Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 00:00:00 -0400

In this impactful episode of the Revelation Project podcast, I welcome author Patrice D'Amato, who shares her experiences and insights from her experiences as a nurse in an abortion clinic in her book, "The View from the Clinic”.

Her book explores the emotionally charged world of abortion and challenges the shameful and secretive nature of this conversation.

She brings humor to a difficult subject and shares her personal journey, including the intimate stories of women from all walks of life and every age and every socio-economic background.

We start by discussing the moral outrage that so many seem to be embroiled in - inspiring her to write the book. The episode delves into the history of abortion, normalizing it as women’s healthcare and its normalcy in other cultures. We also discuss the political and societal impact of restricting women's reproductive choices, and all of the ways we continue to miss the collective point.

This subject requires self-understanding, opposing perspectives, and is an invitation to embrace our exiled parts for personal revelation and wholeness. They also explore the experiences of clinic staff and the need for empathy and respect when discussing women's experiences.

Listeners are invited to reflect on their own moral outrage and judgments while discovering resources and support for further exploration. Don't miss this thought-provoking episode that challenges assumptions and offers hope for healing and transformation and please don’t forget to pick up a copy of her book because it’s a joy to read!

Episode 99: Ron Cecil & Daniel Penner Cline - Cutting for Sign

Cutting For Sign is a tracking term that is a metaphor for becoming aware of, finding, and following the way of one's happiness, balance, calling, or more our more whole and authentic self.

Ron and Daniel have quickly become two of my favorite people. I truly love to be with men who are remaking what it means to be a man in the world and who are exploring ways of being and relating outside the status quo.

Listen in as we explore:

Healing modalities and plant medicine can help us access deeper wisdom, play, and levity.
How much does our conditioning from childhood hardwire us to feel guilt and shame?
How do our inner child and other parts within work to keep us safe, and how do we integrate them and heal as we grow?
How does religious conditioning play a role in how we experience marriage, work ethics, and masculinity?
The middle path is an exciting part of our human evolution.
Teaching men to have access to magic and mysticism is important to Ron.
Leaning into the Divine has given Daniel a whole new understanding of love and co-creation.
Bringing play into our lives brings us closer to the divine.
Listen to how Ron had a magical opportunity to experience the truth of reciprocity on a plane while he was flying over Victoria Falls in Africa.
Daniel practices witnessing and acknowledging others- even men, to normalize appreciation and to forward the healing process.
How can we create more opportunities and rituals for expansion and appreciation?
Daniel is a survivor of childhood trauma. He regulates his nervous system by taking conscious deep breaths starting with exhaling and emptying his lungs.

So, have you cut for sign in your life? Have you sensed the small clues, details, intuitions, and serendipitous moments that have revealed the path to your truer self?

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.
