I believe conversations are an art form and can be incredibly potent medicine for transformation. The best conversations I’ve had are the ones that occur without an agenda, are filled with curiosity, and a deep listening for the invitation into a deeper inquiry where wisdom can often arise and nourish everyone who engages.

To me, this conversation feels like one in which my guests and I embark on a conversation that deepens, opens, and expands - nourishing all of us as we go with plenty of laughter and just the right amount of irreverence.

I especially loved this podcast episode because Taran and Lukas came without any agenda. These two men are wonderfully alive and deeply comfortable in their own skin.

We cover lots of ground:

How we were parented as well as how we parent.
How our appetite for curiosity and wrestling with questions grew over time.
How religion influenced us.
“Bowling outside the bumpers,” which we describe as being socially “acceptable” and acting within the boundaries of society.
How Taran and Lukas describe their work in Chinese Medicine and what it’s about for each of them.
How they guide their clients to express coherence in the body.
Different forms of Chinese Medicine and how they each practice.
How Chinese Medicine differs and can complement Western Medicine.
Acupuncture as an avenue for healing.
Orienting ourselves to explore and embrace curiosity and mystery.

I share my own story written the night before as I sat with my daughter called “Advice from a Caterpillar” and how it relates to everything we were exploring.

Taran Rosenthal is a dad, Classical Chinese medicine practitioner, lifelong mover, and co-host of the Apricot Jam podcast. He is endlessly curious and immensely grateful to be kin to all beings.

Lukas Wolf is an acupuncturist, herbalist, and martial artist in Brooklyn, New York. His days can pretty much be summed up as: punch, kick, heal, rinse, repeat. Both Lukas and Taran have their own podcast called Apricot Jam - be sure to listen!

Episode 95: Cherie Burton - Feminine Embodiment

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 00:15:00 -0400

How would your world change if you had an authentic, powerful connection to your body, to your soul, to the divine, and to others?
These times represent an embossed invitation with each of our names on it to go deep within to know ourselves more fully.

For most of our lives, we have been taught not to trust our bodies or our knowing. Therefore we learned to give our power to authorities such as educators, medical professionals, and those credentialed to “know better."

Reclaiming our own inner authority seems to be the message of these times as we learn how to unplug from the matrix and reveal our personal truth as chaos continues to swirl around us. This means that we also have to face the inner shadows of our human mess to feel into the truth that can only be found through our bodies and merging with our own physicality. Hello Fear!

There's an invitation to get intimate with the emotions and feelings that make us uncomfortable and learn to approach ourselves with love, compassion, and curiosity, and to befriend even the parts of ourselves that scare us.

Listen in as Cherie and I talk about what we are craving at a soul level and how these times beckon us to look beneath the surface and soul dive into our own inherent wisdom to discover our divinity through our beautiful bodies.

Cherie Burton is a mother of 6, author, international speaker, Women Seeking Wholeness podcast host, international business owner, and emotional restoration expert. She has worked in clinical mental health settings and now specializes in the science and spirituality of emotional healing and sensory integration, a "whole soul" approach. Cherie teaches the "new feminine leadership paradigm" – and has guided thousands of women worldwide to access their voices, creativity, power, and authenticity.

At the age of 53 and only within the past three years, Cherie came to understand how important embodiment is to her soul's journey.
Cherie was always taught that the body was a vehicle for temptation and to avoid her body at all costs.
She was taught that a woman's body is something to be feared, subjugated, and controlled.
Each person has the sovereign right to know themselves fully and to express themselves fully, even when their own truth isn’t aligned with yours.
Yoga and her love of knowing the divine feminine led Cherie to embrace her body and its wisdom.
Cherie shares personal stories of awakening and her love of helping to liberate women through the power of personal discernment, and to trust their bodies inherent knowing.

Episode 81: Dr. Valerie Rein - Patriarchy Stress Disorder

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 30 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -0400

When I first heard the term “Patriarchy Stress Disorder,” I had a gestalt moment. In an instant, it seemed, I experienced a revelation of magnitude in which I could see the formerly invisible structure that I had existed within and that had impacted me for my entire life, but for which I had no name.

Listen in as Dr. Valerie Rein exposes the system of oppression the majority of us have been impacted by, but few of us have a context or a name for. Hear for yourself why her work is being hailed as the most important work of our time.

Dr. Valerie Rein has discovered Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD) and created the only science-backed system for helping women achieve their ultimate success, happiness, and fulfillment by healing the intergenerational trauma of oppression. She holds an EdM in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University and a PhD in Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. Her bestselling book, “Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women’s Happiness and Fulfillment” has been heralded by Amazon reviewers as "the most important body of literary work of our modern times" and "perhaps the most important book of the century for women." Her cutting-edge programs have helped thousands of women shift from survival to thriving and master the game of "How good can it get?" in their work and personal lives.

PATRIARCHY STRESS DISORDER (PSD) is generational collective trauma or oppression that women have experienced in the patriarchy for thousands and thousands of years. It manifests in multiple ways but ultimately creates an invisible barrier to women’s ultimate success, happiness, and fulfillment.
Most of us are socially conditioned to be “Good Girls,” “A Good Wife,” and “A Good Mother,” and as long as we live a life of compliance, we don’t experience a lot of friction.
Most women are not in touch with our desires; we simply follow the tracks laid down by the Patriarchy in terms of what roles we can fill and how we can live.
However, once we can see the invisible barrier, we begin the “jailbreak” journey, where we start to reach for our authentic desires and access our inner liberation.
One of the most significant issues women face is not having role models of women living fully actualized lives who have stepped fully into their own sovereignty and feeling whole in all areas of their lives.
Women may have mastered their lives in one area but still have trouble relaxing, being playful, or considering themselves successful. They can’t identify what’s wrong or what’s holding them back, and this is when the psychology of PSD really begins to get interesting because this oppression lives in our nervous systems, and it must be released and expelled.
When women go from surviving to thriving, once this hidden system of oppression has been revealed, a daily practice and community are essential to keeping the work alive.
