Rachel shares her personal journey of career transitions, how genuine relationships (not “networking events”) shaped her path, and how nervous system regulation plays a crucial role in navigating rejection, burnout, and big career pivots. The conversation weaves together practical tips, spiritual insight, and human design wisdom for women seeking alignment, confidence, and connection in work and life.

In this episode of More Than This, Deirdre and Sonia dive deep into the magic that happens when you stop overthinking and start trusting your nudges. From launching their new “Fuck Around and Find Out” mini-mine to leading their first transformational retreat in Saratoga Springs, they explore what it means to evolve consciously — even when you’re unsure of the “how.”

They unpack:

✨ Why your next-level self can’t be reached from your current consciousness

✨ How “fucking around and finding out” is actually a path to deeper trust and alignment

✨ The alchemy of embodiment — clearing, activating, and anchoring your magic

✨ Why creative play and sacred connection matter in this Age of Aquarius

✨ What really happens when women gather to heal, create, and rise together

This is the episode for anyone craving clarity, connection, and the courage to follow their inner pull — even when it doesn’t make logical sense.

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.
