Ep28 Artiste québécoise dans le domaine du design botanique, Chantal Royer crée des oeuvres qui incarne la nature à l’état pur. Après avoir accumulé une grande expertise dans le design floral et collaboré à l’organisation de plusieurs grands évènements, elle a eu le désir de développer une nouvelle vision de l’art botanique en intégrant l’essence de la nature au coeur de ses créations. L’inspiration est donc toujours guidée par le mouvement fluide de la matière organique afin de créer un design harmonieux et vivifiant. La mousse est la matière première que nous exploitons pour les tableaux d’art végétal. Celle-ci provient directement du Québec et elle est soigneusement traitée et stabilisée afin de préserver son éclat naturel de façon permanente. Notre approche artistique vous permet d’avoir des créations botaniques qui incorporeront la nature directement dans votre environnement intérieur sans aucun besoin d’entretien et d’une qualité exceptionnelle. contact@chantalroyerdesign.ca (514) 996 8973 Facebook Instagram

 Arte. De La Cruz Born July 7, 1996, I was lucky enough to see the birth of the Millennial World by surviving the "Y2K" I am now a 22-year-old woman with a huge passion for art! It has been over a year now that I have been devoting myself more seriously to my artistic career. This wonderful passion that I discovered at a young age nourish me daily. Since I was young, drawing and I have always been allies. On the other hand, it was when I entered at Marie-Victorin CEGEP in 2013 that I got illuminated! My initiation to painting was a real revelation. I finally got to know myself! My sweet dreams can now be visualized. My origins greatly inspire my artistic flow. My Dominican mother and my Haitian father. I do not hide from you that these two peoples do not always share a very friendly relationship for many known & unknown reasons. Yet, they live on the same island. I decided to take inspiration from this situation. Not wanting to use one of my two origins, I directed my art to my ancestors in a past where these two peoples and all other peoples were one! Looking forward to making the African continent come to you! Instagram Facebook 

The Universal Language of Art as an Inner Art with Arte De La Cruz

Ep23 Listen in a little closer to my full moon specials where I read my notes from my journal. I get to share my truth with all the consequences there is to follow. I am not afraid to speak my voice. I am not afraid to love again. I am not afraid to break more patterns. You're listening to Boudoir Therapy, hosted by me.   WHY BOUDOIR THERAPY? Because you deserve to welcome love into your life. You deserve to find your healing mentor. You deserve to uncover your hidden treasures. You deserve to live your inner art, without judgement. Boudoir Therapy is success and success is freedom. The boudoir was invented by a woman for a woman. It was her sacred private space where she owned the power to refuse visitors. She would invite her manservant or other royal female friends for a night of budé. This trend was implemented in the late 18th century in France for the royals and wealthy. Sitting on my Queens chair, I feel to have resurrected this 'feminine private' concept into a forward-thinking society who are living too far into the future, that I need to bring in the energies of the past to find a balance. And why not? So why not start in the comfort of your own intimate spaces. Bring the elements you need to explore your desires and design it exactly the way you want it to feel. There is no one way to create a healing recipe. I'm offering you the palette. You choose your hue. Did you get your dose of Boudoir Therapy today?

Ep20 This one published late. We had our Full Moon 5 days ago. But the timing was strange. Everything felt like an Alice-in-Wonderland dream. I don't know about you, but the eclipse does affect highly sensitive beings. I apologize for the delay and am thankful that you are reading this.  I'm a pattern breaker.  What does that mean? I'm a troublemaker? I don't like listening to the rules? I won't repeat traditions?  I believe there is another way to live life, completely different than what I was brought up to believe. My intentions are never to create drama or trouble for me or anyone. I'm not the type to be the centre of attention on purpose. Although, my cute tight body and how I dress attracts glimpse here and there. I also don't like listening to anyone but myself. And this is not coming from a high ego. I went to university. I studied eight languages. I had to listen. But this is different. I have witnessed a complete transformation of my mind, my beliefs and my values. I am assured by my own thoughts of my own actions. It's not that I don't want to listen to you, I just feel that if you can't catch up with me, you're sucking my precious energy. So speed it up. And lastly, every tradition has one main attraction: food. So I think it's safe to say that traditions, whether you call them that or something else in the future, will never die because we will always need food. And I love food. And wine. And rum.  But the biggest shift I am making is difficult and demanding. It demands concentration and a hyper-focused vision. I for once and for all will terminate the unwelcomed, toxic, dysfunctional and abusive gene that has been handed down generation to generation. And now I've noticed it and want to change it. I refuse to accept that I was placed on this planet without the gift of helping the world somehow.  So, I am happy to announce that I am a pattern breaker. And I am on a mission to help women rise. xox -dw

 Ep18 Intuitive Reader Sheila Bicknell, BlueWater Oracle, shifts what is stuck right now and allows forward movement. When people are stuck they feel tight in their body, their energy is not moving, and the same thoughts go round and round in their heads. They can’t stop thinking about how to get out of the situation and what to do next. They feel very stressed and their personal energy is spread too thin. No matter what they do they can’t see a way forward. And often they don’t know where to turn. With 20 years of experience in consulting clinical nutrition, Sheila was used to helping clients with all kinds of health and wellness needs. Then with her own personal life challenges of not being able to have a family as planned, the hardship and emotional turmoil of that opened her up to the intuitive connection that was always nudging in the background and was time to come alive. Now through her oracle work, she is able to bring forward her consulting and listening skills, with the understanding of life’s adventurous journey, to really get to what the client most needs to know in the here and now. Through her sessions, people feel able to focus again. They feel lighter like their energy is back in their body. Their mind feels relief and is able to think clearly while the circle of questions previously experienced is gone. People are able to see and feel the next steps; energy is now moving forward. It is her purpose, it is where she feels at home, to help people who feel stuck find a path forward. Loving being part of the amazing connection and guidance is a bonus!

Fear is dark and creepy and easily fill your head up with guilt and doubt.  When I started the year, I knew that my goal was to speak my voice. Since then I've been interviewed on a couple of Podcast and was selected to host the oldest Asian festival in Canada, Festival Acces Asie. But I require more time on stage, more time to share my fears, my doubts and guilts. I want to make myself available for those who are afraid. I share my story in order to help you rise.  Close your eyes and shift your mind away from mere thoughts of fear.  If you'd like to connect, message me from my contact page.  Enjoy the Full Moon Special -dw

Full Moon Special - I Feared Being Heard

Ep15 I had planned since the beginning to have my mom on the show at some point. First, I had to see if she'd do it. Second, we had to get really vulnerable at the microphone. This was a tough interview. Ooof! My mom asked me a deep question at the end of the episode. I answered truthfully at that moment. But today, after editing our recording I felt the tug I had to tug out of my red heart.  So here it goes. Mom, since the day you introduced me to mama, she has never once said anything positive about you to me. I never understood why she'd do that to her own daughter. I fell rock bottom a few years ago. A few months later mama calls me to tell me that she had been praying for me to get back with my ex-husband. That one hurt. I felt confused, anger and betrayal of trust.  I realized that what she was doing to my mind had become a game of tug of war between the two people who love me most. And I felt it in every blood cell I carried and have been carrying for a long time. No matter what I've never allowed mama's nonsense to penetrate through my skin. I loved mama, you know I did, but I loved you more. Throughout your journey and I have felt so much pain. Your pain and mama's pain. And although they were never really mine, I have been storing the emotions that come with pain because I did not know how to let them go. I tugged and pulled out that old, heavy,  dark and lonely feeling string out of my red heart today.... and let it go. Looked at it, thanked it and then, let it go.    WHY DOES MOM GET TO CELEBRATE FATHER'S DAY? Every year, since ever, my sister and I would include our mom on the Father's Day festivities by wishing her, just like dad a Happy Father's Day. She's been there taking on both roles since I could remember. And, she deserves it! Love, La Cosita Chiquita De La Casa De Mami xox    

Bonus - Happy Father's Day Mom

I am personally inviting you to join me in my private boudoir with the chosen Queens of 2019. I am so fortunate to be in the presence of intelligent, feminine and empowering businesswomen who want to speak up about the path they’ve pursued and how it has helped them discover and accept femininity even at its most intimate levels. I call it living your inner art. Much of my personal and business life was based on pleasing others. With burn-outs and negative criticism, I was forced to revamp my priorities and reconnect with my true me. Since then, I have been led by a god-like energy expressing emotionally and artistically what I authentically love doing. I am an artistic interior designer with the power to connect environments and people. It is a personal and self- deserving connection you must experience once in your life. I design coveted boudoir rooms and private spaces. My ability comes from my unconventional method to feel with all five senses. It is the ultimate healing and emotional experience a woman can gift herself. This natural necessity to immerse yourself in a sensual and deeply connected enveloping space has proven to really heal and help you rise back up to her throne. The Queens on my show have a super royal power to share with you that will empower an ultimate connection within you. Learn from them and my solo shows how we take back our power and find balance through a personalized connection. Our strengths together is how I see us changing, inspiring and improving the quality of other Queens in our culture, artistically, spiritually, sexually, politically and professionally. As a supportive listener, you will notice the power of the voice within these women in hopes that it will help you find yours. Use my branded Boudoir Therapy journal available on my website www.darleenwong.com for that intimate experience the Boudoir Therapy Podcast has to offer. Share the stories with a Queen in need and never never stop living your inner art, because you deserve it!
