Ep. 14 Fear and Shame--Gatekeepers of the Soul (Song: How We Grow)
02/06/21 • 22 min
There’s no level of self-actualization that can exempt us from having blind spots. The willingness to be softened and see in ourselves what we have not yet been able to see is how we grow. Again and again.
In this episode, I explore:
- The role of fear and shame in keeping us locked into the Codependent Drama Triangle
- The necessity to face fear and shame to transmute out of the Drama Triangle and get to your own soul source
- Signs that fear and shame are pulling you into the Drama Triangle
- Tools for addressing them
- Grace we can give ourselves as we reconnect with our true nature as Ongoing Process
- Reclaiming our true worth--worth inherent in and dependent on nothing but our very existence
I share my original song "How We Grow" at 17:17

Ep. 13 More Than Love (Song: Somewhere in Between)
Maybe what the world needs isn't more love, but better love. Love that doesn't feel good and light all the time. Love that doesn't brush hard truths under the rug, but helps us face them, knowing that moving through the valley of the shadow gifts us with an inner richness beyond words.
Join me in this episode as I explore moving from the Codependent Love paradigm to what I call the More Than Love paradigm.
Topics:
- Codependent Love paradigm vs the More Than Love paradigm
- Transmuting my "Self Righteous Bitch" energy
- Learning to hold conflict and opposition in ourselves and with others
- Discovering The Third Way--the possibility of new life when opposites are joined
- Working with and healing ongoing divisions in ourselves, our relationships, and our communities
Live Performance of my original song "Somewhere in Between" at 15:30
With More Than Love,
McCall

Ep. 15 Why You Can't Heal, Create, Manifest Everything You Want To
You can follow the protocol and do all the right steps, and it can still not work for you. Because you can’t predetermine or outline the wild, unpredictable factor of the soul. You feel, discover, and live the truth of it every step you go.
In this episode I share about my lifelong obsession with the unpredictable , the mysterious, wild factor of life and the soul.
Burning questions of my life that set me out on the path of alchemy:
- Why do certain healing modalities, steps to success, etc work for some people but not others?
- Why is it that you can be so clear about your intention and set goals to make that happen but then lack the drive to carry it out?
- Why is manifesting things into form easy sometimes and then other times it doesn't work at all?
Deeper into the alchemy
- Willpower vs. will of the soul
- The inspiration of spirit vs the will of the soul
- How to get spirit and soul to align and work together to bring magic into form
- The ego's role in this way of magical manifestation and creating
- The role of surrender in manifesting with soul
