The Return of the Sacred Feminine with Emily Fletcher | Ziva Magic Series, Ep. 3
What if the story we've been told about the divine feminine has been deliberately rewritten to keep us disconnected from our most potent creative force?
✨ Enrollment for the 2025 cohort of Ziva Magic is officially OPEN! Step into embodied manifesting, alchemize emotional blocks, and activate your inner magnetism. Join us now → https://makemagic.zivameditation.com ✨
Today’s episode is a compilation of some of the most profound moments from past episodes of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This? - compiled to help us all remember and reclaim the divine feminine.
You’re about to hear from an incredible line-up: Blu, Sarah Jenks, Layla Martin, Mia Magik, Zach Bush, and Aubrey Marcus. Together, they share raw truth, ancient wisdom, sacred rage, and deep devotion - guiding us to remember what we’ve forgotten about the feminine, and what happens when we reclaim her.
From Mary Magdalene being labeled a "whore" instead of recognized as the priestess who initiated Christ consciousness, to the systematic burning of wise women during the "Burning Times," this conversation reveals how feminine wisdom suppression has disconnected us from our creative, healing, and manifesting power.
💡 In This Episode, You'll Discover:
✨ How Mary Magdalene was actually a High Priestess who initiated Jesus into Christ consciousness through sacred union
✨ The real story behind the "Burning Times", how killing wise women was an economic strategy to create a compliant workforce
✨ Why ancient cultures centered priestesses as community leaders and why no one went to war without consulting them
✨ How the word "witch" originally meant "wise one" and why reclaiming it connects us to our spiritual sovereignty
✨ How sacred sexuality and creative life force are our most powerful manifestation tools
✨ The difference between "special relationships" (draining each other) and "holy relationships" (reflecting each other's divinity)
We explore the revolutionary idea that completing masculine and feminine energies within ourselves, rather than seeking completion through others, creates miracles, spontaneous healing, and transformational love.
This isn't about replacing the masculine with the feminine. It's about remembering that for thousands of years, humans worshipped the goddess and understood that the creative force birthing all life is sacred, not shameful.When we integrate both energies within ourselves, we stop draining each other and start reflecting magnificence. We move from fear-based creation to love-based manifestation.

85. Discovering the Truth About Mary Magdalene with Meggan Watterson
What if everything you were taught about Mary Magdalene, Christianity, and the divine feminine was deliberately erased from history?
✨ Enrollment for the 2025 cohort of Ziva Magic is officially OPEN! Step into embodied manifesting, alchemize emotional blocks, and activate your inner magnetism. Join us now → https://makemagic.zivameditation.com ✨
In this revelatory episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily dives deep with Meggan Watterson, Harvard-trained theologian, scholar of the Divine Feminine, and bestselling author of Mary Magdalene Revealed and The Girl Who Baptized Herself.
Meggan unveils the buried truths that were literally found in Egyptian caves. Ancient scriptures that reveal a version of Christianity radically different from what survived. These texts show Christ giving Mary Magdalene secret mystical teachings, women in positions of spiritual authority, and a path to the divine that runs through the body, not around it.
💡 In This Episode, We Explore:
✨ Why Mary Magdalene was never a prostitute and how that lie served patriarchal power structures
✨ The Gospel of Mary and other "lost" scriptures that were deliberately buried in the 4th century
✨ How the erasure of the Divine Feminine affects our ability to trust our inner knowing
✨ The difference between the "hero's journey" (external) and the "heroine's journey" (internal)
✨ Why salvation originally meant "to be made more alive" not saved by external authority
✨ Meggan's personal journey from religious trauma to discovering authentic mystical Christianity
✨ The revolutionary story of Thecla, the girl who baptized herself and refused patriarchal expectations
This conversation bridges 2,000-year-old wisdom with modern healing, showing how reclaiming these lost teachings can transform our relationship with spirituality, our bodies, and our own divine nature.

A Doctor's Transformation Story: What happens when a logical, science-minded optometrist discovers the power of embodied manifesting? In this inspiring student spotlight from the Ziva Magic Podcast Series, meet Danny, a father, husband, and eye doctor who literally wrote "I'm skeptical" on his intake form... and finished the course saying "I believe in magic."
Danny's incredible journey, from writing "I'm skeptical" to declaring "I believe in magic", proves that manifesting isn't just about positive thinking or vision boards. It's about becoming the version of you who is actually ready to receive everything you've been asking for. And that's exactly what happens inside Ziva Magic, the powerful embodied manifesting course Danny just completed.
💡 In This Episode, You'll Discover:
✨ How a busy professional with zero spiritual background learned to feel his feelings
✨ Why Danny calls this work "taking your brain to the gym"
✨ The moment he realized prayer could be practical, not just religious
✨ How embodied practices helped him show up differently as a father and husband
✨ Why he believes everyone needs spiritual practices—even the most logical minds

The Foundations of Manifesting with Emily Fletcher | Ziva Magic Series, Ep. 1
What if your brain has a built-in filtration system that's keeping you stuck in worry instead of manifesting your dreams?
In this special bonus episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, I'm taking you deep into the science behind embodied manifesting and revealing why traditional manifestation techniques often fall short.
🎉 Enrollment for the 2025 cohort of Ziva Magic is officially OPEN! Step into embodied manifesting, alchemize emotional blocks, and activate your inner magnetism. Join us now → https://makemagic.zivameditation.com
Most people spend minutes every day "worshiping their worries"—obsessing over what could go wrong instead of focusing on what they'd love to create. But there's actual neuroscience behind why this happens, and more importantly, how to rewire it.
I break down the reticular activating system (RAS), your brain's filter that determines what you notice in reality. When you're in chronic stress, this filter prioritizes threats over opportunities. But when you learn to regulate your nervous system first, then manifest from that grounded state, everything changes.
💡 In This Episode, You'll Discover:
✨ How your brain's filtration system keeps you stuck in worry patterns
✨ Why "we don't get what we want—we get who we are" and what that means for manifestation
✨ The electromagnetic power of your heart (5,000x stronger than your head)
✨ How to get your head, heart, and body into coherence for magnetic manifesting
✨ My favorite manifestation question: "What would I love?" and why it's so powerful
Plus, I'm gifting you an exclusive embodied practice from Ziva Magic—a complete guided visualization where you'll experience firsthand what it feels like to manifest from your whole being, not just your mind.
This isn't about positive thinking or vision boards. This is about understanding the frequency of your desires and becoming an energetic match for them through your body, not just your thoughts.

✨ How physical strength builds mental resilience, and why both are essential for manifesting the life you want
This conversation merges cutting-edge science with deeply philosophical wisdom that will forever change how you think about your body and its capabilities.
