85. Discovering the Truth About Mary Magdalene with Meggan Watterson
What if everything you were taught about Mary Magdalene, Christianity, and the divine feminine was deliberately erased from history?
In this revelatory episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily dives deep with Meggan Watterson, Harvard-trained theologian, scholar of the Divine Feminine, and bestselling author of Mary Magdalene Revealed and The Girl Who Baptized Herself.
Meggan unveils the buried truths that were literally found in Egyptian caves. Ancient scriptures that reveal a version of Christianity radically different from what survived. These texts show Christ giving Mary Magdalene secret mystical teachings, women in positions of spiritual authority, and a path to the divine that runs through the body, not around it.
💡 In This Episode, We Explore:
✨ Why Mary Magdalene was never a prostitute and how that lie served patriarchal power structures
✨ The Gospel of Mary and other "lost" scriptures that were deliberately buried in the 4th century
✨ How the erasure of the Divine Feminine affects our ability to trust our inner knowing
✨ The difference between the "hero's journey" (external) and the "heroine's journey" (internal)
✨ Why salvation originally meant "to be made more alive" not saved by external authority
✨ Meggan's personal journey from religious trauma to discovering authentic mystical Christianity
✨ The revolutionary story of Thecla, the girl who baptized herself and refused patriarchal expectations
This conversation bridges 2,000-year-old wisdom with modern healing, showing how reclaiming these lost teachings can transform our relationship with spirituality, our bodies, and our own divine nature.

From Skeptic to Believer with Ziva Student, Danny Wong & Emily Fletcher | Ziva Magic Series, Ep. 2
A Doctor's Transformation Story: What happens when a logical, science-minded optometrist discovers the power of embodied manifesting? In this inspiring student spotlight from the Ziva Magic Podcast Series, meet Danny, a father, husband, and eye doctor who literally wrote "I'm skeptical" on his intake form... and finished the course saying "I believe in magic."
Danny's incredible journey, from writing "I'm skeptical" to declaring "I believe in magic", proves that manifesting isn't just about positive thinking or vision boards. It's about becoming the version of you who is actually ready to receive everything you've been asking for. And that's exactly what happens inside Ziva Magic, the powerful embodied manifesting course Danny just completed.
💡 In This Episode, You'll Discover:
✨ How a busy professional with zero spiritual background learned to feel his feelings
✨ Why Danny calls this work "taking your brain to the gym"
✨ The moment he realized prayer could be practical, not just religious
✨ How embodied practices helped him show up differently as a father and husband
✨ Why he believes everyone needs spiritual practices—even the most logical minds
✨ The surprising ways his body guided him toward transformation
Danny's journey proves that you don't need to be "spiritual" to benefit from this work. Whether you're a skeptic, an overthinker, or someone who lives primarily in their head, this conversation shows how embodied manifesting can work for anyone willing to stay curious.

The Foundations of Manifesting with Emily Fletcher | Ziva Magic Series, Ep. 1
What if your brain has a built-in filtration system that's keeping you stuck in worry instead of manifesting your dreams?
In this special bonus episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, I'm taking you deep into the science behind embodied manifesting and revealing why traditional manifestation techniques often fall short.
Most people spend minutes every day "worshiping their worries"—obsessing over what could go wrong instead of focusing on what they'd love to create. But there's actual neuroscience behind why this happens, and more importantly, how to rewire it.
I break down the reticular activating system (RAS), your brain's filter that determines what you notice in reality. When you're in chronic stress, this filter prioritizes threats over opportunities. But when you learn to regulate your nervous system first, then manifest from that grounded state, everything changes.
💡 In This Episode, You'll Discover:
✨ How your brain's filtration system keeps you stuck in worry patterns
✨ Why "we don't get what we want—we get who we are" and what that means for manifestation
✨ The electromagnetic power of your heart (5,000x stronger than your head)
✨ How to get your head, heart, and body into coherence for magnetic manifesting
✨ My favorite manifestation question: "What would I love?" and why it's so powerful
Plus, I'm gifting you an exclusive embodied practice from Ziva Magic—a complete guided visualization where you'll experience firsthand what it feels like to manifest from your whole being, not just your mind.
This isn't about positive thinking or vision boards. This is about understanding the frequency of your desires and becoming an energetic match for them through your body, not just your thoughts.

84. Healing Pain Through the Subconscious with Jim Curtis | Part 2
What if the key to healing chronic pain lies not in your conscious mind, but in learning to reprogram the 95% of consciousness that's actually running your life?
In this hands-on Part 2 with Jim Curtis, master hypnotherapist, transformational coach, and author, we move beyond theory into the practical application of subconscious healing. During a live hypnosis demonstration Jim demonstrates exactly how NLP and hypnosis work to eliminate limiting beliefs and physical pain stored in your body.
Jim's journey from 20 years of chronic pain to complete healing through quantum sessions led him to master these techniques, and now he's sharing the exact processes he uses with clients who've gone from despair to thriving businesses, marriages, and transformed lives.
💡 In This Episode, We Explore:
✨ The fascinating science behind NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) and why Tony Robbins became the king of coaching through mastering it
✨ How the specific words you use create chemical reactions in your body and reveal your deepest beliefs
✨ Jim's process for identifying trigger language that creates stress chemistry and keeps you stuck
✨ Why beliefs like "I am bad" get stored in childhood and how to reprogram them
✨ The difference between conscious and subconscious approaches to healing
✨ Step-by-step hypnosis technique from building rapport to flooding the body with healing energy
✨ Live hypnosis demonstration as Jim guides Emily through a complete session for physical tension relief
You'll witness the entire hypnosis process, from initial eye fixation and hand spreading techniques through deep trance induction with nature visualization, muscle relaxation, and energy work. Jim demonstrates how to access the subconscious mind while addressing specific physical issues and installing new positive patterns.
This episode bridges the gap between spiritual healing and practical neuroscience, showing exactly how beliefs become biology and how changing your internal programming can eliminate decades of suffering.
Jim's insights on shadow work, forgiveness, and why we unconsciously sabotage our own healing will transform how you approach personal transformation.
Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, curious about hypnosis, or ready to stop limiting yourself to the 5% conscious mind, this episode delivers both the science and direct experience of subconscious reprogramming.

83. Healing Pain Through the Subconscious with Jim Curtis | Part 1
What if the key to healing decades of chronic pain lies not in your conscious mind, but in the 95% of consciousness you're not even accessing?
In this transformative episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily dives deep with Jim Curtis, a transformational coach, master hypnotherapist, and author.
Jim's story reads like a spiritual adventure novel: from getting hypnotized on national TV with Dr. Brian Weiss, to seeking healing from Ecuadorian shamans in the East Village, to finally accessing a quantum healing session that eliminated his pain completely and allowed him to stop taking 40mg of nicotine gum daily.
💡 In This Episode, We Explore:
✨ How Jim accessed his subconscious to heal 20 years of chronic pain in one session
✨ The profound difference between wallowing in pain versus moving through it with purpose
✨ Why visualization is the language of the subconscious mind
✨ How bringing deceased loved ones into meditation can heal generational trauma
✨ The power of the "I AM" state and accessing infinite energy
✨ Why forgiveness of self is often the master key to transformation
Jim reveals how he now helps others transform their lives by teaching them to make their subconscious mind their playground, using techniques like hypnosis, NLP, and quantum healing to release limiting beliefs and reprogram reality itself.
