I SHARE A POEM CALLED RISE SISTER RISE.

Rise Sister Rise is from my second book of the same title. The poem "Rise Sister Rise" is a powerful call to action, encouraging resilience and inner strength in the face of life's challenges and urging people to embrace and rise above their hardships with courage and grace.

Nancy and I dive into the depths of shadow work and its transformative power. As I reflect on my own journey with her book and meditations, I’m struck by how essential this work is for unlocking our gifts and reclaiming the parts of ourselves we’ve disowned. Nancy shares her own experience of how a personal crisis became the catalyst for embracing shadow work, revealing how our shadow can create chaos when left unattended. She emphasizes the importance of telling ourselves the truth and recognizing how our shadow shows up, often in unexpected ways.

We also explore the relationship between shadow and gift, discussing how qualities we reject in ourselves often manifest in others, serving as mirrors for our own growth. Nancy’s insights into embracing both sides of ourselves—whether it’s being self-sufficient and needy, or a perfectionist and a mistake maker—highlight the importance of wholeness and integration. Her wisdom and personal experience shine through, making it clear that shadow work is not just about healing but also about reclaiming our full power and potential.

In this conversation, I had the honor of speaking with Yeye Teish. We explored the current state of the world and the importance of holding onto hope, even in challenging times. Yeye expressed her concerns about the rise of dictatorships and the threat of global control, emphasizing the need for spiritual activism. She spoke about the power of women’s intuition and our role in restoring balance to the world.

We also discussed the deep need to reconnect with nature and the feminine, and the importance of standing up for the Earth. Yeye shared simple rituals to honor water, reminding us of its sacred connection to life and spirituality.

Finally, Yeye invited us to support the work of the School of Ancient Mysteries and the Sacred Arts Center. This conversation was filled with wisdom and inspiration—may it resonate with you as it did with me.

In this profound episode titled “Finding the Gift in Grief,” I had the privilege of speaking with Danette May, whose journey through life’s extremes embodies themes of loss, resilience, spiritual connection, and the evolution of the self. Danette, a beacon of positivity with a compelling story, shared her deeply personal experiences with me, taking me from her idyllic childhood close to nature and animals to the heart-wrenching loss of her son, which profoundly transformed her life and purpose.

Danette recounted the intimate connection she has always felt with the world beyond the physical, a sentiment that has been deeply rooted in her since childhood. She shared vivid memories of her upbringing on a mini-farm, her early awareness of a calling to connect people with nature, and a profound sense of being known and loved by a higher power. Her narrative is a testament to the strength and guidance she has drawn from these connections, especially during the darkest times of her life.
