In this powerful episode of Enter the Portal, I welcome Sofiah Thom, founder of Temple Body Arts® School, embodied feminine leadership guide, ritual artist, and co-founder of Envision Festival. Born into a fourth-generation spiritual lineage, Sofiah shares how her lifelong relationship with spiritual practice, dance, devotion, and deep listening has shaped her path as a visionary teacher, ceremonialist, and spiritual midwife.

Together, Sofiah and I open a rich conversation around womb wisdom, fertility, miscarriage, sacred sexuality, rites of passage, and the creative power that lives inside every woman. Sofiah speaks honestly about the 2017 near-death miscarriage that became a profound rebirth portal, ultimately leading her to fully birth Temple Body Arts into the world. Her story is a reminder that sometimes the thing we think we are meant to create shifts shape, and through grief, surrender, and trust, something even more aligned emerges.

This episode explores what it means to live in devotion to your soul’s purpose, trust the body’s knowing, and honor the pivots that life asks of us. Sofiah and I weave through themes of feminine leadership, spiritual awakening, perimenopause, sabbatical, ritual, discernment, creative expression, and the courage it takes to stop playing small. She also shares about releasing old identities, cutting energetic cords, listening to the womb, and stepping onto the global stage as a ceremonialist, artist, and guide for women who are ready to remember who they truly are.

Sofiah’s work through Temple Body Arts® supports visionary women, artists, mystics, and feminine leaders in embodied wisdom, ritual dance, sensuality, voice, creative power, and transformational leadership. Her current offerings include mystery school pathways, ritual artistry, trauma-informed facilitation, and global activations for women ready to live their YES.

Welcome back to Enter the Portal. This solo episode is for the woman who has read the books, done the trainings, collected the tools, and still feels like she's hovering just outside the thing she's actually here to do.

I'm talking about the difference between the dreams we were handed and the ones that are actually ours. So many women spend years chasing goals that look good on the outside but feel hollow inside. Not because they chose wrong, but because they never got to choose. Family, culture, and expectation all have a way of filling in the blanks before we ever get the chance.

I also get into why so many capable women stay stuck in preparation mode. It's rarely about time or money or not knowing enough. More often, it's this: the fear that if you go after what you actually want, you'll lose where you belong. That fear is quiet. But it runs deep.

This episode is about naming it, building enough safety in your body to move through it, and taking your real calling seriously, maybe for the first time.

• 00:00 — A brief welcome back and the deeper intention behind this conversation
• 01:59 — I introduce the heart of this episode: the difference between inherited dreams and the deeper dreams that are truly yours
• 05:09 — I share where the idea of “dreaming bigger” began for me and how it first shifted my perspective
• 07:21 — I break down what “dreaming big” means and why many conventional milestones are often shaped by conditioning
• 13:18 — I give examples of soul dreams and what it can look like when you begin honoring what is uniquely yours to create
• 16:41 — I talk about why so many women stay stuck in research, preparation, and circling instead of moving forward
• 21:47 — I introduce Reclaiming, my free online retreat for women who are ready to reclaim their voice, dreams, and life force

Your support helps us reach more people who need these conversations around healing, purpose, nervous system regulation, and feminine power. And if you’ve been circling a dream that won’t leave you alone, let this be your reminder: it’s there for a reason.

This conversation with Tara Kabatov strips shadow work down to what it actually is. Not something to journal about and move on. Not an Instagram trend. Real shadow work means looking at the parts of yourself you've avoided and learning how to be with them, in your body, without numbing or escaping.

Tara created The Shadow Project after her own unraveling pulled her out of corporate life and into deep internal work. We talked about how unconscious patterns show up in our bodies, how they get reinforced through relationships, and why most people are still looking for answers outside themselves. She shared how a lifelong rupture with a parent shifted only after she changed her own internal landscape, not through confrontation, but through doing the work on herself.

We also got into ancestral patterning, how pain becomes physical when it's been ignored for too long, and why most of what's called shadow work out there is actually just spiritual bypassing in disguise.

If you've been circling the same patterns for years, this one's for you.

Twenty years ago, I walked out of a weekend seminar a completely different woman. I had no idea that my Saturn return journey would take me from a bathroom floor crying over a guy who kept leaving, to building a global community of thousands. But here's what nobody tells you about transformation work: the healing isn't the destination.

We're living through a moment that astrologers are calling a reconfiguration of our civilization. The old systems are crumbling. And while the world feels heavy right now, I believe we're standing at the threshold of our Creative Revolution. Not someday when we're healed enough or ready enough, but right now, messy and alive and here.

For eight years, the Wild Ones has been a space for self-expression and community. But I've been feeling this itch, this pull toward something deeper. And this month, I finally named it. My real mission has always been helping wild ones build things that create change in the world. The film festivals. The gardens. The podcasts. The movements. The things that matter.

So we're deepening. The Wild Ones is shifting from monthly moon cycles to seasonal three-month containers, moving through earth, air, water, and fire. More space. More breath. More room for you to actually create the thing your heart is calling you to build. This episode is my confession, my declaration, and your invitation to stop waiting for permission.

Episode Breakdown:

1. 00:25 — A once-in-millennia astrological shift is here, and it's pushing us into a new era
2. 04:10 — My Saturn return bathroom floor moment and the seminar that changed everything
3. 10:03 — The film festival that shifted me from healing mode into creator mode
4. 18:18 — The realization that rocked my world: self-development isn't the destination
5. 25:12 — How Wild Ones is evolving from moon-to-moon into seasonal containers
6. 30:10 — Inside the seasonal framework: elements, cycles, and the Wild Spiral
7. 39:53 — You're needed now, not someday when you're ready

Thank you for listening! Remember to keep exploring, stay curious, and embrace your wild, beautiful self. ✨

If you’ve ever wondered what your soul is really here to do… this episode is for you.

Today on Enter the Portal, I sit down with Gene Keys guide and Human Design teacher Maria Henning to explore the power of self-awareness, spiritual evolution, and decoding your personal energetic blueprint. With her roots in science and a deep connection to mysticism, Maria brings a rare clarity to what it actually means to trust yourself, follow your path, and live from your highest frequency.

We explore the full arc of her story—from being raised Catholic in Venezuela, to rejecting spirituality completely, to eventually discovering Human Design, manifestation, and the Gene Keys. This conversation is expansive, honest, and full of those “oh wow, that’s me” kind of moments.

Whether you’re curious about what the Gene Keys are, how they compare to Human Design and astrology, or you just want to feel more connected to your purpose—you’ll find something here that resonates. We also bust some myths (like the one about “specific vs. nonspecific manifestors”), and talk about how these systems aren’t here to box you in, but to free you.

• [00:00] — Maria’s wild path from Catholic roots to scientific rebellion and back to spirituality
• [09:56] — How Human Design, manifestation, and self-trust opened the door to deeper work
• [16:33] — What those “manifestation arrows” really mean—and where they come from
• [24:57] — Discovering the Gene Keys: the unexpected system that finally clicked
• [34:18] — Astrology, Human Design, and Gene Keys explained (in plain language)
• [36:38] — The I Ching, the 64 gates, and how cosmic coding shapes your energy
• [46:00] — How to actually use the Gene Keys for self-discovery, purpose, and transformation

When life begins to feel too small, when the soul aches beneath the surface of success, when burnout becomes your baseline—what happens if you stop pushing and start listening?

In this deeply human, soul-stirring episode of Enter the Portal, Verena Borell joins us to share her story of unraveling and reweaving. A guide, evolutionary astrologer, and somatic practitioner-in-training, Verena opens up about the moment her seemingly perfect life—glamorous, global, and go-go-go—collapsed from the inside out. Beneath the surface of curated content and a thriving business, she was living on four hours of sleep, wired on caffeine, and totally disconnected from her truth.

What followed was not a quick fix or a bold leap—but a slow, sacred process of remembering. Through deep rest, ancestral reconnection, and the healing language of the body, Verena found her way back. And today, she holds space for others to do the same: to feel their way home, to reclaim the pace of nature, and to find liberation not in doing more—but in becoming more of who they truly are.

This conversation is a balm for anyone walking through burnout, questioning their path, or quietly whispering, “This isn’t mine anymore.” It’s a call to soften, to slow down, and to trust the spiral of becoming.

Astrologer and intuitive guide Shannon Earthtree returns to Enter the Portal to help us navigate the Virgo New Moon and the transformative eclipse season unfolding this October. With her grounded clarity and heart-centered wisdom, Shannon unpacks what’s really happening in the skies and how we can meet this moment with intention, softness, and trust.

This New Moon brings the humble energy of Virgo, reminding us that even the smallest acts of service—when rooted in love—have lasting power. Shannon invites us to explore how we can give without overextending, and how tending to our inner world creates ripples in the outer one. We talk about slowing down, caring more gently for ourselves and others, and allowing space for spiritual alignment.

As the partial solar eclipse approaches, we discuss why this isn't the time to launch or push forward, but to listen deeply, restore, and connect with our lineage. Shannon offers accessible, soulful practices for ancestor work—like setting a simple bowl of food on an altar and asking clearly for support. We also explore the cosmic significance of October 2nd, a powerful day for new beginnings and energetic clarity, and how to use this moment to step into aligned action.

Throughout the conversation, Shannon offers insight on how planetary movements are shaping our inner and outer worlds—from Mercury’s invitation to meditate, to Venus and Mars shifting our relationship with energy, boundaries, and connection. The conversation closes with a preview of the upcoming Pisces Full Moon, which brings a wave of quiet depth, healing, and gentle emotional release.

• 17:19 — Why October 2nd is your cosmic green light for aligned action and forward movement
• 20:13 — Navigating planetary shifts: what Venus, Mercury, Mars, and the Sun are stirring up
• 30:23 — Jupiter’s brief return to Cancer and what this opening means for expansion and hope

From the moment we hit record, I knew this conversation with Serafina Capranos was going to take us somewhere deep. She’s a homeopath, herbalist, and trained priestess whose work weaves together the healing power of plants, deep intuition, and the unseen realms—and I’m so honored to share this conversation with you.

In this episode of Enter the Portal, Serafina opens up about the portal that changed everything: a spinal injury at age 16 that not only interrupted the life she thought she was meant to live, but also opened her to profound psychic experiences and a whole new path. From there, she followed intuitive threads that led her to train with a Toltec shaman in New Mexico, study homeopathy at the highest level, and eventually step into her priestesshood—holding space for others through ritual, service, and deep reverence for nature.

Together, we explore the lost roots of medicine, the historical erasure of women healers, and how reclaiming our own inner authority—our intuition—is the most important medicine we have. We talk about ritual as a way of life, what it means to live in service as a priestess, and how we can all begin to slow down, listen, and rejoin the rhythm of the Earth.

This episode is rich with wisdom and remembrance. Serafina’s presence is a portal in itself—gentle, powerful, and utterly transformative.

• 00:53 — Reclaiming our connection to the Earth: Serafina’s mission to awaken healing through plants, nature, and nervous system regulation
• 03:02 — A spinal injury as portal: pain, psychic awakening, and mystical training in the unseen realms

• 17:54 — Herbalism vs. Homeopathy: understanding the distinct roots and magic of both healing traditions
• 22:12 — The alchemy of Samuel Hahnemann: how modern homeopathy emerged from mysticism and medicine
• 30:11 — Why ancient healing was suppressed: patriarchy, profit, and the politics of medicine
• 36:20 — Slowing down to listen: how intuition and embodiment guide true healing
