S4 E20: Through Nature's Eyes - Animal & Nature Communication | A Southern Dialogue with Madii Kasem

Madii Kasem is an animal and nature communicator; she communicates with both domesticated and wild animals, and all of nature including trees and plants. What an interesting conversation we had, I hope you join us as we chat about her experiences communicating with wild birds, pets, trees and other nature as well as the lessons she's learned and information that has been shared with her through these experiences. She also chats about being a nature communicator yourself!

OUR GUEST
Madii Kasem, Nature Communicator. Madii's mystical experiences began at age 5 when angels at the foot of her bed communicated telepathically and she knew, at that moment, there was more to reality than what was generally understood. She holds degrees in Comparative Religion and Judaic Studies and was initiated into Tibetan Buddhism’s mystical Shangpa Kagyu tradition. She has also studied with Canadian trance medium, Tola Haynes, Hawaiian kahuna, Morrnah Simeona and British angelologist, Angela McGerr.

In 2013, Madii was visited by a red-tailed hawk, raccoon, raven, squirrel and tree who each spoke to her spontaneously. It was as if beings of the wild were all conscious and inviting her into their conversations. Madii found the offer irresistible. Following a series of lessons with the hawk, Pristine Purity of Essence, she trained with Maia Kincaid at the Sedona International School of Animal and Nature Communication. Madii believes anyone can do this activity and has coined the phrase “heart-telepathy” to describe this way of communicating with nature’s creations. She tells her students, “If you have a heart; you can do it.”

S4 E18: The Modern Pagan Prayers Project | A Southern Dialogue with Lucia & Gwyneth

What is the Modern Pagan Prayers Project? In this episode, I talk to Lucía and Gwyneth about how they came together during the pandemic for this project, why pagan prayer is important, the use of poetry in prayer, and how they go about writing prayers. The first book of the project A Wound in Time, is heavily influenced by the pandemic, and we'll chat about that as well, and you won't want to miss the exceptional readings of 5 prayers throughout the episode by Imogen Smith.

OUR GUESTS
Lucía Moreno-Velo is a Pantheist who believes Pagan theology can contribute to the conversation on justice and climate change. She lives with her wife and their two children in Madrid, Spain.

Spiritually non-tribal, Gwyneth Box writes in many genres and is an award-winning poet. She leads workshops, mentors non-fiction writers and poets, and appears regularly at open mikes and on the radio.

Lucía and Gwyneth are both writers. Lucía’s day job is medical translator. Gwyneth does copywriting and commercial translation. But they are also both creative writers and met at the Madrid Writers Critique Group some 15 years ago. This led to them collaborating on several bilingual children’s books.

They mostly lost touch when Gwyneth moved away from Madrid and then to the UK. So it had been nearly 10 years of very sporadic contact when Lucía contacted her out of the blue in April 2020, asking her to use her poetry skills to help her with a blessing for those dying from Covid.

Lucía realised she still had more she wanted to say and decided to write a short collection of prayers - A Wound in Time - which focused on the pandemic. Again, she asked for Gwyneth’s assistance, but Gwyneth soon found that editing wasn’t enough - she needed to get her hands dirty and started writing for herself. And so it became a collaboration which has grown into the Modern Pagan Prayers project - three books and counting!

S4 E15: A Field Guide for Choosing a Professional Psychic | A Southern Dialogue with Corbie Mitleid

MANY incredible stories from personal experiences

Ethics and bad situations with psychics
The idea of the Elder & Apprentice; Boomers vs Elders
Charging for spiritual work

S4 E14: Numerology for Name Changes & Energy Shifts | A Southern Dialogue with Novalee Wilder

Novalee Wilder is an expert on Chaldean numerology and we chat about a lot of topics around numerology and the energies in our lives from the numbers around us. We discuss:

Why is numerology important?
How numbers related to other modalities
Using intuition in numerology
Pythagorean life path numbers vs. Chaldean numerology

How numerology is used in name changes

From twelve step programs to internationally acclaimed professional training, Novalee has explored personal growth techniques and the keys to illuminating the human condition through all her work. Yet, the years of training pale in comparison to the life -altering experience of changing her name with the help of numerology. Blown away by the potency and accuracy of this ancient spiritual tool, she studied it for years and is now an expert within the field. She is the founder of the Numerology School and she’s the host of the Numerology Podcast.

S4 E13: The Love & Pain of Twin Flames | A Southern Dialogue with Benjy Sherer

Twin flames y'all... intense love and intense pain in the same relationship. Benjy Sherer uses his own twin flame journey to walk us through an immense amount of information about twin flames in this episode, including:

• Benjy's personal twin flame story
• What is a twin flame?
• Does it have to be romantic or could it be friends?
• The twin flame energy frequency
• The Runner/Chaser dynamic
• Growing through the trauma of a twin flame relationship
• What the twin flame journey teaches us
• Divine Masculine & Divine Feminine involved in a twin flame relationship (NOT about gender)
• What can you be doing if you're separated from your twin flame?
• Should we even be focusing on twin flames?

OUR GUEST
There is a fine line between emotional awareness and spiritual awakening, and that is where Benjy Sherer thrives as a mentor and teacher. Guiding people to emotional mastery, Benjy bridges the gaps between psychology, spirituality and philosophy. Those 3 realms are all intrinsically connected in Benjy’s completely unique - and yet intuitively and compellingly simple - approach to self love and emotional mastery.

Growing up with a deep existential need for answers, Benjy’s academic background was in Philosophy and World Religions, but that academic search left him pessimistic at the soul level about our ultimate role in this universe and the purpose of life. It wasn’t until after a dark night of the soul and a spiritual awakening of his own that he was forced to dive more deeply into his own inner healing, in order to rediscover his true purpose and learn the skills, tools, and techniques that he teaches to clients today.

His overall approach is about “Feelings First”, referring to the notion that we can master our emotions directly, without the need for deep intellectual analysis, ultra-spiritual practices, or pharmaceutical medications. He teaches people how to connect directly with the emotions and sensations of their body - without fear, guilt or shame - and to allow these feelings to run through them so that they can be truly released. It’s about building emotional muscle, not seeking rational answers.

As he says, emotional healing is NOT an intellectual activity.

S4 E10: October Thirty-One & Celebrating the HoliDates with Children! | A Southern Dialogue with María Felicia Kelley

Author María Felicia Kelley introduces us to her children's book series, Celebrate the HoliDates, which were deeply inspired by her son Constantine. Constantine has trisomy 21, and the books were initially created as a tool to entertain and inform him about the connection between the calendar dates and fun holidays. Now they are a growing series of educational books that currently include "February Fourteen: 2/14" and our focus for this episode, "October Thirty-One: 10/31". Yep, this is a Halloween episode, y'all! We discuss soul cakes (there's a recipe for them in the book!), why including biracial and multiracial children and parents was important, her research into the holiday AND I introduce María to our very own celebration of Samhain!

OUR GUEST
María Felicia Kelley discovered her passion for writing as a girl growing up in the suburbs of Washington, DC. Earning a degree in broadcast journalism, from The Cronkite School at Arizona State University, María began her career in television as a writer and producer. She also has enjoyed time in front of the camera as a host and spokesperson. Today, she writes creatively with an eye toward children’s stories and educational materials. The pandemic of 2020 moved María to focus her creative energy, bringing long-planned artistic works to life. Wife to a proud Greek American and mother to their three sons, María lives in a Southern California household with strong male energy and an assortment of ethnic identities. As a tri-racial mix, including African, European, and Native American bloods, María taps into the traditions of many cultures. Through much of her writing, she explores the intricacies of her family’s racial heritage that is uniquely American. To learn more about María Felicia Kelley, visit her online at MariaFelicia.com.

S4 E7: Shadow Work & Witches - Emerging from the Darkness | A Southern Dialogue with Corinne Labita

What does tarot & divination have to do with shadow work? Turns out, a lot! Corinne and I talk about shadow work - what it is, our experiences using shadow work for personal healing, the "gold" in the shadow, and all those nasty emotions like shame that we hide. Corinne talks about her own shadow work around money, and we talk about our experiences growing up as empathic children. It gets grittier when we talk about how the shadow relates to racism in our society and the collective shadow work being done in the world today around ancestral generational shit still hidden in so many of our shadows. We also discuss why witches should care about shadow work, and how it relates to magick. Oh yeah, Corinne also gives us a delightful pickling recipe! Y'all come on in!

OUR GUEST
Tarot Card Reader Extraordinaire and Reiki Master Practitioner Corinne Labita likes it weird. When she’s not slinging cards, she’s researching metaphysics, listening to copious amounts of paranormal podcasts, and trying to find different ways to pickle vegetables. In her early 20s, Corinne gained an interest in Jungian psychology when working as an instructor in a therapeutic program for at-risk teenagers. There, she collaborated with therapists to implement different strategies that would help individuals interrupt thought/behavior patterns. Corinne has since taken that experience and used it to create different courses and offerings on a variety of topics. She has taught workshops on the joys of reading tarot, an introductory workshop about Shadow Work, and a shamanic journeying workshop designed to help individuals meet and work with their Shadows. Corinne is currently doing tarot readings for individuals, teaching tarot classes, and creating programs geared specifically for corporate offices to help companies meet the needs of their employees with a more holistic approach.

S4 E6: Being an Empath - Gift or Curse? | A Southern Dialogue with Tracy Gowler

Autoimmune expert and fellow empath Tracy Gowler is here to chat with us about life as an empath. If you've wondered whether you were an empath, or simply able to show empathy to others, we discuss the differences. By the end of the episode, you'll know whether you are an empath as well as the pitfalls of being an empath, our connection to animals, how to protect our energy, and what life is like for us. Is being an empath a curse or a blessing? Can being an empath lead to autoimmune disorders?? This episode is all things EMPATH, please join us!

OUR GUEST
Tracy Gowler helps sick and exhausted women over 40 with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis regain their energy and become Hashimoto's badasses. An autoimmune expert and functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, Tracy has experienced the debilitating fatigue, brain fog and complete loss of her quality of life because of autoimmune illness. She has asked the question you might be asking. Is it even possible to heal from autoimmune? But how hard is it really? Tracy says, maybe it isn’t as hard as you might think. How many of you know someone that has been trying to find solutions in the medical community? Do you know someone that is losing their quality of life?

By combining the skills from 20 years as a mechanical engineer, over 30 years as a project manager, 3 years as an FDN practitioner, Tracy has become a Sherlock Holmes of autoimmune. Realizing that there is a structure to the healing process, she has created programs that allow clients to take it slow and steady in format that allows clients to be successful. It isn’t a pin the tail on the donkey approach. It is deliberate and each step makes progress for her clients. She is completely passionate about what she does and is determined to educate as many women as possible on what it really means to be healthy.

S4 E5: Mystical Experiences with Death, the Soul & the Unexplainable | A Southern Dialogue with Will Rodriguez

The Skeptic Metaphysician's Will Rodriguez is here to talk about the intersection of science and the metaphysical world, as well as his own spiritual journey. Not only does he tell us about many of the incredible conversations he's had on his podcast, but we have some of our own interesting conversations around creating our reality, breaking soul contracts & soul groups, mystical experiences with death and whether evil truly exists. Y'all hang on tight for this one, I also share a recent breathtaking experience I had while holding space by someone's side at the moment of their death.

OUR GUEST
Will Rodriguez is the Executive Producer of a mental health podcast called Calm, Cool and Connected and host of The Skeptic Metaphysician, a show that explores metaphysics, spirituality and mysticism through a scientific lens. Having undergone his own personal mental health challenge over the past few years, he’s researched different modalities in an effort to find healing through any means, be they traditional or esoteric and through his own spiritual explorations.

Spending most of his career in the television industry, his story involves spiritual growth but not in the religious sense. Its more about learning how to be a better person, after spending many years fooling himself into thinking he already was.

Through his podcasts, he’s had a chance to dive into deep conversation regarding all things mental health, but also modalities including life after death, astral travel, energy healing, clairvoyance, past life regression, Tarot and meditation techniques.

As tensions rise, Elara finds herself drawn to the sudden, surprising freedom she’s been granted as a prisoner.

S3 E11: Practical Tips for Transforming our Money Mindset | A Southern Dialogue with Annette Schmidt

It's money week at Belle, Book & Candle! We talk changing our money mindset, wealth consciousness, and the need for shadow work around money in this episode with Annette Schmidt, a financial life coach. Annette gives some great advice to think about when spending that tax refund or any other windfall of money, as well as practical budgeting advice, intuitive spending tips, and even some ideas for helping kids develop their money mindset as early as 4 years old! Y'all come on in!

OUR GUEST
Annette is a financial life coach, real estate investor, and spiritual junkie with over a decade's worth of experience in the finance industry. She didn't start out as a financially savvy person, in fact it took her years of bounced checks, and paying an umpteen amount in interest and overdraft fees before finally finding financial success by changing her mindset and the way she approached money. In doing so, she's been able to pay off over $40k worth of student loans, $6k worth of credit card debt and started leveraging money to build wealth and create an abundance mindset, including real estate investing- all while making less than $100k/yr. Now Annette helps other women do the same by teaching them about both the art and science of money so they can break free from stagnant beliefs and money cycles that are no longer serving them allowing them to start creating the financial life of their dreams.
