Isa Rocio
The Emotional Alchemist Podcast is hosted by Isa Rocio. This virtual space offers a nuanced mix of deep insight, and practical advice for navigating healing and self-actualization as your *own* healer. In this household we advocate for embracing your sensitivity and using it as your power; discerning what's best for your personal journey, instead of following the masses; knowing the universe is a guiding force while also trusting your intuition above all else; and finding that sweet spot within being a divine/powerful af extension of the cosmos, and a messy/emotional af/growing human. 
ep 64. women's desire is a weapon (the most important one we have)
This episode deconstructs how what has historically been demonized and weaponized against women (women's desire and feminine sensuality) is actually the most important weapon we have in our arsenal. We explore the magic and sacredness desire outside of a patriarchal lens, how suppressed desire is actually more destructive than having a healthy relationship with it, and what tapping into our divinely-led desires actually gives women: the power of choice within our own life (and our collective)...

ep 63. women's sensuality is about more than pleasure.
This episode reframes how we understand 'sensuality', outside the context of patriarchy, and within the context of understanding this human experience. Sensuality is not just about pleasure (though there's a reason why pleasure has been demonized in women for so long), it's also about safety, survival, and personal power. We discuss how a practice of sensualism lends itself to deeper intuition, stronger discernment, a greater capacity for self-governing, and how our ability to experience plea...

ep 61. you're stalling again.
This episode of The Emotional Alchemist is a call to action: it's time to stop stalling your path forward by looking over your shoulder at what's no longer for you. If you've been having doubts about what you've decided to walk away from, let go of, and leave behind in life, this is your reminder: as the hero of your own story, you can't simply stop in the midst of so much progress and turn back. There's WAY more for you and your growth in the void than in the familiar, stagnant path you left...

ep 60. finding true alignment (and Spirit) in pursuit of relentless creativity.
This episode of The Emotional Alchemist is a passionate proclamation that creativity is one of the most important spiritual practices a woman can have if she seeks to come home to herself. We discuss what 'alignment' and the process of 'becoming' actually is, why many women along their healing journey *obsessively* seek out knowledge and tools to aid their evolution, and how creativity is not only a way to commune with Spirit, but it is also the only tool that may finally guide us to wholenes...
