“Never Broken: How to Transmute Pain, Cure Your Anxiety, and Discover Your Soul's Voice."  [LAST DAY]

Getting Jewel to say yes to being a part of Matriarch Collective was definitely an exciting moment. How I pulled that off is a story for another day :)

Jewel is a 4 times grammy award nominated singer songwriter, producer, actress, New York times bestselling author, poet, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. I would also add that she is a spiritual teacher and a really great mom. Jewel grew up in Alaska, her mom left when she was 8, Jewel left home at 15, was homeless at 18, and just 3 years later, at 21, her album Pieces of You sold 12 mil records, declared as one of the biggest debuts of all time. At 23 she was on the cover of Time Magazine. Jewel humbly attributes her success to building a career in community, not music.

Talking to Jewel was as magical as I thought it would be, if not more. She drops absolute gold nuggets of wisdom non-stop for the entire hour, so I suggest you settle in with a nice cup of tea and a journal.

In this beautiful conversation, Jewel shares what she learnt from watching people in pain while singing in bars with her father from the time she was 8; how one quote became the greatest gift and helped her turn her life around, one thought at a time; the story of the golden statue; how to teach mindfulness, meditation, and emotional intelligence to your kids; the feminine ways of doing business, why she’s not a fan of affirmations, and how to be the artist of your life. Jewel also reminds us what is the real source of anxiety in our lives, what is the only coping mechanism that actually works, and how she ‘accidentally’ discovered what made anxiety disappear. And really, there is so much more.

At the time of this recording, she’s about to release her newest book with a foreword by Echart Tolle, and a new album, which addresses the gap between where culture is and what we’re seeing reflected back to us in the media and arts.

Songlines by Jewel, our wonderful sponsor, created a limited edition collection specifically for Matriarch and graciously extended a discount code for all the women in Matriarch Collective.

BONUS: “How One Family Business Accidentally Discovered a Way to Triple Customer Response Rates with ... a Virtual Equivalent of a Handwritten Note."  [LAST DAY]

Amy Habib joins us from her apartment in the UK during the lockdown of coronavirus madness, and we have such a beautiful conversation about the importance of connecting face to face online and doing business creatively as female entrepreneurs in a way that really sets us apart in this competitive world.

Bonjoro is the world's first 'customer delight' platform to help entrepreneurs build real relationships with our customers, at scale. It was originally developed as a customer success hack for their last business; and they realized that overnight, Bonjoro tripled their response rates in comparison to automated emails. What is it? Basically, it’s the modern equivalent of a handwritten note.

You’ll find out what makes Amy a CDO (chief delight officer), why building personal relationships is the most important thing to focus on, no matter what marketing strategies you’re using, how to create marketing funnels that convert like crazy, and you get to see what happens when I find out you have a purple bear onesie in your closet, during an interview.

We’re proud affiliates for Bonjoro, so as a member of Matriarch Collective, we have something special for you. And if you purchased the Premium Pass, you’ll find the incredible 37-page Video Funnel Playbook in your bonus section, and inside the Matriarch membership, you’ll get a chance to learn exactly how I’ve been using this platform to delight and love on my tribe, to nurture relationships, build hype, build momentum, and do business in a more 'feminine' way.

"The Great Quickening, Ancestral Communication, and Overcoming Historical Trauma with Plant, Food and Sex Medicine."  [DAY 7]

Yaya Erin Rivera Merriman is an Esoteric Women’s Health Practitioner, Plant Spirit Medicine Guide, Priestess, Oracle, Artist, and Mother. She has taught art to Brooklyn teens, led women’s ceremonial circles and organized retreats with indigenous teachers.

Yaya is the founder of Active Culture Family, a mycelial network of sacred humans devoted to exploring relationship as a pathway to responsible, creative, liberated way of being.

This community is like a basket that holds together their physical gathering space in San Diego, their Medicine Mandala Green Magic Apprenticeship, and her podcast Star Seed Survival Guide. 

Yaya strongly beliefs in the necessity of hybrid medicine to meet the unique challenges of modern life, so she’s engaged in the continued study of Plant Medicine, Active Dreaming, and Goddess Traditions from around the world.

In this intensely illuminating, and often mouth-watering conversation, Yaya shares channeled wisdom from Spirits involving Bjork, how to activate the simple sacred technology of sitting in circle as women, how living in time of Kali Yuga is asking us to become ‘baby crones,’ how our human bodies are designed to respond to rhythm; we also talk about the many ways to communicate with our ancestors, and how there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to have a really delicious treat every day that has nothing in it that’s bad for you.

We also talked about business - the importance of taking care of our nervous systems so we can actually handle feedback; and that even though it’s uncomfortable, we need to have long educational conversations about money, reciprocity and exchange.

If you’ve purchased the PREMIUM ACCESS PASS, please enjoy Yaya’s pdf Medicine Mandala Wellness Guide, 11 ancestral (and common-sense) practices to stay well.

Fair warning - this conversation may make your mouth water or catapult you in another dimension.

"Lessons from Teaching 10,000 Hours of the Most Advanced Sexual Education on the Planet."  [DAY 6]

Layla Martin, also known as “The Headmistress of Pleasure,” is the founder of the Tantric Institute of Integrated Sexuality and has shared her work with over 79 million people.

Her programs have taught over 6,000 women, men, and non-binary people her unique process of using breath, sound, movement, meditation, and energy awareness to awaken the most transcendent sexual experiences of your entire life.

Layla has spent over 10,000 hours teaching amazing people like you & I how to experience epic sex and legendary love. She’s also a hardcore science nerd who is madly in love with all things mystical.

We’re about to learn how pleasurable and ecstatic states can initiate deep healing from trauma, what makes us as women feel safe, why our bodies are designed for pleasure, why having a pleasure practice is so important for our nervous system, how we can begin to wake up from (and dismantle) patriarchy, how to breathe from your pussy, and finally, feel self-love. Layla shared a deeply personal story of how she transformed sexual trauma into a sexual awakening … and became the Wild Woman that she knows all of us can be.

We don’t end there - I also got Layla to share some powerful business wisdom! She tells us how ONE THING that a photographer said to her at a photoshoot helped her claim her unique signature, why you should fall in love with sales and money, start an email list, and more.

If you’ve purchased the PREMIUM ACCESS PASS, please don’t miss Layla’s BONUS MASTERCLASS: she teaches 3 revolutionary practices to elevate your life and unleash your brilliant light on the world. It’s a 1-hour class full of mind-blowing practical guidance: why positive affirmations and talk therapy don’t work as well, how to literally create confidence in your body, what specifically a woman needs to create the state of the wild self? And so much more. Be ready to take so many notes and possibly weep in recognition of your own goddess power!   @laylamartin  |  laylamartin.com

"The Wisdom of Children: How to Recover Your Innate Creativity Through the Power of Story."  [DAY 6]

Justine Curran is a Sydney-based artist specializing in documentary family photography. 

This is such a rich conversation because Justine & I dance at the crossroads of conscious parenting, business, photography, meaningful human connection, and life as art.

Justine’s passion for capturing the essence and wisdom of children is no coincidence. She emerged from her own childhood with a deep sense of disconnection, but found healing after much inner work and after studying the impact that our family dynamics can have on our development. It’s from this place that she creates playful, emotive and nostalgic works of art.

In this Talk, we recalled some of Justine’s most impactful photographs — pretending to be Bagheera from The Jungle Book just to get a little boy to engage with her camera, capturing candid moments between two daughters and their terminally ill mother, and an award-winning black & white image of a mother’s breast and her newborn.

We also talk about the damaging effects of authoritarian parenting, what ‘disconnection’ is costing us personally, and what it’s costing as a society,  how we can encourage unapologetic wonder and self-expression not only in our children, but in ourselves.

Justine & I also gush over the two trainings that have changed our lives and transformed our businesses: they are the Business as an Artform program and KINDRÊD meditation. If you purchased the PREMIUM ACCESS PASS you’ll get a chance to learn about both of these in our Virtual Village and Mastermind Membership.  @justinecurran_photography 

"Clearing Money Blocks for Creatives, Healers & Spiritual Entrepreneurs."  [DAY 5]

Polly Alexandre never intended to be a coach, but it was as if the Universe dragged her, kicking and screaming, into a journey through loss, abundance, extraordinary lessons and synchronicities that will make your head spin.

She blends unique transformational coaching and intuitive healing abilities with 15 years experience as an entrepreneur to bring you cutting edge programs like Money Beautifully and Abundance Accellerator, which Matrîarch Collective is a proud affiliate of.

Polly has overcome decades of self-limiting beliefs and negative patterns about money, and as far as ‘transformational coaches’ go, Polly really walks her talk.

We’re about to hear her shocking and inspiring personal story how the Universe stripped everything away so she could up level, how Polly connects to the Akashic field, why going to a shaman on your honeymoon may not be a great idea, how we can begin to heal our ancestral poverty stories, how her first $50 coaching client came back to invest $15K more, the wisdom of ‘delivering less,’ the work around ‘not enough,’ a simple way to release patterns that don’t serve us, and an uplifting story of how Polly manifested her dream home in Ibiza.

It’s time. It’s time to get over your fears so you can take action, be visible, attract more clients, make more money, and most importantly, bring in a new way of being for women!

If you’ve purchased the Premium Access Pass, do not miss Polly’s AMAZING BONUS: it’s a guided audio meditation “Past Life Patterns of Poverty.” I had such a powerful experience with it, you’ll hear all about it in this Talk. It’s really special because Polly channels this wisdom and it’s unlike anything I’ve done. If you enjoy it, I highly recommend checking out the Abundance Accelerator 14-day guided experience, we’ll make sure to link it up.
