Awakening Aphrodite

Loss, death and grief are inherent aspects of life on this beautiful planet. But how can we trust this cycle when the pain of losing a loved one feels like it will tear us apart? How can joy or hope coexist with this darkness? This week, I am honored to present Amelia Kinkade, a worldwide celebrity in the field of animal communication and one of my personal spiritual mentors. This show has been blessed with her appearance once before on Episode 96, which is all about how to nourish yourself, recognize intuitive messages and communicate with animals. Today we explore the topics of death and rebirth as I struggle with the loss of my sweet longtime companion, Charlotte. As a true animal communicator, Amelia shares beautiful insights into animals' roles here on earth and the intricate pattern they weave as they dip in and out of our lives. We also discuss tips for caring for elderly pets, the "naturalness" of the so-called supernatural, and what it means to truly relate with unconditional love. Amelia is a well-known figure who has appeared in various media outlets, including newspapers and television shows, such as The Ellen Degeneres Show and BBC News. She is particularly passionate about leading her annual Sacred Harmony Safaris in Africa and assisting organizations that rescue and protect animals such as tigers, elephants, cheetahs, penguins, and more. Additionally, she founded Amelia's Arcangel Society, a nonprofit organization that supports the education of children in rural Africa to help reduce poaching and protect endangered wildlife.

What makes a successful relationship?  In today's episode, I will be reading to you from “Ultimate Confidence: The Secrets to Feeling Great about Yourself Every Day” by Marisa Peer. This will be Part II of a multi-episode Fast Friday series inspired by Marisa, so stay tuned! The practice of giving and receiving love is laden with valuable (and oftentimes challenging!) lessons that compel us all to confront our deepest fears and unconscious mechanisms. This is Earth School, after all! Though each relationship - be it romantic, platonic, or familial - is beautifully unique in its own way, there are some well-defined red flags that we must recognize and avoid if we hope to build healthy relationships: Stop stonewalling Avoid contempt, scorn, mockery & superiority Avoid destructive criticism Steer clear of hitting below the belt Avoid defensiveness Stop referencing the past and past wrongdoings Understand the damage that results from threatening to leave the relationship Avoid the wrong roles in the relationships Avoid exaggerations and generalizations Don’t make your rules more important than your relationship Marisa Peer is a world renowned speaker, Rapid Transformational Therapy trainer and best-selling author. She has nearly three decades of experience as a therapist and has been named Best British Therapist by Men's Health magazine and featured in Tatler's Guide to Britain's 250 Best Doctors. Marisa uses her experience of treating clients including rock stars, CEOs, elite Olympic athletes, royalty and Oscar-winning actors to inform her life-changing speeches and lectures. She has been voted best speaker at numerous conferences including The Mastermind Group London and the Women in Business Superconference, Awesomeness Fest 2015 and The Royal Society of Medicine. In 2015, Marisa launched her Marisa Peer Method School, teaching her unique method for the first time to audiences in London, Canada, the US and Australia.

What if I told you that your dharma is stored in a great cosmic library, along with all that has been and all that will ever be? My previous conversation with Vanessa Lambert (check out Episode 145!) was so enjoyable and inspiration-packed that the topic took on a life of its own and we didn’t get to nearly half of the question I’d planned to cover! So, in today’s special episode, I ask Vanessa all about her experiences as a teacher of the mysterious Akashic Records. What is this cosmic library, and what does it feel like to access its information? Vanessa shares several mind-blowing realizations she divined from the Records both personally and for her clients. We also discuss what it means to be a lightworker, how to find grounding in your body, and how to be a clear channel for the Divine to work through. Vanessa has been a conduit for group and individual transformation for the past 30 years. As both a coach as well as a retreat facilitator, she offers a more holistic approach to health, fitness and spirituality rooted in her own insatiable pursuit of the World’s leading edge of healing modalities, whether they be modern or ancient in origin. Vanessa is the co-founder of Bee The Wellness and founder of Starseed Collective, both of which showcase her unique flavor and ability to cultivate community by creating dynamic, healing containers to facilitate groups and individuals who seek transformative change through holistic means. Vanessa and her husband host an incredible annual Bee Fest event (next scheduled for April 2023!), which YOU are encouraged to join with her gracious discount for Awakening Aphrodite listeners… are you ready for this? If you sign up for Bee-Fest Palmaïa and enter the word “awakening” at checkout, you will receive $500 off this event. It is a 5-day festival created for the spiritual, the seekers, the poets, and the dreamers…. You will bond with other incredible humans who are also ready to alchemize this experience into pure potential!

Friends, get ready for something that's going to change your life! I am so excited to share today's episode with you with my guest, Dr. Ibraham Karim, Egyptian Architect and Scientist (D.Sc./Dipl.Arch.-ETH, Zurich). Dr. Karim is the creator of BioGeometry which is the science of the subtle energies that is taking the world by storm and been a complete gamer-changer for me. In a nutshell, BioGeometry shows us how so many things other than just physical matter and what we can perceive with our 5 senses, can affect our life: things such as shapes, colors, numbers, angles and sounds. Dr. Karim takes us on a deep dive into the origins of creation, life force and the origins of the masculine and feminine forces. He also helps us make sense of our time-space perception and shares the all important "intellect of the heart" and gives some insight into what reincarnation REALLY is, plus the sacred power of the womb and how sex is a portal to the Divine....plus so much more! The ultimate goal of BioGeometry is to help us recreate the harmonizing and empowering balanced energy of sacred power spots (think the Great Pyramid, holy sites, etc.) in our everyday lives - this is very real and practical stuff friends - I have been an avid student of BioGeometry for years now and experience it's benefits directly EVERY DAY (as do my pets, plants, friends, etc...). And you can too! Purchase your own special energy harmonizing items for yourself and/or your home using my discount code "AMYFOURNIER" at https://amyfournier.com/biogeometry/ and you can check out my IG channel, @FitAmyTV to see all the various ways I use BioGeometry in my life every day! BioGeometry has become a part of my natural lifestyle and I am so very grateful to Dr. Karim and his team for bringing it  to the world.

If you want to be confident, ask confident questions. If you want a better life, ask better questions. Welcome back to Fast Friday! In today's episode, I will be reading to you from “Ultimate Confidence: The Secrets to Feeling Great about Yourself Every Day” by Marisa Peer. This will be Part I of a multi-episode Fast Friday series inspired by Marisa, so stay tuned! Marisa  is a world renowned speaker, Rapid Transformational Therapy trainer and best-selling author. She has nearly three decades of experience as a therapist and has been named Best British Therapist by Men's Health magazine and featured in Tatler's Guide to Britain's 250 Best Doctors.

In 2015, Marisa launched her Marisa Peer Method School, teaching her unique method for the first time to audiences in London, Canada, the US and Australia. The section I'll be reading in this episode focuses on how to silence your inner critic. To truly tune down that voice, we first need to understand why it's there. What purpose does the inner critic serve? We also must come to terms with the basic function of the mind, which is this: to answer questions.  The real transformation begins when we learn how to ask questions in such a way that our minds are set free to generate empowering and life-affirming answers.

Okay, so we each have these two "sacred polarities" within us. But what do masculinity and femininity really mean in a day-to-day context? How do we harmonize, or, more importantly in the modern day, IDENTIFY with these archetypal energies? Welcome back to the Sacred Polarities Podcast Part II, in which our amazing 6 guests (minus Josh this time!) get personal about the role of the sacred Masculine and Feminine in their lives. How does the modern perspective on masculinity and femininity challenge them, and how does it support their identities, values and commitments? We also get real about (our thoughts on) gender confusion, men's circles, breastfeeding, motherhood, anger... and a whole lot more. *THIS IS PART 2 of a 2-PART SERIES: Be sure to catch the rest of the conversation on Episode 139!

Are you interested enough in yourself to experience your unexplored facets, shadows and soul's yearnings? Today, my guest is Vanessa Lambert. I was referred to Vanessa by a friend of mine, Jared Pickard, whose expertise on regenerative and biodynamic farming is featured on Episode 98.

In light of the chaos, novelty and disjointed social connection of our time... how can we truly take care of ourselves? In this Fast Friday episode, I will whisk you back to an essential teaching from Marilyn DuMont, my esteemed guest on Awakening Aphrodite Episode 54, Understanding and Working with Planetary Shifts and Astrology in the New Aquarian Age and Episode 77, The Hopi Prophecy: Navigating Our Times with Confidence, Grace and Community While Stepping Into The 5th Dimensional Reality. Marilyn DuMont has practiced Archetypal Astrology for over 20 years and is known to incorporate AstroDrama and the psychology of the Soul in her very successful online private coaching practice. She now lives in Andrews, North Carolina where she also owns The Open Porch Metaphysical Gift Shop and Knowledge Center. The 12 Steps to Self Care are related to the message of the Hopi Prophecy, which you can read directly from my website here. The wise Hopi elders who carried this Prophecy use direct yet poetic language to share deep insight into our global present and near future. They heed us to speak our truth and trust the quickening flow of the river as it carries humanity into the unknown. These 12 Steps to Self Care will guide you in light of this crucially important prophesy and hopefully inspire you along your journey of fulfilling your highest potential.

What does it mean to follow your bliss?  Do you know anyone who has embodied this principle throughout their entire life? My guest today, Dr. Fred Provenza, has followed his heart since he began to talk. This episode explores the soul-driven decisions that brought Fred to his current position as professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University. Fred also shares key realizations he came to through research on animal and plant behaviors, his experiences through cancer diagnosis and treatment, and we discuss how our choices, relationships and environment influence our genetics to create our sense of self. Fred is now directing an award-winning research group that pioneered an understanding of how learning influences foraging behavior and how behavior links soil, plants, herbivores, and humans. That work culminated in a program called BEHAVE, which was active from 2000-2010. BEHAVE was an international network of scientists, ranchers, farmers, and land managers committed to integrating behavioral principles with local knowledge to enhance environmental, economic, and cultural values of rural and urban communities. He is the author of three books, including "Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us About Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom" and "Foraging Behavior: Managing to Survive in a World of Change; and The Art & Science of Shepherding: Tapping the Wisdom of French Herders" (co-author with Michel Meuret). He has published over 300 research papers in a wide variety of scientific journals and been an invited speaker at well over 500 conferences. The many awards he received for research, teaching, and mentoring are the creativity that flowed from warm professional and personal relationships with over 75 graduate students, post-doctoral students, visiting scientists, and colleagues during the past 45 years.
