The Soul Rose Show

I had such a rich conversation with the one and only Naked Pastor, David Hayward (@nakedpastor) about his incredible journey of deconstruction. David is a former Presbyterian minister and a brilliant cartoonist. He has a B.A. in Bible and Theology, a Masters in Theological Studies in New Testament, and a Diploma of Ministry. He was ordained to the ministry and served local churches… preaching and teaching and providing pastoral care for about 30 years. In 2009, David had a profound "mystical moment" where he saw the interconnectedness and oneness of all people. This clashed with the exclusivity and hierarchy baked into religious institutions, ultimately leading him to leave church leadership. His book is titled, “QUESTIONS ARE THE ANSWER.” David's provides a unique, valuable space for spiritual independence and deconstruction. I'm grateful our paths crossed!

Have you ever felt like you were born with an inner cosmic blueprint - a precise energetic imprint guiding you to your most authentic life? I got to sit down with the brilliant Tresa Rivera (@human_design_hypnotherapy), a certified Human Design analyst and hypnotherapist who has devoted her work to unlocking the ANCIENT WISDOM TRADITIONS woven into this fascinating multidimensional framework. She illuminated how Human Design DECODES the unique energetic imprints we each arrive with, breaking it down for us in an accessible way. We covered the basics like the different ENERGY TYPES (Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, Reflectors, Manifestors) and how getting your chart read by an expert can give you crazy insightful glimpses into your core energetic blueprint. Tresa shared mindblowing insights - like how my defined Root center means I need intense bursts of movement, (vs long cardio!). Her teachings provide an initiation into shedding societal conditioning to realign with the sacred forces that shaped our souls’ journeys.

This woman! She is NINETY TWO years old and as you will hear, as sharp as they come. Anne has been a mentor for me, guiding me through her research, unveiling suppressed histories and ancient texts restoring the feminine face of the Holy Spirit - like the mind-blowing “Gospel of the Beloved Companion” detailing Mary Magdalene's sacred bond with Jesus. I finally got to sit down with this mystic-scholar heroine of mine, Dr. Anne Baring (YT:@annebaring5850). She’s authored eight powerful books and has devoted her life to decoding the Myth of the Goddess and unveiling the FORGOTTEN WISDOM about our spiritual origins in Mother God. She has issued a RALLY CRY for modern women to embody our archetypal powers as wise crones and nurturers of humanity's higher destiny. Anne's work is a balm, resurrecting the sacred daughter within, restoring our cosmic wholeness.

The collective carries a “God wound” because of patriarchal dogma and the rejection of communion with nature as a way to connect to the Divine. After being disillusioned by dogmatic religious teachings, a profound experience with a Native American medicine man opened Mare Cromwell (@greatmotherloveway) to channel the messages of Mother Gaia. She shares her transformational journey of surrendering to the Earth Mother's guidance through the sacred act of writing...in her books "The Great Mother Bible" and "Messages from Mother Earth Mother." Through the process of opening to Gaia's loving presence, Mare learned to give voice to her long-suppressed earth-honoring spiritual nature and discovered that self-compassion and reverence for the natural world were the gateways to her healing.

I am ever fascinated with how various women are unlocking their womb's ancient feminine mysteries and activating their embodied sacred wisdom. THIS is the time we’re living in! AWARENESS ignites ACTIVATION. What wants to be noticed inside your sacral/sacred second chakra, your womb’s deep, mysterious cosmic portal? Nicole Frolick (@nicolefrolick) is a Practical Mystic, Intuitive Life Coach & Inner Child Healer. She shares how she reconnected with the divine feminine through PLANT MEDICINE journeys that unveiled the "GODDESS CODES" - ESOTERIC frequencies and light language SYMBOLS that allowed her to access her womb's creative powers. Her journey is HERS alone and may not resonate with your own, but I think you will find her “womb alchemy” experiences very intriguing: Consciously conceiving unborn souls through song, embodying the "huntress" archetype to magnetize desires, and more.

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.

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 physical vessels) Challenging the concept of SIN and recognizing it as wrong thinking and misdirected meaning assigned to ourselves How SPIRITUAL AWAKENING transforms the ways we view ourselves & others (leading to greater self-forgiveness, self-love, and self-acceptance, which naturally extends to others) WATCH this episode on Cherie’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SoulRoseShow ..

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."

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.

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'll share practical tips alongside esoteric wisdom to support you on your path to embodying your soul's purpose. Thank you for walking this path of soul expansion with me!

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 tradition. You hit a crashing point, or a crossroads, which can “force” you to question deeply held beliefs and reassess your relationship with your faith. My guest Celeste M. Davis @celestemdavis had a sacred feminist awakening journey that paralleled my own, in the same year and with the same religion of origin (Latter-day Saint) although we didn’t know each other at the time. Celeste is a mother of 4 and a spiritual director specializing in LDS faith crises and faith transitions. She writes a weekly Substack on how to scratch that existential itch when the existential tools of our past no longer satisfy. Together in this episode, we discuss the sensitive, courageous and vulnerable process of deconstructing, reevaluating, and reconstructing one's spiritual framework…which for many, may ultimately lead to a more liberated, sacred, inclusive, and authentic expression of their spirituality. The co opting of Jesus’ teachings by institutional administration Struggles with embracing the divine feminine within the church How can we make churches emotionally safe sanctuaries? (voicing doubts, encouraging questions about existing doctrines/beliefs, encouraging people to trust their intuition) Lifting the veil of unworthiness by breaking the cycle of trying to prove yourself What is liberation theology? ..

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 succumbing to a victim mentality?

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 courses in the US and UK, and in 2012 founded her own Seven Sisters Mystery School, through which she’s been teaching about the Sacred Feminine and mentoring clients on the evolutionary spiritual path.

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 Great Mother Embracing womb wisdom & power for biz growth, personal development, and healing relationships What are “womb codes” and how do they impact creation?

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.
