It was an honor to sit down with Thérèse Cator to speak about prayer, intuition, following our callings and stepping into true, devotional and radical allyship. We explore the difference between fear and intuition, how to follow through on the guidance we receive, and build resilience around shame when educating ourselves on the true history of racism and inequality in our home lands.
Thérèse invites us to step into deeper alignment with what we know is true and right and rise above our fears to say YES to all the people we could impact with our work.
In this episode we discussed:
What led Thérèse to her purpose and calling, and how she turned down a lucrative job to follow her dream
How to decipher your intuition from fear and how to cultivate the courage to follow it
How becoming a mother changed Thérèse’s life
Why to be cautious with “law of attraction” thinking and manifestation programming to create “the perfect life” and how to stop racist-patriarchal systems in their tracks
One of the most powerful prayers we both use daily
Thérèse’s firsthand experience with racism and the police living in LA
How activism IS spiritual practice
Thérèse’s words of wisdom on caring for ourselves during these difficult times
Weaving the new world with our vision, gifts and leadership individually and collectively
Thérèse’s experience with fear and what continues to inspire her to rise above it
Building resilience around shame and how to use it as a tool to align with what is right

I first met Lianda in a friend’s living room when she led one of her first workshops about the power of prayer. Her stories penetrated my heart and reminded me of one of the most simple yet profound practices we have access to in challenging times.
I wanted to bring Lianda on the podcast to remind us of this power we all have access to at any time, and how when we are willing to be humble and ask for help, we open ourselves to miracles.
Tune in to learn about simple practices to practice prayer, amplify your intuition and remember that we are most definitely not alone in this big (and sometimes scary) world…
