Mystical Aunties

This episode starts with listener questions — and unfolds into a layered, candid conversation about intuition, discernment, power, and the spiritual myths many of us have quietly outgrown. Elizabeth and Elisha respond to questions about how intuition actually works in real life: how you learn when to speak, when to stay quiet, and how to tell the difference between true guidance, fear, pattern recognition, and the ever-busy predictor mind. Along the way, they explore why urgency is rarely intuitive, how the need to be right distorts discernment, and why intuition was never meant to override someone else's agency. From there, the conversation widens — touching on predictions, astrology fatigue, embodiment, power dynamics in spiritual spaces, business and money myths, and the pressure to be palatable, enlightened, or "doing it right." As usual, nothing is packaged neatly — and that's the point. This episode is less about answers and more about turning back toward your own authority, your own body, and your own lived wisdom. Enjoy!

This week, your Mystical Aunties slid into one of those deceptively simple topics that turned into a full-on portal: matching energy — or, as it turns out… matching effort. What starts as a curiosity turns into a layered, funny, and honest conversation about frequency, tone, boundaries, shapeshifting, code-switching, dating, perimenopause, overperforming at work, and the lifelong deconditioning of "being the bigger person." Experience the conversation face-to-face — head over to YouTube to watch the episode HERE . Elizabeth and Elisha break open: Why "I don't match energy" isn't the whole truth The real difference between frequency, tone, and effort How sensitive people "respond" whether they mean to or not Why underperforming is sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do The joy of giving exactly what someone gives you — no more, no less The secret liberation of not overexplaining, overextending, or overholding Dating stories, petty moments, and perimenopausal freedom What happens when women finally stop doing the emotional heavy-lifting It's tender, it's smart, it's unhinged in the best way, and it's one of those episodes that sneaks up on you with clarity. If you've ever wondered whether you should mirror someone's vibe, hold your center, or throw the whole dynamic into the sun… this one is for you.

In this episode, Elisha brings a rich inquiry to the table: Is radicalization pulling us closer to presence—or pulling us away from it? What unfolds is a layered, honest, sometimes fiery unraveling of what it means to respond to a world in chaos without losing your humanity, sensitivity, or grounding. Experience the conversation face-to-face — head over to YouTube to watch the episode HERE . Elizabeth and Elisha explore: What "radicalization" really means, who gets to define it, and how perception shapes it Whether radical responses require desensitization—and what that costs us The tension between activism rooted in devotion vs. activism rooted in reactivity How to meet violence, injustice, and extremism without collapsing into numbness or mimicry The difference between extremism and taking extreme measures How embodiment, values, and lived experience shape our ability to respond Presence as a practice, not a performance The messy, necessary work of analysis (not bypass, not performance, not certainty) Why shaming, gatekeeping, and performative leadership weaken movements The spiritual, ancestral, and practical realities of living through this political moment What it means to stay human, stay sensitive, and stay accountable when the world feels unhinged This one is raw, reflective, and grounded in the real-time process of two women wrestling with how to stay awake without burning out, how to stay loving without being naïve, and how to stay present without losing the edge required to protect what's sacred. If you've been feeling the pressure, the polarization, or the confusion of this moment—pull up a chair. This conversation meets you right where you're at.

In this spiraling, soulful conversation, Elizabeth and Elisha explore one of life's most timeless questions: Are we choosing our paths, or are we being chosen? Prompted by a listener's DM—"Everyone else out here selling carbon copies and y'all over there looking like the last honest creatures alive. Do you feel like you chose this path, or do you feel like the Gods pulled a fast one on you?"—the Mystical Aunties dive into the tension between divine design and human choice. Together, they unpack the dance of surrender and creatorship, the freedom in devotion, and the messy? Intense? Confusing? Bewildering? Awe-inducing? delight of being both guided and responsible. Experience the conversation face-to-face — head over to YouTube to watch the episode HERE . This episode meanders through themes of: Fate vs. Destiny — how much is written, and how much is rewritten by how we live Empowerment and Surrender — the paradox of co-creating with what already is Light and Darkness — from evil and disconnection to compassion and choice Hierarchy, Purpose, and Pedestals — the myth that "healing" work is higher work Humanity and Humility — remembering we're no more important than anyone else in the hive Work with us: Follow @mysticalaunties on Instagram Elizabeth DiAlto Connect with Elizabeth @elizabethdialto Elisha Tichelle Connect with Elisha @elishatichelle_co

In this episode, Elizabeth and Elisha sit down with Rachel Lieberman , Human Design expert and creator of Pure Generators , for a grounded and illuminating conversation on satisfaction — what it really means for Generator and Manifesting Generator types, and why following what feels good is a collective gift, not a selfish act. Experience the conversation face-to-face — head over to YouTube to watch the episode HERE . They explore: The link between satisfaction, energy, and integrity — and how honoring what truly nourishes you creates resonance in every area of life. How to understand "waiting to respond" as a practice of presence rather than passivity. The difference between frustration and fulfillment, and how productivity conditioning keeps Generators from their natural rhythm. Navigating the current cultural climate through embodied awareness, discernment, and self-trust. Plus, real talk about dating, energy leaks, and what it means to stop performing satisfaction and start living it.

In this juicy Part 2 conversation, Elizabeth and Elisha delve into the mechanics of intuition, psychic perception, and how we actually live these truths in real time - not as abstract concepts, but in the chaos and beauty of our lives. Together, they explore: Why intuition isn't about outsourcing your power, and how to tell the difference between needing support vs. handing it all away The trickiness of psychic readings, timing, and capacity—when guidance is true for the moment but not forever The "Clairs" (clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, claircognizance) and how they flow through the nervous system How dysregulation can masquerade as intuition, and the difference between true insight and fear-based perception Real stories of following hunches, hindsight, and timing—including dating tales, "lobster" lessons, and what happens when we trust the nudge to stay put This one is packed with laughter, candid stories, and practical wisdom for anyone learning to navigate their own inner sight.

What happens when we stop trying to be "right" and start listening to the mystery? In this episode of Mystical Aunties , Elizabeth and Elisha dive into the Akashic field and the lived experience of intuition. From cosmic perspectives to everyday practices, they explore how intuition works, why it's often misunderstood, and how to ground it in both clarity and truth. In this conversation, you'll hear about: What the Akashic field is and how it shows up in our lives Stories from years of working in the Akashic Records The relationship between intuition and critical thinking Why intuition isn't about being "right" but about being useful and resonant How culture, conditioning, and systems of power distort our intuitive knowing Practical ways to strengthen discernment, symbolism, and energetic clarity A rich, real talk on engaging with mystery, living intuitively, and staying rooted in authenticity Mystical Aunties Interest list: HERE Experience the conversation face-to-face—head over to YouTube to watch the episode HERE Work with us: Follow @mysticalaunties on Instagram Elizabeth DiAlto Connect with Elizabeth @elizabethdialto Elisha Tichelle Connect with Elisha @elishatichelle_co

What if your deepest devotion wasn't to productivity, perfection, or performance… …but to your own sacred and essential self? In this rich, rebellious conversation, Elizabeth and Elisha unpack the wild, liberating power of devotion as an act of rebellion. They explore how true devotion isn't about rigidity or religious dogma — it's about living in reverent alignment with your own soul's truth. From their own embodied practices to the small, quiet rebellions that anchor their spiritual lives, they explore what it means to be devoted in a world that constantly demands your distraction. This episode is both a call and a comfort for anyone feeling the dissonance between what their soul craves and what culture expects. You'll hear real talk on: • The difference between obligation, performance, and sacred devotion • Why devotion is never performative and always transformative • How to spot distraction disguised as discipline • The beauty of imperfect but intentional devotion • How Elizabeth and Elisha stay rooted in practices that nourish — not deplete — their spirits • Why devotion to your inner wildness is one of the most radical acts you can commit to Mystical Aunties Interest list: HERE Experience the conversation face-to-face—head over to YouTube to watch the episode HERE Work with us: Follow @mysticalaunties on Instagram Elizabeth DiAlto Connect with Elizabeth @elizabethdialto Elisha Tichelle Connect with Elisha @elishatichelle_co

Mystical Aunties are back for Season 2, baby! We are really looking forward to stretching into our Season 2 theme of Presence + Devotion To Truth. To kick off the season Elisha + Elizabeth are diving into the "summer thresholds" they journeyed and crossed through, sharing a bit about their weekly Gene Keys jams, deepening their friendship and "professional" relationship, and of course, giggling about life, lessons, and navigating complex times.

It's our final episode before summer break!! First of all, we have loved this first cycle, spiral, and season of the podcast and appreciate you all for tuning in so much. THANK YOU! As for today's topic, we got into confronting individualism and evolving how we relate to each other — a topic for the times if there ever was one. Enjoy and stay tuned for our live return on 8/8!

Today, Elisha and Elizabeth are unpacking the mother wound. This is a wide and deep topic, that will definitely warrant a revisit from time to time, but for today, the aunties got into some personal experiences of healing, awakening, growth, reparenting, compassion, acceptance, and forgiveness. They also touch on how a relationship with The Divine Mother was critical for both of their mother wound journeys and explore the possibility that perhaps the birth mothers who raised them were exactly who they needed to turn toward the Goddess later in life and begin their sacred work.

The Mystical Aunties are joined today by another of Elizabeth's dearest humans in the council, Jolenny Piedra, and the conversation is about the nature of healing. While healing is not linear, predictable, or formulaic, Elizabeth, Elisha, and Jolenny explored ingredients they've seen and experienced that make it possible. The conversation goes deep and wide, is woven with compassion and curiosity, and some real deep insight for navigating so many of the profoundly human things that also connect us with our most sacred parts. We hope you'll listen to this one a few times and really take in the depth of presence, inquiry, and experience Jolenny brings to everything.

We loved our follow up chat with Rebecca Campbell on the Mystical Aunties show today. If you haven't listened to Part 1 on Rebecca's podcast Returning, make sure you check that out, too. In it, we discussed dealing with unsolicited advice, especially in spiritual spaces and navigating perimenopause. (Totally cool if you don't listen to Part 1 and Part 2 in order, though!) In this discussion, which occurred on Beltane, by the way—unplanned—we talked about shifting energy dynamics in our work and creative processes. Not necessarily what we do, but how we go about doing it as we've gotten older and matured. We also explored, especially as three people who love working and what we do, how to create habits and rituals for transitioning out of "work mode" and into other aspects of life, having boundaries with God, the role of surrender in life's work and purpose, the Mary Magdalene asteroid in astrology, and some other fun, wild and mystical things.

You're getting our maximum geekiness in today's episode as we explore the synergy and differences between our Human Designs, most specifically focusing on our profiles. With Elisha being a 5/1 and Elizabeth being a 6/2, your Mystical Aunties are built very, VERY differently and we believe this is what makes us an excellent combo and team! Whether you're a 5/1 or a 6/2 and can directly glean insight into your own makeup through our profile explorations, what we hope to model more than that in this episode is deep trust and honoring of uniqueness, especially in the spaces and places where how we're built is not "societally preferred." We also hope to show and celebrate the life giving benefits of have council, community, and relationships with people who are different from you because then we can all bring our gifts, and ideally and aspirationally, no one has to be burdened with more than what's theirs to do!

Today, we are joined by another of Elizabeth's dearest friends, Brandi Holmes, and we're getting into living our liberation NOW. Not later and certainly not when we feel or think we're ready, because when really might that be? And also, who cares? We explore living our liberation now through relationships, community engagement, involvement and organizing, healing, embodiment, boundaries, what we say "yes" and "no" to– how that cultivates trust or distrust (with others and within ourselves), and tuning into our true selves as we shift, age, and evolve. We also discuss the different cultural contexts and lived experiences that inform what liberation looks, feels, and is like in each of our lives. As always, we hope you can take what we share, put it in your own context, and get whatever gems might be waiting for you as you listen!

We're back for Part 2 of What It Is To Have A Life with some more personal stories from our own journeys of healing, wholeness, liberation, and coming into the lives we live now. We also explore what it was like to be navigating various traumas and sensitivities before really having the language for or understanding of them. What it looked like to navigate coping strategies, countering habits, big emotions, and whether we knew it or not, walk ourselves home to the center within that's always there, waiting to be discovered, nourished, and cultivated. We also touch on it being FIVE YEARS since the world shut down for the pandemic, how we've dealt with that, and have seen others both dealing and not dealing with it. Finally, we discuss why Elizabeth hates the term "late bloomer" and Elisha loves it! As always… to each their own. Enjoy and let us know what you think!

What is it to have a life? LIFE means different things to different people. Even so, we all have conditioning around expectations and societal preferences and hierarchies when it comes to living a "good life." Today, we begin to unpack this. From how we socialize, how we're driven by passions and interests, how we're built to embody our genuine desires, and how we arrive at what those even are!!

Unless this is your first episode listening to Mystical Aunties, you probably realize by now just how much Elizabeth and Elisha enjoy geeking out on things from every angle and how much weaving and acknowledging the sacredness in everything drives the show. In this episode, they're reflecting on last week's psychedelics and plant medicine chat with Heather Lindemenn, going a bit deeper into their own personal experiences, and looking at some different facets and layers of healing. From complex trauma, the impacts and unwinding of hypervigilance, and the cyclical nature of healing to engaging with symptoms vs getting to root causes, there's some really fun and nuanced exploration in this one.

This is a very exciting episode, mystical friends! First, because Elizabeth's dear friend Heather Lindemenn joined us to talk about all things psychedelics and plant medicine, and second, because we're finally up on YouTube. If you prefer to watch rather than listen to episodes, you can now watch on Elizabeth's YouTube channel! In today's episode, we get into engaging with and regarding plant medicine and psychedelics with the reverence, gravity, and deep care we believe they're meant for. In a time when a lot of folks engage with these things recreationally but call it a "ceremony" or excessively as an escape, rather than a healing technology with sacred roots, it's important to flesh these things out. Whether you're an experienced journier, new to plant medicine or psychedelics, we hope the range of things we get into here help you to approach the matter and any experiences you choose to have in the future responsibly and with great intention.

We're getting into the Witch Wound today. The Witch Wound is something a lot of coaching and self-help platitudes, concepts, and teachings that fall on the shallower, less nuanced end of things are missing. The Witch Wound impacts a lot of us and it's the deeper root to why we hide or shrink ourselves (even if you hide in plain sight), play small, fear our gifts and our power, hesitate to put ourselves out there and be visible. And not just in terms of being online or having a platform, but in social settings, in our closest relationships. So many people hide who they really are and what they're really into, what matters most to them, and what makes them feel whole, alive, and closer to "God" because of this wound. Today we're shining a light on it to help us—yes! We include ourselves in this—do this less. Maybe even stop doing it all together. Enjoy! Help us spread the Mystical Aunties' love.

It feels weird to say we're so excited to share this conversation about grief with you, but we are because we're both huge believers in the alchemical healing power of grief. From the relationship between grief and anger to the relationship between grief and joy and the difference between grief and sadness, we discuss the many octaves of grieving and everything that opens up in our lives when we allow ourselves to feel this powerful emotion. We talk about why people are afraid of grief, how far-reaching grief is (it's not just for death or break-ups!), and share our own experiences of grieving and how we witness and support people who are grieving. We hope this one makes you feel really seen, supported, and acknowledged, especially if you're a big, deep feeler who doesn't just grieve for your own life but for the world, too.

Somehow we got through 18 episodes without specifically diving into one of the primary components to both of our bodies of work: EMBODIMENT! So we're diving in this week and leaving it open to revisit many times over since there is just SO MUCH to cover! In this episode, Elisha jams on some nervous system and neuroscience basics, Elizabeth gets into the mechanics of her Wild Soul Movement practice and what she's always referred to as "getting out of your head and into your body," and we geek out on the importance of integration, and how integrative embodiment work and practice is. We're excited for you to see how whether your approach to embodiment is scientific, mystical, intuitive or a combination of all three, it's not just a "nice to have," it's crucial if you're really focused on healing and liberation. Especially during the crazy times we're living in!

We're living in times where, unfortunately, we have to be way more vigilant about stuff we were able to be more lax about in the past. Today's episode is a timely and important discussion. We talk about spiritual satire, media, and social media: what we're letting get into and influence our consciousness and the deeper impacts of these choices. Whether it's TV, news, movies, books, or scrolling social media, our choices and discernment about how and what we engage with matter more than some of us would prefer.

You know it's gonna be a great episode when the editor sends a note along that says, "Mind blown. This episode is amazing!" We are delving into the possibility that the pursuit of worthiness is a scam today. And not just the pursuit of worthiness but the condition of being in constant pursuit in general. Especially in the realms of self-help, personal development, and spirituality. We make observations about "worthiness wounds" and the larger issues we believe they're symptomatic of, the fallacy that we shouldn't acknowledge, celebrate or be vocal about hitting certain points and milestones in our healing, development, and expansion journeys. We question the roots of spiritual humility and ego and, as always, we share some stories and experiences from engaging with different teachers, groups, and content that have shaped the big questions, insights, and stances we're sharing in this episode.

Facilitation Part 2! We're back with part two of our conversation about facilitation and today we're getting into the meat of creating and holding containers. We answer questions like: What even is a container? Why do they matter? How do you know if it's set or not? And more! We also lay out some really important reminders like: Even though many practitioners call upon and integrate "ancient wisdom" into their experiences, we live in modern times. Our "villages" and communities are much different. Not to mention the illusions of connectivity we navigate with technology vs actually being connected, held, and supported. We also explore the nuances between online and in-person containers, group and solo experiences. How different types of containers are appropriate, accessible, or most aligned through various seasons and cycles of life, and why you may tend to prefer particular types.
