  • In honor of Pride month here in the US, I wanted to bring you a genuine conversation with a number of dear friends of mine about our own discoveries about our places in the LGBTQIA+ universe. We’re having a frank, open discussion about our experiences, our joys, our struggles, and so much more. Regardless of how you (or those in your lives) identify, these issues touch all of us, and I want to help bring greater understanding to my community and to all those whose lives you touch.

    I’m joined by three amazing guests – not “experts” per se, simply real people: Kelly Mahalak, Cassandra Coghill, and Chivas Sandage – as we dive into:

    Our own journeys to self-discovery The terms we use to describe ourselves, and the challenges in using these terms Compulsory heterosexuality Coming out is not a one-time thing The privilege and curse of “passing” The many joys in our lives related to our queerness

    Laughter. Tears. Deep truths. This conversation has it all!!!

    About Cassandra A. Coghill

    I am Cassandra A. Coghill, a Relationship Alchemist and Intimacy Guide.

    I am a healer, a priestess, and a witch.

    I have a Bachelor's degree in Women and Gender Studies, with a minor in Human Development and Family Science, from North Dakota State University in Fargo, ND. (Go Bison!)

    While attending college, I became a certified Reiki Master Practitioner and gave birth to my first child. While pregnant with my second child, I was initiated onto the path of priestesshood at the Goddess Temple of Ashland, Oregon. I am also an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church.

    A powerful inner call to understand the mysteries of life lead me into the study of metaphysics and the occult from a young age. I have been a practicing solitary white witch for the past 11 years. I have studied the Tarot since 2014 and consult it and other oracles for myself and my clients regularly. I work with the so-called “classical” or “Western” elements of Air, Water, Fire and Earth in nearly everything I do. My love for the so-called “Eastern” traditions runs deep (I’ve studied yoga, tantra, ayurveda, traditional chinese medicine, feng shui and Buddhist philosophy informally but extensively); but, as a person of predominantly British ancestry, the deepest and most powerful magick I bring forth tends to be drawn from ancient, indigenous European traditions, rituals, symbologies and myths. I commune with angels, dance with faeries and sing the songs of my ancestors regularly.”

  • Play comes naturally to most children, but as we get older, playfulness, zest, tends to diminish. We get stuck in responsibilities, or maybe you feel like play is frivolous. But then you also end up feeling unhappy and depressed and play is a way out of it. The power of play can really help us live more enjoyable, fulfilling, and even productive lives. My two guests today, Elaine O’Brien and Andrea Seydel, are not only dear friends of mine, but they just coauthored a book on this, and I am so thrilled to have them share their wisdom with you! Today we’re discussing:

    Why we lose our sense of play as we get older Why play is so important to our wellbeing Reconnecting to how we like to play Easy ways to bring more play into our lives The value of “micromoments” How we can adopt a play mindset The scientific argument for play Why play is crucial to getting through challenging times

  • I grew up the grandchild of Holocaust survivors. My grandparents fled Europe and came to the United States with nothing, and their experiences understandably left them with concerns about money and scarcity. Some of this rubbed off on me, along with my own experiences growing up around people who had far more money than I did (not that I wanted for anything). And as a result, I ended up with my own set of issues around money. Today’s episode is a bit of a departure for me, since I rarely focus on money, but that’s what we’re diving into today.

    Join me as I talk all about:

    Power leaks around money Conscious women with money are going to save this world Why I want more money... And what is YOUR secret desire for money?

  • You ever have that feeling that you should be happier than you are? Maybe you think that in general, things are going pretty OK in your life, and for sure a lot of people have it worse than you do, and yet you feel like you should be happier? You wonder what’s wrong with you? I’ll out myself and say that yes, I’ve been there many times in my life. If this at all resonates for you, then I’ve got the best guest for you! Today I’m sitting down with Dominique Velasquez to talk about:

    The guilt that comes from feeling that you have no good reason to be anxious or unhappy The search for external validation Her struggles with opioids Her amazing recovery (and how my podcast helped!!! – I am so grateful to know this!!!) Her key understanding that the problem is not the circumstance in which we find ourselves, it’s… (you’ll have to listen to hear the rest!) The devastating effect of shame How the tools that Dominique has developed help other women to feel fulfilled and whole inside Dominique’s PIVOTT program

    About Dominique Velasquez

    I spent my life trying to prove my worth by achieving things. However, there was no achievement big enough to fill the hole I had in my heart. I kept feeling empty like something was missing, and I just could not figure out why. I’d smile and put on a happy face to the world, but internally I was dying. In 2010 I got diagnosed with endometriosis, & quickly found myself fully addicted to opiates in desperation to numb the pain. At that time in my life, I looked to have it all, but I felt empty & unfulfilled! Constantly thinking “What is wrong with me?” I was dripping in shame from living a double life, pretending to be fine. The shame of being found out stopped me from seeking the treatment that I desperately wanted. I truly believed that my worth came from outside of me. Then I discovered self-development, and my life took a 180-degree pivot. I quickly learned that everything I needed was inside me and that I am the creator of my life. My purpose is to guide women in discovering that everything they need is inside them.

  • I didn’t build my business on social media - I built it by speaking on stages. My big dream was to be impactful like Oprah, and though I had no mentor, I figured it out. I spoke at AVON and for Victoria’s Secret execs. For Capital One and at Women’s conferences.

    I LOVED IT!

    I made an impact, I made money, AND, nearly every time I spoke, I got clients! But then… I kept seeing all of these other coaches making $1 Million in 6 months! I felt so inadequate.

    Ads started screaming at me on Facebook: Get 10,000 followers! Get my cash coach system! My brain start obsessing about social media posts and (ugh -) Likes. I felt like a loser and even though my business did “well” I felt rotten.

    When companies shut down during the pandemic, speaking was off the table - So I hired an expensive coach who got me to raise my prices. It was fun and I was successful, but I was still anxious. My mind dreaded the social media hustle. I felt bored of all the coaching. And empty. I got into this to teach Happiness, but I was unhappy.

    So I hit the RESET button. I looked deep within and remembered: Carin - you’re here to move the masses. I did not get into this to coach a few. I did not get into this to obsessively feel defeated against algorithms.

    I did not get into this to SELL! SELL! SELL! I’m here for massive impact. I’m here to start a Revolution.

    Can you relate? Does this resonate? If so, then stick around, because this episode is the audio from my VISIONARY MasterClass, in which I spilled the beans on:

    How I created a REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT. How I created a paid speaking biz What I’ve learned so you do it better

    In the VISIONARY Masterclass, you'll learn:

    The #1 Thing Killing Women Entrepreneurs’ Spirits and Ability to Impact My 4 Step ROCKSTAR Plan The EXACT steps I took to speak to tens of thousands of people, to be on national radio, and to have a podcast in the top 20 for mental health in 30+ countries How to create a business that is full of EASE, is FUN, and FLOWS clients to you

    You will walk away feeling EXCITED about your work again, HOPEFUL about possibilities, and READY with a plan of ACTION to ROCK your MISSION!!!

    And at the end of this Masterclass I invite participants to join me in my brand new ROCKSTAR Mentorship, which you can learn about here: https://carinrockind.com/rockstar

  • After I divorced years ago, I had a series of relationships over a number of years, some for a short time and some that lasted a while, but for too much of that time I wasn’t really clear on what I wanted out of these relationships, let alone how to go about getting it. Looking back on it now, I wish I had had someone in my life like today’s guest to help me navigate all of this. Today we’re talking with Jamie Simkins, expert in all things dating, relationships, love and sex, and it is SUCH a fabulous, juicy conversation! Join us as we talk all about:

    Some of the common struggles so many women have in relationships and dating Why it matters that our brain confuses what is familiar with love Why women often “overfunction” in their relationships The challenges of getting back together after a break-up (70% don’t make it!) Regarding the pain of break-ups, it’s not that time heals all wounds, it’s that…. (You’re gonna have to listen to hear the rest of this one!) Why the break-up brain is an addicted brain How to manage a break-up in a healthy, healing way How to strengthen your current relationship

  • I recently got back from leading my Wild Woman Retreat in Puerto Rico, and I’m just gonna own it… It was AMAZING! I really do lead the best women’s retreats! Together we embraced the wild parts of ourselves, those parts that the patriarchy tries to suppress because our raw power threatens and scares them. Because uncovering and embracing these deeper parts of ourselves is critical to our own happiness.

    I’m on the verge of a major transformation right now, one in which I’m moving away from PurposeGirl and moving towards something bigger and bolder: Teaching women to be wise, wild women! My business is evolving, and it’s scary, and it’s also thrilling! If you’re like so many women I support, you have dreams that you’ve been dreaming for years, but you’ve been held back from pursuing them by any number of fears. Well sister, the fire within you is meant to be stoked, not stamped!

    Join me as I talk all about:

    Moving from watching the thing you desire to doing the thing you desire Paying attention to your “desire fire” Doing your “joy juice” research The stress response common to women The importance of support and connection How to soothe yourself when fear arises Accurate thinking vs. thinking traps How I can help you realize your dreams

  • Just dropping into your podcast feed a brief announcement for The Women’s Day Event: WOMANFEST, a 5-hour live event, held on Zoom, March 10, 2023, in honor of International Women’s Day!

    WOMANFEST is a free event to celebrate the power of women, to elevate and inspire us, for us to gather in Sisterhood and raise our voices and make a difference. And all proceeds from this event are going to support women’s reproductive freedoms. In the wake of Roe being overturned, when our freedoms as women are being stripped, this is the time that we are needed the most to be the most fully alive versions of ourselves. When we as women are fully lit up, we light up those around us, and that’s what it’s going to take to change the world!

    WOMANFEST will be five hours of empowerment, celebration, inspiration, transformation, dancing, raging, turning our trauma into triumph, and so much more!

    Plus… All day long I’ll be giving out juicy prizes, just for getting your tickets, and you don’t have to be live on the call to win! We’ll also be making the recordings available to those who buy tickets in advance, in case you can’t be there all day. The tickets start at only $20.23, but they’ll be going up to $55, $77, and higher, so get your tickets NOW! Join me!

  • Deep down inside of us, and affecting who we are and the choices we make, is the 5-year old we once were, the 12-year old we used to be… We are every age we’ve ever been, and sometimes we can see these little girl tendencies in our own actions. But what the world needs now more than ever, and what WE need, is to live as a WOMAN! And so, today’s episode is all about shifting from the little girl inside of us to becoming the woman we want to be.

    Join me as I talk all about:

  • Honesty time… how do you feel about your Pussy? (Vulva/Yoni/Vagina) Growing up, I was worried that mine looked weird and smelled funky. Sound familiar? I never looked at “her” - except when there was an “issue.” Years later, I started my own sexual and sensual empowerment. I began developing a much healthier and more positive relationship with my Pussy. I fell in love with her, and this has changed EVERYTHING! I feel more free in bed, I feel more beautiful, more ALIVE. I’m more connected to my desires and turn on and have a magnetic magical ability to attract what I want. Every WOMAN needs this to be in her POWER. My guest, Khadoma Colomby, a feminine embodiment mentor, writer and artist and I dive into it in today’s episode. Khadoma and I talk about:

    Why we need a relationship with Pussy Why so many women are distant from their own bodies - and what to do about it What happens when you’re disconnected from your own Pussy Healing women through The Pussy Project My own Pussy story and pain - I share things I never have publicly! Her Pussy Portraits and the profoundly deep work she does with women to prep for them (you know you’re curious!) Rewriting the story of our body and reclaiming our own power What it means to be “vulvalicious!”

    This is a real, raw, explicit, juicy, and super-important episode, and you do NOT want to miss it!

  • I recently sent a survey to my newsletter list because I wanted to better understand what struggles and challenges women in this community are dealing with, so I can better help. In today’s episode I’m posing those questions to you and then sharing the general trends that I found popping up again and again in the responses. But I’m not just sharing struggles – I’m also proposing a solution, and it all comes down to living in wholeness. So, today I’m talking about:

    What it means to live in your wholeness What obstacles we often face when trying to live as our whole selves How we can overcome these obstacles Why you NEED to live in your wholeness My solution to ALL of this!

    And I take you through a powerful guided meditation and several activities that I did with a recent Visioning Masterclass that will help you get clear on where you are now and who you want to be by the end of this year.

    To help you in 2023 to accomplish this audacious goal of becoming the woman you were born to be, I am THRILLED to announce The Year of WOMAN Membership! You’ll get all the juicy details in this episode, or you can go on over to:

  • Many of us have regular meditation practices or gratitude practices. I do, and they’re such an important part of my being present, and my living grounded and with appreciation for what I have. However, how many of us have a courage practice? I’m guessing very few, but in today’s episode my guest is going to teach us all about the value of courage and leading a courageous life, how we can all live more courageously, and why it can be so transformative for us and for those around us. I am honored and excited to bring to you my dear friend and colleague, Scott Simon, author of Scare Your Soul. In today’s episode, Scott talks about:

    How he was bullied growing up, the shame he felt around it, and how it led to him living a “small” life for years How his years of living small led him to be a champion for others in helping them live a courageous life Why we should learn to dance with our fear instead of trying to obliterate it The meaning behind the title, “Scare Your Soul” How the Scare Your Soul community is changing lives and changing the world Practical suggestions for taking small courageous actions The importance of fostering a courage practice

  • At the end of every year, I always spend time going through a particular ritual that helps me celebrate what was really good in the past year, look back at what I learned, and ask myself what do I want to carry forward? Doing this ritual helps me look at what I want in the coming year. I want to share this ritual with all of you so you can reflect on 2022 and look at what you want for 2023. Before I get to this very powerful ritual, I talk about: Taking time to pause and enjoy the moments in life. This helps you to create more of that in the future. Why it is so important to have closure for the things you don’t want to carry with you into the new year. When you really suck the marrow out of the good that happened in the past year, it creates the building blocks for the next year. Thanks for listening, love! Let’s change the world.

  • Leadership in the feminine is desperately needed, now more than ever. With the chaos engulfing our world in so many ways, we need more women rising in their power and leading from the feminine, instead of the toxic masculinity that is far too common in positions of power. In today’s episode I’m talking about what it means to be a priestess, and I’m publicly announcing a new program in which I’m bringing together years of my own training and work with ancient feminine wisdom: PRIESTESS.

    A PRIESTESS is here to raise the vibration of the planet.
    Living at such a high frequency of ecstasy – joy, love, peace, fire, freedom – a PRIESTESS leads with her radiance.
    She remembers the ancient wisdom within to embody her full power.

    PRIESTESS is a journey to the deeply divine, mystical, spiritual truth. To the underworld, the dark magic, and the light. To your sacred work in the world. To your authentic, beautiful, wise, compassionate, passionate, self. To your divinity. Your unique magic and skills.

    PRIESTESS is not a program… It’s an initiation. A remembrance. A calling. A one-year journey to your highest self.

    PRIESTESS is not for everyone, but if you think it might be for you, email my team ([email protected]) ASAP and let’s set up a quick time to chat, because we start soon!

  • Here in the United States we have an obsession with exercise, at the same time that we have an obesity epidemic. People are often judged based on whether or not, and how much, they exercise. And yet, there are systems and structures in place that make it difficult for so many people to incorporate regular exercise into their lives. My guest today, Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, has a new book out that takes a look at this issue and makes recommendations for what we can do to make positive changes in our society that will improve our overall health and life satisfaction. In today’s episode, Natalia talks about:

    Some of the structural impediments that make it difficult for so many to maintain a healthy lifestyle The connections between socioeconomic status and exercise The rise of labor-saving products and the increase in the sedentary lifestyle The relationship between race and fitness The changing views of fitness in the US How a “suburban housewife” sounded the alarm about a growing health crisis and got the ear of President Eisenhower Why fitness is a social justice issue

  • Like most women, I can struggle with self-doubt and question my own choices. But deep down inside I typically know what I really want to do. Deep inside all of us is the wisdom to know who we really are, that fully alive, fully radiant, fully wild self that is the key to our own happiness and success. And the more we tap into that wild side, our true inner nature, and let it out, the happier we’ll be. And so, in today’s episode I’m talking all about:

    The key to a woman’s happiness The jail we create in our own minds, stemming from when we were young How we escape from our jail How we lose our inner wild essence Taking lessons on wildness from a toddler How to reclaim and embrace our wild nature
