Phoenix Rising with Melissa K. Range

What a joy to share this episode with you! My guest and priestess teacher, Courtney, and I could have talked for hours. I feel grateful she was finally able to join me as she has a busy schedule and is doing great things in the world. You will hear her Phoenix Rising story, how she has changed, not to mention the "walk-in" experience she shares with us, one she has not shared very far and wide! Her shift from over the years has caused her to investigate many avenues and become certified and practice so many healing arts and teaching modalities. My meeting her 5 years ago was of course no co-incidence, we are soul family and will continue to support and watch each other evolve in this lifetime. She is a very wise woman and she has some terrific insight for you listeners! She has been a tremendous teacher and powerful activator for me on my spiritual journey, including recently where she facilitated my Angelic 1 & 2 Reiki Training. I can't believe the profound changes I have experienced since working with her and her lovely heart. She is a true Divine Feminine Goddess and says circle is the most powerful tool she embodies in her life. Happy listening! Here is where you can find her: adivinejourney.as.mehttps://www.instagram.com/courtneyblaine_adivinejourney/https://www.facebook.com/courtneyblaineadivinejourney

I share my heart about surrender on this episode of the Phoenix Rising podcast. How often do we REALLY surrender our lives. I am becoming aware at a deeper level every day of why I am here, and it's not the typical reason everyone is indoctrinated to believe. How have I gotten to the place of peace I am in on this life journey? Surrender....hardest piece is giving up control and allowing your higher self, heart, subconscious, Spirit, whoever is leading the charge to do for you what you can't do for yourself! Or I should say your conscious mind is not able to do. As I let go of what does not serve me anymore, I step into new lessons, deeper healing, more love and light for myself and others. This is why we are here! So why does it take so long? Why are we unwilling to let go of control, to not be RIGHT, to listen to our intuition, or stop going to the hardware store for bread? Because we are afraid of the unknown or what people may think of us or how we look. Maybe we need to stop caring what others think and follow our own TRUTH and live in togetherness with ourselves. #surrender#idontneedtoberight#together#letgo

On this short and sweet episode, I challenge you to know yourself. How well do you know yourself? What makes you tick? In this day and age where duality tries to keep us separate, we can lose our power, our boundaries, and our sanity pretty rapidly if we allow it. When we know and trust ourselves and a Loving Force guiding us, we aren't as afraid to face the shadow, grief, or trauma that holds us back from the joyous all encompassing experience we are meant to have. We learn to discern what works for us, how we want to evolve, what changes we want to make, when to give ourselves grace, and how to hone our intuition. To me, these are foundational pieces of life we are not taught at a young age, maybe never taught or helped to remember our entire lives. We are taught to focus on material wants and desires, competition, education of unneeded information, separation, duality, or in other words, patriarchal beliefs. This is NOT how you come to know yourself. Nature and nurture are the tools of graceful evolution with support from Angels, guides, Ascended Masters, and our Loving Creator. 

On this episode Cindy shares her journey of rising from the ashes. As she took herself to church at a young age, it seems as though her spirituality was birthed young yet expanded as she grew and then experienced a tragic event with the moving on of her second husband. It was devastating for her and she began to find solace with Psych-K, and also then found the Harmonic Egg. She said she felt a lot of grief over this and the egg truly helped her transform herself, which now she uses to help others. She is a delightful soul and has not been on the awakened path for long but I definitely could not tell when I met her! When I met her at a networking event I knew I had to come and try the Harmonic Egg. In one session I feel so different and I can't wait for others to try it! It is so powerful. Here is some info and where to find Cindy: Cindy Pedrotty The Harmonic Egg StL 1365 Triad Center Drive St Peter’s Mo 63376 Cindy.harmony6@gmail.comHarmonicEggStL.com 636-866-8957 

On this episode I share how we all could benefit from asking for help. How many times do we get lost, or ungrounded or in a space where we feel totally and utterly alone? We isolate or we go numb with an addiction. The last two years have been so challenging and devastating for so many, why aren't more of us asking for help? I believe there is such a stigma in seeking or asking for help because we think it looks weak or makes us feel shame that we can't do it ourselves. We weren't meant to do the journey alone! We are here to support and uplift one another and even though I am not walking in your shoes, I can relate to your pain, or worry or sadness or even joy for that matter! We need to find more joy in this life, I even was reminded of this last week and will now be smiling at others more and more. Our hearts hold the key to this love we are and so the more whole we can become the more love we can remember lies within us and we can then radiate it out to the world! Asking for help is a part of that journey and I would encourage you to do so from Spirit, your guides, or another human you trust and know will listen and support you! 

This episode is all about the structures we are attached to.  How many structures do you think you are attached to? Think about the systems, institutions, and structures we have been indoctrinated to rely upon, to provide security and safety for us. What if you decided not to partake in them? What would your life look like? Are you willing to destroy that illusion and the space where you deny your independence and freedom? My life's journey has been about leaving behind a lot of these structures we have been taught yet only keep us enslaved and in denial of who we truly are. As I become wiser and more informed I can see how I don't want to be a part of something that does not necessarily have my best interest at heart. At times, or most times, this has been a hard and scary choice, yet always when I take the leap of faith it proves me right and I know I have made the best and highest choice for myself and my family. 

On this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with Jonita. Her Phoenix Rising story is quite fascinating, growing up in India, raised Christian, only to come into working with all the Goddesses who surrounded her as a child later in life after a crisis with the death of her father. I loved her synchronistic story and she said there are many! I am touched by the way she has embraced her Divine Feminine, and how she found and studied under a woman she met while working in London. She is an IT engineer turned Divine Feminine leader and I could have talked to her for hours! She has several certifications and leads workshops and retreats. One of the areas she loves to work with is the Shadow Goddess and that is definitely an area where our collective needs work. Check out her bio and website:Born in India, settled in England, Jonita D’souza is a Feminine Lifestylist, an Author and Creatress of Exploring Femininity Ltd., assisting modern day busy women who struggle with burn-out, overwhelm and body love to reconnect with their feminine and sensual energy using the ancient Taoist and Tantric arts, so that they can create a lifestyle that is fulfilling, nurturing and pleasurable. Jonita is also a certified Life Coach, NLP Practitioner, Master Hypnotherapist and combines the teachings of Indian feminine mysticism and shamanism in her work, facilitating monthly moon circles, online workshops and sacred feminine retreats.https://jonitadsouza.com/

On this episode I share my own experience of being in the present moment. I have found that preparing for a trip and then experiencing the trip puts me in the present moment and there's no place I'd rather be! When we are in the present, we become more in the flow of life and allow it to unfold as it needs to. It also appears as though life is one big miracle after another when I am in this state, and I my feathers do not get rustled, my patience soars, and anxiety subsides. I have been on many travel experiences(with my kids now too!) and the wiser I become and the more I up-level myself, I am finding these experiences to be wonderfully teachable and fun! Now to get this way in my regular daily activity all the time, well that is another story, yet of course more to be revealed! I have really let go of the past over the last few years, along with significant attachment to people, places, and things, and the future is untold so here I am reveling in the present moment. I am grateful. I chose this picture of my kids and I of a vacation to me that was miraculous in so many ways. I can't even begin to  describe how many ah ha's and miracles occurred. What a special time! 

Join me on the episode to hear Zofia's amazing Phoenix Rising journey. It was such a pleasure to hear her story and of course I felt as though I could resonate with so much! She is a brilliant soul with so much wisdom and compassion. I felt as though we could have conversed for hours and I am sure I will be connecting with her again soon. I love how she was introduced to "The Emotion Code" and her spiritual life began to emerge. I am grateful to have met her and check out more of her info below. ZofiaRennea Morales is an award-winning global strategist and former biophysicist. She had it all - a hi-powered career, loving husband, gorgeous properties, adventure, good friends, you name it. She was living the dream until her fast-paced life screeched to a halt and left her in pieces. Brought to the edge of death by undiagnosed chronic Lyme Disease, and was left bankrupt in every area of her life. Desperate for a miracle, Zofia cried her most heartfelt prayer "I will do anything to get better". This single prayer triggered an unanticipated kundalini awakening; a spiritual activation that unlocked Zofia’s gifts as an intuitive, healer, and mystic changing her life completely.ZofiaRennea Morales is now the host of the talk radio program Sovereign Self and the creator of the Conscious Enlightenment Process. As a transformation alchemist and teacher, she guides clients to find the gold within their most painful life transitions, helping people from all backgrounds notice how life wraps the best gifts in the shittiest wrapping paper. Zofia’s scientific and corporate background appeals to clients who appreciate the way she integrates a pragmatic woo and real-life into her work. Seasoned with love and laughter, Zofia guides her clients through their own spiritual crises and onto their paths of passion and purpose with warmth, joy, tenderness, and play.

On this quick episode I share with you what it means to BE, DO, HAVE versus what most of us live which is Do or Have before we Be. What do I mean by that? Well we come here to BE first. Live in the present, find out who we are and why we are here. If we could understand who we are, the Divine in the flesh, then we might have an easier time receiving what we are supposed to DO and then Have what we desire. Yet the majority of us go around doing like whirling dervishes or wanting to HAVE a very materialistic life without ever receiving the gifts and lessons of living in the present and understanding ourselves, or even loving ourselves for that matter. Last week, I enjoyed being in the preset moment each and every day and it was exactly what I needed after not having traveled much in the last 2 years! Travel opens up your senses and causes you to be more in the moment. I was not distracted with things at home and therefore my mind and soul got a rest. I am so grateful I could step out of my comfort zone, and go to a new place with new experiences for myself and my children. It was fabulous and I learned some new things about myself as well! The Universe supported me through it all and even though my son says I am so lucky, I know it is more being in the flow and receiving! 

On this episode, I get to know Amanda and her rise from the ashes. What a powerful story of finding her calling after being in law enforcement for many years! I can't believe how in alignment she and I are, and our paths seem so similar when it comes to the work we are doing in the world! I am so grateful she found me and I would encourage you to check out her work. The minute she began to talk about her recode work I related to it and know it's some powerful stuff! She has a podcast as well so please go and check it out:) Here is some info on her work and from her website: amandamonnier.com       I’m Amanda—I am here to bring more love, healing, + light to the world. We can do this by simply embodying it within ourselves + reminding others they have the power to do the same. It is my strongest desire to empower people and guide them back to remember their true essence. Answers come from within you.  I believe that life is meant to be fun and we are here to be powerful creators!I love guiding people to feeling better, re-discover their inner power + activating their intuition. I believe that there is no one size fits all for this type of transformational work, but I have learned many life-changing practices along my journey (my certifications/credentials are listed at the bottom of this page, but I’ve learned that being a student of life can not be quantified by those things).  

This episode expresses exactly where I am in my life right now! Are you ready to uplevel yourself? What pushes your edge? Where do you want to grow? Why does one stay in the same place doing the same things their whole life? Are you ready to try something new and different? When you begin taking those steps anxiety, fear and running the other way are some of my coping mechanisms! Yet I always push through and I ask Spirit for help or someone to hold me accountable to the dreams I dare bring to fruition. I chose this cover photo because during firewalk school we hung like bats from high up in the trees. It was so fun! I was always pushing my edge of sanity at firewalk school. As I set up my first firewalk, I am leaning into the fear and second guessing myself, yet I know the drill now and I will not allow negativity, fear or my unlimited potential limit what I know is my Truth! Carry on my fine friend and find your courage to up-level yourself! 

On this episode I get a little passionate about the deception that has been happening on our Earth for a while now. As I begin to see more and more of the lies, deception, and atrocities that have been hidden from us and the tyrannical laws, ridiculous mandates and freedoms being revoked, I am ascending deeper into my heart space, grateful there are more and more of us waking up. I get bombarded with backlash about the disbelief or denial that anyone or anything would purposely be out to there to harm us, yet when you start to thin the veil, you begin to see more of truth and sometimes, there is negative energy that does not have your best interest at heart. We don't want to destroy our illusion or have to face the shadow within ourselves or in our world because that would force us to make a change. Yet Truth will always win because that is the way the Universe works. Lucky for us we get to make choices about how we live our lives and we do have to find the energy of the Phoenix to move forward and do something different not only for ourselves, yet for the new Earth we want to create and see. Karma, cause and effect is real. I want to come back here with a clean slate. What do you want? As I heard today, Let there be Light. 

Join me on my latest episode to get to know Elaine and her rise from the ashes. She has so much wisdom to share with us and is a multi-talented healer and creator. We did not even get to talk about half of what she does and who she helps! Her wisdom is incredible and so are her hands when it comes to reflexology. I love her story of rising from the ashes and we need to do another podcast to speak about all the serendipitous moments she has experienced. I was meant to met her and  we continue to learn more about each other on this journey! Here is her website: https://stlouisreflexology-reiki.com/

What a joy to be with Monica on this episode as she tells us her tale of rising from the ashes. She had quite a successful business serving some famous people, was featured in InStyle Magazine and on some popular news channels, until it all fell apart, and she ended up in bed for 9 months! In that time she had a dark night of the soul which then caused her to Rise up and begin her journey to where she is today. Her mom and dad's story is amazing too! She has her own podcast as well which I encourage you to check out. https://jointherevelation.com/She and I are so much alike and even though she was a stranger, I feel like our paths have crossed before in other lifetimes and I am so grateful she found me! We could have talked for hours on this episode. Her priestess energy is evident and her work in the world is phenomenal. Bringing an infectious warmth and playful levity wherever she goes, Monica Rodgers is a tireless advocate for the full actualization of women, inspiring women everywhere that saying “YES to the MESS” is the missing link to self-love and personal awakening. Through her podcast and group coaching programs, Monica guides women through their inner (r)evolution, from trance to transcendence, revealing the toxic myths of social conditioning and self-doubt in order to illuminate the magic and magnificence of our imperfect selves.  She believes that women can take action towards realizing our true potential only when we stop proving and striving to be who everyone wants us to be. When we reveal the truth of who we are, we return to our “original design” and with the practice of self love and compassion, we become aligned, opening the portal into our divine purpose where true prosperity dwells. There has never been a more important time for women to reveal the truth of who we are as a catalyst for positive change in the world as the Divine Feminine returns. 

Join me on this episode as I describe my journey of self-worth and money. It's been a long and arduous process to have a relationship with money. Yet our relationship with money is important because it helps us get our basic needs met. I think most of us are not raised with positive loving beliefs about moneys ability to work for us and with us. We are not taught in school anything but to work hard for the money. It is an energy and an emotion misunderstood. A lot of us live in lack and scarcity mode with money instead of building a positive secure relationship with it. The Universe is an abundant place and we don't have to work our fingers to the bone for it. We do need to provide something for the good of humanity in return for our money yet we also need to understand it's purpose and that it's not the end all be all of life. Our net-worth does not equal our self-worth. We are human beings first and our value is not based on a number even though that is what we are taught and shown from birth. 

On this episode we get to hear all about Stephanie's Phoenix Rising story! It's a good one and she shares some very powerful insight into her life as a former drug addict and her relationship struggles. She has come a very very long way to become healthy and happy and she is a joy to be around! I love how vulnerable she is willing to be as it is an example of how others can truly heal from traumatic events. She now is in service to women using her Reiki and Intuitive skills among many other gifts. We are so similar and are very excited to be planning a firewalk at her property in the coming months!  Stephanie is Certified in NLP Coaching , Theta Healing  practitioner, and a Holy Fire lll Karuna Reiki Master. She has  been recovered from substance abuse for 10 years and living a  life of sobriety and freedom today. Her vigor, passion, and  strength are infectious as is her desire to support women  recovering from co-dependency, substance abuse, and trauma.  Guiding them on a path to recover and feel whole and at  peace. She has faced many challenges in her life. The  aftermath of addiction and healing with family , depression,  grief and a lack of self-love. Through her dark night of the  soul and spiritual awakening she became a better version of  herself, she chose to grow emotionally and spiritually through  12 steps of recovery, healing trauma through body work, and  has explored many self development trainings to support her  on the path to healing. Her journey of self- discovery has led  her to the awakening that her purpose is to give away what  she has received. To share a message of Hope that YOU too  can recover your heart, heal, and grow abundantly. Stephanie  offers , Coaching, Reiki healing and Theta healing, in person  or online with an added element of sound healing. Her  Discovery Sessions are to hold space on your journey in  exploration of rediscovering your TRUE sense of self.  Favorite Quote-"Our deepest fear is not that we are  inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond  measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens  us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a  child of God.” Marianne Williamson 

In this NEW YEAR episode I touch on your unlimited potential. So many of us have truly forgotten who we are and why we are here. We are living in fear and scarcity mode, because we were trained that way and have been for 100's of years, thereby forgetting our true nature. This year is the year we will begin to awaken even more to our Divine Nature and all our power! Join me in RISING from the ashes and begin to RE-Member your heart and it's connection to Divinity. We have a lot of work to do on this earth and the time is NOW! #livefromyourheart#Divinenature#thetimeisnow

Hello Phoenixes! I hope you enjoyed the Winter Solstice this year! Big transformations we are going through right now. How did you celebrate? The sun is now back on its track to bring more light in. I walked through some more of my shadow and know each year as we reach the winter solstice, I am ready to release more of my ego or my darkness to the light. There are so many ways to celebrate the winter solstice and I hope through listening to this podcast you will either have done one, several or put them on your list for next year! Enjoy your holidays! 

On this episode we learn about Angie and her rising from the Ashes! She shares with us her own personal transformation, through her divorce, the loss of her child and how she is now in service to others using her own experience. My own AH-HA came through while she was speaking about the root chakra and it caused me to uncover another piece of myself to honor and work through. Angie and I have many common threads and it was a joy and pleasure to welcome her and see her heart on this episode! Please see her bio below:Angie Monko is the owner of Harmony Harbor Coaching and a Conscious Women’s Divorce Coach. She guides women to heal from divorce and help their kids through it, so they can move forward stronger and happier into their next chapter.Angie was a good person, but she didn't know how to advocate for her or her child when going through divorce. Not knowing what to expect, she felt insecure, scared, timid, unworthy and undeserving, and the worst possible thing happened.Her two-year old daughter, Maddie, paid the ultimate price.  She was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at birth. The emotional challenges resulting from the divorce and being put in the middle of her parents’ bitter love triangle significantly impacted her health.Maddie transitioned in 2018 when she was only 22. Angie believes that had she and her ex been able to consciously co-parent, it would have significantly reduced the stress and negative impact on Maddie. With greater feelings of self-worth, she would have been more resilient and able to manage her illness.The negative impact of divorce on young children is very common.  They have a 25-30% greater chance of depression, anxiety, declining grades, drug and alcohol abuse, and self-defeating behaviors such as acting out with anger and failure to thrive. The long-term mental and emotional effects of divorce remain with children, often a minimum of two decades and even for a lifetime.After Angie’s painful divorce experience, she vowed to help as many women and children as possible to avoid what she experienced. Angie created Harmony Harbor Coaching as a sacred, safe container for women going through divorce or loss to heal, get support and confidently move forward as a Loving Self-Advocate, where they learn to honor, respect and be patient with all parts of themselves, especially the hurt, traumatized inner child.Angie’s mission is to create a thriving community of women who have each other’s back and show up without the metaphorical mask, where deep friendships, honest communication, true support, love and collaborations abound. By creating this safe space of support in her workshops, retreats, private coaching and online programs, women better communicate their needs and manage their energy, thus creating harmony and connection within themselves. The effects are felt as a ripple effect which spreads to their family unit, out to their communities and around the world, bringing more compassion, empathy, love and unity to how people relate to one another.Under Angie’s guidance, women have become healthy and vital role models for their children, family, friends and all they influence. By being true to themselves, they became empowered and feel lovable and supported, thus breaking the chains of the past and fully stepping into their power. Angie has owned Harmony Harbor Coaching since 2008, with certifications in Emotional Freedom Technique, Hypnosis and The Healing Codes, as well as being well-versed in energy medicine, all techniques designed to re-program our thinking and heal our heart so we can take actions that feel right to our very core.
