The Emotional Alchemist
The Emotional Alchemist Podcast is hosted by Isa Rocio. This virtual space offers a nuanced mix of deep insight, and practical advice for navigating healing and self-actualization as your *own* healer. In this household we advocate for embracing your sensitivity and using it as your power; discerning what's best for your personal journey, instead of following the masses; knowing the universe is a guiding force while also trusting your intuition above all else; and finding that sweet spot within being a divine/powerful af extension of the cosmos, and a messy/emotional af/growing human.
