I’m Joanna, the creator of Blue Lotus Queendom and co-author of Divine Dreamers. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been captivated by dreams and the hidden landscapes of the subconscious. That passion led me to study and practice dreamwork, Yoga Nidra, sound healing, and other rest-based modalities — all ways of accessing the liminal spaces where insight and healing emerge. Through my work, I help others find clarity, release exhaustion, and build trust in their own inner guidance so they can walk through life more aligned and whole.

Take Flight with Jada Davis Jada Davis Welcome to the ✈️ Take Flight with Jada Davis Podcast This is your captain, Jada Davis, speaking. I want to welcome everyone to Take Flight with me to navigate the journey of launching your next big idea. This flight is intended for the new business owner, the person with a good idea but not sure where to begin, and that person working on a job, dreaming of the day they can work for themselves. We are currently at a cruising altitude, the seatbelt light is turned off, and it’s time for you to execute. The Obelisk / Nox Mente Jerry Cthulhu and Niish The Obelisk is our new show. The show will run each month on the week when the Moon is full. Our format includes chit-chat, astroweather forecasts, news of the weird, guest conversation and then maybe live call-ins! Nox Mente is our old show dedicated to exploring consciousness through dreams, dreaming, and dream theory using a wide angle lens. We have opened up this conversation to a diverse world of dreamers. Our goal is to help in the process of bringing conscious intent to the state of dreaming — light to the shadowy corners of this experience we all have access to, each time we drift off to sleep.We strive to maintain an open and neutral environment as hosts. There are many theories on the process of dreaming and altered states, and we want to hear them all. No information is irrelevant when it comes to dreams. It is in the overlap of individual experiences that we find pathways into the thinking and journeys of the collective.Join our Discord server for more real time chatter No Going Home Spineless Wonders Audio Dundalli has been instilling fear in the settlers for years as they continue to encroach ever further inland. Superstitions abound as he seemingly has the power to disappear and reappear at will, always just out of their reach. That is until they are handed a divine gift.Make-a-Light, the gigantic nephew of the frontier warrior, declares himself a warrior of God and dons the uniform of the enemy. Out of options, Dundalli decides to turn himself in, hoping to save his people and heal his nephew's spirit before he's executed and sent to sit with the Ancestors, where he plans to continue his fight from the Dreaming. But help is already on the way: a powerful Spirit is sent to the Waking world in an eternal cycle transcending time itself... Highly Optimized Ryan Sprague The Highly Optimized Podcast is your backstage pass to the minds of modern-day wizards, creatives, and changemakers who’ve ditched the rulebook and designed life on their terms. I launched this show to help others (like you) break free from the boring box society tries to stuff us into—and to remind you that you’re not crazy for dreaming big. Through deep, real, and sometimes hilarious conversations, we explore the inner work, wild ideas, and bold moves that light the path of the hero’s journey. This isn’t about fitting in—it’s about tuning in and turning your life all the way up.
