In this profound conversation, I welcome back renowned chakra expert and visionary Anodea Judith to discuss humanity's great transition and women's leadership in these challenging times.

Anodea shares her wisdom on how we're experiencing a massive global upheaval – an initiation into a new era where we're shifting from an organizing principle based on "the love of power" to one centered on "the power of love."

Anodea explains how this represents a gravitational shift from a third-chakra dominated culture of ego, power and masculine dominance to a heart-centered approach that balances masculine and feminine energies. We explore why women have struggled to break through leadership "glass ceilings" and how feminine leadership archetypes differ fundamentally from traditional military-based models.

Key highlights include:

-How periods of collapse and uncertainty create openings for new leadership models -The importance of creating something better rather than simply fighting what exists

-Anodea's "She Rises" oracle deck featuring forgotten feminine leadership archetypes

-The critical importance of the lower chakras for grounding and transformation

-How our cultural divorce between spirit and matter has created environmental, economic and health crises

-The necessity of facing and transforming our core fears, guilt and shame

-Why women need to gather with other women to remember and fortify their authentic selves

This conversation offers powerful insights for anyone seeking to understand our current global challenges through a spiritual lens while offering practical wisdom for personal and collective transformation. Anodea's balanced perspective helps us see how we can each contribute to creating "heaven on earth" by embracing both our masculine and feminine energies.

This week, I spoke with relationship expert Lisa Merlo-Booth about transforming how we communicate in our relationships. Lisa shared powerful insights about creating "uncompromising safety" as the foundation for meaningful connection, whether at home or work. She explained how traditional relationship paradigms rooted in hierarchy and power dynamics harm everyone involved, and offered practical strategies for communicating "cleanly" without contempt, even during difficult conversations.

Lisa's approach to tackling defensiveness has been transformative in my own life, helping me recognize when I shut down communication and teaching me to respond rather than react. If you're finding your relationships stuck in patterns of defensiveness, blame, or disconnection, this episode provides concrete tools to break those cycles and create more authentic connections.

In this inspiring conversation, Leisa Peterson interviews Sarah Barry, author of "9 Habits of Happy Retirees," about redefining what retirement means in today's world. Sarah, an Australian-accented global citizen currently living in Dubai, brings a unique perspective to retirement planning that goes far beyond financial considerations.

The discussion reveals how retirement has evolved from being a simple period of rest to becoming an opportunity for personal growth, adventure, and reinvention. Through compelling stories, including a former banking executive who found joy working at a dog shelter and a couple navigating the challenges of shared retirement, Sarah illustrates how successful retirees adapt to this major life transition.

What makes this episode particularly intriguing is the exploration of why some people resist retirement despite having sufficient funds – often due to fears about losing their identity and purpose. Sarah shares insights about key habits that contribute to retirement happiness, including lifelong learning, volunteering, maintaining health, and practicing gratitude.

Leisa adds depth to the conversation by sharing her own experience with a temporary retirement during her husband's illness, offering listeners a relatable perspective on the emotional challenges of stepping away from work. Their discussion challenges the "more is better" mindset and encourages listeners to consider whether they might be ready for retirement sooner than they think.

The episode offers valuable insights for anyone thinking about retirement, whether they're in their 30s or 70s. Sarah's approach emphasizes flexibility, personal growth, and the importance of viewing retirement not as an ending, but as the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
