59 | You Are a Storyteller with David Alder
"What is the message that wants to come through you now?"
This is the question storyteller David Alder asked each of us to contemplate as we embarked on an 8-week writing course—the result of which became the previous episode of this podcast (an episode my husband said was my best ever!)
We all have stories within us that shape us at a profound level and change the way we engage with this world. Sometimes, these stories reawaken within us and ask to be shared. David Alder is a storyteller shepherding people to create parables of change through his transformative writing courses and workshops.
He is also the author of a thought-provoking parable of his own called "We Will Call it Pala" a cautionary tale about the mainstream use and commodification of the psychedelic therapy movement.
If you've never engaged in a consistent writing practice before, David shares practical and energetic tools to cultivate a discipline around storytelling and shares a compelling and urgent treatise for why our world needs more heart-centered stories to individually and collectively raise the vibration of our planet.
I hope you love this conversation as much as I did.

56 | Shadow Work with Dr. Ido Cohen
What is shadow work? How do you identify and work with your golden shadow as opposed to your darker shadow?
Join Nadia as she interviews Dr. Ido Cohen, Jungian psychologist and psychedelic educator.
In this episode, we explore several avenues of spirituality, psychological, and personal growth:
Understanding Synchronicity: Dr. Cohen delves into the concept of synchronicity, explaining it as a meaningful connection between internal and external events that go beyond mere coincidence. This includes how synchronicities can be seen as messages or signs from the subconscious or the universe.
Jungian Psychology and the Self: The discussion covers Jungian psychology extensively, particularly the concept of the 'Self' and its relationship with the ego. Dr. Cohen describes how the ego acts as a translator and processor for messages from the Self, aiding in personal growth and understanding.
Role of Psychedelics in Spiritual Practice: The podcast explores how psychedelics can be integrated into spiritual practice, offering profound experiences and insights. Dr. Cohen emphasizes the importance of proper integration of these experiences into one's life.
Shadow Work: A significant portion of the conversation is dedicated to understanding the shadow self, including both the 'golden shadow' (hidden talents and positive aspects) and the 'darker shadow' (repressed or negative aspects).
Processing Trauma and Life Challenges: Dr. Cohen discusses the importance of working through traumatic experiences and challenging life events as opportunities for growth and learning.
Spirituality as a Taboo and Personal Exploration: Addressing the taboo surrounding spirituality in certain cultures and communities, and the importance of creating a safe space for exploring and discussing spiritual topics.
The Importance of Integration Work: For making sense of and applying insights from both peak psychedelic experiences and deep psychological work in day-to-day life.
Rebirth and Transformation: Dr. Cohen shares his experience of his house burning down, and how such events can lead to profound and unexpected personal change.
Engaging with the Invisible: The episode delves into the importance of engaging with the 'invisible' or aspects of life and the psyche that are not immediately visible or tangible, but deeply influential.
Approaching Life Changes and New Beginnings: Lastly, Dr. Cohen discusses practical ways to approach life changes and new beginnings, emphasizing the importance of taking small, conscious steps towards transformation.
More about Dr. Ido Cohen:
Dr. Ido Cohen, a clinical psychologist with training from CIIS and the Jung Institute in San Francisco, specializes in treating early childhood trauma, addiction recovery, relationship issues, and psycho-spiritual exploration.

Guidance & Grace on the Human Condition & Soulful Endeavors
Nadia continues to unlock the mysteries of life with a profound sense of loving, graceful guidance. Her natural abilities to ask piercing, thoughtful and heart-centered questions of the big Self and little Self are constantly delivered in terms we can all understand, whether she’s riding solo or sharing intellectual insights with another. It’s an honor to be a part of her community and evolution. Keep going, Nadia. I love you.
The new modern day “chicken soup for the soul”??
What I’d call the new modern day “Chicken Soup for The Soul” - Spiritual podcast edition. In these episodes, it feels as though you’re articulating my soul and the entire human experience at once. I continue to learn so much for every episode and love the variety in solo episodes, human design education and interviews.
Nadia thank you so much for sharing your voice and old soul wisdom with the world.
