to interviewing Dr. Fiona Lovely for a long time and this conversation STILL exceeded my expectations!
Welcome to a world in which we know and embody our inherent Divine Feminine wisdom. We feel into new things and test new information against our intuition. We settle into each day gently, free of addiction to stress and adrenaline spikes. We habituate acts of self-care and self-love every day, engaging only in actions that nourish us. We are embodied, selfish/selfFULL and unapologetically own our voices and our space.
Easier said than done, right?
Well, don't worry, because Dr. Fiona Lovely is here! Tune in to hear her wise perspective on menstruation and female hormones, tips for regulating your nervous system, the importance of discharging stressful energy, and advice for women who are facing new challenges with sex, lubrication, joint pain, and genitourinary wellness in peri-menopause. This conversation is full of incredible Fiona-isms – you'll soon understand what I mean ;)
Dr. Fiona Lovely is a women’s health expert with specialties in functional medicine, functional neurology and restorative endocrinology. Her practice focus is to find the root cause of dis-ease, reaching all aspects of health and making space for wellness. She is the creator and host of a popular long-running podcast on the passage of peri-menopause called Not Your Mother’s Menopause. Millions around the world have downloaded the podcast, listening in to learn about the physical, mental and spiritual journey of menopause. You can find her work at drlovely.com and @drfionalovely on IG and tiktok.

218. The World Beyond Perception and the Destiny of Feminine Energy with Dr. Ibrahim Karim
Things are not as they seem, folks!
The world we occupy through our "sensory masks," as Dr. Ibrahim Karim puts it, has caused us to lose touch with the Universe.
We're feeling the implications of that now through corruption, environmental destruction, skyrocketing rates of chronic diseases and mental health disorders, animal extinction, deforestation, over-extraction of resources, war, social injustice and global climate change.
As a society, we are almost completely separate from not only the nature around us, but also the intrinsic wisdom of our bodies.
Was it always this way? How can we restore balance?
In this episode, Dr. Ibrahim Karim beautifully explains these important dynamics, the qualities of masculine and feminine energy, the brilliance of ancient societies, and the importance of restoring awareness to the right brain.

216. The Wheel of the Year: Ancestral Wisdom & Rituals To Get In Sync with The Seasons and Nature
Why are the holidays so enchanting, universally and separately from any organized religious activities?
How did our ancestors honor these planetary transitions and celebrate the changing of the seasons?
If we recognize their deep-rooted traditions, can we feel more aligned and connected with the cycles of nature?
This episode is an exploration of the 8 ancient Pagan celebrations that underlie the more recent Christian holidays. Together, we'll dive into the cosmic dance of astrological cycles and the annual phases of the sun, discovering the profound connection between these ancient celebrations and the natural world. Throughout the episode, I'll share insights into the significance of rituals and rites of passage, unveiling the rich Pagan traditions of Paganism and unravelling its stigmatized nature. We'll also review the importance of aligning our diets with the seasons to savor the abundance of nourishment nature provides.
I hope you enjoy this exploration of spirituality, ancient traditions, and the timeless essence of the Wheel of the Year!

215. Fast Friday: Speaking From Your Womb, Your Seat of Power
When the energetic resonance of women's voices originate from deep within us, we speak our truth.
According to Dr. Christine Page, and many others, this is the voice of the Womb.
The Womb is the seat of feminine power and our source of intuition, knowing, and connection with the divine.
When we speak from the throat, our voices become higher in pitch, wordy and brain-centered. When we speak from the Womb, our voices reverberate with the relationship-building power of the Sacral Chakra and we effortlessly magnetize attention to our message.
Today I will be sharing from The Handbook of Women's Mysteries: Practices to Reclaim Our Ancient Gifts and Powers by Dr. Christine Page, my two-time podcast guest and beloved mentor. This handbook aims to unearth women's mysteries so they can be shared with women and girls everywhere. When women embrace their inner strengths, align to their natural rhythms and embody their creative powers, a new world of peace, cooperation, and abundance will be born.

213. The Year of the 8: Perspectives from Numerology, Astrology and the Tarot

In this quick episode, I'll be reviewing the significance of this year with reference to the Tarot, astrology and numerology. Early on in my show, I recorded a conversation with Dr. James Wanless, who authored best-selling Voyager Tarot Card Decks and Sustain Yourself- Green Wisdom Tarot Cards.

212. Fast Friday: Nine Gifts of the Fully Embodied Woman
Are you enough?
Are you complete?
Are you embodied?
As women in this society, feeling "complete" can be a rare occurrence. Our society fosters and feeds on our insecurities and our craving for MORE, which translates to more material items, more status, more money.
But under all that, what is that MORE you are longing for?
Dr. Christine Page, my two-time podcast guest and beloved mentor, wrote a book to address these issues women face today: The Handbook of Women's Mysteries: Practices to Reclaim Our Ancient Gifts and Powers. This handbook aims to unearth women's mysteries so they can be shared with women and girls everywhere. When women embrace their inner strengths, align to their natural rhythms and embody their creative powers, a new world of peace, cooperation, and abundance will be born.
In today's Fast Friday, I will read to you from Dr. Page's list of the gifts of an embodied woman, which include...
- Loving and connecting
- Wisdom keeper
- Transformative powers
- Clear-sightedness
- Clearing emotions
- Birthing
- Mastering the power of our inner sexual serpent
- Inspirational insights
- Spiritual leaders

210. Beyond Filtered Water: Achieving Coherence in Mind, Body & Spirit with the Analemma Wand
Looks are deceiving, and that saying goes for your water, too!
You can invest in good food and exercise programs, surround yourself with supportive friends and family, and even learn to navigate the ups and downs of life with grace... but if you don’t consider your water to be of equal importance, you will never achieve your peak level of health and performance.
Though properly filtering your water is now absolutely necessary for preventing toxins, contaminants, pesticides, foreign additives and other dangerous pollutants from entering your body, filtration simply is not enough anymore (see my eStore for my favorite home filtration system).
My guest today, Rudolf (Dolf) Zantinge, is a hero of mine and an expert in the fields of data mining, AI, IT and Traditional Chinese Medicine. His fascination with the relationship between light and water intensified when his independent research team observed water’s intelligence and sensitivity to electromagnetic forces. They noticed a declining coherence in our planet’s water and the effects of this phenomenon on the mental and physical wellbeing of all life forms. Dolf’s company created the Analemma Wand as a solution for this newly discovered problem… and since using it, I swear my body looks and feels better than before. Dolf’s independent research has shown that properly aligning your water molecules to ensure coherence can reduce your body’s age by between 2-12 YEARS. The Analemma Wand harmonizes the two hemispheres of the brain to enhance intuition and reduce anxiety while restoring our intuitive, instinctual and knowing senses.
And guess what? Listeners of Awakening Aphrodite have a discount on this amazing device! Just visit analemma-water.com and use the code “fitamyTV” at checkout. I promise you’ll love it!

209. Fast Friday: Athena and The Sirens of Goddesses and Sirens
What is the role of temptation in your life, and how do you relate to this beguiling force?
Are you steering your life from your mind, or your heart?
Today's Fast Friday is an interesting mix of both staying true to the established path and veering towards the heart's true desires. This episode is a fourth reference of Stacey Demarco's Goddesses and Sirens oracle cards, which are beautifully illustrated by Jimmy Manton. We will be learning about two iconic feminine forces: Athena, the goddess of strategy and wisdom, and the Sirens, the feminine forces of temptation.
The lessons these goddesses have to offer us are essential for finding clarity on where we are headed in life. Athena drives from the mind and uses foresight and strategy to attain Her desired goals. The Sirens, on the other hand, draw sailors away from the planned path and into the watery depths of Their kingdom.
We often hear of the positive aspects of Athena, and the negative aspects of the Sirens, but like everything in this world, these archetypes contain both light and darkness. They remind us that, as all goddess archetypes, their powerful essence is within us all, supporting the human capacity for great compassion and wisdom.

207. Connecting with Planetary Energies, Cycles and Ancient Goddess Cultures with Maria Wheatley
In our stressful, fast-paced culture that focuses primarily on physical reality, subtle energies are often shrugged off due to their immaterial nature. We no longer commune with the moon, the sun, or the powerful earth cycles that once guided human societies.
But the ancient people who miraculously built structures such as Stonehenge, Sacsayhuaman, the Puma Punku, the Great Pyramids and more... THEY were in tune with these ancient forces of nature.
Will we ever understand the depth of their wisdom and capabilities?
Maria Wheatley is a second-generation dowser who is a leading authority on the geodetic system of earth energies. She was taught how to decode and divine the land by her late father, Dennis Wheatley, who was considered to be one of the UKs top Master Dowsers.
In this episode, you will learn practical tips that will help you reconnect with your sacred feminine nature, the subtle energies of the Earth and other planetary structures as well as the ancestral people who know so much more than we do. We discuss...
- What we can all learn from sacred sites
- How to detect earth energies
- The science of earth divination and how to harmonize our lives with it
- How to tap into the electromagnetic field of the earth and how it can change our physical body
- The definition of alchemy
- The history of magic.
If you're fascinated by ancient power spots, temples, pyramids and culture this episode is for YOU! And if you want more on these topics, I highly recommend Awakening Aphrodite Episode 161. Moon Energy: Uncovering the Biological, Cultural and Metaphysical Significance of the Lunar Cycles

206. Fast Friday: Embracing Your Feminine Power on The Heroine's Journey
I have a question...
Where are the heroines?
They're out there, but why aren't we hearing and learning about them and their stories?
This question is a big part of my "why" behind the Awakening Aphrodite podcast. I NEED heroines and feminine role models to inspire and uplift my path to becoming all of who I am, and I believe we all share that in common!
I am THRILLED to announce my upcoming online course on the four primary stages of Womanhood and the archetypes that guide each step. Feminine wisdom, guidance and power is medicine for the soul of our society and bringing Her to you is a true gift!
In this episode we will explore...
- The monomyth of the Hero’s journey and how differs from the Heroine’s Journey
- The 8 stages of the Hero’s Journey - a term coined by Joseph Campbell.
- A passage from “As Above So Below: Paths to Spiritual Renewal in Daily Life” by Ronald S. Miller that describes the challenges women face when tasked with fulfilling the typical Hero’s journey
- A new path for women to follow that leaves them feeling fully balanced and whole.
If you’ve put aside your passion for integrating spirituality, creativity, intellect, sexuality and intuition into your life, this episode is for you!

205. Attracting, Raising and Keeping A Savage Gentleman With Josh Tyler
What is a Savage Gentleman? How can one embody an oxymoron?
Well, according to Josh Tyler, this is the ideal state of Man... the consistent cultivation of both aspects in an effort to reach his highest potential. Josh, in his own words, is a man on a quest to reach his full potential and help others do the same. As a school teacher turned professional fighter/amateur survivalist, his wild and varied experiences led him to co-found Savage Gentleman. Like the company's namesake implies, he is a walking juxtaposition of this dichotomy of masculinity. As a husband, father, fighter and philosopher, Josh continues to explore and improve upon both aspects and encourages all men to do so as well. You can find Josh's amazing offerings at https://savagegentleman.com.
I can't wait for you to dive into this episode! We cover many essential topics including the notion of "toxic" masculinity and why it fails to describe men, the difference between sensitivity and vulnerability, the need for positive role models, and what Josh believes men want women to know.

204. The Metaphysical Nature of Water as an Expression of the Divine Feminine with Isabel Friend
Most of us probably know our bodies are made of approximately 70% water by volume, right?
Well, on a molecular level, water actually makes up 99.99% of what we are!
So, with that in mind, we can deduce that, logically, the water we take in is the single most important aspect of our health.
And yet tap water is filled with toxins, reverse osmosis depletes our minerals, and most of the fancy waters available for purchase at the store have been sitting in plastic and their origins are completely foreign to our bodies.
So, what are we to do?!?
My guest today, Isabel Friend, is an international ambassador of Water, public speaker, and educator. As a student, servant, and steward of Water, she seamlessly blends science and spirit into a comprehensive cosmology of Water wisdom. Spanning the practical insights of health, hydration and biology, to empowering tactics for Watershed guardianship and ecological activism, to the esoteric and subtle insights of ancient indigenous Water wisdom, to the heady scientific discoveries of cutting edge Water research, Isabel's offerings are as multifaceted as Water itself. She has taught about Water throughout the US, Canada, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Bali, Mexico and Thailand. Isabel is deeply devoted to helping YOU embody the empowerment that is inherent in being a body of Water, living on a body of Water. Because Water is life, and life is sacred.
If you want to learn more about the magical properties of water, I highly recommend Episode 88 on Awakening Aphrodite: The Molecular Coherence Of The Fountain Of Youth: Aligning With Nature Cycles, Subtle Energies And Divine Forces With Dolf Zantinge's Analemma Water.
You can try out the Analemma Wand for yourself with my special discounted offer code at my eStore! I use it every day, and I firmly stand by my belief that it is an essential tool for comprehensive wellness and true health.

202. Tired but Wired? Healing the 21st Century Stress Syndrome of Adrenal Fatigue with Kristen Files
Is feeling "tired" and "stressed" your normal?
Have you lost your creative spark and zest for life, but can't seem to pin down the root cause?
James Wilson famously dubbed adrenal fatigue "the 21st century syndrome" because our system glorifies work and machine-like output while devaluing the true needs of our human bodies. We crave nature connection, sunshine, rest, play, creativity and physical movement but paradoxically live in a system that follows the laws of production over intuition.
Well, today you'll hear all about the consequences of this lifestyle! Kristen Files, my guest today, is a functional nutritional therapy practitioner and master restorative wellness practitioner who is board-certified in holistic nutrition. She gives us a comprehensive introduction to the adrenal glands, the HPA axis, the hormones that govern our bodies at different stages of life (hello, menopause!) and simple tips for healing hormonal dysregulation. She is a living example that her integrated approach truly works! Kristen's contact information amazing resources can be found at www.forestcreekwellness.com.

201. Fast Friday: Kuan Yin and Hecate of Goddesses and Sirens
How do compassion and wisdom show up in your life?
Who are the Divine Feminine beings behind these good forces, and what are their shadow aspects?
This episode is a third reference of Stacey Demarco's Goddesses and Sirens oracle cards, which are beautifully illustrated by Jimmy Manton. We will be learning about two feminine icons: Kuan Yin, the goddess of mercy and compassion, and Hecate, the goddess of the Crone/wise woman and the underworld.
The lessons these goddesses have to offer us are essential for tending to ourselves and others with kindness, courage and fortitude. Kuan Yin reminds us to live with a gentle heart and consider another person’s point of view and choose connection over separateness, while Hecate urges us to examine our darker aspects and trust that our path is illuminated from our light within. These goddesses represent two of the most beloved and feared faces of the Divine Feminine and remind us that, as all goddess archetypes, these powerful essences are within us all, supporting the human capacity for great compassion and wisdom. ENJOY! :)

199. Moving into Higher Consciousness and the Golden Age with Astrologer Marilyn Dumont
Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately, or tapped into the low-level buzz of anxiety in the air?
No doubt we are all feeling a collective "buzz" with all the things happening in our world at this time and I'm sure you, like me, are trying to make sense of it all. It is indeed The Great Awakening my friend, and I sure am glad that you're here with me today because I've got the perfect guest to help us try to navigate our way.
My long time friend and world-reknown astrologer, Marilyn DuMont is back on the show and she shares some fascinating insights into these unprecedented times. Please be sure to check out her other two appearances on Awakening Aphrodite:
On today's show, we talk about what's going on with our current perception of time and in particular, why we all feel like it's running away from us faster than ever before! Marilyn also warns us of the fruitlessness of relying on goals or linear timelines as we leave sequentially behind us in the 3rd dimension and we review the 12 Steps to Self Care, the Hopi Prophecy as well as the astounding astrological events coming up in 2024.

200. Modern Masculinity, the Power of Choice and the Importance of Having a Dream with Paul Chek
Welcome to the 200th Episode of Awakening Aphrodite with Amy Fournier!
I wanted to take a moment to THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU for being here and for walking this path with me as we learn and grow together. I just want you to know that I think of each of you every time I sit down behind the microphone and your emails, direct messages, reviews, comments and shares truly keep me going...so THANK YOU! I hope to meet you live and in-person one day soon but until then, onward we go! :)
What would your life be like if you were fully conscious of your unconscious patterns?
Now that is a profound question - one that we may only begin to answer after years of self-exploration and openness to accepting and embracing ALL of who we are.
Today's conversation with the legendary Paul Chek begins to shed light on the present circumstances of society, masculinity, femininity and the consequences of generations of unhealthy physical and mental habituation. We talk about the great archetypes of our time and how the Feminine and Masculine have been twisted by over 3000 years of monotheistic patriarchal religious dominance. Paul teaches us how this societal programing has caused emotional wounding within us that leads to projecting, abuse and ultimately, the idea of the "toxic" polarities. We also dive into the famous experiment of Pottenger's cats and its ramifications on society's anxiety and confusion today. Paul also offers priceless wisdom for confronting our hurtful unconscious patterns and key strategies for healing and living the life of your dreams.
This is a powerful one, my friends! If you want more Paul Chek, be sure to give Episode 100.

198. The 24 Hour Body Clock: Getting In Sync With Your Natural Rhythm
Do you find yourself waking up at the same time every night?
Or are there certain periods of the day during which you feel tired, irritated, energetic or more emotionally vulnerable?
Our lives, like our world, are in a constant state of ebb and flow. The Organ Body Clock is a dynamic tool created by Traditional Chinese Medicine to track these daily energy cycles. This holistic tool also relates organ energy (or Qi) peaks with certain hours of the day and night.
In this episode, we will discuss the theory of the Organ Body Clock and how it works. We also explore the bio-symbolism of our organs, or how each part of our bodies expresses certain emotions and shadow aspects of ourselves. The Organ Body Clock is a true tool of holistic health and offers us an amazing opportunity to cultivate enhanced communication relationships with our bodies.

195. Spiritual Evolution and the Dark Forces Controlling Our Consciousness and Future with James Tunney
So... what is this "Great Awakening" we are hearing so much about?
Friends, you know we always go DEEP on this show but today we go even deeper!
Each of the above questions, and more, are thoughtfully pondered, debated and answered in today's provoking conversation. My guest, James Tunney, is a living mystic and a prolific painter, poet and author and a leader in the AI and globalism space. We have a fascinating and extremely important conversation about the state of the world, globalism, the insidious shadows that apparently are behind the curtain drawing the strings and, most importantly (!), the strength of the human soul to resist evil and hold steadfast in the face of spiritual warfare.
So let's all put on our Big Girl and Boy Pants and courageously dive in so we can be part of the solution to protect our freedom, our autonomy and our beautiful planet!
As James shares: "My non-academic writing is in a wide range of categories, both fiction and non-fiction but although the range might appear wide in its scope, they are all linked by two themes. The first is the idea that individuals are primarily spiritual beings that must evolve and be spiritually self-aware of the nature of consciousness. The second issue flowing therefrom is this: the individual must recognize that they are prey to forces which seek to dispirit them and control their consciousness. My books are all united in their concern for the primacy of individual spiritual freedom of the human person and the threat of our destruction and deconstruction by the scientocracy."
Please check out James's amazing art, books, poetry and more can be found at jamestunney.com

194. Fast Friday: The Forgotten Herstory of Women as Priestesses & Spiritual Leaders
Did you know that we only have access to an estimated ONE PERCENT of all documented ancient historical traditions and spiritual practices?
Stories and fables are much more convincing when there's no evidence to contradict them...
Which is exactly why the Christian church destroyed ancient libraries, appropriated pagan holidays and gods and made it their global mission (literally) to subvert all pagan and indigenous cultural, spiritual and religious practices. Conveniently, the obliteration of pre-Christian artifacts, particularly in Europe, eliminated nearly all trace of female participation in religious traditions and spiritual leadership.
The Way of the Priestess by Dr. Sarah Coxon helps us patch together the little evidence we do have of ancient priestesses, powerful female oracles and even poets who were once the respected bearers of connection between society and the divine. I hope this quick dip into the forgotten herstories of women as spiritual leaders brings you a breath of fresh perspective and adds a bounce of confidence to your step :)

192. The Evolution of Human Consciousness: Romance, Resonance & Raising the Feminine Mind with Rudi Verspoor, Part III
Do you ever feel like you're missing part of yourself?
Humans are constantly on the lookout for their dream mate, their twin flame, their other half.
What is that about? Why are we not "whole" to begin with?
In this third and final episode of my esoteric series with Rudi Verspoor, we will explore the great polarities of life: the forces of love, resonance and attraction that power our universe. Rudi teaches us about the true origin of consciousness from ancient scriptures, how the law of attraction differs from the law of resonance, what our current society's gender dysphoria is all about, and why being heathy is the only way to distinguish illusion from reality and achieve self-actualization. Rudi will also let us in on the #1 sign that you are existing as a programmed ego structure and not your TRUE self.
This one’s deep, my friends! Buckle in and get ready to understand your world in a COMPLETELY new way!
Rudi Verspoor is the Dean of the Hahnemann Center for Heilkunst and Homeopathy and has been studying and practicing homeopathy, Heilkunst, and Romantic Science Healthcare for more than two decades. He has extensive clinical experience that has resulted in the ability to identify and remove underlying causes preventing optimal health and wellbeing, particularly those relating to complex and chronic cases where other health professionals and modalities have failed, including allopathic, functional and holistic health professionals! He has written several books and has shared his knowledge lecturing in many countries around the globe. From 1993 to early 2001, he served as the Director of the British Institute of Homeopathy Canada. Seeing the need for more comprehensive education and training in Heilkunst, he established the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst and the School for Romantic Science and Healthcare.

196. Reconnecting with the Cosmos and Our Ancestral Lineage with Ritual Goddess, Strega and Initiated Diviner Theresa Dintino
How do you connect with the divine?
Do you dream? Meditate? Do you...contemplate trees?
We each have our unique way of relating with the spiritual world through our individual belief systems and personal cosmologies. Theresa Dintino, my amazing guest today, regularly interacts with elemental beings, Earth, cosmic entities and ancestral lineages as a practitioner of the Dagara tradition of divination from West Africa.
In this episode, Theresa shares essential advice for those who want to develop their relationship with the divine, her ways of maintaining spiritual connection and the importance of practicing under the law of reciprocity. We discuss dark energy and how to address it, feminine fierceness and the collective need to restore our connections to our spiritual lineage.
For more than 30 years Theresa has studied and practiced an Earth-based spirituality. In 2011, she was initiated as a diviner in a West African tradition. She currently helps others reclaim their personal medicine lineages through her divination work. Her magnificent work can be found at ritualgoddess.com. Theresa is also a steward of stregatree.com and the co-creator of nastywomenwriters.com. Theresa's resources are INCREDIBLE and I highly recommend checking them out!

197. Fast Friday: Qetesh & Persephone of Goddesses and Sirens
Do you make your own pleasure a priority?
Have you learned to embrace the ever-expanding-and-folding cycles of life?
In today's episode, I will reference Stacey Demarco's Goddesses and Sirens oracle cards, which are illustrated by Jimmy Manton. We will be learning about two feminine icons: Qetesh, the Sumerian goddess of pleasure, and Persephone, Greek goddess of cycles.
The lessons these goddesses have to offer us are fundamental to cultivating contentedness and peace in this lifetime. Qetesh urges us to actively seek and become aware of the obstacles to our pleasure. Persephone invites us to go with the flow and live in harmony with the cycles of life. How do these gentle reminders feel in your body? Are you open to inviting pleasure and cyclical energy into your life in a small or substantial way?

191. Fast Friday: Helen of Troy & Joan d'Arc of Goddesses and Sirens
The truth is, everything has a shadow...even the "pure" concepts of beauty and bravery!
How can we learn to embrace our shadows and integrate their wisdom into our lives?
In today's episode, I will reference Stacey Demarco's Goddesses and Sirens oracle cards, which are beautifully illustrated by Jimmy Manton. We will be exploring two historical feminine icons: the beautiful Helen of Troy and the brave Joan of Arc.
The historical accounts of these two women are mired in tragedy, and yet they continue to resonate through time and space as icons of beauty and faith. Helen of Troy was caught in an illusion of beauty that became more powerful than herself, and Joan of Arc's devout faith and audacious bravery became her downfall. Their stories remind us that beauty and faith can be easily misused and misinterpreted in their extreme forms.

190. The Amazons: Honoring The Warrior Women of History and the Divine Warrior Goddess Within
You know about Wonder Woman, right?
Did you know that Wonder Woman, also known as Princess Diana, is a character whose origins derive from a real historical group of fierce warrior women, the Amazons?
Today I will introduce you to the Amazon women, the goddess-worshipping tribes in North Africa, Anatolia and the Black Sea area. You will learn about the contested origin of their name, where the lived, how they thrived and some of their unforgotten feats, rituals and customs.
I will be referring to Barbara G. Walker's "The Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets," an impressive sourcebook that focuses on mythology, anthropology, religion, and sexuality to uncover precisely what other encyclopedias leave out or misrepresent.
This episode is a reminder that the Divine Feminine is not all pretty, soft and cuddly... She is in fact also a warrior guided by Truth: a fierce protector and force of nature with unmatched endurance and inner strength. She is the heroine within us, the beautiful and fearsome mama bear, the vessel of life, beauty, art, truth and all the things worth living for! Let's never hesitate to connect with that fierce warrior spirit within us when we need Her!

188. Fast Friday: Messages from the Divine Feminine Oracle of the Black Madonna and Freya, Part IV
Welcome back and happy Friday!
As it so happens, today we will be talking about the Norse goddess Freya, Friday's namesake!
But first, we will delve into the symbolism, significance and rich history of the Black Madonna. Also known as "Our Lady of the Hermits," the Black Madonna represents the power we all have to emerge from the darkness transformed, and the wisdom we can only accrue when we go through the often painful fires of transformation. She may represent a new awareness or consciousness towards the earth and our bodies and Her energy is very active in the collective consciousness right now. Can you feel it?
Now, back to our powerful Freya, the Norse goddess associated with love, beauty, fertility, sex, war, gold, and "seiðr," or "magic for seeing and influencing the future." Freya supports our intuitive sense of discernment, which allows us to discern the most life-giving choice in each moment. Her message is: "I spent my time wisely, and I only say yes when it is a holy hell yes!" Do YOU know the difference between a small yes and a HOLY HELL YES? You are a priestess of your own fate. You get to choose the life you want and this happens by being fierce and warrior-like about what you want to say yes to!
This is Part IV of a multi-part series on figures who represent divine femininity featuring the Divine Feminine Oracle Cards by Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Master of Divinity and profound feminist theologian, Meggan Watterson.
Like the powerhouse female icons and goddesses discussed in Episode 163, Episode 166, and Episode 176, the Black Madonna and Freya are two earthshaking embodiments of the Divine Feminine that all women need to be aware of because doing so can help tap into their abilities and essence within OURSELVES. These figures represent The Feminine in powerful, dynamic yet unique ways that are often not depicted in mainstream narratives. Remember: the Divine Feminine energy within us all is a force that can be as powerful as a tsunami or as soft as a lullaby. I believe the trick to embodying Her energy is to have the discretion to know WHEN the right time is for tapping into a selected aspect of her many faces and when to express more of the Divine Masculine in you - not an easy task I know! But don't worry, I'm here to help and that's what this show is all about! :)

187. An Everyday Person's Guide to Plant Medicine with Daniel Hannah
No doubt plant medicine is currently undergoing a massive revival, and for good reason! Modern society, medicine and even science are just now realizing the legitimate, profound and life-changing effects of these magic elixirs provided to us by Mother Nature.
Yet something that provides such potentially powerful psychoneurological effects doesn't come without concomitant risks. Most likely you've heard of a story or two of someone who has experienced unwanted effects while engaging in their use.
In today's show, we cut to the chase and address what the the average person needs to know about plant medicine and we ask the question if plant medicines can help improve the quality of life for either us or perhaps someone we know so we can make an informed decision. So whether you have experience with their use or if you're simply psychadelic-curious, this conversation is for you!
My guest today is Daniel Hannah who is an expert on facilitating medicine journeys for people. He gives it to us straight up and shares his understanding of plant medicine as a way for us to heal from the inside out. Some of the key things discussed include what to look for in a plant medicine experience, how to cope with bad trips and why they happen, what it's like to engage with spiritual entities and navigate the energy plane, the contagiousness of energy and how to integrate plant medicine lessons into your everyday life.
Daniel Hannah is a life coach from Australia who shares that he was very depressed and on the brink of suicide before experimenting with plant medicines. Upon gaining new access to his subconscious and the spiritual plane beyond with the aid of these powerful medicines, Daniel found his way back to mental and spiritual wellness. He has embraced the nomadic lifestyle and spent the past 5 years living in Vietnam, Mexico, Guatemala, the US, Brazil and Ecuador. He is currently residing and working at a shamanic healing center in the Andes where he supports others on their healing journeys with Ayahuasca and San Pedro.

186. Aging Gracefully: Improving Lifespan and Health Span with Jason Prall
If you're listening to this podcast, it's likely that the topics of health and wellness are often on your mind. You probably keep an eye out for the latest superfood discoveries, health hacks and big "no-no" ingredients to avoid. You may even have tried a few of the life-changing products and tools that I use every day to support my energy and wellness.
But how often do you contemplate aging and death?
We generally avoid these topics in our culture due to the uncomfortable reminder that life is finite. In today's conversation, Jason Prall shares how he's sought out these realities head-on in attempts to understand how people around the world live, age and die. How you live now will determine how you live later, and though we DO all age (if we're lucky!) and die, there are proven ways to mature healthfully and gracefully, manage biological age, embrace discomfort and become clear on exactly what we are living for. Yes, Jason Prall is back on the show to teach us about the famous Blue Zones, hormetic stress and how to become a wise elder. His first episode on Awakening Aphrodite is one of my all-time favorites - if you missed it, check it out here: 180. Orienting to Ease, Unlocking Your Power by Expressing Your Feminine and Changing Your Reality with Jason Prall
Jason Prall is a health educator, practitioner, author and filmmaker. In 2018, his independent research and experience as a practitioner led him to create "The Human Longevity Project," a nine-part film series that uncovers the true nature of chronic disease in our modern world. He's currently working on his next film series that explores ancient methods of healing mind, body, and soul from indigenous cultures around the world. He's recently released his best-selling new book titled “Beyond Longevity: A Proven Plan for Healing Faster, Feeling Better, and Thriving at Any Age."

185. Fast Friday: Elevate Your Day with Tony Robbin's 10 Minute Morning Routine
What do you do first thing in the morning?
Do you hit the snooze button? Scroll through social media or check emails?
Do you have a morning routine?
Research has shown that a morning routine has the ability to increase happiness, reduce procrastination, boost confidence, and improve overall performance. The most successful people in the world recognize the benefits of this practice and stick to it no matter how busy they are. Your morning routine doesn't have to be long and elaborate to work its magic!
In today's Fast Friday, I will share an excerpt from Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss that describes Tony Robbins' personal morning routine. Here is the outline, which I will explain in detail:
- Feel gratitude for three things
- Focus on the feeling and presence of god
- Visualize three things you're going to make happen today!
I will also be sharing some personal anecdotes about the busy phases of life, the importance of taking a few minutes each day to connect with nature, and the difference between attracting your desired outcome versus utilizing the law of resonance.

184. Be the Author of Your Life! Destiny, Reincarnation & Karma with Rudi Verspoor, Part II
Do you ever find yourself struggling to comprehend the meaning of life?
Have you ever desperately wanted something but the Universe seemed to have other plans for you?
Rudi Verspoor is BACK on Awakening Aphrodite and ready to share his rich knowledge on awakening to purpose and healing the root cause of trauma, illness and misfortune. Our first conversation, Episode 175 is a must-listen with extraordinary insights on society's current issues and alternative healing modalities. In today's conversation, Rudi explains the laws of Karma and Reincarnation and how they apply to our lives in ways both practical and esoteric. Rudi also illuminates the important distinctions between needs and desires, belief versus trust/faith and victimhood versus autonomy and accountability. If you're seeking a deeper understanding of your life's significance, THIS is the episode for you!
Rudi Verspoor is the Dean of the Hahnemann Center for Heilkunst and Homeopathy and has been studying and practicing homeopathy, Heilkunst, and Romantic Science Healthcare for more than two decades. He has extensive clinical experience that has resulted in the ability to identify and remove underlying causes preventing optimal health and wellbeing, particularly those relating to complex and chronic cases where other health professionals and modalities have failed, including allopathic, functional and holistic health professionals! He has written several books and has shared his knowledge lecturing in many countries around the globe. From 1993 to early 2001, he served as the Director of the British Institute of Homeopathy Canada. Seeing the need for more comprehensive education and training in Heilkunst, he established the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst and the School for Romantic Science and Healthcare.

Do you get a stomach ache, headache or backache when you're under significant stress?
How does your body speak to you? Do you listen?
It's so easy to get lost in the cerebral logistics and intricacies of everyday life while losing track of what it truly feels like to be present in the body.
In this episode, medical intuitive and body whisperer Christine Lang will share her story of how she pivoted from lawyer to healer while navigating the powerful masculine and feminine energies of both worlds. We'll talk about the importance of asking questions, raising curious children and living to be "unique" as opposed to "famous." Christine gives key tips for connecting with your own spirit to become your own medical intuitive, and shares her unique meditation practice which allows her to commune with the energetic essence of herself, her clients and the universe. You'll even get a taste of what it's like to be Christine's client towards the end when she reads my energy field!
Christine is a former attorney who now works as a medical intuitive, with the ability to see a person’s energy and hear their spirit! In her classes and private sessions she acts as a translator for a client’s spirit, sharing guidance on how their body – and their life – got to where it is today. Christine helps you understand how your physical symptoms are frequently messages from your spirit, guiding you towards better relationships, a more fulfilling life, and complete healing. Christine has a thriving international practice, comprised of referrals from doctors, therapists, and holistic practitioners. She is the founder of Intuitive Energy Healing and has trained thousands of people to hear their spirit and to perform energy healing work.
