237. What you need to know about Mammograms and Alternative Cancer Treatment Options with Investigative Journalist Megan Smith
More than 1 million breast biopsies are performed every year in the US... And 75-80% of those yield benign outcomes.
As many as 1 out of 4 of those breast tissue biopsies are then diagnosed incorrectly as positive for cancer.
For one woman saved, as many as 10 receive unnecessary treatment including chemotherapy, radiation or mastectomies.
What is the common denominator?
Answer: the mammogram.
Many women are already uncomfortable with mammograms... without even knowing the risks of complying with the faulty screening tactic. Tune in to learn about the problems with mammograms, alternative screening strategies, holistic cancer prevention and effective lifestyle tips for breast and whole-body wellness.
Megan Smith holds a Master's degree in biology, and currently works as a documentary filmmaker and freelance investigative journalist. Megan was the first to report on the inaccuracy of Lyme's disease testing for The Washington Post, and wrote, produced and directed both of her two documentaries on cancer. You can access Megan's essential films and blog at her website, ANewStandardOfCare.com.

236. Working with Energy, Aligning with Natural Cycles and Protecting Yourself from Dark Entities with Green Witch, Arin Murphy-Hiscock
How can we reconnect with nature, as divided as we are from the trees, the animals, the clean, fresh water, wind, and the quiet that used to surround our planet?
How do we realize the presence of subtle healing energies, without exposing ourselves to dark entities?
These questions and more will be answered today with none other than Arin Murphy-Hiscock, who has been involved in alternate spirituality for over 25 years. Arin's take on green witchcraft has struck a chord with people seeking to establish or reinforce their connection with nature, often a challenge in modern life. While trained in a Wiccan tradition, she personally follows an open spiritual path rooted in hearth and plant magic. To learn more about Arin and her wonderful books, check out arinmurphyhiscock.com.

229. The Wild Woman Archetype: Nourishing your Goddess Instincts, Passion and Beauty with Dr. Stacey Shelby
Have you met the Wild Women? Hopefully regardless of how old you are, you know her and you know her well. Perhaps you caught a faint whiff of her on a steamy hot Summer night or when a societal or cultural issue ignited your inner fire to take action on something that was important to you.Yet far too many women are not familiar with her. They either consciously or unconsciously feel the cultural constraints and metaphorical leash that has tried to tame and domesticate her in an attempt to control and limit her powerful energy and abilities. Yet we need her...desperately. The primal, instinctual nature that exists in all women is known as the Wild Woman archetype and it is a critical asset in helping us navigate wisely through our lives. So if you find yourself feeling overly 'civilized' or 'domesticated', out of touch with your instinctual inner compass and "fire in the belly" - basically feeling lame and far too tame - this episode is for you!My guest today is Dr. Stacey Shelby who is an author, speaker, educator, and depth psychotherapist. She is certified clinical dream tender holds a masters and Ph.D. in Depth Psychology with a specialization in Jungian and Archetypal Studies. In this episode we tap into Dr. Shelby's understanding and experience with the Wild Woman Archetype and what it means for all women. We also talk about love as a catalyst for true inner awakening and discuss ways we can engage with Goddess archetypes in our everyday lives. There are many amazing other Awakening Aphrodite episodes on Goddess energy and archetypes, including:83.
