Cacao Conversations - A Journey of Healing, Transformation, and Self-Love

Everyone says they want connection. They want community. They want the world to change. 

But most people are still waiting. 

Waiting to feel ready. 

Waiting for the right time. 

Waiting for someone else to go first. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we’re having a real conversation about what’s actually keeping people stuck—and why doing the work alone only takes you so far. 

We talk about: 

• Why so many people feel disconnected (even when they’re “doing the work”)

• The hidden cost of staying...

You Don’t Trust Yourself — And It’s Running Your Life | Break the Pattern & Reclaim Your Power 

If you feel stuck in your life, your relationships, your decisions… this might be hard to hear—but it will set you free: You don’t trust yourself. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we break down how lack of self-trust quietly runs your life—and why no amount of overthinking, researching, or asking for advice will fix it. 

This isn’t about getting more information. It’s about recognizing the pattern that’s been keeping you small… and finally...

If you feel stuck in your life, relationships, money, or health… this might be hard to hear—but it’s also freeing: You’re not stuck. You’re running a program. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we break down what “programs” actually are—your beliefs, conditioning, and nervous system patterns—and how they silently shape your reality. 

We talk about: 

On this episode of Cacao Conversations, we’re diving into a conversation that’s becoming impossible to ignore… 

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere. In our work. In our conversations. Even in our healing and personal growth. 

But the real question is: Are we using AI… or is it quietly shaping us? 

We explore the growing tension between artificial connection and authentic human presence—and what this means for our consciousness, our truth, and our ability to stay connected to ourselves. 

This isn’t about fear. 

And it’s not about rejecting technolog...

On this episode of Cacao Conversations, Dorice shares a deeply personal and profound experience that unfolded on Holy Saturday—one that moved beyond the ordinary and into something sacred, raw, and universal. 

Standing in her kitchen beside an image of the Virgin Mary, she closed her eyes… and found herself inside a living vision of the Pietà. She was holding Jesus. His body, lifeless, in her arms. And then, in an instant, the vision shifted. She was holding her own son… as he died in her arms. 

Back and forth, the images moved. Jesus. Her son. Jesu...

Everyone’s talking about masculine and feminine energy right now… but most people are getting it wrong. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we break down what masculine and feminine energy actually look like in real life — beyond the fluff, beyond the labels, and beyond what social media has been telling you. 

This is a grounded, honest conversation about how these energies show up in your relationships, your work, and your everyday decisions. 

We talk about: 

 Egypt isn’t just history… it’s alive. 

In this powerful conversation, we share what we actually experienced during our recent journey through Egypt—from the temples of Karnak, Abydos, and beyond—where ancient wisdom, energy, and something much deeper is still very present. 

Joined by egyptologist and astrologer Mary Lomando and geomancy practitioner Karina, we explore Egypt from multiple lenses—historical, astrological, energetic, and intuitive. 

This isn’t just about what we learned… it’s about what we felt, what was activated, and what Egypt reveals when you’re open to receiving it. 

In this episo...

This conversation matters right now.

The rise of the manosphere has sparked strong opinions, heated debates, and a growing divide between men and women. But what if we’ve been looking at it all wrong? 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we’re not here to blame, shame, or take sides. We’re here to get honest. Because underneath the noise… there are real people. Men who feel lost, disconnected, and unsure of their role. Women who feel exhausted, unsupported, and done carrying it all. 

And instead of meeting each other there, we’ve been taug...

The world feels chaotic right now. Division, burnout, disconnection, and systems that no longer feel aligned with the wellbeing of humanity. Many people can feel that something is out of balance — even if they can’t quite name what it is. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we speak directly to the role women play in restoring that balance. 

Across cultures and wisdom traditions, the sacred feminine has always represented intuition, creation, compassion, fierce protection of life, and deep connection to truth. When that energy is suppressed or ignored, imbalance shows up everywhere — in our relation...

Everyone has an opinion about safety. 

Especially when you tell them you're traveling somewhere that the media has decided is “dangerous.” 

As Julietta prepares to leave for Egypt, the warnings started pouring in. 

“Be careful.” 

“Is it safe there?” 

“I would never go.” 

But it raises a deeper question… How do we actually decide if something is safe? 

Is it based on reality? Or is it based on stories we’ve absorbed from the news, past experiences, and the collective fear circulating around us? 

In this episode of Cacao C...

This one might stretch you. 

We’re talking about the possibility that what feels solid… isn’t. 

That identity, certainty, and even the physical world may be more like a projection than a permanent structure. 

Before you panic — this isn’t about denying your life. It’s about loosening your grip on what you think is fixed. 

And when that grip softens, something interesting happens. You stop living as if you’re trapped inside the system. 

You start moving like you’re part of something much bigger. 

Hey! Thanks for listen...

We all have an answer ready when someone asks us what we want. 

More peace. 

More freedom. 

Better relationships. 

More purpose. 

More time. 

More money. 

Less stress. 

But what if that answer isn’t actually true? What if the reason you don’t have what you say you want… is because a deeper part of you doesn’t feel safe having it? 

In this episode, we’re talking about: 

The difference between what you say you want and what your system is prepa...

Are you addicted to certainty? 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta Wenzel and Dorice explore why we cling to being right — and what that attachment is doing to our nervous system, our relationships, and our growth. 

We say we want truth. 

But what we often want is certainty. And certainty feels safe. 

But here’s the deeper question: Is certainty even real? 

In this conversation, we unpack: 

• Why humans are wired to seek certainty 

• How identity gets fused with beliefs 

• What happens in the body when o...

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Dorice explore the hidden power of limiting beliefs — and why it’s not just a few beliefs holding you back… it might be all of them. 

We’re often taught to identify and release “limiting beliefs” so we can heal, grow, and manifest the life we want. 

But what if every belief creates a boundary? Because the moment you believe something about yourself — your worth, your identity, your past, what’s possible — you unconsciously put yourself in a box. 

Even the positive ones. 

Even the spiritual one...

 Nothing in your life is random. 

Your emotions, beliefs, nervous system, and energetic state are constantly shaping what you experience — especially in relationship with others. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Dorice explore the deeper truth of co-creation and what it really means to take your power back. 

We talk about frequency, vibration, emotional patterns, and subconscious beliefs — and how they quietly create your reality whether you’re aware of them or not. 

This is not about blame or toxic positivity. It’s about responsibility as liberation. 

We explore: <...

 There is a field of intelligence that exists beyond time, beyond individuality, and beyond ownership. A shared web of awareness where ideas, creativity, healing, and insight live long before they take form. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we explore collective consciousness as the shared field of knowing that all humans can access. This is why people across the world often receive the same ideas at the same time—and why no one truly owns inspiration. 

We talk about how to consciously tune into this infinite web, how information moves through the collective, and what chang...

 We are living in a world that feels increasingly divided. Politics, race, gender, religion, identity — lines are being drawn everywhere, and we’re told we have to choose sides. What’s harder to admit is that the same separation is happening inside spiritual and conscious communities. People focused on being right. Making others wrong. Using spirituality to divide instead of unite. In this episode, we talk about spiritual unity — not as a concept, but as a daily practice. Unity doesn’t mean agreement. It doesn’t mean bypassing truth or avoiding hard conversations. It means choosing love without needing superiority...

The feral feminine is not something you become. 

She is who you are before the conditioning.

 In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we explore what it means to reclaim the feral feminine—shedding domestication, dissolving limiting beliefs, and releasing the labels that keep us small, quiet, and disconnected from our truth. 

We talk about how women (and sensitive, conscious humans) are taught to override instinct in favor of approval, safety, and belonging—and how that slow domestication impacts our nervous system, relationships, creativity, and sense of self. 

This conversation covers: 

Something new is unfolding in Cacao Conversations. 

In this episode, you’ll meet our new cohost—someone whose presence and energy felt like an undeniable yes. 

Rather than a formal introduction, this is a real conversation that allows you to feel the resonance, the alignment, and the reason she’s here. 

We’ll talk about listening, trust, and how the right connections form when we stop forcing and start honoring what feels true. 

We’ll be live, and we invite you into the circle. Join us and ask what you want to know—about...

This episode is a pause. 

A moment to acknowledge the collective heaviness so many people are carrying—and the quiet exhaustion that comes from trying to keep up in a world that rarely slows down. 

So many people are asking why everything feels overwhelming, even when nothing is “wrong.” 

In this conversation, we name what it feels like to live under constant demand, why overwhelm doesn’t mean you’re weak, and how simply telling the truth about what we’re experiencing can be more healing than trying to push through it. 

Feeling overwh...

You’ve collected the crystals, journals, oracle decks, meditations, breathwork practices, and spiritual tools… so why do you still feel stuck? 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Graciela explore a pattern they see all the time in the healing and personal growth space: endlessly searching for the right tool to fix everything—then abandoning it when the results aren’t instant. 

We talk about why most healing tools don’t fail… we simply don’t stay with them long enough. You’ll learn the difference between collecting tools and actually embodying them, why consistency matter...

There are messages that whisper… and then there are the ones that rearrange you. 

This week on Cacao Conversations, Julietta shares a powerful teaching she recently received from the Blue Ones — a teaching that has been working on her from the inside out: 

“Love what you want to hate.” 

In a world overflowing with judgment, reactivity, and emotional exhaustion, this message comes through as both a wake-up call and an invitation to rise into a different kind of power. 

Together, Julietta and Graciela explore what this transmission really means, how it challenges o...

There’s a moment on every growth journey when you finally feel the shift — the healing, the clarity, the strength you’ve worked so hard for. You can look back and see the mountain you’ve climbed… and then suddenly, you’re staring at the base of the next one. 

This in-between space can feel uncomfortable, disorienting, even lonely — but it’s also one of the most powerful initiations of your life. 

In this episode, Julietta and Graciela get real about what it means to outgrow an old version of yourself while not yet fully embodied in the ne...

 Feeling stressed, scattered, or stuck in constant overdrive? You’re not alone — and nature has the answer. 

In this episode, Julietta and Graciela dive into how forest therapy, also known as forest bathing, offers powerful stress relief for mind, body, and soul. They share how slowing down and connecting intentionally with nature helps regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and restore a deep sense of peace and clarity. 

You’ll learn simple ways to bring the healing benefits of forest therapy into your everyday life — no hiking boots required. If you’re ready to stop running on em...

 In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Graciela explore what happens when success stops feeling satisfying. 

Many high-achieving women reach a point where they’ve checked every box—career, family, goals—yet still feel an inner emptiness. This conversation dives into the deeper invitation behind that restlessness: the call to move from achievement to alignment. 

Together they discuss how over-achievement can disconnect you from your soul, the signs that your definition of success no longer fits, and how to reconnect with your authentic self. Through grounded wisdom, spiritual insight, and real conversation, Julietta and Graciela...

 Do you find yourself saying “I’m sorry” for things that don’t actually require an apology? Maybe you apologize for taking up space, asking for help, or simply existing a little too boldly. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Graciela dive into the deeper energetic and emotional impact of over-apologizing—and how it keeps you small. 

Together, they explore: 

✨ Why so many of us have been conditioned to apologize for being ourselves 

✨ The difference between genuine accountability and self-betrayal 

✨ How to shift from “I’m sorry” to “Thank you” or “I appreci...

 Do you ever feel invisible—like no one really sees or hears you? You’re not alone.

 In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Graciela dive deep into the human longing to be seen, heard, and valued. We’ll explore why so many people—especially women and baby boomers—struggle with invisibility, where it comes from, and how social conditioning and busyness keep us from truly witnessing each other. 

More importantly, we’ll share practical, heart-centered tools to help you: 

✨ Be seen for who you truly are 

✨ Express your authentic self with confidence ...

 Life right now can feel like it’s too much — nonstop change, uncertainty, and constant noise from the world around us. When everything feels shaky, the most powerful thing you can do is get grounded. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we’re sharing the simple but transformational tools that help you stay centered no matter what’s happening. From grounding practices that calm your nervous system to rituals that bring you back into your body and heart, we’ll show you how to hold steady when the world is swirling around you.

 We had so much fun recording this episode with our soul sister, Elysia Skye—a brilliant speaker, leadership consultant, and host of The Brilliance Method Podcast. 

In this inspiring conversation, we explore how trusting your gut can transform leadership, why community is essential for authentic success, and how bringing more light and vibration into the corporate world is changing the way we work.  

You’ll learn how to: 

 Who told you who you had to be? And more importantly—are you still carrying labels that no longer reflect your truth? 

In this powerful episode of Cacao Conversations, we dive deep into the stories, roles, and identities we've taken on throughout life—some inherited, some chosen, and many simply absorbed. Labels like “the strong one,” “the good girl,” “the fixer,” or “too much” may have once protected us—but now? They might be the very thing holding us back from becoming who we really are. 

We’ll talk about: 

 Ever feel like something's off—even when life looks good on paper? 

In this heart-opening episode of Cacao Conversations, we’re talking all about alignment. What does it actually mean to live in alignment with your soul’s purpose? And how do you know when you're out of sync? 

We’ll dive into the real-life signs that you're out of alignment—like chronic fatigue, resentment, over-giving, or just feeling disconnected from joy. We'll also share simple, powerful practices to help you come back to center—like ceremony, breathwork, intuitive check-ins, and how to listen to your body as yo...
