27. Caitlyn Howe: Fully Expressed - Reclaiming the Power of the Goddess Within

Kidnapped by a rebel group, Nisha was weaponized for civil war before the age of 12. She was married at 15, widowed by 17 with two babies, and nearly died in a catastrophic Tsunami that rendered her unconscious for a month. This young woman has scars and shrapnel to remind her of what she survived, yet she has never allowed any of it to victimize her. If you want to know what a human is capable of overcoming, listen to Nisha’s story. Connect with Shantih Ma: https://linktr.ee/shantih_ma

From what we “should be” to playing with what and who we want to be. Caitlyn and I sit down to discuss how to find the power of the Goddess within, remove the "mask", and just BE. We explore sexuality, what it means to be "beautiful, sexy, and acceptable", and how to shake off our limited societal conditioning. From shame, humiliation, and hiding behind our personas, to true full self-expression. This is a deep exploration of the shadow archetypes that exist within each of us, empowering sisters to reclaim their right to be powerful, wild, and free. Caitlyn Howe is a writer, personal transformation coach for the Aubrey Marcus Fit For Service Fellowship program, and an intuitive experiential facilitator for practices such as ecstatic dance, breathwork, meditation, and kundalini yoga. Her areas of focus include shadow work, divine feminine healing, and authentic embodiment. With a dynamic history of tested life experience, overcoming her own struggles through various modalities of self-healing, mentorship, and plant medicine journeys, she is passionate about supporting others in radical self-expression, overcoming shame, finding unity through community, and reclaiming a sense of individual wholeness for greater collective harmony.

I sit down with Daniele Bolleli to discuss the human propensity toward darkness and chaos but to instead shine a light on all that is beautiful and heroic within us, despite the cards stacked against us. We explore the difference between “true evil” versus mere frustration and fear built up and then projected outward, and whether or not “evil” people actually know they are evil or if perhaps they think their evil deeds are rather virtuous. We then dive into how a lapse in stress management and overwhelm may cloud our character permanently should we choose not to learn from our mistakes. And then move onto the very important distinction between self-examination, self-condemnation, and refusal to acknowledge our errors at all.  Daniele Bolelli is an Italian writer, university professor, martial artist, and podcaster based in Southern California. He is the author of several books on philosophy, and martial arts, including On the Warrior's Path.[2] Known for his writing since the 1990s in Italy and the early 2000s in the United States, Bolelli rose to greater public prominence in the 2010s, beginning with his appearances on popular podcasts such as The Joe Rogan Experience.

Bolelli holds M.As in American Indian Studies and history from UCLA and California State University, Long Beach, and did postdoctoral research in history at Cardiff University.[3] As a professor, he has taught a wide variety of courses in the arts, humanities, and social sciences on topics including Native American history and culture, Taoist philosophy, and Ancient Rome.

Have you ever experienced deep shame after expressing anger, even though you had a good reason to be angry in the first place? After all, “good girls” don’t get angry, don’t cause waves, and are supposed to be "nice". But what’s the cost of not expressing your emotions? In today’s episode, I sit down with medicine woman, sound alchemist, and sister, Vylana Marcus. In this conversation, we discuss her journey, exploring how she healed, transformed, and learned to integrate anger in an incredibly powerful way, channelling the archetype, Kali Ma. More often than not, anger is signalling to us that something is out of alignment; such as a violation of our boundaries or a relationship that isn’t healthy for us. In this conversation, we dive into healing within a safe container (aka sacred union), how to release self-judgment, love ourselves unconditionally, and move into authentic self-expression.  Wailana is a medicine woman who uses heart-centred modalities to guide people through the realization of their potential. As a sound alchemist, her mission is to use the science of sound to facilitate personal transformation and to help liberate people from the stories that keep them from living in the Truth of their magnificence. Her unique ability to manipulate frequency through her voice and instrumentation allows her to generate sound structures that affect the human on a holistic level. As a facilitator of psychoacoustic experiences for individuals and groups, she has witnessed sound act as a technology for accelerated healing, transformation, and the manifestation of desired states of being. Her vision is to connect people with the inner master that exists within everyone to reclaim the authority as the authors of their lives - and in doing so supporting the rebalancing of our world.

Feeling frisky and on fire, or would you rather just eat a pizza and watch Netflix? How are your balls? Lady balls? (Jk- I just really wanted to say "balls" at some point in the show notes). If you'd prefer the latter, you could be experiencing some hormonal imbalances.

What's the difference between Spirituality, Spiritual Bypassing, and Psychosis? What are woo-woo and out-of-touch spiritual concepts versus grounded and rooted curiosity and wonder for the magic of life? Join us today for this very interesting conversation as we tread territory into this slippery subject matter. We do our best to work out some of our own queries about how to balance a spiritual life while still keeping a solid grasp on reality.  Clay Roth is a mental health advocate, therapist-in-training, former comedian, as well as TEDx speaker.

Can darkness not only be the catalyst for something bigger but also be the very initiation into your superpower? Bronson Lee Norton is a professional musician, athlete, podcaster, philosopher, bow-hunter, and bronze medal recipient for bravery. He is the host of “The Barbaric Wisdom” podcast as well as the founder of Moss and Blood, an apparel company for athletes and outdoorsmen.  In this episode, we dive into a story, an act of heroism, that would forever change Bronson Lee Norton’s life. After saving a woman from a violent sexual assault, March 26, 2015, Bronson fell into a darkness, that he once believed, he would never return from. He walks us through his experience on that fateful day but then takes us on a journey to the now. From a once hell, to a deeply enriched and full life now, filled with spiritual and emotional healing, and most of all gratitude, that has come as a result of this VERY experience. We explore his journey with first nations medicine, the tools he uses to navigate the difficulties of life and himself, as well as his advice to others who may currently be at their rock bottom. His message and his story are incredibly powerful, so I highly recommend listening through to the end.
