Bringing Dreams Into Reality with Kristen Wolf

An open mind that releases all assumptions is the pathway to a diversity of ideas. Science, spirituality, gender identity, queerness, human evolution- this episode delves into all of these topics and beyond, allowing us to drop preconceived notions about what we think we know. We welcome you to a profoundly unique discussion that explores the depths of a Pisces and Gemini mind that award-winning author, filmmaker, and producer Kristen Wolf embodies.  Tune in as Debra and Kristen discuss how they create new realities by seeing the world through the eyes of an explorer, and offer permission to all people to open themselves up to the endless possibilities on this planet.

Her first novel, The Way, beautifully explores gender identity and divinity in a compelling way, with a twist that will blow the minds of readers and critics. It’s a novel that got the attention of O Magazine, which recommended The Way as a “title to pick up now.” Kristen’s second novel, The Escapement, has also won multiple awards and numerous accolades from readers and writers alike.

The Power to Choose Who We Are with Jill Bolte Taylor

If you’re looking for a shot of energy, take a listen to this electric podcast episode with Jill Bolte Taylor, neuroscientist and author of My Stroke of Insight and Whole Brain Living.  We hope you enjoy this episode and let it energize you- it’s better than espresso!   Jill’s background in neuroscience was her gateway to spirituality, she reveals, after she had a stroke and spent some time living in her right brain. According to Jill, the “old her” died after the stroke and she was reborn into the person she is now. Thus, Jill has two Astrology charts, her original birth chart, where she has Sun in Taurus, and her rebirth chart which boasts a Sun in Sagittarius! What a difference! Tune in to hear Debra and Jill explore the dynamics of both charts in this episode which is such a unique perspective.    Jill explains her major life moments as “tsunamis” and how these profound experiences allowed her frequency to become “regulated for love.” After Jill’s first-to-go-viral TED Talk in 2008, she became an international speaking sensation and proceeded to work on her next book about “whole brain living.” Whole brain living defines the four parts of our brain that act as the control center, and demonstrates how to balance them for maximum happiness. Character 1 goes to work, Character 2 keeps us safe, Character 3 likes to play and have fun, Character 4 connects us with greater purpose. Keep these characters in mind while you listen to this episode.   Turning on the Observer, as Debra teaches, allows one to be able to pull back and see their four characters; to choose who to be and how to respond. As Jill says throughout the episode, we have the power to choose who and how we want to be in each moment. Astrology and the four elements beautifully mirror the whole brain and the four characters.    This is a story that couldn’t possibly fit in the allotted time, but Debra and Jill pack a punch of wisdom into this episode. It’s a don’t miss for anyone seeking confirmation of their varied, unique selves or those looking for a funny, profoundly inspirational listening experience that has a message of universal love!   Key Highlights From The Episode What we are all here to do in this lifetime and how it’s our super power How we are hardwired for fear and attraction to each other Understanding whole brain living and our four characters The power of water, osmosis, and how science and spirituality are entwined  Our ultimate purpose in life Timestamps [1:10] Intro of Jill Bolte Taylor [1:25] An energetic explosion of the brain [1:38] What it’s like to have Moon in Aries [2:06] Jill tells her backstory, from her stroke until now  [2:40] Debra gives the Astrological version of Jill’s bio [2:54] An alternate point of view that scientists would have never considered before Jill’s books came out  [3:48] Whole brain living describes the four personalities or characters in your Brain  [4:11] Jill explains the four characters/personalities or selves in our brains [5:45] Debra discusses Jill’s charts - her birth chart vs. her rebirth chart post-stroke [7:55] What would your alternate ego be if you weren’t a neuroscientist?  [10:10] Our #1 job in life is to love one another, period. [11:01] The brain is programmed with divine influence but with a design flaw that limits us [12:09] The amygdala controls our decisions with fear and curiosity, one part attracts while the other repels  [13:13] Consciously choosing to find the connection with someone before determining the differences [13:45] We have the power to choose, moment by moment, who and how we want to be in the world [14:29] What was going on before Jill’s stroke [16:10] The rebirth of Jill [17:15] The chart of what happened the day of Jill’s stroke [18:27] Putting science and spirituality in the same brain [18:45] Whole brain living was the reason Jill survived [20:00] In every relationship, we have eight characters (four for you, four for the other)  [20:58] Debra parallels the Observer to the four selves [23:40] Unhappiness is a character on a loop [24:50] Debra asks her students to vote on if Jill feels more like her original birth chart or her rebirth chart [25:31] How Jill’s personality and motivations have changed since the stroke [26:30] Water is sanity and Jill’s life on a riverboat [27:56] Who Jill would sit with living or dead that she’d want to have a conversation with [28:58] Debra’s favorite story in Jill’s book, My Stroke of Insight [30:52] Musings of Venus in Gemini  [32:04] Eternal optimism, people are realizing they have so much power over their own fears [32:43] It is our hero’s journey to love one another and to be that goodness in the world [33:10] How we as humans are missing meaning [34:24] How can we help people shut down the mean part of the amygdala to turn on the love [37:35] Deb does a prayer of gratitude with Jill, inspired to help us use our whole brains [39:27] The world of Astrology through a scientific perspective [41:48] We all have the super power of love

Climate change poses a huge threat to economies, compels death and various diseases, and prompts conflict between peoples as one geopolitical issue would be able to affect food security. Due to these grim forecasts, many countries around the world have come together to try and find ways to fight against climate change.   Five indications that climate change is real:   1) The climate change phenomenon will speed up the production and disappearance of air pollutants, increase the number of allergies, and affect people's metabolisms. 2) Major crops, such as beans and corn, will experience and endure a significant decrease in growth rates due to scarce water availability. 3) Ocean life threatened. Coral reefs are drowned by sea-level rise and no longer get sunlight on their smaller, lower parts. 4) Heat waves in many regions have influenced mortality rates concurrent with climate change. 5) Nepal has already been severely affected by hotter days, leading to more food scarcity, unemployment, and lost income.   Earth belongs to all species on planet, and humans cannot think we own it. Human’s dominance of the earth and climate change are affecting the planet's balance. Humans have changed the climate by burning fossil fuels, industrialising forests, breeding greenhouse gases from exhausts, etc.   We're joined by Jeff, an environmentalist, film maker, and climate change activist, to talk about how the world is changing due to the climate crisis the world faces and how we can take immediate action to start to reverse the effects of the changing climate.   00:00 Introduction 2:13 Jeff's chart: Sun - Aquarious, Moon - virgo, raising - gemini 3:07 Climate change: Acting on objective rational data 5:41 Can we reverse the effects of climate change? 11:48 What systems do we need in place to manage the climate crisis 16:32 Our Earth needs time to heal 19:15 What can we do to change the trajectory of the climate crisis 27:12 What will it take to leave less of an impact on the environment 34:29 What's next for Jeff? 37:43 What is our ost vulnerable resource 50:09 Closing thoughts   Connect with Jeff Orlowski:   Website: http://www.jefforlowski.com/ IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2341611/   Connect Debra Silverman:   Website: https://debrasilvermanastrology.com/life-changing-transformations/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debrasilverman_astrology/?hl=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/eleventhhouse YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/silvermanastrology TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@debrasilvermanastrology

Double Pisces, Marijuana and Love With Tommy Chong

Pisces men and women are emotional water signs. They easily feel suppressed, not just towards themselves but others too. It is because they are mega empathetic. They have this ability to identify with others' feelings and pain due to their dealings with their own emotional sensitivity.   Just like any sign, the quirkiness of a Pisces is no exception. They can be quite secretive, hard to control, and restless. One might say that they have built-in-rebellion in them, which allows them to have an inner thirst for freedom, life experiences, and something new.   If ever met with negative energy or draining interactions, it is best for him/her to set bounderies to generate a positive energy boost.   We are joined on this episode by Tommy Chong. As half of the famed comic team Cheech & Chong, Grammy Award-winning comedian Tommy Chong is legendary for his significant contribution to American counter-culture. The twosome recorded six gold comedy albums during their reign, including the Grammy-winning "Los Cochinos" in 1973, and acted in eight films, the majority of which Chong co-wrote and directed. Up In Smoke, the first, was the highest-grossing comedy of 1978, collecting more than $100 million. The Corsican Brothers, Cheech and Chong's Next Movie (1980), Nice Dreams (1981), Things Are Tough All Over (1982), Cheech and Chong: Still Smoking (1983), and Cheech and Chong: Still Smoking (1983) were among the others (1984).   1:31 Tommy's double pisces and its meaning 5:10 Some of Tommy's childhood memories and early influences 8:21 Reading Tommy's chart 9:38 Tommy's memories from the home 15:32 What was marijuana's contribution for the colective? 20:00 Tommy and Shelby's love story 24:39 What dead person would Tommy like to talk to 28:27 Double pisces and how it deals with fear 34:20 Tommy Chong's bottom liner: a message for the collective   Connect with Tommy Chong:   Website https://www.cheechandchong.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heytommychong/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/tommychong   Connect Debra Silverman:   Website: https://debrasilvermanastrology.com/life-changing-transformations/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debrasilverman_astrology/?hl=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/eleventhhouse YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/silvermanastrology TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@debrasilvermanastrology

How To Walk The Path Of The Mystic with Paul Selig

How to walk the path of the mystic and tune into higher knowledge. Podcast guest Paul Selig says he has no advice for our listeners, yet his presence and his life’s work shows us the importance of opening ourselves up to a higher power.    Paul Selig is one of the foremost contributors to the field of channeled literature, after a spiritual experience in 1987 left him clairvoyant. He attended New York University and earned a master’s from Yale. He is the author of Beyond the Known: Realization and The Book of Innocence.    As a double Scorpio personality with a prevalent Virgo energy in his chart, the richness and depth of Paul’s work and his loyalty to the purity of his path is impressive. Paul takes Debra through his journey to walking the path of the mystic, which admittedly began with resistance and a skeptic eye towards mysticism and his lifestyle was not in alignment with that path. Paul then experienced a series of events which led him to this new path, which would change the course of his life entirely.    Paul also shares about his first Astrological experience and as Debra walks through components of his chart, Paul connects them to avenues and events within his life.
