95. Understanding the Masculine and Feminine Nature of the Sun and Moon to Be More of Your Authentic Self with Holistic Astrologer, Fatima-Zahra
Hello everyone! Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite for another insightful & fascinating episode with my beloved repeat guest, Fatima-Zahra! Fatima-Zahra is a holistic astrologer with a unique perspective on the zodiac that includes ancient symbolism, archetypes and a deep understanding of the divine polarities. If you haven’t heard our last episode together and you resonate with this conversation, please check out Episode 85, the Power and Significance of Esoteric Symbols, Sacred Geometry and Biogeometry.
Did you know that the planets and stars each represent one side of the great Masculine-Feminine duality? That’s right… the signs within your personal zodiac are considered to be either “male” or “female,” a dynamic that may affect you in ways you’ve never considered before!
In this episode, Fatima-Zahra explains how the duality concept is not necessarily sexual or gender-based. I too believe that everything and everyone holds aspects of both masculine and feminine archetypes, and that it is up to us to have the wisdom and discretion to know when to access those different energies within us all.
Fatima-Zahra and I talk at length about the symbolism and significance of the sun and moon as they represent the dualities within us all. The moon is a reflective, intuitive force that astrologically symbolizes our authenticity, creativity and divine feminine. This is why, according to Fatima-Zahra, we should not overly identify with our sun sign, despite what mainstream zodiac culture would have you believe. Fatima-Zahra also speaks about Black Moon Lilith, an astrological aspect that I’ve personally never heard of! She explains how this ancient, powerful and dark feminine force plays out in the astrological plane, influencing the side of ourselves that many prefer to keep hidden. Here's the truth: ALL of who you are uniquely makes you YOU, and we must learn to accept and holistically incorporate our shadow to lead a balanced, authentic and joyful life.
And how about men? What do men need to know about the role of the moon in their life? We talk about the importance of self care, safety and acceptance for men, and Fatims-Zahra shares some astrologically-informed advice on supporting the moon-side of the men in your life. Ultimately, there’s more that unites us than divides us, and nowadays it is more clear than EVER that we must all tap into our divine feminine to restore balance, support each other and inspire authenticity by unapologetically living in our truth.

94. Using Cannabis and Plant Medicine for Increased Consciousness, Connection and Lifestyle Balance with Ryan Sprague (Part I)
Have you ever really clicked with someone in your life and immediately felt comfortable and grounded, almost as if you’d known them for a long time? If you can relate to that, consider yourself to be truly blessed– because, as we discuss in this episode, life is ALL about relationships. My guest, Ryan Sprague, is one of those people for me. We haven’t known each other for long... In fact, this is the first time we’ve really sat down and had a one-to-one conversation. Ryan Sprague is an expert on cannabis and its holistic and medical uses, and this episode will take you to a wide variety of fascinating and complex topics. Ryan is so full of deep ideas and interesting perspectives that I already have him booked for another episode for you!
Ryan’s mission in life is helping his fellow brothers and sisters become empowered in their experience of being alive through men’s coaching, plant medicine integration coaching and retreat experiences. Ryan is the founder and co-owner of Highly Optimized, which also has a podcast that he hosts in addition to his other show, This One Time On Psychedelics. I highly encourage you to check out Ryan’s programs and podcasts– he is truly a wealth of information.
Some of the topics we discuss in this episode include decision-making fatigue, core values, what it means to live a balanced and healthy life (hint: it does NOT involve strict dieting or removing things that make you happy), the difference between happiness and pleasure, and most importantly: why it is critical to be clear on your “WHY” for doing anything. We also spend some time talking about plant medicines and how to use them to enhance our self awareness for healing, as opposed to relying on them as a means for escape or numbing to the emotions our bodies must process. Lastly, we talk about the importance of using our imagination in the modern world as adults and our responsibility to acknowledge and listen to that inspired child-mind that lies within us all. You’re just going to LOVE this show, and I can’t wait to bring Ryan back to you next week! Please leave a review to let me know what you think of Awakening Aphrodite!

93. Making Sense of Womanhood, Modern Life, Rites of Passage and Menopause Truths with Midwife, Author and Healer Susan Willson
No matter who you are, what you believe or how you identify, chances are that your human experience consists of phases, changes and transitions. Whether you choose to share these stories or hold your experiences closely shrouded in secret, the all-consuming (and at times downright intense) nature of these inevitable life transitions unites women, men and children alike. In the past, important phases of life were culturally acknowledged and supported by traditions, rituals and generational wisdom. To the detriment of our health and collective sense of pleasure and fulfillment, many transitions have come to be ignored or even dreaded in our modern time. Women’s physical rites of passage in particular, also known as the blood mysteries: birth, menarche, first sexual experiences, pregnancy (including the gestation of new ideas and ventures) and menopause have been shamed, suppressed and controlled in recent generations.
My amazing guest, Susan Willson, is a Yale-educated Certified Nurse Midwife with 45 years of experience guiding and healing women on their rites of passage. She’s spent the last two decades working exclusively with women through their menopausal transitions. Her new book, Making Sense of Menopause, gives readers the foundation to reframe their concept of menopause from a culturally dreaded “ending” to a transformative, potent phase brimming with the power to fully embody the authentic self. In this fascinating and empowering episode, Susan and I unpack some of the more complex ideas presented in the book and Susan shares life-changing tips on how to prepare for a smooth transition into menopause, how to cast off internalized shame and how (and why!) to prioritize pleasure in your life.
We talk about the role of epigenetics in our experience of menopause, the Grandmother Hypothesis, and the key role that wise women have played in the evolution of human cognition and culture. Susan tells us about the effects of generational trauma, stress and shame on DNA in the womb, and how your lifestyle NOW will predict your health and happiness not only later in life but for many future generations to come. The REALITY is this: menopause is a time to self-actualize, own your power, not apologize for your wants, needs or desires, not to silence your voice but to live your TRUTH and blossom your gift to the world.
Tune into my episode with Dr. Nathan Riley (see here) for more information and tips on women's health and holistic wellbeing! And if you feel empowered or inspired by this episode, please SHARE! I would also love to hear your thoughts in a review :)

92. Feminine Spirituality: Reawakening the Goddess in YOU (For Men and Women!)
If you’re interested in the heroine’s journey, the prevalence of the Goddess and matriarchal societies throughout human evolution or harmonizing your own internal masculine and feminine energies, this episode is for you!
In today’s introspective solocast, I draw on a major theme of this show: Reawakening the goddess in YOU to bring healing, spiritual connection and empowerment to all life on our endangered planet. This show exists to promote the ideal of holism as an alternative to the imbalanced and struggling system within which we live. It is a fact that our modern society emerged from a blueprint drawn up by the patriarchy that excludes the archetypal Feminine within us all– symbolized by the intuitive, the spiritual and the cyclical, regenerative nature of life. In valuing competition and exploitation above all else, humans have dissociated from the feminine half of the balanced duality of which all is born. Denying the Feminine within us has generated a cascade of worldwide issues: from the normalization of chronic stress (and the multitude of mental and physical health issues directly caused as a result) to the devastating effects of the undeniably anthropogenic seventh mass extinction.
I named this show Awakening Aphrodite because I, like many, was heavily inundated into living imbalanced in the masculine polarity of myself. I begin this episode by sharing my personal experience with burnout, trauma and shutting down my Feminine, referring to The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest For Wholeness by Maureen Murdock, As Above So Below by Ronald S. Miller and Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen’s research for the mythology, anthropology and facts on the oppression and need for the Feminine in all aspects of life. I tell the ancient Greek tale of Persephone and relate her journey to the Jungian subconscious and the human need to acknowledge sacred rites of passage. I also discuss the rise and fall of egalitarian societies, the idea of “God” as a woman, and the symbolism of the feminine-masculine dynamic as it relates to ideas, career, creation and rediscovering the heart-connection that joins us all. Please enjoy, subscribe and I'd love to hear your thoughts in a review or comment!

91. Chasing Death, Connecting with Your Soul and Calling In Conscious Relationships While Navigating the Masculine-Feminine Dynamic with Aleks Rybchinskiy
Welcome to one of the most fun, comprehensive and honest discussions ever about calling in and KEEPING conscious relationships and how to navigate through the sometimes rocky, sometimes confusing, but otherwise super important waters of the masculine-feminine dynamic within them and ourselves! My guest today is Aleks Rybchinskiy and as soon as we met, he became a dear friend (you know when you "just know"!?) whose vibrant passion and curiosity for life comes across through his work, relationships and record-breaking achievements. In fact, Aleks is one of the youngest professionals to ever reach a Level 4 training in the prestigious CHEK institute and he has worked in holistic health for 12 years, providing top-level healing services as one of less than 1000 elite practitioners worldwide.
This episode is centered around relationships: the human relationship with death, how to communicate with your soul, why we need to connect with our authentic selves and, most significantly, how to call in and maintain a conscious soulmate relationship. Aleks shares some incredible relationship advice that I wish I’d heard when I was much younger. Trust me– whether you’re manifesting your soulmate, maintaining a relationship or questioning whether your current partner is THE ONE, you’ll learn something in this fascinating and intimate discussion. Aleks speaks from personal relationship experience with his amazing wife Sara Gustafson, who you can meet (twice!) in episodes 64 and 65 on Awakening Aphrodite.
In this episode you’ll also hear Aleks and I talk about what it’s like to personally work with Paul Chek as students and clients. Aleks tells tales of chasing and nearly missing death as an adrenaline junkie and helps us to understand the dangers of confusing a lack of chaos in life with being bored. I share my thoughts on plant medicines in our conversation about the ego and the soul, and Aleks clears up misconceptions about “surrender” and what that word really means. I also ask Aleks to speak on what it means to be masculine in the modern world, and how a man can successfully balance the feminine within themselves and authentically relate to the women in their lives.
Lastly, Aleks advises us to practice “scaring” your dates away (haha!) with honesty! Meaning: get good at showing potential partners who you really are, and if they stick around you’ll have something to work with!

90. Living In Your Goddess Nature: Cycles of Womanhood and Cultivating Sacred Selfishness With Nicole Devaney, Master CHEK Practitioner, Ex-Exotic Dancer and How-To Holistic Healer
Nicole Devaney is a shining example of a woman who is truly living in her Goddess nature. She is a faculty instructor at the world-renowned CHEK Institute and considers herself to be a “retired healer and self-employed way-show-er,” as she believes we all intuitively crave to be our most vibrant and healthy selves.
In this empowering episode you may feel as though you are eavesdropping on Nicole & I chatting like two old friends about our lives, dreams and beliefs about who we are as women in this modern culture. I resonate with her as a dancer, entrepreneur and fellow Warrior-Empress living from the wisdom of her soul. Nicole shares the story of her adventurous career in exotic dance and how breaking her spine led her to healing, love and purpose through the holistic health of the CHEK Institute.
We discuss the term “sacred selfishness,” and Nicole explains why it is absolutely okay—and even necessary— to defy the culturally-approved “martyr” identity and care for ourselves with gifts, acceptance (and sometimes chocolate) in a way that may be perceived as selfish. We also take a deep dive into the subject of feminine sexuality and how we can awaken our sacred power as women: from awakening the power in our hips through dance to addressing the myths of peri-menopause and embracing our ever-changing bodies. What would the world be like if we celebrated and acknowledged women’s major life transitions between the phases of Maiden, Mother, Empress-Warrior and Wise Woman-Crone? Lastly, I ask Nicole to share some tips on MANifesting your dream partner, and she gives us the inside-scoop on the spiritual growth she experienced through her past and present romantic relationships. Whew… describing this meaningful & intimate episode barely does it justice, so go get cozy and press play!

88. The Molecular Coherence Of The Fountain Of Youth: Aligning With Nature Cycles, Subtle Energies And Divine Forces With Dolf Zantinge's Analemma Water
Looks are deceiving, and that saying goes for your water, too! You can invest in good food and exercise programs, surround yourself with supportive friends and family, and even learn to navigate the ups and downs of life with grace... but if you don’t consider your water to be of equal importance, you will never achieve your peak level of health and performance.
Though properly filtering your water is now absolutely necessary for preventing toxins, contaminants, pesticides, foreign additives and other dangerous pollutants from entering your body, filtration simply is not enough anymore (see my eStore for my favorite home filtration system).
Water is one of the four key elements of this world, and as a symbol of feelings, emotions and the feminine lifeforce, it is quite more than the amalgamation of two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen. Water intelligently absorbs and transfers information and is highly responsive to electromagnetic sources (including the technical devices we use every day). If that water isn’t coherent, with the proper harmonious molecular structure, absorbing it will cause premature aging, hormone imbalances and disrupted sleeping patterns. NINETY-NINE percent of the molecules in your body are water! The consequences of not being attentive to the quality of water we use, or of even neglecting to understand this invaluable element, are extensive on a mass scale.
My guest today, Rudolf (Dolf) Zantinge, is a hero of mine and an expert in the fields of data mining, AI, IT and Traditional Chinese Medicine. His fascination with the relationship between light and water intensified when his independent research team observed water’s intelligence and sensitivity to electromagnetic forces. They noticed a declining coherence in our planet’s water and the effects of this phenomenon on the mental and physical wellbeing of all life forms. Dolph’s company created the Analemma Wand as a solution for this newly discovered problem… and since using it, I swear my body looks and feels better than before. Dolph’s independent research has shown that properly aligning your water molecules to ensure coherence can reduce your body’s age by between 2-12 YEARS. The Analemma Wand harmonizes the two hemispheres of the brain to enhance intuition and reduce anxiety while restoring our intuitive, instinctual and knowing senses.
And guess what? Listeners of Awakening Aphrodite have a discount on this amazing device! Just visit analemma-water.com and use the code “fitamyTV” at checkout. I promise you’ll love it!
I am thrilled to bring this episode to you and I hope you can share the vital information we discuss with friends and family for the healing of our planet! This show takes a lot of work and resources so I would greatly appreciate it if you would leave a review for me on itunes and share! Thank you so much and please enjoy the show :)

87. Feeling Love, Connection and Guidance Through Animals, Spirit Guides and Nature For Self-Knowledge, Health and Healing With Ted Andrews' "Animal-Speak" and Amy Fournier, Part II
Do you have a favorite animal that carries a special meaning for you?
Have you had any unusual encounters with wildlife in your life?
Are you familiar with your power animals?
Are you looking for Divine Guidance and a stronger sense of intuition and Inner Knowing?
Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite, my friends! This week’s episode is a sequel to my discussion from Episode 78: A Discussion On “Animal Speak: The Spiritual, Symbolic & Magical Powers Of Creatures Great And Small” By Ted Andrews. As promised, this solocast focuses on power animals and the medicine they offer to empower, support and heal. Whether we are aware of it or not, we humans each hold a special heartfelt connection with specific power animals that resonate with our being. These spiritual animal allies may shift to match our experiences, wounds and strengths as we travel through different chapters of life. Drawing on the wisdom and teachings from Ted Andrews’ popular book, “Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small,” I share details on the medicine and symbolism of five carefully selected power animals.
Reconnecting with the deeper part of myself that craves communion with nature has rekindled my passion for studying animals, plants and the indigenous cultures that live in harmony with Mother Earth. I believe, as those cultures do, that animals bridge the spiritual and physical realms and have much to teach us. Every creature has a spirit and soul and plays a significant role in the grand scheme of life. How do you discover your own power animals, and what do they represent in your life? I hope you find the answers you’re looking for in this special episode. Please share, subscribe and I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on my podcast in a comment or review!

86. Plant Intelligence: Understanding and Communicating With Plants, Nature and Higher Realms of Soul and Self With Dr. Monica Gagliano, Professor In Evolutionary Ecology
Can plants "speak"?
Do they communicate?
Can they "learn", have "families", etc?
I am thrilled to have you here for this week’s brilliant and fascinating guest, Dr. Monica Gagliano!
Dr. Gagliano is an exceptional evolutionary behavioral ecologist who pioneered the field of bio-acoustics and published research on plant cognition: scientifically proving plants' abilities to perceive, learn, remember and communicate with a consciousness not all too different from our own. In this enlightening conversation, Dr. Gaglano shares a story that is also told in her book, “Thus Spoke The Plant,” about how the plants actually instructed her design of the experiment that demonstrated their sentience. Humans are truly not the “superior” species! In fact, plants are our “elders” and have always collaborated and communicated with human societies for food and medicine, a relationship that has unfortunately crumbled in our noisy, consumer-based modern era. Dr. Gagliano emphasizes how becoming open to new forms of communication with the plant kingdom will ultimately lead us back to ourselves, providing the deep connection and groundedness that our society is so desperately seeking right now. She shares with us her experience in Australia’s COVID-19 lockdown and how her relationship with the land helped provide the answers that she intuitively needed to alleviate her perceived isolation. Dr. Gagliano’s approach to both conventional science and the intuitive discoveries beyond are enlightening, inspiring and hold great promise for the healing of our species. So...cozy up and get ready for this heartwarming and eye-opening conversation with the one and only Dr. Monica Gagliano! I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!
