The Spiritual Lessons I Learned From One Year of Podcasting

In this episode, Melinda playfully interviews herself! She reflects on her first year of podcasting and how her approach will change for year 2.  It's a conversational solocast in which she shares how the process has actually felt like behind the scenes including the cringe moments and the lessons she has integrated throughout the process.  Finding your true, natural podcasting "voice" is no simple matter when you have been trained to deliver material as an academic!  After one year of practice, she feels more comfortable talking to a screen, broadening out her mythic topics all the while trusting and knowing you are there listening and enjoying the content! Something has changed and her delivery feels liberated at last! Going forward, Melinda will still bring on wonderful guests and source the wisdom of Myth, fairy tales, literature, philosophy, Tarot, Oracle & more but will allow herself more space to riff and freestyle with associations in hopes to inspire you to dance with more lightheartedness in your life even as you wade through the inevitable ups and downs. Like Marie Kondo, she wants her podcast to Spark Joy!  She will also be sharing more about her life as body alchemist and give some mini belly dance lessons here and there - because...why not!  Melinda pays homage to the wonderful guests who agreed to come on the podcast this past year including midwife Éirinn Lance, structural integrator Ellen Halpern, Wise Fool Alex Pavlata, Psychotherapist / Shamanic Practitioner Ann Drake & Professional Circus Artist / Handbalancer Justin Durham. She thanks her beloved Alchemy & Reiki teacher Yolanda Williams of Reiki Radio who spearheaded the Awakening Airwaves project and created the wonderful community and podcasting platform for all of us here. She expresses gratitude to her fellow Awakening Airways podcasters for sharing from their hearts their wisdom, their unique perspectives, their helpful & inspiring ways of expressing. They have all taught her and inspired her so much already. Happy Anniversary! Join Melinda at the Second Annual Awakening Conference! https://yewchi.teachable.com/p/the-annual-awakening-conference-weekend-of-masterclasses?affcode=162867_g_pnbhmcYOUR HOSThttps://speakeasyreiki.comhttps://www.instagram.com/speakeasyreikiThank you for joining us on Awakening Airwaves!
