"...you have to actually ask yourself, is this truly authentic to me in my highest light, or am I undercutting myself here and choosing a lower path claiming that's authentic based on my previous experiences?"
Hey, gorgeous souls! Monica here, wrapping up another deep dive into the mysteries of life, soul contracts, and the pursuit of holistic wellness. 
We traversed the realms of medicine, spirituality, and the power of our choices, laughing and pondering the beauty of our complex journeys. Imagine considering the idea that every challenge, every pill-not-taken, is a step closer to our true selves, our highest calling. 
We spoke of children, not just as beings of our creation but as souls with their own contracts and paths. It's a wild ride, realizing that sometimes, not fulfilling a role we desire, like being a mother in the conventional sense, opens the door to fulfilling our soul's true mission. 
We also ventured into the topic of authentic living - peeling back the layers of societal expectations and personal wounding to find the gold of our genuine essence. It's like being Indiana Jones, but the treasure is the true self.
And let's not forget the chat about the next generations. Picture this: kids today coming into the world like tiny Buddhas, all-knowing and spiritually tuned in from the get-go. It's our job to foster that, to be the guardians of their light in a world that often prefers the dark. 
It's been real, it's been deep, and it's been incredibly uplifting. Remember, the path to our highest selves isn't paved with easy answers but with the courage to ask the hard questions and the strength to live the truths we find. 
"It's because I'm sitting here doing stuff that other people aren't doing. And I know that. I know that if I was just doing what everybody else was doing, I would be in the exact same place. I just refuse to do that."

"If we're being like incredibly honest, this is who we all want in our world."
Hey, beautiful souls! Monica here, bringing you the juiciest bits from our latest chat. This time, we dove deep into the mystical realms of soul contracts, spirituality, and the big, bad world of choices.
We laughed, we pondered, and yes, we even faced a few "what the heck" moments together. Imagine finding out you signed a cosmic agreement five generations back that's been guiding your life like an invisible GPS. Wild, right?
But it's not all about predestined paths; we also chatted about the power of free will. Yes, darling, you're the captain of your ship, navigating through the stormy seas of life with your own compass.
And spirit babies? Oh, we went there! Whether you're opening your arms to them or kindly saying, "Not now, darling," it's all about connecting with your higher self and the universe's grand plan.
Through laughter and serious reflection, we explored how facing life's challenges head-on can actually propel us towards greater self-awareness, unity, and, ultimately, back to the source of all that is divine.
So, whether you're renegotiating your soul contract or simply trying to make sense of this wild ride called life, remember, you're not alone. Together, we're on this journey, discovering our true selves, one choice at a time. Catch you in the cosmic café, where the conversation never ends!

"IVF is my only choice is the general common acknowledgement of what happens if you have any fertility challenges."
We're bringing you another dose of our spirited conversation that spans the realms of health, politics, and the art of living mindfully. We've tackled some hefty topics, from the gritty details of IVF to the vast landscapes of political activism. Imagine us, sitting cozy with a cup of tea (or maybe something a tad stronger), chatting away about everything from the nitty-gritty of fertility challenges to the high stakes of political engagement.
We're peeling back the layers, questioning the status quo, and, dare I say, having a blast while at it! It's all about making those conscious choices, whether it's in the foods we eat, the media we consume, or the votes we cast.
Together, we're journeying through the ups and downs, the confusions and clarities, and coming out the other side enlightened, entertained, and maybe even a bit emboldened. So, keep tuning in, keep questioning, and let's keep making those choices that light up our lives and the world around us!

We're diving deep into the sea of choices we navigate daily, from the personal to the political, and everywhere in between. We laughed, we pondered, and we might have even stirred the pot a bit – all in the name of growth, of course!
Our journey took us from the sunny shores of Hawaii to the heart of heated debates, touching on everything from health activism to the ever-polarizing world of politics. But hey, why choose between talking vaccines or vibing to the tune of environmental conservation?
We're all about embracing the full spectrum of conversation – the raw, the real, and the really complicated. Join us as we unpack the baggage of societal expectations, dance through the minefield of social media censorship, and maybe, just maybe, find that elusive common ground. Remember, it's not about picking sides; it's about opening minds and hearts. So, here's to becoming better versions of ourselves, one open-hearted chat at a time. Catch you on the flip side!
"And he was open-minded enough to listen to other sides and take in that information and be open-minded enough to explore it."

Discernment in Action: Making Empowered Decisions with Kim Arneson & Abigail White Part 2

"Discernment is a very big word that gets thrown around a lot, but isn't actually practiced a lot."
Topics Discussed
The concept of duality in life
The balance between being human and spiritual
Historical figures and their spiritual journeys
The importance of discernment in decision-making
The influence of emotions and advice on choices
Gender and racial dynamics in societal contexts
The necessity of diverse perspectives in
"If you make yourself available to it, then it's going to happen."
Hey there, lovely Choice Markers! It's Monica here, bringing you another heart-to-heart chat from our recent podcast. We dove deep into the nitty-gritty of life's dualities and how they shape us. It's all about the choices we make, both consciously and subconsciously, to become our best selves.
We talked about balancing our human and spiritual sides, which, let's be honest, can be a bit of a rollercoaster. Remember, even spiritual teachers can lose their way – it's all part of the journey. We reflected on history's great figures and how they faced similar challenges, and yes, even sounded crazy at times.
But here's the kicker – it's all about discernment. It's that inner voice telling you, "Hey, that doesn't feel right." It's about trusting yourself and not just going along with the crowd. We all have been there, right?
And let me tell you, the choices we make? They come from either inside us or outside influences. It's crucial to recognize this and choose what truly resonates with us. We all have different paths, and that's perfectly okay.
I also shared some personal insights and stories, emphasizing the importance of looking at different perspectives and not just sticking to one viewpoint. Remember, it's your journey, and you have the power to create your reality.
In essence, it's all about being in tune with yourself, understanding your emotions, and not just reacting. It's about creating a reality that uplifts and supports you, even when the world seems topsy-turvy.
So, embrace your journey, lovely souls. Keep making those choices that lead you to your truth and happiness. Until next time, keep shining your light!

The role of discernment in evaluating online information and narratives.
The interplay between quantum theories, spirituality, and personal beliefs.
The dynamics of public accusations and perceptions in the digital age.

Hey there, lovely listeners! It's your girl Monica here, and oh boy, do we have a juicy episode for you today! We dove headfirst into the whirlpool of online drama and the impact it has on us. I shared how I tried to stay neutral, observing without getting sucked in – easier said than done, right? We chatted about how things escalate on social media, with videos being deleted and reaction videos popping up left and right. It's like a digital soap opera!
We also pondered over the fine line between spiritual experiences and what some might call 'spiritual psychosis.' It's a tricky one, isn't it? We're all about being open-minded and exploring different realities, but hey, we've got to stay grounded too. We even touched on quantum theories and how they intertwine with spirituality. It's a mind-bending mix of science and the supernatural!
As usual, we didn't shy away from the tough topics. We delved into the complexities of accusations and perceptions in the digital age. It's like navigating a minefield with every post and comment! And let's not forget about the power of choice and discernment in our online interactions. It's all about striking that delicate balance between being open to new ideas and protecting our energy.
So, grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and join us on this rollercoaster of a conversation. We're unpacking it all – the good, the bad, and the utterly baffling! Let's grow, learn, and maybe have a few laughs along the way. Remember, we're in this together, exploring and evolving one episode at a time!

Beyond Cancer: Overcoming Adversity with Grace and Grit with Jaclyn Downs and Joy Lechner Part 2

"Everything just goes away. Anything that's non-important, like politics, color, whatever, disagreements, or the way that we view things all go completely away. All that matters is the love and connection between two human beings. That's why we're on this planet, is to love each other and be connected."
Topics Discussed:
The Role of Genetics and Environment in Cancer
The Impact of Stress and Environmental Factors on Health
The Power of Perspective and Positive Thinking in Facing Cancer
The Significance of Emotional and Mental Health in Recovery
The Importance of Community and Connection During Illness
The Intersection of Western and Eastern Medicine in Treating Cancer
The Role of Diet, Lifestyle, and Mindset in Healing
Navigating Relationships and Personal Growth Through Illness
The Journey of Acceptance, Forgiveness, and Rebirth Post-Cancer
"I think moving forward, now that my heart space is clear and the tumors are literally removed, I see it as a clear, the light and love of God is able to more clearly enter my heart space because the tumors are cleared out and it's open and free."
Hey, beautiful souls! It's Monica here with some profound insights and heartwarming stories to share with you from the second half of my chat with Joy and Jaclyn. We went deep with the intricate dance between genetics, environment, and the choices we make every day that shape our journey towards healing and growth.
One thing that stood out to me, and I hope it resonates with you too, is how every challenge, every tough moment, is an opportunity for growth, connection, and rediscovering the joy in the little things. It's about flipping the script on cancer, seeing it not just as a battle but as a chance to deeply connect with ourselves and others, to live more fully and love more openly.
And let's not forget the laughter and tears shared along the way, the raw honesty that comes from facing our mortality, and the incredible strength we find in the most unexpected places. Whether it's finding beauty in a scar or discovering a newfound intimacy with loved ones, it's these moments that truly define us.
"I think you can see cancer as an opportunity for a rebirth. You can really let go old ways of being and doing... exploring different parts of my personality that I'd like to show up, really allowing myself to experience joy and happiness."

Summarizing the Talk:
Monica and Brad got real about their journey through the muck and mire of life's challenges. They didn't sugarcoat it; they laid bare the gritty truth of clawing their way back up after being knocked down.

Discovering Meaning in Loss: Navigating Grief and Finding Hope with Brad McNeil Part 1

Topics Discussed:
Coping with loss and trauma
The journey of healing and self-discovery
Overcoming fear and embracing vulnerability
Recognizing the need for change and growth
Finding meaning and resilience in difficult experiences
 "I have everything that I've ever tried to work super hard for, and I feel like shit inside. So when you get to that stage and you're willing to move, the only way ... the only way to go is inward."
Monica and Brad delve into the profound journey of healing and self-discovery after experiencing loss and trauma. We're navigating through the complexities of grief, the struggle with control, and the transformative power of vulnerability.
We talk about the importance of recognizing one's own BS (belief systems) and the pivotal role of introspection in fostering growth and resilience. Through personal anecdotes and insightful reflections, we highlight the significance of facing fear, embracing change, and finding meaning in life's most challenging moments.
"The overwhelming thing that I think I just felt in some of those moments was just that... I don't have the answers. Like I can't solve this by myself."
