I was lucky to host this beautiful being, Luna Love, for a few weeks in my home this summer and was honored to have the opportunity to do an in-person interview with her as a return guest on the podcast. (Listen to Luna's original episode here) This happened to be right after Luna finished a death midwifery training, and I was astounded to hear all the information she had been learning about death and the funeral industry. After having my grandmother pass away last year, I have been thinking a lot about how our culture does not really prepare us for this powerful rite of passage moment.  This episode is FULL with information I believe we ALL need to know - both to prepare our loved ones, but also to prepare ourselves for a moment that we are all going to inevitably face one day. In this episode we discussed: Luna's story of losing her mother at 13, and her inspiration to become a midwife for those passing away Grief and how in our culture we often overlook opportunities to honor our grief in rite of passag

After watching a moving TEDx talk of Heather's journey overcoming cancer I was so looking forward to sit down with her and hear about her life journey.  Most of us don't think on a daily basis, "I'm going to die one day." Heather's story reminds us to live every moment to the fullest, be intentional creators in our life and ask, "How do I want to be remembered?" I hope you enjoy! "There is so much that our children teach us. They pick us. They pick us in this lifetime to say, 'You've got some lessons, and I am going to help you get there.'" In this episode we discuss: Heather's personal story of receiving a diagnosis of stage 4 cancer and how that changed her life Her healing journey and moments of awakening  How she came to form her business and what becoming a parent brought to her life Decoding the tantrum: What it means and how to shed the guilt and the parenting shame Raising successful children: How teaching mindful meditation can help children self-regulate How managing your energy (not your time) wil

Two years ago Mary Magdalene was honored by the Catholic church as The Apostle of the Apostles - and given a day in her honor July 22. This means so much for our awakening collective consciousness, that this powerful woman could no longer be shunned or shamed by the church, and on a larger scale speaks to how women are reclaiming their power. In honor of Mary Magdalene's Feast Day, July 22, I've put together a recording for you of the Rose lineage teachings that have most impacted my life: Feeling Your Pain & Emotions - how to navigate difficult emotions as they arise and use them as a pathway to your own source and divinity A Guided Process on Forgiveness Abundance Consciousness - Tapping into a state of enough & looking at the world from a lens of abundance Your Body & Sexuality as Sacred Portals to the Divine This recording is available for a limited time *For Free* when you sign up at risingwomenleaders.com  I hope you enjoy it! Love,  Meredith - Meredith Rom is a yoga teacher, author of Jus

It is a great honor to introduce you today to a personal guide and mentor of mine, Marin Bach-Antonson.  For the last year I have been participating in a 13 gateway Priestess Initiation Program led by Marin. It has been a truly transformational experience to embody principles of the sacred feminine in every area of my life.  In this conversation, Marin shares about the role of the Priestess, the rise of the feminine in our collective consciousness and one of the most simple and profoundly life-changing practices we can bring into our life right here and right now. "When you allow those feelings to be exactly as they are, then you have access to the feelings. You are not pushing the feelings down...you aren't trying to make them different,  yoga them away, journal them out, or juice fast them into dissolving. You're just being with them because you are allowing them. The only way out is through. It's the feeling of our feelings that ultimately gets us to the other side of them." In this episode we discussed:

A couple years ago I had the honor of participating in one of KC Baker’s courses, Speak Up for Your Business. At the time I had been an active member in my local Toastmasters group to overcome my fears of public speaking and was interested in learning KC's methods for speechwriting.  I was preparing to launch a Kickstarter fundraiser to publish my book, Just Be and although I had been practicing public speaking, I was still pretty terrified at the thought of taking the stage.  KC's training not only gave me a step by step process for writing the architecture, or, "bones" of my speech, but was also full with wisdom and unconventional practices that made me feel so much more confident at being seen and heard.  KC's work has been hugely transformational in my life and I am so honored to be sharing her wisdom with you today. In this conversation you'll learn how to transform fear and self-doubt around sharing your voice into total freedom, fun and confidence. KC also shares the powerful story of her son's birth a

For all the women feeling called to rise and honor the sacred feminine within themselves, this episode is for you. Lisa gives us beautiful reminders around seeing the sacredness of life in every moment... She helps us remember to ask for help from the higher forces, to embrace the magic in life, and find the gifts in our challenges.  I learned so much from her powerful story of motherhood, a near death experience, and her connection to Mary Magdalene. I'm honored to be sharing her wisdom with you all today... In this episode we discussed: Lisa's story of healing from childhood trauma ~ letting go of victimhood, and spiritual awakening Instantaneous healing ~ how the time we are in now it is possible! Angel channeling and how to connect with our personal angels How the angels respect our free will and what we can do to invite in the support of these higher forces Embodying the Priestess in our daily lives ~ how we can make the mundane sacred Mary Magdalene ~ who she is and how she is supporting us at this tim

Have you ever received a vision of yourself in a past life? Or just had a knowing that someone you met or experienced in this life is just all too familiar? Our latest guest Tiffani Lloyd explores exactly these kinds of questions in her work with the akashic records. I first met Tiffani at a women's retreat in Oakland and we instantly connected... I was so curious to learn about her work as an intuitive and spiritual healer and wondered how she supports her clients to reconnect with their past lives. Today's episode is full with wisdom for your spirit and soul growth. If you believe that your soul is here for a purpose (to learn, grow and ascend) this conversation is for you! "Magic is not this big thing that is out in the sky, it is right here. It is through our every day actions that we create the change we need for ourselves in our lives." In this episode we discussed: How Tiffani discovered her spiritual path and psychic abilities What are the akashic records - and how do we access them? Tiffani's insigh

I am so excited and honored to be sharing this episode with you today with Mahita Gorris. I met Mahita last December in 2017 when I was at Amma’s ashram in India ~ one of the places I write about in my book href="http://bit.ly/mr-justbe">Just Be. Seven years had passed since my first visit at Amma’s ashram and I was so excited to go back to one of my favorite spots - the meditation beach. This was a beautiful stretch of beach front on the Arabian Sea where I used to cherish the sunrises and sunsets practicing yoga, writing in my journal and drinking chai.  I imagined what it would be like to arrive again at this very spot. I was hoping for union. Merging. Expansion. Love.  But at first all I saw was a recycling center erected in the very place I used to sit. Trash was everywhere. Mountains of it, waiting to be sorted. My first reaction was that I was pissed. My ego was on fire.  How could they do this? To this sacred spot? Where I remembered my heart? Trash, just trash. Everywhere. And then, of course, I was

A few weeks ago I attended my first Tantra class with Rosalie Amber Grace. While many of us associate Tantra with sexuality, I've learned it is much more about a way of being in the world. I see tantra as an approach to life ~ embracing all, being fully present, and allowing the material world (including our sexuality) to be a pathway to awakening.  I felt so nourished from the sweet & simple practices Rosalie shared with us in her class that I invited her to be on the podcast to share with all of you. Rosalie has also had years of training as a doula and fertility awareness educator, so I hope you enjoy this rich information full with wisdom of the womb. Happy listening!  "For me tantra really illustrates this truth that we don't have to change ourselves to be spiritual...We don't have to be someone that we are not. It's exactly in our present experience right now that we discover the love and bliss that we are longing for. We can use any experience as a portal to that place." In this episode we discusse

When I first started my business as an entrepreneur I quickly learned there were A LOT of fears I would encounter. Everything from being seen, presenting and teaching, to looking at my relationship to money, charging from my services, leading a webinar for the first time ~ there was so much that made me want to run away and hide.  If only I had Kate's new book,The Courage Habit, when I started this wild journey of following my heart...!  But luckily, I did have the support of people I loved, and I was able to call upon my courage, and face many of my fears. In this conversation Kate shares about the research behind our fears and what holds us back from living courageously. She also shares a four part process for courage, and the fears she still faces today.  This is a great episode for all you entrepreneurs, coaches and writers, as we both share our experiences of growing a team and publishing a book. In this episode we discussed: Kate's personal journey with perfectionism, change, and creating her b

After being on birth control pills for years growing up, Jaime Morocco was surprised to discover her natural menstrual cycle did not return when she went off of them. After years of focusing on fitness, this brought up a new question, "What do I need to do to bring my body back into balance?" Jaime discovered that over-exercising and dietary restrictions were at the root of not having her period. After trying many protocols including gaining back weight and adding more healthy fats into her diet she was able to find that balance. Jaime is passionate about supporting others to connect to their intuition and inner wisdom when it comes to feeling good in their body. We also discussed the power of manifestation, pursuing our dreams as entrepreneurs and the journey of marriage in our conversation.  In this episode we discussed: Jaime's story: her journey of healing and why she left the world of Silicon Valley & moved in with her parents and boyfriend at age 30 in order to pursue her dreams of entrepreneurship

I met MacKenzie sophomore year of high school, and it has been amazing to watch her journey unfold over the years to where she is now. After dedicating her entire life to swimming, on the path to be in the Olympics, life took a surprising turn, and she was asked to surrender those plans. After taking some time to grieve what she thought her life would be, she created a new dream.  Before she knew it she was participating in her very first pageant to be Miss District of Columbia, and to her surprise, she won. She went on to compete in Miss USA and soon after graduated from Columbia University with an MBA.  In our conversation we also talk about MacKenzie's life growing up ~ what she learned from her father, Ernest Green, who faced extreme adversity and racism in his life when he became the first black man to graduate from what was one of the nation's largest all-white high schools in Little Rock, Arkansas. MacKenzie's story reminds us to stay strong in the face of adversity, always remember our dreams and remi

Talking with Lisa was like a deep breath of fresh air. I felt a total permission to slow down, remember my body, my breath and my heart. For all of you who have been moving fast, trying to "do it all", just waiting for that moment to have a sacred pause, you are going to love taking this time to surrender to the feminine in this conversation with Lisa today.  I hope you enjoy the show!  "This quality of magnetic, shakti, potency came from me learning to love myself, me learning to delight in the birthright of my own sacred sensual self as a woman." In this episode we discussed: How Lisa shifted from a lifestyle of overachieving to finding balance with her feminine essence A turning point in her life when she had two miscarriages and how that brought her deeper on her path Sacred Sensuality and tapping into our Feminine Power Finding Balance as Modern Day Lovers, Mother and Leaders The miracle of being invited to be on "Oprah" to talk about tantra with her past husband A guided embodiment practice to connect

The truth is racism still exists. It exists in our subconscious - as a memory in our bodies from our ancestry. It exists from past traumas of our ancestors still yearning to be healed. It exists in our conditioning, our society and how many of us were raised... Many people have been in denial of its existence, but with Trump taking office, what has seemed to be under the surface for many has only become more and more real. People of color have seen and experienced it all along, and thankfully, more and more of us have been waking up to this truth. Not long after I set the intention to further educate myself about white privilege and racism, I received an email out of the blue from a friend I haven't talked to in years ...connecting me to Michelle and her work. So what can we do? I sat down to talk with Michelle Johnson to learn more about privilege, oppression and racism and her unique approach of integrating the teachings of yoga with social justice. I am so grateful to share her wisdom with you all today.

Learn more + apply right here. What I learned from Maga in this episode was truly transformative. I had just gone through a week on my moon cycle, trying to push myself to get clear on a schedule for the next month of business promotions, but literally all I wanted to do was stay in bed. It was so hard for me to feel motivated and get clear on what was coming. I kept wondering why I wasn't able to "get my act together." Then magically, a few days after my moon time, a surge of energy rushed through me and I was more productive than ever. Suddenly I had the mental clarity to take steps forward and was able to make a clear schedule for the following month. It wasn't until I talked to Maga that I realized this was all related to where I was in my cycle. Learning the archetypes for each phase of a woman's menstrual cycle was so enlighte

Become a Patron Today. One of the things I loved most about sitting down to talk with Erin was when we touched on the topic of comparing ourselves to other women. I think one of the deepest wounds that can really be a challenge when stepping into true sisterhood and community is when we get stuck comparing ourselves to other people. It brings us right into the question of wondering, is there really enough for everyone? How can we be so similar to each other, carry a similar mission and still be special and unique? These are just some of the questions we explored in this week's episode. We also discussed our shared journeys of navigating chronic pain and how that relates to being an empath, Erin's definitions of a "starseed" and "priestess" and which plant spirits will guide you into a

When Amanda Johnson and I found each other we saw so many parallels in our journeys - writing and publishing our first books, running a crowdfunding campaign to do so, taking steps to be more visible and share our stories and the journey of remembering we are truly worthy of our dreams…  If you’ve ever felt inspired to write a book, are ready to release the judgments of your own inner critic, or follow your true heart’s desires, this conversation is for you. In this episode we discussed: Amanda’s experience of writing and birthing a book Her journey of “becoming enough” and what “enough” means to her The role of desire in our lives The inner critic ~ how to speak with her to gain the wisdom she is here to give The Heroine’s Journey and how we often “reject the call” before following our heart’s desires Leaving a marriage after choosing to trust and listen to her inner voice The grace and flow of life takes on when you start listening to your intuition How Amanda and I handle comparison with other women in th
