Patriarchal conditioning has not only robbed men of their empathy and emotions, it has taught women to endure and denied them their ability to express their sexuality and their sacred rage. Are women honest about what they really like and want? Or are they conditioned to only worry about the pleasure of others?

Continuing my series of topics under the umbrella I call Stifled No More, I'm sharing an on-going peeve: People who think they can scapegoat, marginalize and discriminate against others and still believe they're living a life of love the oneness. Spoken from the perspective of a Divine Feminine Goddess Advocate. We can never rationalize and justify discrimination. Love is agape, not infliction of suffering upon another.

I think its safe to say we all endure abuse to survive. That might sound like hyperbole, but that's because we have normalized so much abuse and exploitation in our lives. We say "Oh, that's just the way it is." But it shouldn't be. It is abuse, exploitation - maybe even in some people's lives they would call it a sin. Check out this segment and last week's segment as I discuss my trauma, healing and transformation that led to so much clarity and the writing of my latest book, Normalizing Abuse....

The collective is deciding Humpty Trumpty is falling off the wall. He's cracking and failing and we began to really notice with the coming of the sun and the Beneficence of Jupiter at Summer Solstice 2025! Give a listen. As we will it, so shall it be. The Collective Consciousness creates it's reality!

So many of us are saturated in abuse and exploitation. It can be coming from family, the workplace, religion, the media, police. It might be institutional. It can be mild or blatant, even life threatening. Even though it might not feel good to talk about it, we must. We must shed light on it, heal it, so the trauma doesn't affect our decisions moving forward and the trajectory of our lives. Check out my book, Normalizing Abuse.

Let's examine what our REAL wealth might be beyond the material and consumerism and what are our metrics to measure success. Might we measure our wealth and success differently in capitalism/patriarchy versus in a divine feminine oriented world?

So as MAGAs begin to wake up and realize the leopards are going to eat their faces too, should we expect some remorse for them being complicit in bringing the country its knees? Aren't we all tired of seeing Trump and people associated with him get a get out of jail free card?

Talking about being stifled no more. Whether signing a NDA, or being stifled by religion or culture, allowing ourselves to be stifled does not serve us. Have you allowed yourself to be stifled as well? Also, this is what the call "May Patriarchy Fall" looks like but we couldn't have imagined it. Wake up. Stand Up. Faith and prayer requires action. Our freedom and democracy depends on it.

I discuss in our anger-phobic culture, how women have been conditioned to avoid the normal feelings of anger, convinced it is a negative emotion, resorting instead to the passive-aggressive strategy of White Women's Tears which is more acceptable. Take a listen. Reclaim your sacred rage without guilt!

A true story of the Day Fires in California and the power of prayer, faith and trust in the Divine. At times I still find myself in a battle between my left and right brain, my analytical versus my intuitive self. Foremost analytical, I am sometimes slow to trust intuition and feelings, so for my own good, God/dess or my Divine Self, speaks to me in the language I am less likely to brush aside.

Spoiler Alert: This episode about captivity and abuse might be triggering. Do use self care. It is intended to have listeners ask the question if they are being held captive, traumatized, exploited or abused. Are they wearing blinders to abuse in their lives? Do we just accept or endure abuse and say "that's just the way it is." Are they looking for exit strategies? Do values of Goddess Spirituality offer an alternative?
