THE EMPOWERED SOUL Podcast | Spiritual Growth & Soulful Conversations
The Empowered Soul Podcast is a warm, grounded companion for the everyday journey of being human — exploring spirituality, personal growth, healing, and remembering who we are beneath the noise of everyday life.
Through heartfelt conversations, guided meditations, prayers, music, and spoken-word poetry, we explore the beautiful meeting place between spirituality and ordinary life — motherhood, grief, creativity, astrology, numerology, conscious living, nervous system healing, and learning to trust our own unique path.
Whether you're a mystical mama, spiritual seeker, creative soul, or simply someone longing to slow down, heal, and reconnect with yourself, I hope these conversations feel like sharing a cup of tea with a friend.
Hosted by Marcela, artistically known as MC Mama Bird — a mama, artist, writer, yoga and meditation teacher with over 20 years of experience, Reiki practitioner, and currently training in Past Life and Between Lives Soul Regression — each episode is shared from lived experience, honoring both the beauty and the challenges of being human.

S1E34: What Does Self-Love Really Look Like? | A Heartfelt Conversation with Rachelle Mecca
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome, beautiful soul.
What does self-love really look like in everyday life?
Is it bubble baths and roses...
Or is it forgiveness, compassion, creativity, and learning to come home to ourselves?
In this heartfelt Valentine's conversation, I'm joined by my dear friend Rachelle Mecca—poet, multimedia artist, host of Speaking of Tea, and a beautiful soul I met through Cathy Heller's community.
Together, we simply share a conversation.
One that feels like two friends sitting around the kitchen table with warm cups of tea, exploring creativity, motherhood, spirituality, poetry, and the many ways love quietly shapes our lives.
Together we'll reflect on:
🍵 Tea as a daily ritual of presence
🌹 Self-love beyond perfection
📖 Poetry, creativity, and authentic expression
🎙️ Podcasting as a creative path
✨ Astrology, intuition, and living from the heart
💛 Friendship, motherhood, and embracing every season of life
This conversation became even more special because Rachelle was expecting her beautiful baby at the time, and my little one wandered in with us now and then, adding his own sweet reminders that life rarely unfolds in perfect silence.
It's a real conversation. Warm. Gentle. Honest.
The kind that leaves you feeling as though you've just shared tea with dear friends.
So pour yourself something cozy...
and come join us.
Made with love.
Listening back today, this conversation feels even more precious knowing that Rachelle has since welcomed her beautiful baby into the world.
