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.

Reclaiming Lilith: Crystal Dawn on Patriarchy, Mary Magdalene, Kundalini & the Snakes That Awakened Her Power
What happens when everything you thought you knew about God, faith, and womanhood begins to crack open?
In this powerful episode of The Femme Cast, healer and priestess Crystal Dawn of Crystal Dawn Alchemy shares her extraordinary journey from growing up as a pastor’s daughter in evangelical Christianity to experiencing a radical spiritual awakening that changed everything.
For years, Crystal lived inside the box of religious conditioning—absorbing the belief that to be “good” meant to obey, submit, and stay small. Her first taste of freedom came in her teens when she began questioning the church’s teachings, but nothing could have prepared her for what came next: eight snakes appearing in her basement over six weeks, igniting an initiation that reconnected her to the suppressed energy of Lilith and unleashed a primordial rage buried in the collective feminine.
Crystal vulnerably reveals what it felt like to hold the shame of breaking her church’s rules, how she discovered that the stories of women in the Bible had been intentionally rewritten, and the moment she realized that Mary Magdalene was not a fallen woman, but a priestess and Yeshua’s equal partner. These revelations shook her foundation and led her to reclaim her body, her voice, and her spiritual sovereignty.
Her story is raw, embodied, and deeply human. From the fear of losing her safe space to the courage of facing spiritual initiations head-on, Crystal shows us that everything we’ve been taught to silence—our intuition, emotions, sexuality, even our rage—may actually be the key to our power.
This episode is not just about breaking free from patriarchy; it’s about remembering who you truly are. If you’ve ever felt silenced, unworthy, or disconnected from your voice, Crystal’s journey will awaken something inside you that has been waiting to rise.

Hey guys, what is up and welcome back to the show. I am so excited and grateful to have you guys here. Welcome if you're new. I am very excited today because, you'll know, I haven't had a guest on the show in quite some time and that was actually very intentional because I really just want to focus. I just I really just wanted to focus for a long time on my story and my experiences that I wanted to share with you guys. But this guest that I have with me today actually, like it really required me to break the bubble that I've been in for quite some time and just have her on the show.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:She is absolutely amazing. Her name is Crystal Dawn of this Crystal Dawn Alchemy and she is just this spiritual, wild woman, badass who's on her sacred reclamation journey, just like the rest of us. I have had the pleasure of working with her. She's actually been my healer. I've had many sessions with her in the past, so you know she's powerful. If I go to her, I just don't willy-nilly go to anybody. So, crystal, thank you so much for being here. I am honored to have you on the show.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:Oh, thank you so much. I am truly honored to be here too. I'm truly honored. I appreciate everything that you just said too.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:It's true, it's honestly true and I followed you for a very long time and I've always been in your corner and you've been through a bit of a transformation, like I've been following you for a few years now and you know, there's crystal before 2025. And then there's crystal of 20. And the two are very different, very different.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:You have shared such powerful content in the last few months and I every time I swear we funny, funny anecdote. You guys, like before we like actually like hopped on and started recording, like we just kind of started going back and forth of things we wanted to talk about, and every time we start mentioning the topic of the day I start getting covered head to toe in goosebumps. I'm getting them right now. We haven't even mentioned it yet, just saying Same to you. You managed to, and this is part of I'm just going to set up the conversation for today.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:I grew up Greek Orthodox. For those of you who don't know, I grew up in the Greek Orthodox Church, and so my religious upbringing was very traditional, very patriarchal. I was very conditioned from a very young age, and I can remember going to church as a young child and feeling almost a sense of anger as to how the people in the Bible were being portrayed, especially the women, everybody in general, but especially the women. Something about it felt very dishonest to me, it felt untrue to me, and I always felt like, I questioned, like if God truly loved me, why do I have a smaller like? Why do I not have a seat at the table like the men do, like. Why are women treated differently?
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Right, and for the longest time I was coming into this realization that I was afraid to put out there, and you you, my friend, have been putting it out there so boldly and so powerfully, and it just put voice to this abstract feeling that I couldn't articulate, which is how horribly and wildly misrepresented women were in biblical times and since, and how many times it's been rewritten and, you know, retranslated to suit a patriarchal world, really. So get us started. What happened to you, what happened to shift all of this? I know, right, it literally happened overnight and your message is so powerful and I just want you to give us a minute to share that with us.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:Oh, my goodness, the way that you voiced that, that it just happened overnight. Oh, sister, I agree, it's powerful. I feel that energy almost surging through me just remembering the process of that happening. I was born into a very religious family. My dad was a pastor, so I went home with church, I lived in church, I went to school at the church, everything was the church, and for me that's what I grew up in, and so my parents, personally, so loving, always supported me. My dad always supported me having an open mind and thinking for myself.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:However, when you're still in those spaces, you absorb these things. You absorb who you are, you absorb who you're supposed to be. You absorb when you are shamed for stepping out of the box. You create your oh, this is who I'm supposed to be in order to be good. And if I step out of that, I'm a sinner, I'm going to burn for eternity. And so you stay in line.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:And for me, the way that I was raised, it was first it was evangelical and then it kind of switched and turned into non-denominational, which essentially was very evangelical in itself, but there was this whole left behind series that happened and I think I think in many of the denominations that are in the Christian culture, have this whole end times theme and they talk about you know when Jesus will return and essentially started going to public school.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:Finally, I was in sixth grade. I was like there's a whole world out here, even though I'm still in the Midwest. Everything is just so whitewashed and there's no culture, no culture. I still was just like, wow, this is such a big world out here because I hadn't been exposed to that yet. But that was my first taste of freedom was public school. Can you believe that? Can you imagine? But that is where I finally started to be like I want to dress like that, I want to do that, I want to rebel. Something inside of me started to wake up and even though it was called rebellion I guess in my eyes looking back, it was just me looking for myself, trying to find who I was.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:Yes, because up until that point, what I had been shown was what women do are they basically just are mothers, and that's what I saw from my own mom and that's what she wanted to do. But she I mean, she had me at 19. She was married at 18. It was I thought, that that's what you did in order to be good, and so that's what I thought.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:But then when you start to step out of that box and you start to see that other people are doing other things and wow, women have like dreams of going off and being in a career and my life started to take a different route and I started to get into trouble and do all these things that were like not exactly the way that I was taught. And essentially, one of the biggest things that happened for me was when I was 15 and I had my first boyfriend, my first serious relationship, and I ended up breaking that contract that I signed to God when I turned 13 and put on that promise ring. I was going to save myself for my husband right, and I broke that promise. And, man, the church had to know, because my parents needed prayers, my whole family had to know, because they needed to know how to parent me, and it was just this. That was that first cracking open where I saw the cracks in the system.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:I think where I saw and it actually started to turn my wheels because I was like this isn't right, this isn't right and because, even though I felt extreme shame, I had still been now around people that were totally normal and good, people who weren't Christian, and those were the people who I were told were going to hell. There was so many things that started to click in that time that I was like wait, there's something not right here. And I obviously had those feelings growing up, hearing all sorts of stories, but you don't tend to ruminate on them when you're a child. You tend to just say, oh, okay, alright, I get it. But when the when the cracks start showing, like it.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:then you start to go back and you start to think okay, wait, let's reorganize this, let's start asking more questions. And from there I even started to say I just don't feel like I'm a Christian anymore. And then cut to oh my goodness, so many years later, in 2019, something happened where I read a book.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:It was by Gabby Bernstein because I loved her and I read her book Super Attractor and she mentioned in there something about angels and spirit guides and something about talking about. That cracked me open because I had been told that you only talk to Jesus or God Do not talk. Even when my grandfather passed away, I remember asking my mom like can I talk to Papa? She's like no, you can talk to Jesus and Jesus will give Papa your message. And I remember. Now I'm looking back, I'm like man, I didn't even get to talk to my ancestors.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:There's so much power in that alone. No talk about gatekeeping, oh my God. And so this concept of speaking with your ancestors blew me wide open, and that, to me, was the permission slip I needed to really start to step out of the box, and that's how I ended up on the path that I have been on for many, many years of just like, wow. We have innate healing powers. We have ability to see beyond the 3D. We have ability to receive messages from our ancestors or spirit guides, from angels and other dimensions. This is amazing. We are multidimensional and the healing that comes from that. And then cut to the question that you had is what was this big glow up now in this 2025? And cut to the question that you had is what was this big glow up now in this 2025? Man, it felt like shit. Yeah, to be honest, because what it actually was was what happened. This is gonna be a long story Again. I feel like I'm just gonna be talking this whole time. So, go for it. Go for it.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:So this spring, this spring, I was sitting in the basement and I heard this sound in the wall and I was like what? And my eyes immediately went to where I heard the sound, of course, and I see two snakes looking at me and not in my mind's eye I'm talking like actually real snakes coming out of the wall in my basement inside, and I was like no, no, my husband was working up north, doesn't even come home at night, like he was gone at that point. He was gone five nights a week, and so it's me, it's on me, I have to take care of these snakes. I'm like no, so I'm literally calling my neighbors Nobody's home. I'm like where's?
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:everybody.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:I had to get these snakes out of my house and I have two kids and, like it was on me, I had to get these two snakes out. Over the course of the next six weeks, there were eight snakes in my basement that I had to remove and in that time there were so many initiations because when, when you end up feeling like your safe space is no longer safe, your nervous system has to, like, expand, like you have to be able to, you have to, you have to hold more than you're capable of holding at that time. And so I was taking care of the entire house, I was running my own business, I was parenting two children in school and all that comes along with all that. Now I'm dealing with snakes in my basement and the fact that I work in my basement like doing healing sessions, all these things. I'm like I can't. How do I do this anymore?
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:Through the process of those six weeks, I was receiving so many downloads I was connecting with. I kept saying like, if I'm not a fucking dragon priestess, at the end of this, I don't know what's going on, because, like, what is with these snakes? And I, obviously, being the person that I am, have gone through like things that I would call kundalini awakenings and I'm like, okay, this is what this is. I've been through this before, but this one was different because it felt like it wasn't so much in my higher chakras, it was here, it was in my reality. I was going through an upgrade in my lower chakras and that one is earth shattering.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:Now we got by the time it was the eighth snake. I was touching them. At that point I wasn't no longer afraid of them. I mean, they were just gardener. To really stop gripping your subconscious every time, I had to start taking my space back, taking my power back from the situation. I was speaking to the snakes and recognizing that these were babies I mean, they were older at this point, but they were obviously born in the walls and just having the compassion for them of knowing that they were born in the walls They've never seen nature. This isn't where they are supposed to be. So I'm like returning these snakes to nature and something about that went. Huh.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:Like that had to ruminate in my energy for a second, and by the eighth snake, I was sitting out on my deck and I was watching the sun go down and I saw in my mind's eye this image of a woman's hand holding an apple and a snake wrapped around it and I went oh my God, the Garden of Eden. I just got chills, right. I just got chills. I'm covered right now. I was like the Garden of Eden. I said I was like Eve. Right now. I was like the Garden of Eden. I said I was like Eve.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:Lilith it was Lilith, this energy of Lilith trying to come through me, this energy of sovereign, wild nature. I grew up not knowing the story of Lilith. She was completely cut out of any Bible studies, anything like that. Some people have known Lilith, but only as like a child eating demon or something like that. There's been many stories. I think, that people have heard of Lilith. Me personally, I'd never heard of Lilith until I ended up in more like occult settings and like trying to learn and research these things. In more like occult settings and like trying to learn and research these things. And I so I didn't. I hadn't even read a book on lilith, but something about this, that whole scenario this spring. I was like it's lilith and when I accepted that, it was almost as if the the light bulbs on things started clicking into place, puzzle pieces started to create this picture and all of a sudden I had this voice. I had this ability to put words to no idea how to say. It came online.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And along with it it so much rage, a lot of rage, yeah, do you think that's? What do you think that rage is about? If you were to like, reflect, because a lot of the work I do we talked about this online the the fact that we've been doing touching into rage a lot in our work. Probably, you know same and different. What did that rage open up in you, do you think?
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:It felt like I was connecting to the part of the earth that has been screaming in an empty room so powerful, like I have goosebumps that just will not go away. Right now I feel. I feel as if that women in general right now, those of us who have a womb, I should say, and those of us who are connected to our energetic wombs because it's not just women I know that there are so many waking up right now, but there's something about when you connect to your energetic womb, you are connecting to a part of the primordial. Yes, mother, goddess, that is so angry and she's done. She is done watching her children suffer. She is done being stripped without being given back. She is, she's just. She's waking us up. I'm going to cry right now. Really, she's waking us up. She's like you have not been.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:She was stripped from us in our stories, in what we've been told and in that we have been stripped and separated from a part of ourselves, and that's what's coming back in all of us and it's coming through me, through my voice right now. But I tell you it's work, it's scary, it's big, because I'm still very much, my family is very religious still, and I love that and everything that I just want to say, everything that I ever put out onto social media. Some people take it so personal and I'm like I am not speaking out and saying that Christians are horrible people. I think Christians, many Christians, are beautiful, amazing people and have beautiful hearts.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:But what we need to see is the systems that are in place have stripped us, have disconnected us, have lied to us. I'm pointing out the systems, I'm calling out the bullshit in the systems that we have been living under, and when voice gets put to that and words get put to feelings that we've had, when things just don't feel right, we feel like we're missing pieces of the story. When something finally gets put in place, it's like I understand now that people aren't just following me to follow's sake. They resonate. Something has resonated in them that they have heard, that I have said that I have also woken up to. This isn't just me.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:We are all waking up to this and I think you touched on something that was really important and as we were sharing, because I had some similar stories, similar but different in my experience, and that seems to be the golden thread.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:You have this moment of something doesn't feel right about this, like you can't quite articulate it, you can't put your finger on it, but there's that little nudge that is telling you that something about this isn't right, it isn't honest, it isn't the whole truth, and I think that's the part that we need to start paying attention to as we're all moving through all of this awakening Cause I think it's going to be so different for everybody, right, like for me. It was the Pandora box story and how you know, pandora was like you know, she was given this box by her husband and she wasn't supposed to open it and by opening it, she unleashed all this like negative emotion on humanity. And that is where our power I believe that's where a lot of our power lies, in being able to move through a lot of those emotions, and they bring so much power and transformation, but we've been taught to keep them in a box, right.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And that opening the box would be bad. So I think we can find so many examples through history of where humans in general, yes, but I think especially women, have been intentionally disconnected from our power. And you know you shared so many posts about, like, some of the biblical stories that we've heard and the stories that we've heard about Magdalene, right, very controversial, and you know there's so your perspective and I'm going to invite you to share that now, but it was. It never made sense to me how the story was described, you know, like to me, like, and it was funny like I always felt like this sense and I couldn't articulate it and you articulated it so well. So well, you know that Magdalene was misrepresented, yeah, in the bible.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And then, you know, coming across, um, you know the fact that you know she had written her own scriptures that never even, you know, never even really saw the light of day, really, um, that were completely edited out of the bible. And now, suddenly, you're getting this picture of a Magdalene who wasn't this, you know whore, that was kind of, you know, taken by Jesus and sort of healed and redeemed. You know, now she's a woman who's like a divine partner, yep, and of equal I'm getting. So Go yes, go Right, please take this Yep. And of I'm getting, go yes, go right. Please take this yes, because I'm like fumbling for the words.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:No, mary Magdalene, truly I feel she's. So many of us have heard of the concept I think of like the Rose lineage, and I feel like the Rose lineage is it's almost like a, and I feel like the rose lineage is, it's almost like it's a part of our DNA that we're all connected to and at some point it gets activated and when that gets activated it connects us to so many, so much that has been distorted. And one of those threads is that Mary Magdalene story. For a lot of us, because personally, for myself, the way that I saw Mary Magdalene was that she was this like troubled woman that needed saving and she had these like seven demons and all these things.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:And when I first people like to say, oh, she must have read Dan Brown and all this, like yes, I did, I did read Dan Brown, but that's not what. That's actually not what woke me up. That was really interesting, but it wasn't until I was actually out of this like Christian coma of believing what the Bible had told me to really be able to hear what is Mary Magdalene's story and the book that I read and I'm sure so many of us have heard of it, but it's Mary Magdalene Revealed by Megan Watterson and that book. Because Megan Watterson and that book? Because Megan Watterson has been a scholar. I believe she's in theology.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:She went to be a minister and she ended up on this pilgrimage and finding out all of these truths that have been hidden from us about Mary Magdalene and her path and who she actually was. And it was like I was walking through my own awakening just reading the truth of Mary Magdalene. And when you find out who she actually was and her influence in the rebellion that Yeshua led, it's like you are like, wow, there I am. That's the part of the story I felt like has always been missing. That's a powerful woman right there, and then you can recognize a part of yourself in that, because who she actually was is she was born into a very wealthy family.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:She was put through mystery school, she was trained in energetics, she was trained in kundalini. She was trained in all of these things. She was well-cultured and very worldly, and when her and Yeshua were introduced, they had a similar calling and so they went together on this pilgrimage of spreading this knowledge with people and waking them up from this empire. I don't even know what to call it, but it's like this empire coma, this belief that you need to worship the empire, you need to worship these lords, you need to worship these people above you and you need to pay them for sacrifices, these people above you, and you need to pay them for sacrifices and all there's. There's so much that ends up getting unraveled when you walk through that story of Mary Magdalene and who she actually was. Because she was a priestess, she was honored, those seven demons. That was just her story of walking through her own personal growth. Yeah, and because she also was in a very suppressed time where women were.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:Yes, a very suppressed time.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Women were not seen as powerful at all in that time, and she was spreading a very important message that has been suppressed even to this day, and I think even a woman who showed up in that time and did share a powerful message, especially one that might have irked a few feathers, would have earned herself a good stoning at the time for doing things like that. Because, you know, when you look at the stories of the Bible and how they've been translated and rewritten time and time again, you have to ask yourself who benefits from how the stories are written.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:Ding, ding ding. That's the right question. Right, you gotta follow the money.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:People Like you gotta ask yourself who is benefiting from, how these stories are written. And you also have to ask yourself and this is the question that has been coming up for me so hard this year, so hard and the question is, if they have tried so hard to keep us in a disempowered state, how powerful actually are we? Yeah, absolutely, when we start to let go of these beliefs that, like you said, it's bad to connect with your intuition, it's bad to talk to spirits, it's bad to be in your power, it's bad to heal, to teach all these things. There's so many things that have we have been kept from, that are literally the source to all of the, the, the power that we bring to the table, and that has been very intentional. I don't think it was not an accident, you know. So now I think we're all in this place where I think you know we're, we're seeing right where that, that oppression is kind of, instead of you know, we're going backwards, right, we're feeling more oppressed than ever, we're feeling more like tight, like tight in a box, like closed in the box, than we ever have.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And I think you're right and I think that this is signaling a powerful awakening for women, humanity in general, but I'm speaking specifically to women, because there's so much that we are capable of that has been kept from us, hidden from us that we have been, you know, powers that we have the ability to tap into, that we have been made to feel ashamed of or bad for, and I think that's, I think that's the key in all of this, and I know you've been through this journey and we're about to get cut off for time, so I'm going to have to probably restart this interview, but, if you can, quickly, you know, say to the women listening to this episode so much to unpack here, so many ways this conversation could go, but what would be your best advice if you were like the big sister in the room, as these events unfold and as the triggers, we start to feel the trigger, we start to feel the oppression, we start to have those thoughts of something's not right. How do they move through that?
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:Oh, my goodness, that's a big question, but the few things that have come up just with that for me is keep reminding yourself that who benefits if you do not trust your gut? Who benefits if you don't trust your instincts? Who benefits if you don't ask questions? And also who benefits with you feeling helpless Because if you can continue to feel, and also who benefits with you feeling helpless Because if you can continue to feel helpless.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:They want us closing our eyes and bowing our heads and staying silent, and that's what we were told is good is to close your eyes, bow your head, send thoughts and prayers, but where change happens is when you actually use your voice. Your voice is so fucking powerful.
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:Look at what happened when I started using my voice, to what I really felt rage about inside of my body and I started to use that rage as construct, like, actually use it and say like, this is how I'm expressing it, how I'm going to let it out of my body is to just say everything that I'm feeling. I recognize that I am not the only one and it empowers people to pave that way, to say no, say what's scary, because it's powerful. It changes so much the power of your voice, it's even in the Bible. You change the world with it. You can mold things, you can move mountains. It's so powerful, so say the damn thing.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:It is. It is really powerful, and I can attest to that because I can remember the goosebumps I felt when I read your post Right, and it was like, oh my God, finally somebody is saying everything that I've been feeling for so long and I could not articulate. So, thank you, thank you so much for that, and I will like I will say that you know, to mirror what you were talking about, you know of, you know the whole, you know questioning what you've been told and questioning you know who benefits from it. And just being able to challenge everything that you've kind of believed to be true is the best way that I can kind of sum it up and just finding an outlet to share all that. And also, you know reminding yourself that everything and this is something that you know I kind of sat with for quite some time everything that you've been taught to feel bad for, that is innately part of you.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:That's something to look at, because we've been taught to feel bad for so many things like our sexuality, our bodies, our feelings, whether they're good, whether they're bad, whether they're ugly, all of it, and even the whole intuitive piece, because I'm somebody who was an intuitive from a very young age and was made to feel bad for it, and so I shut that shit down quickly because I thought it was evil.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Right, I thought, connecting with spirit and connecting with the other side and having premonition all evil Everything. So my takeaway from all of this is everything that you've ever felt ashamed from or been told to feel bad for, that's where the questioning and the unraveling really truly and powerfully needs to needs to begin, because that's where I think a lot of it is hidden, because everything that we've been taught to avoid or to feel bad for, or to hide or to feel shamed of, we've been intentionally told that, because that is specifically where our power lies. Yes, oh, I love that you said that. Yep, oh my God, crystal, it was such an honor to have you on the show today. Where can people find you and get?
CRYSTAL @CRYSTALDAWNALCHEMY4:more of all of this goodness that you're putting out into the world, Because I think everybody needs it. Yes, absolutely so.
