The Power Reclamation Podcast

What if our centering power has more to do with our heart than our mind? Learn more from 3 of the Revealing Wisdom Collective members in this fun and emergent episode!

Today, we’re exploring the intersection of mystery and neuroscience, what Lara J. Day and I call Magic. We explore the 13 Sacred Nights ritual, an ancient winter solstice practice: what it is, how it works, and how its magic can shift the way your brain and nervous system perceive the world.

What does it mean to rewild, decolonize, and reclaim our experience of pleasure and intimacy? How do we embody erotic sovereignty in our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the world?

This episode is about humanity’s place in the world and making sense of reality in times of tumult and suffering. I’ll also reveal what I’ve been cooking for you with my new program, Revealing Wisdom Revolution.

What does it look like when mega-celebrity spiritual teachers misuse their power and authority? And, when do these teachers' blindspots recapitulate the student's trauma - especially when the teacher doesn't understand the student's trauma response and instead blames the student for not doing the practices "right"?

This conversation with Nicola Amadora brings light to the reality that students of spiritual teachers can slip into being the recipient of dominating power dynamics of power-over with their teacher. This can cause the student to lose faith in their own inner authority and self-authoring trust.

How many of us learned that our value is crystallized only after we have achieved the esteemed social status, the perfect job, the perfect family, perfect body, or the perfect healthy lifestyle?

These pressures whisk us away on a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows one day we feel accomplished, successful, and worthy, and a day later, we collapse into depression, unworthiness and feelings of self-doubt and failure.

In this second episode of our two-part series, Rixt shares with us how she co-designed an integral leadership program for an executive based upon his desire to become a more integral leader through embracing more of his shadows.

This conversation with Rixt Kuiper and Rob Sinclair is about integral leadership and shadow work. How do we as leaders, consultants, healers, therapists and change-makers lead and love through exploring our personal projections and exiled parts of self?

What happens when stoicism and the learned behavior of compartmentalizing one's emotions and vulnerability stifle the individual who embodies them?

This phenomenon is called toxic masculinity an exalted archetype of what it means “to be a man”, which is reinforced through socialization and conditioning.

We explored how we’ve each navigated through the process of shifting from being an isolated exile to a Holy one.

How does the Vagal Nerve serve as one of our greatest inner allies, helping us to recover from activated states of threat, anxiety, fear, and helplessness? Patricia shares about this inner Jedi along with simple practices we can do to wield this power, and calm our triggers while driving or in the middle of a business meeting.

Many of us are taught we have to find the one core purpose for our expression in the world and if we can’t do that then somehow it means we’ve failed. That is NOT true. You’ll hear Sajit debunk this outdated paradigm and offer a new way to explore soul purpose.

Jen candidly shares with us about the vulnerability and liberation of living a life through radical self-honesty. She shares about her book and women’s program on Midlife Emergence, which she describes as "the process of coming into view or being exposed after previously being concealed."

Hualani, Marie, and I cover a number of topics on Sacred Sisterhood and the need to heal the collective shadows of feminine power out of balance and the power of when it’s balanced and serving healing for the whole.

Alexandra shares a tender story of her own power reclamation process, specific to navigating the shock and loss of her husband taking his life five years ago. She also walks us through her framework of the four phases of evolutionary consciousness.

In this first episode, I share inspiring stories gleaned from 20 interviews with others about their relationship to power.
