    The Trickster Archetype , Disillusionment and The Second Awakening

    Certainty is intoxicating, especially after a big awakening. Then the rug pulls out: a trusted teacher gets exposed, a “destined” relationship reveals its shadow, or a movement you thought was truth starts acting like the very system it resisted. I’m Alyssa, and I’m naming the force behind that pattern: the trickster archetype, the boundary crosser known as Hermes, Loki, and Ichtomi, who shows up wherever we’ve become unconscious, inflated, or rigid.

    I walk through Carl Jung’s framing of the trickster as the psyche’s self-correcting mechanism and why it’s rising so loudly right now in spiritual communities, wellness and ascension spaces, conspiracy frameworks, and even UFO disclosure narratives. We talk about how counterculture can quietly become groupthink, how pedestals get built and then pulled apart, and why that collapse can feel like betrayal even when it’s also a call back to humility and truth.

    From there, we get practical: what to do when your nervous system wants to grab a new ideology, why “switching sides” doesn’t solve the deeper pattern, and how holding paradox becomes the doorway to the second awakening. We explore shadow work, projection, attachment, and somatic healing as essential tools for real discernment, not paranoia. If you’re ready to stop outsourcing authority and start living from embodied clarity, press play, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.

    The Three Spiritual Tests You Must Pass Right Before You Uplevel

    Right before things finally open, life can feel like it is doing the exact opposite of what you asked for. That is not “bad luck” or the universe punishing you, it can be your psyche applying pressure to expose what still needs to be integrated so you can actually hold the upgrade you say you want.

    We explore three major tests that often arrive before a breakthrough on the spiritual awakening and individuation path, inspired by Jungian psychology and grounded in embodiment. We start with shadow confrontation and the golden shadow, how triggers, projections, envy, and even the inability to receive compliments can reveal the parts of you that were exiled for safety. From there we move into the tension of opposites, where you cannot stay identified with only one pole like strong or good or spiritual, and you learn to sustain the tension long enough for something new and more whole to emerge.

    Then we get honest about synchronicity. Real meaningful coincidence tends to be weighted and humbling, and it asks something of you. False synchronicity inflates the ego and feeds specialness, confirmation bias, and spiritual narcissism. I share practical tools that bring it all into daily life: a shadow inventory practice, somatic integration in the body, active imagination, and simple dreamwork that builds a real relationship with the unconscious over time.

    If you are ready for depth, not fluff, press play, share this with a friend on the path, and leave a review so more people can find Body Wisdom Rising.

    A New 7 Year Cycle Has Begun— Uranus Enters Gemini

    The pace is speeding up, and you can feel it in your mind, your body, and the collective field. Uranus has entered Gemini, kicking off a long, intense cycle of accelerated communication, rapid technological change, and truth moving faster than many of us can integrate. I share why this transit matters, how it differs from the slower friction of Uranus in Taurus, and why “lightning meeting lightning” can feel exhilarating one moment and unsettling the next.

    I also unpack the difference between predictive astrology and evolutionary astrology. Rather than treating transits like fixed fate, we explore them as invitations for soul evolution and free will. The same disruption can crack you open or overwhelm you, depending on your resourcing, your inner work, and your ability to stay grounded. With Uranus in Gemini, discernment becomes non-negotiable, especially as AI and algorithms make it easier than ever to sound credible without being embodied or true.

    From there, we get practical. I talk about the nervous system as the ultimate technology for this era and how dysregulation can drive reactivity, avoidance, people pleasing, freeze, collapse, and the expand-then-crash cycle. You’ll get journal prompts to help you slow down, return to your body, and set an intention for the next seven years as a living ceremony. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who feels the acceleration, and leave a review so more people can find Body Wisdom Rising.

    The Threshold: Jung, Spiritual Emergency, and the Rising Feminine

    10/04/2026 | 23 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    We’re moving through a collective threshold where old identities fall away fast, and what looks like loss can be the start of real alignment. We name the cycles behind this moment and ground it in nervous system regulation, shadow work, and the full-spectrum feminine that knows how to dismantle what’s dead and build what’s true. 

    • cyclical time across traditions and why transitions feel like fire 
    • Kali Yuga, Fourth Turning, and the sense of collective acceleration 
    • nervous system capacity as the limiter on visibility, love, leadership, and change 
    • somatic healing and attachment patterns shaping what feels safe to receive 
    • Jung’s individuation and shadow work speeding up in collective crisis 
    • becoming a container who can hold uncertainty without collapsing 
    • Grof’s spiritual emergency and why support beats suppression 
    • regulation as what makes sustained awakening possible 
    • reclaiming the feminine as creation and sacred destruction 
    • three integration anchors: name what is dying, tend your nervous system, find your people 
    • reflection questions to deepen grief, power, and community 

    I have a very small favor to ask you if you are enjoying these episodes, if you are receiving value from them, if you could just take a quick moment to leave a review as it really helps the podcast grow and reach more people. 
    If something in you said yes while you were listening today, if you felt recognized somewhere in this conversation, come to the masterclass on May 20th, because this is the work that we are going to be doing together, not just intellectually, but in your body where change actually lives. So you can find the link in the show notes, and hopefully I will see you there.

    Relationship Realignment: The Truth About Twin Flames, Soulmates, Karmics & Spiritual Illusions

    31/03/2026 | 18 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    We question the soulmate and twin flame labels that keep people stuck in longing, fantasy, and unhealthy attachment. We bring the focus back to nervous system wisdom, conscious partnership, and practical rituals that help us choose safety, self trust, and aligned love. 
    • relationship realignment during spiritual awakening and times of change 
    • how soulmate and twin flame language gets distorted online 
    • discernment when a connection becomes an energy leak 
    • why intensity and synchronicity do not guarantee alignment 
    • attachment patterns as nervous system responses and ancestral inheritance 
    • what divine union looks like in practice: safety, truth, reciprocity 
    • somatic check in prompts for self abandonment and overgiving 
    • a simple full moon ritual to pull energy back to self 
    • healing attachment wounds through friendships, family, and solitude 
    • grief, anger, and ritual after karmic or abusive relationships 
    • letting go of the victim story and choosing co-creation going forward
