The Femme Cast
Welcome to The Femme Cast—the podcast for women who are truly ready to break free from toxic relationship cycles, choose themselves, and become a magnet for the love they deserve.
I’m Maria — Master Energy Healer, Radical Self-Love Leader, and Relationship Mentor.
I work with the women who are cycle breakers, grid shakers, and truth layers — the brave souls who came here to dismantle the inherited beliefs that told them they had to chase love, prove their worth, and beg to be chosen.
I help them break free from the karmic cycles and generational patterns that keep them stuck in toxic relationships and self-abandonment — so they can unapologetically choose themselves, reclaim their inherent worth, and become magnetic to soul-aligned love, expansive opportunities, and the liberated life they were born to lead.
Without ever shrinking, settling, or self-abandoning again.
I’ve been where you are, stuck in cycles of chasing love, begging to be chosen, and abandoning myself again and again in the name of love. But I turned my pain into purpose, and now I’m here to help you do the same.
Each week, I share personal stories, actionable insights, and a blend of spiritual and practical tools to help you heal from past wounds, reclaim your self-worth, and rewrite your love story. You’ll hear everything from vulnerable truths about my own journey to breaking toxic patterns to empowering lessons that will guide you toward creating the healthy, loving relationships you crave.
Join me as we say goodbye to self-abandonment, people-pleasing, and unhealthy dynamics, and hello to radical self-love, emotional freedom, and true empowerment.
It’s time to reclaim the version of you who never had to beg to be chosen.
You ready?
Let’s do this.

The Lie of Positivity + The Feminine Superpower That Was Kept From Us
We’ve been told to just think positive.
To manifest through our mindset.
To smile through the ache.
But what if the very emotions you've been taught to suppress... are actually your greatest source of power?
In this raw and revolutionary episode of The Femme Cast, I’m finally sharing the story I promised I would—the one about the silent meditation retreat in Thailand that turned out to be anything but healing.
What looked like a spiritual sanctuary quickly revealed itself as a hotbed of emotional repression, toxic control, and disturbing coping mechanisms disguised as “enlightenment.” It was the moment I realized that so much of the spiritual and self-help world doesn’t heal you—it gaslights you.
You’ll hear:
- Why “just be positive” is spiritual bypassing in disguise
- The disturbing truth about what some spiritual leaders teach
- How unprocessed emotions mutate into passive-aggression, rage, and energetic blocks
- The moment I looked around and realized I wasn’t crazy—this was
- And the power of reclaiming your emotional truth as your most sacred feminine superpower
Here's what I want you to know:
You are not broken for feeling deeply.
You are not weak for crying, raging, grieving, or cracking open.
You are a f*cking force.
Your emotions are energy in motion—and when consciously felt and transmuted, they become creative fuel for love, healing, purpose, and manifestation.
We don’t manifest from vision boards.
We manifest from frequency.
And frequency comes from feeling, fully.
This is the episode that will finally help you understand why affirmations fail, why mindset work can’t touch your deeper wounds—and why reclaiming your emotional self is the most revolutionary act of your spiritual evolution.
PS: Stop begging to be chosen. Choose yourself instead.
You’re not here to beg, chase, or perform for the bare minimum.
You’re here to reclaim your power and become magnetic to real, soul-aligned love, success, and abundance.
Reclaim the version of you that never had to beg to be chosen.
Book your 90-minute Sacred Reclamation Intensive.
But fair warning—authentic connections, aligned opportunities, and breakthroughs in love, money, and purpose are inevitable.
Hey you guys, what is up and welcome back to the show. Thank you so much for being here. I'm going off the cuff today because something there was. I have a plan, there's some episodes I'm recording, but I happened to see something a few moments ago and I was like fuck, no, I've had enough. I need to talk about this because it's just getting to the point where it's become so blatantly obvious how we're actually and we don't mean to do this. I want to be clear. Nobody means to do this, but we're actually hindering our own healing and evolution in this life.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:When I think back and I'll tell you what set it off, you know me, I'm a firm believer in using our emotional experience to create the life that we want to create, to use it for a powerful mechanism for healing. And time and time again, I get pushback on this. I get so much fucking pushback, especially in the spiritual community. It's probably why I kind of went MIA for a little bit and I apologize for that Like I wasn't sure in myself at the time enough to be able to kind of hold my own and say no, no, this is the work, I believe in this work and I will continue to believe in this work. And now I'm going to fucking fight for this work because I see this too much. I see this time and time again where you know we, you know somebody says something and they're going through a difficult time and even I'm guilty of this. I am guilty of this. I apologize to anybody that I've ever done this to right.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:When you're going through a difficult time and you know you just share that you're going through a hard time, you're going through a difficult experience or you're moving through some difficult emotions, and the first thing people come out and say is oh well, you know, it's all about how you think about it. You just kind of switch your mind. You know don't give your power away like that. You know you stop like that. You know you stop Like can we just stop the injustice that we've like? And again, we didn't do this intentionally. I just believe we were very misguided.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Okay, and it's so funny because I didn't clue into it at the time. But my first clue was and I mentioned this in one of like the last couple of episodes when I was talking about the meditation retreat that I did in Thailand and I said that was a story for another day. Okay, today's the day, the reason why we ran away from that meditation retreat. It wasn't a very traditional meditation retreat and there wasn't a traditional monk there. It was actually somebody who had come from the UK and became a monk after living a very, very colorful life of sex, drugs and rock and roll for the first 50 years of his life, right?
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And so you know what I learned being in that retreat and I didn't see it then, but I can see it so clearly now, right, what I was seeing on that retreat is, you know, there were so many of us there that were there for healing and to find connection with something greater than anything that we could experience in real life. We were looking for something more, something bigger, something. We were looking for answers. And I think we were all looking for ourselves, right? Because I think when we look for answers, that's really what we're looking for, because nobody has the answers, we have the answers, and I think that that whole experience, kind of you know, really highlighted that for me, right? And so here we all are, we're all kind of looking for answers, we're all looking for ourselves and what is truth, and how do we move through life, and what the fuck are we supposed to do with all this stuff that we've got going on? And half of us were only there for, I think, like the nine days or the 10 days or whatever it was.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:But then there was a whole bunch of people that were there, that lived there, that actually made a life out of being there, right? So typical to like saying at an ashram, everybody has a seva right, like a chore that they have to do in order to be there. So some people were like you know, they're doing their chores, doing their meditation, and it just became one. I think one girl had been there for three or four years, literally, and at first it was just this. You know, you walked in and it was peaceful and delightful and you know, you, immediately, you know there was. It was like in the middle of the jungle, on top of a mountain, and you know, all you could hear was the birds singing and this beautiful view of the landscape, and you know you could see the water and the horizon. And I'm just like you know, wow, like what a paradise, like how grateful I am to be here. Right, it wore off pretty quick.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:What we started to realize was, you know, the people who were in charge of the retreat were actually, like I said, it wasn't a traditional um Thai meditation retreat not far from it actually Um, which was very, very, very disappointing. Um. So the people who are running the retreat, um, were very, very, very, very controlling and and and really you could tell we're on a power trip, because a lot of us are really struggling being there. You have to remember it's a silent retreat. We've lost all our communication. We're in the middle of the jungle. Many of us are feeling very isolated, very disconnected. You know there's a lot of stuff coming up for us right and immediately. You know we're made to feel like we're bad for having a hard time with being in this experience, right.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And then the one, the monk or the teacher who was on site for that week, like I said, wasn't a traditional time monk. You know we had monk chats every day at four o'clock in the afternoon. You know our routine was was pretty much set for the entire week Get up at four in the morning, you meditate until 5 am or 6 am, then you have your breakfast and you meditate again until 11. 11 in the morning, you have dinner and then that is your last meal of the day and then you meditate until four o'clock in the afternoon and then you have monk chat, then you have evening meditation and then at 6 pm the day is done and you kind of have free time. Most people ended up going to sleep because we've been up since four o'clock in the morning. But you know, when it came to monk chat, you know we were so silent and couldn't actually speak.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:So what we did was, um, there was like a bowl and they would pass around pieces of paper and people would ask questions. Um, so you know, like I mean, people asked, you know, meaningful questions like how do you find your purpose in life, how do you heal from, you know, whatever your relationships, or I have a lot of anger, I don't know what to do with it. You know people would ask things like that. But then you know, there's always the class clown, right, there's always the class clown. And so, um, there was a group of like young guys there, and so their question was how do you stay celibate? For, because you know you have to take a vow of celibacy.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And what the monk proceeded to say was just like the most disturbing thing I had ever heard. He basically said he would you know, one of the ways in which he's managed to say celibate is to Google really graphic and I'm not even going to say, I don't even want to say what he was Googling, but he was Googling really graphic and horrific images, sort of fetishes, to turn off his desire for sex, right? So talk about an extremely unhealthy number one, an extremely unhealthy way of dealing with what's coming up for you and then teaching it. Like it was just so bizarre to me and, and you know the, the people who are at this retreat are, you know, kind of calmly listening to this and not reacting to it. And I'm looking around me, going, am I the only one who's finding this to be extremely fucked up? Like, did this guy actually just encourage us to like Google, like necrophilia, like, oh my God, like it was crazy?
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Um, and so I looked around and this is when I looked at my friends and I was like yep, like we're out of here, but even like in, like the moment to moment, right, like I remember there was this one girl there who was, you know, always so quiet and so peaceful, and I can remember there was a moment when we were cleaning up after breakfast and you know we were picking up the dishes and I don't know what had happened. You know, me and my friend were, we were cleaning up after breakfast together and I think we dropped something or we bumped into, anyway we did something and we both started giggling like a couple of school girls. Anyway, this girl was like kind of like off to the side and she was just kind of you know, sweeping the side and she was just kind of you know sweeping and the minute she heard us like giggling, the glare that she gave us, and she got so frustrated she started banging the broom everywhere. She banged the dustpan, she threw it and she left.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And I'm like which brings me to my point when we don't acknowledge what's coming up for us, when we don't acknowledge our feelings, when we don't acknowledge our frustration, our pain point, our struggle, when we're not willing to sit with these feelings, what will happen is, you know, we continue this cycle of thinking positive, just got to think positive, just got to think positive, until somebody like, literally like, taps us in, like, like, not even like, not even like, not even a stab in our wound, but just like a little tickle in our wound or in our trigger, and then suddenly we explode with anger and rage, and that is literally what happens, and I've seen this happen time and time again. And I'm going to be honest, you guys, like the people that I know, like I'm thinking of past relationships right now. I'm thinking of past friendships, like the ones that always preach, and you know, I had this friend of mine who would always preach, thinking positive. You know, and I can remember, you know, her being the kind of person who could never have an honest conversation, who could never express how she was really feeling, who, if something was bothering her, she would let you know in the most passive, aggressive ways, trying to get you to figure out that something was wrong with her, rather than just saying, hey, can we talk Because I'm really upset about something. You become this ball of anger and resentment and rage that you actually don't know how to move through and process, and so it stays stuck. It just stays stuck in your energy field, it's stuck in your auric field and it mocks with your emote, like your energetic signature and the signals that you're putting out into the world. And the problem is and this is where I think you know the spiritual community and the personal development community has hindered our spiritual evolution. There is something so important about moving through our emotional experience in such a way that we can use it to elevate our experience, to elevate our being, to elevate our energetic signature and our spiritual evolution in this lifetime and we're totally almost being gaslit to avoid it. And it's funny like this is a superpower that we didn't know we had and I want to bring this back. This is a superpower that we didn't know we had and I want to bring this back Like, if you think about it, it is a feminine superpower because for centuries, women have been told we are too emotional to be leaders.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:We can't be leaders because we're too emotional, carry too much emotion. We've been shaded for our emotion. We've been put down for our emotion. They've even made stories about how our emotions were like the destruction of mankind. You know Eve took a bite out of the apple because she desired the apple and then Adam went down with her. You know Pandora opened the box and suddenly all these negative emotions came out, even after her husband told her don't open the box right.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:For centuries we've been getting shamed for our emotional experience when, truly, truly, truly, when we see the impacts of not feeling our emotions and how unhealthy it becomes. And how unhealthy it becomes and how we resort to these unhealthy coping mechanisms for dealing with our emotions, and how it gets stuck in our energy body and then comes out in the most like mis, like inappropriate, misaligned ways, when you're projecting it on somebody who didn't even cause it, like you start bleeding and projecting your pain on people who didn't even cause whatever feeling or wound that you're experiencing to begin with. It is no wonder as a society, we're such a fucking hot mess. Like if 2020 taught us anything you know, being in isolation for all those months, sometimes in many places, years, being in isolation and quarantine for all that time. If that didn't teach us anything other than if, like I mean if we didn't learn anything at that in that period. Like, what are we even doing?
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Like, I think what became blatantly obvious to me and to many of the people around me is how much obvious to me and to many of the people around me is how much emotional baggage and crap we're all carrying that we don't know how to deal with, and we keep trying to find outlets in order to deal with it, outlets that are unhealthy. We either, like you know, resort to unhealthy addictions, and those addictions could be anything from drugs to alcohol, to sex, to shopping. Resort to unhealthy addictions, and those addictions could be anything from drugs to alcohol, to sex, to shopping, to doom scrolling, to binge watching, netflix, to over exercising. There's so many ways we create addiction constantly entertaining ourselves, constantly being in company, constantly partying, constantly never being able to be alone or to sit, still always having to do something. These are all actually unhealthy, toxic patterns or patterns of addiction, because we're using something to distract us from our internal experience. And then, when we are feeling all that stuff internally, we have no idea what to do with it. We end up projecting it on everybody else around us and bleeding all over the people that we love and care about the most and taking our shit out on other people.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:The key is to feel your emotions, to move through them and to alchemize them. They are a superpower that we didn't know we had. It is a superpower that has been kept from us for centuries, and it's seriously about time that we start to learn how to use it. For me, it was all the stored rage, emotion, resentment, guilt, shame that was literally making me a magnet for toxic relationships, for emotionally unavailable relationships, for relationships that would lie, cheat and breadcrumb and gaslight me again and again and again. Okay, and the reason is because you know the soul is hardwired for healing, the ego is hardwired for safety.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Okay, when your soul is hardwired for healing and there's something that you haven't healed, you know, every time we experience traumatic experience, we create what's called a soul fragment, right, and this is a piece of our soul, a piece of our energy that is stuck in that experience, holding on to it until it's healed and addressed, and it's, you know, makes up beliefs about that experience and what it means, about you know, your worth and your story and what's available to you, and it just kind of stays stuck in that energetic time capsule of when that emotional pain took place. And if you've ever worked for me, these are the fragments that we kind of go back to, like one by one, you know, clearing all the energy, going back, feeling the emotions that weren't felt, reframing the beliefs that were felt, that were, that were created at the time, and then, you know, reintegrating that part of your soul back into the whole, right, and if you've ever worked with me, you know we do this really well and you know it's very intricate, it takes time, but you can do this. Um, and one thing I always pride myself on is my clients never work with me forever. They work with me for a period of time until they learn how to do this for themselves, and and then you know, they don't have to stay attached to me for the rest of their fucking life. You know they actually learn how to process their own emotions in a healthy way and they're able to take that skill and that superpower and apply it to their everyday life. And occasionally, yeah, they may need to come back every now and then, because you know they're moving through something challenging. But you know, c'est la vie, like even I get support sometimes. You know, have trapped emotion.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:When we learn to fully feel those feelings without needing to numb or escape or distract, without needing to project it onto somebody else, to take it out on somebody else or to make somebody else feel somehow energetically responsible for how we feel and dumping all our shit on somebody else's lap you know that doesn't feel good either we learn to move through our emotional experience and allow it to be there. Let it be difficult, have a good cry, feel all the feelings, listen to you, know all the beliefs and everything that's coming to the surface as you move through it and then able being able to transmute it and create with it. You hear this said 1000 times. You know it's, it's. You know emotions are energy in motion.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Well, if that is true, if emotions are energy in motion, true, if emotions are energy in motion and energy can't be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed, then where in the world did we get this idea that when we have emotions, ie energy, we're just supposed to ignore it and leave it and just keep thinking positive, rather than actually taking the time to sit with it for a minute? Allow it to be there, allow it to show us what lesson it has for us, what it's trying to teach us, what it would like us to do differently, and then using that energy and transmuting it and using it and turning it into something that we can help us to create what it is that we want. This is a superpower that has been kept from us for centuries and I really believe that in this time, in this age that we're in right now you know, coming out of 20, you know, I mean coming out of 2020, it's 2025. But, honestly, I still feel like the world is not back to what it was before the pandemic. And here's the thing never will be, but I still feel like there's an evolution happening that began then. Like I don't think the evolution is done. Is, I think, what I'm trying to say here Right? So we've been in deep evolution spiritual evolution since 2020.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And what that literally showed us was how much damage we have done to ourselves by not learning to move through our emotions in a healthy way, and all we've been getting bombarded with ever since is all this messaging about not feeling our emotions and just thinking positive. And don't be sad, you should be grateful. Don't don't you dare be depressed. You should be grateful. And it's like no stop. We need to start sitting with our feelings. We need to start having, we need to make peace with our emotional body.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:The world for too long has kept us focused on our mental body and our physical body as keys to success. Right? Who are we as humans if we're not like constantly trying to be smarter, be more successful, have a hotter body, like be how like we're? We're always like. We're always preaching the importance of keeping these two parts of ourselves in keen condition and yet somehow, when it comes to the emotional body, yes, we're supposed to be um, we're supposed to just be even keeled and just naturally kind of maintain that homeostasis without ever having to deal with the shit that's going on beneath the surface. That doesn't happen. It's not natural. It's not normal. So much of our power rests in our emotional body.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:When we manifest, it is our emotions that's doing the manifestation. It's not the mindset work and it's not the mantras and it's not the affirmations and it's not the vision boards. Yes, oftentimes it's the emotions it evokes in you. But if you're somebody who is holding on to a lot of hurt or fear or resentment or shame when it comes like like, let's say, let's take um relationships, for example right, if you're saying and for affirmations that you know I'm worthy of love and you don't really believe it, what do you think you're manifesting if you put a picture up of a beautiful couple and you put it up on your vision board, of a beautiful, beautiful couple getting married and holding hands on the beach at a destination wedding, and you're looking at the photo and you've put that on your vision board or something you'd like to have? If there's a belief in you, you know. If there's a wound in you that made you feel like you weren't worthy of love. Every time you look at that picture, there's a part of you that's thinking that's not for me, guess what you manifest. You don't manifest what you see on the vision. You manifest the feeling that it evokes within you. And if that feeling is anything other than yes, I get to have that. Yes, that is safe for me. Yes, I am worthy of that kind of love. That's what you're going to be manifesting. So you have to look at the emotions that these visuals, these cues, these verbal cues, visual cues evoke in you. That's the important thing. That is what's doing. The manifesting Emotions are energy in motion.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Yes, thoughts can manifest as well. Yes, words, you say, can manifest as well, of course, but emotions are so much more charged and so much more powerful. Don't get me wrong. I still do mindset work, I still do affirmations, I still do all those things. I still think they add a great deal of value. Right, but it can't be. It's not the be all end. All the reality is is when you really do the work, when you really do the work on your inner, on your emotional body, and you move through and clear all those sorry, I just hit my mic and you again, you move through and you clear all those stuck energies. You move through all those soul fragments and you interpret what it is that they were there for and what they were trying to teach you, and then you reintegrate those back into your energy and use them to transmute your experience into what you really want. That is a power Like. When you do that, you have no idea. Number one, how powerful you are to create, um. And number two, to create. And number two, you don't need the mindset work, because the mindset work is only needed because these fragments of ourselves are still out there floating around, holding these negative ideas about ourselves and about what we're worth and about how worthy of love we are, how worthy of money we are. So when you start to heal and move through these things, what you start to notice is you don't need to constantly say affirmations, you don't need to constantly watch what you say or only listen to high vibe music, because you've healed the shit that it was triggering when you didn't.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:The key has the everything that we do the affirmations, the mindset work, the visuals, the. It's all like painting a house on a rotting foundation. You have to fix the foundation first before you paint the house. You have to fix the foundation, patch the walls, fix the electrical, do the plumbing. The painting is the last thing you do Because ultimately you know you decorate a house that's on a sloppy foundation. It's not going to last One little windstorm, whole thing's going to topple over.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Our emotional experience is the exact same thing. We can do all and say all the affirmations we want, we can create all the vision boards, we can write all the notes on our fridge or lipstick on the mirror telling us that we're beautiful and worthy of love, but if we don't actually do the work to believe it, if we don't actually look at all the parts of ourselves that are stuck in our energy field telling us that we are unworthy of love, that we have to beg to be chosen, that's what we're going to be continuing manifesting. And the reason why we continuously manifest isn't because the universe sucks and because it knows what we want. Of course it knows what we want. I don't believe that the universe doesn't. And because you know it doesn't. It knows what we want. Of course it knows what we want. I don't believe that the universe doesn't know what we want. I believe the universe knows what we want.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:I don't believe that you know when you say, when there's a party that says, oh, I deserve love, okay, no problem, that's what you're going to get. I don't believe that I know a lot of people do. I don't believe that I actually believe, like I said in the beginning and this is I'm bringing that point home Finally, like I don't know how many 25 minutes later, the soul is hardwired to heal. And so when you have this belief that you're not worthy of love, the soul will almost say no, no, I'm not going to, I'm not going to let you go there. I'm going to keep attracting the people, situations, places and things that are going to trigger all these wounds, all these soul fragments in you, to activate so you can actually see them and move through them, because I don't want this for you. But then the ego's like but no, but that's not safe. But we're safe in this belief that we're not worthy of love. We're safe not opening our heart and putting ourselves out there.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And this is where the battle between good and evil kind of comes in. Literally, it's within. The battle of good and evil is within. And it's not to say that the ego is evil? It's not. It's just that it keeps us from evolving as spiritual beings. It keeps us from doing the work and it keeps us from healing um, because oftentimes it really is super afraid of what's on the other side of that um.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:So do I believe that when we say an affirmation, I am worthy of love, and I know that my divine counterpart is, um, you know what I is seeking me to. But whatever, whatever the affirmations are, I am worthy of love. Love and abundance are my birthright. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. If there's a part of you that is saying, no, but I don't deserve that, or no, I'm not safe, I don't know that.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:I believe that the universe is just like okay, well, if that's what you believe, that's what you're going to get, I believe that the universe is saying, okay, well, if that's. Or your soul is saying if that's what you believe, I'm going to, I'm going to attract the worst, not the worst, but I'm going to keep attracting the more difficult and more difficult lessons to trigger. So trigger that part of you that created that belief, so you can shift it. That's how I choose to look at that. I don't choose to look at the universe punishing me.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:For you know, whatever my limiting beliefs were or even still are, there's still stuff that I'm I work through day in and day out. There's still times that I have to check myself. And I don't believe that when I have a moment of self-doubt and self-doubt in my worth or what it is that I think I deserve or incapable of creating in this life, I don't think that the universe is out there going, okay, well, if that's what you believe, that's what you're going to get. I think the universe and my soul are out there saying, okay, well, if that's what you believe, we're going to fix that. And you know, I think ultimately the lessons come. You know they don't start very difficult often in the beginning, but the more you don't do the work, the more difficult the lessons get. So, yeah, it does get hard sometimes if you don't, if you don't do the work, it can get pretty fucking uncomfortable, you know.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:But it's all, it's all to get you to that point where you have you're too tired to do anything else but move through the emotional experience. And I think the difference between you know. I always say you know, we feel your feelings. Have a good cry, let it out, scream in the pillow. If you have to rage it out on a page, do what you need to do to get those emotions out. I think what I really love about you know the work that I do and you know that whole process of you know, the sacred reclamation of all these parts of yourself is that you know, yes, we can purge, yes, we can cry, yes, we can let it out.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:But it's also important to remember that these soul fragments that you're tapping into, these parts of yourself that have been stuck in this emotional experience for you know, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, sometimes lifetimes Sometimes it's not even yours, you know, sometimes it's been handed down from past lives or from generations. If you don't believe that, you'll have to just take my word for it. Take what resonates, leave the rest. But when we actually take the time to acknowledge each one of these pieces that are showing up for us, and not only acknowledging and moving through the emotional experience that's been stuck for so long, but really asking it okay, well, why are you here? Why? What are you here to teach me? What is it that you're trying to show me that you want me to apply to? Like, how can I apply this to my life today, this wisdom to my life today, so I can create change and transformation and evolution, going forward.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And then we start to reintegrate what those, the purpose of those fragments were, because I do believe all these fragments have a purpose. I believe they're the recipe for who we're here to become in this life and we start to reintegrate all of that. That's the difference between just having a cry or a rage session or screaming in the pillow and then waking up the next day and just feeling exhausted and just like this massive energetic emotional hangover, to actually waking up the next day and feeling elevated and excited and lit the fuck up. It's because we've reintegrated that part and it's almost like you've taken a huge chunk of your energy back that was kind of disconnected from you for the longest time. So recognize this as the most powerful, sacred feminine superpower that has been kept from us for centuries and that is the power to move through our emotional experience and to use it as a source of creative energy.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:That is, I think, the invitation that is being presented to us in this period, in this time, and that is something I think that I am ready to fight for, no matter who in the spiritual community wants to come up and get me against me and say otherwise, because I can tell you right now, I know people who have just tried to keep a positive mindset their entire lives and the only thing that they've managed to accumulate is rage and resentment that comes out in passive, aggressive ways, because they can't actually articulate it, because they don't know how to sit with their emotional experience.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:So I don't want to choose that for me, I don't want that for you guys. So please, please, please, please, please, take time to feel what's coming up for you and recognize that, even as uncomfortable as it might be, it is serving you in the most powerful way and it is a superpower that is inviting you, begging you to start to tap into it, because I'm telling you, when you do, it is absolutely delicious.
