ep 68. Lilith and the inconvenience of liberation.
Liberation is supposed to feel good. Right? This episode highlights the story of Lilith and what it teaches women about the true cost of pursuing a life of liberation (a life that is truly hers), and the hidden cost of never pursuing that life at all.

ep 67. a beautiful life is erotic.
Creating a beautiful life requires surrendering to the depths and dimensionality of your life as it is now. Eroticism is the key that unlocks the magic, the juice, and the transformation that you're seeking, as it reconnects us back to the flow of the divine, the expansiveness within ourselves, and the magic that already exists for us to experience and work with. This episode explores what eroticism is (and what it's not) and how to utilize it to heal and transform our every day life.

ep 66. desire is uncomfortable and it will lead you to the life of your dreams.
Little girls brought up in a society that taught them to silence their desires end up growing into lives that don't reflect who they are and what they truly want. Learning to listen to our desires and honor them isn't just good for having better sex or indulging in pleasure, desire holds information that intuitively guides us to tiny choices that culminate into a life that is fully our own. This episode discusses desire as an intelligence, the information that it holds when we're deeply connected to our body, and how to practice utilizing it as a sacred tool to create a life that belongs to us, and break out of a life curated by the wants and projections of other people.

ep 65. sensuality, eros, and why it's necessary to transform your life.
Women's sensuality has been collectively repressed, disconnecting society from a core component to a whole, balanced life: Eros. This episode explores how society has fallen into an unhealthy imbalance of logocentric ways of being, losing sight of the true power of eros/feminine energy, and how reconnecting to eroticism and sensuality is the missing key for women to create real, lasting transformation. We go into what sensual energy truly is, how sensuality heals women's nervous system capacity, reawakens their life force, and deepens intimacy in all relationships, and simple practices for healing sensuality and reconnecting to the wisdom of Eros in daily life.

ep 64. women's desire is a weapon (the most important one we have)
This episode deconstructs how what has historically been demonized and weaponized against women (women's desire and feminine sensuality) is actually the most important weapon we have in our arsenal. We explore the magic and sacredness desire outside of a patriarchal lens, how suppressed desire is actually more destructive than having a healthy relationship with it, and what tapping into our divinely-led desires actually gives women: the power of choice within our own life (and our collective). This episode is a permission slip to tap into the power of our own desire and wield it.

ep 63. women's sensuality is about more than pleasure.
This episode reframes how we understand 'sensuality', outside the context of patriarchy, and within the context of understanding this human experience. Sensuality is not just about pleasure (though there's a reason why pleasure has been demonized in women for so long), it's also about safety, survival, and personal power. We discuss how a practice of sensualism lends itself to deeper intuition, stronger discernment, a greater capacity for self-governing, and how our ability to experience pleasure in all its forms isn't dirty--it's simply a sign that we are fully alive in this human experience. At the end of the episode there are simple practices that you can implement into your daily life to reawaken your sensuality, without requiring anything more than your body and your presence.

ep 62. the feminine isn't submissive, it's a force.
This episode is an admission: I was wrong about the feminine. From dissecting harmful mainstream narratives around what the 'divine feminine' is to uncovering the true depths of feminine energy as a force of nature, we're unpacking what you think you might know about this transcendent, powerful energy. We talk patriarchy, attempts to keep the feminine small, how true feminine energy is NOT submissive, and how tapping into the complex ferocity of the feminine can help you to reclaim your sovereignty, your voice, and your life.

ep 61. you're stalling again.
This episode of The Emotional Alchemist is a call to action: it's time to stop stalling your path forward by looking over your shoulder at what's no longer for you. If you've been having doubts about what you've decided to walk away from, let go of, and leave behind in life, this is your reminder: as the hero of your own story, you can't simply stop in the midst of so much progress and turn back. There's WAY more for you and your growth in the void than in the familiar, stagnant path you left behind.

ep 60. finding true alignment (and Spirit) in pursuit of relentless creativity.
This episode of The Emotional Alchemist is a passionate proclamation that creativity is one of the most important spiritual practices a woman can have if she seeks to come home to herself. We discuss what 'alignment' and the process of 'becoming' actually is, why many women along their healing journey *obsessively* seek out knowledge and tools to aid their evolution, and how creativity is not only a way to commune with Spirit, but it is also the only tool that may finally guide us to wholeness. If you are an artist, a creative, or a woman who deeply wants to reclaim her authentic, shameless, Whole Self, this episode is for you.

ep 59. when you 'get' self love but don't feel it. here's how.
In this episode of The Emotional Alchemist we're candidly talking about what the f*ck actually loving yourself means, how to hold deep compassion for yourself when faced with the messy, uncomfortable aspects of your pysche (in shadow work, in life, in relation to others), and how to tap into the unconditional love of your higher self on a truly embodied level. There's a quick spontaneous guided embodiment practice towards the end of the episode to show you exactly what FEELING self love (not just mentally trying to force yourself there) looks like.

ep 58. your favorite character growing up is a mirror for your growth. hear me out.
Archetypes that point to your next chapter, embodiment that actually makes sense in your healing practice, and a simplified way of combining the two to catapult your transformation. In this episode of The Emotional Alchemist, Isa breaks down what embodiment actually means and how to approach it step by step. We also get into archetypes (think the Villain, the Hero, the Lover, the Queen), how they show up in our daily life and the media we consume and love, and how the characters we tend to gravitate to are actually mirrors for who and what we have the capacity to shift into. Archetypal work and embodiment absolutely go hand in hand; at the end of the episode you'll be left with a simple exercise to do to help you with manifesting your future self using these tools.

ep 55. the purpose of people pleasing + how to stop for good.
There's a reason you've been people pleasing, and no–it's not as simple as wanting to make everyone happy.

ep 54. people pleasing women: it's time to start being a bitch.
A woman who knows who she is, what she wants (and what she absolutely doesn't want), and who isn't afraid to stand in her truth ten toes down ... will always be considered a b*tch by society. You've spent way too long allowing other people to dictate your life, how you show up in the world, and where your boundaries lie. If being labeled a b*tch means finally letting go of the 'nice girl' so that you can live a life that is fulfilling, healthy, and true, then so be it. Society accepts the maiden because she's easy to control. Thousands of years ago though, the Goddess was worshipped and deeply respected for the truth she carried in all her complexity. Would you rather be accepted by those who benefit from your smallness, or respected and truly loved by those who respect your truth? This episode from the podcast breaks down how we perceive strong women, why most of us feel safer staying small, and how you can create real transformation and finally step out of those damaging, people pleasing tendencies. 🐍 INNER BITCH: FREE 20 minute Dark Feminine Activation isabelrocio.com/reclaimyourinnerbitch For more content, meet me here: https://www.instagram.com/itsisarocio_ For deep support along your journey, meet me here: https://www.isabelrocio.com/energyhealingsessions
