“Beautiful are those whose brokenness gives birth to transformation and wisdom.” – John Green "our greatest pain can become our greatest pleasure"  Jada Kalika Listen up and hear Jada Kalika talk about how digging into and working on our triggers and pain releases the beauty and joy that is also who we are.  We can shine because we are worthy and that is our ultimate goal.  It is in facing our darkness that we truly become and see our beauty and find our deepest pleasure.  Hear Jada talk about facing her own darkness and the tools she uses to tranform and transmute the pain.   We all have the opportunity to face whatever we need to face in that shadow,  and be our truest selves.  Let us tap into the full realization of our rainbow bodies, and find what is unresolved and what needs to be held and healed. As we embark on this sacred journey, we wake up to our inner healer and inner artist.  We can and are transforming and creating a new and shining vision of ourselves and others.  Not only did Jada paint me... she also painted Cristina when she came to Las Vegas to visit me.  Jada enhanced Cristina's Warrior Goddess beauty! I am so grateful!

“She is a wild, tangled forest with temples and treasures concealed within.”― John Mark Green The divine masculine and divine feminine are far beyond our mistaken ideas of gender labels. Instead, it is a pathway to eternal bliss when harnessed in balance and harmony. We as humans are capable of channelizing the power of these sacred energies and create a place that defines humanity in its true spirit.” ~ Bhanushree Goyal This is the first time I've interviewed two people at the same time! and I couldn't have chosen better than Jada and Jeff!  Their individual and combined energy created an enlightening, healing and transforming experience.  So Listen Up! Take this journey with them, as they talk about some personal experiences, working with our "shadow," and remembering who we actually are, always were, and always will be.   As we remember who we are, we heal ourselves, each other and the planet at the highest, most sacred level. Be enchanted and inspired as Jada and Jeff  guide us through this labyrynth of lies, pain and distortion we live in and we become more grounded and alive.  With love at the center, we can remember how to connect with the kundalini energy that is truly in all of us and brings us back home to ourselves.  We can be the change we want to see, and have the power to transform the world with integrity and hope. Jada and Jeff help us remember and reclaim our true Divinity. To learn more about Jada's offerings, her website is www.wolfin.ca and for Jeff's offerings, www.breatharmy.com. “Spiritual maturity  is about nurturing, honoring, and balancing both sides of your nature. And ALL men, women, and non-binary people/trans, possess both the masculine and feminine aspects inside. Ignoring, suppressing, demonizing, or treating one type of energy as “less than” another is immature and ultimately creates suffering. Don’t give fuel to your shadow self. Don’t perpetuate more division within this world. Learn how to awaken both types of energy within yourself in a healthy way.” ~ Aletheia Luna Stay tuned for Podcast 22.

“Originally and naturally, sexual pleasure was the good, the beautiful, the happy, that which united man with nature in general. When sexual feelings and religious feelings became separated from one another, that which is sexual was forced to become the bad, the internal, the diabolical.”― Wilhelm Reich, The Mass Psychology of Fascism This is my second interview with my dear friend Jada Kalika and it really blew me away... and will do the same for you! Listen as Jada talks about how blending spirituality and sexuality is joyful, healing and transforming.  The separation of spirituality and sexuality has torn us apart, detaching us from our true, powerful and beautiful selves.  Learn how connecting to the internal serpent, the kundalini energy that is truly in all of us, brings us back home to ourselves.  And each other.   Sexuality is beautiful, sacred and connects us to the Divine. Take this journey with Jada as she enchants and inspires us to be the change want to see.  We have the power to change the world from preying on each other to praying for each other with integrity and hope.  To learn more about Jada's magical teachings and offerings, check out her website: wolfkin.ca.  fawnkellyphotography.

“Let everything happen to you Beauty and terror Just keep going No feeling is final” ― Rainer Maria Rilke I'm in the very middle of some very "challenging" times in many ways.  This is almost the seventh "anniversary" of Cristina's putting aside her sword in this life... and the pain of losing her is unbearable.   At the same time, on so many levels. our relationship is stronger than ever!!! and as I've said, I know she's running the show.  It is the incredible pain and fear in my life, and life in general,  that has also given me the opportunity to discover and store up incredible beauty, joy and courage.  Let's hold fast to the heroine and hero that is truly in all of us. No matter the circumstances. “Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral.” ― Mahatma Gandhi --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/madeline-goldstein7/support

“You are heir to a heavenly fortune, the sole beneficiary of an infinite spiritual trust fund, a proverbial goldmine of sacred abundance beyond all common measure or human comprehension. But until you assert your rightful inheritance of this blessed gift, it will remain unclaimed and forever beyond your reach.” – Anthon St. Maarten Today is International Bereaved Mother’s Day!

“You’re not a victim for sharing your story. You are a survivor setting the world on fire with your truth. And you never know who needs your light, your warmth, and raging courage”. Alex Elle This is being the hardest podcast I’ve done because I’m finally feeling and talking about what happened to me through everything with Cristina. And I’ve shed many tears in this process. In a way... also reliving everything... I have clearly needed to do this and I’m also very glad it’s done! As I’ve said, the podcasts are also doing me and this one definitely is. My book was more about Cristina. Her courage, warrior spirit and how she endured the unendurable. Now it’s time to tell my story!! I know doing this will help heal my broken heart and shattered nervous system. And I will move forward with more peace, now truly giving to myself all the love and compassion I sent out so willingly and endlessly to Cristina.  I don’t know exactly where this will take me, but I trust someplace better, more free, joyful, radiating health, power and magic. It is also my honor to talk about the millions of other caregivers who have willingly, lovingly, courageously given everything to care for a loved one. As I share my story,   I am more in touch with who I am and what I’ve done more than ever before in my life.  I’m filled with gratitude, excitement and more passion for life. Thank you Cristina!

“Women have always cradled within their bodies secret mysteries of life, death, and rebirth and the healing, grounding, and balancing powers of our Mother in the Earth. We have held these mysteries sacred within us as we would carry babies in our wombs.” ― Elizabeth Eiler, Singing Woman: Voices of the Sacred Feminine Take this journey with your Bronx Warrior Goddess as Fire Goddess Jada Fire, Dakshina Kalika shares her incredible stories, beginning with her intuitive calling to go to Australia for healing.  This experience was the beginning of  her life's study and work with indigenous cultures, nature studies and travels to sacred lands around the world. Jada's numerous gifts, talents and teachings span many areas including art, yoga, expressive yoga, dance medicine, fire dancing, healing herbs, and creating sacred space transmuting pain into beauty and joy.  You will be fascinated, intrigued and enlightened as Jada talks about the shamanic healings she has experienced throughout her life. She shares her knowledge of how we can tap into our own Inner Healer and Power.  As we love and honor ourselves, we love and honor the planet. We are inextricably connected.  We need only open our hearts, minds and spirits and know that within us, as within the planet, there is healing, rejuvenation, hope and love.  Jada talks about her primordial practices such as holding rocks, sending prayers to whatever healing herbs we use, being barefoot on the soil.  She has created a Wellness Sanctuary and a performance troupe, Wolfkin, on her land in Canada and is in the process of creating a Primordial Mystery School.  She has also recently been initiated as a Shamaness into the Medicine Wheel School.  So sit back, relax or take a walk and listen as Jada shares her incredible journeys with us...  and maybe find a rock that calls to you... let the earth nurture and heal you.  Her website wolfkin.ca will soon be available, so stay tuned!   "Oma says, when we were put on earth a really long time ago, each person came with a plant to heal all the troubles that come later ...

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes."  Carl Jung So many of us seek happiness, validation and self esteem from external sources. One never knows, however, when anything and everything can be taken away from us. It is imperative that we use whatever tools and teachers we can find that lead us to the path of awakening to our real selves. It is only when in balance that we can realize and recognize who we truly are and that our mind, body and spirit are one.  We are interconnected with all that is, and it is in cultivating the stillness of the mind that we can be restored and renewed at the deepest level. This allows our inner radiance to shine through, find peace and connect with the specialness in all of us. As we tap into and experience our real power, we quiet the emotional clutter that creates blockages and pain.  Close your eyes, relax and listen as Walter's energy and words inspire and lead us on the inward journey to love, tranquility and joy. “you must want to spend the rest of your life with yourself first” ― Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey Tune in soon to Podcast 15:  "Healing Ourselves and the Planet."  Interview with Jada Fire, Dakshina Kalila More great interviews and stories to come!

“Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.” – Joseph Campbell I grew up in a world of pain, poverty and feeling like I didn't deserve anything but the misery I was surrounded with. Once I began to really feel this pain,  I also realized how fabulous and magnificent I always was and am.  On the other side of pain is awakening and transformation.  I found that what was buried along with the pain, was my beauty, self-respect and self-love. I am finally now living my own life, filled with joy and gratitude.  We all have different struggles, but no matter what, we can tap into our own inner healer/alchemist and rebuild ourselves into the beautiful beings we actually are.  We can embody and live our truly sacred relationship with ourselves and others.  Living our lives true to the core and heart of who we are.  No longer riddled with self doubt, self sabatoge, and constant negative self talk.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgYczUH-QWQ “Find out who you are and be that person.
