This episode is a deep, luminous descent into grief, devotion, creative truth, and the sacred mystery of dreaming—with the incomparable Ayesha Ophelia as our guide. Known for her soul-rich transmissions and poetic digital presence through The Girlfriend Manifesto and Society of Wild Hearts, Ayesha brings a kind of wisdom that doesn’t just inspire—it disarms, reveals, and awakens.

Ayesha shares the pivotal moment that altered everything: the death of her mother. What followed was a series of initiations that shaped her identity as a dreamkeeper, grief tender, and spiritual provocateur. She speaks to the alchemy of endings, the artistry of unlearning, and how creativity—whether through ritual, writing, or rhythm—has always been her lifeline.

We explore her relationship to nighttime dreams as guidance, her belief in the power of symbolic death, and how she cultivates deep daily devotion to keep her creative channel alive. She invites us into the real work of feminine leadership—not through performance, but through embodied presence, apprenticehood, and radical sincerity.

This isn’t a surface-level chat. It’s a transmission. A reclamation. A remembering.

“The ancient grandmothers hold the medicine we need most in these times.” — Tara Brading

What does it mean to truly remember who we are—not just in our personal stories, but in the deep, ancient currents of our ancestral lineages? In this powerful and soulful episode, Jenna welcomes the luminous Tara Brading, a devoted teacher of ancestral, feminine, and earth-based wisdom, to explore the layered journey of reconnecting with our roots, reclaiming our medicine, and becoming good ancestors for future generations.

Tara shares the visceral moment that cracked her open at Stonehenge—an encounter with the ancient grandmothers that changed the course of her life. From the lands of Ireland and England to the spiritual legacy held in our blood and bones, this episode takes us into the profound process of ancestral reconnection. Together, Tara and Jenna explore what it means to walk with grief, with rage, and ultimately with reverence.

This conversation flows like ritual—soft, deep, and reverent. It’s an invitation to slow down, to listen, and to honor the truths held in our wombs, our voices, and the lands our people came from. Tara offers tangible insights on how to begin ancestral work, why specificity matters, and how even small acts of remembrance create ripples through the lineage—past, present, and future.

They explore how grief and intergenerational trauma are not just wounds, but thresholds to deeper healing. Through story, song, and grounded spiritual guidance, Tara reminds us that our connection to our lineage is not about appropriation or escape, but about rooting deeply into the truth of who we are—and who we’re becoming.

If you’ve ever wondered Who was I in a past life?—or more importantly, Why does it matter now?—this conversation will light up your soul. In this powerful episode of Enter the Portal, we sit down with spiritual teacher, past life regression expert, and author Michelle Brock to explore how remembering your past lives can radically transform your present and future.

Michelle shares the deeply personal story of how a spiritual crisis, a chance encounter with Many Lives, Many Masters, and a life-changing experience on stage with Dr. Brian Weiss opened the door to her calling. For nearly 20 years, she’s helped thousands uncover karmic patterns, reconnect with soul memories, and release limiting beliefs—through the profound modality of past life regression.

We also dive into her breakthrough book, Who Do You Think You Are?—an interactive guide to healing through past lives and shedding the false identities we’ve carried across lifetimes. Michelle’s approach to reincarnation, karma, and identity deconstruction helps us understand that we are more than our current story—and that our past lives hold the key to unlocking our soul’s purpose.

Whether you’re new to past life work or already deep on the journey, this episode will open your heart, spark your intuition, and help you trust the timeless wisdom already living inside you.
