In this episode, we sit a the feet of a true Black Empress and bask in the glow of her enchanting soul song.

  • We get some Grandma Enola wisdom "Be Yourself, you can't be anybody else."
  • We hear what it sounds like when you write a Love Song... to yourself
  • We color outside the lines and refuse to be put in a box
  • We try on different styles of expression and flex our creative muscles
  • We feel Sunrise with Aretha and Sunset with Luther
  • We are inspired to make Art that matters, have the tough conversations on racism, and refuse to check out.
  • We follow our own inner compass on the journey to ourselves and then beyond borders as an American Voice Abroad
  • We find Freedom when we are "Proud to Be Me"

Teneia is an internationally touring musician and songwriter and has seven albums to her credit.

Teneia has won multiple awards, she has had her work featured in television and film, AND has shared the stage with various critically acclaimed artists.

Her work has been featured on HBO, Netflix as well as in several independent films. One of Teneia's most prominent pieces, "Stand," earned a placement in the HBO documentary Prom Night in Mississippi featuring Morgan Freeman. "Stand" embodies Teneia's ability as an artist to address deeply rooted social issues fearlessly and confidently.

With a career spanning over a decade, Teneia has toured relentlessly throughout the years. Her most recent side project, Heart Society, gained recognition through the Sixthman Cayamo music cruise alongside John Prine, Buddy Miller, Patty Griffin, Lee Ann Womack, and many more.

Teneia is a visionary with the heart to match. No matter what project she is a part of she always delivers a stellar performance. With folk-soul roots and infectious hooks, she teeters on the edge of defining a new sound and genre.

It was proclaimed in the Phoenix New Times that her voice can “charm you into a hypnotic trance, make your heart beat faster, or motivate you to get out of your chair and dance." We are so ready to be put in a trance and dance with her today!

In this episode, we renew faith and belief in the human spirit with the radically honest voice for those who are forced to be silent because of abuse and violence, Angela Shelton.
Angela makes movies and music and teaches adults and children escape routes out of pain and suffering. She says, "Every single thing I do has the underlying mission of inspiring survivors to heal and live happily ever after no matter what happened to them."
Content/Trigger Warning: In this episode, as we talk with Angela about her empowering and healing work she does for and with survivors, we are discussing sensitive topics. Please be aware that the topics of child sexual abuse, sex trafficking, incest, and suicide are discussed. Please be in touch with your feelings and take care of your heart while listening. Know who you can reach out to if you become upset.
Here is some of what unfolds in this revealing and healing conversation...
She says her sense of humor has literally saved her life as a survivor and you will hear evidence of that in this empowering and exhilarating conversation.

  • We are empowered to know that our pain is not as important as our purpose.
  • We go behind the veil and reveal harsh truths about the original pandemic of sexual & physical abuse.
  • We find gems in the darkness and realize that forgiveness is really for you.
  • We learn when it's time to channel your inner Annie Oakley
  • We don't line dance- we outside the line dance
  • and dance the shadows into dawn
  • We carry the torch of revival for the spiritual war going on.
  • We mince garlic and we don't mince words while stirring up trouble.
  • We laugh a lot. Our hearts break open.
  • We become our own Hero and find that Life does come with a survivor manual!
  • We learn how to become Rockstar Reformers and ask always to be a vessel for God to pour through!

Angela has spoken all over the world from Congress to colleges. She helps raise money and awareness for Child Advocacy Centers, Rape Crisis Centers, and Domestic Violence Shelters.

We discover that when you want to fly, first you must jump into the unknown.

We find out what you should do if Don Henley's pilot wants to fly you to a ranch.

We learn how Flagstaff, Arizona. is a boomerang.

We see if someone can move to a major city and in just two years be voted Best Local Promoter while building an empire of artists.

Caravan of the Heart - Susan Cottrell, Christian Mama Bear of the LGBTQ+ community
play

12/12/21 • 69 min

In this episode, we commune with Susan Cottrell.

She is considered the Mama Bear of the LGBTQ+ community.
She is a powerful and profound voice reminding us to always choose love and inclusion.
She shared with us that the height of spiritual abuse is to take God away.
She taught us how to decolonize God!
Susan explains how we are called to be radically included and- yep- that means radically inclusive of others. We discover that Jesus does NOT want to you throw out your child because of who they love!
Find out if your convicted or conditioned. If you are confused, ask God to show you how you are loved.
A freed heart won't take it if it feels like fear but, most of all...if it feels like love it's God!

In this episode, we invite into our hearts, ecstatic poet, Chelan Harkin.

This is our very first encounter with Chelan but it feels like a reunion. We fall in awe, sweet kinship, and radical tenderness. We find out how heartbreak lets the Light pour in and poetry pour through.

We laugh a lot. We do! We summon the Muse. We talk about everything from Hypnotherapy to how being left in a prison cell set her free.
Get a taste of what all of the beautiful buzz is about and why this poem went wildly viral..."The worst thing we ever did is pretend God isn't the easiest thing in the Universe, available to every soul, in every breath."

Caravan of the Heart - Mary Reed, Mystic Wisdom Guide/Teacher
play

12/12/21 • 93 min

In this episode, we are fed by the Love wisdom channeled through an unwitting mystic, Mary Reed.

We find out what happens when someone answers the call coming from inside the house, "You are supposed to do something very important."

We learn that resurrection is real and that unity is a verb.. We are reminded that love gonna Love....every time!

We are invited to Open and Anchor in order to build a foundation for the new to emerge. You've heard of the "Field of Dreams"? Well, this is the Field of Love!

We remember that if you build it, they will come.

Mary explains how to enter into the understanding, that we can hold fear/pain/anger in an embrace of love without judgment, rejection, or separation.

Y'all, today, you are invited to the Celebration of the End of Hell!

In this episode, we are enchanted to engage with Maia Toll, a seeker of magic and award-winning author of the bestselling Wild Wisdom Series which has inspired readers worldwide to explore their human nature through the magical lens of the natural world.

  • We discover a bookshelf in a willow tree
  • We enter a world where land is sentient, and the stones have stories
  • We learn that you can set magic in motion and magic... is everywhere
  • Through the Lookingglass, we see that we are in control of how we perceive our surroundings
  • Once we recognize that everything is alive, we start moving through the world differently
  • We realize...why not choose to believe in magic? It is so much more fun & interesting
  • We begin to believe that we are a thread in a much larger tapestry and ask ourselves,” what is the purpose of my thread in this weaving?”
  • We surrender into Connection and find a doorway into Communion
  • We shift the focus of knowing from our head to our heart
  • In the natural realm, we realize there's something beyond our interpretation of all these things
  • We learn that crafting a life takes a lifetime

Maia has created and conjured an award-winning collection which includes The Illustrated Herbiary, The Illustrated Bestiary, The Illustrated Crystallary, The Wild Wisdom Companion, oracle decks, puzzles and her latest endeavor, and The Night School, which explores the edges of the universe and the depths of the self, all through the lens of philosophy, divination, and astrology.

Maia is a 3-time Nautilus Award Winner. She also owns an herb shop called Herbiary, with locations in Asheville, Philadelphia, and online. She lives in Asheville, NC with her partner and two ridiculously spoiled dogs.

Maia's mantra is:
"Magic is everywhere.

To see it and the effects it has on your life, change the way you perceive the world.

To harness it, change the way you interact with the energies around you.

To know it, change the way you think.

To live it, remember the lessons of the Night as you go about your day."
