210. Beyond Filtered Water: Achieving Coherence in Mind, Body & Spirit with the Analemma Wand
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).
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. Dolf’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. Dolf’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!

209. Fast Friday: Athena and The Sirens of Goddesses and Sirens
What is the role of temptation in your life, and how do you relate to this beguiling force?
Are you steering your life from your mind, or your heart?
Today's Fast Friday is an interesting mix of both staying true to the established path and veering towards the heart's true desires. This episode is a fourth reference of Stacey Demarco's Goddesses and Sirens oracle cards, which are beautifully illustrated by Jimmy Manton. We will be learning about two iconic feminine forces: Athena, the goddess of strategy and wisdom, and the Sirens, the feminine forces of temptation.
The lessons these goddesses have to offer us are essential for finding clarity on where we are headed in life. Athena drives from the mind and uses foresight and strategy to attain Her desired goals. The Sirens, on the other hand, draw sailors away from the planned path and into the watery depths of Their kingdom.
We often hear of the positive aspects of Athena, and the negative aspects of the Sirens, but like everything in this world, these archetypes contain both light and darkness. They remind us that, as all goddess archetypes, their powerful essence is within us all, supporting the human capacity for great compassion and wisdom.
If you enjoy learning about women of history and divine feminine icons, you won't want to miss...

208. Spirits in Spacesuits: Science, Spirituality & Psychology with Father Sean O'Laoire
What is the role of the Feminine in organized religion?
Why do we believe what we believe, how do we know if it’s true and where do our beliefs come from?
These are just some of the many deep questions we explore in today's show.
Dr. Seán ÓLaoire was born in Ireland and earned a B.Sc. degree in Mathematics from the National University of Ireland. Ordained a catholic priest in 1972, he spent 14 years working in Kenya.

He is co-founder and the Spiritual Director of a non-denominational community called “Companions on the Journey” based in Palo Alto. He is the author of five books and co-author of a sixth: “Ukweli ni Nini?” (What is truth?), “Spirits in Spacesuits,”“Souls on Safari,” “A Sensible God,” “Why? What Your Life Is Telling You about Who You Are and Why You’re Here,” and 6. “Setting God Free: Moving Beyond the Caricature We’ve Created in Our Own Image,” published most recently in 2021.

207. Connecting with Planetary Energies, Cycles and Ancient Goddess Cultures with Maria Wheatley
In our stressful, fast-paced culture that focuses primarily on physical reality, subtle energies are often shrugged off due to their immaterial nature. We no longer commune with the moon, the sun, or the powerful earth cycles that once guided human societies.
But the ancient people who miraculously built structures such as Stonehenge, Sacsayhuaman, the Puma Punku, the Great Pyramids and more... THEY were in tune with these ancient forces of nature.
Will we ever understand the depth of their wisdom and capabilities?
Maria Wheatley is a second-generation dowser who is a leading authority on the geodetic system of earth energies. She was taught how to decode and divine the land by her late father, Dennis Wheatley, who was considered to be one of the UKs top Master Dowsers.
In this episode, you will learn practical tips that will help you reconnect with your sacred feminine nature, the subtle energies of the Earth and other planetary structures as well as the ancestral people who know so much more than we do. We discuss...
What we can all learn from sacred sites
How to detect earth energies
The science of earth divination and how to harmonize our lives with it
How to tap into the electromagnetic field of the earth and how it can change our physical body
The definition of alchemy
The history of magic.

206. Fast Friday: Embracing Your Feminine Power on The Heroine's Journey
I have a question...
Where are the heroines?
They're out there, but why aren't we hearing and learning about them and their stories?
This question is a big part of my "why" behind the Awakening Aphrodite podcast. I NEED heroines and feminine role models to inspire and uplift my path to becoming all of who I am, and I believe we all share that in common!
I am THRILLED to announce my upcoming online course on the four primary stages of Womanhood and the archetypes that guide each step. Feminine wisdom, guidance and power is medicine for the soul of our society and bringing Her to you is a true gift!
In this episode we will explore...
The monomyth of the Hero’s journey and how differs from the Heroine’s Journey
The 8 stages of the Hero’s Journey - a term coined by Joseph Campbell.
A passage from “As Above So Below: Paths to Spiritual Renewal in Daily Life” by Ronald S. Miller that describes the challenges women face when tasked with fulfilling the typical Hero’s journey
A new path for women to follow that leaves them feeling fully balanced and whole.
If you’ve put aside your passion for integrating spirituality, creativity, intellect, sexuality and intuition into your life, this episode is for you!

205. Attracting, Raising and Keeping A Savage Gentleman With Josh Tyler
What is a Savage Gentleman? How can one embody an oxymoron?
Well, according to Josh Tyler, this is the ideal state of Man... the consistent cultivation of both aspects in an effort to reach his highest potential. Josh, in his own words, is a man on a quest to reach his full potential and help others do the same. As a school teacher turned professional fighter/amateur survivalist, his wild and varied experiences led him to co-found Savage Gentleman. Like the company's namesake implies, he is a walking juxtaposition of this dichotomy of masculinity. As a husband, father, fighter and philosopher, Josh continues to explore and improve upon both aspects and encourages all men to do so as well. You can find Josh's amazing offerings at https://savagegentleman.com.
I can't wait for you to dive into this episode! We cover many essential topics including the notion of "toxic" masculinity and why it fails to describe men, the difference between sensitivity and vulnerability, the need for positive role models, and what Josh believes men want women to know.

204. The Metaphysical Nature of Water as an Expression of the Divine Feminine with Isabel Friend
Most of us probably know our bodies are made of approximately 70% water by volume, right?
Well, on a molecular level, water actually makes up 99.99% of what we are!
So, with that in mind, we can deduce that, logically, the water we take in is the single most important aspect of our health.
And yet tap water is filled with toxins, reverse osmosis depletes our minerals, and most of the fancy waters available for purchase at the store have been sitting in plastic and their origins are completely foreign to our bodies.
So, what are we to do?!?
My guest today, Isabel Friend, is an international ambassador of Water, public speaker, and educator. As a student, servant, and steward of Water, she seamlessly blends science and spirit into a comprehensive cosmology of Water wisdom. Spanning the practical insights of health, hydration and biology, to empowering tactics for Watershed guardianship and ecological activism, to the esoteric and subtle insights of ancient indigenous Water wisdom, to the heady scientific discoveries of cutting edge Water research, Isabel's offerings are as multifaceted as Water itself. She has taught about Water throughout the US, Canada, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Bali, Mexico and Thailand. Isabel is deeply devoted to helping YOU embody the empowerment that is inherent in being a body of Water, living on a body of Water. Because Water is life, and life is sacred.
If you want to learn more about the magical properties of water, I highly recommend Episode 88 on Awakening Aphrodite: The Molecular Coherence Of The Fountain Of Youth: Aligning With Nature Cycles, Subtle Energies And Divine Forces With Dolf Zantinge's Analemma Water.
You can try out the Analemma Wand for yourself with my special discounted offer code at my eStore! I use it every day, and I firmly stand by my belief that it is an essential tool for comprehensive wellness and true health.

203. Conscious Partnership: Cultivating Authenticity, Freedom and Wisdom in Love with Mimi & Chase of The Medicin
Romance, partnership, and marriage...
Within these significant human relationships lies the opportunity (or many opportunities!) to embark on a never-ending journey of self-development.
Are you ready? Is your partner onboard? And, hey, you don't need to be in a relationship to begin!
Mimi and Chase, my amazing guests today, are a thriving conscious couple - meaning they have cultivated the capacity to express themselves authentically and embody their highest selves within their relationship. As the creators of the Medicine Podcast and business, Mimi and Chase have worked in the health, wellness and personal development space for nearly a decade. They are childhood sweethearts who married in their early 20s, ended up getting divorced and completely separated for 3 years before reuniting as "partners" with a brand new outlook on relationships, love, the universe, god, health, etc. Chase and Mimi's mission is to discover and spread what they call real "Medicins" of life that bring us closer to love, vitality and purpose.
If you'd like to learn more about these beautiful people and their offerings, you can visit their website at themedicin.com.

202. Tired but Wired? Healing the 21st Century Stress Syndrome of Adrenal Fatigue with Kristen Files
Is feeling "tired" and "stressed" your normal?
Have you lost your creative spark and zest for life, but can't seem to pin down the root cause?
James Wilson famously dubbed adrenal fatigue "the 21st century syndrome" because our system glorifies work and machine-like output while devaluing the true needs of our human bodies. We crave nature connection, sunshine, rest, play, creativity and physical movement but paradoxically live in a system that follows the laws of production over intuition.
Well, today you'll hear all about the consequences of this lifestyle! Kristen Files, my guest today, is a functional nutritional therapy practitioner and master restorative wellness practitioner who is board-certified in holistic nutrition. She gives us a comprehensive introduction to the adrenal glands, the HPA axis, the hormones that govern our bodies at different stages of life (hello, menopause!) and simple tips for healing hormonal dysregulation. She is a living example that her integrated approach truly works! Kristen's contact information amazing resources can be found at www.forestcreekwellness.com.
