Episodi

  • Welcome to the final episode of season three!

    This is an intimate and vulnerable solocast with your host, Stephanie, as she reflects on the life-changing lessons from this transformative season of her life.

    Over the past year, Stephanie found herself at a crossroads, realizing she had lost touch with who she was and needed to make a profound change. That journey began with one crucial step: embracing the emotions she had avoided for so long.

    This path has led her from feeling like a victim, to becoming an observer of her life, and ultimately stepping into her power as a creator.

    As you’ll soon learn from this episode, the journey towards embracing her role as the creator in her life has required her to walk through the fire, embrace becoming ashes, and let go of life as she’s known it.

    Episode Highlights: - Why energy work and relying on others to remove your "trapped emotions" or "entities" won’t truly set you free. - The different types of karma and how they connect to the emotions you resist feeling. - A playful yet profound practice called Existential Kink; how it’s played a role in teaching Stephanie to embrace the darker, twisted emotions and edges of her mind - The concept of “hungry ghosts” and “phantoms”—and how to recognize if you are one

  • Welcome back to the show! We’re hitting 2025 strong with an interview with astrologer, acupuncture physician, and farmer, Dr. Steve Moreau. Dr. Steve would describe himself as a meta-physician, and within his practice of several decades, he does a beautiful job at combining the metaphysical with the medical.

    Today, we go full metaphysical and dive into astrology. We focus on the planets, particularly Saturn and this crazy thing it does in our lifetimes roughly around the ages of 27-32 of returning to its placement in the sky when we are born. Saturn is the planet of discipline, invaluable lessons, and tough love, so whether you’ve yet to hit your Saturn return, you’re in the thick of it, or on the other side, this conversation will help you understand what the hell happened to you during that time in your life.

    Highlights from this episode:

    - How illness (what we would describe as liver qi stagnation in TCM) brought him to Chinese Medicine, which eventually brought him to Sri Lanka, where he found astrology

    - The main differences between Vedic and western astrology

    - The different characters/consciousness of the planets within astrology

    - What the heck is a Saturn return and how to best navigate through it

    - The wild astrological forecast for the United States for the next 5 or so years

  • This week we tap into the whispers of Qi and Blood from the context of Chinese Medicine. A brief overview of the two for those unfamiliar with the two concepts: Qi is life force energy and Blood is a substantial form of life force which sustains life as we know it within these human bodies.

    Highlights from this episode:

    - The functions and different types of Qi within the body

    - How pregnancy and postpartum are opportunities to influence your overall constitution through Qi and Blood.

    - The functions of Blood, symptoms and how it influences our emotional and spiritual states

    - How plant medicine ceremonies held at night influence Blood and Qi

This 18 minute long meditation includes elements from SadhGuru’s Isha Kriya, inspiration from the letting go process by Dr. David R Hawkins, insights from the spiritual teacher Baba Ram Dass, and lessons learned from your guide, Stephanie, over the past six months.

  • This week on the show, your host shares one of the most life-changing experiences of her life to date. One month ago from today, she went on a week long Iboga retreat which was facilitated by Iboga retreat center, Root and Wisdom, and the nonprofit, No Fallen Heroes.

    Highlights from this episode:

    - The lessons within the first ceremony at the retreat where Stephanie called in her greatest fears

    - Stephanie’s realizations on how an addiction to suffering showed up in her relationships and her body

    - Her struggle with battling the sensations of discomfort and feeling unsettled in between ceremony 1 and 2

    - The valuable lessons from ceremony 2, which quite honestly broke her brain from what it used to be, providing her the opportunity to by default observe and love all experiences, thoughts, and emotions in her life

  • On this week’s episode, Bianca Book walks us through 1.9 million years of human history. As an archaeologist and anthropologist, Bianca has a special interest in southeastern archeology, food ways, and specializes in bioarchaeology (human remains).

    In order to know how and why we function as a species and to have a clear view of where we’re going, your host believes it’s valuable to understand where we’ve been as a species. We hope this episode brings you a deep appreciation for humans as a whole.

    It feels worth mentioning this episode feels extra special because not only is Bianca one of your host’s oldest friends, but she’s a long time listener of the show! So it felt like a real treat to have her join us.

    Episode highlights:

    The ancient history of our ancestors- Homo erectus, Homo sapiens, the Neanderthals, and Denisovans The evolution and adaption of certain physical characteristics according to our environment The mystery and various theories behind cave art and their possible connection with manifestation & shamanism indigenous rituals based around blood sacrifice, plant medicine (such as cacao), and purging

  • This week’s episode is a vulnerable share from your host, Stephanie, about her experience working through the first step in Al Anon. Al Anon is a group for loved ones of addicts, and within this group, Stephanie has found community and a path towards a new way of living. As she begins her work through the twelve steps, she’s found herself as a standstill within the first one: admitting she powerless over her attempts to control and manage her life when it has become unmanageable.

    Working through these steps is not for the faint of spirit- it requires full trust in a Higher Power and willingness to surrender to the path ahead.

    Highlights from this episode:

    - Her journey with her spirituality- from being raised within the Catholic religion, stepping away from her prior concepts of God and redefining her spirituality, and now once again finding herself at a crossroads,

    - The mixed bag of emotions she has towards the first step (we low key hate it lol).

    - Her journey of moving through fear and stepping away from the insanity of believing she can control and fix everything in her life.

    If you are feeling alone and hopeless within being affected by the sickness of addiction (in any respect), please do not hesitate to reach out and/or find your own Al Anon, AA or NA group. Overcoming this sickness requires letting people in- and sometimes it's hard to find the right people who get it.

  • Welcome back to the series on the Whispers of Clarity!

    This week for part two we’re doing a deep dive into qi gong. Qi gong is a practice of cultivating one’s qi, or life force energy. There are literally thousands of different styles but in a nutshell, this is a practice where one performs certain postures and movements which enhance their state of health and well-being.

    Your host, Stephanie, found qi gong form called Falun Gong (or Falun Dafa), during a time she when she was suffering from mold toxicity, extreme exhaustion, and anxiety. Because of her living situation, she was unable to feel herself fully process repressed emotions through her previous practice for clarity, the Dynamic Meditation by Osho (listen to this episode here), which can be loud and explosive.

    Falun Gong, done in virtual silence, was the perfect alternative which still had a profound effect on her state of being. Since finding Falun Gong all those years ago, Stephanie has found herself immersed in the world of qi gong (including medical qi gong) through her studies in Chinese Medicine. It has changed her life, and she knows it can change the life of anyone who is willing to dedicate themself to it.

    Highlights from this episode:

    - the fascinating history of qi gong which has its roots in nature and Chinese shamanism

    - how qi gong and the first masters of this practice influenced Chinese Medicine

    - how and why qi gong forms, such as Falun Gong can help you restore your body and energy field back to its perfect state

    - a deep dive into the 5 exercises of Falun Gong which are set up to restore balance, but also to enhance one’s supernatural abilities

    - details into the most important things to remember when starting your qi gong practice

  • Jazmin Payne is a grief educator, psychedelic integration coach, and massage therapist. On this week’s episode she vulnerably shares her journey of coming to ayahuasca while processing the death of two loved ones, and how this path guided her to be of selfless service to others.

    Through her journey with this plant medicine, she found community and eventually became an events coordinator for ayahuasca ceremonies. She soon found herself helping countless humans make sense of their journey with this plant medicine, and decided to get certified in psychedelic integration to better be of service. She has also dedicated herself to learning to embrace the mysterious process of grief (which is different for everyone) and has since become a certified grief educator.

    Jazmin lives her life guided by her purpose to help others both find themselves again and thrive through all of life’s transitions.

    Highlights from this episode:

    - How the grief of losing her brother and partner shifted her relationship with God, and how ayahuasca brought her back to her spirituality

    - She touches on the dark side of ayahuasca facilitators and “circus sitters” and shares advice on maintaining safety within this space

    - How one can show up for their loves ones in a time of grief, and why sharing the process of grief can be valuable for children

    1: Chaotic breathing: triggering sympathetic response

    2: Explosion/Catharsis: express everything that comes up

    3: “Hoo!” mantra: jump up and down and yell “hoo!”

    4: Freeze: stand in stillness and silence

    5: Celebration

  • This episode is all about betrayal; and with that comes forgiveness. We all experience it across our lives- whether that’s self betrayal, being on the receiving end of it, or being the one that’s betrayed another. As with most intense emotional events in life, each experience with betrayal comes with a lesson.

    After experiencing some pretty heavy betrayals earlier this year, your host, Stephanie, received some valuable lessons and insights which she shares with you. Through reflection, the letting go process, and using her vast array of tools, she also learned about the art of forgiveness.

    Highlights from this episode:

    - Why betrayal is nobody’s fault

    - Holistic modalities to help restore your body after a strong emotional experience such as betrayal, including a recent experience Stephanie had with a plant called Tepezchoite

    - A little dive into Polyvagal theory, and how one can use it to determine the right support while moving through hard times
