  • She Is Building Temples For Women: Sarah Jenks EP 56
    Oct 22 2025

    For centuries, women were taught that the sacred lived outside of us - in churches, in scriptures, in the hands of men who told us how to pray.

    But there was a time before that. A time when women gathered in circles, when our emotions were seen as holy, our bodies as sacred, and our desires as divine.

    In this conversation, I sit down with Sarah Jenks, ordained priestess and co-founder of The Living Temple, a woman who has remembered what was once ours and is bringing it back to life.

    Sarah once had everything she was told she should want: marriage, success, motherhood - and yet felt empty inside. The moment she stepped into her first women’s ceremony, her body remembered something ancient. And from that remembering, her true life began.

    Inside this episode, we explore:

    • The moment Sarah stopped living by the patriarchy’s checklist and began living from her soul.

    • How ceremony and sisterhood are not “woo” - they’re ancient medicine.

    • The deep conditioning that keeps women small, silent, and disconnected from themselves.

    • That equality inside the home is the next frontier of women’s liberation.

    • Why reclaiming the sacred feminine is not rebellion - it’s remembrance.

    This conversation is an invitation to bring the holy back into your daily life.
    To find the divine in the chaos, the beauty in the ordinary, and the power that’s always been yours.

    If this episode stirs something in you, share it with another woman ready to come home to herself.

    And if you’re ready to experience this work in person - to gather, release, and rise - join me at MAGNETIC in Phoenix, December 5–6.

    Your remembrance begins now.

  • The Princess To The Queen EP 55
    Oct 8 2025

    For so many women, the story begins the same way: waiting to be chosen, waiting to be loved, waiting for someone to see our worth. We were raised on fairy tales written by men - tales where our value was confirmed only through someone else’s gaze.

    In this episode, I explore one of the most profound energetic shifts a woman can make: the evolution from princess energy to queen energy.

    The princess is well-intentioned, but she is always seeking - approval, validation, belonging. She is waiting for the world to tell her she’s enough. The queen, on the other hand, no longer waits. She has learned to source everything she once sought - love, worth, safety - from within.

    This transformation is not about hierarchy; it’s about maturity of energy. It’s about remembering that everything you’ve ever longed for is already yours.

    Inside this episode, I share:

    • How the media and culture conditioned us to crave approval instead of cultivating self-trust.

    • The emotional difference between seeking and being.

    • How to recognize when you’re reacting from princess energy in love, work, or friendship.

    • What it looks like to self-source validation, pleasure, and intimacy.
      Why grounding in your queen energy changes the way you walk into any room, relationship, or decision.

    The moment you stop waiting to be chosen, and choose yourself, you reclaim your throne.

    I hope this conversation inspires you to notice where the princess still runs the show, and to lovingly call your queen forward.

    She’s not above anyone. She’s simply at home within herself.

    If this episode resonated, share it with another woman ready to rise into her own sovereignty.

    And if you’re ready to fully embody this work—to step into your power, presence, and self-sourced magnetism—come join me at MAGNETIC in Phoenix, December 5–6.

    Your throne is waiting.

  • Beauty Absurd EP 54
    Sep 24 2025

    The beauty industry is out of control.

    Women are being sold an endless stream of shame disguised as “solutions.” When did being a woman become something to fix? When did our natural bodies become the enemy?

    In this candid and fiery conversation, my COO Diana joins me as we unpack some of the most absurd, dangerous, and heartbreaking trends being marketed to women today. Together, we laugh, rage, and call bullshit on the cult of beauty that profits from our self-doubt.

    Inside this episode, we also discuss:

    • Why the chase for “eternal youth” has become both grotesque and dangerous.

    • The porn culture fueling procedures that rob women of their humanity.

    • The double standard: endless products telling women they’re broken, while men remain untouched.

    • Why complying with beauty absurdities keeps us complicit in our own objectification.

    • The radical truth that your body - every wrinkle, every line, every curve - is already worthy.

    Behind the absurdity is a sobering reality: beauty culture was never created to honor women, but to profit from our insecurities.

    I hope this episode inspires you to see the absurdity for what it is - and to choose reverence for your own body instead. No more fixing. No more apologizing. Just you. Whole. Sacred. Enough.

    If this conversation stirred something inside you, share it.
    And if you’re ready to lay down the impossible standards once and for all, come join me at MAGNETIC.

    Your freedom is waiting.
