Bridging The Shift Podcast https://bridgingtheshift.podbean.com Life was never meant to be lived alone. It takes a village.

Welcome to Bridging The Shift, where Romanian-Canadian storyteller, holistic practitioner and “deep connector”, Andrea Petrut, brings you real conversations, timeless stories and the wisdom of people who’ve helped shape and support her own village.

Now Andrea is opening that village door even wider and inviting you in! Pull up a chair as she explores how to navigate life transitions, while staying connected to ourselves, the people we love and the person we’re destined to be.

Each episode will be an honest conversation about life, love, loss, relationships, belonging, adversity, change, wisdom and the stories that shape us. We talk, listen, laugh, wonder and sometimes go to unexpected places.

Andrea will share weekly stories and insights and also invite others to share in the conversation. Because this isn’t just about listening to someone else’s story.

It’s about becoming part of the village —sharing our common humanity.

Come curious. Come as you are. Bring your stories, your questions and your beautifully imperfect human self.

This was a time of flow, synchronicities, packed with insights.

Together we learn about:

  • landing in our roots,
  • staying curious before, during and after meal times
  • what integration means from her experience
  • how a firecracker of a human, a high-achiever, extraordinary mother and friend can find nourishment in her day
  • natural ways to enjoy meal time with your family and children while resourcing...and more...
About the guest: Christianne Asper-Contant, CAS, E-RYT 500, has spent more than two decades exploring how we experience ourselves through the intersecting lenses of psychology, Ayurveda, and yoga. Her work begins with a simple recognition: the body is always communicating. Rather than offering another set of rules to follow, Christianne helps people become better observers of their own experience—learning to notice patterns, recognize what supports them, and participate more fully in their own well-being. She is a longtime Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist, yoga teacher and educator. As the steward of Assisi Yoga in Rochester, New York she helps cultivate a place where yoga is practiced in community and in relationship with real life. Through Well-Being Compass, she offers individual work and guided experiences designed to help people listen, respond, and return to their natural rhythm. Where to find Christianne:

Nourishing Cleanse - A Message from Christianne:

"If this conversation leaves you curious about your own relationship with food and nourishment, I invite you to explore my Nourishing Cleanse.

This guided Ayurvedic experience isn't about deprivation, perfection, or finding another set of food rules to follow. It’s about receiving nourishment. For a short period of time, we simplify our relationship with food so we can more fully notice our own experience of appetite, digestion, senses, satisfaction and habits.

Ayurveda and I provide the container. Your experience provides the discovery.

You'll hear women telling, women sharing, women listening.
You'll hear how we connected, what kept us friends and supports us in the storytelling.

Women who listen to stories that call them (without taking on a male storyteller's way of telling or interpreting or perspective) allow life to speak to us through them, as a conduit, in ways that our hearts can hear. 

LISTEN to two stories that touched Jo.
FEEL how storytelling has sacredness and touches like acupuncture points in our life.
NOTICE, HEAR your insights and share if you feel so in by emailing me or Jo.

He  was given amoxicillin to cure that ear infection, and it did, but at the same time caused new problems. He developed a condition called Stevens-Johnson syndrome which is a high allergic reaction to medication. It made all his skin burn off, hair fall out, and so much more. The one thing he still has from this condition 30 years later is that he is legally blind.

He had to navigate this world with very mediocre vision, on top of that being molested in school, bullying, having issues with mental health, and more.

He created his own podcast now in his early thirties, called “My Blurred Opinion” to give a safe space to others to be themselves and to share their amazing stories. TJ wants people with disabilities to be proud of who they are, and to be accepted in the world as anyone else would be. Through this journey he has met so many amazing people, and it has been very therapeutic for himself. As this journey is going on he is unlocking new possibilities for himself.  Website to learn about him and his podcast: https://my-blurred-opinion.onpodium.com/ Listen “My Blurred Opinion” on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-blurred-opinion/id1521610750

  • Women Spirituality
  • Divine Feminine
  • Ancient Mysteries
  • The Women Mystery's School

Vivien Monroe, Ph.D. is an author, educator, and priestess of the Divine Feminine.

She integrates her training as a priestess and gifts as an intuitive, and channel with decades of study of spirituality, mysticism, and personal growth.

She is passionate about helping women to tap into greater reservoirs of inner power, honor their intuitive wisdom, and unapologetically live life on their own terms.

Vivien found this path after spending years working in the corporate and educational sectors. She was a chronic overachiever and felt that the only way to succeed was through masculine ways of doing and being: competition, pushing through, working harder, and longer. She was cut off from her inner feminine, which resulted in increased fatigue, anxiety, and clinical depression.

Through her spiritual work, she learned to integrate her feminine and masculine aspects. This focus on bringing balance through supporting the feminine is woven into her work with clients, using both her intuitive wisdom and rigorous critical thinking and organizational approach.

Vivien is a regular speaker at conferences and events for women, including the American Academy of Religions, the Association for the Study of Women and Mythology, and Faith and Feminism. ✨✨✨✨✨

The Women’s Mystery School - https://www.womensmysteryschool.org/

 It was created to support the spiritual emancipation and empowerment of women. For far too long the Divine Feminine has been hidden, shamed, or demonized. The impact this has on the psyche of women is immeasurable.

Our stories have been suppressed, our lineages broken, and we are left looking for crumbs and not entirely finding where our voice, our wisdom, and our magick fit within the world.

At the Women’s Mystery School the belief is that knowledge is power and through the mentorship of women leaders, visionaries, and healers we can embark upon the path of spiritual decolonization. The school offers community, resources, and wisdom teachings to encourage women to discover and reclaim their Divine Feminine lineage and become the wise women the world needs.

Mission

  •  to support the spiritual emancipation of women.
  •  to help them explore & dismantle the beliefs, messages, & paradigms that have disempowered, shamed, & demonized the feminine within various religious frameworks.
  •  to empower women to reclaim their Spiritual Sovereignty and restore their Divine Feminine lineage.

  • Unleashing your innate, unique presence and come ALIVE from head-to-toe in a way that is beyond most people's wildest dreams
  • Speaking as a spiritual path
  • Presence in Speaking
  • Voice as a spiritual path
  • Sensitivity/Empathy as a superpower in speaking.

Lauri Smith is an intuitive public speaking and leadership coach. She helps visionaries on a soul-driven mission to stand in their power, speak their truth, and Lead. Lauri is the CEO of Voice Matters and the author of "Your Voice Matters: A Guide to Speaking Soulfully When It Counts."

Her mission is to call forth more open-hearted leaders so they can do their part to change the world with authenticity, creativity, and courage.

She envisions a world in which everyone shares the vibration of their soul’s purpose with the world through their voices and together, we reach global harmony.

Lauri can always see the soul underneath the static - which makes her really good at motivating people to fight their inner demons and find tremendous inner power.

She loves coffee, dark chocolate, and red wine (and she’s incredibly picky about all three.)

Lauri is busy living her Carpe Diem life in San Francisco, California with her soulmate. Here you can find out more about working with Lauri and you can book a breakthrough session: https://voice-matters.com/work-with-me/ Watch here a short clip sharing what she does.

“We learn with Heart Imagery that we really are connected and we actually are all connected. We just need to settle down and breathe, and let it all come to us and stop letting other people tell us who and what we are.” (Margery Detring) Topics discussed in the interview:
  • Connection to nature since childhood and how she got to teaching in Indigenous community
  • Experiences with the Hopi and the Zuni Pueblo
  • Simultaneous timeliness and the difference between a waking dream
  • Traditions that maintain and hold together that old relationship
  • Drunvalo Melchizedek, the Tibetan Monks and the relationship with the Hopi
  • Keeping the Origin
  • Learning from Drunvalo on site and unique ceremonies, some of which happen only once every 500 years
  • An extraordinary life experience where she was drummed backed into this world
  • Personal experiences, realization, and wisdom from using Heart Imagery in life
Margery Detring is a Certified Teacher in Journeys into the Heart: The Inner Path and Heart Imagery: Cleaning the Past and Self Renewal as well as Awakening the Illuminated Heart. She is also trained in Extra Ocular Vision (brain reconnection working with children), a Reiki master, jewelry maker, energy worker,  and a nutritional educator. She first studied with Drunvalo Melchizedek in 1999, becoming a teacher in Awakening the Illuminated Heart in 2013. Margery began studying with Daniel Mitel in 2013, beginning Kriya Yoga  in 2015, and Cleaning the Past and Heart Imagery in 2018. She has lived in some of the most beautiful wild places in the US with her Park Ranger husband and children, taught University level classes in history, geography, and geology,and is a geologist. She has been the proprietor of Ancient Way Trader since 1994, and a jewelry maker using semiprecious stones and sterling silver since 1997. After earning her first Masters degree, she and her husband began working and hiking in National Parks, often living in the backcountry, where bears, moose, deer, beaver, coyotes, and more, were as common as raccoons and turtles are in in most of the US. The family lived in or near several Indian Reservations in the West, and it was while there that Margery learned that her lineage included at least two Native American tribes. After moving to the Florida Keys when her husband became Chief Ranger of Everglades National Park , Margery opened Ancient Way Trader, named after the east-west road between pueblos across Northern New Mexico, which in translation to English is “The Ancient Way.”  Since her family lived on this road and many Native craftspeople lived near this road, the name Ancient Way was chosen for the store to showplace their authentic crafts, art, and music. She was active in the Pow Wow circuit through Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia and Florida from 1997 to 2008 until moving to Ozark National Scenic Riverways, where she stayed closer to home with parents and grandchildren. Since moving to Missouri,  Margery has focused on teaching and weaving baskets of hand gathered local materials and creating jewelry from semiprecious stones and sterling silver. Music by: ]]>
