Episode 18
As this week’s guest Monica Rodgers sees it, we are living through a “great apocalypse”, which is also a time of revelation that is helping humanity to excavate and reveal the illusions that are holding women back from expressing their divine nature. Listen in to a conversation between two psychedelic mothers and podcasters as they discuss the personal and cultural impacts of the wounding and the healing of the divine feminine.
Bringing an infectious warmth and playful levity wherever she goes, Monica Rodgers is a tireless advocate for the full actualization of women, inspiring women everywhere that saying “YES to the MESS” is the missing link to self-love and personal liberation and awakening. Through The Revelation Project Podcast and group coaching programs, Monica guides women through their inner (r)evolution, from trance to transcendence, revealing the toxic myths of social conditioning and self-doubt in order to illuminate the magic and magnificence of our imperfect selves.
She believes that women can take action towards realizing our true potential only when we stop proving and striving to be who everyone wants us to be. When we reveal the truth of who we are, we return to our “original design” and with the practice of self-love and compassion, we become aligned, opening the portal into our divine purpose where true prosperity dwells. There has never been a more important time for women to reveal the truth of who we are as a catalyst for positive change in the world as the Divine Feminine returns in the Sophia Century.
