I am so excited to introduce you to my dear friend and amazing conscious musician, Alicia Mathewson. In this episode, you will experience something special: uplifting and empowering live music along with wisdom teachings on love and life with Alicia. We talk about her new album release, Frequencies of Love, which will include 9 songs and 9 mantras, as well as her first book release, Sacred Dissonance, which will consist of 9 pieces of poetry and more. Together, these three offerings form Frequencies of Love—a project rooted in devotion, designed to support personal and collective evolution. It is an invitation to remember who we are, to embrace the full spectrum of being, and to sing the song only we can sing.
Alicia Mathewson is a singer, songwriter, sound healer, and spiritual guide whose music and presence open hearts and awaken souls. For over two decades, she has been using sound as a vehicle for transformation, weaving together sacred intention, storytelling, and frequency to create experiences that heal and uplift. With five studio albums, countless mantra recordings, and a devoted community of listeners, Alicia’s work bridges the worlds of music and mysticism. Her sixth studio album, Frequencies of Love, marks a powerful new chapter—an offering that includes not only original songs, but a digital mantra release and her new book Sacred Dissonance. This project also arrives at a deeply personal moment: the 18-year anniversary of her mother’s passing, in a 9-year of her personal cycle—a time of completion, remembrance, and rebirth. Guided by the sacred energy of 999, Alicia’s creations are designed to support others in moving through their own transitions with grace, courage, and love. Whether through melody, mantra, or memoir, Alicia’s mission is clear: to help others remember who they are, reclaim their light, and sing their truth into the world.
Alicia has launched a Kickstarter to help with the release of this beautiful project. One of our intentions with this podcast is to let the world know about it. She is on a mission to raise $21,000, and if 1000 people feel it in their hearts to donate just $21, then she will reach her goal with the Kickstarter! If you follow the links below, you will soon find out how amazing, healing, and full of alchemy her music and frequencies are. Follow the links below to find Alicia, her music, and how you can be part of this loving project. Thank you for reading and listening; it truly means the world.

Hi! It's been a little while since my last release but I am back with exciting updates about my favorite topic - Peru - with one of my favorite people - Hamid - In this video we talk all about Hamid's annual retreat or better said, 'annual pilgrimage' to the sacred valley to work with his teacher Miguel, and the Sacred Cactus Huachuma. Also, what's been developing since our last trip there in 2024 and what we have to look forward to this July! It's no secret after hearing us talk about these retreats, ceremonies, and time spent in Peru, that our lives have completely shifted in the most beautiful and powerful way, and what a gift it's been to be able to share it with others.
At the time of the release of this video, we still have 2 spots available for the retreat, so if you are interested, please check out www.Mineralshaman.com for more details and to apply to come with us!
Since returning, almost 8 months ago, the Huachuma Foundation has been born. This foundation will serve as a platform for education, preservation, healing, and experiencing the beauty Huachuma / San Pedro has to offer. We have been working diligently to raise money for our flagship project "Miguel Mendiburu's Cactus Sanctuary" where we will be able to plant over 5000 Huachuma to protect and preserve the cactus, while also creating a living classroom to foster learning and healing for those who wish to visit and deepen their understanding and relationship to the cactus.
More about the foundation here: www.huachumafoundation.org
We are still accepting donations and support, so if you would like to help us reach our goal and move the mission forward, please check out our GoFundMe here -- https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-create-a-5000-plant-huachuma-sanctuary-in-peru
If you would like to rock some Huachuma Foundation swag, and support that way, check out our "plant more worry less" mantra clothing - https://coyason.threadless.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaaciEDAzw5ViTNs3eiEmBAN4_5wdsUuqZL3GDsr5Ury6Dz45o2abUTv3UU_aem_8npMeJP70dg8xFPY5Tyb-w
Thank you all so much for listening and tuning in. Please message me for any questions dani@danireardon.com and check out our work with the Foundation on Youtube and Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/huachumafoundation/
Follow Hamid Here Instagram @mineralshaman @hamid.jabbar @sonoransound www.mineralshaman.com
See you on the next one. Hopefully not 11 months down the road, but we will see what the universe has in store for us. In the meantime... Plant More Worry Less.
Thank you. I love you.

What's up, tribe! Are you curious about cannabis and how you could start to build a new relationship with it? I'm sharing my experience attending a cannabis and breathwork ceremony, and how it changed my relationship with weed. This ceremony was an amazing experience and it opened my eyes to the many benefits of cannabis. I hope you'll find this video useful and informative, and that you'll decide to attend a similar ceremony yourself!
This is my "trip and truth report". This episode will be partly me being brutally honest about my use of cannabis. As well as what happened during the ceremony when we combined this plant with breathwork. It definitely changed my relationship with this plant and gave me a whole new way to relate to my energy (chakra) system. I am so grateful for this experience and I honestly can not wait for the next one.
If you are interested in an experienced like this and you are looking to dive into the deeper realms within you, the links are below to the wonderful facilitator who is trained in this and lead us through the journey.
I also released a podcast with Nikki as well if you want to get to know her more. The links to join us are below!

Welcome back to another episode! And joining me, I have one of my dearest friends and soul sisters, Janet Lynn to talk about some very current and relevant topics to both of us right now, and maybe they will be for you as well.
Honoring the seasons and cycles of life, flowing when it's time to be a hermit, and flowing when it's time to show up and share. Also, self-doubt, which I think many of us can relate to, and some of the ways we can handle and move through doubting ourselves, especially when creating something new, or getting out of our comfort zone in any way. And it wouldn't be a convo between Janet and me unless we talked about yoga. We share stories and perspectives on the ancient lineage of yoga and how we feel it's important to not forget this as teachers and work on bringing it into this modern world.
It is always wonderful to share space with Janet, she is one of my dear friends, and yoga mentor, and she is someone I come to for questions and advice. I just love her, and I know you will too!
Connect with Janet! Janet has a wonderful 21-day Yoga challenge that you can join at any time! https://www.yogalifecommunity.com/21-day-2
And if you want to get to know her even more, and explore one on one coaching with her, here is her Instagram! https://instagram.com/yogini_janet?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Hello Tribe, this is my story of what happened when I retired from the stage and how it all began to unravel for me. Leaving bodybuilding was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Still to this day it's hard but I have found a massive amount of peace with it. And finally now, 5-6 years later I am ready to talk about it without being emotionally charged. Now by releasing this, I don't want to demonize the sport, the sponsors, or the industry... but this is what happened and this is my story. I will forever be grateful for bodybuilding and it will be forever my first love and best teacher. It's the very foundation I stand on now. My hope in releasing this is that some of you out there can resonate with me and maybe find permission to lose who you think you are to find out who you really are. Contact me if you are going through this or have any questions. I am here :) If you are interested in Spirit School Here are the links for you!!

Talk Soon, Love, Dani
