The Unschool by Andi Alleman

Wonder what it’s like to have your first spiritual encounter with an angel in your grandmother’s bedroom when you’re just a babe? Or how growing up with women who could heal your ails via kitchen concoctions and magical garden ingredients will shape you? In this episode I’m interviewing Spirit-led Guide and Wellness Educator Shydeia Caldwell, and she's taking us to the school of ancestral healing. We discuss Shydeia’s process of guiding women into “self initiation” - a ceremonial practice designed to support women in accessing their inner power. We talk about the divine duality of surrender and inspired action, something I find Shydeia balances beautifully as she works to nurture her community.  Shydeia’s exploratory processes guide Black people in anchoring into the roots of their heritage and personal power. In our conversation she shares her offerings from spirit alchemy to working with altars and she gives us tips and on how we can begin to create our own ancestral connections.  Shydeia is the co-founder of Black Girl Magik and is actively crowd-funding and building a digital sanctuary which will weave spirituality and mental health through an entirely new approach to online wellness and education for Black women.

Can anyone learn how to channel messages from spirit? What exactly are timelines, and how do we hop along into the one we want to live in? In this episode I’m interviewing Astrologer, writer, artist and spiritual leader Jaliessa Sipress and we’re taking you on a quantum ride.  We discuss being in communication with the variety of energetic forces hanging around us on the day to day. Some people use the term "clairvoyant" as if it were synonymous with "psychic," but really clairvoyance is just one of the clairs we have access to. Jaliessa shares the clairs that she taps into the most, and I’m sharing my own experience with a recent clairaudient experience.  Jaliessa gives us strategies on how we can integrate into a 5D world, and assigns me holographic universe principle homework while sharing her take on quantum reality.  After this convo with Jaliessa, I’m wondering, will she be MY woo woo best friend?  Jaliessa is committed to making spirituality and self-care simple. She’s an expert in cultivating mental and emotional clarity that creates tractionable, lasting change in all areas of life. Jaliessa reminds us that we are a creator in this reality in which we live.  You can find out more about Jaliessa and her work at jaliessasipress.com.

A cosmic shift: in today’s clubhouse rooms, instagram lives, and socially distanced coffee shop conversations there’s a new lexicon slowly creeping in to the mid-day matcha break banter. You’ve likely heard it. Conversations about birth charts, planetary transits, crystals and meditation - once the domain of the woo, have become as normal to hear this stuff coming up in our day to day conversations. In this episode I share my journey into the mystical. How I found my inner woo. In 2014 I left my corporate job and moved to a tiny Mediterranean town. I was ready to let the universe guide me. I packed only the essentials — a small bag, my journal, a tarot deck, a moonstone and an astrology book, and then I booked a one way ticket. It was the most spontaneous thing I’d ever done. When I landed I quieted my inner freak out and decided to dive in. I studied the stars, spent my nights at the local Buddhist temple and my days meditating on the seaside. At first I felt crazy, what in the world had I done? However, over time, I developed a deep gratitude for the beauty of this new experience. After that I tried it all — every woo woo, mystical and spiritual practice I could get my hands on. I went to Shaman School in the Great Smoky Mountains, trained in Human Design (a system that combines principles of The I Ching, astrology, Kabbalah, the chakra system, and quantum physics), and more. In this episode I’m here to show you why you should give this stuff a chance, and how over the course of history - so many famous inspirational figures have secretly (and not so secretly) done the same. Every one of us has the opportunity to live grounded, experience-filled and fiercely magical lives. The big questions we all have: What’s next? How do I get there? How does personal transformation happen? How do I move out of doubt, overwhelm, and financial fear, and into living a life filled with success, confidence, abundance and creative expression? The answer to those questions is what this show is here for. We each arrived on this planet to do what fills up our soul and the world needs your gifts now more than ever. Mixing in a bit of mystical magic to your daily grind will help those gifts come to light. The practices shared in this episode have enabled me, personally, to experience a tremendous life shift.
