Hello beautiful sisters, I have a new podcast episode for you today with goddess Ashly Rose Wolf of Femme Rising.

Here's what you'll find in today's episode: Releasing shame around sexuality and letting go of "numbing out" that is so prevalent in our culture Tips to ta...

When I first watched Lyla June Johnston's music video, "All Nations Rise, " it gave me chills and I felt an immediate calling to interview her for the Rising Women Leaders podcast. Lyla's video soon went viral on Facebook, with over 1.6 million views, providing a powerful platform for Lyla to share her message of compassion, peace and prayer during turbulent times. I spoke with Lyla just days after she returned from Standing Rock last month. I left this interview feeling filled with so much hope...

On Friday I made an instagram post for the women in my community who I knew were feeling the energies of what is happening at Standing Rock. As sensitive beings, we can so easily pick up on the emotions in the air around what is happening to our Mother Earth as well as the anger and emotions from the tribes protecting their water. I wrote this message as a reminder that we are all doing our part to heal the collective...as I believe how we treat ourselves is a valid place to start in healing our...

In today's book reading of Synchronicity I take you back to my first month in India where I recount my time at Amma's ashram in Kerala. Amma gives a speech on the beach at the Arabian Sea on how we can give back to the whole of humanity and collaborate between religions.

This past week I have been immersing myself in the life and teachings of Mary Magdalene. My friend recently brought out a pile of books she was giving away where I picked up The Magdalene Manuscript and began to learn more about the mystery and magic of her life. As life's synchronicities would have it, Mary Magdalene happened to be the topic of my next podcast interview with Faye Wylder . Faye has been such a positive force in my life, and brings so much light, love and encouragement to other w...

(Watch the full video about it here! http://kck.st/2dTEZpS ) I take you back to over six years ago where I found myself sobbing on th...

Last week I sat down with another Rising Woman Leader , Ashley Burnett , to talk about her journey to uninhibited leadership. One of the things I love about Ashley is that she can have a fierce get-stuff-done attitude at the same time as embracing everyone around her with so much love. I've been honored to get to know her over the past few months since she moved from SF to the countryside in Petaluma, CA and I can't wait for you to get to know her through today's show! "Dance is my lifeline." He...

When I imagine a woman fully empowered in her voice, I think of Noelani Love. I first met Noelani in Hawaii when dear friend Erica Jago and I led a workshop at her studio. Since then I've watched Noelani come more and more into her voice as a mantra singer, teacher and retreat leader. I've seen Noelani go for her dreams, speak up for her needs and stand for her beliefs. When we reunited in Bali, Indonesia last May for the Rising Women Leaders Bali Retreat , I wasn't even surprised when she took ...

A few months ago I sat down to be interviewed by Luna Love, the host of Ladies Who Lead Podcast. I had a great time sharing with her about my personal story of how I came to do the work I am doing today.

Karen Prosen and I were immediately drawn to each other when we first met in downtown Sebastopol, CA when she came to look at the office space I was renting at the time. Our connection deepened over the coming months when she joined my very first group coaching program for women two years ago and over time has become a dear friend, collaborator and teacher of mine as well. Like myself and many of us, Karen's path of healing and service began with the body. I invite you to pause today and listen ...

In this month of love and especially self-love, I decided to sit down with spiritual mentor, soul alchemist and dear friend, Jessica Sandra of Sacred Soul Cove. I felt called to bring light to the topic of "Reclaiming Divine Feminine Sexuality" after listening to a video interview with two female yoga mentors of mine. One of them shared about her story of sexual abuse in her life and how she was able to transform the experience into a source of empowerment. The week after, I then had a friend op...

I have a new podcast to share with you today on the topic of "Falling in Love with Yourself." I feel this is such an important topic because we really do need to value and love ourselves in order to live happy, fulfilled lives where we are able to give back at our fullest capacity and live up to our highest potential. Just an example from my life yesterday: I knew I wanted to sit down and record this podcast first thing, but I woke up in a terrible mood. I had a headache, my muscles were aching ...

She is a living example as to how when we stop hiding and embrace who we are, magic is really possible. In the episode we discuss: What it means to "Come out of the magic closet..." A manifestation practice for financial abundance Affirmations for mor...

Have you ever met someone where you just felt like you knew him or her even if you've never met before? This is how I felt when I met yoga teacher and retreat leader, Sarah-Jane Perman. Sarah-Jane wandered into a workshop I was leading at Burning Man and the whole time I kept wondering, "How do I know this person?" After the workshop, we chatted and found we had lots to talk about. I discovered Sarah-Jane was on a mission to open people's hearts around the world by leading goddess retreats from ...

This week on the Rising Women Leaders podcast, I interviewed yoga teacher and published author, Kimber Simpkins. I met Kimber when we were teaching yoga at the same studio in Berkeley three years ago. I instantly fell in love with her classes, her singing with the harmonium, and her passion of writing. Since I've known Kimber, she finished writing her book, self-published it, and then signed a contract to re-release it with a national publisher. Her book, Full: How I learned to Satisfy My Insati...

Welcome to the Rising Women Leaders podcast! “If you celebrate your differentness, the world will, too. It believes exactly what you tell it—through the words you use to describe yourself, the actions you take to care for yourself, and the choices you make to express yourself. Tell the world you are one-of-a-kind creation who came here to experience wonder and spread joy. Expect to be accommodated.” ~ Victoria Moran It's time to celebrate all we are and all we came to do. I see an awakening in w...
