About this listen

The Sovereign Shift™ is a movement disguised as a podcast...a living archive of the human journey from captivity to sovereignty... via the nervous system.

Hosted by Chelsea Eden Dubeau, certified breathwork guide and spiritual coach, and creator of WOO Breathwork™, each episode explores what it really means to find freedom, awaken, and remember your power.

You’ll hear from coaches, healers, artists, teachers, and thought-leaders - humans walking each other home - who are transforming systems from the inside out. Together, we unpack the real mechanics of liberation: nervous-system regulation, breathwork, plant medicine, visibility healing, money alchemy, and sustainable systems for sovereign living. Oh and we've got plenty of woo, too ;)

    [Ep24] The Wealth Revolution No One Told Women About (Until Now) | Mel Dorman
    Dec 10 2025
    If you’ve ever believed that wealth was “not for someone like you,” this episode will change everything. This week on The Sovereign Shift, Chelsea sits down with real estate revolutionary, TEDx speaker, and former social worker Mel Dorman, whose life's work dismantles the biggest lie women have been sold: 👉 that financial freedom is reserved for the wealthy, privileged, perfectly-credentialed few. Mel’s story is unbelievable—except it’s real. From teaching orphans in Uganda, to working in psych wards and jails, to supporting women escaping sex trafficking in India… Mel spent her early life serving the margins. But everything changed when her father developed Alzheimer’s and her family suddenly needed $7,000/month for his care—with no plan, no safety net, and no financial literacy to lean on. What Mel did next became a blueprint for financial sovereignty: She quit her job, studied real estate between inmate intakes, bought her first property for $500 out of pocket, and went on to build 34 rental units in five years—all using the method she now teaches: ✨ Seller Financing — a community-driven wealth transfer model that bypasses the banks, returns power to everyday people, and keeps money where it belongs: in communities, not corporations. In this conversation we go deep into: 🔥 The Sovereignty Themes Why traditional “love and light” spiritual bypassing keeps women brokeHow financial instability creates nervous system dysregulationWhy seller financing is the most ethical, community-centered wealth model you’ve never heard ofHow patriarchal conditioning shows up as money blocks, perfectionism, and fear of visibilityWhy wealth-building isn’t capitalist—it’s self-care, self-respect, and self-sovereignty 🔥 The Wealth Disruption Pieces How seller financing works (and why the banks don’t want you to know about it)Why Boomers are the key to the next wave of ethical wealth transferHow to buy real estate with little or no money downThe truth about amortization and why your mortgage is designed to keep you paying foreverWhy the “American Dream” is dead—and what’s replacing it 🔥 The Personal Transformation Mel opens up about: Coming out after growing up in a conservative Christian environmentReleasing the fear of being seen—for who she is and for the wealth she now buildsHow queerness became the foundation of her financial sovereigntyHow choosing herself changed everything 🔥 If you’re someone who… grew up financially illiteratefeels behind, unprepared, or unworthy of wealthwants to build a business but feels trapped by money stresswants to participate in the economy without feeding billionairesfeels called to sovereignty but doesn’t know where to begin …then this episode is your turning point. 👑 Mel’s mission is simple: Transfer wealth out of the billionaire class and back into the hands of everyday people—especially women. And after this conversation, you’ll believe it’s possible too.

  • [Ep23] Raising Regulated Kids in a Dysregulated World through Technology & Storytelling | Jacintha Field

    [Ep23] Raising Regulated Kids in a Dysregulated World through Technology & Storytelling | Jacintha Field
    Dec 7 2025

    What if technology could actually help our children regulate, connect, and feel safe in their bodies?

    In this powerful and deeply human episode of The Sovereign Shift, Chelsea sits down with Jacintha Field—family and child counselor, art therapist, and founder of Happy Souls Kids, a global mental health platform on a mission to help children aged 5–12 navigate big emotions through storytelling, gamified tools, and the voices of real-life heroes.

    After walking through the fire of domestic violence, single motherhood, and burnout, Jacintha turned survival into service—retraining in counseling, play therapy, and somatic healing to support her son through anxiety and dysregulation. When traditional systems failed, she built something the world needed: a safe digital space for emotional education.

    Together, Chelsea and Jacintha explore: ✨ The intersection of motherhood, trauma, and tech ✨ What emotional regulation really looks like for kids (and their parents) ✨ Why tech isn’t the enemy—but unawareness is ✨ How children mirror our own unhealed patterns ✨ Building resilience, safety, and sovereignty in a fast-moving world ✨ The deeper purpose behind the Happy Souls Kids app—and how you can be part of it

    This conversation is equal parts honest and hopeful. Whether you’re a mom, teacher, or someone reparenting your own inner child, it will remind you that healing doesn’t mean perfection—it means presence.

  • [Ep22] Remembering What Matters Most: Radical Responsibility, Sovereignty, and the Healer Within | Susan McNamara

    [Ep22] Remembering What Matters Most: Radical Responsibility, Sovereignty, and the Healer Within | Susan McNamara
    Nov 30 2025

    What does it really mean to live in alignment with what matters most?

    In this deeply honest and wide-ranging conversation, Chelsea sits down with Susan McNamara—holistic health counselor, Kripalu yoga teacher, shamanic practitioner, and founder of Remembering What Matters Most—to explore what it truly takes to return home to ourselves in a world that’s forgotten how to feel.

    Together, they dive into:

    • Susan’s awakening journey from addiction and self-loathing to embodied sovereignty
    • The cultural sickness of disconnection, fear, and expert worship—and how to heal it
    • The difference between false calm and sovereign calm
    • How trauma, belonging, and the nervous system shape our search for safety
    • Why we’ve outsourced our inner authority—and how to reclaim it
    • The real cost of comfort and why radical responsibility is the medicine of our time
    • How to “remember what matters most” when technology, media, and modern life keep us numb
    • The power of direct experience—why lived wisdom matters more than borrowed knowledge
    • Her six-month immersion for women, The Healer Within, and how it helps participants return to the truth of who they are

    This episode is a masterclass in embodied sovereignty and a mirror for our collective healing. It’s an invitation to slow down, feel more deeply, and take ownership of your life as the sacred thing it truly is.

    If you’ve been feeling the tension between belonging and authenticity—or the pull to reclaim your health, your power, and your truth—this one’s for you.
