This space holds honest conversations about the soul, healing, love, consciousness, grief, growth, and what it means to be human.

This podcast isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering who you truly are.

What began as a quiet inner calling has grown into a place where we explore self-love, intuition, feminine wisdom, and the journey of becoming who we truly are, especially for mothers, creatives, and seekers navigating healing and transformation.

Some episodes are contemplative.
Some are personal reflections and lived stories.
Some are conversations.
Some are songs.

Some are reminders that you’re not alone.
And some are simply shared from the heart.

This podcast is shared in real time.

Raw, honest, and unpolished.

If something resonates, take what’s yours and leave the rest.

You’re always welcome here.

The Journey so far

This short visual (without sound) reflects moments and creations from the podcast so far.

A simple snapshot of what has been shared along the way.

The Birth Story of the Podcast

This podcast was born from love, loss, and an unrelenting curiosity about what lives beyond the veil.

After my mother and my beloved Pixie transitioned to heaven back-to-back in 2024, I was catapulted into a profound inquiry. I was reshaped entirely.

I found myself investigating the nature of the Soul. I wanted to know what happens at the moment of physical death, and how science, quantum physics, and Soul Essence psychology all point toward a continuity of consciousness beyond this incarnation. All the while, I have been fervently building countless rituals for memoralizing my beloveds.

Grief became a portal.

I wrote endlessly, from poetry, journal entries, to fragmented downloads in the quiet hours. I devoured research, enrolled in metaphysical and consciousness-based studies, and followed the threads that kept revealing themselves with unmistakable clarity. What I was discovering felt too alive to keep to myself. I felt called to give it voice.

The first expressions emerged on YouTube, and two months later, those transmissions found a deeper container: a podcast. In its earliest form, I named it “MC Mama Bird’s Chirps,” inspired by my artist name and my lifelong love of birds, rhythm, and rhyme. Birds have always felt like messengers to me, the observers between worlds, and these early episodes were exactly that: chirps, offerings, fragments from the field.

The podcast was officially born during the solstice of June 19, 2025, initially living on Spotify. By September, it found its home with Buzzsprout, expanding into a wide constellation of listening platforms and directories across the globe.

Now, just months later, the podcast is listened to in over 65 countries and 240 cities, with more than 1,500 downloads and presence in 20 listening Directories.

A humbling reminder that these questions are shared, and that we are not alone in our remembering.

I have always been a questioner, a storyteller, and a talker, ever since I was little. In many ways, this podcast feels less like something new and more like a remembering of what I’ve always done.

Sometimes I ask myself… why didn’t I do this sooner?
And then I realize: this podcast arrived exactly when it was meant to, born not from strategy, but from soul.

My girls in heaven: my mom (Nana), my beloved dog Pixie, and my grandma Toya.

Future Series and Creative Visions

As The Empowered Soul Podcast continues to grow, I’m excited to slowly expand into new storytelling series and conversations that celebrate soul, creativity, and community.

Some of the visions unfolding for the podcast include:

• Voices of the Black Hills — conversations with local artists, creators, and wisdom keepers from this beautiful, special, ancient, and sacred region in South Dakota.

• Latino & Spanish-Speaking Voices — honoring the stories, creativity, and ancestral wisdom of Latino and Spanish-speaking authors, artists, and cultural voices through heartfelt conversations.

• Artists & Creative Voices — conversations with painters, musicians, writers, and creators exploring the inspiration, healing, and soul expression that flows through art.

• Healing Foods & Conscious Kitchens — conversations with chefs, herbalists, and food creators who honor nourishment, traditional wisdom, and the healing relationship between food, body, and spirit.

• Soul Mama Series — continuing heartfelt conversations honoring the sacred journey of motherhood.

• Nature & Indigenous Wisdom Conversations — listening to voices connected to the land, permaculture, and ancient traditions.

• Sacred Travel & Soul Journeys — reflections and conversations about meaningful travels to sacred lands and places that awaken wonder, connection, and deeper remembrance of the soul.

• Soul Yoga Reflections — exploring the emerging path of Soul Yoga and practices for connecting with the Higher Self.

• Soul Journey Conversations — future reflections inspired by my studies in Past Life and Between Lives Soul Regression.

There is already a cozy little list of people who have expressed interest in sharing their stories, and I look forward to beginning these interviews in divine time as my current trainings and certifications come to completion.

If you feel called to share your voice, story, or work in the world, I warmly invite you to reach out.

These conversations are meant to be authentic, heartfelt, inspiring, and rooted in the shared journey of being human and for the evolution of Earth and humanity.
