Vagina Talks

This special episode was originally recorded live on YouTube in April of 2020, just a few weeks into the global quarantine. The kindness and wisdom shared in it only grow in relevance as we continue on this journey into a new paradigm. There is a reason this week's guest is known as the Intuition Queen as her gems of insight only ring more true 6 months after she shared them. This soft, comforting episode has a few really actionable pieces of insight to help prepare for a quarantine winter and holiday season: Sophia reminds us that personal growth is much like a sine wave on an overall upward trend and our current worst is still better than our old worst. They also remind us that when faced with unprecedented fear and anxiety coming in from the outside like many of us are encountering, going back to your oldest and simplest tools can really help. What was the first thing that ever helped pull you out of darkness? Mara reminds us that giving your hands a task- gardening, baking, learning a new instrument, pra

Hello darlings, it's so good to be with you again! This week on Vagina Talks, Sophia is joined by the brilliant soul alchemist, kundalini practitioner and all-around sweetheart, Ali Fitzpatrick. This warm conversation has so many nuggets of wisdom, you might want to take notes. Some major topics in this episode were: The practice of kundalini yoga, or "energy" yoga, is a powerful tool of alchemy. It can help us process the explosion of energy many of us are experiencing as we awaken in this major time. When we look for rigid separation in the gender binary, even in the divine gender archetypes, we can't find it. The harder we push on those ideas, the more they just collapse, and we find a fluid spectrum of sameness. As we each navigate our mother wounds, it can be a huge comfort to separate our idea of mother from the person who birthed us. Each of us can pray for and receive a divine, perfect mother when we look to the Great Mother, and into ourselves. You can follow Ali on Instagram @ali.j.fitzpatrick (ht

We're diving right in this week with some of the pre-interview conversation. These dear friends have such a sweet and clear connection, it was impossible not to share. Our guest this week is Kandis Golden who is a filmmaker, animator, and tarot reader amongst many other things. Kandis and Sophia talk about many things in this episode, but it all seems to center around making art despite the global pandemic and political unrest that are defining our lives right now. In this episode, they talk about: The ways they have been preparing for these times and cultivating practices that support them inside of crisis Kandis talks about how you can't unbreak hearts, but you can mend and cleanse them until they are immaculate. Sophia talks about how fear is an incredibly important informant. It's not the boss of your life or decision maker, but it's a very helpful tool. You can find Kandis on instagram kandiswithak.com (http://kandiswithak.com/) you can also send her an email at kandis@kandiswithak.com If you'd like to

Join Sophia this week as she talks with Dr. Heather Clark about the many layers of chronic stress and burnout. This lively conversation has so much rich information in it, you’ll walk away feeling so much more informed and enriched. These brilliant people aren’t afraid to change their minds when presented with new information and show what learning and growing can look like in real time. They have unshakeable centers and share from those centers in truly generous ways. Enjoy! Some of the points of this fantastic discussion are these: Stress and burnout can come from being something you aren’t or putting your center outside of yourself. This can happen easily when your soul evolves and you keep living life in your old pathways instead of forging the new ones this new version of you requires. “Sipping beauty like a hot tea.” Sophia put into words a feeling you may recognize or at least empathize with. It’s when there is so much beauty and goodness in this world and when confronted by it, you shut down ins

Darlings! It feels so good to be back in the realm of Vagina Talks! Join Sophia this week as she talks all things Mother Wound with the divine and brilliant Sage Taylor Kingsley. This conversation got going so quickly, there was no time for a formal introduction so we'll put it here. Rev. Sage Taylor Kingsley-Goddard, a.k.a. THE PROSPEROUS GODDESS (TM), is a highly gifted intuitive Archangel Michael , Yeshua & Divine Mother channel, Abundance & Soulwork Acceleration Coach, energy and soul healer and catalyst for personal and planetary transformation. Able to read auras since her Third Eye was blasted open in 3 Near-Death Experiences in the Mexican desert in 1994, Sage uniquely integrates 100% accurate intuitive aura & chakra readings with Intuitive Angelic Miracle (I AM) shamanic healing & Spirit-guided life and business coaching to manifest more Love, more Joy & more Abundance. Sage is also a Reiki Master and Teacher, angelic Money Reiki Grand Master, Ordained Interfaith Minister, c

I know that this time feels brain breaking, not new. For some people now, the clanging news feels and is new. New information, new astonishing heartbreaking information. Can it be true? Can it be so so so unjustly rigged? For others, the heartache and break are rooted in how old it is. How redundant and shapeshifting obvious continuous. The most heartbreaking part about it all, all of it, is how not new it is. And yet, I am an optimist in my fervor and commitment to continue until it is different. And I also believe it is different, in some ways the systemic white supremacy is different in it's shifting costumes of delivery method. In other ways, the difference is the actual response and true solidarity I am witnessing and the true listening to black leadership and direction by real allyship. Funds being shifted by mayors, charges being made, meetings with citizens where silence and being ignored was the standard. Change, because of the movement. Thank you #BlackLivesMatter.

Sophia is joined this week by Fia! As in, Fia the enchanting, singing, songwriting Swedish goddess who blessed us with her presence and beautiful songs. If she isn’t in your music rotation yet, wow are you in for a treat! She and Sophia have a great conversation about many of the aspects that surround a life devoted to channeling true, and beautiful things. There is a tenderness and sensitivity to these two human beings that makes a bountiful episode ripe for repeat listens.  Here are some highlights from their deep-dive conversation: Fia talks about feeling “extra layers of life” that she can access. Of course, all people can access these layers, but for whatever reason, many don’t. Feeling just so, so sensitive and having a difficult time relating to peers while growing up, but finding solace and power in the arts. “I stopped waiting for someone to give me permission to do my soul’s work and for it to look a certain way as society presented it to me.” -Fia They both talk about the deep desir

Sophia is joined this week by the epic Alexandra Jamieson who you may recognize from her prominent role in the Oscar™-nominated documentary Super Size Me, her bestselling books Women, Food, and Desire and Getting to Hell Yes, her podcast Her Rules Radio, or any of her many other incredible offerings to this world. It’s a real honor and pleasure to listen in on this conversation that is both intimate and inviting. These two are fearless as they navigate some deeply painful experiences together with grace and gentleness. This episode covers a lot of ground, including: Inner-child-healing with a physical doll to represent the kind of tenderness that kind of self-care requires. Growing up with mentally ill, addict parents, other suicidal relatives and the path to healing from that and the ways that can affect you as an adult.  Sleep, dreaming, insomnia, herbal sleep aids, and the different kinds of dreams they can induce. They talk about how artists are the shepherds that guide us through difficult

Amy Jo is back! If you’ve been with us for a while, you’ll know that she’s a bit of a celebrity here at Medicine Caller, and if you’re new, get ready because you’re about to find out what all the fuss is about. Amy Jo is a brilliant sex educator and author and creator and healer and facilitator and so much more. She is a wealth of wisdom and calm in the storm and she is one of the teachers Sophia turns to for help in their personal life. These dear friends drop some real truths in this episode that’s ripe for a repeat listen. There is so much in this episode, some of the main points were these: Amy Jo talks about creating a sense of home inside yourself. Not just a physical structure to live in, but a sense of security and wellness wherever you go even when things get out of control like they are now.  Amy Jo talks about the interplay and dichotomy of creativity and destruction “Stop talking smack to your teacher!” -Sophia Wise One. They both talk about how the body is the greatest teacher we hav

Sophia is joined this week by Mercia Cummings, a masterful therapist, meditator, and healer. She brings a lot to this episode that moves quickly but doesn’t overwhelm. The rapport between these two is calming and kind. They are here to validate you all day every day. This is one of the many Facebook Live episodes Sophia has been doing from quarantine. And bonus! There are dogs! They’re very quiet and this isn’t a video anymore, but just know—there are dogs in the room.  They cover a lot of ground in this episode, but here are some of the major takeaways: They talk about mental health self care as a way of showing up for other people “giving of people, but no longer giving to my own detriment.” -Mercia Cummings They discuss mother wounding and the feelings a lot of people have around feeling like a motherless child, even if there was a mother physically present in their lives. Thankfully they have a lot of good news to share around this healing. They get real about how messy healing can be and rem

Darlings. Let's be real here. Are you hearing people anxiously trying to go back to the world we left behind? Are you seeing this mad scramble to get things back to normal and pretend this massive shift isn't happening? As this week's brilliant guest, Emerald Peaceful GreenForest, puts it, we are a bird hatching out of a thousand year old shell not yet knowing we can fly. We are the seeds that could only be germinated by a wildfire. The world that was–the corrupt money systems, the depleting health systems, the food that can't nourish, the jobs that bring no income–are done with. And unless we can all admit that the world ended and is being reborn, this next chapter is going to be a really serious struggle. Sophia got a message in the very beginning of this global shift that while it may seem like this time is all about death, it's about life. Death is all about life. The problems we are collectively facing may seem insurmountable, but each one of us is getting a different call to take care of just one small

As always, we pray that you and your loved ones are safe as you navigate your role in slowing this pandemic, be that staying home or going out into the front lines to feed and care for people. The winds are ever-changing which reminds us that while we may not know what the future holds, tomorrow will always be different from today. And as Grace Louise Perkins always says, “change is correct and desirable.” In this episode: Chel breaks down some misconceptions about archetypal masculine and feminine energy. She leads us away from comparing things by assigning them hierarchical value and instead towards understanding the nuanced similarities and differences in a neutral and balanced way.  They discuss the need for sustainability in ourselves, in our businesses, and in our society on a level we’ve never seen before. “If we want to

Darling listeners, we hope that you and your families are safe and able to stay in one place to ride out this global storm. Sophia was out on a road trip visiting dear loved ones all over the country in short spurts when the doors closed all at once at David Wilcox's house.
