Have you ever just known something before it happened? Felt a presence you couldn't explain? Received a sign so undeniable you couldn't write it off as coincidence?

In this episode, I sit down with Julie Jancius — world-renowned angel expert, host of the Angels and Awakening podcast, and Angel Reiki master — for one of the most honest, grounded, and genuinely surprising conversations I've ever had on this show. Julie has a gift for making the "woo woo" feel completely approachable, and she backs it up with science, history, and her own deeply personal story.

Whether you've been skeptical of anything spiritual, or you've quietly had experiences you've never told anyone — this one is for you.

In this episode, Dr. Jessica McIntyre (JMac) introduces a powerful framework that explains why external validation isn't enough, and what's actually missing in your career. She shares her own journey from a panic attack in the call room to discovering the difference between filling your "ego cup" (external achievements) and nourishing your "soul cup" (internal fulfillment).

This conversation will resonate deeply if you've ever felt successful on paper but empty in reality.

In this deeply grounded and expansive conversation, host Dympna Weil sits down with author, speaker, and transformation coach Cynthia James to explore what it truly means to reclaim your voice — not a louder voice or a performative one, but an authentic voice rooted in values, embodiment, and integrity.

Together, they unpack how so many capable, thoughtful people learned that it was safer to stay quiet, how old identities and stories keep us stuck, and why healing doesn’t happen through force — but through inquiry, creativity, and integration. The conversation moves fluidly between personal trauma, collective grief, creative expression, and the quiet power of aligning our lives with what we truly value.

T

his episode is both a reflection on the state of the world and an invitation: to reconnect with your body, your voice, your community, and the deeper wisdom that already lives within you.

Key Takeaways

• Your past may inform you — but it does not have to define you

• The body is always communicating; learning its language restores choice

• Creativity isn’t optional — it’s a form of regulation and liberation

• When values and actions are misaligned, suffering follows

• Collective grief is real — and so is collective healing

• Community is not a luxury; it’s a nervous system need

• Living in integrity with your values is a powerful act of leadership

Memorable Quotes

• “Who are you if you no longer need the story that kept you safe?”

• “The body is a messenger — not the enemy.”

• “If we say we value humanity but act differently, the dissonance creates suffering.”

• “Community is a frequency — and when we live in integrity, we find one another.”
