Money Wounds And Mother Money with Linda Garcia
My peoples...I have to share this powerful lady and her work. As a daughter of immigrants, I arrived to the US at a year and inherited the "work hard to make money" pattern, I've always known I can make money since I've been on my own in NYC since I am 21. As a spiritual healer and teacher for decades, I've been abundant in my work yet...I knew that it came with quite the amount of work! Taking a deep breath in, I took the class and I am now so excited to invest and open to multiplying my paper. It's been an honor and a pleasure to share this beautiful mujer's journey!
Linda Garcia shares her spiritual and money healing journey from being a child connecting to the moon, being a teenage mom and her corporate career with Telemundo, Netflix and her inspiration for Let There Be Luz Podcast and her current course,” Wealth Rules Everything Around Me.”
We talk about:
- How the feeling that she had a mission moved her forward.
- How her intuition guided her around her menstrual cycle.
- Guiding Latinas into a new relationship with their monthly cycle.
- How her pregnancy and the birth of her son deepened her spiritual path and mission to share.
- The transformation during the pandemic that shifted Let There Be Luz podcast to In Luz We Trust and the classes that she's been teaching.

Boundaries and Our Sacred No with Shirley Johnson
Monday Sep 21, 2020
Monday Sep 21, 2020
I had the honor and great pleasure of having Shirley Johnson of Soulistic Wellness on my Bruja Rising Instagram Lives May 8th 2020 and after the lives we jumped on a recording session. My apologies for taking so long for me to share this conversation with this beautiful and generous soul.
Shirley Johnson, Psychotherapist + Energy Healer and Yoga teacher shares her journey from being a daughter of musicians, working in corporate, how the traditional study of psychology gave her more boundaries in her sacred work and why she calls herself an empath in recovery.
Some of the points that came up during our conversation:
- Everyone is a healer.
- What we are trying to do out there needs to be done in here ( within ourselves.)
- We already have it all, we’ve had it since we are born.
- How boundaries are KEY to being a healthy EMPATH.
- The medicine in traditional psychology training that connected Shirley with her sacred no.
- How being a therapist has taught her to observe and honor her boundaries.
- Why being self-FULL is needed.
- How business can also create boundaries.

“I’d rather be whole than good.” - Carl Jung
I am interested in wholeness and authenticity in all the work I do. I believe that radical authenticity and acceptance heal. I believe that acknowledging every emotion and desire will set us free. I have been committed to self studying and diving deep into all things healing for the last 15 years. My life is grounded in building consciousness. Outside of my practice, I love Cuban Salsa dance, hip hop music from the 90’s, watercolor painting, hot yoga, and laughing out loud.

Angie came to Santeria at a young age and became a Priestess of Oshun and left with many lessons, awareness and self-love.
One of my questions I came to this interview was, “ how do we reclaim our inner healing abilities and show up in life to create a business? When did you realize you were a healer and how did you start sharing your work?"
Angie then experienced a disappointing experience with a church that made her realize, “ I can’t ignore what I know.”
As she explored and became a practitioner of Quantum Healing Hypnosis.
- How putting a price on your services can change the energy in a way that serves you.
- Developing a loving relationship with money in order to thrive in life and business.
