Women Seeking Wholeness

If you feel a pull to use art, creativity and/or words to move through deep emotions, this episode will be powerful for you.   After decades of suppressing her pain and trying to be the "perfect" woman, a series of profound life transitions catapulted my friend Andrea Seiler into a dark night of the soul. She writes under the pen name @cheydrea (a blend of her name and her daughter Cheyenne's) and vulnerably shares her journey of excavating her shadows and traumas through the raw, uncensored act of writing poetry…in her book, "A Poet's Playground: Savage Poetry for Inner Child Healing.”   Through the process of "hemorrhaging" her emotions onto the page, Andrea learned to give voice to her long-silenced inner child and discovered that self-compassion and self-love were the keys to her healing.   How writing can be used as a TOOL for processing grief, pain & trauma The critical need to honor the wounded INNER CHILD'S VOICE Words and language as a PORTAL for rebirth, worthiness & reclaiming the sel

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions of suicide, which may be distressing to some listeners.   I sit down with my beloved sister Robin Jones (@therobinjones) as we vulnerably share our family journey of dealing with a devastating loss, breaking generational patterns, and boldly claiming our soul paths and purpose.    Through our shared work in the holistic mental health & neuroscience-based healing space, Robin and I have made interesting discoveries with the power of natural solutions, feminine leadership, and alignment with your true calling. We co-founded the Essential Emotions Coaching Certification Program and have shared stages throughout the world, educating and empowering mothers and families. Robin is a mother of 8, an accredited strategic biz & transformational life coach, and successful international wellness business owner.   Losing our sister to mental illness as the catalyst that moved us into mind-body science & alternative healing modalities…along with our deep, rel

Do you frequently feel spiritually "weak" or unworthy? Like you're getting it wrong in God's eyes no matter how hard you try? What if the divine ground of your being was always there, unshakable and unchanging, no matter what you did or didn't do? If you've struggled with feeling spiritually flawed, this episode will be a balm for your heart. Immersive Meditation expert Julie Scott (@itsabouttimebaby_julie) vulnerably shares her journey from religious [Catholic] dogma and self-doubt to spiritual freedom. After decades of trying to be the "good girl", a series of profound awakenings, including the sudden loss of her sister, catapulted Julie into a deeper exploration of her own soul's truth. Through meditation and A Course in Miracles, she discovered that love and worthiness were her birthright all along. Julie's "5 New Truths" offer a powerful framework for remembering our divine essence.    The liberating realization that WE ARE NOT OUR BODIES, (but rather the consciousness or awareness animating our physic

Anger can move us towards our purpose in powerful ways. This discussion explores the liberating power of anger and how to cultivate a healthy relationship with it.    I get personal in this one, sharing my real feelings about being gaslit regarding the acute betrayal trauma I experienced in my religious deconstruction.   Bronwyn Schweigerdt is a psychotherapist specializing in anger and its impact on mental health: "I have found that depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mania, psychosis…much of it is ANGER TURNED INWARD."    The importance of DEVELOPING A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP with ANGER (instead of suppressing or externalizing it)   Why ANGER MANAGEMENT techniques don’t usually work (they reinforce the idea that the individual is "the problem" and don't address root causes)   The path to becoming an INTEGRATED WHOLE person by expressing anger authentically through assertive speech and boundaries   WATCH this episode on Cherie’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SoulRoseShow ..

What is a “Medial Woman”? [She who is a connecting link between seen & unseen realms; She who bridges opposites & helps restore lost wisdom to those who have forgotten.]   Is this you?    Throughout history, these uniquely gifted women have played crucial roles in society, though the dominant culture has often misunderstood or pathologized them (as in, the witch wound). Drawing from her own lived experience as well as in-depth research, my new friend Dr. Roberta “Bobbie” Corson shines a light on this powerful yet overlooked type of feminine embodiment.   I absolutely ate up Dr. Corson’s book, "Stepping out of the Shadows: Naming and Claiming the Medial Woman Today" where she delves into the transformative journey of embracing your true archetypes, beyond societal expectations.   Navigating the challenging "LIMINAL" or thresholds between realms Understanding 4 FEMININE ARCHETYPES outlined by Toni Wolff Discerning the medial path through GROUNDING practices      WATCH this episode on Cherie’s Yo

I'm thrilled to share this special trailer for the relaunch of my podcast, The Soul Rose Show. After 222 episodes and 5 years of my previous show, Stand Speak Shine, I took a podcasting sabbatical…And now, I'm returning with a reimagined focus on feminine-themed spirituality, mindbody science and conscious soul evolution.   The number 222 holds deep mystical meaning for me, which is why I originally launched my first podcast episode on 2/22/2019 at 2:22 am. My podcast has organically grown to be ranked in the top 2% globally, with hundreds of thousands of downloads and loyal listeners from all over the world. I'm so grateful for your support!   The Soul Rose Show will marry ANCIENT FEMININE WISDOM with science-based WHOLE BODY HEALING.

I'm honored to continue guiding our journeys ahead on this podcast relaunch!     Follow me (Cherie!) on

2’s and 22’s are special to me, for synchronous sacred feminine reasons.  This episode will be my last episode for a while, friends. I’m taking a podcast and social media sabbatical in order to finish two book projects! One of the book’s contents is explored in this episode…   We are living in a time of emotional honesty and the healing of lineages. I have felt the unresolved, misplaced feelings in my body that women in my 7 generation Mormon matrilineal line could not fully feel in theirs. In 2018, I finally took POLYGAMY off my psychological shelf, went on a sacred Mary Magdalene Pilgrimage to France, and found myself spinning into an awakening I never expected.    There can be a collision of two paths in your spiritual life, where exploration of feminine equality and problematic history comes face-to-face with the structures and beliefs of your faith. It can be a space of tension and tremendous discomfort, being confronted with the limitations and inconsistencies you’re discovering within your religious tr

Are you in the middle of a very disorienting life situation that is literally halting you in your tracks?  Sometimes we’re called to embrace uncertainty to receive deeper lessons in self-discovery. Sometimes trauma leads us to the darkest depths, where we uncover deep truths to illuminate our beautiful wholeness.   It just SUCKS when we’re smack dab in the middle of it…!   My guest expert Danielle Matthews @_daniellematthews_ healed a life-altering injury to her brain, refusing to accept her bleak medical diagnosis. She went on to build an international business, author an ebook, and now shares her experience to inspire others. Danielle teaches a powerfully inspiring concept called POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH SYNDROME.   Impactful ways to be present in the dark What’s a “sacred contract” and how can it give context to traumatic situations? What to do about the fear of not being as “impactful” post-transformation How can we embrace the concept of duality and the lessons that darkness teaches us without succu

What is the significance of Mary Magdalene and how can we connect with her essence for healing & empowerment? How can we as women reclaim our wisdom & power in the face of collective fears? Ya’ll who follow me KNOW how much I love Mary M! My guest today is a true leader in the sacred feminine movement. Her unique research on Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary provides deeper insights on goddesses, miraculous conception, and divine feminine lineages… and how we can draw upon the mysteries of Magdalene to co-create miracles & healing in our lives. Marguerite Rigoglioso, Ph.D. philosophy, religion & humanities @margueriterigoglioso is a leading spokesperson and researcher for the Goddess and Sacred Feminine Spirituality. She is the foremost authority on the history of virgin birth, and the author of 3 books on the topic, including the bold new award-winning book The Mystery Tradition of Miraculous Conception: Mary and the Lineage of Virgin Births. Marguerite taught many graduate and undergraduate cou

The “womb path” is one of deep transformation. The “womb mysteries” anchor in growth through embracing what is called “womb wisdom” - or inner knowing. In this embodied state, we access self-trust, discernment and personal power. Here, in essence, we mother ourselves and co-create with The Great Mother.   My guest Lauren Megan @iamlaurenmegan is a body-based trauma specialist, womb alchemist, embodiment mentor, priestess, healer, conscious mother, and teacher. She guides & mentors women on the path of womb-led business, energetics, and pleasure. Her mission is to help women heal, unravel and decondition from the beliefs and generational traumas that keep them from speaking their truth, owning their purpose and receiving the endless amounts of bliss they deserve.   In this episode I also share my sacred womb healing experience at Chalice Well in Glastonbury in 2021 after experiencing multiple traumas to my second chakra throughout my lifetime.   Birth as initiation into the path of the womb & The Gre

What does it really mean to be heart-led and how do you live from that place?   I’m joined in this episode by my soul sister from India, Jonita D’souza. Together, we delve deep into the transformative power of self-devotion and the journey towards becoming a heart-led leader in this new era of rising feminine leadership. Jonita shares her experiences of embracing fear, exploring duality, and finding inner light through -paradoxically- the “Dark Mother” (another name for the Goddess/Mother who guides, supports and sustains us during our shadow work and Dark Night of the Soul seasons). Jonita D’souza @empressjonita is a Self-Leadership Mentor for women, a Feminine Lifestylist and Creatress of Feminine Empress Codes. She’s a certified Life Coach, NLP Practitioner, Master Hypnotherapist and combines the teachings of Indian feminine mysticism and shamanism in her work, Dark Night of the Ego: exploring the CAVE of self-discovery to unlock the treasures within (entering and sitting in the “cave” is the only way to

We hear the word mindfulness a lot, but what is it, exactly, and what does it accomplish? Mindfulness is essential to tap into your soul energy and live in higher vibratory states. Regular mindfulness practices allow us to feel more grounded and centered…and alive.   Many of us know we have gifts, messages, innovations, ideas, and all kinds of goodness buried inside of us… but we don’t completely “dive in” because of other demands on our time, energy and resources. What can we realistically explore, for just a few minutes a day or a few hours a week that brings us closer to our soul purpose?    On this episode of Stand Speak Shine, we hear from JJ DiGeronimo, two-time award-winning author and former leading woman in the tech industry. She passionately strives to help women gain “more seats at more tables” by sharing the key findings that have helped her and countless others illuminate a path forward. Featured in publications such as Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and Thrive Global, JJ is a regularly-invited

There’s no denying that the Feminine is rising. Her voice is finally coming out of exile after thousands of years, anchoring in a new reality. The vibration of words and sound literally heals & creates.  Despite an implicit message of shame and danger surrounding feminine spirituality from her conservative fundamentalist upbringing, my soul sister in the Middle East, Lisa Moriah Chenthitta @templeofdivineradiance found herself called to study texts and traditions outside her faith of origin that embraced the language of the goddess. Lisa is a writer, artist, drummer, Aramaic mystic, qadosha (Israelite priestess), creative catalyst, soul sounds coach and communication consultant based in Dubai, UAE. Her guiding truth is to live a life of service completely called forth by the power of her own voice, in partnership with divine truth. She is co-founder of The Story Alchemists, a boutique personal brand and communication agency for maverick souls, and founder of Temple of Divine Radiance, an online sacred spa

Sacred Feminine spirituality is about liberation and individuation -alongside mature collaboration. Many of us are seeking to find our authentic voices after disassociating from belief structures that have disassociated us from our bodies.    In my case, there were times I felt pressured to ignore my intuition and comply with religious leaders for fear of divine retribution. My soul sister from Scotland, Dr. Morgana McCabe Allan, was given an ultimatum by her religious leaders to either walk away from her church or go into a room of men for an exorcism (she chose to walk away).  This never was The Way; imposing fear-based ultimatums in the name of God.    Feminist philosopher & author, Dr. Morgana McCabe Allan, specializes in the interaction between identity and perceived reality. She primarily works with frustrated service-centered female entrepreneurs, guiding them through becoming fully available to experience the success that matters to them and designing a new reality using manifesting, mindset and h

What do our souls deem true “success?” And how do we handle the fears, limiting beliefs, and self-doubts that will inevitably come up when we commit to creating a “next level” soul-based life?

We are living in a time when ancient plant medicines are making a strong comeback. The conversation around psychedelic medicine has shifted significantly in the past 10-15 years and has been covered by popular media outlets. This shift is attributed to the mental health crisis, with approximately 50 million Americans diagnosed with mental health conditions and the pandemic exacerbating the issue.    People are desperate to heal and are seeking out unconventional methods.   In this episode, we explore psychedelics’ (particularly psilocybin/mushrooms’) potential for healing and discuss the societal stigma surrounding them, as well as the need for open conversations around their safe use. Join us as we reflect on the potential of psychedelics to support healing in individuals - as well as their positive effects on families and communities.   My guest Cori Sue Morris @corisue spent 15+ years building and scaling brands and has a master’s degree from the George Washington University Elliott School of International
