In this powerful conversation, hosts Sonia Lopez and Deirdre DiGregorio welcome their first-ever guest, Dr. Mariya Shiyko—a metaphysical teacher, intuitive channel, and former university professor who left academia to follow her soul’s calling. Together, they explore what it really means to live your true purpose, how to trust your intuition even when it defies logic, and why surrendering to your inner knowing can transform everything.
Mariya shares her journey from burnout and self-judgment to deep spiritual alignment, offering insights into channeling, embodiment, ecstatic dance, and healing the mind-body-spirit connection. She opens up about breaking free from external expectations, learning to hear your higher self, and how connecting to the “creator within” leads to peace, prosperity, and freedom.
If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit in a box—or that the universe is nudging (or throwing bricks!) to get your attention—this episode will speak directly to your soul.
