Dive into the spiritual undercurrents of our complicated relationship with money as Chloe and Chione explore how dramatically different upbringings shaped their financial mindsets.

Details

With raw vulnerability, Chloe reveals growing up in a "gypsy lifestyle" where she was taught that wealth was inherently evil and that wealthy people were corrupt targets to be exploited. Her journey from believing that education was "a giant casino game set up for failure" to recognizing her own worth unfolds with powerful honesty. See episode #5, From Struggles to Spirit, to hear Chloe's childhood story.

Meanwhile, Chione shares her contrasting experience of growing up in poverty with the primary goal of becoming educated enough to ensure she would never be poor again. Together, they untangle how these early frameworks created lasting impacts on their spiritual journeys, self-worth, and professional choices. See episode #3, From Courtrooms to Coaching, to hear how Chione's sister chose a legal career to stop the cycle of poverty in their lives.

The conversation shifts beyond personal stories to examine broader questions about spiritual authenticity in a capitalist society. How can spiritual practitioners value their services appropriately without feeling greedy? Is charging for spiritual work contradictory to spiritual growth? The hosts don't just identify these tensions—they work through them, offering listeners a path toward reconciliation between material wellness and spiritual integrity.

Perhaps the most transformative insight emerges when they challenge the scarcity mindset that often underlies our financial thinking. "I believe that we can all live in abundance financially and internally without taking from others," Chloe affirms, reframing abundance as unlimited rather than zero-sum. This perspective shift creates space for a healthier relationship with money that supports rather than hinders spiritual development.

Whether you're wrestling with financial insecurity, questioning the ethics of charging for your gifts, or seeking to break free from limiting money beliefs, this conversation offers compassionate perspective and practical wisdom for aligning your financial and spiritual lives. The episode concludes with a beautiful abundance invocation that listeners can adopt into their own practice.

Author Sherry Tuegel's journey from Quaker meetings to tantric healing offers a roadmap for anyone seeking deeper connection with their whole being. Her new book, Stripped Naked and Other Songs of Love, takes you along this tantric healing journey.

Details

In this soul-stirring episode, author and energy worker Sherry Tuegel shares how her Quaker childhood taught her to "sit down and wait for God to talk to you" – creating a foundation for the profound spiritual experiences that would shape her life. With disarming honesty, she describes moments of divine guidance, including hearing clear messages during personal crises: "Sherry, you don't learn with your mind."

What sets Tuegel’s perspective apart is her refreshing take on spiritual duality. Rather than viewing our separateness as something to transcend, she celebrates it: "We come here for this dance of duality... I get to know you as something different from me and that, to me, is exquisite." This philosophy creates space for both spiritual unity and human individuality.

Tuegel describes her encounters with Sekhem (All Love) energy – an ancient Egyptian transmission that Patrick Ziegler received during an overnight stay in the Great Pyramid of Giza. During All Love sessions, this energy goes "wherever you're blocking love or wherever you need healing," triggering profound physical sensations, emotional releases, and spiritual openings. The hosts share their firsthand experiences with this powerful modality, describing light visions and feelings of safety that transcended typical social experiences.

Perhaps most courageously, Tuegel discusses her integration of sexuality and spirituality through tantric practices. Challenging Western reductions of tantra to merely sexual techniques, she explains that "red tantra is the little fingernail on the body of tantra" – with meditation forming the majority of the tradition. Her journey into tantric healing merged spiritual awakening with embodied pleasure, where practitioners "turned to light bodies" during a session.

Throughout our conversation, Tuegel returns to simple yet profound guidance: "Love yourself and feel deeply into your heart and let it be the leader." By grounding in bodily sensation and heart-centered awareness, we access the present moment where transformation occurs.

Ready to experience deeper self-acceptance and spiritual connection? Listen now and discover how honoring your whole being—body, heart, and spirit—creates the foundation for authentic awakening.

Have you ever followed an intuitive pull toward a place or practice that later revealed itself as part of your spiritual destiny? Ashley Brown's journey from Tumblr-browsing teenager to confident witch is a testament to trusting those subtle nudges from the universe.

Details
Ashley, founder of Nerdventures travel company, shares how her spiritual path began with secretly borrowed books and blossomed into a nature-based practice deeply connected to the land around her Florida home. Despite her Roman Catholic upbringing, Ashley found herself drawn to witchcraft's welcoming embrace, gradually developing rituals that feel authentic rather than prescribed. Her story illustrates how our spiritual practices evolve when we release the pressure to "do it right" and simply follow what resonates.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Ashley describes her visit to Delphi, Greece—a journey that unexpectedly became a profound spiritual awakening. Standing in Apollo's temple, she experienced an overwhelming sense of connection and joy, particularly remarkable given her usual aversion to the sun. Months later, an astrocartography reading revealed her sun line runs directly through Greece, suggesting this location naturally enhances her sense of self. These meaningful "coincidences" confirm what many spiritual seekers discover: sometimes our souls know our path long before our conscious minds catch up.

Whether you're a practicing witch, a curious seeker, or simply someone who loves travel with deeper meaning, Ashley's wisdom offers a refreshing perspective. Her advice? Keep it simple, follow what naturally draws you, and don't feel pressured to do everything at once. Connect with us at mysticalmermaidelounge.buzzsprout.com and share how her journey resonates with your own spiritual explorations.

What happens when your carefully planned European vacation starts with a mid-air flight turnaround and four days in the same clothes? A spiritual journey unlike any other.

When Chione's flight to Amsterdam was diverted back to Baltimore due to a fire in a substation of the Heathrow Airport, it was just the beginning of a series of travel mishaps that would transform her perspective forever.

Details

Traveling through the Netherlands, Germany, and Luxembourg without luggage might sound like a nightmare, but it became the perfect backdrop for profound discoveries about humanity, history, and the power of chosen happiness.

The heart of this episode lies in unexpected encounters with three Moroccan taxi drivers who shared not just their cultural pride ("We have the best food in the world!") but profound wisdom about peaceful coexistence. "Allah tells me to live in my house over here and you live in your house over there... Why do we have to tell each other how to live?" one driver asked, offering a simple but powerful perspective on global conflicts.

Standing in the remains of 2000-year-old Roman baths built in 4 AD and marketplaces where witch trials led to the execution of countless women (research showed one out of two women were killed in certain regions), Keone confronts the duality of human existence—our capacity for remarkable creation and shocking cruelty. The persecution methods detailed from historical torture museums reveal uncomfortable truths about how societies have systematically silenced women throughout history.

Between fascinating historical revelations and philosophical taxi rides, this episode weaves together moments of vulnerability, humor, and spiritual insight. The most powerful takeaway? "Happiness is a choice" and true magic isn't found only in distant lands but in opening our eyes to see beauty everywhere—even when wearing the same socks for four days straight.

Tune in for a journey that will transform how you think about travel mishaps, cultural connection, and finding wonder in the most unexpected circumstances.

What happens when a medical researcher at Johns Hopkins receives powerful premonitions about global disasters? For Patricia Hawes, these visions led to an extraordinary awakening during Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, where a chance encounter with a spiritual teacher changed everything.

Today, Patti Hawse is a prophetic shamanic practitioner, and founder/producer of KarmaFest. KarmaFest is an annual festival for spiritual seekers in the mid-Atlantic. The last of 75 festivals is scheduled for June 28-29, 2025, in Havre de Grace, MD.

This episode explores Patti's spiritual awakening, teachings of her shaman mentor (Leotha Douglas), working with energies, the beginnings of KarmaFest, and what's next for Patti and the spiritual community she's cultivated over the last 20 years.

Details

Patricia recounts the fascinating story of how she transformed from a conventional career professional into the founder of Karma Fest, a metaphysical festival she's produced for 20 years. Before this radical shift, she experienced vivid premonitions of events like 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. Following her intuition to volunteer in Louisiana, she met Leotha Douglas – the man with amber eyes who had been appearing in her dreams asking "Where are you?"

During a yoga and meditation session in a Baptist church shelter, Patricia underwent a profound chakra clearing that sparked her spiritual journey. This catalytic moment led her to create Karma Fest, a gathering that embraces diverse spiritual modalities without pushing any single belief system. Through the festival, Patricia has witnessed countless transformations – including within her own family, as her daughter's life changed dramatically after receiving a reading at an early event.

Throughout our conversation, Patricia shares insights from her extensive exploration of spiritual practices – from shamanic journeying and Reiki to channeling and energy work. She explains how these experiences shaped her understanding of intuition, healing, and the connections between physical needs and spiritual awareness. Her refreshing approach embraces learning through direct experience rather than rigid doctrine.

As she prepares for her 75th and final Karma Fest this June, Patricia discusses her future plans – finishing her memoir, reviving a screenplay about Edgar Cayce, and developing retreat concepts that unite spiritual teachers. Her parting wisdom resonates powerfully: "We're so much more powerful than we think we are... you shouldn't dim yourself out of fear."

Join us for this enlightening conversation about following intuitive guidance, embracing spiritual awakening, and creating spaces where transformation can flourish. Ready to explore your own intuitive hits?

What happens when a deeply committed Baptist pastor with five biblical degrees begins to question everything he's been taught? Sun of Thunder's remarkable spiritual journey will challenge and inspire anyone who has ever felt constrained by religious dogma or wondered if there's more to divine connection than what traditional institutions offer.

Sun of Thunder is a gifted healer, clairvoyant and fledgling hoodoo practitioner who was ordained as a preacher of Free Will Baptist (FWB) church. Over time, FWB recognized Sun of Thunder's earnestness in religious educational pursuits, including reading interpretations of the Aramaic and Greek Bibles, and named him Christian Education Director for 27 churches. Eventual pushback on these pursuits coupled with the church's decisions to not aid the community when in dire need convinced Sun to walk a spiritual path away from FWB that better aligns with his truth about God and living in harmony with the world.

Details

Our guest takes us through the pivotal moments that transformed his spiritual path—from a near-fatal car accident where four mysterious hands pushed him back from certain death, to his rise as a respected pastor and Christian Education Director overseeing 27 churches. But beneath his successful ministry career, questions were brewing. Why weren't churches studying original biblical languages? Why did congregations refuse to help struggling neighbors during the housing crisis? And perhaps most troubling, why did spiritual experiences in nature feel more authentically divine than anything he experienced within church walls?

Sun of Thunder describes how a gentle breeze once provided profound healing during one of his darkest moments, and how this experience challenged everything he'd been taught about divine connection. "I received what I needed from nature itself and was able to go forward. So you can't tell me it's all about things in four walls," he explains. His journey eventually led him to explore ancestral veneration practices, creating space to honor those who loved him in life and continue to provide guidance beyond death.

The conversation delves into profound questions about power, control, and authentic spirituality. What happens when institutions position themselves as necessary intermediaries to God? How do we respectfully learn about diverse spiritual traditions without appropriation? And how do we find our own truth when it conflicts with established dogma?

If you've ever questioned your spiritual path or felt drawn to deeper connections with nature and ancestors, this episode offers both validation and inspiration. As Sun of Thunder reminds us, "There's a tribe for every single person. There's no such thing as truth until you decide what truth is for yourself."
