Cacao Conversations: Sip. Connect. Awaken.

This conversation may trigger some people—and that is intentional. 

When toxic masculinity shows up, it is easy to point at men as the problem. But men did not create our current reality alone. Women and men co-created these patterns over generations, often doing the best we could with what we knew. Now we know better. It is time to do better. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we talk about the ways distorted power continues to be protected in corporate culture, healthcare education, healing spaces, and spiritual communities. We explore why women sometimes remain sile...

 Have you ever looked around at your life and thought: "This can't be it." 

Not because your life is bad. Not because you're ungrateful. But because somewhere deep inside, you know you're meant for more. More joy. More connection. More peace. More authenticity. More aliveness. 

Many women spend years settling for situations they've outgrown. Not because they don't know better, but because settling happens slowly. We adapt. We tolerate. We convince ourselves things are "fine" while quietly feeling disconnected from ourselves. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring why we settle, what it c...

 Have you ever stopped to think about how many promises you've made to yourself... and then broken? 

"I'll start next week." 

"I'll take better care of myself." 

"I'll set the boundary." 

"I'll stop settling." 

"I'll make time for what matters." 

Most of us think our biggest challenge is confidence, motivation, or discipline. But what if the real issue is trust? Because every time we ignore our own needs, dismiss our own knowing, or break a promise we've made to ourselves, we weaken the relationship we have with ourselv...

These past few weeks have felt heavy. Everywhere we turn, people are going through something—grief, uncertainty, relationship struggles, health concerns, family challenges, big changes, and moments when life simply feels like a lot. And sometimes the hardest part is believing you're the only one struggling. 

In this episode of *Cacao Conversations*, Julietta and Dorice talk honestly about what it feels like to move through these heavier seasons, including what happens when you're the healer, leader, caregiver, guide, or space holder who is usually supporting everyone else while carrying your own shit at the same time. 

Ha...

We live in a world where we're more connected than ever before, yet so many people feel profoundly disconnected. 

We text instead of talk. We scroll instead of connect. We consume endless information, but often struggle to simply be present with another human being. 

What does it really mean to be human? 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we explore the subtle ways we've drifted away from the very experiences that make us feel alive—eye contact, touch, presence, curiosity, wonder, and authentic connection. 

We talk about: 

* why so many pe...

Do you remember what it feels like to be fully alive? 

Not busy. Not productive. Not checking things off a list. Alive. 

Many women spend years taking care of everyone else, meeting expectations, solving problems, and carrying responsibilities. Somewhere along the way, joy becomes optional, curiosity gets pushed aside, and life starts to feel more like something we're managing than something we're experiencing. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring what it means to feel truly alive and why so many of us have become disconnected from that feeling. 

We talk...

How much of your life is on hold? 

How many times have you told yourself: "When I have more time..." "When I feel more confident..." "When I'm less busy..." "When I know exactly what to do..." "When I'm fully healed..." 

For many of us, waiting becomes a way of life. We wait for permission. We wait for certainty. We wait for fear to disappear. We wait for someone else to choose us before we choose ourselves. 

But what if the life you're longing for isn't waiting for perfect conditions? What if it's waiting for...

Have you ever felt lonely in a room full of people? 

Have you ever looked around at your life and realized you're surrounded by family, friends, coworkers, or community, yet something still feels missing? 

You're not alone. 

Many women spend years being the strong one, the helper, the caregiver, the leader, and the person everyone else relies on. They become so skilled at taking care of others that they slowly lose touch with their own need for connection, support, and belonging. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring the loneliness that...

What if the thing that's holding you back isn't a lack of clarity? 

What if it's fear? 

Many of us spend years trying to figure ourselves out. We read the books, do the healing, attend the workshops, and slowly begin to understand who we really are and what we truly want. 

But then comes the hard part. 

Living it. 

Because being fully yourself comes with risks. You may disappoint people. You may outgrow relationships. You may stop fitting into roles that once defined you. And you may discover that the l...

You've asked for advice. 
You've read the books. 
You've listened to the podcasts. 
You've taken the courses. 
You've sought guidance from people you trust. 

But at some point, a question begins to emerge: Can I still hear myself beneath all the noise? 

Many of us spend years looking outside ourselves for answers. We learn to trust experts, authority figures, family members, partners, and even strangers before we trust our own inner knowing. 

Over time, it becomes harder to tell the difference between our truth and someone else's expectations. 

In thi...

You've spent your life being who everyone needed you to be. 

The responsible one. 
The strong one. 
The caretaker. 
The helper. 
The peacemaker. 
The leader. 
The healer. 

But have you ever stopped to ask yourself: Who would I be without all those roles? 

Many of us become so identified with what we do for others that we lose touch with who we truly are. We become experts at meeting expectations, solving problems, and carrying responsibilities, while quietly disconnecting from ourselves in the process. 

In this episode of...

I've read the books. 
I've listened to the podcasts. 
I've been to therapy. 
I've done the healing. 

So why do I still feel stuck? 

If you've ever found yourself asking that question, you're not alone. 

Many women reach a point where they understand their patterns, know their triggers, and can explain exactly why they do what they do. They have spent years investing in personal growth, self-development, and healing. And yet something still feels missing. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring the gap between knowing and living...

Most people think giving away their power is obvious. 

They think it looks like toxic relationships, difficult bosses, manipulative people, or circumstances beyond their control. 

But some of the biggest ways we give our power away are much more subtle. 

They show up in our everyday thoughts, habits, expectations, relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring the less obvious ways we unknowingly hand our power over to other people, situations, and even our own conditioning. 

We talk about:
 • waiting for permissi...

Most of us have expectations. 

Expectations about how life should unfold. 

How other people should behave. 
How quickly we should heal. 
What success should look like. 
Who we should be by now. 

We often think expectations help us get more out of life. We think they keep us motivated, focused, and moving toward our goals. 

But what if they're actually doing the opposite? What if our expectations are keeping us stuck, disappointed, resentful, and blind to what's right in front of us? 

In this episode of Cacao Co...

Last week, we started a conversation about people pleasing, overgiving, and what happens when helping everyone else starts hurting you. 

This week, we're going deeper. Because the real issue isn't helping people. The real question is: Who are you if nobody needs you?

Many of us learned that being useful was the safest way to receive love, approval, connection, or a sense of worth. We became the helper, the fixer, the caretaker, the strong one. We learned to anticipate other people's needs while often ignoring our own. But eventually, that way of living catches up w...

Everyone wants intuition. 
Purpose. 
Manifestation. 
Peace. 
Connection. 
Answers. 

But most people are trying to build their lives from a completely ungrounded nervous system. We live in a world that keeps pulling us out of our bodies and into stress, distraction, overwhelm, comparison, fear, overthinking, and information overload. Then we wonder why we feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected, and all over the place. 

In this episode, we’re talking about grounding. Real grounding. Not just “go stand barefoot in the grass” grounding. 

We talk about: 

Mother’s Day can bring up a lot. 

Grief. 
Longing. 
Love. 
Resentment. 
Regret. 
Sadness for what was… and sadness for what never was. 

In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we use Mother’s Day as the doorway into a much deeper conversation: What happens when life doesn’t look the way you imagined? 

Maybe you lost your mother. 
Maybe you lost a child. 
Maybe becoming a mother never happened the way you hoped. 
Maybe your relationship with your mother is complicated. 
Maybe the life you thought you’d ha...

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...
