Angel's Authentic Action Podcast
Gabrielle Angel Lilly
Welcome to Angel’s Authentic Action Podcast, Sensual by Design series, brought to you by FunFast Productions and GAL Media, and supporting the Authentic Action School online. I’m your host, Gabrielle Angel Lilly, and I am here to wake you up, shake you up, maybe even break you up a little bit; by challenging your beliefs, examining our social constructs and biases, and offering diverse perspectives on living a good life.On this show, I will be interviewing and conversing with outstanding creators—artists, activists, actors, authors, poets, performers, musicians, movers, shakers, builders, teachers, preachers, healers, entrepreneurs, explorers, seekers, and speakers, who are deliberately designing lives they love, or at least, mostly love, with the intention of bringing you motivation, information, and inspiration to help you design a life you can love. I hope you will find sparks here which will expand your personal awareness and understanding of different perspectives; and fan the flames of your own unique desires.I like to dive in deep to uncover what motivates us, what scares us, what we love; and why and how we do the things we do.I believe we are ultimately all one, and also, each of us is a unique, tiny shiny ever-evolving spark of this Great Universe. I think we owe it to ourselves, and to each other, to explore and expand what we want to become, and to do what we can to become it. When any one of us builds a better life, it uplifts us all towards a better life. Especially when we share with one another.The Authentic Action School is an online school, specializing in empowerment, self-discovery, and helping you create a life you love. The aim of the Angel’s Authentic Action Podcast is to offer a platform for unique voices to express themselves, to share diverse perspectives and lifestyles, demonstrate peaceful conflict resolution and nonconformity, and expand our awareness and acceptance of one another, as well as to bring some lightness and some humor to potentially heavy topics. I hope you will find this show informative, uplifting, and inspiring. I value and appreciate your attention, and I welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions. New episodes will be out weekly, and replays are always available on all your favorite platforms.You can learn more about me and the Authentic Action School on most major social media platforms, and you can find my music, art, and other personal published works on Amazon, YouTube, and Spotify.
Festivus For The Rest Of Us and The Shadow Mandala
Send us Fan Mail Holidays aren’t one-size-fits-all, and pretending they are can drain our spark. We lean into Festivus as a fresh frame for honesty—airing real grievances, naming the masks we wear to fit in, and choosing a small, brave reset when life feels stuck in the middle. I share why I’m running a 10-day personal reset anchored by a shadow mandala, a simple visual practice for meeting the parts of ourselves we’ve exiled as “too much” or “not enough,” and how that work helps chronic dis-...

Lying Hurts Liars, Let's talk about the spectrum of honesty... Sensual by Design
Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Sensual by Design. This episode is about Honesty. Most of us think or say we value honesty, but then why do we lie so much? In my experience we all lie, to ourselves and each other, at least to some degree. I have long been curious and confused about why intention seems to matter so much when it comes to how dishonesty makes me feel. We lie by omission, accident, by being misinformed, and lack of memory or cognition. We are not always even aware w...

Send us Fan Mail Did you know that your sense of smell has more impact on your emotions than any of your other senses? As far as we know, this is because the olfactory bulbs are actually directly connected to the limbic system of our brains. Your limbic system includes the amydala--thought to be the seat of our emotions, and the hippocampus, though to be the center of associated learning. So, that is why certain odors can trigger specific memories and the emotions associated with them A...

Let's Talk About Balance & Polarity!
Send us Fan Mail Why doooo dairy cows lose their balance so easily? Let's talk about it series with ZGal--The Art Angel. Wishing we would never get out of balance...that is the wish of a dead person! Things are not so binary--no longer this OR that. The new paradigm allows for BOTH-AND. We are entering a more and more global perspective and the more narrowly focused paradigm of either-or does not serve us very well in many circumstances. When looking for balance, it is best to avoid stagnatio...
