In this enlightening conversation with Dr. Mindy, I explore the multifaceted benefits of fasting and how it can contribute to spiritual, emotional, and physical healing. Dr. Mindy explains how fasting can deepen our self-awareness and help us connect more fully with our bodies, as well as honor the ancestral influences on our health. We also discuss the shift from patriarchal to matriarchal structures in society, the unique hormonal changes women experience, and the vital role nourishing food plays in maintaining health. Dr. Mindy offers practical advice for navigating menopause and underscores the importance of self-care and reconnecting with nature, especially for women.

This practice has deepened my relationships in ways I never imagined, bringing more compassion and understanding into my everyday interactions. I invite you to try it, to take a moment to really see the person in front of you—their light, their courage in being here—and to watch how it changes the way you connect, heart to heart.

In this episode, Dr. Deborah Egerton and I explore the transformative power of the Enneagram, a system of personality archetypes that beautifully blends ancient wisdom with modern psychology. We share how understanding our Enneagram types has led us to a deeper sense of self-awareness, improved relationships, and opened the door to greater compassion for ourselves and others. Together, we emphasize how essential community is in this journey of self-discovery and reflect on the importance of language when navigating our connections with others. We also touch on how we can transmute our pain into beauty and why it's crucial to foster genuine acceptance rather than settling for mere tolerance in our relationships.

Nancy and I dive into the depths of shadow work and its transformative power. As I reflect on my own journey with her book and meditations, I’m struck by how essential this work is for unlocking our gifts and reclaiming the parts of ourselves we’ve disowned. Nancy shares her own experience of how a personal crisis became the catalyst for embracing shadow work, revealing how our shadow can create chaos when left unattended. She emphasizes the importance of telling ourselves the truth and recognizing how our shadow shows up, often in unexpected ways.

Nancy’s insights into embracing both sides of ourselves—whether it’s being self-sufficient and needy, or a perfectionist and a mistake maker—highlight the importance of wholeness and integration. Her wisdom and personal experience shine through, making it clear that shadow work is not just about healing but also about reclaiming our full power and potential.
