In this episode...

From my own personal experience and through witnessing countless others on their spiritual journeys, I explore the awakening process and how it unfolds through the mind, heart, and body. This transformative journey is cyclical, involving expansion and contraction. I also share my personal Kundalini awakening experiences and explain the following stage: the descent, often known as the "dark night of the soul."

I SHARE A POEM CALLED RISE SISTER RISE.

Rise Sister Rise is from my second book of the same title. The poem "Rise Sister Rise" is a powerful call to action, encouraging resilience and inner strength in the face of life's challenges and urging people to embrace and rise above their hardships with courage and grace.

Nancy and I dive into the depths of shadow work and its transformative power. As I reflect on my own journey with her book and meditations, I’m struck by how essential this work is for unlocking our gifts and reclaiming the parts of ourselves we’ve disowned. Nancy shares her own experience of how a personal crisis became the catalyst for embracing shadow work, revealing how our shadow can create chaos when left unattended. She emphasizes the importance of telling ourselves the truth and recognizing how our shadow shows up, often in unexpected ways.

We also explore the relationship between shadow and gift, discussing how qualities we reject in ourselves often manifest in others, serving as mirrors for our own growth. Nancy’s insights into embracing both sides of ourselves—whether it’s being self-sufficient and needy, or a perfectionist and a mistake maker—highlight the importance of wholeness and integration. Her wisdom and personal experience shine through, making it clear that shadow work is not just about healing but also about reclaiming our full power and potential.
