Vicky Vox is a profound healer, a performer, spiritual empowermentor, a psychic medium, and a sorceress. She has spent a lifetime inspiring others through her work in the arts, standing unapologetically in the truth of her gifts, and raising the vibrational frequency to one of love and acceptance in every single space she enters. We sat down to talk with Vicky about:1. Navigating a world that feels against you when your spiritual and physical bodies don’t align with the conditioned limitations of those around you2. The importance of decolonizing our therapeutic models in an attempt to provide safe spaces for those outside of the narrow landscape of who the western therapeutic modalities were designed to serve3. The ways that our society often attacks those who model a radical acceptance of self, for holding up a mirror to the ways we have been conditioned to reject the deepest truths of who we are4. How the integration of our masculine and feminine energetics can serve as a means to investigate and know ourselves more fullyVicky is pure magic in human form, and we are so excited to share her incredibly profound wisdom through this conversation.Connect with Vicky*** Website*** InstagramThis podcast is, for sure, Cheaper Than Therapy.If you want to connect with us personally and deepen your work, we just launched our private online Cheaper Than Therapy Community.

Traver counsels men, women, and couples on how to better understand men’s health and relationship difficulties. We sat down to talk with Traver about:1. Why we need to work to see that the current paradigm that insists that men are broken is itself broken2. The importance of a man’s ability to dance with his darkness to understand it - so that his darkness doesn’t lead him blindly3. Expanding the archetypes that men are able to embody beyond those of either the “Marlboro Man” or “The Sensitive New Age Guy4. How women are best able to support the men in their lives in standing in their power and embracing their capacity to healTraver provides such a vital perspective on what is required for all of us to heal our collective wounding around how we define masculinity, and we know you’re going to find his ability to model integrated leadership as inspiring as we did!If you love the conversations we’re bringing you as much as we do, please subscribe, rate and write a review so we can get the podcast out to even more people!Connect with Traver*** Website*** Instagram*** LinkedInThis podcast is, for sure, Cheaper Than Therapy.If you want to connect with us personally and deepen your work, we just launched our private online Cheaper Than Therapy Community.

We had an opportunity to do an Instagram Live with Dr. Shefali, three time New York Times best-sellers author, including her two landmark books The Conscious Parent and The Awakened Family. We sat down to talk about her most recent book, The Parenting Map, and:1. The importance of raising our children to be sovereign beings, rather than a possession that fit into our idealized parenting fantasies2. Shifting our parenting paradigms from being in control to being in charge, and what that tangibly looks like3. The difference between ego-enhancing boundaries and life-enhancing boundaries in parenting4. What to do when your parenting paradigm/style doesn’t align with your partners, and what that means for your childrenDr. Shefali is such a wise and lovely light.

Trauma Bonds and Addiction is part of a series where we discuss topics and/or questions submitted by our listeners.In this episode, we’re discussing:1. The longstanding concept that drugs, alcohol, and other types of addictions can be a way to feel more in touch with Self/Source and numb the feelings of inadequacy2. How safety in chosen relationships can initially come from a place of societal conditioning of needing/longing to be accepted and fit in, and how we can dig deeper to examine how our subconscious mind relates to others3. The possibility that all chosen relationships have some form of trauma bond stemming from our Original Wound that we are separate from Self/SourceIf you have a question or topic you’d like us to address, we would love to hear from you for our new Q+A series!
